I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

Jiang Qinyu didn't expect that everyone would talk about starting a school in the village instead of composting.

But she is not a professional teacher. She is good at teaching people to read, but it is better not to expect anything else from her.

Seeing that everyone's discussion was getting more and more heated, Jiang Qinyu quickly said, "Everyone, listen to me. If you just want to learn to read, I can teach you, but if you want to learn something else... then I really can't do anything about it."

People in this era studied for the purpose of taking the imperial examinations, but she didn't have that ability.

"Then teach them to read first," Village Chief Li said with a cheerful laugh. "But it's still early, let's take care of the farm work first."

Grandpa Jiang also said, "That's right. Tomorrow, girl, you will take the people into the mountains to find something that can be used as fertilizer. The rest of you should quickly plow the land in the village. We must strive to start the autumn planting as soon as possible."

"Uncle, let me do this job. Yu girl still has to take care of diverting the water from the underground river, and she can't get away." Old man Lu suddenly said.

He understood everything Jiang Qinyu said and knew how to identify which dead branches and leaves could be used as fertilizer. Moreover, he had been farming for so many years that he naturally knew which soil was fertile.

"Grandpa, my dad is right. Fertilizing compost should be done by experienced people like you. I've only read about it in books and have never actually done it." Jiang Qinyu quickly expressed her attitude.

Village Chief Li also chimed in, "My niece wants to make that thing that can blast a hole in the ground, so she really can't go back to the mountains. Uncle Jiang, I'll arrange for someone to do it. Don't worry, it won't delay the fertilizing of the fields."

"Okay, just take your time, crops must be the first priority." Grandpa Jiang emphasized.

Everyone agreed, and the matter was settled.

Wang Bo had been watching Jiang Qinyu in the crowd, watching her talk to the villagers. Her words were simple and easy to understand, much better than the obscure words in the books.

He really likes this woman more and more.

What Wang Bo didn't know was that Mrs. Wang had also been looking at him, and her gaze followed his as she locked onto Jiang Qinyu.

It was indeed that woman!

No, she had to solve this problem as soon as possible and couldn't let Xiaobo continue like this.

Jiang Qinyu noticed someone was looking at her, and her eyes turned, just in time to meet Wang Po's gaze, which she had no time to look away from.

There was contempt, disgust, and fear in that look.

Jiang Qinyu raised her eyebrows, wondering why Mrs. Wang was looking at her like that?

After discussing the composting, it was decided that Jiang Qinyu would spend one hour every day teaching the villagers to read after winter. Village Chief Li then asked someone to deliver the gunpowder-making materials collected today to Jiang Qinyu's home.

"Niece, why don't you find a few people to help you?" Village Chief Li asked sincerely.

Jiang Qinyu shook her head and looked at him seriously. "Uncle Village Chief, it's not that I'm hiding something and don't want to teach others how to make this. It's just that this thing is very dangerous. If you're not careful, something bad will happen. If I have the chance in the future, I can teach everyone in detail, but not now."

The production of gunpowder cannot be taught to anyone casually. This is to protect others and also to protect Jiang Qinyu herself.

Especially since the villagers are not yet completely united, it is better to keep this kind of thing in one's own hands.

"Well, since you have this consideration, just pretend I didn't say anything. It will be hard work for you." Village Chief Li waved his hand and didn't care.

He didn't think too much about it, he was just worried that Jiang Qinyu would be tired.

Jiang Qinyu waited for the delivery person to leave, closed the gate, and planned to start dealing with these things tonight.

Shufan and Pan'er brought stools and sat beside Jiang Qinyu, watching her do it and occasionally helping out a little.

For safety reasons, Jiang Qinyu said to the two of them while doing this: "You must remember that without your aunt by your side, you must never touch these three things by yourself."

"Yes! We'll listen to our aunt." The two said in unison.

Jiang Qinyu smiled and continued working.

While they were working hard to ensure that the villagers could water their fields smoothly, on the other hand, Mrs. Wang ran to Chen Shao's house where Liu Ruyi was staying with a bunch of things in a grand manner.

Aunt Qin frowned as she looked at the things that Mrs. Wang was carrying. "Old Wang, what are you making a fuss about again? Isn't that incident in the past? Miss Liu doesn't care about it anymore. You don't need to apologize."

"Who said I came here to apologize?" Mrs. Wang raised her chin, looked towards the Chen family's courtyard, and deliberately raised her voice, "I came here to propose marriage!"

Even Jiang Qinyu heard this shout, not to mention the villagers passing by Chen's house.

When everyone heard that Mrs. Wang was coming to propose marriage, they immediately surrounded her.

"Old Wang, what's going on? Are you interested in the Chen family's daughter?"

"Oh, please don't embarrass me. The daughter of the Chen family is almost ten years younger than your Wang Bo. You are being too rude."

"That's right, Aunt Qin will definitely not agree. You'd better go back quickly, otherwise you will be beaten out later."

"..."

Everyone was talking at once, and although they were joking, it made Mrs. Wang feel particularly embarrassed. She put her hands on her hips and glared at the onlookers, shouting, "Who said I'm here to propose marriage to the daughter of the Chen family? I'm here to propose marriage to Miss Liu on behalf of my son Xiaobo!"

"What? So you're planning on hitting on Miss Liu?"

"Oh my, the Wang family is crazy about getting rich, right? Miss Liu is from the capital, how could she be interested in someone from our village?"

"you do not say……"

Everyone started talking again, and Mrs. Wang angrily interrupted them, "What are you talking about? Don't you know that my Xiaobo saved Miss Liu's life? I'm repaying you with my life, don't you know?"

"Oh my, you're dreaming, aren't you, Mrs. Wang? You saved someone's life and you want her to marry your son? Don't you even consider whether your family is a good match?"

"That's right. I think Miss Liu and your Wang Bo are not a good match at all. You'd better stop making trouble, lest you ruin the girl's reputation..."

Mrs. Wang was so embarrassed by what she said that she shouted even louder towards the Chen family's courtyard, "Miss Liu, I'm here today with all sincerity to propose marriage on behalf of my son Xiaobo. You're a sensible girl, and you certainly wouldn't want anyone to ruin your reputation outside, right?"

Aunt Qin originally thought that Wang Po was here to disgust her, and was about to fight with her, but she didn't expect that Wang Po was here to propose marriage to Liu Ruyi, so she would have a hard time dealing with her.

In a side room of the Chen family, Liu Ruyi sat in front of a simple little table, biting her lips tightly, with slightly red eyes.

At this moment, she deeply understood the meaning of the saying "A tiger in the plain is bullied by dogs, and a dragon in shallow water is bullied by shrimps."

She admitted that Wang Bo had indeed saved her life, and there was even a time when she considered whether or not to follow Wang Bo.

But after getting to know each other, she found that Wang Bo was not as polite and simple-minded as he appeared to be.

On the contrary, everything Wang Bo does must have his purpose.

But Wang Bo's background is too low, how could she possibly marry such a man?
