After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Zhang Hulan found Luo Changqi and Yuan Gang and told them what happened. Yuan Gang said, "Let Old Luo accompany Zhao Lizheng to the Hu family to buy bricks. He's more careful. I'm a rough man, so I'll accompany my niece around the village."

Zhang Hulan nodded. "Then I'll trouble Uncle Luo and Uncle Yuan to make the trip."

Luo Changqi said, "Why are you so polite, niece? We old guys are living and eating here, so it's only natural for us to run errands for you. You must not be so polite in the future, otherwise we will feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, I won't be polite to you uncles from now on."

Afterwards, Luo Changqi and Zhao Guoliang drove a donkey cart to Baoping Village, while Zhang Hulan and Yuan Gang followed behind in a separate donkey cart.

The Hu family has opened more than twenty kiln factories. In order to obtain mud, many large pits were dug in some places in Baoping Village.

Luo Changqi and Zhao Guoliang arrived at the Hujia Kiln Factory. Hu Haiming greeted them warmly, "Hey, Village Chief Zhao is here to buy bricks! Is Village Chief Zhao planning to build a new house?"

Zhao Guoliang said: "It's not my family who built the house, I bought it for someone else."

Hu Haiming asked, "Could it be that Zhao Lizheng bought this for Zhang Hulan from your village?"

Zhao Guoliang nodded, "Yes."

Hu Haiming slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, so you bought it for Hu Lan!

Hi! We're going to Zhang's this afternoon. If we get the job done, what else do we need to buy?

When the time comes, we'll just take as much as Hulan wants, and there's no need to negotiate the price."

Zhao Guoliang was a little stunned. Does Hu Haiming call Hu Lan so familiarly?

Moreover, the Hu family is proposing a marriage with Zhang Hujun's daughter. How can the Hu family be so generous? If it goes through, Zhang Hulan won't even have to pay for the bricks used to build the house?

Not only was Zhao Guoliang a little stunned, Luo Changqi was also a little stunned.

At this time, Hu Haiming shouted towards the several houses in the kiln factory: "Sanlang, come out quickly..."

Hu Sanlang quickly came out of the house and walked over to this side and asked, "Dad, what's going on?"

Hu Haiming pointed at Zhao Guoliang and said, "This is Zhao Lizheng from Daping Village. Zhao Lizheng is here to help Hu Lan buy bricks to build a house."

Hu Sanlang's eyes lit up, and he immediately saluted Zhao Guoliang and said, "Greetings, Chief Zhao."

Just as Zhao Guoliang was about to speak, Hu Sanlang spoke again, "Zhao Lizheng, isn't Sister Zhang here?"

"Sister Zhang?"

Zhao Guoliang and Luo Changqi were both stunned again.

Isn't this the wrong generation?

If Hu Sanlang and Zhang Dahahua really got together, Hu Sanlang should call Zhang Hulangu.

Even if it hasn't happened yet, shouldn't I call her Sister Zhang?

Hu Haiming then said, "Zhao Lizheng, you guys go back first. We'll go to Zhang's house this afternoon and talk about buying bricks later."

Zhao Guoliang and Luo Changqi left the Hujia Kiln Factory in a daze. Both of them felt that something was not right.

As for Zhang Hulan, she went to the village to ask the villagers about the situation of the Hu family.

At this time, I was chatting with a village woman, and the village woman said, "Miss, are you asking about Sanlang?"

"Oh, Sanlang is a good boy. He has a good temper and I've never seen him get angry with anyone."

"He is kind to everyone. He helps anyone who asks him for help."

"My son works in the kiln at his house, earning 18 wen a day, which means he can make quite a bit of money in a month."

"Sanlang also promised my son that if he builds a house in the future, he will sell his bricks to him at half the price..."

Zhang Hulan asked several villagers, and they all said that the Hu family was good, especially Hu Sanlang, who was a great person.

Hu Sanlang is the most capable scholar in the village. He is humble, polite and helpful. Everyone in the village speaks highly of him.

Zhang Hulan never believed that there was a perfect person in this world, everyone has shortcomings.

Besides, Hu Sanlang is not perfect either. He only pays his workers 18 cents a day, and it's the hard work of firing a kiln.

Especially in the summer, it's so hot that it kills people. Only paying 18 wen a day, isn't this sucking the blood of the villagers?

Judging from this point of view, the Hu family is not a kind-hearted people. Zhang Hulan didn't know why these villagers were all praising the Hu family.

Zhao Guoliang and Luo Changqi quickly came over. Zhang Hulan asked in surprise, "Uncle Village Chief, how did you guys come to an agreement so quickly?"

Zhao Guoliang said, "Hu Lan, we feel like something is not right."

Zhang Hulan asked, "What's wrong?"

"I said I was here to buy bricks for you, and then Hu Haiming asked us to go back, saying they would go to your house in the afternoon and we could talk about buying bricks later.

Hu Haiming also said, if you are born, you can pull as many bricks as you want, without asking for money.

Zhao Guoliang paused, then continued, "We also met Hu Sanlang, and he called you Sister Zhang. Isn't this generational relationship a bit wrong?"

Zhang Hulan felt that something was not right. Luo Changqi asked, "Niece, have you found out anything?"

Zhang Hulan shook her head. "There's no useful information. The villagers nearby are all from the Hu family, and Hu Sanlang is very kind. Anyway, I think there's something wrong."

"Should we ask around again or go back?" Luo Changqi asked.

"Let's go back. I don't think we can find out anything. Aren't they going to my dad's house this afternoon? I'll see what they say then."

Zhao Guoliang asked Zhang Hulan, "So should we put the brick purchase on hold for now?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Uncle Village Chief, if that doesn't work, we can go buy bricks from another brick kiln. Are there any brick kilns in other villages?"

"There are no brick kilns in the nearby villages. They are far away. The distance is too far, and I guess I'll have to pay extra for delivery."

Zhang Hulan said, "It's OK, as long as you don't add too much."

Zhao Guoliang nodded and said, "Then I'll go to other brick kilns this afternoon."

On the way back, Zhang Hulan and her friends met a matchmaker who was walking towards Baoping Village with her hips twisting.

Zhang Hulan was in Old Man Zhang's donkey cart, so the matchmaker didn't see her.

When the matchmaker saw Zhao Guoliang, she greeted him, "Hey, where has Zhao Lizheng gone?"

Zhao Guoliang said, "I went to Baoping Village to buy bricks."

The matchmaker immediately cried out again, "Oh, if I had known that Zhao Lizheng was going to Baoping Village, I would have followed him and saved me the trouble of walking for so long."

The matchmaker's eyes rolled around, and she said coquettishly, "Zhao Lizheng, your donkey cart is fast. How about taking me back to Baoping Village and I'll treat you to tea?"

Zhao Guoliang glanced at the matchmaker and said, "I have a lot of things to do. You'd better take your time."

After Zhao Guoliang finished speaking, he cracked the whip and the donkey spread its four legs and ran forward.

After running a distance, Zhang Hulan lifted the carriage curtain and said to Zhao Guoliang, "Uncle Head, that matchmaker is flirting with you, why don't you understand?"

Zhao Guoliang glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If your Aunt Zhou hears it, I don't know what kind of quarrel she will have with me."

Zhang Hulan covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, "Don't worry, Uncle Village Chief, I promise I won't tell Aunt Zhou."

When they got home, Wang and Li both eagerly asked Zhang Hulan what she had found out.

Zhang Hulan told the two what she had found out, and Wang and Li were also undecided.

Zhang Hulan said, "Let's wait until they arrive this afternoon."
