Chapter 288 What I Say Is What I Say
After sending away Jing Gao and others who were blocking the road, Zhou Yunshu and the other two returned to Jinguozhuang unhindered.
The scene in the village at this time was completely different from when they first arrived.
Less quiet, more lively; less lifeless, more vibrant.
"master!"
As soon as Zhou Yunshu entered the farm on horseback, Fu Rong, who had been squatting at the gate, staggered and stood up in panic.
"Have you been waiting long?" Zhou Yunshu's tone was no different from before.
Fu Rong shook his head and looked at Zhou Yunshu without blinking.
"It seems like you have a lot to say to me. Let's go."
"good!"
Fu Rong walked quickly beside Zhou Yunshu's horse. Zhou Yunshu slowed down her horse and listened to what Fu Rong had found out in just half a day.
Fu Ze did betray his master, although his reason for betraying him was to relieve his master's worries.
But Fu Rong ruthlessly exposed him, saying that he was just trying to share his worries, but in fact it was just an excuse to gain power and money for himself.
All the money earned by Fu Ze's family has been sent to the school by Fu Rong, and is temporarily being kept by people sent by Li Danier, waiting to be dealt with when Zhou Yunshu returns.
As for the other members of the Fu family, they are all still imprisoned in the Fu family, and no one has escaped.
After Fu Rong told Zhou Yunshu all the results of his investigation, Zhou Yunshu just nodded and said that she understood, and said nothing else.
Fu Rong originally wanted to ask again, but when he thought about Zhou Yunshu being busy all night and not sleeping, he silently swallowed all the words he had not yet said.
Although Zhou Yunshu is a person who cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes, he has to admit that Zhou Yunshu is not a bloodthirsty person.
Even though they were her slaves, she would not kill them indiscriminately.
Thinking of this, Fu Rong let out a breath and followed Zhou Yunshu quietly.
Zhou Yunshu went directly back to the residence that Fu Ze had originally arranged for her in Jinguozhuang.
Zhou Yunshu dismounted and heard Cen Miaoying's voice coming from the yard, "Sir!"
"What's wrong?"
"Hahaha, it's okay. I just thought my guess was perfect. You'll be here when the noodles are in the pot."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Cen Miaoying, who finally had a smile on her face that she should have at her age, and gave her a thumbs up generously.
"Our Miaoying is still the best!"
After receiving Zhou Yunshu's encouragement, Cen Miaoying happily returned to the kitchen.
Cen Miaoying made a bowl of rich and fragrant fish ball noodles for Zhou Yunshu. The fish was caught by Meng Nan early in the morning, and the fish balls were made by Cen Miaoying herself.
I have to say that she is really talented in cooking. At least Zhou Yunshu feels that Cen Miaoying's cooking skills are almost catching up with Dong Ge's.
After dinner, Zhou Yunshu took the original account book of Fujiazhuang and read it carefully while digesting her food in the yard.
Fu Ze's account books were very well kept. If the matter had not been exposed this time, Zhou Yunshu would not have had any doubts even if she saw the account books he prepared for her. It was really that the fake accounts he made were too beautiful.
Li Danier came when Zhou Yunshu was looking at the account book.
"master."
Zhou Yunshu glanced at her with a smile and said, "You go ahead."
"This is the list of money and belongings found in the Fu family."
Zhou Yunshu took it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
The wealth of a village head is almost equal to half of the private treasury of the Anshan County magistrate. How did he, a village head, accumulate all that?
"Master, should I, the village head, abdicate and let someone more capable take over?"
Li Danier interrupted Zhou Yunshu's thoughts with nervous words.
She looked at Li Danier, who had a complicated expression on her face, and asked, "Don't you want to do it anymore?"
Li Danier shook her head violently. She had never thought that one day a woman like herself could become the head of a village, but...
"All the young and strong men in the village have returned, but they don't trust me as the village head."
"Then you have to find a way to convince them." Zhou Yunshu closed the list that Li Danier brought and continued, "You are the head of the village. It is your job to convince them."
Li Danier breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhou Yunshu had no intention of replacing her.
As long as Zhou Yunshu doesn't replace her, she will use all means to stay in the position of village head.
"I understand, Master."
"Anything else?"
"there is none left."
"If not, inform everyone. I want to meet everyone in Zhuangzi in front of the school at noon."
"yes."
Zhou Yunshu was not made of iron. After Li Danier left, she briefly explained the situation to Wu Gui and the others and went back to her room to sleep.
I slept until noon, and when I woke up, the yard was filled with the smell of rice.
Zhou Yunshu was not very hungry at first, but after coming out, she saw Meng Bei and Meng Nan sitting under the porch with half a basket of big meat buns and eating them happily, so she couldn't help but go to the kitchen and get two herself.
One meat and one vegetable, the fillings prepared by Cen Miaoying are very fresh and fragrant.
After washing hands after eating, Zhou Yunshu took Chusan, Chunque, Mengnan and Mengbei to the school.
As for Wu Gui, he was busy in the kitchen with Kang Jingyu and others.
When Zhou Yunshu and Li Dani said they would have a meeting in the afternoon, they guessed that they would most likely leave this afternoon, so they made so many buns as food for them to take on the road.
And just as they thought, what Zhou Yunshu explained in class was just a repetition of what she said yesterday.
Especially the fact that meritorious service could free one from slavery. Although those who returned home from Magnolia Lake had heard this news from their families, they only dared to confirm it after hearing it again from Zhou Yunshu.
You know, it is easy for a good citizen to become a slave, but it is almost impossible for a slave to regain his status as a good citizen.
But Zhou Yunshu placed hope in front of them.
"Li Danier is the first head of Jinguo Village. I believe everyone has no doubt about it."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the farmer below who was frowning and about to speak, and said with a smile: "Even if you have something to say, keep it to yourself."
"Just remember one thing: I am the master, and what I say is what goes."
It’s not that democracy is not possible, but sometimes democracy is a waste of time. A certain degree of autocracy can save a lot of time.
"This time when I leave, I will take ten people with me from the manor. When I return, I will take twenty children with me. These twenty children will study at the master's house. The selection will be determined by their academic performance in the school, but there must be five girls."
The last sentence was said by Zhou Yunshu to Li Dani.
She didn't want to see the scene when Fu Ze was in office again, so the girl had to read to her.
"What about the ten people who were taken away this time?" Fu Rong asked.
Zhou Yunshu said: "The ten people I took away this time will be my personal guards, just like Gan Zhiyong and the others."
"Similarly, I'm taking ten people with me, and some will stay behind." Zhou Yunshu looked at Qi Sanshi and said, "Qi Sanshi's team will stay and assist Li Danier in managing Jinguo Manor."
Although Qi Sanshi was a little confused, he knew that he had to obey his master's orders.
"Yes, Master."
"Okay, as for the ten people I want to take away..."
Before Zhou Yunshu could finish her words, she was interrupted by someone from Gan Zhiyong's team running over from the village entrance, "Master, Master!"
"Our village has been surrounded!"
