Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 129 Targeted Poverty Alleviation
"Fifth brother, are you worried that the villagers have welcomed new hope and vitality, and will be disappointed after catching all the crayfish?" Wen Qingwan asked softly.

“Sister-in-law, our mansion used to be the poorest family in Shangjing City, but after coming here, I realized that the surrounding villagers are even poorer.

They are busy from early morning every day and don't want to rest until night falls.

After working in the fields, they return home and continue to be busy. Their lives seem to be an endless rush and hard work.

My fifth brother saw that these villagers were having a hard time, but I was powerless to change the situation.”

Xiao Wu continued with a painful expression, “Before I ate crayfish, I was just like the villagers and hated the rapid reproduction of pests.

When I learned that the pests could be exchanged for silver, I was worried that the villagers would not be able to resist their desire to improve their lives. "

"When did my fifth brother become so kindhearted? When he saw the villagers living in poverty, he wanted to help these villagers who were having a hard time.

We have seen that the beggars in the dilapidated temple in the west of the city are more evil than the villagers. Why didn't you think of helping them? "Xiao Libo asked curiously.

"........."

Xiao Wu was speechless. Although he was not a heartless person, he was not a pushover either. The reason he wanted to help the villagers here was because

It was all because of the village chief’s youngest daughter. A month ago, he had started to like that lively and lovely girl and liked to see her smile happily.

"Second brother is right. When we were eating crayfish just now, Fifth brother looked at the village with a worried look on his face. It seemed that he really wanted the people there to eat the delicious crayfish as well."

The cattle-herding Xiao Ba joined his second brother in teasing Xiao Wu. In fact, he also knew a little about his fifth brother's thoughts.

He wanted to help his fifth brother, but his second, third and fourth brothers were all unmarried, so he could only help up to this point.

Sure enough, Wen Qingwan heard the hidden meaning in Xiao Ba's words, but she didn't ask, just encouraged him in a gentle voice.

"Seeing that these villagers are having a hard time, I want to do my part to help them. This is a kind virtue. When you can really help them, you will feel very happy."

Wen Qingwan encouraged the Xiao brothers to help others because she had truly experienced the joy of it.

She also received a practical benefit, that is, God allowed her to be reborn, and the King of Hell gave her a merit mall.

She had no hope in her life in her previous life, but after becoming the queen, she worked desperately for the people of Dasheng.

Whenever she solved a drought in one place, she would be very excited, and then she would solve a flood in another place...

The repetitive busyness exhausted her but she also enjoyed it because it enriched herself at the same time.

She ordered talented ministers to run around and find a better way out for the people.

Seeing that she was wholeheartedly serving the people, the Seventh Princess also asked for permission to help the people tidy up their fields.

He said he wanted to introduce more advanced planting techniques from there so that the people of Dasheng could have a better harvest.

The Seventh Princess also organized the people of Dasheng to learn new skills so that they could have more opportunities for survival.

She contacted merchants in the southern cities and helped the people in the north sell their agricultural products at a better price.

She said that what she did was targeted poverty alleviation, and when she became the Seventh Princess, the lives of the villagers in the poorest villages gradually improved.

It made the villagers smile brightly and their eyes revealed hope and gratitude.

The two sisters-in-law looked at the changes and smiled at each other, their hearts were filled with satisfaction and joy. However, suddenly one day, a flood suddenly destroyed the village, and many villagers' homes were destroyed.

The efforts and hopes of the villagers seemed to have turned to ashes. The moment she and the Seventh Princess learned the news, they felt powerless and sad.

But Wen Qingwan knew that she couldn't give up just like that, so she decided to cheer up again and lead the villagers to rebuild their homes together.

The cycle of sorrow made her feel heartbroken and helpless, and she deeply felt the powerlessness and despair... and finally she collapsed from exhaustion!

In her previous life, only the Seventh Princess' sister-in-law truly supported her, and Prime Minister Wen and a group of ministers always wanted to pull her down from the position of Queen.

But this life is completely different. She has the Merit Mall, Xiao Jin, and the support of Xiao’s brothers and sisters.

Whatever she wants to do, she doesn't have to do it herself, she just needs to talk.

If she could meet the Seventh Princess again, she would definitely remind her not to marry the Seventh Prince, a man who only has Wen Mingzhu in his heart.

The seventh prince lived his whole life only for Wen Mingzhu. When Zhao Jue ascended the throne, the seventh prince was named the Seventh Prince.

Since Wen Mingzhu died, he became a monk.

Such an outstanding girl should not have wasted her youth by marrying the Seventh Prince.

Wen Qingwan glanced at the Xiao brothers, and she suddenly felt that Xiao Si and Xiao Qi were both particularly suitable for that girl.

But Xiao Lichuan will be eighteen in a month, and the girl will only be twelve years old at the end of the year.

Xiao Qi is more suitable. Xiao Qi is fifteen years old this year, three years older than her. Thinking of this, Wen Qingwan almost laughed out loud.

"Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?" Xiao Yi felt a pang in her heart when she saw her sister-in-law looking at her brothers with ill intentions.

“Sister-in-law, I think that Fifth Brother must have taken a fancy to the girl in the village, since Fifth Brother is willing to help the villagers.

Then, sister-in-law will set the price of crayfish at thirty-five cents per pound. What do you think, seventh brother?"

"My sister-in-law said that thirty-five cents is the most appropriate. As for whether the crayfish will be caught and killed, the villagers should be happy. After all, the villagers will be happier if there are no pests in the rice fields."

Xiao Qi has been selling milk tea in the city for a long time and didn't know that his fifth brother liked the village chief's daughter.

He just thought that his fifth brother was kind-hearted and wanted the villagers to live a better life, so he still comforted his fifth brother and told him not to be sad.

"In fact, crayfish can be farmed, just like raising pigs and chickens." Wen Qingwan threw out the good news.

Her Merit Mall sells various breeding techniques, but I don’t know how many merit points are required.

"Really? Is what my sister-in-law said true?" Xiao Wu was so happy that he almost jumped up.

"What my sister-in-law said must be true. Fifth brother, go to Taohua Village now and tell the village chief the good news." Xiao Ba secretly helped his fifth brother.

"Why is Fifth Brother going? It's such a good thing, Second Brother also wants to go and show off."

"Come on, second brother, why don't you go feed the pigs and escort grandma and sister-in-law back home later." Xiao Qi received a hint from his eighth brother.

"Okay, Grandma, Sister-in-law, Yi'er, do you want to go see the thirteen piglets born by my big sow?"

"Grandma won't go to see it. You young people can go." Your grandma is still waiting for the spicy crayfish in the pot to be served!
"Grandma, you don't want to wait here for the crayfish in the pot, do you?" Xiao Lichun asked with his round eyes wide open.
