Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Seeing that everyone had finished talking, Xiao Wan said to Zhao Lizheng, "Congratulations, Grandpa Zhao. I just happened to have something else to do. I'll come over and discuss it with you tomorrow when you're done."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Lizheng cried out, "Wan girl, don't wait until tomorrow, tell me today, otherwise I will still be thinking about this matter."

Seeing Zhao Li's anxious look, Xiao Wan smiled and without delay, she quickly told him that she needed to recruit people in the village.

After hearing this, Zhao Lizheng's joy welled up on his face again, and he couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Of course, family affairs are a happy event, but what Xiao Wan mentioned is also a happy event.

He is a responsible headman and also serves as the village chief. The livelihood of the villagers has always been his concern, but he does not have much ability.

Unexpectedly, the girl from the Xiao family, who had been quiet in the village, discovered potatoes, a new food, as if she were a savior who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Not only did he ensure that the people of the entire Yuan Dynasty had enough to eat, but he also opened a workshop in the village so that villagers could work and earn money right at their doorstep.

What's more, she was even personally conferred the title of county princess by the emperor, and she was the county princess right next door.

From now on, Kaoshan Village will no longer have to worry about being exploited by the government or bullied by Zhou Village.

The Xiao family is truly the backbone of Kaoshan Village and even Jiyun City.

What moved Zhao Lizheng even more was that no matter whether Xiao Wan had become a county lady or was just a peasant girl, she always trusted him as the head of the village.

After living for so many years and working hard for the villagers for so many years, Zhao Lizheng finally met Xiao Wan and truly understood what scholars meant by "soulmate" and "mentor".

It's a pity that his grandson and Miss Wan have no chance together. He can see that Miss Wan has no interest in his grandson. Even before she became the county lord, Miss Wan only had feelings for Cheng Ge'er as a fellow villager.

However, Cheng'er couldn't see through it or understand it, so he registered for the provincial examination without telling his family.

Since his marriage proposal was rejected, there has been no estrangement between Zhao Lizheng and the Xiao family, but Cheng Ge'er was obviously devastated. He locked himself in the room and studied until midnight with a lamp on.

Even his daughter-in-law, Yao, was a little worried that her son would get sick from overwork, and she cried and begged Cheng'er to rest.

But Cheng Ge'er always comforted his mother with kind words and continued to study as usual afterwards.

I guess he took part in the provincial examination this time in order to gain fame and win Xiao Wan's favor.

But judging from Wan's expression, she was just happy for Cheng'er's success as a fellow villager, and there was nothing else to it.

That's right. With the example of Yuan Ge'er from the Zhao family, his grandson really has no chance of winning.

Oh, I'm thinking too far ahead. I'm old and can't care about so many things. Zhao Lizheng quickly pulled himself back to his senses and focused on what Xiao Wan was talking about.

Although he was very excited about his grandson's success in the imperial examination, the livelihood of the villagers was still his concern.

He temporarily put aside his grandson's happy event and said to Xiao Wan, "Girl, I'll think about this matter when I get home. Let's choose someone from your clan first. As usual, we must choose someone who is diligent and honest."

"Don't worry, I'm an old man, so I'll definitely pick it out for you. If you're willing to give us a chance, I'll thank you on our behalf."

Xiao Wan waved her hands repeatedly, telling Zhao Lizheng not to be polite.

"By the way, Grandpa Zhao, we only need to find six errand runners and two people to prepare side dishes. I plan to use Uncle Zhao Dayong to be in charge of the takeaway counter." Xiao Wan said casually.

This Zhao Dayong is about the same age as herself, but he is a whole generation older than her. Xiao Wan feels very uncomfortable, but since she calls Zhao Laoer "Second Uncle", she can only call Zhao Dayong "Uncle".

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lizheng was immediately delighted. He knew that Xiao Wan appointed her own nephew as the manager not only because Dayong was honest and hardworking, but also because she wanted to promote Dayong for her own sake.

My younger brother's family has not had an easy life. When Dayong was selected to join Banchengxian, his family was extremely happy.

I am also happy for my nephew. Now the family finally has someone to rely on. Working for the county lady is definitely a good way out.

His second son also works for the Xiao family, and his daughter-in-law is also a small manager, so he can be considered to have a promising future.

Zhao Lizheng deeply felt that one should be honest and selfless and not be cunning or deceitful. Otherwise, how could Xiao Wan trust him so much and help the village and his family?

Thinking of this, Zhao Lizheng patted his chest and promised that he would select the person by the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Xiao Wan hurriedly said that there was no rush. After all, the opening of the ancestral hall tomorrow was a big event in the village, so she asked Zhao Lizheng to focus on tomorrow's matters first.

Zhao Lizheng returned home in high spirits, thinking about all the happy events in his family and the village, and he couldn't help but walk with a breeze.

Seeing this, the village head's wife, Mrs. Sun, smiled and joked, "Is there anything else that makes you happy?"

There was nothing to hide about this matter, so Zhao Lizheng told Xiao Wan what she had asked.
