Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

The large drying yard, the rows of houses, and the bright sunshine make it full of the breath of life.

Shen Zheng and Hua Duo walked through the public area, and the sound of conversation drifted into their ears on the wind.

"The mattresses the institute gave us are so much better than the straw in the dilapidated temple... We are no longer afraid of winter. Winter will never kill us again!"

"I haven't combed my hair for a long time. Can I borrow your comb?"

"Keep the relief badge! The station checks your identity every day. If you accidentally lose it and someone else picks it up, the consequences will be severe!"

"Manager Shu is recruiting people to open up wasteland in the back area. You'll get extra steamed buns for the work, and there's also a chance to be selected for the patrol team. Why don't we all go and give it a try?"

"I have good eyesight and can wield a needle, so sewing clothes is no problem. Who should I report this to?"

"Your leg is so broken, why don't you tell the steward and ask him to take you to the clinic? If the bones are broken, it will be difficult for you to stand up again! Come on, I'll take you to see the steward!"

"Mom, the beautiful Yinyin gave me a piece of candy today and told me to tell you, don't be afraid in the future..."

sugar?

This thing is rare in the Central District.

Shen Zheng stopped and looked towards a corner of the drying yard following the sound.

A half-grown girl squatted under a big tree, her face so thin that only her eyes were visible. Her dark little hands were holding a piece of malt sugar. It was obvious that she was drooling with greed, but she still stuffed the sugar into her mother's mouth with a smile.

She saw Shen Zheng approaching and giggled, "Another beauty is coming!"

Shen Zheng paused, her face full of disbelief.

Beautiful lady...

What a fresh name.

Before, people called her "poisonous woman".

As expected...the eyes of the common people are sharper!

Just ask, who can not like such a sweet-talking little girl?

"Do you have any food on you?" She turned and asked Hua Duo, "Take some out quickly. I want to be a beautiful woman with a kind heart."

"......." Hua Duo resigned himself to his fate and after a while, he pulled out two deflated oil paper bags. "Master, these are the crispy candies and marinated pork I brought today."

In fact, she didn't have the habit of carrying snacks with her before.

But one day when she was outside, her hands suddenly trembled and she kept muttering "Eat sugar if you have low blood sugar", which scared her.

Since then, she has started carrying snacks with her in case of emergency.

Looking at the two shapeless oil paper bags, Shen Zheng took them and walked towards the mother and daughter.

The woman was a little nervous when she saw this. She squatted down, held the little girl in her arms, and looked up and said, "Girl, the child is young and doesn't understand..."

The girl in front of him was well-dressed and had a rosy complexion. There was a woman with a knife following behind her. It was obvious that she was of extraordinary status.

She was afraid that she and her child might make some mistakes in their words and accidentally offend the other party, so she had to apologize in advance.

Shen Zheng paused when she heard this.

What are you ignorant of?

This is so sensible!

"Don't be nervous." Shen Zheng also squatted down and said with a smile: "I just think the child is cute, so I came to see her."

As she spoke, she handed over both oil-paper packages and said to the blinking little girl, "Yes, sister... No, Auntie treats you and mother to this. You must hide it and eat it secretly. Don't let others see you, understand?"

"Thank you, beautiful lady!"

The little girl's eyes were dark and bright. She wasn't afraid of Shen Zheng's approach at all. She said crisply, "Xiao Yu knows! The beautiful Yin Yin taught me that if there's food, I should hide it and eat it secretly!"

The oil paper wrapped in her arms, her nose moved slightly, her eyes lit up, she snuggled into her mother's arms, whispered in her ear: "Mom, it smells like meat..."

The woman was startled and quickly picked up the oil paper bag, wanting to return it to Shen Zheng.

"Girl, this is too expensive. I can't use it. I can't use it. Please take it back and eat it yourself..."

For her mother and daughter, one or two pieces of candy were extremely precious, let alone such a large bag of meat...

"No need." Shen Zheng shook her head and said after thinking for a moment, "How about this. Xiaoyu, I'll ask you a question. If you can answer it, these two bags of snacks will be yours, okay?"

"Okay!" Xiao Yu answered loudly.

Looking at the saliva-stained maltose in her hand, Shen Zheng asked, "Did the beautiful lady Yinyin give you this candy? What does she look like?"

As soon as she mentioned this, Xiao Yu jumped out of the woman's arms, her eyebrows dancing with joy: "Miss Yinyin is so beautiful! Her clothes are so pretty, her hair is sparkling, and even her shoes have pearls!"

Well, “the beautiful Yin Yin” is indeed Cui Jinyin.

It seems that Cui Jinyin has indeed made progress. When she gave the little taro candy to eat, she even reminded her: "Hide it and eat it secretly. Don't let anyone see you."

Shen Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and she asked again: "Did you want to call her 'Beautiful Yin Yin', or did she ask you to call her that?"

Xiao Yu bit her finger, and after a while, she told the truth: "The beautiful Yinyin asked me to scream. But auntie, you didn't let me scream. You are a real beauty, really, I didn't know you had meat..."

She said the word "meat" very softly, and Shen Zheng laughed out loud.

"Thank you, Xiaoyu. I'm very happy." Shen Zheng patted her head and asked, "Then what did you say at the beginning? The beautiful Yinyin asked you to tell mother, 'Don't be afraid from now on.' What were you 'afraid' of?"

What was there to be afraid of in the shelter?

"That's it, um..."

"Miss..." Xiao Yu just started to speak when she was interrupted by the woman with a complicated expression: "Miss, you are not married yet, right?"

Shen Zheng's expression froze, and she had a guess in her mind. She immediately covered Xiao Yu's ears with her hands and asked the woman, "But what happened to Cui Jinyin yesterday? Did you guys encounter that too?"

Yesterday, Mu Qing only said that Cui Jinyin encountered a peeping Tom, but he did not say that the peeping Tom was acting rampantly and it was not the first time he had committed a crime.

The woman looked surprised and asked, "Young lady, are you acquainted with Miss Cui?"

Shen Zheng nodded: "Can you tell me? What happened to you, and what happened to Cui Jinyin yesterday..."

The woman pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind, and whispered, "We didn't know about what happened yesterday at first. It was Miss Cui who took the initiative to gather us together and told us about her experience..."

Shen Zheng immediately understood Cui Jinyin's intention - she knew she was not the first victim, and wanted to use her own experience to attract more victims.

And the purpose of her doing this...

"A few other women and I have all experienced that..." The woman's voice was low, but she couldn't hide her inferiority complex. "The other man is a man, capable of doing heavy work, and we are not as strong as him. We also have children with us, which makes us a burden to the shelter..."

Shen Zheng looked at her steadily.

Because I felt like a burden, I didn't dare to speak up when I encountered injustice.
