Chapter 316: Ever since the orchard was handed over to Wang, the relationship between the two has become much closer.
Others were happy to give him good food.
His mother, Wang, fearing he would break the rules, quickly lectured him, "Stand still! You can't be so rude! What did I teach you? If you want any amount, be sure to ask Madam Ruan for permission."
Lin Ge'er quickly put the candies back, clasped his fists politely, and said to Ruan Mian, "Madam Ruan is kind and beautiful. She will definitely satisfy my child's appetite. The more candies the better! Isn't that right?"
Ruan Mian was amused by the boy and couldn't help but touch his chubby face. He decisively handed him the whole plate of wedding candies.
Not only that, Rui Ge'er was also very loyal. Knowing that he loved to eat it, he specially gave him his own share.
This made Lin Ge'er very happy, and he shouted quickly: "Rui Ge'er is my best brother! He is so loyal!"
Wang was also helpless. Seeing Ruan Mian's smiling face, she could only say, "Excuse me, Madam Ruan. Brother Lin is getting more and more unruly as he grows up."
"Sister Wang, you're worrying too much. Lin Ge'er is still childish and well-behaved. Everyone in the village loves him. This is all thanks to your good teaching."
Ever since the orchard was handed over to Wang, their relationship has become much closer.
Wang was two years older than Ruan Mian, so she thought that there was no need to be so distant with her and let Ruan Mian treat her like a sister.
After all, the two families have suffered together, and the grudges they once had have long disappeared as they get along with each other.
Both parties know how to cherish their hard-earned life, especially Wang, who knows that Ruan Mian has made an indelible contribution to her current good life.
Looking around, who would have thought that the now bustling Jinsha Village was once a desolate land where no one had ever set foot?
At first, they were forced to enter Longchang Mountain because of the Wu Heng mutiny and the snowstorm.
It was Ruan Mian who taught them how to build houses, divert canals to grow crops, and finally start a business.
Every blade of grass and every tree here has extraordinary meaning to her.
However, the woman who was forced to leave had her plans disrupted by Feng Ge'er's sudden appearance.
She was Wen Qiang who came here on orders.
She had wanted to find another suitable opportunity to go in, but at this moment the guests had dispersed one after another, so she had to control her temper for the time being.
However, she did not leave Jinsha Village immediately, but came to a remote courtyard.
There was only a dim oil lamp lit in the house. When she pushed the door open, she saw an old woman lying on the bed with a limp, unable to move. Her face was gloomy and full of despair.
After noticing the movement in the house, he suddenly turned around!
Seeing Wen Qiang's unfamiliar face, she was frightened and her face turned pale. She quickly asked, "Who are you?!"
Wen Qiang took out a bottle of medicine powder from her sleeve and placed it on the tattered stool beside the bed.
She stood beside the bed, staring at the old woman expressionlessly and saying, "It doesn't matter who I am, but if you don't treat this wound, it will fester and cause death."
"Your son Yan Yi died an innocent and tragic death. Now your Yan family has been wiped out, and you are the only one left, a half-dead old woman. Are you so desperate right now that you want to die?"
"But how can you be willing to do that?"
She smiled coldly, and every word she said stabbed the old woman's heart like a knife.
It turned out that the old woman was the old woman from the Yan family whose legs were pierced by her daughter-in-law that day.
Both his son and daughter-in-law died that day, and Ruan Qingsong, who killed his son, now lives peacefully in the village.
Today, the Ruan family is holding a grand wedding for their daughter. What a lively occasion!
But looking back at myself, I am already alone. Although I don’t know who this woman is, what she said is exactly what the old woman is thinking.
Her dream was to avenge her son with her own hands and let the Ruan family pay for her son's life.
But considering her current appearance, how can she seek justice for her son? !
She stared at the bottle of medicine the woman handed her and took it with trembling hands.
Just before she touched the medicine bottle, Wen Qiang suddenly retracted her hand!
The old woman's face changed slightly, and she felt very uncomfortable when she met her gaze: "You..."
"It would be difficult for you to get justice for your son on your own, but I can."
"Aunt, you are already a dying woman, and there is nothing left for you to be attached to in this world. But if you die like this, it will be such a pity for your son. If you could do this for him..."
"What do you want?"
Before Wen Qiang could finish, the old woman interrupted her and asked, "What do you want me to do now?"
Wen Qiang smiled slightly. Seeing the old woman's understanding, she loosened her grip and let her take the medicine bottle away. Then she slowly said, "What I want you to do is not difficult."
The weather has warmed up in the past few days and all the ice in the Linfen River has melted.
Only the top of the mountain still has snow.
With Lord Lin in charge these days, people all over the city have started to move.
He first enclosed a suitable piece of land outside the city and divided it equally among each household based on the area.
The government then paid for a lot of grain seeds bought from Ruan Mian and distributed them to each household. Of course, the seeds given by Ruan Mian were always the cheapest.
Basically, these seeds are grown and cultivated in space, and they are more hardy than ordinary crops after planting.
This season happens to be the time for sowing spring wheat in large quantities. The wheat seedlings cultivated in space are growing well. Compared with the varieties that have not been improved, the growth cycle of the ones they planted this time has been shortened a lot.
Seeing such remarkable results, everyone was extremely grateful to Ruan Mian.
Especially Lin Yuantang, in addition to handling official business, he also has to go to the plantation in person every day to check.
When he had nothing to do, he would go to the fields with the people.
He was approachable and had no official airs. Even ordinary fugitives could be assigned specific tasks based on the crimes they had committed.
But many of them were not like the former governors who exploited and plundered as much as they wanted. Instead, they mostly sent the convicts to places where they were needed.
For example, reclaiming wasteland, digging canals, building urban areas, etc.
It is best to use all this labor where it is most effective.
Although these jobs were hard, Lin Yuantang never treated them harshly. His daily food, accommodation, and working time were all reasonably allocated, which was a special favor to them.
In this way, within a month, Wu Heng had become a brand new person.
But it was the busy farming season and people had no time to take care of trivial matters.
One day, just as Ruan Mian was about to leave, planning to visit the tussah silkworm farm, the school manager came running in: "Madam Ruan! Go to the school quickly! Madam Zhang's child hasn't been seen all day, and now he's crying in the school, and no one can persuade him."
Ruan Mian frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Her child hasn't returned home for a day?"
When she arrived at the school, she found many people gathered in a group, and the woman from the Zhang family was sitting on the ground crying in pain.
"Has anyone seen my child? I've searched the entire village and there's no sign of him. He went to school yesterday and hasn't been seen since. My husband and I have been looking for him all night! Now my husband has gone deep into the mountains, and there's still no sign of him!"
