I became a stepmother and got rich with my cute baby.

The wedding of Miss Wang and Song Qingfeng lasted until midnight and ended perfectly. Many grown men went home drunk, and even the bandits who worked as coolies were given a day off to attend the wedding.

After finishing all the work that needed to be done, Song Wanqing began to prepare to go to Xuancheng.

On the day of departure, she specially called Wen Lingyue and told him: "I'll have to trouble you to take care of the things in the village. If there are any problems, you can send someone to Xuancheng to find me. I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she handed Wen Lingyue a note with the location of the mansion that Ji Huaichuan had given her.

Wen Lingyue took it in a daze. She didn't know why, but when she looked at Song Wanqing's beautiful eyes, she felt a little reluctant.

Recently, she has witnessed how Song Wanqing treated the villagers, and she can feel from the bottom of her heart how much effort she has put into this village.

Such a good person, but she actually hated her so much before. She must be crazy to be like this!

Seeing that Wen Lingyue was thinking about something, Song Wanqing raised his eyebrows and reminded her: "Master Wen, don't be distracted."

Hearing this, Wen Lingyue came back to her senses. She hastily retracted her gaze and snorted, "It is not my turn to be reminded by others when I do things. Just leave this village to me. If they are not convinced, I will help you deal with them and make them completely convinced!"

Song Wanqing just smiled without saying anything. Looking at Wen Lingyue's appearance, he became more convinced that he had not misjudged her.

Although Wen Lingyue is a hot-tempered person who likes to talk tough, she is also a trustworthy person. Wasn't what he said just now a secret promise to her?

She nodded and said, "Of course, but you may face some problems next. You were originally the one who attacked the village, and now I am handing over the management rights to you. I am afraid that some villagers will not accept it. How will you deal with it?"

"That's it?" Wen Lingyue said confidently, "Just watch it, I, Wen Lingyue, never make mistakes when doing things."

Song Wanqing couldn't help but laugh and tease: "Then how did you get caught by me?"

"This this......"

Wen Lingyue scratched her head in panic, made up an excuse and ran away, "That woman asked me to go to her house for dinner, it's getting late so I have to go!"

After saying that, she ran away.

As expected, Song Wanqing had predicted. As soon as the news that Wen Lingyue was going to take over the village was released, some villagers were dissatisfied and came to Song Wanqing to protest in front of Wen Lingyue.

"Wen Lingyue originally came here for our village's resources. Madam Song, are you really going to hand over the village to her?"

"Madam Song, you have also seen that Wen Lingyue is reckless and has no other ability except using force to make people submit."

There was no expression on Song Wanqing's face. She looked at Wen Lingyue, but found that she was not as angry as she had imagined. Instead, she had a serious face.

She looked at Song Wanqing, stood up suddenly, and said, "Everyone, I know you have some opinions about me, and you are not confident in letting me lead you to develop the village."

"But I hope you can give me some time. I will definitely satisfy you. If you are still not satisfied by then, I will leave here."

As she spoke, she bowed sincerely.

Everyone was stunned looking at Wen Lingyue like this, their mouths wide open in shock.

With Wen Lingyue's hot temper, she would have loudly refuted them at this time, but she didn't expect that she would actually bow to them!

Including Song Wanqing, everyone was a little surprised by her behavior.

But now she seemed to have a more composed look, which made her look more worthy of being a village leader, instead of being like a noisy child like before.

Song Wanqing also spoke at the right time: "Everyone, you have seen that Miss Wen's attitude today is acceptable. Besides, Miss Wen keeps her word, since she is willing to let everyone observe her."

"Then it's not impossible for everyone to observe for a period of time. If you are still not satisfied by then, I will definitely find someone else to manage the village."

After getting Song Wanqing's promise, everyone felt relieved and decided to take some time to investigate carefully.

Wen Lingyue is not a disappointing person. Her behavior is completely different from the past. I didn’t expect that the girl who looks hot-tempered on weekdays is actually a good leader.

No wonder, she had previously been in charge of a group of grown men by herself.

Seeing that the villagers had no objections, Song Wanqing took Cheng Qian'an and others, said goodbye to the villagers, and left the village for Xuancheng.

After Song Wanqing and his party arrived in Xuancheng, they moved into the new mansion.

Ji Huaichuan seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He even went to the mansion to congratulate them in person: "Welcome Miss Song and Mr. Cheng. Xuancheng will be your home from now on. If you need any help, just come to me, Ji."

Cheng Qian'an didn't want to have too much contact with him, so he hid behind Song Wanqing and stared at him with his brows lowered.

Song Wanqing had already seen through Ji Huaichuan's thoughts, and he was not here to congratulate him.

She chuckled and said, "That's not necessary. My husband and I will arrange everything. But next, Master Ji can arrange for people to set up stalls to distribute porridge, and arrange for some doctors to treat the illnesses of the people in the city."

"Not only can it alleviate the current population loss, but it can also gain the love of the people~"

Ji Huaichuan understood and immediately sent someone to make arrangements.

As the lord of the city, he naturally had to go for an inspection. The people in the city were dressed in rags, with dishevelled hair and dirty faces. They lined up with bowls in their hands, waiting for the officers to serve them porridge, but their haggard and pale faces were full of gratitude.

"City Lord Ji is such a good person!"

"Yes, yes, if City Lord Ji hadn't come, we would have starved to death by now. That Lord never cared about our lives before!"

Many people shed tears of gratitude, and some even knelt down to worship.

Ji Huaichuan saw all of this and felt depressed and unhappy.

He couldn't imagine how cruel the city lords had been to the people here in the past, to the point that even white porridge was so rare!

Perhaps it was because they had not seen white porridge for a long time. Some people were so hungry that they were dizzy. They could not help but wait in line and actually rushed forward, trying to snatch the spoon that the official was using to scoop the porridge!

"stop!"

The police reacted immediately and subdued the people who were trying to steal the food with swiftness, accuracy and ruthlessness. There was sighing and cheering at the scene.

Ji Huaichuan just waved his hand and asked someone to take them away. "Give them something to eat. I think they are starving."

Those people were stunned. They didn't expect Ji Huaichuan to react like this. Not only did he not punish them with a beating, but he continued to give them porridge!

Everyone was immediately moved to tears, and kept shouting, "City Lord Ji is a great man!"
