I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

"Ding-dong."

A crisp notification sound of payment receipt rang out clearly in the bustling market.

Jiang Wanhai took out his old button phone, stared at the long string of numbers displayed on it, and was completely stunned.

100,000 yuan!

Just like that... the money arrived?

He spent 10,000 yuan to learn a lesson, and in the blink of an eye, he made 90,000 yuan.

Jiang Wanhai looked at the scalding hot phone in his hand, then at Jiang Chen in the distance, who seemed calm and collected, as if he had only done something insignificant. His feelings were extremely complicated.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

After transferring the money, the scammer seemed to have all his energy drained away, collapsing to the ground, too exhausted even to cry.

Finally, Wang Dagou called two security guards who dragged him off the ground like a dead dog and threw him out of the market square.

This controversy, sparked by a fake antique, came to a dramatic end.

But its impact is only just beginning.

At the scene, countless tourists and live streamers recorded the entire process on their mobile phones.

From the swindlers' fraudulent schemes to Jiang Chen smashing bowls to inspect the goods, to Hu Lahua leading the "Auntie Inspection Team" in a "broom-wielding brawl," and finally to Jiang Chen forcefully enforcing the "tenfold compensation for fakes" rule.

The whole process was full of twists and turns, and thrilling moments; it was even more exciting than a movie!

That afternoon, a video titled #The Rich Village Chief Fights Off Fraud with Hardcore Action, and the Auntie Gang Beats Up the Scammers with Broomsticks# spread like wildfire across various short video platforms.

The video received over ten million likes in just a few hours!

The comments section exploded.

"Holy crap! This village is amazing! Selling counterfeit goods and getting ten times the compensation? The boss even personally smashed up the place for you to see?"

"My main focus is on that group of middle-aged women! Their formation, their momentum—they're like special forces in the world of square dancing!"

"This is a truly conscientious market! In this era where counterfeit goods are everywhere, Jiangjia Village's hardcore approach to guaranteeing authenticity is simply a breath of fresh air!"

"Stop talking! Where's the address? I'll crawl there if I have to on market day!"

In no time, the Jiangjia Village market became an instant sensation.

If the previous popularity was limited to a few surrounding counties and cities...

This time, thanks to the amplification of the Internet, the Jiangjia Village Market has truly broken through to a nationwide scale!

Its popularity has even surpassed some well-known 5A-level tourist attractions.

That evening, Nanjiang Provincial Television's evening news program, for the first time ever, devoted a full five minutes to a special report on the "Jiangjia Village Market Phenomenon".

On the television screen, a well-known female host was broadcasting in an enthusiastic and admiring tone.

"...A remote mountain village, through innovative management models and unwavering commitment to integrity, has successfully created a phenomenal rural cultural brand. The Jiangjia Village Market not only showcases the new possibilities of rural revitalization in the new era, but more importantly, it allows us to see the long-lost simplicity and honesty rooted in the people..."

Now, the Jiangjia Village market has received official certification.

The effect was immediate.

The next day that ends in 8.

Before dawn, the main roads leading to Jiangjia Village were already completely blocked by vehicles from all over the country.

The license plates range from "Beijing A" to "Guangdong B", from "Shanghai C" to "Sichuan D", it's like a national auto show.

According to incomplete statistics from the Qinghe County traffic police department, the number of people flowing into Jiangjia Village and its surrounding areas on this day was unprecedented, exceeding 100,000!

Such a massive influx of people has directly boosted the economy of the entire Qingshui Town, and even Qinghe County.

On the only road leading to Jiangjia Village, the two gas stations in the town that used to be barely surviving and could only sell a few barrels of oil a day have now become the most sought-after prime locations.

The line of cars waiting to refuel stretched from the station all the way to the provincial highway a kilometer away.

The managers of two gas stations hired four people to count money, and their hands cramped from counting so much money.

The houses along the roadside that were previously deserted have all been transformed into small restaurants and hotels overnight.

An old man selling bottled water can earn over a thousand yuan a day just from selling bottles that cost one yuan each.

The town's residents walked along the road with smiles on their faces, looking in the direction of Jiangjia Village as if they were looking at a god of wealth.

Qinghe County, County Head's Office.

County Head Zhang held a newly released quarterly economic data report for the entire county, his hands trembling with excitement.

He pointed to the soaring tax revenue figure on the report and laughed heartily. Inadvertently, he knocked his beloved purple clay teacup off the table and smashed it to pieces.

But he didn't care at all; instead, he pointed at the report and shouted at his secretary repeatedly.

"Did you see that?! Did you see that?! Just because of that big market in Jiangjia Village, our county's GDP was boosted by a full three percentage points!"

"This Jiang Chen! He's not just a god of wealth! He's practically a living bodhisattva for Qinghe County!"

Just as the whole county was in a frenzy over this wealth celebration.

Jiang Chen, the creator of all this, appeared unusually calm.

He sat alone in the courtyard of the old house, watching the bustling atmosphere in the direction of the market, but his mind was thinking about things further ahead.

He called Wang Dagou to his side.

"Da Gou, look at us now. We have everything we need to eat, drink, and play with, and we have more money than we can spend."

Jiang Chen's gaze turned to the construction site of the "Jiang Family Hope Primary School" that had already been marked with a plaque at the entrance of the village, and his eyes became deep.

"However, for a family or a village to truly prosper in the long run, money alone is not enough."

"Our roots need to be planted even deeper."

"Our next generation must be cultured and knowledgeable. They can't be like our generation, content with being a nouveau riche."

Wang Dagou seemed to understand but not quite, but he still nodded vigorously.

"Brother Chen, you're right! So what do we do next?"

Jiang Chen smiled and pointed in the direction of the primary school.

"Didn't you ask me last month why we spent 300 million to build that primary school?"

Wang Dagou scratched his head: "Yeah, Brother Chen, you didn't say that back then either."

Jiang Chen's gaze became distant, and he slowly spoke.

"Now, it's time to put it to use."

"Contact the construction team immediately. I remember you said it would be finished tomorrow?"

Wang Dagou nodded quickly, his face showing excitement.

"Yes! Brother Chen! The construction team just called to say that all the finishing touches are done! We can hold the completion ceremony tomorrow!"
