However, the road to development is not smooth. As Xiangyang Village became more and more well-known, some lawless elements also set their sights on this land. They attempted to destroy the harmony and stability of the village and seek personal gain. One day, a group of strangers suddenly came to the village. They claimed that they wanted to invest in the development of Xiangyang Village, but the conditions they proposed were very harsh. They asked the villagers to transfer a large amount of land and control the tourism development rights of the village. Qi Tongwei and the villagers realized that there might be a huge conspiracy behind this.

Qi Tongwei called a meeting of the villagers to discuss countermeasures. At the meeting, everyone was indignant and said that they would not let the criminals succeed. An old man named Uncle Wang said excitedly: "Our village is where our ancestors have lived for generations. We can't give it away for the sake of immediate interests. We must protect our home!" The villagers nodded in agreement.

Qi Tongwei calmly analyzed the current situation and told the villagers that we cannot blindly refuse, but we cannot easily agree. We must negotiate with these people to strive for the greatest benefits, while also protecting our land and resources. So Qi Tongwei led the village representatives and launched a fierce negotiation with the lawbreakers.

At the negotiation table, Qi Tongwei argued with reason and explained to the criminals the development plan of Xiangyang Village and the demands of the villagers. He stressed that the development of the village must be based on the interests of the villagers and that a few people should not be allowed to make huge profits. After several days and nights of arduous negotiations, the criminals finally realized that they could not succeed easily. In the end, they left Xiangyang Village in disgrace.

This incident made Qi Tongwei and the villagers more vigilant. They strengthened the village's public security management and established a patrol team to guard the village's safety day and night. At the same time, Qi Tongwei also realized that the development of the village requires the establishment of a sound legal system to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the villagers. Therefore, he invited legal experts to the village to popularize legal knowledge for the villagers and help the village formulate a series of rules and regulations.

While the economy was developing, Qi Tongwei did not forget the cultural heritage of the village. He organized the villagers to sort out the historical materials of the village and compile the village history so that future generations can understand the development process of Xiangyang Village. He also encouraged the villagers to inherit and carry forward traditional handicrafts, such as paper cutting and weaving. A handicraft cooperative was established in the village to bring these handicrafts to the market, which not only increased the income of the villagers, but also protected and passed on traditional handicrafts.

As Xiangyang Village continues to develop, Qi Tongwei's reputation is growing. After his deeds were reported by the media, they attracted widespread attention from the society. Many places have invited him to share his experience and teach the way of development. Qi Tongwei is always happy to go there. He hopes that through his efforts, more villages will embark on the road of prosperity and development.

During this process, Qi Tongwei also encountered some doubts and challenges. Some people thought that his development model was too radical and posed certain risks. Some people were jealous of his achievements and deliberately discredited him. In the face of these doubts and smears, Qi Tongwei did not back down. He firmly believed that as long as his starting point was for the development of the village and the happiness of the villagers, nothing could stop him from moving forward.

He responded to these doubts with practical actions. He led the villagers to continuously explore innovation and improve the development model, making the development of Xiangyang Village more stable. At the same time, he also actively communicated with the outside world, shared his experiences and lessons, and won the recognition and respect of more people.

Many years later, Qi Tongwei stood at the highest point of the village, overlooking this land full of vitality and vigor. He saw the harvest in the fields, heard the laughter of the children in the school, and felt the happy life of the villagers.

The newly built cement roads lead directly to every household, small Western-style buildings are scattered around, and solar street lights are neatly arranged on the roadside.

Qi Tongwei withdrew from the development of the village and returned to a quiet rural life. Every morning, he would wake up to the sound of birds singing, and then go to his own vegetable garden to water and fertilize, watching the tender green vegetables grow vigorously, and his heart was full of satisfaction. However, such a peaceful life did not last long. One day, an uninvited guest broke the tranquility.

The person who came was Cuicui, a woman who had had many interactions with Qi Tongwei during the development of the village. Cuicui stood in the yard of Qi Tongwei's house with a complicated look in her eyes. "Tongwei, long time no see." She said softly. Qi Tongwei looked at her in surprise, "Cuicui, why are you here?" After a few pleasantries, Cuicui's expression became serious, "Tongwei, I came here this time to tell you something."

At this moment, three children ran out of the house, two boys and one girl, all young, with innocent smiles on their faces. "Dad, who is this?" the youngest girl asked, looking up. Qi Tongwei gently touched her head, "This is Aunt Cuicui. Children, these are the children adopted by Dad. Their parents are gone, and we will be a family from now on." Cuicui looked at the three children, and her heart moved slightly. She could see Qi Tongwei's love for the children.

However, what Cuicui said next surprised Qi Tongwei greatly. "Tongwei, I have liked you for a long time. I know you have a family now, but I want you to divorce and be with me." Cuicui's tone was firm. Qi Tongwei was stunned. He didn't expect Cuicui to say such a thing. "Cuicui, don't joke. My wife and I have a good relationship, and these children also need a complete family." Qi Tongwei said seriously.

Cuicui refused to give up. "Tongwei, don't you have any feelings for me at all? For so many years, I have been silently paying attention to you. I have done so much for you, can't you consider my feelings?" Cuicui's eyes became red. Qi Tongwei felt helpless. He always regarded Cuicui as a friend and never thought that something like this would happen. "Cuicui, feelings cannot be forced. I am very grateful for everything you have done for me and the village, but I can't do this."

The two were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. At this time, Qi Tongwei's wife came back, and when she saw the scene at home, she immediately understood what was going on. She walked to Qi Tongwei and gently held his hand, "What happened?" Qi Tongwei briefly told the story, and after listening, his wife smiled and said to Cuicui: "Cuicui, I know you have feelings for Tongwei, but he is my husband. We have been through so much together, and this family cannot be broken up. The children also need us."
