There were also people who understood what was going on and were very upset when they heard this: "You guys are too ungrateful. Do you think Madam Han is going to support you for nothing? It's already good enough to have this. Don't be too greedy."
"So what if you are greedy? It's natural. I see you are so eager to speak for Madam Han. Do you have any ulterior motives? Madam Han is a famous beauty. But don't you think about your own status? How can Madam Han be interested in someone like you?"
The soldier was certain that the other soldier would not dare to complain to his superiors. He only said a few words. Even if he wanted to complain, he had no evidence and would just deny it to the death. His words not only contained malicious speculation about Su Wenyue, but also had the intention of ruining Su Wenyue's reputation.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have no intention of disrespecting Madam Han. You are just making up stories and have bad intentions."
"So what if I have bad intentions? Do you want to complain to your superiors? Who would believe you just based on your words? They might think you are doing this on purpose to curry favor with General Han. I don't want to bother with you, an idiot."
It was also because the soldier was too honest in his daily life, so no one took him seriously at all. He could only stand there with his eyes wide open and stare angrily. The soldier knew in his heart that even if he went to complain, nothing would happen, not to mention that he was not the kind of person who would slander others behind their backs, so he raised the question in person.
The few people parted unhappily, unaware that this scene was seen and recorded by someone in the dark.
"Xiuqi, what do you mean? Why do you let such messages spread everywhere? Even though those people who don't know what's good for them are only a small minority, it's still bad for my sister-in-law's reputation. My sister-in-law has good intentions, so how can we let those people with bad intentions ruin our reputation behind our backs!" Liu Xiu had wanted to intervene a long time ago, but he had let it go because Han Yu had informed him in advance. Now that the situation has come, he really can't keep his patience, and he doesn't know what Han Yu is up to.
"Uncle Wen, don't be impatient. My wife is upright and honest. Even if they want to slander her, it won't have any impact. It's better to take this opportunity to see clearly what people think, so as not to summon some ignorant and evil people to my wife's side, causing trouble and danger to her." Han Yu said slowly. Since he allowed the situation to develop, he could naturally control the situation.
When Liu Xiu heard Han Yu say this, he understood that Han Yu really loved his wife. He considered everything for her and put his heart on her. Thinking of the day when the city lord's wife and niece showed great courtesy to Han Yu but was coldly rejected by him, Liu Xiu felt a little emotional, but he felt more reassured about Han Yu in his heart.
Liu Xiu believed Han Yu's words when he was dying, but he still had some doubts. After experiencing so many things and becoming more mature, some characteristics of a superior in Liu Xiu became more and more obvious, and his suspicions grew stronger and stronger. Even though he believed it at the time, he was observing Han Yu's behavior. Fortunately, Han Yu performed well, so he gained more and more trust from Liu Xiu.
Anyone with ambition would find the chance to make friends with Liu Xinru and Liu Xinru's cousin. But Han Yu always kept a cold face towards the women who came up to him to show their courtesy, and was unwilling to even pay attention to them. Even when some women who didn't know the limits approached him, Han Yu's face would immediately turn dark. Thinking about that scene, Liu Xiu found it a little funny.
Everyone would be happy to have such a subordinate who is extremely capable but has no ambition and is loyal to him, so when it comes to Su Wenyue's matter, Liu Xiu completely stands on Han Yu's side and considers Han Yu's interests.
"Since you have a plan in mind, I won't ask any more questions. But I still want to advise you that it's better to resolve the matter as soon as possible. Although you and your wife are upright and have a clear conscience, not everyone is as upright as you. You may be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives. Sometimes you don't have to take reputation too seriously, but you can't completely ignore it." Liu Xiu spoke from the bottom of his heart, all based on his own experience. Although Han Yu was extremely intelligent, he was still too straightforward.
"Thank you, Uncle Wen, for your kind advice. I have learned my lesson and will resolve the issue as soon as possible." No matter what Han Yu thought in his mind, since Liu Xiu was truly thinking about him, he would naturally be happy to accept it with a sincere and grateful look on his face. In fact, this play was almost over and it was time to come to the end.
Although Su Wenyue was not in the military camp, she still heard all kinds of comments about her, some good, some bad, some defamatory, some complimentary, but she felt more in her heart that it was right to do so.
Fortunately, she had stated the rules and conditions at the very beginning, so now she can try out many things. Her actions were obviously kind, but people would make wild guesses and even tarnish her reputation. Even though she didn't care much about other people's thoughts, she felt a little disappointed. It was just like the saying goes: human hearts are hard to predict, and you won't be rewarded for doing good deeds.
Of course, except for a small number of people like this, most people are still very grateful. This is also the reason why she wants to continue to talk about this matter. We must believe that there are always more good people than bad people in this world, otherwise it would be so boring.
Su Wenyue was quite calm, because she had expected this in her heart. However, Xiaoxi was furious: "Madam, those people are too ungrateful. I think you don't need to care about them at all. Let them take the severance pay and go home. Let's see what good will come of them!"
Su Wenyue shook her head: "Okay, stop talking in anger. People like this are only a minority. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. This is too extreme. I have prepared everything I asked you to prepare."
"Don't worry, ma'am. Everything is ready. We have picked all the best seeds. But wouldn't the types of seeds be a bit monotonous? Don't we need to prepare some rice seeds?" Although Xiaoxi did as Su Wenyue instructed, she was a little confused. They were people from the south, and their main meal was rice. Although crops such as sweet potatoes and corn had high yields, they could not completely replace rice.
"No need, just do as I say. In addition to these, we just need to open up a few plots of land to grow some vegetables." Su Wenyue said without hesitation. She naturally had her reasons for doing so, but she couldn't say them out loud. Even though she valued Xiaoxi so much, some secrets could not be shared, regardless of trust or not.

The reason why she did this was because of her memories from her previous life. In her memories, the next two years were years of famine due to scarce rain and widespread drought, and many places had no harvest. This was one of the reasons why she chose this place when choosing a residence at that time, because this place is close to water and a big river. Even if a drought comes, there will not be a complete lack of water. Sweet potatoes, corn, etc. are all relatively drought-resistant plants.
