Chapter 1051 Intercommunication
Zhang Juexia admired Li Yun's empathy very much, but she didn't know how to persuade her, so she had to find an excuse and stay away from her.
At the beginning, Zhang Juexia could still occasionally receive one or two letters, but gradually the correspondence between them became less and less.
Chen Liang came several times in a hurry, and each time he repeatedly warned them not to go out unless necessary and to stay at the farm.
As for the shop, it could barely hold on at the beginning, but as more and more people fled the famine, it gradually closed down.
Zhang Juexia urged Shen Liang several times to move to the village, but he declined.
Zhang Juexia was a little anxious, "You are fine, but where is your wife?"
Shen Liang chuckled, “Madam, you’ve forgotten what my father-in-law’s family does. My wife was taken away by her family a few days ago.
They knew I had a lot of things to do, so they didn't force me to stay. Otherwise, I would have to stay at the Shen family's farm now."
"It's me who delayed you."
“Madam, you are slapping me in the face when you say that.
You made me what I am. If I run away when something happens, I am not a human being.
I, Chen Liang, have already said that I will only follow you in this life, and I will only follow you, without any second thoughts."
"Okay, let's talk about business, I didn't ask you to show your loyalty.
Have you received any letters from Li Le and my elder brother?"
Shen Liang shook his head, “At this time, it’s difficult to even send a letter.
However, Brother Ren has sent someone there, and I figured they might be able to bring something back when they come."
"Brother Ren, why are you sending people to Shunhe County at this time?"
"He said he was going on a convoy trip."
Zhang Juexia no longer asked about business matters.
She just hoped that a letter would come so that she could also know the situation in Shunhe County.
After Shen Liang had lunch, he was ready to leave. Zhang Juexia gave him many instructions. Shen Liang jumped into the carriage and said, "Madam, I have remembered your words.
When Brother Ren returns from Shunhe County, I'll ask him to send some more people. I always feel that there are not enough people in the village who know martial arts."
"That's not enough. Every household is learning martial arts."
“They are all just fancy guys, and I’m talking about few people who really know the business.
The safety of you and Master Ben'er must be guaranteed no matter what."
"We are not important people, so there is no need to treat us too differently.
Shen Liang, we also have to take the escort agency into consideration."
"Ma'am, I understand, don't worry!"
After Chen Liang left, Zhang Juexia called Qin Eryong to check the food on the farm. The two of them felt relieved when they saw the house piled high with food.
Qin Eryong told Zhang Juexia, "Sister-in-law, when I was sending Brother Shen Liang off just now, a lot of people who had fled famine gathered outside our village."
"Are there many people?"
"Quite a few. Originally, I was thinking that if there were only a few people, I could lead them to the village.
But seeing so many of them, I became timid again."
"Then wait a little longer!
We have to take care of ourselves first."
"I heard the court is going to distribute porridge. Maybe they will go to the city tomorrow."
Zhang Juexia then remembered that Chen Liang had mentioned this matter, and she had asked Chen Liang to donate some grain to the government!
"Eryong, these grains on the farm are our life-saving food.
We have to take good care of it!"
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to tell me, everyone understands.
This time, everyone was very conscientious and arranged their shifts on their own initiative without me having to mention it.
The younger guy works the night shift, and the slightly older guy works the day shift.
In short, it was arranged perfectly.”
Since everyone had made arrangements, Zhang Juexia didn't say much. He just told Qin Eryong that when it was time to pay more wages, then pay more. There was no need to be stingy at this time.
"Sister-in-law, we learned from you, and none of us is reluctant to pay our wages.
This was said by Master Gao, I remember it clearly."
"I don't know whether you are praising me or insulting me."
After returning home, Li Yun looked at Zhang Juexia worriedly, "Madam, what about me?"
Zhang Juexia patted Li Yun and said, "Sister-in-law Yang, I understand your heart.
When Shen Liang came, I had already told him.
Have him send a message to Shunhe County. If Brother Yang doesn't want to come, then have Taohua come to you. Do you think this is feasible?"
"Ma'am, how can I thank you?"
"Thank you for nothing. This is what I should do."
"The main thing is that these past few days, whenever I think of them, I feel uncomfortable.
I haven’t had a good rest for several days.”
"It was my fault for being careless. I should have arranged these things earlier."
"No, I think I have too much to do."
"Let's stop arguing. I need to watch Ben'er rest."
"I'm still cooking porridge in the kitchen. I'll go check it out."
After Li Yun left, Zhang Juexia teased Ye Ben for a while. Even Ye Ben could sense that she was absent-minded and cried at her unhappily.
Zhang Juexia scratched his little nose with his hand, "Stinky boy, if you're unhappy, I'm even more unhappy.
I can understand Sister Yang’s feelings.
Actually, I'm not much better off either. I don't know how your father is doing.
He's only been gone a few months, but it feels like ages have passed.
Everything was fine when he went out, but before he came back, the outside was in chaos.
Alas, I don’t know how he is doing, I hope he is well!
Ye Ben may have sensed Zhang Juexia's anxiety. He was originally just humming softly, but soon he started crying loudly.
He was crying, but Zhang Juexia was in no mood to comfort him, so he just let him cry loudly.
When the nanny heard the sound, she coaxed Ye Ben with concern.
Seeing that Zhang Juexia looked worried, she sighed and ran to her room carrying Ye, who was crying with snot all over her face.
After hearing the sound, Li Yun also ran over and asked, "What happened?"
The nurse pointed inside, and Li Yun understood what was going on. "I'll stay with you. Let's stop the baby from crying first."
The wet nurse smiled gratefully at Li Yun.
After Ye Ben took the child away, Zhang Juexia realized that the child had been crying so hard that she had forgotten to comfort him.
Ren Xiaoyao took a business order from Shunhe County and told the people in Shunhe County about the situation here.
At the same time, he brought back the letter from Shunhe County to Zhang Juexia.
Ren Xiaoyao didn't let Chen Liang make this trip. He personally rode a horse and delivered it to Zhang Juexia.
"Sister, these are letters from my family. These two are from Shopkeeper Li Le, and the other one is from Old Yang to his wife."
When Zhang Juexia heard that there was a letter from Li Yun, he quickly asked her to take the letter away.
Zhang Juexia pushed aside the other people's letters and said, "Brother Ren, which is better, Shunhe County or Qingfeng City?"
"Of course Qingfeng City is better. Over in Shunhe County, the new county magistrate is still on the way. I wonder when he will take office?"
