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

"Oh, it's because I, an old woman, was confused. The children are the ones who make the decisions in this family. If the village chief has any issues, he should talk to those in charge." Liu Cui immediately distanced herself from the matter and disowned what she had just said.

Shen Rong was not at all dissatisfied with Liu Cui's sudden change of attitude, and still smiled and said, "We are all old now, and the family affairs should be handed over to these children."

The topic came to an end here for the time being, and Shen Rong did not mention it again.

After dinner, as they had nothing to do, the three children pestered Jiang Chuyue to identify medicinal herbs. For this, Jiang Chuyue opened a room that was temporarily used as a warehouse. Many kinds of medicinal herbs were neatly arranged in the room. These herbs were all confirmed by Jiang Chuyue to be mature and looked very good, and then they were moved out from the space.

There were crops of medicinal herbs and grains growing in the space, and the warehouse had long been full. Besides, as she was in the herb collection business, she couldn't have no herbs at home, so Jiang Chuyue came up with this idea.

Shen Rong originally wanted to leave, but seeing that Jiang Chuyue had no intention of hiding anything from him, he followed Xiao Yihao into the warehouse. Looking at the warehouse full of herbs and food, Shen Rong was also frightened.

After the famine, the price of food became ridiculously high. Even when the harvest was good in previous years, the villagers of Wanshan Village could only eat pot stickers during the holidays. However, in the past two days, Shen Rong had been running around from house to house for the ancestral hall's affairs, and naturally discovered that many families even had minced meat on the table.

This would have been unthinkable in the past, but now, with only a few days left before the Chinese New Year, the villagers of Wanshan Village can even have a taste of meat.

Thinking of this, Shen Rong couldn't help but feel jealous. The Shen family now only appears to be prosperous, but in fact it is empty inside. Even the 117 kilograms of grain they collected were barely gathered together by more than 20 households.

The original intention was just to appease everyone, but he never expected that the villagers of Wanshan Village now don't even care about these grains.

Shen Rong's plan failed. It was even more impossible for him to win the hearts of the people and then persuade everyone to contribute money and effort to rebuild the ancestral hall.

The Shen family thought simply. Although they were used to living a comfortable life and exploiting other villagers, they grew up in Wanshan Village after all and had not seen the world.

Those who can think more can be like Shen Rong and take the position of village chief.

But Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao were obviously full of tricks. They were used to finding everything wrong and strange, but they never thought that Shen Rong was really not that smart.

Noticing Shen Rong's envious look, Xiao Yihao understood and asked, "Village Chief, after all, you are the village chief of Wanshan Village, and your words carry some weight. A few days ago, I thought that since the New Year is approaching, I would distribute some food to every household. Why don't you come and help?"

Shen Rong obviously didn't expect that Xiao Yihao would invite him to help. He was hesitant and worried for a moment.

Although Jiang Chuyue didn't know what Xiao Yihao was planning, she subconsciously followed his words and said, "Yes, Village Chief, we are short of manpower here. You can read and write, so you can help a lot. If it is convenient, why don't you come and help us the day after tomorrow?"

Seeing Jiang Chuyue also spoke, Shen Rong hesitated and agreed, "Since you are short of manpower, it is my duty as the village chief to help."

Unexpectedly, Shen Rong agreed so quickly. When it was time to say goodbye to Shen Rong, Jiang Chuyue was still in a daze, "Why do I feel that the village chief doesn't seem very smart?"

Was he so easily tricked into helping them? When he left, he seemed to have completely forgotten the purpose of his trip.

Jiang Chuyue doubted herself a little, "He wouldn't want to deliberately make some noise when I help him the next day, right?"

"I'm afraid we were thinking of something wrong before." Xiao Yihao spoke, attracting Jiang Chuyue's attention.

"Although this village chief is a member of the Shen family and has always been accustomed to the life of the Shen family, I don't think I have ever seen him get angry with anyone in my memory."

Although I don't want to admit it, this is indeed the fact.

"No way?" Jiang Chuyue frowned, looking doubtful. Could it be that they had always thought that Shen Rong was a smiling tiger who was difficult to figure out, but in fact, Shen Rong was a good-tempered person?

"It seems that the village chief has never lost his temper." Aunt Zhang also echoed, and Wu Gang nodded.

Seeing that several people who were born and raised in Wanshan Village said so, Jiang Chuyue felt a little tired, "Then why didn't you tell me before?"

"Because I forgot too." Xiao Yihao's casual words made Jiang Chuyue's calculations and plans of these days come to nothing. She had originally wanted to go up the mountain tomorrow to ask Zhang San and others for help again.

But now Shen Rong didn't seem to be what she thought. Jiang Chuyue couldn't help but doubt her life. "But opening the ancestral hall, is it true that he wants to punish me?"

If Shen Rong is really as good-tempered as he appears, then some of the things that happened before don't make sense.

However, Shen Tang had doubts about how he had used the Wu family to frame Jiang Chuyue. Jiang Chuyue touched her chin and fell into deep thought.

Behind Wanshan Village, she always felt that it was not as simple as she thought.

No matter how much Jiang Chuyue thought about it and calculated how many puzzling problems she had, she became more and more suspicious that there was a person or force in Wanshan Village who was stirring up the situation in Wanshan Village and even misleading Jiang Chuyue.

After much thought, Jiang Chuyue decided to talk to Xiao Yihao.

"I've seen you go out late at night and meet someone before." Jiang Chuyue laid out the whole story as soon as she stepped into Xiao Yihao's room.

Xiao Yihao paused for a moment as he closed the book, then looked at Jiang Chuyue and smiled. This smile was very meaningful, "Sure enough, my feeling that night was not wrong."

Raising an eyebrow, Jiang Chuyue leaned against the desk and held down the book in Xiao Yihao's hand. "It seems that you discovered me that day? So you made a test later?"

"Yes." Xiao Yihao was very frank. He did not ask Jiang Chuyue why she came to her today to be frank. He just continued with what Jiang Chuyue said.

"I have also seen the note hidden in your book." Jiang Chuyue continued, "But I don't know how you transmit messages, so I didn't discover the secret on the note."

"Sure enough, the dream I had that day was not actually a dream, right?" Xiao Yihao still remembered that day when he was taken to a strange place by Jiang Chuyue in a daze. After waking up, he was still lying on the bed, as if nothing had happened and everything was just an illusion of his.

That time, he also asked Jiang Chuyue, but he had almost forgotten how Jiang Chuyue responded.
