Goodbye, My Love

The second step is to maintain quality. The orphanage’s geographical location is convenient for people from the county to visit. If

the market is well organized, once the roads are repaired, we can leverage the market’s reputation to further promote the village

and attract city dwellers to visit. Moreover, not everyone who wants an authentic experience necessarily wants to stay in a farm

lodge. We can convert villagers’ houses into homestays directly.

These two steps will lay a solid foundation. Once the roads are repaired, it will be easier for city dwellers to visit, and any further

development of farm Lodges will also be more straightforward.”

Loraine knew that her proposal wasn’t a mere pipe dream. In high society, charity galas were common, but she believed it would

be more meaningful to do something genuinely impactful for the orphanage.

With the backing of the Universe Group, she felt confident the project would succeed.

Most of the villagers found her words somewhat confusing, the concept of charity markets unfamiliar to them. However, the

promise of starting small businesses immediately, without waiting for the farm lodge to be built, piqued their interest.

“It sounds much better.”

“I think it’s possible! I support Loraine!”

Voices of agreement began to rise, and even Eloise spoke up. “This way, we don’t need to demolish the orphanage, and it can provide the children with an opportunity to be self-reliant. It’s a sensible plan,

Lorrie, I support you.”

To utilize the area for a market, the open space surrounding the orphanage, currently littered with construction debris, would need to be cleared. This space had been left unused since the orphanage was built, and Eloise was always concerned that the mischievous children would play in the rubble and get hurt.

Loraine’s suggestion could simultaneously solve this problem.

The more the villagers considered the idea, the more they were tempted by Loraine’s proposal. On the other hand, Judie was becoming frantic.

She scratched her head in frustration, exclaiming, “Don’t Listen to

Loraine’’s grandiose promises! If everyone starts doing business, what’s the point of repairing the roads? And repairing the roads will require a considerable sum. Who will pay for it? If everyone has to contribute, how will you find the money to start businesses? And how long will it take to get them off the ground? Loraine is just fooling us!”

Judie’s concerns about finances caused the villagers’ enthusiasm to falter momentarily. They recognized that the idea of repairing the roads was appealing, but none were eager to foot the bill. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Loraine responded to Judie’s objections with a sneer, declaring, “As for the road repairs, I will handle all arrangements once the villagers agree. As for the cost, there’s no need to worry. Consider it my contribution to the village, a gesture of thanks for past kindnesses.”

This reassurance, coupled with the fact that the villagers wouldn’t have to spend any money, swung their opinions back in

Loraine’s favor.

Her demonstration of gratitude painted her as a benevolent figure, while Judie’s stubborn resistance to the road repairs began to

appear unreasonable and overbearing.

Seizing the opportunity, Loraine continued, “Judie insists that she’s looking out for everyone’s finances, but why does she still

object when

I offered to pay for the road repairs? She doesn’t have to spend a cent, so why is she so set on taking the orphanage’s Land? If

she truly wants to develop farm lodges, there are plenty of unused plots in the village. Why not choose one of those? It appears

that she’s more invested in her personal interests than the well-being of the villagers. Her behavior is not unlike that of a local

tyrant!”

Upon listening to Loraine’s argument, the villagers considered her rationale sound and directed their questioning looks at Judie.

“Judie,” one villager said, his voice filled with earnest confusion,

“Loraine is right. Our village has plenty of empty Land. Why focus on the orphanage? Even if the conditions there are great, it

doesn’t seem worth the trouble.”
