Chapter 231 I am only good to the people I care about
The river excavation work has been making progress. Xiao Wujin and Shen Ru walked on the river embankment, with Luneng consciously keeping a distance behind him.

"Refugees are digging upstream, and people are digging downstream. I believe it can be dug before the dry season arrives."

Xiao Wujin looked at the entire river, with his ambition and expectations for the future in his eyes.

Shen Ru looked up at Xiao Wujin, impressed by the look in his eyes.

How was this big project carried out when the imperial court did not distribute salaries?

She didn't need to ask, Xiao Wujin's methods of making money were never for himself.

"Do the people get paid for digging the river?" Shen Ru couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I have it. It's 200 yuan a month. I didn't pay for this money."

"Huh?" Shen Ru was surprised, who else could be taken advantage of?
"Isn't that what you said? Let the rich people in the city raise donations. Then the river embankment can be named after it."

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru and said, obviously praising Shen Ru.

There are really people who want this false reputation!

Shen Rule said, "That's good. When the time comes, we can also erect a merit monument. When the time comes to build the bridge, we can also erect a merit monument. Who is it and how much it costs? It should be written clearly."

"Well, you have a good idea."

Xiao Wujin felt that Shen Ru had many clever ideas for amassing money.

Shen Ru smiled, she had seen a lot of future generations!

"Shen Ru, it's Shen Ru, Shen Ru, look here, it's me, it's me!"

In the river, a woman suddenly chased Shen Ru and shouted.

Shen Ru looked over and didn't recognize the unkempt woman.

"Shen Ru, I am Mrs. Xu, you saved me, do you still remember?"

Shen Ru didn't remember, but still looked at the woman in confusion.

"It's just that the official wanted to insult me. You...you stood up for me. My husband's family is your uncle..."

Shen Ru remembered it, it turned out to be her!

"Oh, it's you. You cried and complained that you had nothing to eat, but you disliked the steamed buns I gave you. You also wanted to push me into the mud with others, but I turned around and threw you into the mud, right?"

Shen Ru's words were as smooth as flowing water, which made Mr. Xu, who had a dirty face, speechless.

"Shen Ru...for the sake of being relatives, you...you can help us!"

After a long time, Shen Ru wanted to leave, but then she heard Xu continue to speak.

"You have become an adult, but you cannot ignore the life and death of your relatives!"

Shen Ru smiled and looked at Xu with a mocking expression.

"I don't care about your life or death, do you know that now?"

"The so-called relatives mean that when the Shen family was in its prime, the autumn wind was blowing from time to time; when the Shen family was in trouble, everyone wanted to add insult to injury."

"Sir, sir, please do well and let us go. You have seen that Shen Ru is such a narrow-minded person. She serves others with sex. She is not worthy of you, sir!"

Seeing that Shen Ru was merciless, Mrs. Xu immediately turned to Xiao Wujin and cried.

"Pull away!" Xiao Wujin said to the officer with a cold face.

"Let's go." In front of everyone, Xiao Wujin took Shen Ru's hand and led Shen Ru forward.

"Aru, there are always warmth and coldness in the world, so don't pay too much attention to it."

Seeing Xiao Wujin comforting herself, Shen Ru smiled as if it didn't matter. "Do you think I care?"

"My family is actually quite complicated. My father is honest, but there are always people who take advantage of me. The family business was created by the ancestors, but it is my parents who maintain it. These people relied on their in-law relationship, and many of them used to do it. I got convenience; the Shen family was guilty and involved, so it was all my father's fault. That's all. When I saw someone who was unfair, I stretched out my hand to help them, and they wanted me to take charge of their whole family. Meal and simple meals are not enough, I want delicacies from mountains and seas!"

Shen Ru said sarcastically: "I am not a soft persimmon. Anyone who wants to take advantage of my family will be beaten out by me!"

After saying this, Shen Ru immediately looked at Xiao Wujin.

"You don't have any problem with me, do you?"

With Shen Ru's eyes, Xiao Wujin felt that if he said just one word, she would be able to throw away his hand.

"No, absolutely not."

Xiao Wujin immediately said: "Aru, it is a rule of thumb not to judge someone arbitrarily. A person has thousands of faces, and there is no absolute right or wrong of good or bad!"

"Xiao Wujin, I am not as noble and selfless as you. In fact, I am so small-minded. I only want to be good to the people I care about."

Shen Ru said sincerely: "If you change your mind one day, I will just walk away. I..."

"Aru!" Xiao Wujin held Shen Ru's hand tightly. "There will never be a day when I like you, not the Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple. I don't need your love, I just want to be your only favorite."

"We are all human beings, and we all have our own selfish motives and temperaments. Aru, you should never doubt yourself. You are very good, very good!"

Shen Ru smiled, Xiao Wujin's words were so touching.

"Xiao Wujin, you are so eloquent, why haven't any girls liked you before?"

"Because only when I face you can I express what's in my heart."

Luneng, who was following not far away, said that he really knows how to please girls, and his words touched people's hearts.But, what kind of sin has he committed? He wants to hear the Lord talk about love with Miss Shen!He doesn’t have a sweetheart yet!
After the river inspection was over, Shen Ru felt hungry.

"Xiao Wujin, let me take you to see my ranch!"

"it is good!"

Shen Ru brought Xiao Wujin to the ranch, but the manager of the Huang family, Fei, was shocked. Looking at the appearance of the two of them, he understood!
"Miss Shen, Master Xiao, come here at this time, you haven't had lunch yet!"

"Yes, Manager Fei, I just brought him here to have a look and have a meal by the way."

Shen Ru answered calmly and generously.

"Sister Shen!" Dunzhu was at the ranch. When he saw Shen Ru, he immediately ran out happily.

Everyone in the Shen family knew about the matter between Shen Ru and Xiao Wujin, but Dunzhu felt comfortable calling Mr. Xiao.

"Sister Shen, let me take you to lunch."

Xiao Wujin was a little curious when he saw the brand new house.

"Is this the place to eat?"

"Yes, let's wait for the rest first, but the canteen must be built. There are currently about ten people, and three meals a day must be taken into account."

The canteen was built together with the sheepfold and stables. Although the lambs and foals had not yet arrived, dozens of people were building it every day, so the canteen was naturally indispensable.

The rows of seats in the dining hall made Xiao Wujin curious, why was this different from what he had seen before?
"This is the window for cooking. You can eat as much as you want. Here is the food, so you can take it yourself."

Dunzhu said to Xiao Wujin and Luneng: "These were all planned by Sister Shen before she went to Ganzhou."

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru with approval in his eyes. She was really full of ideas!
"Look what I do, take it for yourself."

As Shen Ru said that, she went to get a tray to load the dishes.
