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

"You also know that it was Xiaobing's aunt who told the head of the village. What does that have to do with you? If they want to give it, they will give it to Danier." Wang looked at Xiang Chunhua coldly, "Don't forget, our family has split up now."

"Mom, why are you all favoring Zhang Hulan now?" Zhang Hubing said very unhappily.

"We favor her?" Wang snorted, "Then think about why we favor her."

"It was your sister who persuaded your father to see a doctor. The herbs used to bandage your father's leg were dug by your sister in the mountains. There was no food at home, so your sister bought a lot of food for us without saying a word. Where are you? What have you done for the family?"

"I..." Zhang Hubing was speechless after being scolded by Wang, and could only mutter: "It was Dad who didn't go to see a doctor..."

Wang didn't want to bother with the second couple now. She asked Zhang Dahua to help Li into the house and then started to cook lunch.

In the past, they only had two meals a day, but Zhang Hulan said that Li needed to eat three meals during her pregnancy, and the growing children could not go hungry, so the Zhang family now has three meals a day.

In the afternoon, Wang asked Zhang Hujun to go up the mountain and let him fix the unfinished stove by himself.

Wang now dislikes Zhang Hubing and his wife more and more.

No matter how much I dislike him, he is still my son after all.

Wang said, "Second son's wife, let him build the stove at home this afternoon, and you can go up the mountain to work with him, so that you can get a share of the food."

Unexpectedly, Xiang Chunhua said, "Mom, I have a headache today, so I won't go. I'll wait for Xiaobing's father to go tomorrow."

When Zhang Hubing heard Xiang Chunhua complain about a headache, he immediately asked with concern, "Wife, why does your head hurt? Did you get a heat stroke?"

Xiang Chunhua pinched Zhang Hubing's arm and said, "I told you to come back in the afternoon when the sun is setting. You insisted on coming back at this time, under the scorching sun. How could you not get a heat stroke?"

"What should we do? Come on, I'll take you to see a doctor."

Xiang Chunhua said, "No need to see a doctor, I just need to rest. Call me when you've cooked."

"Okay, okay, then go inside and rest."

Zhang Hubing's love for his wife made Wang feel heartbroken again.

She was too lazy to care and let the couple do whatever they wanted.

In the evening, Zhang Hulan returned. The others came back a little later, but all of them returned with smiles on their faces.

Today they each visited two villages and found food for those villages.

The villagers of Daping Village harvested a lot today. In addition to kudzu root, they also dug a lot of Jerusalem artichokes.

Today, each family received more than ten or twenty kilograms of food, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.

……

Four days later, Zhang Hulan's mission was complete. They visited two villages a day, and it took them five days to complete their tour of all the villages in Changning County.

The situation in some villages near the river is not bad. The villagers have enough water for daily life and the crops in the fields are still safe. However, the villagers have to work very hard and fetch water from the river in buckets every day.

The situation in some mountain villages was particularly dire. In several villages, most of the people had left, leaving only a few elderly people behind.

Fortunately, after a few days, the yamen runners had recorded the conditions of the villages they passed by. Two days ago, officials from the Ministry of Works of the imperial court went to the villages where water supply was very scarce to survey the geographical location and start digging wells.

However, the relief grain from the imperial court had not yet arrived, and all the people in Changning County were hoping that the life-saving grain would arrive soon. They also hoped that God would rain soon.

Zhang Hulan and his team completed their mission, and found some edible food in every village.

Wu Deyong paid them their wages readily, giving each of them 600 coins.

Everyone who received the money was very happy. Shanzi gave the six hundred coins to He Shi and said excitedly, "Grandma, this is the money I earned!"

Mrs. He was also very happy. "Good, good, my grandson has grown up and can earn money on his own!"

Although six hundred coins are not a lot, they can buy more than ten dou of brown rice, which can feed the grandparents and grandchildren for a long time.

He took out a hundred coins and walked over to Zhang Hulan, saying, "Hulan, this hundred coins is for you as a token of our gratitude. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be in my grave. And now it's you who's helping Shanzi and making him money."

Zhang Hulan quickly said, "Aunt He, you're being too polite. Shanzi earned his money through hard work. I don't want this money. Please keep it and buy some food."

"Hu Lan, if you don't accept it, how can I feel at ease?"

"Aunt He, we are all from the same village. Of course I will help if I can. If there is something I cannot help with, I can't help even if I want to."

Zhang Hulan said she didn't want He's money at all, so He had to give up.

The yamen runners paid everyone else's wages first, and then paid Zhang Hulan's last.

"Your wages were six taels of silver, and the magistrate gave you an additional thirty taels. That makes a total of thirty-six taels of silver. Count them."

"Thirty-six taels of silver?"

The villagers all looked at Zhang Hulan with envy. Most families in the village probably never had more than thirty-six taels of silver in their entire lives.

"Oh my god! How can I spend so much money?"

"The Zhang family is now rich. If we use all the money to buy food, how much will it cost?"

Many villagers were envious of the huge sum of money.

Xiang Chunhua's eyes widened. It would be great if so much money was hers.

She regrets it now. If the family had not been divided, they would definitely have had a share of the money.

Zhang Hulan was also happy. With more than thirty taels of silver, she could build her own house right away.

Spend a few taels of silver to build a few adobe houses first, and then build a big yard when you make money later.

Zhang Hulan took out two taels of silver and handed it to the yamen runner who delivered the money. This was also the yamen runner who had followed Zhang Hulan to various villages in the past few days.

Zhang Hulan said, "Brother officer, use this little money to buy some wine. You've worked hard these days."

The yamen runner waved his hand, "No, no."

Zhang Hulan stuffed the silver into the yamen runner's hand and said, "Hey, take it. This is a small gift from me. Don't think it's too little."

The yamen runner declined for a moment before accepting the silver. He said, "Thank you very much. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to the yamen to find me."

This is exactly what Zhang Hulan wanted. It's easier to be an official if you have connections in the court, and easier to get things done if you have connections in the government.

She planned to do business in the county town in the future, and having connections with people in the government office would only benefit her.

Xiang Chunhua was heartbroken when she saw Zhang Hulan give two taels of silver to the yamen runner. Why give it to others? It would be better to give it to yourself.

After the yamen runners left, the villagers went home.

As soon as Zhang Hulan returned home, she said to Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Wang, "Dad, Mom, I won't give you this money for now. I plan to build a few houses first. I also plan to do some small business in the future, so I need to save some capital."
