Chapter 162 She is your cousin
Shen Yinghao was looking at the children in Aunt Liu's arms, and he was a little absent-minded. After hearing what his niece said, he turned around and asked her with a distressed face, "Lan'er, are you married?"
Shen Ruolan nodded to Shen Yinghao and said, "Uncle, this matter is over. Let's eat while it's hot."
There are many people talking, and Shen Ruolan didn't want to talk too much about her and Jiang Dichen.
The more she acted like this, the more Shen Yinghao felt that his niece had been wronged, and it made him feel distressed. However, his niece was unwilling to say more, and as a grown man, he could not ask about it. He thought for a while and said to Shen Ruolan, "When spring comes, you can come back to Medicine King Valley with us. When you get there, your cousin will keep you company, so life won't be too boring."
Shen Yinghao's words made Shen Ruolan burst out laughing and said, "Uncle, you really don't have to worry about me. I'm doing fine."
After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "I am very busy every day, and when I am free, I have two children to accompany me and entertain me. My life is really fulfilling and comfortable now."
Shen Yinghao looked at his niece's genuine smile, which did not seem fake. He was silent for a moment and asked her, "Are you really not going to Medicine King Valley?"
Shen Ruolan still insisted: "I am fine here, I don't want to go anywhere."
From now on, this will be Shen Ruolan's Tianhe home. She only needs to guard this uninhabited mountain and prevent outsiders from disturbing it. She can live a peaceful life here with her children.
Shen Ruolan's insistence made Shen Yinghao a little unhappy, but he also knew that they had just met and had no family ties. It might be difficult for her to accept them all at once. After a brief silence, he said to Shen Ruolan, "Okay, if you don't want to go, I won't force you. When I come back, I'll let Fei'er come to accompany you so that you sisters can get to know each other and improve your relationship."
Shen Ruolan scooped a bowl of rice and handed it to Uncle Shen. She looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Uncle, Fei'er is..."
Shen Yinghao said: "She is your cousin, and she has a bit of an eccentric personality. When she comes, you two, one quiet and the other active, can complement each other."
In Uncle Shen's opinion, his niece is too quiet and his daughter is too lively. It would be fine if they could share the property equally.
Shen Ruolan readily agreed: "Okay."
After saying this, she picked up the food and said to her uncle, "Uncle, please eat the food."
Shen Yinghao nodded to his niece, lowered his head and started eating.
Shen Yinghao's arrival had no other impact on Shen Ruolan except that he brought Jing Yun with him. She continued to do what she usually did.
Shen Yinghao had nothing to do during the day, so he followed the villagers out looking for food into the mountains to collect herbs. He would go home at night, and his life was quite fulfilling.
On this day, Shen Jing, who had been away for seven days, returned to the village with a large group. The villagers of Fuzhai looked at the group of nearly a thousand people, more than half of whom were elderly, weak and women, which made everyone frown.
A team with more boys than girls is not a good idea, because most of the land reclamation work involves physical labor, which cannot be done without men.
However, although everyone was unhappy, no one said anything. After all, they also depended on the village chief for their livelihood. Without the village chief, they were nothing.
Shen Jing found Shen Ruolan and reported to her: "Master, everyone has been brought here, what should we do now?"
Shen Ruolan thought for a moment and asked Shen Jing, "On the first day we entered the mountains, Ji Han took everyone to hunt, and they almost lost their lives in the wilderness because of a greedy boy. Did you go with them that time?"
Shen Jing answered Shen Ruolan truthfully: "I went."
After saying this, he looked at Shen Ruolan and paused before asking, "Master, why are you asking this?"
Shen Ruolan said: "I heard from Ji Han that the place is quite flat. I plan to let them go there to open up wasteland."
When Shen Jing heard that Shen Ruolan wanted to let the group of old and weak women go there to open up wasteland, he frowned and said to her, "Master, although we have driven away many large wild animals there recently, there are still many snakes in the grass. If we let them go there, I'm afraid they will all be scared to death in a few days."
Unexpectedly, Shen Ruolan said nonchalantly, "It's winter now, and the snakes are hibernating. We can use this time to speed up the reclamation process. By next year, even if there are snakes again, we won't be so scared."
In fact, what Shen Ruolan didn't say was that there were so many of them, and when they ran out of food, the few snakes in the grass would not be enough to fill their stomachs.
However, she should just think about this in her heart, so as not to say it out loud and cause imbalance in everyone and disagreement.
Because the villagers who were conquered and the refugees she brought would naturally be treated differently.
After all, one of them is a favor to others, and the other is a grudge against others, and their attitudes towards her are also different.
Shen Jing heard that the snake was hibernating, and he did not object to Shen Ruolan's suggestion. He just asked her: "Master, when will we send them over?"
Shen Ruolan looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so she said to Shen Jing, "Let them rest at the entrance of the village for one night, and we'll take them there early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, I'll tell everyone right away." After Shen Jing finished speaking, he turned and walked down the mountain.
After Shen Jing left, Shen Ruolan went to hang out in several large kitchens. As the business grew bigger, she had fewer and fewer people around her.
Therefore, she wanted to observe secretly to see if there were any people among the villagers who had strong ability to do things and good character.
What's more, after much observation, she actually found a few useful people among the many villagers. Two of them were educated, namely Xie Chi and Jian Bin, both young men in their twenties. When they heard that she wanted to promote them, they both seemed very happy.
The other three are Xue Youcai, Xu Eryong, and Xiong Dahai. Although they have not been to school, they are tall and strong with righteous faces. There should be no problem in letting them manage the villagers brought back by Shen Jing.
Shen Ruolan looked at them and asked, "Are you capable of doing what I have assigned to you?"
The five of them looked at each other and responded to Shen Ruolan confidently: "To reply to the village leader, we can do it."
Shen Ruolan heard that they were capable of doing the job, so she said to them, "Okay, then you guys go and get ready, and leave with everyone tomorrow morning."
"Yes, village chief." After the five people finished speaking, they turned around and went back to their room to pack their things.
Shen Ruolan also hurried home and prepared to write a plan for several people to follow, so that everyone could try their best to carry out her plan if there were no unexpected events.
.
The next day, Shen Ruolan came to the entrance of the village and said to the villagers: "My fellow villagers, before entering the mountain, I will first explain to you the rules and treatment for entering the mountain this time. After you listen to it, those who are willing to stay, please stay, and those who are not willing to stay, please return the same way. I, Shen Ruolan, will not make things difficult for you."
