When Jiang Lili heard what Village Chief Yan said, she realized that he was the richest man in the village. No wonder his clothes were different from those of other villagers.

Jiang Lili looked at the enthusiastic Yuan Shi in front of her and asked: "Madam, are you willing to let our family stay in your house?"

"Yes, young lady, you are a good doctor and very smart. I admire you very much."

Yuan Shi smiled and said sincerely, "Although the young lady's family is in exile, there is a spirit of vigor and vitality in her expression. It is obvious that she is of extraordinary bearing."

Yang Yunzhao, who was standing by, was so angry when he saw Jiang Lili and her group being invited to stay at the home of the village's richest man.

It was not known whether Wang Zifu was targeting them intentionally, but the entire Yang family had to squeeze into a thatched house of a villager tonight, sleeping on hay without even a bed, and could only eat sweet potatoes.

"Ah--"

Yang Yunzhao couldn't help sneezing. She sniffed her nose and followed the Yang family reluctantly.

Jiang Lili exchanged glances with the others in Zhaoping Marquis's residence, then nodded and said with a sweet smile, "Then I'm sorry to bother you, Madam."

Yuan made a gesture of invitation: "Everyone, please follow me."

Jiang Lili hadn't forgotten Yin Zhen and her son. "Sister Yin, where did the village arrange for you to live?"

Jiang Lili had to feed Dabao medicine again at night. For some reason, she always felt that this child looked kind.

Yin Zhen looked troubled and bit her lip slightly. "The master left with his wife first and told me to find another place to live so that Dabao wouldn't infect them with his illness."

Yuan Shi glanced at Yin Zhen and then said enthusiastically, "If you don't mind, the cook's house is next to my house. She has a small room there that can accommodate you and your son."

Yin Zhen was surprised and expressed her gratitude immediately.

Jiang Lili and her group followed Yuanshi to the home of Ning, the richest man in the village. On the way, Yuanshi chatted with the female relatives about family matters.

Yuan has been married into the Ning family for almost twenty years and has two sons and one daughter. She followed Master Ning into Linzhou City these days.

The Ning family's house is very conspicuous among the thatched houses. Not only does it look imposing in appearance, with its structure made of glutinous rice mortar, but it is also very large, with two courtyards. It can be considered a luxurious mansion in the village.

Yin Zhen looked at the spacious courtyard, exclaimed in admiration, and asked, "I wonder what business Master Ning is in?"

Yuan smiled and pushed open the Ning family's door: "Our Ning family's ancestors were in the medicinal materials business, supplying medicine to the pharmacies in Linzhou City."

"There are also two or three shops in Linzhou City that do other things."

Yang was puzzled: "Then why does Madam still live in Langyan Village? It's not very convenient to go into the city."

"Oh, we supply medicinal herbs to the city. We usually hire villagers to go to the mountains to collect herbs, and then resell them to the city."

"There has to be someone to take care of this, right?"

Yuanshi spoke very carefully and there was nothing unusual about her words.

"My master travels back and forth between Linzhou City and Langyan Village. Although it's tiring, at least he can help our family live a comfortable life."

As soon as everyone entered the yard, they found it was well-maintained, decorated with gardenias and bamboos, giving it a unique elegance.

It seems that the Ning family is not only the richest family in the village, but there are probably few people in the surrounding area who are better off than their family.

"Mrs. Yin, please come with us into the house. I heard that there were guests coming to the village, so I asked the cook to prepare a table of delicious food before I left."

Yuan invited everyone to the main hall: "After dinner, I will take you to your rooms."

Jiang Lili supported Yang: "Madam Yuan, my mother is a little tired. I want to help her go to her room and lie down for a while."

Yuan asked the maid who followed her to take Jiang Lili and Yang to the guest room first.

Jiang Lili helped him lie down to rest and then returned to the main hall. At this time, the dishes had already been served on the dining table in the main hall.

There were nearly twenty dishes on the big round table in the main hall, most of which were meat dishes, and the aroma was everywhere. However, although everyone sat down, no one started eating.

"Everyone is here, we can have dinner."

Seeing that everyone was so reserved, Yuanshi laughed jokingly.

"Don't worry, all the villagers in our village are like this, warm and hospitable. Are you scared?"

After saying this, Yuan picked up her chopsticks and picked up all the dishes to taste.

"It's normal for you to be reserved and cautious, but can you rest assured now?"

"It's not that we're being cautious, it's just that we were very hungry on the way. We're waiting for you, Madam Yuan, to pick up more food first."

Jiang Lili spoke up to smooth things over: "Otherwise, we starving ghosts will clear out the entire table."

When Jiang Lili said this, everyone laughed and the awkward situation was resolved.

Jiang Lili picked up a set of bowls and plates and said to Yuan Shi, "Madam, I want to serve some food to mother. I feel uneasy when I think that mother hasn't eaten yet."

Yuan nodded and chuckled: "What a filial child. Go ahead. While the food is still hot."

After Jiang Lili served the food, she went to Yang's room. Yang was taking a nap and Jiang Lili did not wake her up.

She opened the group chat and sent a private message to the monitor.

@Jiang Lili: Squad leader, could you please check if the food I sent over has any extra ingredients?

[@Squad Leader: Okay, this is what the imperial doctors in the palace are good at.]

Jiang Lili held the bowl of food in her hand, clicked the red envelope icon in the chat interface, and sent a physical red envelope to the squad leader.

The next moment, the bowl of food in her hand disappeared instantly.

Jiang Lili took out the nourishing soup prepared for Yang from the backpack, which was fed by Xiaopang separately.

After delivering the soup, Zhang Xiaopang sent Jiang Lili a kowtow emoticon.

@张小胖: Sister Li, you really helped me this time. Today's dinner with the project leader went incredibly smoothly!
