Chapter 303: Be Confused When You Need to Be Confused

"Miss Lin, are you going back tomorrow? I'll have someone take you back."

When someone entrusts you with a task, you naturally have to see it through to the end.

This Miss Lin disguised herself as a man, saying that he would take care of her, but he was always busy, and she didn't look like the type to stay in the backyard, so she wasn't seen all day.

Later, when he heard that she was going to find her cousin, he just sent someone to follow her. Now that she is finally leaving, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"I don't want you to send me off. I'm an adult now, how can I get lost? Just go about your business."

Lin Wenyue knew that the county government was busy and short-staffed, and that those runners were not enough, so they had to send two to her.

"Thank you, Master Xu, for these days."

Thinking of this, Lin Wenyue expressed her gratitude politely.

Xu Huaiyuan nodded.

"You don't have to be polite. The main thing is that I have a letter to send to Lord Lin tomorrow, and I have to send some sweet potatoes over as well. It's just a matter of convenience. Miss Lin, there's no need to refuse. After all, this is also Lord Lin's request, and I dare not neglect it."

Xu Huaiyuan insisted on sending someone to deliver it.

Lin Wenyue was speechless. This County Magistrate Xu was truly an old scholar, always looking very serious. She seemed to have never seen him smile. He was obviously so young, but he pretended to be dignified and mature.

But she didn't dare say it out loud.

"Thank you very much, Master Xu."

Just give it as a gift, it doesn’t matter.

Ye Jingxue looked at the young county magistrate and recalled that in his previous life, this county magistrate was also appreciated by his cousin the emperor. He was soon promoted to prefect and finally transferred to the capital. At the age of 26, he held the third-rank official position and became the dream lover of many ladies in the capital.

She seemed to remember that this gentleman had never married until he became famous.

"Wenyue, I will go back with you to visit your uncle and aunt tomorrow."

Ye Jingxue withdrew her gaze and looked at Lin Wenyue.

Lin Wenyue naturally agreed.

Old Mrs. Xu looked at Lin Wenyue with a look of regret:

“I just realized that Master Lin is actually a little girl. I haven’t even entertained you properly, but you’re leaving.”

Lin Wenyue, however, took hold of Old Lady Xu's arm, with a charming look on her face:

"Aunt Xu, I will come again in the future and visit you then. Please don't think I'm annoying."

A few people were chatting and laughing, and the county magistrate was not at all arrogant. The whole wheat field was full of joy and the officials and the people were like one family.

Shen Xinru, who was eating at the stone mill, also looked over here. Seeing Shen Yuan's wife chatting and laughing with the nobles, not looking timid at all, she couldn't help but said to her sister-in-law Zhang Cuihua:

"Did Shen Yuan's wife really flee from the north? I saw her sitting next to those two noble ladies, and she was just as impressive. Whether in appearance or temperament, she didn't look like she was from a peasant family. Just like those two noble ladies, her every move and gesture was that of a lady from a wealthy family."

Zhang Cuihua also looked over.

Yes, she discovered it when Wanwan came. Apart from anything else, her tender skin really didn't look like she came from a farming family.

"And Shen Yuan, I always feel like something is different, but I can't put my finger on it..."

Shen Xinru was full of confusion, but didn't know what to say.

Zhang Cuihua withdrew her gaze.

"Shen Yuan has been gone for eight or nine years. I don't know how hard it was for him to survive in the military camp. It's normal for him to have some changes. Don't mention it. He is Shen Yuan, a member of our Shen family. And Wan Wan, if he didn't come from a farming family, how could he know so much about farming?"

Zhang Cuihua glanced at Shen Xinru, knowing what she was thinking, and continued:

"They are all good kids. We will go to Xinping County to help you tomorrow. If they were not from our Shen family, how could they be so kind to us? You can see that our family is living a good life now thanks to them, and it will only get better and better in the future."

"Some things should be left vague, understand?"

Zhang Cuihua said a few words and Shen Xinru nodded.

"What the eldest sister-in-law said is a blessing for our Shen family."

Zhang Cuihua also grinned.

"Who says it's not true? It's also a blessing for our Daliushu Village."

After the county magistrate and his entourage ate the big pot meal, they prepared to go back.

This time they came well prepared, bringing a number of ox carts with them, ready to take away half of the sweet potatoes.

I heard that a cellar has been dug next to the granary to store these sweet potatoes.

There were a total of sixty stone of sweet potatoes, and Su Wanwan got 48 taels of silver.

Those were rewards in the past, but now they are real money earned from farming.

It's simply a sky-high price. Of course, this is only the case this year. There won't be such a price in the future.

After packing the sweet potatoes, Su Wanwan did not forget to ask Shen Hua to take out the oil. She did not hide it and said that this was the newly squeezed oil from her second uncle's oil mill, which was different from the ones sold on the market, so she asked him to take it back and try it.

Everyone knows the price of vegetable oil. Even though it’s just a small amount given away, it’s still very expensive.

Fortunately, none of them were shy people, and since they were treating each other as friends, they accepted the gifts without hesitation.

Xu Huaiyuan was in a hurry to go back and arrange the sweet potatoes, and also to write a letter to the prefect, and also to write a memorial by the way. He did not dare to waste time, and left with his men in a mighty manner.

The departing team was very spectacular, and the carts full of sweet potatoes caused a huge sensation. Many people secretly watched along the way.

But they didn't know what was installed in the car.

Lin Wenyue and Ye Jingxue left together. She was going to stay at Ye Jingxue's place until County Magistrate Xu sent someone to pick them up at the farm tomorrow and go to the government office together.

"Sister-in-law, how about you go to the government office with us tomorrow?"

Lin Wenyue invited her warmly. If it were in the past, Su Wanwan might have wanted to go out for a walk, but since she had to go to Xinping County tomorrow, she directly refused.

"I have something else to do tomorrow, so I'll definitely go when I have the chance."

She did not mention the matter of Xinping County. Although she knew that Ye Jingxue and King Cheng were familiar with each other, she still considered things one by one and was determined not to owe anyone a favor if she could handle it herself.

After seeing off these distinguished guests, the people of Daliushu Village were still filled with joy. They all stopped around the wheat field and chatted in groups of three or four.

Shen Songming and his son Shen Hua went to the old house and heard about Shen Xinru's family situation. They decided not to leave and decided to go to Xinping County with them tomorrow.

"We don't need so many people. We can handle it with a few young people. Tomorrow, uncle, second uncle, and aunt, you are all at home. Just brother, second brother, and Shen Hua, we will go together."

Shen Yuan was unwilling to take so many people with him.

"If Xinru wants to split up the family, it won't work without the elders. You guys are dumb, so I have to go."

Zhang Cuihua did not listen to Shen Yuan this time. The men in the Shen family were honest and didn't talk much. She had seen Xinru's mother-in-law before. If they started scolding, the men were no match for the women.

Su Wanwan knew what her aunt was thinking and immediately pulled Shen Yuan.

"Shen Yuan, let uncle and the others come with you. If you don't let them go, they will be worried and can't sit still at home."

Shen Yuan naturally listened to his wife in everything. After everyone discussed it for a while, Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan left the old house.

But when I got home, there were many villagers standing at the door.
