After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

Mother, I am still not in your heart. Why are the eldest and second brothers allowed to go to the capital to do business and now start to manage shops?

Why do you want me to grow crops in the fields? What's so good about growing crops? I don't want to be a farmer all my life.

I also want my son to become the head of the family in the future. I don't want to listen to you in everything. People only know that your eldest son and second son are very capable, but they don't know that your youngest son is also very capable.

Sanniu just left. Yuntao looked at Sanniu's back and sighed.

I don't know if the previous incident has a big impact on Sanniu. The child is now taciturn and doesn't talk much. I don't know if he has grown up in a bad way.

There are no psychologists now, so we don’t know if there is anything wrong with our mind.

Now we can only take one step at a time.

"Dad, what should we do now? The grain merchants and Aunt Yun are running out of food. We can't sustain it for much longer. When will the grain and seeds from the court arrive?"

The governor was even more anxious than Shuqi.

"My dear girl, please stop talking. Dad is more anxious than you. After all, this official hat is on my head. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be in the next few days."

"You should be more careful when selling these days, and sell a little every day. Otherwise, you will have nothing to sell later. Now you won't die from eating porridge every day."

"Dad, don't worry, I know. I'm just worried that something unexpected might happen and the food won't arrive in time."

"You are such a bad mouth. There is nothing good in your mouth."

"It will definitely arrive in time. Where is the food in your supermarket now? Isn't it on sale?"

"What's left in the supermarket now is refined rice. Most people are not willing to eat it. One pound of refined rice now costs more than one tael of silver. Dad, if it were you, would you be willing to eat it?"

When the prefect heard this, he said nothing more.

Seven days passed. The relief grain from the imperial court finally arrived.

The prefect was very excited to see this batch of snacks. The people were finally saved, and he also wanted seeds.

"Dad, this is just in time. I was just worrying about not having food tomorrow, and today the food from the court arrived."

"Yes, Dad is so happy. This is the first batch of grain, and there will be more later. The court is really powerful this time. It seems that we can survive this winter."

Shuqi happily opened the disaster relief food from the court immediately, but was dumbfounded after opening it.

"Dad, why do I feel like this food smells moldy?"

"How is it possible? How could the imperial court's food smell moldy?"

The governor didn't believe it, so he immediately came to the grain, took it out and saw that some moldy grain was mixed in. No wonder there was a musty smell.

The prefect was very helpless. There was nothing he could do now. He had to distribute the musty food to the people, otherwise, the people would starve to death.

"Dad, won't this matter be reported to the court?"

"Do you think it would be useful to report it to the court? Your father has little influence in front of those high officials."

"The memorial may not reach His Majesty yet, Shuqi. There is no point in reporting this matter. The court is already rotten. Take these grains and distribute them tomorrow."

"And these seeds can at least fill my stomach a little bit."

When distributing grain the next day, the prefect said that it was disaster relief grain sent by the imperial court and that no silver was needed. The people were particularly happy.

"The grain from the court has finally arrived. Finally, I don't have to spend money anymore. I really have no money left. I am so poor that I can't even tighten my belt."

"Yes, yes, finally I don't need money. Although these corns don't look very good and have a moldy taste, they are still edible, hey."

"You are still picky. It's free, so why are you picky? If you want to eat good food, there is rice in the supermarket. You can go buy some. At this time, it's good to have food. Look at how many people starved to death some time ago. How many people with poor health, old and young, died. Go to the canal and take a look. All the bodies are inside."

"Yeah, it's free, I accept it. It's free food, why would I be so picky, really."

"I just don't know how long we can get this free food. After all, we have to survive this winter, otherwise more people will die."

The common people were talking about it in a buzzing manner.

When the prefect returned home, he was so tired that he could not even straighten his back.

"Shuqi, you see, ordinary people don't mind moldy food at all. Nowadays, it's good enough to have food to eat. Why are you so picky?"

"Dad, the food has been distributed, but I don't know if the next batch of food will be the same as this batch."

"It's normal. We are all minor officials. We have no say in this matter. Don't worry about it. Just run your shop well. You will get married sooner or later. Save up some dowry for yourself."

"Also, what do you think of Lord Wang's son in the imperial capital? He is your cousin's classmate. I think he is okay. If you think he is suitable, I will ask your cousin to get a portrait of him."

Shuqi stamped her feet and said, "Dad, I don't plan to get married now. What's the point of getting married? I want to stay single for the rest of my life and stay with you forever."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you, a girl, stay single for your whole life? You are talking nonsense, right? I think it's okay. I heard from your cousin that he is handsome. Moreover, his father is a third-rank official, and his position is also good. He is the only son in the family."

"Your mother and I are both very satisfied. It all depends on your opinion."

"If you think it's a good idea, you can let Yun Tao manage the shop in the capital city yourself when you are in the capital city, or you can hire someone else to manage it."

Shuqi was speechless: "Dad, I really have no plans to get married now. I think it's good to be alone. Look, I'm fine being alone now. My business is doing well, and you can watch over me every day."

"Okay, don't talk about this anymore. It's impossible for me to keep you by my side forever. I'll ask your cousin to send the portrait over so you can take a look at the person. If you think she's suitable and she's satisfied with you, I plan to finalize the marriage with your mother.

Shuqi wanted to say something, but the governor knew his daughter's personality. He didn't even give Shuqi a chance to speak.

"It's settled, all right. Don't say anything more. Dad, I don't have any wishes, I just hope you can find a good son-in-law. The kind that will treat you well all your life, and by the way, the family can also let you live a good life."
