Back at the village, Zhao Tiezhu saw many households had already purchased red bricks and various steel structures. They were in the midst of a frantic push to build greenhouses. He hoped they would be able to supply vegetables consistently and embark on a path to prosperity from this point on.
Zhu Hongyu, however, remained pessimistic. "Sigh, the look of that Hou Jingtao—he doesn't seem like a good person at all. He might unilaterally tear up the agreements, and then these villagers will be the ones to suffer!"
Relying too much on a single channel was equivalent to putting all one's eggs in one basket; it was a dangerous business practice. Zhao Tiezhu was noncommittal, saying lightly, "People choose their own paths. We've already warned them, but if they insist on jumping into a fire pit, there's only so much we can do. We are powerless to stop them."
