Chapter 139: Get them all out
When Village Chief Wu heard that Shen Ruolan was really leaving, he sighed, looked at her reluctantly and said, "Madam Shen, can't you stay in the village with everyone, working from sunrise to sunset?"
After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "The several valleys outside the South Mountain are all the territory of the North Sea. Madam Shen can take root there and live well without going deep into the South Mountain."
Shen Ruolanlan shook her head at Village Chief Wu and said, "I have made up my mind to leave. Uncle Wu, there is no need to try to keep me."
Shen Ruolan understood the good intentions of Village Chief Wu. Firstly, he was reluctant to let her, his cash cow, leave. Secondly, he was worried that she would be attacked by the two countries one day. But she didn't want to take root in the land of Beiming anymore. To be precise, she didn't want to confront Jiang Dichen. After all, the farther she was from him, the more at ease she felt.
Seeing that persuasion was useless, Village Chief Wu had no choice but to say to Shen Ruolan, "Then Madam Shen, please be careful when you go into the mountains. We will help you take care of your things in the village."
"Thank you, Uncle Wu." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she instructed Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, bring over the thirty pieces of cloth that were left today."
"Yes, master." After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she quickly brought people to fetch all the cloth left by her master.
Shen Ruolan picked up a piece of cloth and said to Village Chief Wu, "Uncle Wu, this is what I give to the villagers. One piece for each family. The rest is a gift from my younger generation to you. Please accept it for everyone."
She had lived here for several months, causing a lot of trouble to the villagers and causing them to offend a lot of people, so she was willing to give these things to the villagers.
Village Chief Wu looked at the cloth that Shen Ruolan handed over, and said with a touching look on his face: "Madam Shen, you have already given a lot to everyone, you should keep these cloths for everyone."
Although Shen Ruolan's arrival caused them a lot of trouble, she was also generous in giving benefits to everyone, which made everyone's life much better than before.
Shen Ruolan said: "I have prepared everything for everyone. This is for the villagers. Uncle Wu, please don't refuse."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she instructed Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, call Uncle Sun over and ask him to help move these cloths to Uncle Wu's house."
"Yes, master." said Liu Gu.
Seeing this, Village Chief Wu had no choice but to stand up and bow to Shen Ruolan, saying, "In this case, I would like to thank Madam Shen on behalf of everyone else and wish you a safe journey."
Shen Ruolan smiled at Village Chief Wu and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wu."
After Shen Ruolan sent Village Chief Wu away, she hurriedly packed up the children's clothes and diapers. If there were any wet ones, she washed them and hung them aside. By the time she was sure everything was in order, it was already midnight. She simply washed up and went to bed.
The next day, after Shen Ruolan and the others got up and had their meal, it was already the Si hour. Ji Han hurriedly asked people to line up to come in and move the food, and the farm tools would be moved next time they came back. After all, compared with farm tools, food was much more precious.
After everyone had moved their own loads of food, Shen Ruolan came out of the house carrying her child on her back and asked Ji Han, "Ji Han, how much food do we have left this time?"
All the food that Mu Jinxuan had given her before had been transported to Fuzhai, and now what was being transported was the 300,000 kilograms that Qin Zhen had given her.
Ji Han told Shen Ruolan truthfully: "Master, there are only about fifty bags left. I will definitely be able to move them all next time I come."
Shen Ruolan listened and nodded, "Well, these are all that's left. Don't worry, let's hurry on our way."
"Yes," Ji Han said loudly to the team behind him, "Fellow villagers, get ready to go."
"Yes," the villagers said, and hurriedly picked up their food and walked forward.
Shen Ruolan, Liu Gu and others walked behind.
Ji Han, who had already walked out, saw Shen Ruolan carrying the child. He hesitated for a moment, walked towards Shen Ruolan and said, "Master, why don't you let me carry the little master."
Shen Ruolan smiled and said, "No need, Aunt Liu can carry me on her back, you are responsible for everyone's safety."
"Yes." After listening to his master, Ji Han continued to move forward.
Among the crowd, the one with the least luggage was Ji Ning. Because of her poor health, Shen Ruolan asked her to help her carry some diapers for her children. Apart from her own clothes, she basically carried nothing else.
Liu Gu and Shen Ruolan carried the children together. Because the children were too young, it was not easy for one person to carry two. Shen Ruolan asked Liu Gu to help her carry her son, while her daughter slept soundly on her back.
The villagers of Nanfeng Village couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when they saw Shen Ruolan and the others walking away. They wished so much that this capable and generous woman could stay in their village. However, everyone has their own aspirations, and since the woman didn't want to stay, it was useless for them to try to keep her.
When the Xia villagers on the other side of the river heard that Shen Ruolan had left, they all stood on the river bank and watched. Like the Nanfeng villagers, their eyes were filled with reluctance.
This woman had helped them earn quite a bit of money in just a few months here, and they really hoped that she would not leave. Unfortunately, even the villagers of Bei Ming could not keep her, let alone outsiders like them.
On the way into Nanshan, perhaps because their team was strong, they did not see any bandits causing trouble along the way. The journey was supposed to take three days, but Shen Ruolan and her group arrived at Fuzhai in just two and a half days.
When the villagers of Fu Village saw Shen Ruolan coming back, they all greeted her happily at the entrance of the village and said, "Welcome home, village leader."
Shen Ruolan looked at everyone and smiled, "Thank you, everyone. Go back to your own business. If anything happens later, I'll send someone to notify you."
"Yes, village chief." After the villagers finished speaking, they turned around and went about their own business.
After Shen Jing and others had left, he stepped forward and saluted Shen Ruolan with a serious face, saying, "Your subordinate greets the master."
Shen Ruolan looked at him and asked, "Shen Jing, how is the village doing during the time I'm not in Fuzhai?"
Shen Jing told Shen Ruolan truthfully: "My Lord, everything is fine in Fuzhai."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ruolan, seeming to want to say something else.
Seeing this, Shen Ruolan looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shen Jing hesitated for a moment, and told Shen Ruolan truthfully: "Master, the head of Baitie Village, Bai Shao, came to propose to you yesterday, but I kicked him out."
When Shen Ruolan heard Bai Zhen come to propose to her, she was speechless. She had only met him a few times, and he suddenly came to propose to her. Didn't she think it was a bit rash?
Seeing that Shen Ruolan didn't say anything, Shen Jing thought she was angry. He lowered his head and apologized to her, "Master, I'm sorry. Next time, I won't dare to make decisions on my own."
Shen Ruolan looked at him and said, "You did a good job this time. Next time someone comes to propose marriage, kick them out."
Shen Ruolan has never thought about getting married. She already has a son and a daughter, and marriage has no meaning to her anymore. Why bother finding a few ancestors to serve her?
You know, in this feudal ancient times, the role of a daughter-in-law was not an easy one. She would be stupid to get married.
