Chapter 332 Returning Home

For the first time in many years, the Wei army won a beautiful victory in the battle against the Western Hu people, and used the real record to tell all the people in Chenzhou that they were no longer the same. However, this time the Western Hu people broke through and still caused unimaginable harm to the people, especially those villages that were brutally massacred by them.

The most chilling thing is that, except for Datong County and the three border counties, the county governments of the other counties not only did not resettle the surviving villagers, but actually ignored them. Even the bodies were collected by the people themselves.

After learning about this, Wei Chengyi was furious and sent Yan Junling to appease the people in person. He moved the surviving women to Datong County and settled them in various villages according to their wishes. He also gave them arable land and homesteads free of charge. The local village chief also enthusiastically led the strong laborers in the village to help them build houses.

On the other side, Yan Lang and others were preparing to eliminate the corrupt officials in the government office and some county offices in the name of the suffering people. Everyone was busy with their own affairs in an orderly manner. Shen Xiangwan and his wife, along with Mu Yunran and twenty medical children, returned to Yong'an Village under the escort of the guards.

"Is Wanwan back?"

Not long after several carriages entered the village, Zhao Dashan's uncertain question was heard outside, and the carriages stopped. Shen Xiangwan, who was sitting in the first carriage with Wei Chengyi, lifted the curtain and said, "I'm back. Uncle Zhao, what are you going to do?"

"It really is you."

Seeing her, Zhao Dashan put down the dung bucket on his shoulder and walked quickly to the carriage. "What else can I do? Aren't there potatoes and corn in the fields? I'll go water them. I have nothing to do anyway."

"Have you finished your work in the workshop?"

Shen Xiangwan was surprised. Even if the pigs were all killed, there should still be a lot of things to do. How could he be so free as to water the plants?

"Well, we've finished our work long ago. We've even sold out the remaining sausages and bacon."

Zhao Dashan grinned from ear to ear when he spoke of this. "We distributed the money a few days ago. Every household has made money this time. I heard that after the spring plowing, many people are planning to build new houses, just like you, with big brick and tile houses."

Although they did not allow other villagers to join the pork processing workshop, they bought the pigs raised by the villagers and offered a high price. Live pigs were ten cents per pound. Every household in the village raised at least twenty or thirty pigs, and there were many who raised more than fifty. Each pig earned at least two taels of silver. It could be said that everyone made a lot of money. Together with the money they earned from working for the Wei family last year, it was more than enough to build a new house.

"So soon?"

If she was just surprised before, she was shocked now. How could the sausages and bacon made from thousands of pigs be sold out so easily?

"Thank you so much."

Seeing what she was shocked about, Zhao Dashan continued, "During the New Year, the Western Barbarians broke through the border, and we thought our sausages and bacon would be temporarily unsaleable. Seeing this, Shopkeeper Cheng introduced us to a few caravan leaders, and they bought all the remaining sausages and bacon for forty-five coins."

At that time, they still had a lot of pigs to slaughter. In order to deliver the goods as soon as possible, they hired villagers to help. They didn't finish until the end of the month. On February 2nd, they started spring plowing without stopping. Just a few days ago, after they finished their work, he started to divide the money with the second and third sons.

"Really? Congratulations then."

After hearing this, Shen Xiangwan finally understood the reason. If it was a caravan, it would not be surprising.

"You must be very busy since you just came back. Go home quickly and I won't disturb you."

"Okay, let's go back first."

"good."

After the two said goodbye to each other, the carriage started moving again. Shen Xiangwan, who was sitting in the carriage, had a smile on her face. When the villagers built their new houses, Yong'an Village would be greatly changed. To be honest, she felt quite accomplished. In the future, she would work hard with Cheng Yi to make the people of the world like Yong'an Village and create a prosperous and powerful dynasty.

"What are you thinking about?"

Pulling her hand, Wei Chengyi asked softly. Anyone could feel that she was in a good mood.

"How can we create a prosperous dynasty?"

Turning around and giving him a bright smile, Shen Xiangwan said this half-jokingly and half-seriously, and winked at him mischievously.

"We're together."

Wiggling his fingers and clasping them tightly with hers, Wei Chengyi said firmly that even though they had not yet completely taken over Chenzhou, it would not prevent him and his wife from setting goals to strive for together.

"Um."

Nodding, Shen Xiangwan leaned softly into his arms. They would definitely lead the people to live a good life, at least a hundred times or a thousand times better than now.

"Second Master, Madam, we're here."

The slowly moving carriage gradually stopped, and the guard's voice sounded respectfully. Wei Chengyi jumped off the carriage first, then turned around and stretched out his hand to the carriage. Shen Xiangwan's fair and tender hand gently rested on his hand, allowing him to hold her down.

“Ahhh…”

"Chengyi, Wanwan."

"Thank God, you finally came back safely."

At the same time, a white shadow flashed by, and the wolf cub, which had grown a lot, rushed in front of them and kept howling. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yuping and others also ran out one after another. In a blink of an eye, they had been away from home for more than a month. On the battlefield, swords and knives were blind. Even though they knew that they had extraordinary abilities, they still couldn't help but worry, fearing that they would encounter accidents.

"Mom, we're back."

After patting Xiaobai's head to comfort him, Shen Xiangwan left Wei Chengyi and walked forward to hug Zhao Yuping enthusiastically with open arms.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

The tears in her eyes suddenly rolled down, and Zhao Yuping choked with sobs.

"Auntie, I'm back too."

Mu Yunran, who had gotten off another carriage, stepped forward at the right time. Shen Xiangwan handed Zhao Yuping to her and turned to Wei Linger, whose eyes were also red. "Yunran and I are not at home. Can you help us look after the workshop?"

"Second sister-in-law."

Wei Linger couldn't hold it in any longer and threw herself into her arms, sobbing. Shen Xiangwan quickly hugged her and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. Aren't we all back safely?"

"You are finally back..."

God knows how worried she is about them. Since they left, the most thing she does every day is to find Yuan Xiu to inquire about their news.

"That's enough. You're already a fourteen-year-old girl. It won't be pretty if you cry anymore."

Pushing her away slightly, Shen Xiangwan took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. This girl must be really worried.

"Well...I can do it myself..."

Wei Ling'er was obviously a little embarrassed. She took the handkerchief and wiped it herself. Shen Xiangwan shook her head in amusement and turned to Yun Mengyi and Yue Ruyan: "Master's wife, Ruyan, I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Just be glad you're back safely. It's freezing outside. Let's go inside and talk."

Nodding, Yun Mengyi, who was six months pregnant, seemed calm, but in fact she could not hide her excitement. The old man told her about the situation on the battlefield when he came back. Whether it was Cheng Yi or Wan Wan, they did a good job and the people would be grateful to them.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Looking at her, Yue Ruyan said sincerely that after they left, Aunt Yun told her about the Wei family and told her bluntly that they planned to overthrow the Li royal family. It would be a lie to say that she was not shocked, but she had many guesses in her mind and did not feel surprised. When she heard the news of victory on the battlefield again and again, she felt from the bottom of her heart that they would do better than the Li royal family in the future, and she did not care at all whether she would be implicated if they failed.

"Should I say it's not hard?"

After Shen Xiangwan finished speaking playfully, the two smiled at each other. Some things did not need to be said too clearly, as long as they knew it in each other's hearts.

"Ling'er, Ruyan, go in with mother and master's wife first, we will follow soon."

After saying that, Shen Xiangwan strode towards the medical children who had already lined up automatically: "You have done a great job this time, and I believe you have gained a lot. Go back and sort it out carefully. Those are valuable experiences that will be of great help to your medical skills."

"Yes, ma'am."

Twenty people bowed at the same time. At the beginning, all of them could be said to be forced to do it, but as the lady often said, after actually doing it, they quickly got used to it. Now, in terms of surgery alone, they believe that they are no less capable than the military doctors in the army. However, they still want to learn more. In the future, they will definitely surpass the military doctors in all aspects and become truly useful to the lady and others.

"Let's all go."

Waving her hand, Shen Xiangwan returned to Wei Chengyi and held his fingers tightly without any hesitation.
