Chapter 188 His face turned liver-colored
Originally, the village chief's family was a little worried that the Wang family would think that this marriage was proposed by the girl's family and would be looked down upon by the Wang family.
Seeing Wang Xiaojiang's face almost turning the color of liver, but still looking like he wanted to prove himself, I felt relieved.
"Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, I know I am not worthy of Lanhua, but I promise that I will treat her well in the future and will never let her suffer any grievances..." After saying that, he secretly glanced at the little girl who was standing behind the village head and his wife with her head down.
After hearing what Wang Xiaojiang said, the village chief and his wife looked at each other again, with satisfaction in their eyes.
The two then turned to look at the shy Lanhua and said with a smile, "Lan'er, what do you think?"
Lanhua's face was flushed at this time. She shouldn't have been here, but she couldn't help but be curious and wanted to hear what Wang Xiaojiang would say.
Now, hearing her parents actually asking for her opinion directly in front of Brother Xiao Jiang, she felt extremely embarrassed. But when she thought about marrying Brother Xiao Jiang in the future, she nodded gently.
When the village head and his wife saw how quickly their daughter nodded, they couldn't help but complain in their hearts, "Daughter, you should be a little more reserved..."
Seeing this, Wang Xiaojiang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Seeing this, the village chief stood up, patted Wang Xiaojiang's shoulder gently, and said, "Okay, in that case, let's settle it. Go back and discuss it with your mother, find a matchmaker to propose marriage, and then we'll choose an auspicious day to get it done."
Wang Xiaojiang agreed repeatedly and asked the chickens to peck at the rice. After thanking the village chief, he hurriedly pulled Tong the shopkeeper and ran out. Tong the shopkeeper wanted to say a few words to the village chief, but he was pulled by the village chief and almost fell to the ground.
The village head and his wife looked at the people who left in a hurry, looked at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had finally put their minds at ease.
Lanhua looked at Wang Xiaojiang's departing back, her eyes full of anticipation and happiness.
When everyone knew that Han Yiyi and her team had brought the rice, they all ran to her house. Seeing that there was not enough rice to exchange, Han Yiyi secretly went into the kitchen and exchanged another 50 kilograms from the system.
Huang Dachuan also brought some mushrooms to exchange. Seeing Huang Dachuan, who was obviously more disheveled and thinner than before and whose eyes were full of fatigue, Han Yiyi hesitated for a moment, but still accepted his mushrooms.
Seeing Han Yiyi accept his mushrooms, Huang Dachuan's eyes showed some complicated emotions. After reaching out to take the rice, he just whispered thank you and turned and left.
Looking at the departing figure, Han Yiyi's eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything.
The next morning, as soon as Han Yiyi got up, she heard Aunt Zhang's anxious voice outside the door.
"Yi Yi, Yi Yi, something bad has happened. People are fighting over mushrooms in the back mountain. You should go and take a look..."
Han Yiyi, who was halfway through yawning, was startled out of her sleepiness when she heard the sound.
When I went to the back mountain with Aunt Zhang, I found out that it was actually two families who started fighting over a mushroom that fell on the ground. They were not sure who dropped it and they both started bleeding.
In fact, on normal days, people would not fight over just one or two mushrooms, but at this moment, they regarded these mushrooms as more important than their lives.
When the two families saw Han Yiyi coming, they stopped and began to explain their reasons.
Han Yiyi was overwhelmed when she heard that the husband and the wife of the two families were right. She didn't know how to deal with this kind of conflict.
In fact, such matters would normally be the responsibility of the village chief, but now it was a special case. After all, it was Han Yiyi who was harvesting the mushrooms, and her home was closest to the back mountain, so Aunt Zhang went directly to find her, thinking that the two families would definitely stop fighting for Han Yiyi's sake.
If Han Yiyi knew what Aunt Zhang was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes in her heart and ask Aunt Zhang what face she had.
However, after Han Yiyi came, the two families did stop fighting, but they stopped using their hands and started using their mouths instead.
Han Yiyi was troubled by the quarrel between the two families. Even her voice of persuasion was drowned out by both sides. Seeing that they were about to turn from verbal violence to physical violence, Han Yiyi started shouting.
"If you quarrel again, we will not accept the mushrooms picked by both of you. I don't know if you will let me know in the future that someone is fighting or quarreling over picking mushrooms, we will not accept their mushrooms..."
Hearing Han Yiyi, the two families immediately shut up and left quickly with their baskets.
In fact, Han Yiyi also knew that the mushrooms in the back mountain were limited after all, and the rice could not be replaced all the time. Looking at their backs as they left, her eyes flashed and she turned around and went back home.
Yun Xiao looked at Han Yiyi, who had been keeping her head down and silent since she came back, and couldn't help but ask.
"But I'm worried..."
"Zhushan Village is close to the mountain, and there are mushrooms and wild vegetables to pick to fill their stomachs. Now they will make a big fuss for a few mushrooms. What would the situation be like if there were no mushrooms to pick and no wild vegetables to eat..."
What's going on? Now there's a flood, and those unscrupulous grain shops are taking the opportunity to raise the price of rice and make a fortune from the national disaster.
It seemed that those ordinary people must have sold their children, and in serious cases, they might even eat their own children. However, Yun Xiao was worried that Han Yiyi would feel even more uncomfortable after hearing these things, so he did not say anything about them, but spoke softly.
"You are doing very well now. You are not a god and cannot help all of them. These matters are taken care of by people in the court. Don't think too much..."
At this time, Yun Xiao admitted that Han Yiyi was not a god.
In fact, compared with other places, the situation in Zhushan Village is not a little better. At least they not only have mushrooms and wild vegetables to eat, but now Han Yiyi exchanges rice for them. Even if they can't eat their fill, at least they won't starve to death.
After hearing Yun Xiao's words, the heaviness in Han Yiyi's eyes did not lessen, but she spoke softly again.
"Maybe, I can do more..."
As soon as Han Yiyi finished speaking, Yun Xiao saw piles of "grass" suddenly appear in front of him. Well, that's not right. It doesn't seem like grass. The leaves are obviously larger than this grass. Yun Xiao couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This, what is this..."
"Sweet potatoes, sweet potato seedlings..."
"Food..." Yun Xiao thought to himself, this doesn't seem to be as good as rice in resisting hunger.
"It can be eaten, but not now. It can be used for planting. It not only has a high yield, but also a short growth cycle. With this thing, everyone doesn't have to worry about going hungry anymore..."
"If we plant it now, when will we eat it..."
