The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

The village chief's voice brought her back to her thoughts, and his old hand pointed to the shed on one side of the yard. There was a long table underneath and benches on both sides.

The village chief and Zhao Boping sat on one side, Lan Wangshu sat on the other side, and He Yi stood beside her.

His tall and mighty figure gave the two ordinary villagers opposite him a great sense of oppression. Just looking at his muscular body, they knew that he was not someone to be trifled with. Cang Wenyuan put down the book in his hand, walked over and sat down next to the village chief.

He was very curious about what this little girl could talk about that made her father so reserved. As far as he knew, this wheat was discovered by this girl and the seeds were given to the eldest brother of the Zhao family. It was reasonable for him to come and listen.

"Xiuqi, go read some books. You are already a scholar. These are all matters of the village. I dare not delay you."

"Dad, what are you talking about? Even if I am a Jinshi, I am still your son. There is no point in just studying."

Cang Wenyuan closed the book, placed it on the table, tilted his head to look at the village chief, with a smile and admiration in his eyes.

Lan Wangshu felt that what he said made sense. If he could stay in the village for a while longer, the tofu shop would be guaranteed with him looking after it.

"Brother Cang is right. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Some things still need to be done in person."

"The Lan family's sister sounds like she has been educated."

What Cang Wenyuan was going to do this time was somewhat related to this little girl, so he couldn't help but probe her.

"I learned a little secretly and read some random books."

Lan Wangshu didn't want to argue with him about this anymore. Scholars of this era could chat for a whole day, but she didn't have that much time. It was getting late, so she had to return to the courtyard before daybreak.

"He Yi, you should sit down too. It will take a while."

"Yes, Miss Blue."

He Yi sat quietly about a foot away from her, silently serving as a background board.

"I've been doing business with the young master of the He family recently. This is the person he assigned to me to protect my safety."

The village chief stroked his beard and nodded, waiting for her to continue speaking.

"It's like this, Grandpa Village Chief. I've been living in the county recently and have not been idle. With the help of Young Master He, I have developed a kind of food. I plan to open a workshop in the village. When the time comes, people who have nothing to do at home can come here to work."

She took out a few paper bags from her waist, put them on the table, and pushed them to Zhao Boping.

"Here are some seeds. I wrote down some of the growing environments of the crops on the paper. I hope Uncle Zhao will take care of it. If they can be successfully cultivated, the village can plant some. Dingzhenlou in the county will give priority to the goods from Cangnan Village. Remember to take the household registration when you go to sell them."

"Child, you finally have a better life, but you still remember the village."

The village chief was very moved and thought that Lan Wangshu had a very upright character. He thought that the one or two taels of gold he gave to the village last time had not been used, and now he was giving money to the villagers again.

"This is a way of repaying a favor. My siblings and I grew up eating at many people's homes, so it's only right that we repay them a little more."

The village chief had never been in the officialdom, so he just thought she was a good child who knew how to repay her kindness, and he always had a smile on his face.

"Shu girl, you don't have to do this in the future. These are just some wild vegetables and food. You kids can eat as much as you want. This is enough."

"Listen to the village chief."

Lan Wangshu smiled with her eyes curved and agreed without hesitation, expressing her gratitude for the kindness shown by Cangnan Village. If the villagers could remember their kindness in the future, she would not be stingy in giving them opportunities to make money. If they were asked to repay the favor, she would have no scruples.

Cang Wenyuan's gaze never stopped. Gao, who was standing next to him, came over with tea, glanced at her husband, then glanced at Lan Wangshu, and sat down next to her.

"Sister Lan, how come you are so capable that you can even open a workshop?"

Lan Wangshu gave her a strange look. What was wrong with the flattering tone? What was so good about her that was worthy of Gao's fawning?

"It's just a coincidence. The right time, right place, and right people. Sister-in-law, if you observe life more often, you may get unexpected gains."

"I am ashamed to say that my father was also a scholar and had read some books since he was young. But I am stupid and I didn't see the beauty and golden house in the books."

Lan Wangshu lowered her eyes, her eyes rolled, and an idea formed in her mind, but she didn't say it out loud in a hurry.

"Then you can't give up, sister-in-law. Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear. Who knows what kind of opportunities will be waiting for you in the future."

She looked at the woman in front of her with a smile. She was very honest, with a dark complexion and bright, clear eyes. She looked very comfortable.

"The Lan family's sister's insights into knowledge are far beyond those of ordinary people, even those who have studied for many years. It's a pity that she is a woman."

Cang Wenyuan admired her knowledge very much. If she were a man, she would be able to thrive in the officialdom with such a clever mind.

"It is God's will that I was given the identity of a woman. The same is true for my sister-in-law. Don't underestimate yourself. God has his own plans. You must seize the opportunity when you encounter it."

Gao felt that there was something else behind her words, and although she didn't understand it, she nodded in conviction.
