Travel through ancient times and become a great hero

Charlotte watched them leave and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle village chief, I'll call the village head and your aunt later. Come to my house for dinner tonight. We've been busy all day, so let's celebrate."

"Don't be polite, Third Brother's wife. We finally managed to get some meat. Eat it at home. If you can't finish it, sell it and get some money to build a house. At least you have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

The village chief thought that it was not easy for a woman. Her husband was not at home and her mother-in-law bullied her. He would help her as much as he could. After all, she was a member of the village.

"Uncle, I asked the village head to come over to discuss building a house with you."

"Okay then. I'll go get your aunt to help you."

"Uncle, come, take this meat home and let the children satisfy their cravings." Charlotte cut six pounds of meat for the village chief.

"You took too much, just give me two kilograms, like them."

"Uncle, you have a big family, if you give each family a share, there won't be much left." The village chief has two sons and one daughter. The sons are married, but the daughter is still unmarried.

"You're so polite, kid. I'll take it then." The village chief went home happily.

Xia Luo asked Zimo to ask Zhuzi's mother for help. She also went to the headman's house to look after the house.

I cut three pounds of meat and carried it in a backpack to prevent anyone from being jealous. The village head lived three houses to the west of Lao Han's house. So I passed by Lao Han's house.

Many people were gossiping under the big locust tree. When they saw Charlotte coming over here, they thought she was going to deliver meat to Old Han's house.

"Zhang Lan, go home quickly and tell your mother-in-law that the third daughter-in-law is here."

"Look, he brought a lot of meat, carrying a basket on his back."

"Maybe he regretted divorcing the third brother, so he came to apologize."

Charlotte heard them mumbling under the tree. She didn't even look at them. She just walked past them.

Besides, when Zhang Lan went home and told old Mrs. Han about it, Mrs. Han sat cross-legged on a chair in the main room without moving. She thought, let's see what you can do, and now it's coming. The arm can't twist the thigh. When you come, I want you to kneel down and apologize.

Zhang Lan waited at the door for a while, and seeing no movement, she opened the door and looked out. As a result, she saw a figure walking straight past her door without even glancing at her.

Watching her walk into the village head's house.

The people under the big locust tree couldn't understand it.

What's going on? Aren't you here to deliver meat to my mother-in-law's house? Why are you going to the village head's house?

Seeing that the door of the village chief's house was open, Charlotte pushed the door open and asked, "Is the village chief home?"

The village head is 66 years old this year. He used to be a student. He is responsible for maintaining public security, household registration, and maintaining order in the village. He is serious and principled in his work. His prestige is still very high.

"It's the third son's wife, right?" A woman was washing clothes. She shook her hands and called out, "Dad, the third son's wife is here."

"Come in." Li was half lying in the room, coughing and saying.

"Grandpa Village Head, are you feeling unwell?" Whenever Charlotte saw someone coughing, she would think of the pills made from cypress leaves, but she didn't have time to pick them today.

"It's an old problem. I've taken a lot of medicine but it doesn't get better. I'm old now and it's no longer effective."

"I have a master who lives in the mountains. He has studied your disease. I will go to the mountains to look for him in a few days to see if he has any special medicine. If he does, I will bring it down for you."

"That's great." When the village head heard this, he thought that this child was not simple and he also had a master.

"Does your master often go to the mountain?" He thought that if he did, he could go there. It would be better to see him in person.

"My master likes to travel, so who knows where he is. I'll tell you when I get the chance." Charlotte lied, but he had to make it up. There was no way, and he couldn't say that he understood it in his previous life.

"Okay, thank you for your help. What's the matter with you today?"

"Grandpa Village Head, I picked up a wild boar. Bring it here to satisfy the adults and children's cravings." Charlotte handed the meat to the woman following behind.

"There's one more thing I want to ask the village head for help. The village chief will come to my house soon. Can we have dinner together and talk about it after we get there?"

When the village head heard this, he realized that the child had given him so much meat and also wanted to ask her master to help him cure his illness, so he had to repay the favor.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll wait for the old lady to come back, then I'll go over."

"Grandpa, bring grandma along. Let's have some fun."

"She won't go. There are still children at home who haven't come back yet and she needs to cook for them."

"Okay, wait until you've finished eating and bring some back for them." Charlotte said generously.

When Charlotte returned home, she saw Zhuzi's mother was boiling water. Aunt Zhang was also busy.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for troubling you again. When the meal is ready, bring it back to Brother Zhuzi and the children. You don't have to rush back to cook for them."

"Our dinner is simple, Sister Zhuzi can make it."

Charlotte hung the pig's head on the beam and washed the pig in the river. Then she covered all the meat with a piece of cloth to prevent flies from biting. She put half of it back into the space. There was too much. She thought about making braised meat, smoked bacon, braised pork, dried meat, etc.

When it was almost time for dinner, Charlotte prepared a braised meat dish, braised large intestine, a braised pork dish, and stewed pork ribs with yam. There was no chance to eat pheasant tonight. It was all meat, and a stir-fried vegetable. White rice was cooked. There was meat, vegetables, and soup. But no wine.

The village chief came over at this time and brought half a bottle of white wine.

The village chief called the head of the village "Big Brother". After years of cooperation, they had a good understanding. But they seldom drank together. The head of the village was in poor health and did not dare to drink too much.

"The dish cooked by the third son's wife is as good as that of a restaurant chef." The village chief has seen a lot of the world.

"Third brother's wife, call us over and talk if you have anything to say." The headman said while eating braised pork and taking a sip of wine.

"I have been collecting herbs these days and have made some money from selling them. Tomorrow I will go to the restaurant and sell these porks when I have time. I am thinking that after autumn, winter will come soon. I want to earn enough money as soon as possible to build a house. I am afraid that the children will freeze to death in this thatched house in winter."

"I made these dishes for you to judge. Can I sell braised meat in town?"

"Okay, you can do it yourself. I'm afraid it will be too hard." The head of the village felt a little sorry for Charlotte.

"If it doesn't work, find a helper so that it will be easier for you," said the village chief.

"Mother Zhuzi, can you come and help me? I won't use you for nothing. I'll give you fifty coins a day." Charlotte wanted Mother Zhuzi to come and help, so that she could solve her family's financial situation. She could also help take care of the two children. Fifty coins is not much.

"I can help you too." said the village chief's wife.

"I'll help you make braised meat at home, and let Zhuzi's mother help you in town." Aunt Zhang said sincerely.

"That's great. Aunt Zhang is also fifty cents. When business is good, I'll give you more money.

"That's settled then. When you've earned enough money, we'll discuss building a house. The village chief and I will keep an eye on the homestead for you." The head of the village made the decision.

"But for now, let's not publicize the matter of building a house. If my mother-in-law finds out, she'll make a fuss again." Xia Luo wasn't afraid of Granny Han, she just thought she was too annoying.

"Okay, let's talk about it after the homestead is decided." The village chief drank the last sip of wine, stood up and prepared to go back.

Charlotte brought a bowl of braised meat to each family so that they could taste it.

There are still more than 30 kilograms of braised meat in the pot. Xia Luo made an appointment with Zhuzi's mother to go to the town tomorrow morning and asked Aunt Zhang to come and accompany the children.
