Chapter 269: Be tough when you should be tough
"How can life be so difficult? There is also a house, the shop floor of the embroidery workshop, and the rent is provided by my sister for one year. Shen Feng's repairs are also given this year. To put it bluntly, if your embroidery workshop can continue We have money, why are we crying?"

Lian didn't show any mercy at all, and spoke simply and neatly.

"Ah, sister, am I talking too much? It seems that my status is not suitable for speaking."

In another sentence, Lian couldn't even say the words he asked Qian to scold.

"Ms. Qian, do you have anything else?" Mother Shen praised Aunt Lian in her heart. She also took care of the friendship between the two families and did not say harsh words.

Qian also wanted to save face. After being squeezed by Aunt Lian, she bit her back teeth and forced a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I know that we orphans and widowed mothers will be bullied sooner or later."

"She's not an orphan or a widower, right? Isn't the second master digging a river?"

Aunt Lian spoke again: "Think about the second master, your days are like one in the sky and one on the earth!"

Qian was unable to utter a single word. Her relationship with the Shen family was also maintained by her husband's family. She was determined to draw a clear line with her husband and sought shelter from the Shen family; but Ping'er said that she could support her and her husband. My son, it’s not as satisfying as being the master of one’s own family.

"Sister-in-law, I came here by mistake today after all!" Qian said sadly, said a blessing to Shen's mother, turned around and left.

"Look at her appearance, she's even aggrieved. Sister, I can make her give up this time!"

Lian said sarcastically, "The money given to them is not too little, so they won't have to worry about living a good life."

"What you said is what I want to say. The master cares about the old relationship, so I will save some kindness for him. Hey, this second wife, ha!"

Mother Shen sneered and didn't want to say anything else.

Shen Ru slept until noon, and his blood returned directly, feeling refreshed.

She couldn't help but want to laugh when she learned from Cuixi's mouth that the second aunt came in the morning and was turned back by Aunt Lian.

"The second aunt's temperament probably became firm when she broke up with the second uncle. Shen Ping left to live alone, and she stayed, and no one drove her away. She could only live a stable life, and she wanted to have both children. There’s nothing wrong with that. But if something goes wrong and you come back to find someone, it’s no wonder that even my aunt ran away!”

"Eldest lady, who can say otherwise? This second lady is pretty cool. When she lived in the west wing, no one said anything about her."

An Qiao was combing Shen Ru's hair and couldn't help but say.

"Is it... raining outside?" Shen Ru couldn't help but asked strangely after hearing the sound of splashing outside.

"It really rained suddenly." Cuixi stepped forward to close the window, "It's really strange, it was sunny just now."

"Summer rain is just like that, it comes and goes quickly."

Shen Ru said, but then she was shocked. Xiao Wujin seemed to be going to patrol the river. Could he be a drowned rat?
The rain came quickly and heavily, and Xiao Wujin and his party were indeed drenched to the core.

But the more serious problem is that with the melting of the snowy mountains and the erosion of the heavy rain, the water level in the upper reaches has increased. If it cannot be dredged in time, problems will arise.

"Sir, people from the villages upstream have been arranged to enter Liangzhou City, so there is no need to worry."

"If the situation is critical, evacuate everyone immediately." Xiao Wujin looked at the cumulus clouds above his head and said solemnly: "Observe at all times, and if necessary, protect the cottage."

Who would have thought that there would be floods in Liangzhou?There was a drought last year, will there be floods this year?
The officials following Xiao Wujin's inspection of the river were a little worried. If the fields were washed away, wouldn't the people have no harvest this year?
"Sir, I think it's better to stay in Baoliangtian and live in a cottage. After all, we have decided to move to the village, right?"

The one who spoke was the prefect Hou Wenzheng.

"Can you guarantee that when the flood breaks the embankments, all the villages will be evacuated?"

Xiao Wujin wiped the rain off his face and asked Hou Wenzheng.

"Can you guarantee that no civilians will be injured or killed?"

"The fields are gone. If we plant again next year, but the people are gone, what should we do?"

Fortunately, the rain came in time and left quickly. Although the sky cleared up after the rain, Xiao Wujin was a little worried. "Go upstream and have a look."

This rain was nothing to Shen Ru, but she felt a little worried when she thought about Xiao Wujin who might suffer from heavy rain.

"Let the kitchen make some ginger soup and I'll take it out." Shen Ru ordered.

Yaoyao went to the kitchen immediately, and Cuixi also brought food.

"Miss, it's already afternoon, but the food is still hot. You can finish the ginger soup."

"Yeah!" After Shen Ru rinsed her mouth, she didn't hesitate and started eating immediately. She was really hungry after getting up so late.

When Shen Ru took the ginger soup and rode his horse to the river, he didn't see Xiao Wujin.

After asking the officials, they found out that Xiao Wujin and his party had gone upriver.

Fortunately, when Shen Ru rushed over, everyone had already come down. Xiao Wujin was surprised to see Shen Ru.

"Master Xiao, Miss Shen is here, let's get out of the way first!"

The prefect took the lead in joking and tactfully waved the others away.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Wujin was both surprised and surprised.

"Why are your clothes dry?" Shen Ru looked at Xiao Wujin. If it weren't for the hair that was obviously still wet, Shen Ru would have doubted whether they had been exposed to rain.

"You've been walking a lot, so it's air-dried." Xiao Wujin replied, "Are you... afraid that I'll get caught in the rain?"

"When it rained, I was at home, and I couldn't even get you an umbrella in time, so I asked the kitchen to make ginger soup and came over quickly."

Shen Ru said: "The ginger soup has become cold on the way here, but you still drink it."

Xiao Wujin smiled slightly. The feeling of being cared about by someone had long since dispelled the wetness in his heart.

"Ah Ru, thank you."

Xiao Wujin said sincerely that he was surrounded by men and he had no relatives in Liangzhou. Even if he returned to the Governor's Mansion, no one would be as considerate as Shen Ru. He... became more and more attached to her existence!
"You must take care of yourself. You will easily catch a cold after being exposed to the rain, so I brought you ginger soup."

Shen Ru smiled and said, "Why did you go upstream? Are there any hidden dangers?"

"It's very hot right now, and melting ice water is flowing down from the snow-capped mountains. If heavy rains like this happen again, I'm afraid the rivers upstream will be washed away."

Xiao Wujin said: "The relocation of the villagers is imminent!"

"Are there any obstacles to moving to the village?"

Shen Ru led the horse and walked side by side with Xiao Wujin, watching Xiao Wujin drink the ginger soup and then hang the kettle on the horse.

"Some villagers cannot let go of their homesickness."

"Moving the graves first, as I said, moving the graves first before moving to the village. Once the ancestors are settled, the descendants will be able to discuss it immediately."

"We moved, but some people still refused."

"When it's time to be tough, be tough. It's impossible to satisfy everyone, but the overall situation is the top priority."

Shen Ru was not instructing Xiao Wujin to do things, she was just making up his mind for Xiao Wujin.
