Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Xiaolan's family has had very good meals recently. They grow their own wheat, so they can eat wheat flour as much as they want. Shen and Zhang are both diligent daughters-in-law, and they have been making various kinds of flour these days. Xiaolan has noticed that she has gained weight.

After dinner, Xiao Lan took out the account book at home. She had sold a lot of wheat seeds in the past few days, and she recorded them one by one in the book.

Sheng Xuan drank tea while chatting with Zhang, "Of course we have to pick the best seeds to sell to others, but we should keep some for ourselves, because I plan to plant wheat next year..."

The trial planting of spring wheat was successful this time, so Sheng Xuan naturally couldn't give up planting wheat next year. This time, he planted 30 acres of wheat. Originally, Sheng Xuan didn't agree to plant so much, but in the end he listened to Xiao Lan's advice and planted all the land.

If this happened to someone else, it would be very difficult to try to grow wheat on 30 acres of land, or even to try to grow a crop that had never been grown before, even on one acre of land. Fortunately, this happened in Shengxuan's family, where Xiaolan had a lot of say. Although everyone knew that there were risks in growing wheat, this idea was proposed by Xiaolan, so everyone agreed.

Xiao Lan is smart, and now most of the family's businesses are related to her. It can be said that she is the core and brain of the family. Sure enough, the decision to grow wheat brought huge profits to the family.

After the beginning of autumn, the heat is still there and the weather is still very hot. Xiaowen has never fallen behind in his studies. Xiaohu, Xiaocheng and Xiaoqiang are also very motivated, but they are still a long way from Xiaowen. Zhang Shanfeng has lamented more than once that the Zhang family is not good at studying and has no roots for studying, but Xiaowen is different from them. The Sheng family has roots for studying.

Later, Xiao Lan understood what Zhang Shanfeng meant. It turned out that the ancestors of the Sheng family were indeed a family of scholars, but they gradually fell into decline.

Although Xiaowen and his friends have been eating three normal meals a day recently, they have lost a lot of weight visibly. Recently, Zhang and Shen have started to think about making various foods for the children, but the boys still haven't gained much weight, but have lost a lot of weight.

This made Zhang, Shen, Fu and Liu's mother very distressed. The children either went to private school or came home to do homework, and they had no free time at all.

That day, Zhao came to visit again. When two old friends talk, they naturally avoid the children. Xiaolan and Xiaoting looked at each other and understood in their hearts that Zhao came this time, most likely because of the last incident.

"We just learned that the rich businessman has returned. We heard that he came back the day before yesterday and had been living in the county town. Today, he came back to town." Zhao and Zhang muttered, "This time, the rich businessman did not come back alone. He brought his whole family with him, including his wife and children."

"what?"

"I heard that his father-in-law was ill and couldn't be cured in Hejian County. He was afraid that something might happen to the old man, so he returned home." Zhao took a deep breath and continued, "Guess what, this time he came back, he found a doctor in the county magistrate's office to check him out, and after taking a dose of medicine, the illness was cured."

"This is too mysterious..." Zhang wondered.

"That's right. There's something even more mysterious. This rich businessman came back and told people that he could make a lot of money doing business in Hejian County. But his wife and father-in-law were always sick, which showed that this place was not prosperous for their family. This time when the whole family came back, they didn't plan to go back to Hejian County." Zhao said.

After hearing what Zhao said, Zhang, even though she was dull, could hear some other meanings. She couldn't help but feel moved. This rich businessman was not going to return to Hejian County. Things should not be judged by appearances. Although he used the excuse that his father-in-law was old and needed to see a doctor, no matter what disease he had in Hejian County, it couldn't be cured. But once he came to Dafeng County, he would be cured immediately after taking a dose of medicine. If it was really as this merchant said, why didn't they come back earlier? Wouldn't coming back earlier help his father-in-law get better earlier?

This matter is most likely related to the scandal caused by Pang Xiu'e. Because of this incident, a conflict arose between the rich businessman and Sheng Nuo's family. However, Sheng Nuo is the county magistrate of Hejian County after all. A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. It would be easy for Sheng Nuo to deal with him.

However, these are just Zhang's speculations. Only the parties involved know the specific situation.

Zhao and Zhang chatted for a long time before they took a carriage back to town. After seeing Zhao off, Xiao Lan asked Zhang why Zhao came home.

This time, Zhang did not hide anything and told Zhao what she had said, "Your aunt Zhao said that the wealthy businessman Wang had made enough money in Hejian County this time, so he brought his whole family back to the town. His father-in-law is notorious for being a ruthless person."

During dinner in the evening, Zhang told Sheng Xuan about this matter in front of the children.

"It's a good thing that they're back. Even though the eldest and second sons seem smart compared to our family, they are nothing compared to Old Wang's family. They are notoriously slippery. If they don't come back, the eldest and second sons will fall into their trap sooner or later... Now that no one is leading them astray, it's better..."

"With his personality, how could he be willing to come back if he hadn't made all the money?" Xiao Lan said casually. Xiao Lan was a businessman and knew all the merchants in the town. "He was sick before and had no choice but to come back. Now he's well again, isn't he? Why doesn't he go back quickly?"

Zhang and Sheng Xuan didn't say anything, and the couple exchanged a strange look. It is said that a thief couple is a thief couple, and this is absolutely true. They both knew the reason in their hearts, but they couldn't say it. But what they didn't know was that Xiaolan and Xiaoting actually knew about it.

Xiao Lan's mind was working rapidly. If the return of the wealthy businessman surnamed Wang had nothing to do with Pang Xiu'e's matter, then it could only mean that this family had sensed danger. If the oil and water in Hejian County were to be cut off, there might be a danger of no one being left intact.

"Maybe something happened in Hejian County." Because he couldn't tell the real reason, Sheng Xuan just made up one.

"What could happen? Only the wealthy businessman Wang is afraid. My uncle and second uncle are not afraid?" Xiao Lan muttered.

"What are they afraid of? Don't forget that your uncle is the county magistrate..." Zhang said vaguely.
