After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

Master Wang was stunned for a moment, then he said in amazement: "Jiang Sanya, you are so broad-minded at such a young age, I am ashamed of myself!"

Others at the table were also surprised.

Xie Lan raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Wan. He was attracted by the tiny light in her eyes and couldn't help but look at her twice more.

Jiang Wan smiled, "Master Wang, you think too much. I don't have such a noble character. It's just that the village head mentioned to me before that there are no kangs in the village. In winter, every household has to use braziers to burn charcoal for heating. Those who can't afford charcoal directly burn firewood. But firewood is not as convenient as charcoal, which causes many people in the village to get sick from the cold in winter."

"Now that we have a kang, we can solve the problem of winter heating once and for all. I hope it can be popularized throughout the village so that no one's life will be endangered by the cold in winter. As long as we are diligent and store more firewood, winter with a kang will be better than before."

Her voice was faint and her tone was light, but what she said moved Master Wang deeply.

"Third girl, you are right. With the kang, we don't have to worry about the cold in winter! You don't know that it snowed heavily the winter before last. It was freezing cold. People were shivering by the fire in the house. There was a family at the end of the village. They were poor and couldn't afford charcoal. Firewood burned quickly. The road was blocked by heavy snow, so they couldn't go out to collect firewood. The family of three didn't survive and froze to death!"

Fourth Uncle Xie had heard about this and sighed, "Fortunately, my family had a lot of firewood stored that year, and we had money to buy some charcoal, but my little grandson caught a cold. Fortunately, Xiao Lan braved the wind and snow to go to the next village to find a barefoot doctor to get medicine, otherwise my little grandson might have..."

Fourth Aunt Xie wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "This kang that my niece-in-law thought of is really a blessing for our entire Lvshui Village. Dad, we also want to build two at home, so that the two children in the old family won't be cold in winter."

Fourth Uncle Xie nodded, "Yes, Master Wang, you can go to my house to build the kang tomorrow. I have two daughters-in-law at home. They can help you. After the work is done, I will pay you."

Master Wang smiled and shook his head. "Old Fourth, you are the third girl's uncle. We have been eating and drinking together for so many days. We are old friends. Why are you still talking to me about money?"

Uncle Xie turned his head to look at Jiang Wan, who was drinking soup.

She felt Fourth Uncle Xie's gaze, but she was not flustered and said, "Fourth Uncle, since Master Wang has said so, just listen to him."

Fourth Uncle Xie was very excited, but he was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say to express his gratitude. Fourth Aunt Xie spoke for him, "Niece-in-law, this is not good, right? Two kangs cost two hundred coins! Master Wang can't work for nothing, can he?"

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Fourth Aunt, if you feel bad, just make some delicious food for Master Wang and his friends, and give two red envelopes to his apprentices afterwards like I did."

When Master Wang's two apprentices heard this, their eyes lit up and all four of them looked at Jiang Wan.

That pious look seemed to regard Jiang Wan as the God of Wealth.

"cough."

Xie Lan coughed lightly, his voice was very low, but the two little disciples immediately withdrew their gazes.

Xie Lan was only one or two years older than the other two, but his cool, calm and steady temperament was not like that of a teenager, but more like that of a man in his twenties or thirties.

So the two little disciples were afraid of Xie Lan from the bottom of their hearts.

Xie Lan said, "Aunt, my uncle and cousin have helped me a lot recently. I will pay for the kang for you."

"That won't work!"

Fourth Aunt Xie was even more unwilling. She treated Xie Lan as her half son, so how could she let a junior pay for her?

Master Wang drank a glass of wine and decided, "Old Fourth, I will go to your house to build a kang tomorrow. I don't want a penny, but you must treat me with good wine and good food, otherwise I will get angry!"

Fourth Uncle Xie smiled with wrinkles on his face, "Okay, okay!"

So that was decided.

In the second half of the show, Fourth Uncle Xie and Fourth Aunt Xie looked at Jiang Wan more and more affectionately, as if they loved Jiang Wan as their own daughter.

Fourth Aunt Xie kept picking up dishes and serving them to Jiang Wan, smiling so hard that she couldn't stop.

Jiang Wan's belly was full after eating so much. She couldn't resist Fourth Aunt Xie's enthusiasm, so she took the opportunity to leave the table and walk outside the yard to digest her food.

Halfway through the walk, Jiang Wan felt someone behind her. She turned around and her eyes happened to meet Xie Lan's.

"Hey, why did you come out?"

Jiang Wan was puzzled.

Xie Lan was standing with his back to the moon, with bright light shining behind him. His outline was emitting a faint glow, and his face could not be seen clearly, but he seemed to be extremely holy.

Jiang Wan once again marveled at Xie Lan's appearance.

Although Xie Lan always has a cold face, his appearance is impeccable.

Her eyebrows and eyes are both delicate and perfect, with slanted eyebrows reaching her temples, a straight nose, and thin lips that are bright red.

Even though you can't see his face clearly, you can always feel that he has an extraordinary temperament and appearance.

"It's very noisy in there."

Xie Lan said calmly, with no emotion in his voice.

"Oh."

Jiang Wan was dazed, but quickly reacted and responded.

Then there was a dead silence between the two.

Jiang Wan scratched his head, not knowing what to say. Instead of staying alone with Xie Lan, he might as well go in and listen to Fourth Aunt Xie's nagging.

Just as she was about to leave, Xie Lan said, "I want to thank you on behalf of my fourth uncle and the others."

"what?"

"It's about the kang."

"Oh." Jiang Wan shook his head, "It has nothing to do with me. Master Wang went there voluntarily."

Xie Lan said, "It's different. If you hadn't given the kang drawings to Master Wang, Master Wang wouldn't have built a kang for Fourth Uncle's family for free."

Jiang Wan smiled, "Isn't it just two hundred coins? It's not much money."

Xie Lan was silent, he wanted to say more than that.

Jiang Wan didn't just save two hundred coins for Fourth Uncle Xie and his men; she saved countless copper coins for the entire Lushui Village.

There are more than one hundred households in Lushui Village. If the labor cost of a kang is two hundred coins, that would be forty or fifty taels of silver.

This money should have been earned by Master Wang.

But Jiang Wan asked him to build kangs for the villagers of Lushui Village and only charged him half of the wages.

This means that Master Wang directly lost dozens of taels of silver.

The reason why Master Wang agreed was because Jiang Wan gave him the drawings of the kang for free.

In other words, Jiang Wan saved a lot of money for the villagers of Lushui Village.

Xie Lan didn't know the financial situation of other families, but he knew about his uncle Xie's family.

Uncle Xie made a living by farming. During his spare time, he went to the town to find odd jobs, earning only about ten cents a day.

Uncle Xie also has many children. The eldest son and the second son are married and have given birth to sons and daughters. There are more than ten people in the family, and they all rely on Uncle Xie and his two eldest sons to work hard to support them.

When Xie Lan was ten years old and separated from the family, life was difficult in the first one or two years, and Uncle Xie's family often helped the village.

Therefore, Xie Lan was grateful to his fourth uncle Xie's family. He had been well off recently and was about to help them, but Jiang Wan repeatedly helped him and gave him a lot in return.

For example, sending food, cloth, and silver to Aunt Xie.

Even though Jiang Wan had something to entrust to Fourth Aunt Xie, she was willing to give it without caring about the price in return.

This changed Xie Lan's impression of Jiang Wan a lot, but he never said it out loud.

Now Jiang Wan waved his hand and helped the whole village. His generosity and selflessness made Xie Lan feel a little admiration in his heart.

But he didn't show it. He had to hide his feelings until he found out the true identity of Jiang Wan's "heart".

"Thank you anyway."

He still says that.
