Chapter 217 Infrastructure
He Qiuniang didn't think she had done anything wrong. "I wasn't betraying you. I was just considering the overall situation. If anything goes wrong in the garden, both you and I will be punished. Besides, I was only telling the truth. You didn't lose anything."
Hu Dangui sneered, "How can you be so shameless? How come I didn't suffer any losses? We were all taken in as slaves by Madam while fleeing. If you hadn't used those dirty tricks to pull me down, how could Madam value me and be where I am today?"
The Madam clearly valued her equally before. If she hadn't resorted to trickery, the Madam might have been planning to promote her to be a manager.
"Do you think the Madam doesn't value you because I told her about your shortcomings?"
He Qiuniang also became angry and said with a long face, "Madam doesn't value you because you are not clear-headed. Don't you think you and that man are good things? I advise you to think clearly, if not for yourself, then at least think about your brother."
"What happened to my brother? You want to harm my brother again and go to Madam to tell lies, right?" Hu Dangui widened his eyes in anger, wishing he could go over and pull He Qiuniang's hair and stomp her hard into the mud.
He Qiuniang said, "You really don't know how to appreciate a good person. I'm saying that your man is not a good person. Your brother is running errands for the general. Don't say anything you shouldn't say, or you might implicate your brother."
"What? If you don't find a man, you won't let me find one? What's wrong with my man? You say every day that my man is not a good guy. I think you are just jealous and can't stand seeing others do well."
He Qiuniang was too lazy to argue with him, so she just said, "Think whatever you want," and turned away.
Hu Dangui looked at her back and became more and more angry. He returned home angrily.
"I think that woman surnamed He has bad intentions!" A man came out of the room, touched Hu Dangui's chest, poured some sugar water on her, and advised her, "Drink some sugar water, don't ruin your health because of that irrelevant person's anger."
Looking at the man's gentle and considerate appearance, Hu Dangui felt more and more that He Qiuniang was jealous of her, and she started complaining to the man.
"You also told me to be careful with you, lest you harm my brother. Runlang, will you harm me?"
Yi Run's eyes flickered, but he quickly hid his strangeness. His tone was gentle, but he unconsciously brought out a bit of grievance, "How could I harm you? Gui Niang, you can't just let the woman surnamed He instigate you and blindly suspect me."
Hu Dangui suddenly felt that what he had just said was wrong. He cursed He Qiuniang and apologized. After a while, the man put away his hurt expression and said with concern: "Two families moved in from the neighboring village recently. I heard that it's very chaotic outside. Many families were killed by the Xirong people. I don't know..."
He didn't say the rest, but Hu Dangui couldn't help but think of her family.
At that time, the family lost its pillar, and I fled with my mother's family, but we eventually got separated.
As a woman with a child and a younger brother, she was only thinking about how to survive and had no time to think about anything else.
When she first settled down in Zhounan Village, she had no ability to look for her family. Now...
But the outside world was in chaos, and she couldn't do anything even though she missed him.
Yi Run said, "Don't be too sad. Isn't Yan'er serving the general? When he becomes successful, it will be easy for him to find out about his parents."
"It's so chaotic outside, I'm afraid..." Hu Dangui didn't dare to say the rest of the unlucky words.
Yi Run casually said, "Brother Yan is so successful now, it won't be difficult for him to find out some information."
"This is not a good idea!" Hu Dangui thought of He Qiuxiang's words and hesitated.
Yirun did not try to persuade him any further, as if he had just said it casually.
Hu Dangui immediately suspected that she was overthinking it and thought to herself that she should wait until she saw her brother next time and talk to him about it.

Jiang Tangtang stayed in Zhounan Village for only one day before returning to the government office. The first thing he did when he got back was to call people over and arrange for the popular science event.
Of course, this popularization is carried out in the form of free medical consultation.
She selected suitable female doctors to visit each village and diagnose the women there. After the free clinics were over, she would gather the villagers together to educate them about the harms of premature childbirth.
Of course, in addition to the harm that premature childbirth can bring to women's health, it will also popularize some medical knowledge that has long been popular in modern times.
For example, during childbirth, the midwife must wash her hands first, and all birthing utensils must be sterilized at high temperatures. There's also information on first aid for someone who falls into the water. What first aid should be used if a child chokes on food? There are also questions about the signs of heatstroke and how to provide first aid after a heatstroke.
These were first taught by Jiang Tangtang to the female doctor, who then taught the villagers through the free clinic.
For modern people, most of these are already common knowledge, but for people of this dynasty, they are too trendy.
Many female doctors were skeptical about the knowledge taught by Jiang Tangtang.
It wasn't until this day when a female doctor encountered a drowning child on the road and rescued the child using the method taught by Jiang Tangtang that everyone stopped doubting.
At the same time, the news that Jiang Tangtang organized a group of female doctors and taught them how to bring people back to life also spread.
When they heard that these female doctors were going to the countryside to provide free medical services and teach people the techniques that Jiang Tangtang taught them, everyone was very excited. Many villagers came to ask when the female doctors would provide free medical services.
In addition to the villagers, many doctors from medical clinics also came, expressing their willingness to go out and provide free medical services like the doctor and to contribute to the court.
Jiang Tangtang originally wanted to improve the medical knowledge of the entire population, so she would naturally welcome any doctors who volunteered to join.
However, in order not to delay patients' daily medical consultations, Jiang Tangtang only selected two representatives from each state. These two representatives would first learn and then pass on their knowledge to other doctors.
She also didn't have time to teach everyone these first aid methods every day, so she picked out two of the best female doctors from the ones she taught initially, and had them teach in her place.
Improving the quality of the entire population cannot be accomplished in a day or two. Sometimes it takes ten or eight years to see initial results.
Jiang Tangtang didn't put too much energy into it. As soon as the matter was arranged, she went to get busy with other things.
The climate in Lingnan allows crops to be grown in winter, and even in some warmer areas, crops like rice can be grown. Even in areas with colder winters, cold-resistant crops can be grown, or straw can be used to keep crops warm, allowing for winter planting.
Jiang Tangtang arranged for agricultural officials to go to the village to explain to the villagers who had newly moved to Lingnan the crops that could be planted in winter; at the same time, he arranged for people to repair rivers, canals, etc. during the winter.
