After leaving Zhao Yue'er's house, Wang Xinyao rushed to Qingnianlou to collect the money. However, for some reason, she hadn't seen Chen Liangxian or Manager Chen for the past month. The only constant was that someone always prepared the money for her in advance.

After successfully getting the money at Qingnianlou, she went to the "Sheng'antang" clinic. Seeing Wang Xinyao's arrival, the shopkeeper Wu of Sheng'antang immediately came to greet her! "Miss Wang, I've been waiting for you to come. You haven't been to my clinic for a long time!"

"Hello, Manager Wu!" Wang Xinyao smiled embarrassedly. It had been a long time since she had been here!

"Miss Wang, please come in!" Shopkeeper Wu greeted warmly, and Wang Xinyao followed him into the backyard of the pharmacy. Shopkeeper Wu shouted at the top of his voice, "Shuisheng, Shuisheng, look who's here?"

"Shuisheng?" Why does this name sound familiar?

As soon as she sat down in the back hall, she saw a sturdy man kneeling in front of Wang Xinyao: "My benefactor, I've been waiting for you!"

"Benefactor?" Wang Xinyao was a little surprised.

Shopkeeper Wu immediately smiled and said, "Miss Wang, you are truly forgetful. This is Zhang Shuisheng from Zhangjia Village. His mother fainted, and you were the one who saved her!"

Wang Xinyao then remembered, oh, there was nothing she could do, there were so many people she had rescued, she couldn’t remember them all!

At this time, Zhang Shuisheng kowtowed respectfully once more, then stood up and said excitedly, "Thank you, benefactor. My mother has followed the method you gave her and hasn't fainted once in the past three months. Thank you so much!"

"Brother Zhang, you are too polite. This is a doctor's duty!" Wang Xinyao responded quickly.

At this time, Zhang Shuisheng took a bag from the corner of the room and handed it to Wang Xinyao: "My benefactor, I know you have everything you need, but these are my gifts. Please accept them!"

"What is this?" Wang Xinyao didn't take the bag, but still asked curiously.

Zhang Shuisheng quickly opened the bag and said, "My benefactor, I am a tenant farmer in Zhangjia Village. I usually rent some rice fields to grow crops. This is the millet I grew myself. I handed over a portion to my landlord, and I still have a little left. I brought it to you, my benefactor. Although the amount is limited, it is a small token of my appreciation! Please accept it no matter what!"

"Millet?" This surprised Wang Xinyao. Rice was a precious commodity for farmers. Poor families couldn't bear to eat rice themselves, and most would sell it and exchange it for flour. Wang Xinyao had almost forgotten about Zhang Shuisheng, but he remembered this kindness so deeply. He truly knew how to be grateful!

"Brother Zhang, I wonder who is the owner of the rice field you rented?" Wang Xinyao asked curiously.

Zhang Shuisheng quickly bowed and said, "My benefactor, the manor we rented originally belonged to Mr. Wu of Ping'an Town. However, I heard that it has changed hands now, but I haven't seen the real thing yet!"

"Take the millet back and eat it yourself. I still have some food left at home. Also, tell me about the situation in Zhangjia Village!" Wang Xinyao couldn't help but feel happy.

Although Zhang Shuisheng was a little surprised by Wang Xinyao's question, he still explained it in detail. "My benefactor, our Zhangjia Village is the largest village in Ping'an Town, with a population of approximately 1800. Our livelihood mainly depends on helping others farm and grow rice! Although the total area of ​​the village is quite vast, most of it is mountainous forests and dry land, and each household has very little fertile land. However, Mr. Wu's farm is entirely fertile land, so everyone in our village contracts some of it from him!"

"Brother Zhang, have you ever been to school?" Zhang Shuisheng's answer was well-reasoned and clear-headed. Wang Xinyao couldn't help but ask again!

Zhang Shuisheng replied respectfully, "Your Excellency, when my father was alive, I studied for a few years!"

Wang Xinyao nodded slightly, the corner of her mouth raised slightly, and she said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, the manor of Mr. Wu's family is now mine. I am the new owner!"

"Benefactor, you are the new owner?" Zhang Shuisheng's face was filled with astonishment. Even the usually silent shopkeeper Wu couldn't help but stare at Wang Xinyao with wide eyes. You know, Mr. Wu was a rare figure in Ping'an Town. Even the mayor had to smile when he saw him!

"That's right, I am the new boss! Brother Zhang, let me ask you, if I hand over my estate to you to manage next year and ask you to help me find someone to plant all the rice, are you sure you can do it?" Wang Xinyao changed the subject, her expression instantly became serious, and asked solemnly!

Zhang Shuisheng thought for a moment, then replied decisively, "It's all at your benefactor's command. I will do my best!"

Wang Xinyao nodded with satisfaction, thinking to herself that she had never mentioned the issue of wages from the beginning to the end, but the other party agreed to it just because of this favor, which showed that his character was impeccable. In addition, this person had outstanding abilities, so Wang Xinyao was completely relieved to hand over the farm to him to grow rice!

"Brother Zhang, when you return home today, could you please inquire about purchasing some more farmland near my farm? As long as the price is reasonable, I'll accept anything under 500 mu, regardless of whether it's good quality or dry land." Wang Xinyao immediately instructed, "Once the land is purchased, we'll recruit some workers. For now, the wages will be 50 wen a day!"

"50 wen a day? That's so high? Let me thank you on behalf of everyone!" Zhang Shuisheng said ecstatically, "I'll go back and take care of buying the land right away!"

"Brother Zhang, you can call me Miss Wang from now on! Once the land deal is finalized, come find me in Xiejia Village!" Wang Xinyao said, pulling out a bag of silver from her pocket. "Here, this fifty taels is the down payment for the land. This will make it easier for you to negotiate with the village chief!"

"Okay, benefactor!" Zhang Shuisheng took the silver and said goodbye to Wang Xinyao and Manager Wu happily!

Wang Xinyao looked helpless, thinking, let him be her benefactor!

"Miss Wang, have you become rich?" Shopkeeper Wu said jokingly with a smile on his face!

Wang Xinyao quickly waved her hands and said coquettishly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Shopkeeper Wu!"

Shopkeeper Wu glanced at the two large bags Wang Xinyao was carrying, and then asked impatiently, "Miss, did you bring me something good this time? I've been looking forward to your visit every day!"

"I do have something. I need your expert, Shopkeeper Wu, to take a look!" Wang Xinyao poured out the herbs from two bags. "Please see, these herbs are quite old, and their quality is outstanding!"

"Very good, very good. The things Miss Wang brought are indeed first-rate!" Shopkeeper Wu smiled happily and nodded with satisfaction. He then called the waiter over to weigh them. "Miss Wang, I'll give you three hundred taels for these herbs. Is that okay with you?"
