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

Li took Song Xile's hand and sat down at the table, and said with a look of eagerness to have a long conversation: "Speaking of this, it's all thanks to the high-yield bean seeds provided by your family. If it weren't for these bean seeds, how could we have achieved this situation today!"

"What's hateful is that there are always those profit-seeking villains in this county who only see the benefits but fail to see the hardships of the people's livelihoods!"

"I am now worried about when the drought will be alleviated. If it continues like this, and the imperial court does not provide disaster relief, I am afraid that these small landowners who rely on the county magistrate will not be able to survive in the long run!"

Song Xile's heart was slightly moved. She didn't expect that the county magistrate's wife trusted her so much. Before they had even talked for a few words, she confessed her worries to her.

Song Xile did not beat around the bush and asked directly, "Madam, do you know what the disaster situation is like outside?"

"I entered the county town today, and the gatekeepers actually required me to check my household registration before I could enter the city. Madam, what happened outside?"

Li shook her head. "I only heard from the adults that the entire Muzhou Prefecture was affected by the drought this year. Now, except for the situation in the prefecture city, the rest of the counties are barely holding on. Many people who can't survive have no choice but to leave their homeland."

"Recently, I don't know who spread the news that the food prices in our county are low, which attracted many disaster victims to come here. Your Excellency is worried that too many disaster victims will influx and become a burden on our county, so he had no choice but to do this."

After that, Li sighed again, "This is just a stopgap measure. Due to the lack of water, rice cannot be planted this year. If the court does not provide disaster relief, there will be no crops to harvest in the fields during the autumn harvest. I am afraid that the people of Nanyun County will also have no way to survive."

Song Xile also knew that what Li said was true. Everyone still had surplus food and dried vegetables stored in the spring.

But how long can this little surplus food last?

If the entire autumn harvest fails, how will the people survive during the long winter when there is a shortage of food?

Song Xile thought about it and decided to tell Mrs. Li about the pumpkin.

"Madam, only when you have your destiny firmly in your own hands can you have the initiative. So many counties under the jurisdiction of Muzhou Prefecture have been hit by disasters. Whether the court will provide disaster relief or not, or whether the money and grain can be delivered to you in time after the disaster relief, these are all things worth discussing!"

"The most urgent task is to let the people plant as much land as possible, so that when the autumn harvest comes, there will be no land without any harvest!"

Li couldn't believe what she just heard. She asked again in disbelief, "You said the pumpkin yield is 3,000 kilograms?"

Song Xile nodded, "If it was a good year, the pumpkin production might even exceed this number!"

Madam Li stood up with a look of disbelief on her face. She walked around the room twice with some excitement and agitation. Then she stopped and said to Song Xile, "Sister Song, can you take me to see this? This... This is really unbelievable!"

Seeing her serious look, Song Xile thought about it and nodded in agreement.

What she said here is all very exaggerated, but it is not as convincing as bringing people to see it with their own eyes!

She still wants to promote pumpkin throughout Nanyun County.

If you plant it now, you can harvest it in three or four months. This is undoubtedly a way to save yourself.

Song Xile also stood up, bowed and said, "My husband is still waiting for me outside. Madam, please allow me to take him with me."

When Li saw that she agreed, she immediately ordered people to prepare the carriage. At this moment, she was very excited. If the situation was really as the person in front of her said, then her husband would not have to consider the Zhou family when doing things.

After this incident, there is no chance for Aunt Zhou to turn things around!

The side of the government office was opened, and two carriages slowly drove out.

Song Xile lifted the curtain and saw her husband looking at her, so she quickly waved to him.

Chen Yunyou was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and stepped forward quickly.

Song Xile stopped the carriage next to the wonton stall. After her husband got in, she told him what had happened in the county government office.

"Do you want to sell the pumpkin seeds to the county government?" Chen Yunyou asked.

Song Xile shook his head, "I want to use the county government to promote pumpkins to all villages and towns."

"This way, the seeds will not be intercepted by those with ulterior motives, and will also reach the hands of the grassroots people!"

Chen Yunyou asked with some concern: "The selling price of the seeds cannot be too high. I think there are many people who want such high-yield pumpkin seeds. Will the uncles in Songjia Village agree with your decision?"

Song Xile smiled and said, "My uncles and aunts want to make money, so I won't stop them. I only care about the share that our family deserves!"

"After my promotion, the uncles won't have to worry about not being able to sell the seeds. They won't have any objections!"

Chen Yunyou looked at his wife's confident look and asked with a smile, "Are you so confident that the county magistrate will not rob us of these high-yield pumpkin seeds after seeing them?"

The smile on Song Xile's lips was a little cold, "He doesn't dare! Look, the Zhou family is doing well now that they are not jumping around!"

County Magistrate Zhou was too concerned about the legitimacy of law enforcement. He had too many concerns, which led to him being hesitant and not decisive enough when doing things.

It seems that when facing the Zhou family, who had many constraints on him, he didn't dare to step on them to death without any definite evidence of their death!

Similarly, there are dozens of households in the entire Songjia Village, and now there is a scholar in the village. How dare he commit such a crime of robbery?

Chen Yun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then couldn't help but smile. What his wife said was really very pertinent!

The group arrived at Songjia Village very quickly. The villagers of Songjia Village were very alert and had arranged patrols at the entrance to the village early in the morning.

Seeing two horse-drawn carriages coming towards them, followed by several officers, the villagers became alert.

While one person was sent to look for the clan leader, the others were preparing to deal with him first.

But before the villagers could come forward to ask, the curtain of the carriage at the back was suddenly lifted by Song Xile.

She jumped off the carriage first, and then said to the person who came: "Fifth Uncle, it's me, don't disturb the noble man!"

Chen Yunyou also got off the carriage behind his wife.

When the people of Songjia Village saw that it was a couple, they felt relieved.

Everyone still has a good impression of Song Xile.

They all knew that the pumpkins grown in the village now were from the seeds she brought back, so when the villagers saw that it was her, they were not on guard.

But his eyes were still vaguely scanning the carriage in front of him whose curtains had not been opened.

But they also knew that since this man had servants following him, he must be from an official family.

However, the clan leader has issued an order that anyone, including married women, who wants to return to the village now must be picked up by the clan leader or their family members, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter the village!

Soon, Chief Song and Old Song arrived together.

Old Song hurried forward and asked, "Didn't you say you would be back tomorrow? Why are you back today?"

Song Xile hurriedly leaned close to his father's ear and whispered a few words.

Old Song's eyes widened and he quickly ran to inform the Song clan leader.

After hearing this, Patriarch Song immediately ordered people to clear the road to allow the carriage to pass.

The carriage drove slowly to the gate of the Song family and stopped.

The villagers who were watching from afar saw a graceful woman being invited into Old Song's house.
