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

Ma knocked on the door of Zhang Hulan's house, and Wang asked from inside, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Big Foot."

Wang opened the gate and saw Ma and a stranger standing outside. She asked, "Big Foot, what's going on?"

Ma smiled and said, "Aunt, there's a peddler in the village. He sells things cheaper than other places, so bring him here to see if you have anything you need to sell."

The peddler quickly said, "Hello, Auntie. I sell salt, soy sauce, and sugar. The prices are much cheaper than what you can buy in the city. What would you like to buy?"

Wang asked, "How much cheaper can it be?"

The peddler replied, "Salt is three cents cheaper per pound, and soy sauce is five cents cheaper per pound. Sugar is one cent a piece outside, but I'm selling it for two cents and three pieces here."

"What kind of candy is this?"

"maltose."

The peddler took out a piece of malt sugar from the basket and handed it to Wang. "Auntie, you can try it. It's very sweet."

Zhang Xiaobing, Zhang Xinyao and the others all ran out. Wang asked Zhang Xinyao and the others, "Do you want some candy?"

What child doesn’t like to eat candy? The three sisters and Zhang Xiaobing all nodded.

Wang said, "Give me five coins of sugar and a pound of salt."

Ma said, "Aunt, his salt is several coins cheaper. Why don't you buy more? Hulan uses a lot of salt every day anyway. Any savings are better."

Wang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have two pounds."

"Okay." The peddler immediately counted out fifteen pieces of malt sugar for Wang, and then weighed the salt.

Wang paid the money, and the peddler followed Ma to her home.

Ma said, "Is it time to weigh the salt for me now?"

The peddler smiled and nodded, "I'll weigh it for you right away."

As the peddler was weighing salt for Ma, he casually asked, "How's your braised meat business?"

Ma said, "Business seems to be good. We buy several pieces of pork every day."

"Then their family is quite capable." The peddler then asked Ma indirectly about the situation of Zhang Hulan's family and found out exactly how many people there were in the family.

The peddler weighed Ma's salt, collected the money, and left the village with his load on his shoulder.

After Zhang Hulan returned home at noon, Zhang Xinyue stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth.

Zhang Hulan asked in surprise, "Where did you get the candy?"

Zhang Xinyue said with a smile: "Grandma bought it."

Wang said, "A peddler came to the village this morning. He sold things cheaper than in the city, so I bought a pound of salt and a few pieces of candy for the children."

Zhang Hulan didn't care, as there were indeed peddlers coming to the village occasionally to sell things.

at night.

Everyone in the village has fallen asleep and the village is quiet.

Zhang Hulan also lay on the bed.

Zhang Xinyue ran to Zhang Hulan's room again, holding the little pillow, "Mom, I want to sleep with you."

Before Zhang Hulan could say anything, Zhang Xinyue had already climbed onto the bed.

Now each of the three sisters has her own room, but Zhang Xinyue still likes to sleep with Zhang Hulan.

Zhang Hulan wanted to foster her children's independence and let them sleep on their own, but Zhang Xinyue often came to her in the middle of the night.

Sometimes he would simply not go to his own room and would stay at Zhang Hulan's place.

Zhang Hulan really liked the feeling of being depended on by her child. She hugged Zhang Xinyue in her arms and patted her back gently. The mother and daughter slowly fell asleep.

At midnight, a figure sneaked into the village.

The figure stopped at the door of Zhang Hulan's house and stood quietly for a moment, as if listening to the movements in the house.

After making sure that there was no one around, he gently pushed the gate, but it was closed.

The man took out a dagger from his bosom and began to carefully pry the bolt of the courtyard gate.

With a slight click, the latch was pried open, and a figure gently pushed the door open and tiptoed into the yard.

The yard was pitch black, with only the faint moonlight shining through, allowing one to barely make out the surrounding outlines.

The figure quietly approached the house, put his ear to the door, and confirmed again whether the person in the house was still asleep.

The man was very cautious and didn't make any noise.

But in the darkness, a pair of eyes were watching the figure's every move.

Just as the man was about to use the dagger to push the bolt of the door again, a black shadow suddenly flew down from under the eaves and grabbed the man's face with a claw.

"what……"

A scream broke the silence.

Zhang Hulan suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.

Zhang Xinyao, Zhang Xinyue and Shanzi were all awakened, only Zhang Xinyue was still sleeping soundly.

Zhang Hulan didn't dare to turn on the light. She got out of bed in the dark and walked to the door with a chair in her hand.

Outside the house, a figure covered his face with one hand and waved a dagger in front of him with the other.

He didn't see anyone just now, he only saw a black shadow flying past him.

"what……"

Suddenly there was another scream, and the night flew over the man's head, and the man's head was grabbed again.

"mother……"

Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi ran to Zhang Hulan's room, and Shanzi also came over. The children were all a little scared.

Zhang Hulan pushed the children to the bedside and asked them to stay there and not move, then she carried a chair and walked into the main room.

She lay on the main door and looked out through the crack.

She vaguely saw a figure running out in panic, one hand waving wildly.

Zhang Hulan also vaguely saw a bird flying above the man's head.

Zhang Hulan opened the door and rushed out.

The man didn't even bother to look back, he just kept running out.

Zhang Hulan threw the chair towards the man's legs.

The chair hit the man's legs and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Zhang Hulan picked up a piece of firewood from under the eaves and walked forward quickly. Before the man could get up from the ground, she grabbed his legs and smashed them down hard.

Another scream.

Zhang Hulan didn't stop, she wanted to kill him while he was still weak. Killing him was impossible, but she definitely wanted to make sure that man couldn't stand up.

Zhang Hulan hit the man's legs several more times with a firewood stick until he begged for mercy.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me..." The man kept wailing on the ground.

There was a lot of noise here, and Liu Yonggui and Ma next door were woken up.

Liu Yonggui put on his clothes and ran out, shouting outside the yard, "Zhang's sister, what's going on?"

Zhang Hulan had already retreated to the side at this time, not daring to approach the man, fearing that he would cheat.

"Brother Yonggui, there's a thief in my house."

Liu Yonggui rushed into the yard and saw a person lying on the ground, curled up and wailing in the moonlight.

Zhang Hulan handed the firewood stick to Liu Yonggui, "Brother Yonggui, take this. If he dares to move, hit him. I'll go light the lamp."

Liu Yonggui took the stick and stared at the person on the ground vigilantly.

Zhang Hulan ran into the house, lit the oil lamp and came out to see who was trying to break into her house and steal things.
