Wu Xiaoliu's eyes shifted. "Are there other, better places?"
Chief Chen said, "That, I don't know. After all, I've explored the entire area near the county government, but I haven't personally gone any farther.
With so many mountain ranges around here, I can't give you a definite answer.
If you feel it's not suitable, I can help you look again later. It's just that you'll waste all this time."
Just then, Lai San grabbed Wu Xiaoliu's hand and pulled him aside. "Boss, I actually think this place is pretty good.
Think about it, it's close to the county seat. It'll be much more convenient for us to go into town in the future. If we settle somewhere farther out, a round trip to town could take a day or two, maybe even longer."
He spent his days wandering through various villages, so he knew that many women had married out from distant hamlets. There were plenty of more remote places.
