Follow my mother to remarry! The God of War Baili Hongzhuang is planning to marry me!
Chapter 24 The Shen family took out food again! The Chen family collapsed!
Although Wei Zhendong was injured, it was a blessing in disguise that he finally got to see the beauty. He was so happy that he almost snot bubbles came out of his nose!
He shamelessly told his beloved little woman that he had already sealed his love for her and kissed her, so she could no longer be indecisive and should just wait to be his bride!
Shen was so angry at the man's roguery that she laughed: "Duke, don't go to the construction site to work these days, just stay at home and take care of your arm. You have so many deputy generals under you, don't you have someone to manage them?
Alas! There is not much work for so many people. The dam in Jun'an County is not short. I heard from my uncle that it would be faster if we recruited migrant workers. "
Wei Zhendong frowned and said, "What the young lady said is right. I also thought about recruiting migrant workers, but the quarry doesn't need so many people now. When the quarry is transporting stones to the river, migrant workers may be needed to help. And for tasks like carrying sandbags to the dam, more people will definitely be needed!
But now you take out this grain. The chief clerk Tian Qi and I calculated it and it is about 200,000 catties. This 200,000 catties is only enough for our 15,000 people to eat for a period of time, and cannot be used to hire migrant workers.
There is a famine in An County, Jiangnan Prefecture, so you can't hire people with money. They basically just want food. If you hire a worker, you have to provide them with lunch and two kilograms of food a day!"
Shen hesitated for a moment, remembering what her daughter said if there was not enough food, they still had more food.
"My Lord, let me think about it tonight. If I have thought it through, I may be able to donate some food to you!"
Wei Zhendong raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay! Then Madam, you should think about it carefully. If we have food, we can hire a large number of workers to help build the dam and transport stones. It will be completed in about two or three months. Otherwise, the construction period will be delayed for a long time.
If the construction period is delayed too long, and the water from upstream comes down during the flood season, I am afraid that all the work here will be in vain.”
Shen looked at the man's expectant eyes and said hesitantly: "Don't worry, let me think about it!
Although my Ruyi is only six years old, I want to discuss this with her. After leaving the Chen family, we, mother and daughter, have agreed to depend on each other for the rest of our lives, so I have to tell her everything!"
Wei Zhendong expressed his understanding. Looking at the little woman's appearance, he really wanted to hug her in his arms and rub her into his body... Stop!
"Young Madam, when no one is around, can I call you Yu'er?"
Shen's pretty face turned red again. She looked up at the man with murderous eyes and nodded shyly.
The man climbed up the pole and quickly moved over. He reached out his good right hand and held the woman's small hand. It felt soft in his hand. He held the woman's hand happily and looked into her eyes as if he wanted to eat her up!
"Yu'er, this name is so nice, I like it! Yu'er, you are so pretty..."
The woman tugged at her own hands a few times, and looked towards the house again. Thinking of her daughter, she said shyly, "Duke, you...let go of my hand. I want to go see Ruyi. I don't know if the child is covered with a blanket when she sleeps..."
Wei Zhendong reluctantly let go of his big hand, and looked at the graceful little woman walking into the house. His eyes burned red, and he smacked his lips. That feeling was so good!
Wei Zhendong couldn't stay in the house for too long, for fear of causing gossip. He tried to regulate his breathing for a few times, then went out of the house and looked at the people in the yard, who were all busy there!
Seeing a lot of cabbages and radishes piled all over the yard, Wei Zhendong couldn't help but think of the cabbage and meat buns he had at noon, and suddenly laughed!
Uncle Fang came over with a smile and said, "Duke, is your arm okay?"
Wei Zhendong nodded: "It's okay, it's just a minor fracture, it will be fine after a few days of rest.
Uncle Fang, are these cabbages and radishes all grown by Shenjiazhuang itself? "
Uncle Fang smiled and said, "Oh, Duke, you don't know that our family has a great harvest of vegetables this year!
The whole mountain is covered with cabbages. There is still a row of cabbages at the back that have not been cut yet. The seedlings planted here have grown again. Although the rain this year has caused damage to the crops, it has made the cabbages swell and grow crop after crop. It is really fast!"
Wei Zhendong smiled and said, "That's great! The soldiers need to eat vegetables. They can't just eat grain without vegetables!"
Uncle Fang smiled and said, "Yes! My wife said that since we can't take these dishes away, we should give them to the soldiers. If they are full and well-fed, they will have the strength to repair the dam, and in the future, we can benefit the people of Jun'an County!"
Wei Zhendong: "Okay! The firemen from the military camp will come over tomorrow, and we will build some kitchens outside your yard in the future!
From now on, you should get the food here and cook meals for the soldiers. We can’t let the young lady take care of you and make you too tired!"
Uncle Fang smiled and said, "Oh! Great! That's great. We made so many buns today. We hired a lot of people from the village. Each of them will help here. When they leave, my wife will give them some corn flour or vegetables!"
Wei Zhendong smiled and said, "Okay! From now on, let the firemen come over and do the work here. They will all follow the arrangements of the young lady!"
Shen picked up her daughter in the house, not knowing that she had been promoted to chef!
"Ruyi, your uncle was injured today. He just talked to mother for a while. He said that if we hire some migrant workers, the construction period may be shortened. Otherwise, we don't know when it will be delayed. If the flood season arrives upstream and the water volume increases, all our efforts will be in vain!
He said that 200,000 catties of grain were missing, and he couldn’t take care of the migrant workers. Now, migrant workers are hired without money, they just want grain…”
Shen Ruyi: "Mother, have you decided on your uncle? If you have decided on my uncle Wei, he will be my father in the future, so let's take out all the food and support my uncle in doing his job!
Mother! I think my uncle is a good man. He risked his life to save me. I know he treats me so well because of mother!
Mother, it’s not easy to meet a good person. Ruyi wants to take a gamble and bet that Uncle Wei will be good to you forever!"
Shen heard her daughter's words and burst into tears. She hugged her daughter and cried, "Ruyi, it's mother's fault. You are only six years old and your thinking is so mature. It's all mother's fault!"
Shen Ruyi patted her mother's back and said, "Mom, we depend on each other, but I want to lead you to live a good life, so that the people of the Chen family will never dare to look down on us or bully us again!
Mother, in this era, only powerful men can protect us. If we let the Chen family gain power, they will crush us to death!
Look at how they came that day, they looked so ferocious and vicious. If we had let them gain the upper hand, how would the two of us survive?
Mother, I want you to marry Uncle Wei, become the envied wife of a high-ranking official, live a happy life, and surprise the Chen family!
Let my scumbag father bow down to you when he sees you. Let him regret it for the rest of his life. Let him regret losing you and me for the rest of his life!"
Shen gritted her teeth and made up her mind: "Ruyi, then...then let's take out the food. Can you find it?"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Mom, I can find it! It's that cave. That cave is actually an illusion. Normal people can only see one side. There is another side. Tomorrow, if uncle doesn't go to the construction site to work, I will secretly take him to find it."
Shen's...
Five days later, it was said that Shenjiazhuang had taken out hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain to support the imperial court's Fuguogong in building the dam, and also posted a notice to hire a large number of workers to transport stones from the quarry to build the dam!
Everyone in the Chen family was having dinner. Old Chen heard the news from the county town and rode back on his donkey. As soon as he entered the house, he started cursing: "Bitch! She donated hundreds of thousands of grains to the court. Damn it! When did she steal the grain?
I'm so pissed! I'm going to kill her... Ouch! My ass!"
The Chen family members, whose swelling had just subsided like pig heads, threw their bowls down at the same time and collapsed completely!
ah ah ah...
