On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

Patriarch Chen suppressed his excitement and asked in a deep voice, "How many people are needed? Are there any requirements for the candidates?"

Song Xile thought for a moment and said, "The candidates are around 30 to 40 people, but they must know each other well and be honest and hardworking."

When Chief Chen heard her say this, he was excited. They actually needed so many people! He could also inform those families in the village who were struggling to make a living and had to borrow food to survive.

He immediately promised: "Just leave this matter to me. I will definitely help you keep a close eye on it and prevent those sneaky people from getting involved!"

Song Xile thanked him, "In that case, thank you very much, uncle!"

Patriarch Chen waved his hands repeatedly, "I want to thank you on behalf of everyone!"

He really didn't expect that he only came here to congratulate, but he didn't expect that the big stone that was hanging in his heart would be resolved.

At this point, Patriarch Chen could no longer stay, so after bidding farewell to the two men, he immediately led his men to handle the matter.

After the group left, Chen Yunyou looked at his wife and asked, "Do you want to hire them to deter people who might want to take over Pumpkin?"

Song Xile nodded, "That's just one aspect. I do have work that needs help?"

"Come on, accompany me to the city first, and we can talk while we walk!"

Chen Yunyou readily followed his wife's footsteps, and the two walked into the city together.

After leaving the village, Song Xile told her about her plan, "I want to buy the mountain with undercurrents in my mother's home. When the time comes, I will clean up the mountain. There is water in the mountain. Whether I sow seeds to continue planting pumpkins or planting medicinal herbs, it will be a good choice!"

Chen Yunyou thought about it and thought that this was indeed a good idea.

Due to the drought, many fields have been abandoned, and the tribesmen who are living in poverty can no longer rely on helping others to farm to make a living.

He suddenly looked at his wife with a hint of understanding, and asked with a faint smile, "Is this the reason why you asked my second brother to buy so much food from the beginning?"

Song Xile did not deny it. She nodded and said very frankly:

"Before we left, my father-in-law was very dissatisfied with you. I thought that as long as we make good friends with the tribe members, the tribe members will not ignore my father-in-law if he embarrasses you in the future!"

Then Song Xile wanted to use force to tie his people and Yun You together.

In this way, the husband will not be alone and powerless and be threatened by his father-in-law with "filial piety".

Chen Yunyou felt a pain in his heart as he listened to his wife's words. How could he have deserved to marry a wife who would always protect him?

Chen Yun stepped forward and took the initiative to hold his wife's hand, blushing and saying, "Xi Le, I'm sorry for marrying you!"

Song Xile held his hand back and said, "As long as you don't let me down, I won't feel wronged!"

Chen Yunyou stood on the official road holding his wife's hand, not caring about the occasional glances from passers-by.

He said with a scorching gaze: "I, Chen Yunyou, am the only person in my life. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die without a burial place!"

Song Xile's eyes were filled with smiles. She raised her red lips and said, "Okay!"

She doesn't believe in oaths or promises. She is willing to trust the person in front of her and work hard for their future.

If one day she finds out that he has forgotten their original intention, then there will be no need for God’s punishment, she will take action herself!

Chen Yunyou was not frightened by his wife's answer. Instead, when he saw his wife's serious look, he happily shook her hand and took her to continue walking towards the county town.

In fact, he has always had a sense of inferiority in his heart. He clearly knows that his wife chose him because she was forced to do so by the circumstances.

If Mingyuan had not broken off the engagement, Xile would not have chosen to marry him now.

After marriage, the more he spent time with his wife, the more he wanted to be close to her, and the closer he got to her, the greedier he became.

He greedily wanted his wife to love him as much as he did, and they loved each other.

Until just now, when he looked into his wife Chen Che's eyes, he was sure that his wife also liked him. How could he not be happy?

If the occasion was not right, he would definitely hug his wife and cheer!

Song Xile also clearly felt the good mood of her husband.

He had a smile on his face all the way and never let go of her hand.

Until the two men arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by the gatekeeper and asked to show their household registration.

Chen Yunyou was slightly stunned, then asked with a smile: "When was this rule made?"

The gatekeeper looked Chen Yunyou up and down and saw that he looked like a scholar, so he patiently explained:

"The county magistrate has ordered that from today onwards, all citizens entering the city must show their household registration before they can enter the city."

The couple looked at each other and saw a hint of uneasiness in each other's eyes. Under what circumstances did local people need to check their household registration when entering the city?

Nanyun County is just a medium-sized county, not like a provincial capital. How could it possibly check the household registration of the people?

unless....

Unless it is to prevent foreign victims!

When Song Xile thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but feel worried.

She and Yun You were just commoners, so it was difficult for them to get accurate information.

In the entire county, the person who knows the current situation best is probably the county magistrate!

Thinking of this, Song Xile felt even more inclined to go to the county government office, but neither he nor Yun You brought their household registration documents with them.

Now she was in no mood to go back and get it.

So, she thought about it, took out a silver coin from her purse, and stuffed the money directly into the gatekeeper's hand.

"Brother officer, please be flexible. My husband is a student at Yunshan Academy. He just came back from the capital yesterday after taking the academy exam. He needs to go to the academy now. If he goes too late, the teacher will blame him!"

This piece of silver coin was at least equivalent to a month's salary for a police officer. Besides, Magistrate Zhou did not have a firm control over the people under his command.

The officer quickly collected the money and glanced at the two men again. He saw that they had ruddy faces and were generous with their money, so it was obvious that they were not homeless.

So he waved his hand, signaling the two to go in quickly.

As soon as the two entered the city, they immediately felt the desolation of the city. Half of the shops in the city were closed, and only shops selling rice, flour, grain and oil were still open.

When the two passed by the grain shops, perhaps because of purchase restrictions, there were long queues outside each shop.

Song Xile deliberately stopped to listen to the food prices in the city. Although it could not be compared with that in the provincial capital, it did not continue to rise. The ordinary rice price still remained between twelve and fourteen cents.

It seems that County Magistrate Zhou managed to persuade some landlords and gentry in the county to stabilize grain prices.

Otherwise, the grain prices in the county will definitely rise higher, definitely far more than the current increase!

He is actually a county magistrate who is willing to get things done.

Song Xile did not go directly to the county government office, but went to Renyitang first.

She wanted to ask Doctor Zheng about the recent situation in the county town, and then go to the county government office!
