Xing Rui never expected that Han Quanquan would ask these questions.
"Ah……"
Unexpectedly, someone has actually been to the mountainous area recently. It seems that if Han Quanquan is not given an explanation, this matter may not be resolved.
"Brother Han, since you asked this, I won't hide it from you."
"oh?"
Han Quanquan didn't expect Xing Rui to admit it so readily, and was a little curious about how Xing Rui would explain the matter next.
"Actually, I put things in the field to drive away wild boars from the mountains that would harm the cabbage. I didn't expect that I would scare everyone like this."
"Put something away?"
Han Quanquan looked at Xing Rui in confusion.
"Oh, it's just some small gadgets, like wind chimes, hanging in the trees, whenever someone walks by or a wild animal comes near.
When the wind blows, they make strange sounds."
Han Quanquan asked a bit suddenly. Xing Rui thought of wind chimes, so she casually mentioned wind chimes.
"Wind chimes?"
Han Quanquan seemed to have never heard of such a thing, and Xing Rui smiled when she saw him like this.
"Okay, I will make one for Brother Han when I have time. You will understand when you see it."
Seeing Xing Rui's magnanimous look, Han Quanquan felt relieved.
People in the village are saying these days that Xing Rui is possessed by evil spirits, although this is not credible.
But if there are too many people talking, everyone will be in danger if they make a fuss. As the leader of "Dahe Village",
Han Quanquan must give everyone an explanation.
"Okay, you make one, and I'll show it to everyone, so they won't talk nonsense everywhere."
Doesn't Xing Rui know this truth, wind chime?
What materials should be used to make a wind chime? After thinking about it, the two people came to the wooden bridge at the head of the village.
There was a storm overnight, and the entire water surface of the Mangniu River rose a lot, but fortunately it stopped.
"It only rained one night, and the water is so heavy. We really need to build the bridge quickly."
"Then, does Brother Han, the stone pier who makes the bridge piers, have any ideas?"
Xing Rui gave Han Quanquan the drawings he had drawn a few days ago. He did not expect that Xing Rui would propose using stones to make stone piers.
There is indeed a stone on the back mountain. There are all the stones, but how to cut it and bring it back is really difficult for Han Quanquan.
"If that doesn't work, go find a mason. They have the experience to do this work, but we don't."
Xing Rui also knew that there wasn't much money available in the village, but things like Shidun really couldn't be fooled, and it wasn't something that inexperienced ordinary people could do on their own.
"That's all we can do. The stone piers are ready and the bridge is repaired. Once completed, the bridge will last for hundreds of years."
"Hundreds of years?"
Han Quanquan was frightened by Xing Rui's words. In fact, Xing Rui really wanted to tell him,
There are many stone bridges that are more than a hundred years old. There are many stone bridges that are hundreds of years old, but I dare not say whether they can do it.
"Yes, if it is repaired once every hundred years, it can be considered once and for all. The descendants of 'Dahe Village' will also benefit from it."
"Well, you're right, but I'm afraid everyone has to chip in to get the money."
It was easy to say that, but Xing Rui could see that Han Quanquan also had a distressed look on his face.
With this kind of fund-raising without obvious returns, I'm afraid no one will be willing to spend money to repair the bridge.
This is basically to raise funds. Of course, Han has the right to force others to come up with money, so this is a bit difficult to handle.
"Can you look for some money from above?"
Xing Rui asked carefully, but Han Quanquan shook his head vigorously.
"The imperial court doesn't have money to repair the official roads, so why would it give us money to build the bridge? To build this bridge, we have to find a way ourselves."
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult."
Xing Rui was telling the truth, and when she looked at the turbulent river, her brows were furrowed.
"If you want to repair this bridge, there is actually another way."
"Oh, what can I do?"
Han Quanquan quickly looked at Xing Rui.
"Didn't Dahe Village also have officials in recent years? Why don't we ask them for help?
If it’s not enough, everyone is watching and working together, it should be enough.”
"Who said anything about Hong Churen?"
The only official in Dahe Village may be Hong Churen, Xing Rui smiled lightly,
"I'll pay thirty taels of silver. After all, my medical clinic is open. Once the stone bridge is repaired, my business will also be good."
Han Quanquan was really shocked when he heard Xing Rui asked for thirty taels of silver.
"Sister Xing Rui, it seems that people in the village say that you are rich. Is this really true?"
"Brother Han doesn't know whether I'm going to make a fortune or not?"
After hearing this, Han Quanquan's cheeks turned red and he hurriedly said,
"Okay, if you can collect thirty taels of silver, then I, Han, have the right to come up with ten taels of silver."
Xing Rui knew that it was not easy for Han Quanquan to come up with ten taels of silver. He did have some money, but Xing Rui also knew that he planned to build a house in the coming year.
Building a house is not a small sum of money. Seeing that there are more people in the family, the burden is naturally heavier.
"I feel ashamed to say it. I should have brought out more, but we, hehe..."
Xing Rui rarely saw Han Quanquan's embarrassed smile.
"Brother Han, you are thinking too much. Didn't I just say it? The repair of this bridge will also be good for my medical center. I should get thirty taels of silver."
The two walked along the river bed again and came out with their feet covered in mud.
At this time, the sky had already brightened up. Xing Rui was walking towards home and happened to see Liang Sheng walking over carrying a bucket of soy milk.
"finish watching?"
"Um,"
This was a normal conversation on weekdays, but the two of them were obviously a little reserved, and they didn't even dare to look at each other.
"I'll give the soy milk to Aunt Wang and the others first."
"Let's go and see."
Xing Rui looked at the muddy road after the rain. It seemed that Han Quan had to do a good job in improving the "Dahe Village". There really was a lot of work to be done.
As they were walking, suddenly a man shouted something unknown and ran towards Xing Rui and Liang Sheng.
"careful……"
Liang Sheng carefully pulled Xing Rui into his arms.
And the person who ran over wiped Xing Rui's clothes and ran over.
"Isn't this Xu Youcai? Why did he run out alone?"
Xing Rui didn't see anyone behind her, and looking at Xu Youcai's abnormal look, she knew that he must have sneaked out on his own.
"You go first, and I'll see what's going on with this guy."
"Give me the bucket, and you go and chase the person back. It looks like he escaped on his own."
Liang Sheng handed the bucket of soy milk to Xing Rui, turned around, and stepped on the mud,
He chased after Xu Youcai's retreating figure.
Xing Rui was carrying a bucket of soy milk and was about to walk towards her mother-in-law's house. She didn't want to see Hou Yufeng running out of the house with disheveled hair.
"Have wealth, have wealth, have wealth..."
"I just ran over and my man chased me."
Hou Yufeng stopped suddenly and looked at Xing Rui with resentment in her eyes.
"snort……"
Inexplicably, he snorted coldly at Xing Rui and raised her feet to chase after her.
