I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Xiaobei: It’s over again! Can I still sleep well?

Fu Jichang walked in with a smile on his face.

Guoguo stood up and waved at Fu Jichang.

Ji Xiaobei had been coaxing his child for the whole afternoon, and when he was about to fall asleep, he was disturbed by Xiaoyaozi.

She couldn't bear to be mean to the child, so she said to Ji Chang, "You didn't come earlier or later, but had to wait until the child was about to fall asleep. The child can't sleep..."

Guoguo pouted in grievance and looked at Fu Jichang pitifully.

Fu Jichang reached out and took Guoguo.

"Let me get you to sleep, okay?"

Guo Guo: “Okay!”

Fu Jichang held her in his arms and patted her a few times. Guoguo closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Fu Jichang proudly returned the child to Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei glared at him, went into the house and put the child down.

"You are the only one who can do this. Next time, you can come and take care of the child for me!" Ji Xiaobei was unhappy for no reason.

Guoguo is his own daughter, and he can’t coax her into falling asleep as soon as he hugs her.

How infuriating!

"Did you ask me to come here just to coax Guoguo to sleep?" Fu Jichang teased Ji Xiaobei happily.

Ji Xiaobei: Ugh!

The two of them entered Fu Jichang's study one after the other.

Ji Xiaobei took the initiative and sat down on the comfortable armchair.

Fu Jichang sat on a low couch nearby.

"Is there any news about the seeds?" Fu Jichang asked, putting away his smile.

"Yes, plant potatoes and sweet potatoes!" said Ji Xiaobei.

Fu Jichang hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this won't work. The Minister of Agriculture came here and said it's not suitable for planting. We've tried it before, but it didn't grow. We wasted a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes."

Ji Xiaobei said firmly: "Of course the one from the Minister of Agriculture won't work. Mine can grow and mature in three months. I'm sure of that!"

Ji Xiaobei actually felt uneasy as well.

But she couldn't show any hesitation, otherwise the plan would not be implemented.

If you plant, there is hope of a harvest.

"I will provide the seeds and fertilizers. You just need to ensure that the refugees can farm and prevent them from stealing. If you persist for three months, you will see results."

Ji Xiaobei was confident.

Fu Jichang thought for a long time before he made up his mind and said, "How much silver do you need for seeds and fertilizers? I'll go and raise the money!"

"As for the silver, you don't need it for now. Wait until I figure it out and you can give it to me!"

Fu Jichang nodded.

"The government office has made all the preparations. How soon can the seeds arrive? I'll have someone post a notice!" said Fu Jichang.

“How many potatoes and sweet potato vines are needed?”

"The government office plans to reclaim 50 mu for the first time, 30 mu on Xishan Mountain, and 20 mu on Anlian Mountain. We will reclaim more land later on whichever side has better growth."

Ji Xiaobei nodded.

"Then I will order 50 mu of seedlings first, and then deliver them gradually according to your progress."

"Okay, do you need a ox cart or a horse carriage?" Fu Jichang asked.

Ji Xiaobei was stunned: "Ah... I, I need a carriage, right? The goods should be shipped near Xishan Temple!"

Fu Jichang was so nervous that he could hardly speak clearly.

"Xishan Temple, do you want to impose martial law? We need to ensure your absolute safety."

Ji Xiaobei thought for a moment and said, "Isn't there a small temple on the hill behind Xishan Temple? It should be there."

Fu Jichang nodded: "Don't worry, I'll let He Ye go over and guard it personally, no one else will see it!"

"Okay, just let the ox cart pull it when the time comes!" Ji Xiaobei said carelessly.

Fu Jichang was not as calm as her, his palms were sweating.

"Are you really okay with this? Will it cause you any trouble?" Fu Jichang was worried and confirmed again.

"No, you don't have to worry about me. I'll make sure everything goes well!"

Ji Xiaobei patted his chest and stood up.

"I have something else to discuss with you, no, tell you!" Ji Xiaobei glanced at the book on the table.

"what happened?"

"There is a portrait in this book, why do you still keep it?" Ji Xiaobei said angrily.

"Ah..." Fu Jichang smiled, "I forgot about it, I really forgot about it. I'll deal with it now."

Only then did Ji Xiaobei walk out with satisfaction.

"Oh, one more thing?"

"What's the matter? Can you please finish what you are saying?" Fu Jichang asked, stroking his chest.

"That Miss Murong is here to see you! I'll tell you something by the way!"

Fu Jichang immediately became serious: "A case I'm investigating is related to the Murong family. If I'm not mistaken, Old Lady Murong has also been here."

Ji Xiaobei: You guessed it right.

"By the way, you haven't paid me the medical fees you owe me yet!" Ji Xiaobei said again.

Fu Jichang smiled and said, "I remember it all. Go to Golden Leopard and find Tong the shopkeeper. Mention your name and your money will be deposited there."

Ji Xiaobei thought to himself: Golden Leopard? Jiaojiao's money is also stored in Golden Leopard, so it should be a big money box!

"I will let He Ye impose martial law on the back mountain of Xishan Temple now. You can go there anytime." Fu Jichang shouted behind her.

Ji Xiaobei didn't even turn his head, but gestured "OK" with his hand.

Fu Jichang raised his hand and made the same gesture: What do you mean?

As soon as Ji Xiaobei walked out, Old Mrs. Fu came in.

"Grandma!" Fu Jichang walked out of the study and supported the old lady.

"It's okay. I heard some noise in the yard, so I came to take a look!"

Old Madam Fu looked at her grandson and said, "The Murong family has been coming to see us time and again. Is there something going on?"

"Grandma, don't worry. The case I'm investigating may be related to the Murong family, but I'm not sure yet. If someone from the Murong family comes again in the future, just don't meet them."

Fu Jichang said.

Old Mrs. Fu looked worried.

"The Murong family is in the Salt and Iron Department. The Salt and Iron Department has always been the focus of everyone's attention. We have to think twice before doing anything... If it really doesn't work, report it to the higher-ups..."

"I know. I made grandma worried."

The transportation of official salt involved many officials and departments, and the interpersonal relationships involved were complicated.

Mrs. Fu heard a lot of this when she was young.

"Murong Baoqian was a very kind child when she was young, but she changed when she grew up. You have to be careful of her. Women don't go to the hall, but sometimes they can do bad things."

Mrs. Fu instructed.

"Grandma, my grandson knows!"

"Bao Xi has never been engaged. She has you in her heart. Even an old woman like me can see it. What do you think?"

Old Mrs. Fu observed her grandson's expression.

"I, it's impossible. When we were kids, we played together and I treated her as my sister. We haven't seen each other for many years. Things have changed a lot. How could we be together?"

"Then you have to hurry up with your own marriage. There is no end to the investigation of public cases. Once you miss a person, you can never get him back." Old Mrs. Fu said meaningfully.

"I understand, Grandma. Once the refugee issue is resolved, I will..."
