Chapter 154: Isn’t this a mistake?

Shen Ru called Cuixi and Mul Qin to go to the mountaintop that belonged to him the next day.

"Mulchin, can you find someone to fence this land?"

What Shen Ru was talking about was the area where black water emerged.

"Cui Xi, remember the location first, and then take Anqiao and the others together to collect all the black water that comes out."

"We need to ensure that this black water does not flow out and affects the farmland of surrounding farmers."

"Miss, does this mountain already belong to you?"

Cuixi looked at Shen Ru with admiration. She had already tried the vinyl, and it melted instantly. She also asked the candle craftsman who said that it could be mixed with wax to make special candles.

"Well, the land deeds are all in my hand, doesn't it belong to me?"

Shen Ru responded, "Mulqin, can you ask all the surrounding farmers to come over?"

"Good lady."

Mulqin was a local and communicated very smoothly with the surrounding farmers. After a while, many farmers gathered in front of Shen Ru.

"Everyone, this hilltop will be mine from now on. The black water flowed through your fields before and affected your farming. In the future, I will fence that area and try not to let the black water affect you."

"What is this black water? Will it poison our crops?"

"That is, if you say water is not water and oil is not oil, can you still grow anything on the land that was left before?"

"Yes, yes, if we can't grow anything anymore, what will we do?"

Listening to the farmers' worried words, Shen Ru shouted loudly.

"Everyone, listen to me."

"The ground where the black water flows is only on the surface. It won't be a problem if you remove some soil!"

"Now is the farming season. You can try to plant it first. If there is something wrong with the things when harvesting, I will compensate you."

Shen Ru's words shocked the farmers.

"Girl, this hilltop wasn't yours before, right? Why did you buy this hilltop and pay us compensation? You... aren't you afraid of being taken advantage of?"

"That's right, girl, you've been deceived, haven't you? I've never seen this thing before, and no one knows if it's poisonous or not!"

"Fellow folks, folks, please be quiet. My name is Shen Ru. What I said today will count!"

Shen Ru announced his name and spoke comforting words for a long time before the farmers walked away with doubts.

"Mulchin, please do this as soon as possible!"

After the farmers left, Shen Ru took Mul Qin and Cui Xi to the place where black water was still emerging.

"Don't worry, Miss. I'll call someone as soon as I get back."

Mul Qin agreed and looked at Shen Ru with admiration.

"Miss, you are really kind. You know it's not easy for farmers, so you bought this mountain on purpose!"

Shen Ru was stunned for a moment, and felt a little guilty when she heard Mul Qin's sincerely admiring tone.

Cui Xi pursed her lips and snickered. Her young lady was doing good deeds and getting rich together.

After explaining some things to Mulqin, Shen Ru took the two of them home.

"Miss, you are back. People from the county government have been here. They said that someone sued you and asked you to go to the county government when you came back."

As soon as he got home, An Qiao said to Shen Ru with a worried look.

"Madam went to the embroidery workshop, and the master was editing old books in the study, and the servant didn't bother him."

Shen Ru nodded and muttered: "Sue me, who will sue me?"

"Then, miss, shall we go to the Yamen now?"

Cuixi asked immediately.

"Go!" Over at the county government office, Shen Ru was told what had happened in a low voice by the government servant when she arrived.

The ones who sued her were Shen Fu and Yang, her third uncle and three aunt.

"Shen Ming's death has nothing to do with me. Why are they suing me? To be honest, I still certify it!"

Shen Ru said something innocent.

"Miss Shen, we also said this, but the couple insisted that Shen Ming's death was your fault."

The yamen officer replied: "My lord has detained the two of them for contempt of court, but this nonsense is also a headache for you. Originally, this could be done with a thirty-year ban, but your lord is sympathetic to the loss of a son." It hurts, so I asked you to come over and talk to them."

"Why should a family matter be brought to court?"

The yamen servant's words came from the county magistrate.

He also took Shen Ru to the cell where Shen Fu and his wife were detained.

"Shen Ru, it must be you. It was you who killed my Ming'er!"

As soon as he saw Shen Ru, Yang stretched out his hands through the cell door to scratch her.

"Shen Ming died in a fight with local gangsters. Who told you that it was related to me?"

Shen Ru said slowly, "Well, I guess it's the second uncle. He's really... he's not honest even after having been in prison!"

"Shen Ru, do you have a bad conscience? Who are we? Do you have to do something so cruel?"

Shen Fu helped his wife, looked at Shen Ru with a sad look and said.

"Ming'er said that when he established a foothold in Liangzhou, he would take us out of the quarry. We waited and waited. After leaving the quarry, we went to dig the river, and we heard that Ming'er was dead. Shen Ru... Do you dare to swear that you didn’t harm Ming’er?”

"I swear, I didn't kill Shen Ming."

Shen Ru said directly.

"you you……"

Shen Fu looked at Shen Ru's appearance and was speechless for a moment.

"Impossible, you are the one who killed me tomorrow. There is no need for Shen Tong to lie to us."

However, Yang still pointed at Shen Ru and cried and cursed: "Shen Ru, you have deceived others so much that they can't deceive me. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!"

"Tch, he couldn't do anything to me when he was alive, why am I still afraid that he's dead?"

Shen Ru sneered, "I still advise the third uncle and the third aunt to recognize the matter clearly, so what if you keep trying to fight me. I didn't kill him, so there's no way I'm the murderer!"

"Think about it for yourselves. Before you are too old, you should have another baby as soon as possible!"

"You...you..." Shen Fuqi's chest hurt.

"Shen Ru, we are all members of the Shen family. Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will watch you oppress your fellow clan members in heaven?"

"Third uncle, when we separated, we said we had nothing to do with each other anymore. Why have we become one family again now?"

Shen Ru said: "Besides, you know very well how I, Shen Ru, do things! Not all of my family members are named Shen. I help the people I should help, but I don't want to help a dog that will bite me at any time!"

"Shen Ru, who are you calling a dog? I am your third aunt!"

Yang said angrily and looked at each other with Shen Fu. To put it bluntly, they were jealous of Shen Fu as a family.

They all belong to the Shen family, so why doesn't Shen Ru's family have to do hard labor?

The most disgusting thing is the siblings Qian and Shen Ping. If Shen Ru's family can accept them, why can't they help them?

"Shen Ru, Ming'er has left, and we feel very sad. For the sake of the family, can't you give us a hand?"

Shen Fu looked at Shen Ru and said, "I am your third uncle!"

So, the desperate act was to win her sympathy?

Shen Ru smiled. She really admired the thinking of Shen Fu and his wife. First they scolded her and accused her of killing Shen Ming, and then asked her to help them. Does this mean she is a fool?
"Three uncles and three aunts, the government will give you an answer. Well, dig the river well and never see you again."
