During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

At the entrance of Hewan Village, under the big locust tree, Mrs. Jiang kindly dismissed the children around her and sat on a large smooth stone with a cane.

He panted and smiled at the villager next to him who was holding the soles of his shoes and smoking a pipe.

Just as he was about to say hello, he saw all the villagers smiling and looking towards the west of the village.

Mrs. Jiang also turned her head and looked over, with a bigger smile than the others.

"The patriarch's wife is here, sit down quickly, I have some candy here, can you eat it?" Mrs. Jiang took out two candies from her pocket and gave them to her.

Li Yue'e smiled and refused.

Although she is younger, she is well-educated and able to read and write, and she is the wife of the clan leader. Everyone in the village respects her, regardless of gender or age.

It was just an ordinary chat at first, but while chatting, Li Yuee suddenly changed the subject.

"Aunts and uncles, have you noticed that there are more salesmen in the village recently?"

A few people chatted at the entrance of the village almost every day, and they couldn't hide any news in the village from them.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and put the candies into Li Yue'e's hand, "I know, I bought these candies from the salesman. They cost three yuan a penny. They are cheap and delicious."

Mrs. Jiang has money in her hands, and Jiang Miao will give her a pension every month. After excluding the household expenses, what is left is enough for her to become a wealthy old lady.

She doesn't have to worry about things at home. She just stays in the underwear workshop or goes out to chat with the villagers every day, and her life is quite comfortable.

Li Yue'e suddenly sighed, "There are so many people coming to the village suddenly, I'm afraid..."

An aunt who was very observant asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"I don't know if I'm too worried. Two days ago, Brother Qian sent a message back saying that he can now go to the palace to study. Scholars in the capital regard him as a thorn in their side. At this time, some people come to the village and ask about him from time to time. , I’m afraid the person who came here is evil!”

Everyone was feeling worried, especially Mrs. Jiang.

She is still waiting for her eldest grandson to become a Jinshi in high school and honor his ancestors?

"The patriarch's wife, it's really as serious as you say!"

Li Yue'e clapped her hands helplessly, "I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking, maybe those people can't compare to Brother Qian on the surface, but they want to do some tricks behind the scenes!"

Everyone's hearts dropped by half.

Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes: "Are you trying to say that they don't dare to blatantly plot against A Qian, so they will resort to underhanded tactics?"

"It's possible. In fact, I suspect that the salesman who appeared in the village recently was sent by those people. So if a salesman asks you about your brothers in the future, you must not say anything."

Jiang Qian is currently the most promising person in the Jiang family. As his life improves, the lives of the people in the village will also improve accordingly.

In the past, there were no powerful people in their village, so they were often bullied by people from other villages. However, since Jiang Qian met Yuan in high school, the officials from the yamen were extremely polite when they came to collect grain from the village, not to mention that several other villages no longer Don't dare to bully them.

The villagers have not read the book, but they know how to be grateful and know that all this honor is because of Jiang Qian. Now if someone wants to bully him, the villagers are certainly not willing.

"Don't worry, patriarch's daughter-in-law, we're here to keep an eye on her and make sure they can't ask anything."

Said an old man with a wrinkled face who was smoking a pipe and pot.Mrs. Jiang also reacted quickly and gritted her teeth, "These murderers actually want to harm my eldest grandson. They can't even hope to succeed as long as I'm here."

Mrs. Jiang decided that she would stay here every day. As long as any salesman dared to come over and inquire about Jiang Qian, she would beat them out with a big stick to see if they dared to ask questions.

Mrs. Jiang looked at her hands and felt that her abilities were limited, so she ran back home and pulled Li Peilan over who was feeding the chickens.

Li Peilan trembled all over and waved her hands subconsciously.

She wasn't lazy, she was always working.

Mrs. Jiang gave her a disgusted look, asked her to find the big stick at home, and then led her to the entrance of the village aggressively.

"Those people are all here to harm A Qian. You can hit whoever I ask you to hit later."

Li Peilan understood and nodded fiercely, with a pair of yellow eyes full of determination.

After Li Peilan and Jiang Yongguo were rescued by Jiang Miao, the couple recovered from their injuries for a while, and then got up to work before dawn every day.

Jiang Yongguo has a crippled leg, but he still has a good leg. He uses a cane to go to the shop to catch bugs and cut grass every day, while Li Peilan cleans the house.

The two had their tongues cut out and were speechless, but they expressed everything with practical actions.

Mrs. Jiang's attitude towards the two of them has also changed from disgust at the beginning to acceptance now. Otherwise, she would not be able to run around easily and have spare money to buy sweets for the children in the village.

On the other side, some young adults in the village also found Jiang Fan.

Recently, a lot of businessmen have come to the village. They want to cooperate with them, and the prices offered are quite high. However, Jiang Qian is always mentioned in words and deeds, which makes everyone a little uneasy.

"This is a good thing, don't worry too much."

Jiang Fan slowly picked out the bad beans, threw them into a small bowl, and kept them for the chickens and ducks to eat, while he collected the good beans.

Jiang Ning looked to the left and right and saw that everyone was as confused as he was. He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was not the only one who didn't understand.

"Patriarch, they are asking about Jiang Qian in a roundabout way. Maybe they are going after him. I don't think it is a good thing."

"Of course it's not a good thing. If it was a good thing, he could inquire openly without having to beat around the bush, and he would always mention the separation of Uncle Jiang's family." Another young man said with squinted eyes.

"I don't think those people are good people. I think we should tell Jiang Qian about this matter so that he can be mentally prepared to avoid being plotted against him without even knowing it."

Everyone nodded.

Without even looking at the crowd, Jiang Fan put the divided beans aside, poured some water from the vat and washed his hands before looking at the crowd.

"I have already written to tell Brother Qian about this matter. You don't have to worry. The more often these people come, the more it means that Brother Qian is developing very well in the capital. They have nothing to do with Brother Qian in the capital, so that's why Run to Hewan Village to find Brother Qian’s weakness.”

Jiang Ning was the first to react, "According to what you said, Brother Qian should be doing well in the capital."

"Of course, if you don't get along well, those people won't come. But you must tell your family when you go back. Don't tell anyone from outside the village a word about Brother Qian, Amiao, and Young Master Luo. If there is really something wrong, If you’re not sure, just come and tell me.”
