Chapter 332 Sickness

"Village Chief, I'm here today because I want to trouble you with something."

Jiang Wan untied the cloth bag with a smile, revealing the huge treasure inside that was shining with silver light.

She brought ten pieces of silver in each weighing ten taels, a total of ten, which is one hundred taels.

Seeing so much silver, the old village chief's hands trembled, his legs became a little weak, and he quickly found a stool to sit down.

"Jiang girl, what are you doing here with so much money?"

"Village Chief, this silver is for you."

"What!!"

The old village chief spoke excitedly, and Jiang Wan quickly finished his words.

"Don't worry, let me finish what I want to say. This money is for you to manage. I want to repair the road in the village and the small road to the city. There is a lot of rain in the rainy season near the sea. I dare not go out on that road when it rains. It is better to repair it."

Building the road has always been in Jiang Wan's plan, but she didn't have that much spare money before, and she was too busy at home to think about it, so it has been delayed until now.

The best road in the village is the one leading to the dam. It was paved with whole bluestones that the older generation carried from somewhere many years ago, and it looks like fine blue jade.

It won’t slip when you walk on it in rainy days, and it looks beautiful and elegant.

If she had a lot of money, Jiang Wan would actually like to build all the roads in the village like that, but unfortunately she didn't have enough money.

If the whole village were to be paved with bluestone, it would cost more than several thousand taels, which was beyond her budget, so she could only build it roughly.

Use oyster shells to compact the road first, then mix it with sticky soil and pave it with bricks or slabs.

When Jiang Wan expressed his idea, the old village chief's beard trembled with excitement.

“Okay, okay!!”

The roads in the village have been a headache for him for a long time, but in the countryside, every village is like this. Even if he wants to change it, he has no money and no support, so he can only think about it.

It’s different now, Jiang Wan sent me one hundred taels!

One hundred taels might be too much to do!

"Jiang girl, do you really want to donate this one hundred taels to build roads in the village?"

Jiang Wan nodded and pushed the silver directly into the arms of the old village chief.

"Grandpa, we have settled down in the village now. The village is our home, and I certainly hope it will become better. I don't know anything about road construction, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of it yourself."

The old village chief smiled, and it seemed as if the old skin on his face had relaxed.

"Don't worry, girl. I promise that every penny of this money will be used for road construction. My son will keep accounts and show you the account book when the time comes."

Jiang Wan did not refuse and agreed with a smile. Seeing that the old village chief and his wife wanted to keep her for breakfast, she quickly found an excuse to run away.

On the way back, she saw people arguing from a distance. She wanted to go around them, but she heard Lian Yue's name.

After listening carefully to the content of the quarrel between the two, it turned out that they were quarreling over who would go to work on Lianyue Island.

Lianyue Island is not very big, and even if they invite guests, they usually don't invite many. The two sisters-in-law in this family started arguing.

The two of them did remind Jiang Wan that the number of oysters harvested recently was a bit small, so it would not work to collect them individually, and an oyster farm would be needed.

The supply from Lord Qin is quite tight this year, so we still need more oyster farms.

I'll go ask Lian Yue later if he's interested in booking another place. If he doesn't want to do it, I'll ask Lian Qiao for help.

These two brothers are both capable of getting things done.

Jiang Wan returned home pondering over something. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Baozhu saying something that made Anan giggle.

Anan hasn't laughed happily recently because of Mr. Bei. Now that she hears her laughter again, Jiang Wan feels a little better.

"Wanwan, have you finished your work?"

"Yes, the money has been given to the village chief. We don't need to worry about the rest."

Jiang Wan approached A Niang and noticed with her sharp eyes that she had changed the hairpin she was wearing to tie her hair.

It was not the style she usually bought in the city, but a plum blossom hairpin that looked a little rough but had good carving craftsmanship.

You can tell at first glance that the person wearing this hairpin has the surname Li.

Jiang Wan felt upset eating dog food early in the morning.

"Mother, didn't Uncle Li come last night? Why did he go back so soon?"

Yin Huaixi's face turned red and he coughed uncomfortably.

"No, no. He said that there wasn't much meat left in our kitchen, so he went to the mountain for a walk and would be back at noon."

“Oh~~”

I knew it, we finally got down the mountain, why are we coming back so quickly?

Jiang Wan knew that her mother was shy, so she stopped teasing her. After sitting for a while, she went back to her room to get rid of her bottles and jars.

For some reason, she felt extremely sleepy after only one hour of work. She also felt achy in her body, so she had to go to bed and rest.

Did I sit for too long?

Jiang Wan lay on the bed, thinking in a daze that she needed to change.

Currently, the things we sell at home include oyster sauce, seafood snacks, and various skin care products. It’s too diverse.

At first, my family was poor, so I just did whatever could make money. Now that I have some money saved, there is no need to do so many things.

She thought of teaching the villagers all the extra trading skills and just focusing on skin care products in her own workshop.

The skin care products business is clean and not tiring, and the money earned is no less than other trades. Moreover, some of the medicinal secret recipes involved are my mother's treasured collection, and it is not easy for others to imitate them.

This way, not only the family makes money, but the village also makes money, and everyone makes money together, so there won't be so many people who are jealous.

She likes this village and wants to live here for a long time.

Jiang Wan's mind was filled with a lot of confusion, and soon he fell asleep.

Before going to bed, she just felt very hot all over. She thought about asking her mother to come and take a look, but she couldn't open her mouth and fell asleep.

Normally Jiang Wan would tinker with bottles and jars in her room and would not allow anyone to disturb her, so no one in the family thought it was strange that she stayed silent for a long time.

It was almost noon when Anan went to the kitchen and waited for a long time but didn't see Jiang Wan come out, so he started to feel something was wrong.

It’s not that they wait for Jiang Wan to cook every day, but her cooking skills are not good enough. Jiang Wan herself said that she would cook, and Baozhu and Anan would learn together.

In the past, Jiang Wan would go to the kitchen before the time came, but today, she didn't come at the time and didn't say a word in the yard. Anan became suspicious and went to the front of the house and called out a few times.

After calling out for a long time, no one responded. Anan was worried and rushed in without thinking.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Jiang Wan lying on the bed with a rosy face. Anan was startled and quickly picked her up and ran to the pharmacy.

"Master!! Xiao Wan is sick!"
