Regarding such topics, Jiang Gu never paid much attention and only wanted to focus on eating. Only Jiang Xia, Zhou Lan, and Jiang Chuan would seriously discuss it.

After listening to Zhou Lan, Jiang Xia looked up from her bowl and asked, “Why would he try to hinder us? I remember we don’t have much interaction with their family. Even when we led everyone to forage for wild vegetables, the women from his family were among the most enthusiastic.”

Zhou Lan explained, “Wang Xing’s wife and Jiang Gui’s wife came from the same village and got married into our village the same year. They are very close. Before the Sun family was driven out, Sun Li’s wife and the other two were often seen together.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xia understood. Birds of a feather flock together. If she is so close with Jiang Gui’s wife, she must have had some grievances against the Jiang family and must have bad-mouthed them in private.

If Wang Xing becomes the accountant, the proposal by Jiang Chuan about exchanging the grains for the one thousand kilos of seeds would surely be denied.

Jiang Chuan now looked worried, “We are short on accountants in the village. Many who tried made mistakes after just a day or two. The position has been vacant for a month. Now that someone is eager to fill the role, we don’t really have much choice, do we?”

The dining table fell silent as the three pondered on how to resolve the issue.

Suddenly, Zhou Lan had an idea, “Hubby, why don’t you become the accountant? Last time, you managed the grain distribution so well. You’d definitely be a better accountant than Wang Xing!”

Jiang Xia chimed in, “Yes, Dad, having a position in the village makes it easier to benefit the villagers. Otherwise, people always think you have ulterior motives when you do good.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan was indeed tempted. His business aspirations were always tied to the village’s development, ensuring a better life for the villagers. Becoming an accountant would aid his plans.

“After 1 finish eating, I’ll go speak with the captain to see the best way to arrange this.”

Jiang Chuan prepared half a basket of wild mushrooms, two big fish, and a basket of river shrimps to bring to the chief captain’s house.

At this time, Jiang Xia was planting different seeds in the vegetable field.

After the last trip to the city where they exchanged herbs for money, Jiang Xia cleared the vegetable field. They now had plenty of grains, so she hadn’t planted any vegetables, leaving the field empty. With the new seeds she purchased, it was the perfect time to plant.

Remembering the past, Jiang Xia knew Jiang Gu loved watermelons, so she dedicated two plots for watermelons and planted sorghum, wheat, and cabbages on another plot.

With one plot still vacant, Jiang Xia planned to search the mountain in a couple of days for more seeds.

Since the last upgrade of the interspace, there hadn’t been any notifications, leaving Jiang Xia clueless about how many more plants or animals were needed to complete the interspace mission and upgrade again.

When Jiang Chuan knocked, Wan Fang, the chief captain’s wife, answered the door.

Initially, she only opened a crack to peek out, probably cautious due to the daily gift-bearing visitors. They had never experienced such attention in all their years in Pushan Village.

Seeing it was Jiang Chuan, she sighed in relief and fully opened the door. Upon seeing the basket Jiang Chuan carried, she courteously remarked, “Why bring things when you visit?”

Jiang Chuan stepped into the courtyard, which was empty, showing they hadn’t accepted gifts from anyone. However, Wan Fang didn’t refuse Jiang Chuan’s basket, perhaps the previous gift had an effect.

Placing his basket down, Jiang Chuan replied, “I was in the city recently and saw these fresh fish and shrimps, so I thought of bringing some for you.”

At this moment, the chief captain stepped out, “Jiang Chuan, don’t be busy. Come inside; I have something to discuss with you.”

To Jiang Chuan’s surprise, the chief captain wanted to discuss the accountant position. The chief captain had expressed wanting Jiang Chuan to be the accountant before, but Jiang Chuan had forgotten.

Instead of immediately showing his interest in the position, Jiang Chuan said, “Captain, hold on. I also have something important to discuss. On my trip to the city, I found someone selling seeds. This person has one thousand kilos of seeds, and I want to buy them and distribute them to the villagers..”𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘯𝑜𝓋𝘦𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝓂
