Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!

Knowing that Shen Rong was just putting on an act, Jiang Chuyue was too lazy to watch him continue the act, so she lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear, "I'm going up the mountain tomorrow."

"There is a lot of snow on the mountain now. It is not safe to go up the mountain now. Why not wait until the snow stops before going up the mountain?" Xiao Yihao's face was slightly gloomy. There was a lot of snow on the mountain. If something happened, it would be very dangerous.

"I have important things to do and will be back soon." Jiang Chuyue will not easily change her mind.

"Since you have made up your mind, why bother asking me?" Xiao Yihao raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Chuyue. He was a little angry because she didn't listen to his advice.

"Of course I want to ask, do you want to go up the mountain with me?" Jiang Chuyue suddenly asked this question, which made Xiao Yihao curious.

Turning back and meeting Jiang Chuyue's calm eyes, Xiao Yihao couldn't figure out what she was up to. "Forget it. My leg isn't healed yet, so I won't bother with you anymore."

Now that Xiao Yihao's leg illness has healed, he has kept it a secret from the outside world. When he goes up the mountain tomorrow, people will definitely notice something is wrong. Xiao Yihao has no intention of revealing the truth that his leg illness has healed so soon.

"Since you don't want to go, that's fine." Jiang Chuyue originally didn't want to force Xiao Yihao to go with her. Seeing that he really had no interest, she poked his shoulder and asked curiously.

"How long are you going to keep this a secret? It's not a good idea to keep it a secret forever, right?"

"I have my own plans."

The two of them were talking in a riddle, which aroused the curiosity of the people around them. However, their voices were so low that no one could hear what they were saying after listening for a long time, so they had to give up.

"We've made it clear how the food should be distributed. Next, we should discuss the incident of the burning of the ancestral hall." Shen Rong said in a hoarse voice.

Jiang Chuyue became excited when she heard the word ancestral hall.

"The ancestral hall enshrines the tablets of Wanshan Village's deceased ancestors. Now it has caught fire and the responsibility lies with me. I failed to discover the fire in time and bring people to put it out." Shen Rong's words sounded high-sounding, but he was exposed by the next sentence.

"The ancestral hall needs to be renovated. It's a big project. I'm afraid we need everyone's help. Those who have money can contribute money, and those who don't can contribute labor. Do you think it's feasible?"

As soon as the words fell, someone said dissatisfiedly, "The ancestors of your Shen family are enshrined in the ancestral hall. Now that the ancestral hall has been burned down, why do you want us to pay for it?"

One stone can cause a thousand ripples. If one person stands up, more people will dare to stand up.

"That's right. Our old man's tablet is now at home. We wanted to invite him to the ancestral hall before, but you, the Shen family, said that there was no room in the ancestral hall."

……

Jiang Chuyue listened carefully and suddenly became curious, "Does your Xiao family have a tablet in the ancestral hall?"

"Of course not." Xiao Yihao laughed contemptuously, "The Shen family ancestral hall has never allowed other families to send tablets in to accept incense offerings. Only Shen Rong invited two or three tablets in the past two years, and the families invited were also related to the Shen family."

This is interesting.

An ancestral hall that only enshrines the ancestors of the Shen family has now been burned down, but all families are required to contribute money and effort to rebuild the hall. Is Shen Rong taking advantage of everyone?

In the past, no one would dare to step forward, and perhaps they would have agreed. But now, the harvest is poor and the villagers are already having a hard time. They have finally earned enough food to survive the winter by collecting herbs, and now the Shen family wants them to contribute money and labor?

Who can tolerate this?

"Shen Rong is not such a stupid person." Jiang Chuyue was a little curious about how Shen Rong would end this scene.

"What do Yihao and Chuyue think?" Unexpectedly, Shen Rong directly called out their names.

"What ideas can we have? We are both still young. We dare not make a decision on such an important matter." Jiang Chuyue responded lightly.

But Shen Rong insisted that the two of them show a clear attitude. "Although you are young, you are capable. I believe everyone present here knows this. Why don't you show your attitude first?"

Jiang Chuyue cursed in her heart, but she had to keep a calm and composed appearance, "Village Chief, it's not enough for only our family to express their opinions on such an important matter. It's more important to see what everyone thinks."

This is beautifully said, but also straightforward.

It was simply to let Shen Rong understand what the villagers present were thinking. For some things, without everyone's support, what would it matter even if the Shen family had a high status in Wanshan Village?

It still can't be accomplished.

Faced with such a weak person, Shen Rong knew that he could not push Jiang Chuyue too hard. Once they fell out with this person who could scold five elders in the ancestral hall, it would be difficult for everyone.

"What Chu Yue said makes sense, but I am old and confused." Shen Rong smiled.

"The village chief is now in good health, how can he be confused?" Jiang Chuyue seemed to be praising him, but in fact, she was following Shen Rong's words and finding different ways to scold him for being old.

But no matter how angry Shen Rong was, he couldn't really turn against Jiang Chuyue.

Everyone in Wanshan Village knows that Jiang Chuyue is living a prosperous life thanks to her business of buying and selling medicinal herbs. If Jiang Chuyue can be forced to pay for the reconstruction of the ancestral hall, then everything will be easy.

Shen Rong, who had known the situation well, did not continue arguing with Jiang Chuyue. His top priority now was to appease all the villagers who were dissatisfied with the Shen family. As for the follow-up matters, he could only plan them step by step.

Jiang Chuyue finally managed to hold on until the meeting in the village was over. She just felt tired. She walked alone in front, while Xiao Yihao pushed his wheelchair and followed slowly.

On the way, many villagers came to test Jiang Chuyue's attitude, but Jiang Chuyue dismissed them one by one.

"What do you think the village chief is planning to do?" Jiang Chuyue returned home and collapsed into her chair like a mollusk.

"Do you think that if he proposes to rebuild the ancestral hall at this time, there will be anyone willing to contribute money and effort?" Xiao Yihao did not directly answer Jiang Chuyue's question.

"Of course I'm not willing to do that. It's hard to go out in this cold winter. It would be better to go up the mountain to dig some herbs to exchange for food and money with the energy and strength now."

This is true, as life has been difficult this year already, and with the presence of a rebellious person like Jiang Chuyue, who contradicted the elders of the ancestral hall and caused a large group of villagers to become even more dissatisfied with the Shen family's preferential treatment.

Now that Shen Rongti wants to rebuild the ancestral hall, isn’t this an obvious thing?

No one will care at all, let alone offer money or help.

But Shen Rong still mentioned such an obvious thing, which was what Jiang Chuyue couldn't understand the most.

"Perhaps it is to reassure the Shen family?"
