Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich
Chapter 170 Grain grabbing
The news that Ye Laoer won the third place in the imperial examination was known not only to the entire Changhua County, but also to everyone in Yongzhou Prefecture.
The son-in-law of the Wang family has received such a great honor. Wang is now valued by the family as important as the apple of their eye. If she coughs a little, they can even call several doctors.
Ever since Dr. Sun went to the provincial capital, Huichuntang is still open, but business is not as good as before.
On the contrary, the Ye Family Clinic was packed with patients every day because the doctor on duty was invited from the provincial capital and had excellent medical skills.
Boss Ye is good at farming, but it is a bit difficult to ask him to look at the account books.
So before Ye Lao Er went to take the exam, he asked his uncle Wang Xiaoquan from the Wang family to help him find a manager for the clinic, and the daily accounts were handed over to Wang for review.
Although Wang was in poor health, it was no problem for her to see the shopkeeper once a month. Besides, the doctors treating Wang were all from their own clinic, so she could kill two birds with one stone.
And with Wang's uncle watching nearby, there was no need to worry about being cheated.
Although Wang's uncle does not hold an official position, he also has business on hand.
The Ye Family Clinic would usually receive some medicinal materials, but the quantity was far from enough.
Without Sun Qian's supply of medicinal materials, Wang Xiaoquan naturally took over, which unexpectedly brought him a lot of profits and opened up a new way to make money.
The patrol in Yejia Village is pretty good now, mainly because Ye Anshun learned from the county police chief for a month and has learned a lot more tricks.
Everyone thinks: as long as the county town is not in chaos, Yejia Village will be safe for the time being.
The next day, after Boss Ye arrived in the county town, he first delivered the things on the carriage to the Ye family grocery store and explained everything clearly to the clan member who was looking after the store.
Then he went to Ye's restaurant and told Aunt Li and the others that if there was any trouble, they should close the store and go back to the village.
After dealing with these things, Boss Ye went to buy some cakes and went to the house in the county town.
Although it was the Ye family's house, the people employed were all servants of the Wang family, and Ye Lao Da was welcomed in like a guest. Fortunately, he saw Wang in the yard after a while.
In addition to Wang, Wang's brother-in-law Wang Xiaolei was also present.
After the greetings, Boss Ye told Uncle Wang about the clan's decision, mainly wanting to ask about the Wang family's arrangements for Wang.
Although Wang Xiaolei is young, he also participates in family affairs and spoke after a while.
"Now that my second brother-in-law is far away in the imperial city, it is inconvenient to go in and out of Yejia Village, so my second sister will naturally be taken care of by my family."
"My second sister is due in early August. One month in advance, our family plans to invite a midwife and a doctor to live at home permanently."
Before this happened, Old Lady Ye had specifically mentioned that childbirth is a matter of life and death for a woman. This is Wang's third child, and she is not young anymore.
I didn't expect that Wang Xiaolei, an unmarried man, could be so thoughtful. What does he have to worry about?
"Siyuan arranged a doctor before the exam, and Doctor Sun will also come from Yongzhou Prefecture half a month in advance." Boss Ye said with a smile.
Wang heard her husband's name and his arrangements, and felt the care in his heart. She was so moved that she burst into tears: "Now I send people to wait at the post station every day, hoping that Siyuan can write more letters."
Not every couple has such delicate and thoughtful feelings. After hearing this, Boss Ye didn't know how to respond.
Instead, Wang Xiaolei comforted him, "Second brother-in-law has always been the most reliable, but now he is in the imperial city, there must be many things that he cannot control. Moreover, Ali has also passed the exam, and he may be too busy to handle things."
Speaking of this, Wang turned from sadness to joy, wiped her tears and smiled, "Ali has been just like his father since he was young, and he is good at studying. It was my younger sister who had the foresight to send him to the county school. They lived up to our expectations and finally made a good living for the family."
She stroked the baby in her belly and a smile spread across her face.
Boss Ye and the others didn't know about the things that Ye Li didn't refer to. Wang felt a little regretful after she finished speaking.
But Boss Ye has always been open-minded about this, and instead smiled and said, "From now on, the family will rely entirely on Second Brother."
Before leaving, Boss Ye asked Wang Xiaolei about the security guards in the house. After knowing that the Wang family had hired more than ten security guards to guard the house day and night, he was completely relieved.
After confirming the situation on Wang's side, Boss Ye went to the school of Ye Lu and Ye Mu. Because they were in school, he didn't see them, but the clothes and food he brought were delivered.
Now that everyone in the school knows their identities, they are no longer worried about being bullied. Instead, they are worried that others will be too enthusiastic and delay their studies.
Although the village has decided not to use the water from the col for irrigation, the water in the river has not completely dried up, so people can be seen carrying water to irrigate the crops every day. Even if the harvest is poor, it is better than having no harvest at all.
What to do if there is nothing to eat?
Of course we have to rob. We can’t starve to death.
With the grain reserves in every household in Yejia Village, a drought would not cause people to starve to death, but other villages and towns were not as lucky as them.
Another half month passed, and the grain was still not fully ripe. In previous years, it would take ten days or so. But seeing the pairs of prying eyes from other villages, the head of the village decided to harvest early.
No one talks about rituals at this time, food is life.
Everyone in the surrounding area knew that Yejia Village was wealthy and had a good grain harvest. Even though there were patrol teams, everyone was still very cautious, fearing that outsiders would come and steal the food.
Old Mrs. Ye heard the noise in the middle of the night, a mixture of cries for help, footsteps, and fighting.
Old Mrs. Ye had experienced fleeing famine, so she didn’t even have any relatives from her mother’s family in Yejia Village for so many years.
Hearing the sound, he took Su and Xiaowan and went down to the hole that had been dug in advance at home.
Based on her current understanding of the village, this wave of people who came to steal food would definitely not get any food.
But the noise outside not only did not stop, but became louder and louder.
Through the two layers of wooden boards above their heads, the three of them could hear all kinds of screams outside.
It was not until dawn that the sounds outside gradually faded away.
There were three long and one short agreed sounds on the wooden board, and then Old Lady Ye opened the bolt from the inside and came out of the cave.
It turned out that some outsiders had sneaked into the village and came to steal food. There were more than a dozen strong men on the other side. The family at the entrance of the village was the first to be affected. The child in the family was smart and secretly ran out to get help.
Upon receiving the news, torches were lit in Yejia Village, and a patrol team of young and strong men, one holding knives, guns, sticks and clubs, rushed forward, and the others followed with hoes and shovels.
"It's okay. We had anticipated this situation and we have tied up the people. It was the first time that the village head uncle was dealing with this situation and he insisted on bringing Dad along, so I came back first." Boss Ye said with a smile to comfort him.
They were frightened all night, especially Xiaowan. I don’t know if it was because the cave was cold or because she was too frightened, but she actually showed signs of fever.
