Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

In the afternoon, the two packed up and went home.

According to Xu Jinhua, most of the Wei family's servants were also infected with the cold. It just so happened that the Wuzhou fried rice business was booming during this period, so making two hundred coins would be the most they could make from this round trip.

And it rains from time to time.

Xu Wenyan told Jia Anqing that he would suspend the business for a period of time. During this time, Xu Wenyan had his own way of making money.

The road is really bad after the heavy rain. Not only is it bumpy, but it is also extremely slippery.

I came back a little late today, and I wanted to rest right after dinner.

Just as I passed the village entrance, I saw a fire in the direction of the ancestral hall.

As long as these people gather at the entrance of the ancestral hall, something bad is bound to happen.

Chen Sanlin drove the carriage and asked, "Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"Let's see. I'm afraid Brother Xingjie can't handle it."

When the two arrived, Chen Xingjie was surrounded by the villagers again as expected. However, there was nothing they could do about it because farmers would go to the village chief if there was any problem at home.

Whether it is dividing the family, buying land, transferring ownership, something being lost at home, who took more vegetables from whom, and other trivial matters, you have to go to the village chief for help.

It's not just their village, it's like this in every village.

That's why Xu Wenyan was reluctant to be the village chief. It was really too troublesome.

"Village chief, all the vegetables in the field have been washed away. What should we do?"

"Yes, the ridges of the fields have all been washed away. God has given us no way to survive."

Listening to the villagers chattering, if Wang Dongmei was not pregnant, she would definitely be able to calm these villagers down at this time.

Chen Xingjie also had a worried look on his face: "Don't worry, everyone. I have already approved the matter and there will be a reply..."

Looking at the way Chen Xingjie handled things, Xu Wenyan shook his head. He was pampering the villagers too much. The head of a village must establish prestige.

In the past, I had to solve problems by cursing in front. After all, Chen Xingjie was just a child, not two years older than Xu Wenyan. It was really difficult for him to manage hundreds of people.

Although Xu Wenyan has good ideas, Chen Xingjie has to establish his own prestige at this time. Let's wait until he can't handle it.

When the two returned home, the children were all worried sick.

Chen Dong rushed out of the yard early when he heard the sound of the carriage: "Uncle, why didn't you come back yesterday?"

He picked up Chen Dong and walked into the inner room: "Didn't it rain when we practiced martial arts yesterday? The road was slippery, so we stayed at your uncle Xiao Jia's house for one night."

It was a coincidence that Xu Wenyan came here because Xiaoman had just finished cooking. In fact, Xiaoman's cooking skills were quite good. Some peas were killed in the field, so he picked a lot of pea tips and brought them back to eat boiled.

"Is there nothing big happening in the village these two days?" Xu Wenyan asked after taking the meal brought by Chen Sanlin.

Xiaoman shook her head: "No, it's just that our land was washed away a little. Xiaohu and I repaired it for a long time today, and there is nothing special. The potatoes were not affected much, and some peas were killed."

These are all inevitable, and generally within Xu Wenyan's tolerable range.

"By the way, let's go to the mountain together tomorrow. There was a rainbow today, so it will most likely be sunny tomorrow." Xu Wenyan had already thought about it. At this time, the county would definitely be extremely short of medicinal materials for treating colds and fevers.

At this time, Xu Wenyan needs to collect as many as possible and sell them as soon as possible. He has already decided who to sell them to.

There are still plenty of Houttuynia cordata, licorice, and dandelions. As for mulberry leaves, there are relatively fewer here, but more by the pond. You can also get some willow bark and roots.

After finishing his meal, Xu Wenyan contacted the twenty people in his previous team. Including the Zeng family, the Hua family, and that idiot, there were nearly thirty people in the team.

First, we will test the waters and see how the sales of these medicinal materials are. Even paying them five cents a day would be considered a high salary.

Chen Sanlin took Xu Wenyan's hand and walked outside. The roads in the village had not been paved in the past few days.

"Do you want me to carry you?"

Xu Wenyan waved his hand: "No need, I'll call you when I get tired of waiting."

The road from Chen Sanlin's house to the village entrance is flat, but to get to Chen Xingjie's house you have to go down a slope.

Chen Sanlin went down first, dragging Xu Wenyan down with him.

"You should be careful too. Don't keep looking at me. Look at your feet." Xu Wenyan saw that Chen Sanlin had slipped several times. He was obviously tall and had difficulty keeping balance, and he kept looking at himself.

After some effort, the two of them first arrived at the ancestral hall, where the fire was still flickering.

Five people gathered together and the fool sat on a straw mat, hugging his legs.

"Captain Xu, why are you here? The ground is very slippery." Hua sat up and prepared to make room for the two.

Xu Wenyan waved her hand and asked her to sit down: "Sister Hua, we are here to discuss something with you."

"If you have any problem, just tell me directly. I will definitely help you if I can."

The fool also noticed Xu Wenyan at this time, and waved and greeted Xu Wenyan with a silly smile. Xu Wenyan also smiled and nodded at him.

"It's nothing serious. I just want you to pick more dandelions, Houttuynia cordata, and licorice tomorrow. As for what licorice is, Xiaoman and Xiaohu will tell you."

Several women nodded and agreed directly: "Well, we have nothing to do."

"I'll give you five cents a day, is that okay?" Xu Wenyan looked at the fool and turned his head back.

"Ah? No need to give me money. You have helped us sisters so much, how can we have the nerve to ask for money?" Hua quickly shook her head and refused.

Little Yang beside her also said, "Yes, Captain Xu, we don't want the money. We just want to find some wild vegetables. You are the one who taught us how to recognize these wild vegetables."

Xu Wenyan shook his head. These women had a hard life already, and he couldn't exploit them even if he wanted to. "No, let's put it one way and the other way. The sisters have worked hard and deserved the five cents."

Without giving them a chance to speak, Xu Wenyan asked again: "Does this stupid uncle know what to eat?"

Since he had never met this fool before, Xu Wenyan wanted to help him. After all, there was no technical requirement to dig wild vegetables, as long as he could recognize them.

Hua nodded: "It's okay. Although this uncle has a problem with his brain, he can understand half of what we say. I saw him go to the mountains to look for wild vegetables. Let's take him with us tomorrow."

Hua could also see that Xu Wenyan wanted to help this fool. After all, it was really a sin for him to have to make a living alone at such an old age.

"Also...Captain Xu should just be paid some food. You know this idiot will be robbed if he has money on him." Hua lowered his voice.

Xu Wenyan hummed, and let the matter be. "Come to my house tomorrow morning, and I'll provide lunch for you."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Xu Wenyan prepared to go to Chen Xingjie's house again.
