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

Jiang Chuyue thought seriously for a moment, "It's not impossible. People are scattered now. If the Shen family is not united, it will be even more difficult for Shen Rong to be the village chief."

"Village chief, this position seems to be neither big nor small, but it is not easy to do." Xiao Yihao said seriously, and Jiang Chuyue also felt emotional, "If you become the village chief in the future, what will you do?"

“Why should I be the village chief?”

"Boring." Xiao Yihao didn't respond. Jiang Chuyue just stood up, but then shrank back into her chair.

Because she needed to collect medicinal herbs in the cold weather, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang thought about adding thick cotton quilting to Jiang Chuyue's chair so that when people lay down in it, they would feel soft and extra warm.

Since getting this chair, Jiang Chuyue has become more and more lazy. Throughout the winter, she wished she could live forever with this chair.

The two chatted about what had happened in the past two days, while Aunt Zhang and Mr. and Mrs. Wu Gang were busy in the kitchen in tacit understanding, and the firewood for the fire made crackling sounds from time to time.

The days seemed to have become more leisurely.

But before Jiang Chuyue could take a break, the village chief Shen Rong came to visit her.

"I wonder if the village chief has any important business to discuss this time?" Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao knew that Shen Rong was coming, so they quickly packed up and went to greet him.

Shen Rong was a smiling tiger, and he still spoke with a smile, "I just came to see you. Were you scared by what happened in the ancestral hall yesterday?"

Jiang Chuyue was finding it increasingly difficult to figure out Shen Rong. Yesterday in the ancestral hall, Jiang Chuyue was not frightened at all. Not only was she not frightened, she even directly scolded the five clan elders. None of them got anything good from Jiang Chuyue. Now Shen Rong was concerned about Jiang Chuyue instead.

This strange experience made Jiang Chuyue feel a little uneasy. "Yesterday, I was impulsive and implicated five elders because of the dispute between the first and second branches of the Xiao family. It was really my fault. Please ask the village chief to say hello to the five elders on my behalf."

"The five elders are doing well now, you don't have to worry." Shen Rong exchanged a few pleasantries with Jiang Chuyue, but didn't get the answer he wanted from Jiang Chuyue. Shen Rong couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

He turned to Xiao Yihao, who had remained silent the whole time, and said, "Yihao, you're a grown man, just speak out what you think."

Jiang Chuyue curled her lips. Shen Rong just wanted them to pay money. Jiang Chuyue did have some money in her hands, but this money was also earned by her with her life and death. Why should she donate it selflessly just because Shen Rong asked her to do so, and donate it to the Shen family to rebuild the Shen family's ancestral hall?

Jiang Chuyue would never do such a losing business.

"It would be great if we could rebuild the ancestral hall." Xiao Yihao's words gave Shen Rong some hope. "But my legs are broken now. Chu Yue has to work hard to earn money for the family. Chu Yue has to support me and my two younger siblings. She doesn't want us to have bad food because of the family's situation. So, all the money she earns is spent on food, and some money is spent on the herbs she collects."

Xiao Yihao looked embarrassed.

It's not that he is unwilling to pay, but he really can't afford it.

Jiang Chuyue smiled secretly. Xiao Yihao said so. If Shen Rong asked them to pay again, it would be too much.

Seeing that Shen Rong's face was not looking good, Jiang Chuyue hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Village Chief, it's almost time for dinner. Aunt Zhang has already prepared it. Why don't you stay for dinner?"

Knowing that he couldn't get Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao to talk, Shen Rong looked normal, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He wanted to get up and leave, but when he saw Liu Cui, he immediately changed the subject and said, "In this case, I can't refuse your kindness."

Jiang Chuyue naturally noticed the change in Shen Rong's expression, and knew that he was planning to target Liu Cui. She turned around and glanced at Xiao Yihao, and they both understood what was going on.

After taking his seat, Shen Rong couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the five dishes and one soup, which were both meat and vegetables.

As the village chief, his family was still doing okay when the harvest was poor this year. But even so, their conditions were still not as good as Jiang Chuyue's family.

Shen Rong, who had always been reserved and unwilling to do medicinal materials business with Jiang Chuyue, couldn't help but regret it. If he had done business with Jiang Chuyue in the first place, his family's situation would have been better now. More importantly, the villagers of Wanshan Village would not feel that the Shen family was living too comfortably, and the current situation would not have occurred.

There is no medicine for regret in the world. Things have come to this point. No matter how much regret Shen Rong feels, he can only continue to walk through the thorns.

The Xiao family, who always kept silent while eating and sleeping, had a rare quiet meal this time. Even the three children who usually liked to fight and play were very well behaved today.

Only Shen Rong would occasionally say a few words, asking if Liu Cui was used to living in the big house, and if she was uncomfortable living in the old house where the big house was really simple.

Jiang Chuyue was eating very seriously. She would only look up to respond when Shen Rong took the initiative to talk to her. The rest of the time, no matter what Shen Rong and Liu Cui said, she pretended not to hear and did not say a word.

Seeing that Shen Rong was about to coax Liu Cui into agreeing to pay for Jiang Chuyue and the others, Jiang Chuyue was not in a hurry.

"Repairing the ancestral hall is a good thing. If there is a need for our Xiao family, we will naturally be willing to contribute." Liu Cui was flattered by Shen Rong's flattering words.

Ever since Xiao Yihao's parents passed away and his legs became disabled, the Xiao family's life has been getting worse and worse, and Liu Cui's situation in Wanshan Village is no longer the same as before.

Now even the village chief of Wanshan Village has to flatter her, no wonder Liu Cui is getting cocky.

"Grandma, you are so old, how many pieces of wood can you move to rebuild the ancestral hall?" Jiang Chuyue joked with a smile.

Liu Cui immediately glanced at Jiang Chuyue and asked, "Why should I move wood?"

"Didn't you say that? Do you want to work hard? Isn't moving wood working hard?" Jiang Chuyue didn't get angry. She just looked at Liu Cui with a smile.

"You are also aware of our family's situation. We can't afford to spend a penny. The little money we earn is all exchanged for food and herbs. Our eldest branch definitely can't afford this. Grandma, are you planning to accept it on behalf of the second branch? Let the second branch pay for the reconstruction of the ancestral hall?"

Jiang Chuyue directly dragged the second wife into the water.

How much does Liu Cui value Xiao Li from the second house? She is reluctant to let Xiao Li suffer any loss, so now that she has to pay, she naturally refuses.

"Where does your second uncle get the money? They are barely making ends meet, how can they contribute money and effort?" After Liu Cui said this, she finally understood what Jiang Chuyue meant.

Although she valued the second wife, she also knew that at this time she could only eat and drink enough in the first wife's house. If she returned to the second wife's house, she would not have such a good life.
