In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

Be away from home for a while.

The He family’s house has actually been repaired.

It's pretty fast.

Also.

It is an adobe house. As long as all the materials are available and there are enough people, it can be built very quickly.

When she went to Lan County, the autumn harvest was coming to an end.

In addition, those from nearby villages who had relatives or friends in Shiliu Village all moved here to seek refuge, just like the Jin family did.

The population of Shiliu Village has exploded now, and there is no shortage of workers.

The more people a construction team has, the faster a house can be built.

The He family now has enough space to live in.

It is due to the influence of the Xirong people that soap is not selling well and I haven’t been making soap recently.

When He Qiudi came back from a walk outside, He Sanlang brought He Qinglu and Jin's two cousins, Sun Yaya and Sun Erlang, to see her.

"Aunt, let's go hunting in the mountains and ask grandma to make us a roasted whole lamb."

He Qiudi reached out and touched He Sanlang's head.

"Sanlang, the Western Rong people have repeatedly invaded the border. They were defeated in Wei County and fled to Phoenix Mountain. Recently, you and the children in the village are not allowed to play by the river or on the other side of the river. Do you understand?"

He Sanlang had no choice but to nod his head lacking interest, then left with his friends.

They were a group of big kids and the village couldn't restrain them at all. They still wanted to run out of the village.

The adults were worried, so they sent people to guard the river and only let them play on this side of the river.

The Xirong people fled in the direction of Phoenix Mountain. Ningyuan County has already responded by sending soldiers to station troops in the fields outside Shiliu Village and patrol Phoenix Mountain. If they find the Xirong people, they can provide support at any time.

He Qiudi looked at the time.

It’s almost five months.

Once the five months are up, it will rain again.

There is no shortage of water in Shiliu Village, and many people were originally planning to plant another season of winter wheat. However, the Xirong people attacked, and everyone was afraid that the crops would be in vain, so they just kept waiting and watching.

Many people even packed up their belongings at home and prepared to evacuate at any time.

I was afraid that Lan County would be captured and Ningyuan County would also be breached.

Fortunately, the Western Rong people suffered a great loss in Lan County, and more than 10,000 people were captured in Wei County.

These more than 10,000 prisoners have been escorted to Lizhou one after another, ready to be used for negotiations with the Western Rong people.

Although she was detained and could not go into the mountains to hunt, Old Lady He did not spoil everyone's fun. She slaughtered chickens and sheep tonight and treated the villagers to a big meal.

Because He Huaiping became the postmaster of Wei County.

He is an official no matter how big or small.

Of course the He family spread the news widely.

Everyone was happy for the He family.

There are also many people who are very jealous.

In other words, He Huaiping had no official title and was only lucky enough to become the postmaster.

He also did not forget to drag down He Huaizhang.

He Huaizhang has been a teacher for so many years, but he is still a low-level teacher. I am afraid that He Huaiping will have to be a postmaster for the rest of his life. Wei County, Lan County and Liu County are extremely dangerous now, and the postmaster is even more dangerous.

It might not be long before he was beheaded by the Xirong people.

Of course, they said these things in private and did not dare to say them in front of the He family.

Some people said this, and some people scolded them.

When the He family heard about it, Old Lady He had no choice but to argue with the other party and even wanted to take back their family's land and give it to the He family in order to reduce or exempt taxes.

Some smart ones thought that the He family was going to become rich, so they ran to the He family to curry favor with them.

In short, there are all kinds of people these days.

Soon, five months had passed.

The autumn harvest is over.

The Western Territory did not need water support for the time being, so He Qiudi made it rain without delay.

If someone observes carefully, they can find some patterns.

The less trouble, the better.

Let’s not have any rain yet.

Five or six days after He Qiudi and his companions returned to Shiliu Village, Wei Sixian and He Qingshu finally rushed back, exhausted.

These days, the Western Rong people did not dare to attack again. Feng Shiyan has led his troops to the junction of Lan County, Jinshan County and Changning County to encircle the Western Rong army.

The troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty would pass by Shiliu Village on their way to Lan County through Ningyuan County.

He Qiudi often saw them.

Although she hadn't seen Feng Shiyan these days, Feng Shiyan asked Yang Jiu to send him letters every day to tell her about the battle situation.

He Qiudi will talk to him.

After they returned to Shiliu Village, Yang Si and Yang Ba went back to Lan County, leaving only Yang Liu and Yang Jiu here.

Originally Yang Ba wanted to stay, but was taken away by Yang Si, who said that it was Yang Yi's instruction.

He Qiudi was a little curious about this.

I read in a novel before that the royal guards were all carefully selected, and each of them was ruthless in carrying out their tasks, like killing machines.

From Yang Yi to Yang Jiu, each has a different personality.

Oh.

She hasn't met Yang Qi yet.

Next time when we meet at the banquet, I will ask him to introduce Yang Qi to me.

When Wei Sixian and He Qingshu returned to the village, they were indeed in a very miserable state.

The Wei family members didn’t come.

He Qiudi didn't know why.

Seeing Wei Sixian, Old Lady He snorted, "Are you willing to come back?"

Wei Sixian cried out that it was unfair.

She said she wanted to come back, but unfortunately the Western Rong people attacked and she and Qingshu were trapped in Wei County. Even if they had wings, they could not come back.

Old Lady He said again, "Well, stop bullying me. If you really wanted to come back, you should have come back when Huai Jin and Huai Bi won the first place in the imperial examination and Huai Zhang sent a letter to Wei County to pick up San Lang. You couldn't come back even when I told you to. Wei County has a treasure. You deserve it for having suffered so much for nothing."

Wei Sixian cried and said, "My mother-in-law is right. I don't deserve it. This is retribution. I didn't listen to my husband and come back in time to take care of the two elders. Now, my mother and brother are gone."

When it came to the passing of Old Lady Wei and County Magistrate Wei, Old Lady He could no longer make fun of Wei Sixian.

Old Mrs. He knew clearly that Wei Sixian's refusal to come back was probably due to the soap.

If Xu Yushi can get the "soap formula", why can't Wei Sixian get it?

I'm afraid Wei Sixian will be more cautious and not reveal her true colors.

But now, the girl's mother and brother had died, and as a mother-in-law, she couldn't be too harsh. She could only say a few words casually and let her go.

He Huaizhang hurried to find Wei Sixian to confirm the death of County Magistrate Wei.

My brother's death was not glorious.

But Wei Sixian didn't dare not say it.

After returning to the house, Wei Sixian told the whole story.

He Huaizhang's face turned pale and he fell to the ground.

"Yan Shi is actually the son of the Crown Prince. It's over. Qiu Di has always been critical of our eldest brother. She will promote the second, fifth and sixth brothers and suppress me."

Wei Sixian pursed her lips and said, "Master, things may not be as bad as you think. It is true that my brother was wrong. I have also asked around in the city. If it were another commander, he would hold the Wei family responsible, but His Royal Highness did not. This shows that he still gives face to everyone in the He family, including you. It depends on whether you can get past Qiu Di and win his favor."

He Huaizhang shook his head somewhat disappointedly.

"It's not like I haven't tried. When he came to Phoenix Mountain to suppress bandits, I tried to curry his favor. Later, in the county government, I didn't even have many opportunities to talk to him. It would be better if Qiu Di could say a few words for me. How about I go and ask my mother to help me?"
