After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 520 The Village Chief Comes to Ask for a Job

However, the level of luxury was something Su Xiaoxiao hadn't expected.

Just how rich is Song Ziyang's family?

When she arrived at Song Ziyang's house, she saw for herself that he was indeed very wealthy, and the birthday party was extravagant to an unimaginable degree.

As for what was eaten at the birthday party, it was an abundance of delicacies, practically everything imaginable. It's no exaggeration to say that Su Xiaoxiao had never seen so much delicious food in her life.

The key is that here you can be completely unrestrained and do whatever you want without anyone telling you what to do.

Su Xiaoxiao felt really happy and joyful at Song Ziyang's home.

At least you can be unrestrained, and even a little excited.

Song Ziyang gave Su Xiaoxiao a set of clothes and even used a very nice carriage to send her back to the village.

As a result, rumors started circulating among some people in the village.

A rural woman spat on the ground, "You little slut. I knew she'd been eating and dressing well lately; turns out she's been doing something shady."

"That's right. She looks like a vixen. It seems like she went to town to see an old man, right? They spent money on clothes for her and even sent her back in a sedan chair."

Some nosy villagers went up to her and asked, "Do you know who Gu Qianqian seduced? Do we know each other?"

"Who else could she be seducing? It must be some rich man in town, otherwise, where would she get so much money?"

"Yeah, how could a country girl like her possibly be interested in someone? She must have done something seductive."

"Oh dear, those seductive things you mentioned, if you and I wanted to do them, we could do the same thing. It's just that we're both too shy to do anything that goes against morality."

"Isn't it?"

"Mainly because Su Xiaoxiao is good-looking, and she's willing to sell herself."

"What evidence do you have that they sold it in town?"

The ringleader continued, "What evidence do we need? Look at Su Xiaoxiao's expression; that's the strongest evidence."

"But if she's already hooked up with a rich man in town, why is she still coming back to do farm work and go hunting in the mountains?"

Some people expressed their incomprehension.

"You just don't understand, do you? Maybe that rich man was attracted to her because she's hardworking and down-to-earth. Sigh, you can never figure out what's on the mind of the rich!"

"Yes, if we can't figure it out, we should just focus on taking good care of our own crops. Let's not worry about what other people are doing."

Finally, a righteous person stepped forward and interrupted the village gossip station's broadcast.

The person who started the rumor was also silenced. She seemed very unwilling, thinking to herself that no rumor spread by me was ever ineffective.

Is it possible that Su Xiaoxiao is protected by some deity, so that no one can touch her?

The gossip didn't spread successfully today; the person walked away dejectedly.

In the evening, Su Xiaoxiao returned home and heard someone knocking on the door.

She heard footsteps and hurried to open the door. She was stunned when she saw who was standing there.

It was Liu Qiaomei, and she was holding one of her own clothes in her hand.

These clothes have been washed and were previously lent to Liu Qiaomei by Su Xiaoxiao.

I didn't expect Liu Qiaomei to be in such good condition. The clothes smelled so good, and even after washing, they still smelled of flowers. I wonder what she used to wash them.

After Liu Qiaomei left, Su Xiaoxiao realized she hadn't asked Liu Qiaomei what she used to wash the clothes. Gu Qianqian knew that Liu Qiaomei always exuded a feminine charm; she was very well-behaved and the type of woman many men liked.

It seems I need to learn more from Liu Qiaomei. Gu Qianqian is always associated with archery and hunting, and has never thought about becoming more feminine.

Gu Qianqian may appear masculine on the surface, but deep down she's a gentle girl. Just as she was about to close the door and go to sleep, someone spoke outside.

"Miss Su, are you asleep?"

It was the village chief's voice, and Su Xiaoxiao quickly went to open the door.

"Here's the thing, we want you to lead our whole village up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs. See if you can help help the whole village get rich."

Su Xiaoxiao had also thought of this before. In fact, she discovered that the cave did indeed contain many rare medicinal herbs.

If everyone in the village could go there, it could truly help the entire village become wealthy. That would certainly be considered a good deed.

However, Su Xiaoxiao made it clear from the start that if anyone wanted to go up the mountain with me to dig for medicinal herbs, they had to listen to me in everything. And no half-hearted efforts were allowed. The cave was still full of dangers, so please follow my instructions.

Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately agreed.

“That’s a must. I’ll explain this to the villagers and make sure they all follow your instructions. If you say east, they absolutely won’t go west.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao replied, "That's not necessarily true."

"If everyone can guarantee that they can do it, I believe our village will definitely be able to earn a lot of money on its own."

When the village chief heard Su Xiaoxiao say that, his face naturally beamed like a steamed bun.

"Then let's do it this way."

"it is good."

After seeing the village chief off, Su Xiaoxiao was finally able to get a good night's sleep.

However, before the village chief left, he inquired about Song Ziyang's family background.

"That young master Song who's with you seems quite extraordinary. Is he just a medicinal herb supplier? I think his background is anything but simple; could he be the son of some high-ranking official in the capital?"

The village chief was deliberately trying to get information out of Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I don't know. I've only known him for a few days."

As the village chief left, he muttered to himself, "I think this man is no ordinary person. If he were just a regular merchant, would he be able to speak with the county magistrate?"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't respond, and the village chief then left.

The next day, Song Ziyang came to see Su Xiaoxiao.

What are you doing here so early in the morning?

Song Ziyang said, "Of course I'm here to ask you to return the money to me!"

"What money are you going to pay back?"

"The money I gave you for the medicinal herbs before!"

Su Xiaoxiao was both angry and amused.

"Do not make jokes."

"Never mind then. Actually, I have something to ask you. I heard you can design houses, and I just built a new study. I'd like to ask you to design it for me!"

"How did you know?"

Su Xiaoxiao felt something was strange.

"I learned it from Qian Musheng. I never imagined that you not only have superb medical skills, but also know how to grow medicinal herbs, and I never imagined that you could even design your own house."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know how to design medicinal herbs before. She just happened to be bored during her time travel and casually flipped through some books on architecture.

Through this process, I've come to understand a little bit.
