Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 29 It’s going to rain heavily
They arrived late, and after working for about an hour, it was time for dinner.
"Master Song, please go first!"
Although the villagers were starving, they did not dare to be rude in front of Song Jinshu because of the education they received from their village.
Everyone made way for her, wanting her to be at the front of the line.
"Fellow villagers! You don't have to do this. You must be starving! Come and eat! I'm not hungry yet. I'll just wait in line!"
She ignored the villagers' enthusiastic advice and stood at the back of the team.
Shen Fenghua was shocked again. He looked at Song Jinshu in surprise. She was an official appointed by the court after all. Why did she treat these people as if they were her own ancestors?
"Mr. Shen, come and queue up for dinner too!"
Song Jinshu seemed to suddenly remember Shen Fenghua, turned around and called him to come over quickly.
"Okay!" Shen Fenghua nodded woodenly and stood behind her.
After receiving the simple meal, Shen Fenghua swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but look at Song Jinshu.
I saw the person opposite me holding the bowl and swallowing it in big mouthfuls, as if he was eating delicacies from land and sea.
"Food is scarce in the mountains and wilderness, and it's good enough for the people to have enough to eat. Mr. Shen, please don't mind!"
Song Jinshu was eating with relish, but Shen Fenghua kept staring at her, making her feel uncomfortable.
Because he disliked the simple food without oil or water, he made a sour explanation.
She just wants to pretend to be poor in front of him!
Even though she was poor.
"Beautiful! The food is delicious! Thank you, Master Song."
Shen Fenghua came back to her senses, holding the bowl of rice and chewing it slowly. Her eating manners were just as good as Lu Ruoyu's, and both looked equally good.
In contrast, Song Jinshu is exactly the same as the villagers.
At noon, the sun was at its highest point, and Song Jinshu had already given orders to let the villagers take a nap.
She found the coolest place and closed her eyes to rest. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Shen Fenghua seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Song Jinshu curled his lips, turned away, pretending not to see, and closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Shen Fenghua was tactful enough to sit alone beside her and wait for her to wake up.
Following the familiar sound of the gong, the villagers took their farm tools and went to the areas under their respective villages.
Song Jinshu also woke up from her dream. Seeing her sleepy and heartless look, Shen Fenghua's mouth twitched.
Does such a heartless person really have the courage to embezzle 100,000 taels of silver?
"Why are you looking at me?"
No one would feel comfortable being stared at right after waking up.
No matter how handsome the person in front of you is, it can still scare you to death!
"Lord Song loves the people like his own children and does everything personally. We truly admire him."
Shen Fenghua showed his signature smile, making the world sparkle, and even the dead grass on the roadside became his fashion item.
However, Song Jinshu had already guessed that he had a hidden identity, otherwise he might not have been seduced by her beauty.
"Tsk! Fairy!"
"Hmm? Sir Song, what did you say?"
He blinked his innocent big eyes, as if he didn't hear what Song Jinshu said clearly.
"Nothing! I have to get back to work. If Mr. Shen is bored here, he can go back on his own!"
She won't accompany you anymore!
This canal is connected with her life, and she has no time to play tricks with him here.
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Shen Fenghua to reply and walked towards the canal on her own.
When the villagers saw her coming, they all made way for her.
In their view, no matter how easy-going Song Jinshu was, he was still a high-ranking official who held the lives of their entire county in his hands.
We are not the same kind of people as these peasants.
However, Wang Laoer of Wangjia Village and the village chief of Zhangjia Village had the opposite idea.
One of them protected her on either side, like two bodyguards.
Seeing that he had finally dug a little deeper, the soil was covered by the soil dug by Village Chief Zhang. This happened again and again, which annoyed Song Jinshu.
"Village Chief Zhang! Go back to your village and dig. It's hard for me to work with you here!"
The land allocated to her was the least among the people present. If she continued like this, she would not be able to dig up the one and a half acres of land in front of her by nightfall.
She said she was here to help so that the villagers wouldn't laugh at her behind her back.
She has been going out early and coming back late these days. She has finally managed to restore her image, and she can't let it be ruined by others.
Village Chief Zhang suddenly realized what he had done and felt that he had done something stupid. He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Master Song! My eyes are blurry and I didn't notice..."
Compared with Village Chief Zhang, Wang Laoer dug quickly and efficiently, and leveled the road in front of Song Jinshu in just a few strokes.
He felt even more ashamed and returned to his village with his hoe.
Looking at this scene from afar, Shen Fenghua's eyes darkened.
Hidden in the shade of the trees, he seemed even more unfathomable.
Today, while Song Jinshu was taking a nap, he had checked her body thoroughly and found no pockets hidden in her clothes.
It seems that the 100,000 taels of silver are not with her. In that case, he doesn't have the time to waste with her here.
Shen Fenghua stood up, straightened her clothes, waved her folding fan, said goodbye to Song Jinshu, and went back first.
The villagers felt bad when they saw this. It seemed that this unknown official had a difficult personality to get along with.
Everyone measured and compared Shen Fenghua and Lu Ruoyu inside and out.
Of the two, Shen Fenghua is a little more beautiful, but Lu Ruoyu has better temperament.
Also, manners, temperament, height, etc...
After comparing them, the villagers all liked Lu Ruoyu more.
Of course, some villagers also prefer Song Jinshu, who was once misunderstood as a "corrupt official".
After spending some time together, they all felt that Song Jinshu was a truly good official!
Even though he wore tattered clothes and worn-out shoes, he had never lacked food or wages every day.
In their hearts, Song Jinshu is the honest and upright ruler!
He is the parent official of Jingyang County!
……
After several days, the water channel was finally dug through the three towns and several villages below.
The sky is dark today, without any sunshine.
Experienced villagers all know that it is going to rain!
The villagers were both happy and sad about the rain. The happy ones were those in the villages farther away from the river dam and those in the mountains.
Over the past half month, which was the critical time for rice planting, the water level in the river dropped several degrees.
They worked desperately to speed up the process in order to dig the canal to the entrance of their village as soon as possible so that they would not have to worry about water shortage for the rice.
Those who are sad are afraid that if it rains heavily, the river dam will be even more damaged, and then the canal will definitely not be able to be dug.
After working for so long, all the efforts have been wasted. If the rain gets heavier, I'm afraid the villages close to the dam will be flooded.
Village chief Zhang also had a sad face and kept muttering something.
"Village Chief! It's so dark, it must be raining heavily. Do you think we can still dig this canal?"
Continuing to dig while it rained was not uncommon under the control of previous county magistrates.
In that year, the number of villagers who came out to perform labor service doubled compared to the previous year.
This year, almost every household in Jingyang County has mobilized their labor force. If something happens, what will happen to the elderly and children at home?
