Jiang Qinyu quickly stood up and answered while quickly going out to open the door, "I'm here, Uncle Village Chief."

"Hey, are you still eating? I'll come back later." Village chief Li quickly took a step back.

Jiang Qinyu smiled and said, "We've finished eating. Uncle Village Chief, please come in and sit down."

Her yard was not big, and there was no special room for receiving guests. Jiang Qinyu had previously obtained a stone table and stone bench from Old Man Lu, so that there would be a place to sit when someone came.

The courtyard door opened, and Village Chief Li and Jiang Qinyu were sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.

"Niece, Lu Yancai and his wife just came to see me..." Village Chief Li briefly explained what happened, then said, "Although I didn't give them any things, this is indeed a problem. What do you think about this matter?"

Jiang Qinyu pondered for a moment and said, "The situation in the village was indeed not good before. We have a lot of things now, but everyone's work points are not much, so it's not suitable to distribute them all."

She pondered for a moment and continued, "Let's put it this way. We originally planned to distribute supplies three months later. In order to help those who are truly in need, we can adopt a work point estimation system."

"Work point estimate?" Village chief Li was a little confused.

Jiang Qinyu nodded. "Based on everyone's current work points, we'll calculate the total work points for the entire village three months from now. Then, we'll estimate the value of our collective supplies and add the cash we have to figure out how much each work point is worth. This way, those families in need can use their earned work points to exchange for some supplies to tide them over."

"Oh my! Your idea is great!" Village Chief Li stood up excitedly, "I'll go talk to Grandpa Jiang and the others right away. If they agree, we'll do it this way from now on!"

Jiang Qinyu also stood up and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Village Chief."

"Why should I work so hard? You were the one who came up with the idea, and you're the one who's working hard. I'm just running errands." Village Chief Li waved his hand and walked out. "You should also pack up and get some rest. We'll have a meeting at the ancestral hall tomorrow to take stock of the things you brought back."

Jiang Qinyu smiled and said, "Then let's call everyone over as soon as possible. We are all members of the village, and they have the right to know what we have in our hands."

"That's right. I'll go and inform everyone later." Village chief Li waved his hand and walked away quickly.

Jiang Qinyu turned around and saw Shufan and Pan'er coming out of the kitchen, standing at the door of the room looking at her obediently.

"Did you two go wash the dishes?" Jiang Qinyu asked with a complicated expression when she saw the soot on the two people's bodies.

Shu Fan said nonchalantly, "It's been washed. Auntie, do you want to go and see if it's clean?"

They used to help with chores at the Lu family, and they had already learned simple tasks like washing dishes.

It’s just that they are young and need to stand on a stool to do it.

Jiang Qinyu also thought of her original body's memories. The two children were indeed able to do some housework at a young age. For example, during the days when she was away, they were the ones who cleaned the yard and the house.

Jiang Qinyu walked over and hugged the two of them in her arms, "Shufan and Pan'er are great, but no matter what you do in the future, you must be careful not to get hurt, understand?"

In the original body's memory, when Shufan and Pan'er were scolded by Ma for the first time to wash dishes, they broke the dishes, cut their hands, and were beaten and scolded by Ma.

"Yeah!" The two nodded obediently.

……

The next day, as soon as the sun came out, the people of Dingshui Village had already gathered in the ancestral hall.

Wang Po's family and people from the Ma and Deng families were also watching the fun outside the ancestral hall.

"Tsk, it's just such a small thing, and you still called everyone here, what's there to brag about?" Mrs. Wang muttered with some disdain.

Wang Bo immediately tugged at her sleeve and said, "Mom, please stop talking."

"Brother Wang," a gentle and graceful voice sounded behind Wang Bo and his mother, "What are the villagers doing?"

Wang Bo turned around with a smile on his face, "Miss Liu, why don't you sleep a little longer? Nothing much, I heard they were taking inventory of the village's shared supplies."

Liu Ruyi said with a faint smile on her face: "I didn't see you when I got up, so I followed you to check."

"Then stand here. You can see clearly from here." Wang Bo moved aside to let her go to the front.

Liu Ruyi did not refuse, but stood quietly and looked forward.

"Hello, hello..." A crackling sound of electricity came, and everyone in the village heard the voice of Village Chief Li.

Village Chief Li was also startled by his own voice. He turned his head to look at Jiang Qinyu and said, "Niece, this thing is too loud, isn't it?"

"This way everyone can hear clearly." Jiang Qinyu said calmly.

This is the loudspeaker she took out of the supermarket. I don’t know who put it on the sample bed in the daily necessities area. It is a rechargeable model and can be charged in the supermarket.

Village chief Li looked at the loudspeaker several times, but he couldn't figure out why the sound was so loud. The sound produced by the paper tube they usually used was not that loud!

"Uncle, let's talk about business first." Jiang Qinyu reminded.

Village Chief Li then gave up his research and quickly picked up the megaphone and continued, "Is everyone here?"

"arrive!"

"Village Chief, what's that thing in your hand? How can it make such a loud noise?"

"Yes, yes, we've never met before!"

Village Chief Li glared at the person who asked the question. "You've seen it now, haven't you? What's the fuss? These are all bought by A Zheng's wife from outside. They are her own things. What's wrong with me borrowing them?"

"Oh, so you bought it. Okay, okay, Village Chief, please continue. What do we have now?"

Village Chief Li was holding a list in his hand, which was the income and expenditure list of Jiang Qinyu and his friends during their outing.

Every single transaction was recorded in great detail, including the silver coins given to the gatekeepers in Yukang Prefecture and the silver given to the innkeepers in Litian County in order to get rid of the One-Eyed King and his gang.

"Let me first read out to everyone what money Lao Meng and his friends spent on this trip..." Village Chief Li quickly finished reading out the expenses of Jiang Qinyu and his friends.

Apart from accommodation and food and drink, the only money spent is on building relationships, which is completely reasonable.

When he finished, someone in the audience couldn't help but yell, "Village Chief, just tell us how much stuff we have now!"

Village Chief Li was speechless, but it was indeed time to speak.

So, when the people of Dingshui Village heard how much silver Jiang Qinyu and his team had earned from selling the prey and how much they had bought with the silver, they were collectively petrified.

"Xiaobo, are they still asleep? How can they sell it for more than a thousand taels of silver? And where did those eight hundred horses come from?" Mrs. Wang stared blankly at the front. Jiang Qinyu was already directing people to display the things.

Wang Bo looked at Jiang Qinyu with complicated eyes. He confirmed one thing from these people.

Lu Yanzheng's wife, who hasn't even gotten married yet, is an extremely powerful woman.
