Chapter 203 Before she left, the land was still barren and overgrown with weeds.

Try to keep yourself busy so that you won’t think too much.

As soon as she arrived near Wang's house, she heard people talking about the Qi family. When they saw her coming, they pulled her along.

"Madam Ruan, the fire at the Qi family's house was put out, but no one was rescued. It is said that the Qi family's mother was burned beyond recognition and choked to death by the thick smoke."

"If you ask me, they all brought this upon themselves. We all saw how they treated you. Now you've finally gotten your revenge. God is helping you!"

"Yes, although Qi Nanfeng escaped, he is alone on Longchang Mountain and probably won't survive for long."

Ruan Mian didn't care about the family. After chatting with the people present, he turned the topic to the fruit trees.

Wang immediately took her to see the land behind the mountain.

Before she left, the land was barren and overgrown with weeds.

Now it seems that the land has been cultivated long ago, and even the fruit trees she left behind have been planted with careful care by Wang.

"Madam Ruan, I promised you that I would not let you down, so you can rest assured."

"The land was reclaimed so quickly? What method did Madam Wang use?"

There are not many people left in the Wang family, and it would take a lot of effort to manage such a large area.

Unexpectedly, Wang smiled and said, "I used a little trick to bury the broken gold I left on the mountain and said that I had dug up gold. Without me saying anything, everyone went to dig."

"This way, the soil will be loosened and the weeds will be gone. All I have to do is dig holes and plant trees."

Unexpectedly, Wang's thinking coincided with her own. She had used the same method in the Lanqiang military camp to cultivate a piece of land for fruit trees for Liz.

This way she could rest assured and let Wang be responsible for planting the fruit trees.

Thinking of this, he took out some silver from his purse and handed it over.

"The subsequent planting will certainly require labor costs. Consider this as my initial investment. When the fruits are ripe and sold, Madam Wang will then divide the profits according to what is written in our contract and repay me what is due. Of course, your loose gold will also be included in this calculation."

Wang was slightly stunned and a little embarrassed, but Ruan Mian did not give her a chance to refuse and stuffed it into her hand.

"This isn't given to you for free. It's for our orchard, so Madam Wang, don't worry about it. Just accept it with peace of mind!"

Wang's eyes were red, and she was full of motivation. "Well, I will not let you down, Madam Ruan. I will do my best to take good care of our orchard."

Money is no longer important to Ruan Mian. What he lacks now is the hearts of people from all walks of life.

She knew very well that if she wanted to develop the valley and lead everyone to live a prosperous life, it was inseparable from everyone here, and she needed everyone to work together as one.

And the role she has to play is the one who gathers the strength.

Seeing that the sun had not yet set, she wanted to go to Guancheng for a walk.

Jiang Zhen still needs to give her the letter she wrote to her aunt.

So after saying goodbye to Wang, he said something to his family. However, when he was about to leave, the larks that he had sent to look for Qi Nanfeng flew back.

It hovered over her head, with no intention of taking her anywhere.

Ruan Mian realized that something was wrong, frowned slightly, went to a deserted place, and stretched out his hand.

I saw larks landing on her hands and pecking her palms gently.

"You didn't find him either?"

As soon as this question was asked, the birds nodded in unison.

Ruan Mian was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that they couldn't find Qi Nanfeng either. Why was that?

Is it still the aura of his role as a major supporting character? I can't kill him, and even after being tortured so many times, he still managed to breathe. Could it be... that his departure this time is to advance the plot of the original book?

Ruan Mian couldn’t figure it out for the time being, so she released the lark, summoned the white tiger, and rushed to the city gate as quickly as possible.

My aunt is very busy every day. She is either talking about business or on her way to talk about business with others.

I asked the guys in the herbal medicine shop, but they didn't know where my aunt was either.

When Ruan Mian was about to use the space to search for the whereabouts, his aunt suddenly returned to the herbal medicine shop in a carriage.

Seeing Ruan Mian, she was ecstatic! Without saying a word, she jumped off the carriage, grabbed her arm, and went to sit in the backyard of the herbal medicine shop.

"Mianmian, you're back! Oh, you're finally back!! My life is so boring without you around!"

She had endless things to complain about just the troubles she had dealing with Wang Laoer.

But my aunt finally held back, she was more concerned about something else.

"Did you gain anything from your trip to Tunan City this time? Did you meet Ah Zhen?"

Ruan Mian took out the letter and handed it to his aunt.

The eldest aunt hurried to read it, and her expression changed between the lines, sometimes red and sometimes white.

When I saw the end, my tears flowed like a gushing spring, and I couldn't control it at all!

She slammed her palm down on the table, gritting her teeth and saying, "I really gave birth to a bastard! That person is a bastard!!"

"He deserves to die, he really deserves to die!"

After saying this, she looked at Ruan Mian with tears in her eyes and asked, "Is Jiang Dao dead? Is he dead?! I want to put an end to this beast with my own hands!"

"Aunt, he has already been punished, don't get excited yet."

Ruan Mian told her what happened that day.

Jiang Dao and the city lord both brought this upon themselves. They both died because of their sins, and those who were persecuted by them ended their lives with their own hands.

After hearing these words, my aunt's mood calmed down.

Originally, Ruan Mian was worried that her aunt would feel a little reluctant because of their blood relationship.

But the aunt was full of resentment towards Jiang Dao.

"He deserved to die. Even though he came out of my belly, he inherited his black-hearted father's super-male blood. He would be a disaster if he stayed alive for even one more day! It's a pity that I didn't kill him myself!"

It should be like when she slit Jiang Ruohuai's throat, bringing him into this world herself and ending his life by herself, that would be perfect.

But now the person is gone, so there is no point in thinking about it.

The eldest aunt wiped away her tears and said seriously, "As long as Ah Zhen and the others are alive, I'm so grateful to you, Mian Mian. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that Ah Zhen and the others had suffered so much pain and humiliation!"

"If you go any slower, I'm afraid the lives of this couple will be in danger."

"Yes, that's why I went to Tunan City. Perhaps fate had its own plan. After this matter is over, I also found a business opportunity for tussah silkworms. My cousin will recruit workers and open a workshop there according to my instructions."

"When the time comes, we can weave cloth in bulk. The materials will surely sell well in the towns of the northern border. My cousin has been doing business there for many years and has some connections. By the way, I also plan to open a similar small workshop in the valley. For that, I need the help of my aunt and cousin Jinxiu."
