I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

Shen Rong was surrounded by the villagers of Taohua Village. Originally, everyone wanted to inquire about Shen Rong and her family's situation in the capital, but when Shen Rong said that their family wanted to renovate the old house in Taohua Village, the villagers immediately stopped bothering to inquire about those things. They crowded in front of Shen Rong to build relationships with her, hoping that the men in their families could go to work for Shen Rong's family and earn some money for the household.

After all, listening to gossip is not as important as money.

Shen Rong looked at the familiar faces that crowded in front of her and felt a little dazed for a moment.

Taohua Village is still the same village, and the villagers are still the same villagers.

The only change is that a lot of blue brick and tile houses have been built in the village over the years.

When the gold and silver flowed out of the ancient tomb in the west of the village, almost every household in the village picked up the things and took them back. Later, the villagers either built large blue brick and tile houses or bought fields.

In short, the lives of the people in the village are getting better and better.

The blue brick and tile house of Shen Rong's mother's family is no longer the best house in the village.

On the contrary, the old house where she and Changsheng lived has become the worst house in the village.

When Sixth Grandpa and Sixth Grandma were on the way, they said that they would only need to make some repairs. However, after Shen Rong saw the rows of new houses in the village and then looked at her own adobe house, she felt that this house could not be so simple as just repairing it. At the very least, the adobe walls had to be demolished and blue brick walls had to be built on the original foundation.

Shen Rong walked around the old house and finally stopped to rest at Liu Jinfeng's house next door.

Liu Jinfeng's family also built a new house in the past two years, which looks quite grand.

Her son Shitou was sent to school for a few years, but it was discovered that he was not cut out for studying. After he learned to read, he was sent to an old accounting office in the town to learn how to do accounting.

Ergouzi still looked thin, but after getting the unexpected money, he gradually bought some land and rented it out. So he and his wife would never have to worry about food and drink in their lives.

Life has become better now, and Liu Jinfeng has not changed much in the past few years. She is still as lively and vibrant as ever.

Although Liu Jinfeng is over 30 years old, she looks more energetic than Shen Rong and this woman in her early twenties.

"Sanniang, why hasn't Changsheng come back?" Liu Jinfeng was naturally surprised to see Shen Rong suddenly come back alone, and he also heard some speculations from others.

Thinking that they had a close relationship in the past, Liu Jinfeng couldn't help but ask.

Everyone had naturally heard that Changsheng had become the wandering bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion in the capital. So when the villagers saw Shen Rong suddenly coming back alone, how could they not think too much?

Some people even secretly wondered in their hearts whether Changsheng, after becoming the young master of the Marquis's Mansion, despised Shen Rong, a country girl, and divorced her, which is why Shen Rong returned to Taohua Village alone.

There are actually quite a few people who think this way, but no one would casually ask such hurtful questions at this time.

Liu Jinfeng looked at Shen Rong's increasingly beautiful face, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

Sanniang is pretty, but her status is low. I heard that Changsheng returned to Beijing to inherit the Marquis's Mansion, but Changsheng...

Liu Jinfeng couldn't help feeling a little worried when he thought about what the villagers were saying behind his back.

Shen Rong was silent for a while. Sixth Grandfather and Sixth Grandma were going back to the village to retire. It was not easy to hide Changsheng's affairs from Liu Jinfeng, so she told her that Changsheng had an accident while suppressing bandits and had not returned yet, and also mentioned that Sixth Grandfather and Sixth Grandma were coming back to build a cenotaph for Changsheng.

After hearing what Shen Rong said, Liu Jinfeng was stunned for a long time.

She couldn't imagine what it would be like for that silly tall guy to go fight bandits.

She opened her mouth for a long time before she slapped her thigh and howled, "This damned bandit deserves a horrible death!"

Then he pulled Shen Rong aside to comfort her.

Liu Jinfeng was afraid that Shen Rong would feel bad, so he cursed at her viciously and then abruptly changed the subject.

"Sanniang, did you hear about Gu Xiucai coming back to his hometown some time ago?"

Liu Jinfeng is more accustomed to calling Gu Zhaoming "Scholar".

Although Gu Zhaoming returned to his hometown to take the imperial examinations and become a Jinshi, he left right after taking the exams and did not return to Taohua Village. He also did not give the villagers a chance to adapt. Everyone's impression of Gu Zhaoming still remains on the time when he was a scholar.

"I heard about the news that he returned home in the capital. What's wrong?" Shen Rong nodded. After Gu Zhaoming and Chen Yuan divorced, she did pay attention to Gu Zhaoming's whereabouts, but after he left Beijing, she hadn't heard from him since.

Liu Jinfeng looked gloating, "You may not know, but I heard that Gu Zhaoming encountered bandits on his way home and had one of his fingers chopped off! He is disabled and can't be an official in the future."

Shen Rong was shocked. She never thought that Gu Zhaoming would encounter such a thing. She just felt relieved in her heart.

If she had been reborn and had the strength to hurt people, she might have broken the man's hand, making it impossible for him to move forward.

But it was better this way. How could someone who had reached the top be content with mediocrity? This feeling of loss was more painful than if she had crippled his hand as soon as she arrived.

"Then what?" Shen Rong asked hurriedly.

Liu Jinfeng put away her gloating expression and said with some envy, "Talented people are different. When Gu Zhaoming's hand was broken, he spread the word that he was going to do something like... teach and educate people. During that time when he lived in the village, I don't know how many people came to see him in carriages, and those carriages of gifts were like free gifts..."

Liu Jinfeng once again felt that sending her children to school was a wise move.

Shen Rong didn't feel uncomfortable when she heard that Gu Zhaoming was still so successful even though his hand was broken. "That's good too. If he opens a private school in the village, it will be convenient for our children to go to school."

Not only Shen Rong thought so, but also the villagers and Liu Jinfeng thought so.

Now everyone has some money. Not to mention sending their children to school for more than ten years, at least sending them to school for two years to help them learn to read is also good.

"People in our village think so too. The clan leaders of each clan in the village have already discussed with Gu Zhaoming where to build the school. However, Gu Zhaoming said that he had some things to deal with. After leaving the village, he has not returned since and has not sent any news. We don't know what the clan leaders' rules are!"

Shen Rong didn't think much about it. She looked around Liu Jinfeng's yard and said, "Sister-in-law, the clan leaders will take care of the school. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Brother Ergou to repair my house."

Liu Jinfeng was delighted, "Don't worry, leave it to me! I will definitely keep an eye on Er Gouzi and make sure he gets the job done beautifully for you!"

Shen Rong's family no longer lives in the village, and only Shen Wu and his wife come back occasionally to check on the house, so it is more convenient to leave the task of building the house to Liu Jinfeng and his wife.

The two talked for a while, and in the blink of an eye it was noon.

Shen Rong had dinner at Liu Jinfeng's house before leaving Taohua Village.

Before leaving, Shen Rong gave part of the money for renovating the house to Liu Jinfeng.

"Sister-in-law, these are the money to buy materials and hire workers. If it's not enough, please tell me again. As for the layout of the house, let's keep it the same as before!"

Although Sixth Grandpa is old, there is no doctor in the village. After they come back, the doctor's job will probably have to continue, and the pharmacy still has to be prepared. The old house has a good layout, so it would be better not to change it, but just replace the adobe walls with blue bricks.
