Chapter 70: Being Troubled, Fighting Back (2/2)



Haha, you threw your shoes faster than that girl shot the arrow before, and those two slaps from your mother felt so good.

As I said..."

Aunt Wu continued talking, forgetting her fear as she spoke, and her face showed a schadenfreude that was visible to the naked eye.

"Um, Auntie, what's the situation with the land reclamation that the village head's wife and the others mentioned earlier, but they can't compete with other villages?"

Xiao Ling'er interrupted Aunt Wu's endless explanation, otherwise it might be dark by the time she finished.

It can be seen that this aunt is in high spirits and has deep resentment towards Wang and others.

"It's an order from the county magistrate, telling the villagers to reclaim as much land as possible every day. Six months from now, the top three villages that reclaim the most land will receive generous rewards from the government."

Xiao Ling'er understood. This was just like how modern governments encourage people to grow more crops by providing subsidies and benefits.

"Was the village chief of Misty Village appointed by the county magistrate himself?" Xiao Ling'er heard from her aunt that the village chief was incompetent. It was a misfortune for the villagers to have such a person as the village chief.

"He was the temporary village chief. At that time, there were only a few families in the village, and none of them could read. I heard that Chen Laosan had attended a private school for two years and could read a few words.

However, the county magistrate also said that once Misty Village has more residents, they will re-elect a formal village chief."

"Okay, thank you for telling me, and thank you for speaking up for us before. I won't keep you any longer, it's time to make dinner."

Xiao Ling'er heard what she wanted to hear and ended the topic.

"Okay, okay, my last name is Wu, you can just call me Aunt Wu." When Aunt Wu saw that the sun had set, she said something to Xiao Ling'er and hurried back home.

Xiao Ling'er, her mother and her two sons were planning to go up the mountain and stay overnight, and then go to the county to find a construction worker tomorrow.

"Girls, it's you. What a coincidence! We are really destined to meet!" At this time, a surprised female voice came from the intersection.

Xiao Ling'er, her mother and her two children turned around and saw the mysterious combination they had seen two months ago.

Ren Yanran still had a backpack on her back, her son hanging on her chest, and a bow and arrow slung across her shoulder.

"Come on, go to my house and have dinner at my house tonight."

Ren Yanran was very happy to see Xiao Ling'er and her mother and son. She warmly invited them in a familiar manner.

Xiao Yuhao and Mu Xiya both looked at Xiao Ling'er. Xiao Ling'er hesitated for two seconds and then nodded in agreement.

Things are different now than before. Their family cannot always act on their own and they still have to get along well with the villagers.

Selfishly, Xiao Ling'er was a little curious about Ren Yanran herself. Not only was she curious, she also admired her from the bottom of her heart.

For a young and beautiful unmarried mother to be able to thrive in ancient times during a famine, it would have been impossible without some skills.

Her behavior is not as reserved and gentle as that of ancient women, and her tone of voice does not sound like that of someone who traveled from modern times.

What kind of man would pick such a magical and wonderful woman and then abandon her?

Her son's name is Ren Qinghan, and he has her last name. Could it be that she ran away with the baby? Will there be a plot in the future where she runs away and he chases her, and she can't escape even if she has wings?

"Come, aunt, girl, brother, this is my home, please sit wherever you want, I will make dinner."

Ren Yanran's voice made Xiao Ling'er retract all the messy guesses in her mind.

Watching Ren Yanran place her son on a piece of soft cloth, he didn't cry or make a fuss, his entire attention was still on the monkey puppet in his hand. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
