Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 123 Return

"Everyone, my girl said that from today onwards, each household will be given a bowl of millet. As long as my girl eats in one bite, the clan's rations will not be lost."

"Really?"

"Is this true?"

Pingyu nodded with a slight smile.Surprised screams erupted from the crowd, "Ah Ruo really has a heart like a bodhisattva!" "Ah Ruo is really a sensible sister-in-law..." "Only a kind-hearted sister-in-law like A Ruo would make Wang Jiulang like this!" Pampering..." For a moment, praises and thanks were heard endlessly.

Pingruo smiled and distributed a bowl of millet to each family member.

"Girl, people outside are saying that you have a kind heart." Hearing other people's compliments always makes him feel happy, and Liu Xu crossed Zheng Ruo's hair and said happily.

Zheng Ruo nodded with a normal face.If she hadn't gone to the owner's courtyard to make a fuss last night, would they still be saying those words of praise to themselves like they are now?If Wang Jiulang hadn't come last night, would they still be afraid today?
Won't!They will tear their skins off, and today they will rob their own food and water like wolves and tigers like those people yesterday. Give them that bowl of water.The more you are in crisis, the more you can see a person's quality.

"Okay, girl, do you think this is okay?" Liu Xu put down the comb and said to her with a smile.

Zheng Ruo looked at the blurry figure inside the bronze mirror, and nodded slightly.

"Girl, who do you think shaved the owner's eyebrows last night?"

Zheng Ruo paused slightly when she was going to get the letter on the case table, but she also remembered the whistle on the roof last night, and her beautiful eyebrows twitched slightly, could it be the same person who shaved her hair?

Who is this person?
Friend or foe?

"Girl?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Xu gently shook her shoulder.

When she came back to her senses, Zheng Ruo smiled lightly and said, "I don't know either."

"The last time the girl came back from the Sheriff's Mansion, Mrs. Liu's eyebrows and hair were shaved. This time, after the girl's food was robbed by them, all the people in the main courtyard had their eyebrows and hair shaved..." Liu Xuxu muttered.

Zheng Ruo raised her eyebrows and looked at the maid beside her, "What do you want to say?"

Liu Xu winked playfully at her, "Girl, I think it's really Wang Jiulang..."

Zheng Ruo's eyebrows jumped.

"Girl, Wang Jiulang is really good to you."

Zheng Ruo didn't answer, turned around and walked to the piano case.

Liu Xu sighed lightly.How could she not see the change in the girl's attitude towards Wang Jiulang.I don't know what happened to the girl recently. I used to keep saying that I liked Wang Jiulang, but now I don't even have a good face when I see Wang Jiulang.

"Girl, if you treat Wang Jiulang so coldly, he will get bored in the future, what can you do?"

Zheng Ruo laughed suddenly when he heard this, but didn't reply.Liu Xu wanted to persuade her again, but saw her dark eyes were as silent as a dry well, as if the laugh just now was not from her at all.For some reason, her heart suddenly felt sour, and she couldn't speak anymore.

"Girl, slave to help Pingwo."

"En." Zheng Ruo nodded, and the sound of the piano under his hand flowed out slowly.

In the evening, when Zheng Yuanyi and the others came back, they heard about the robbery of food in the main courtyard. Both father and son were very angry.I heard that if Zheng Ruo had food in the future, he would share a bowl of millet with the clansmen, and both of them were silent for a while.I don't know when this drought will end. At this time, the distribution of food is tantamount to pushing one's life to death bit by bit.

Shi Yue said hesitantly, "Ah Ruo, you distributed food to the tribe, what should we do in the future?"

Zheng Ruo glanced at him lightly.Shi Yue shrank his neck, wondering if it was his illusion, he always felt that Zheng Ruo looked at him with disdain and contempt.She smiled to herself as she looked again.Suddenly, he saw a large area of ​​blooming flowers on the grassland.His eyes were a little straight, and he wanted to smile back at her, but the next moment, he saw that she had turned her head away.

Zheng Yuanyi thought for a while, and said: "Ah Ruo's doing this is righteous. It should be so. Besides, if we don't distribute some to the clansmen, I'm afraid they will come to grab food like Zheng Yuanshun. At that time, our lives will not be guaranteed. We can keep it. It’s better to do it first, so that they accept our favor. In the future, if we save a little, we may be able to survive. Besides, I have discussed with some nobles in the city in the past few days After that, if it doesn't rain again, I will start thinking about moving to the south."

Zheng Jinxiao walked over and patted Zheng Ruo's little head, and said with a smile, "Ah Ruo has grown up!"

"Father, that's what I thought. Don't worry, dad, there will be no shortage of food." Zheng Ruo avoided Zheng Jinxiao's claws and said with a smile.

Zheng Yuanyi's face darkened at this moment, "Ah Ruo, we have to know what is good or bad. Wang Jiulang has already given us so much millet, how can we let him spend money again and again? A Ruo, you should know that with a background like Jiulang, It's not something we can climb..."

Zheng Ruo opened his mouth and found that he couldn't say anything to refute.After all, it was she who released the food herself and it was Wang Jiulang who sent the news.

Shi Yue lowered his head to hide the joy in his eyes.If Zheng Ruo didn't miss the flash of joy on his face, it was good for him to be scolded, and he gloated from the sidelines.After thinking about it, could it be that Father has already told him about his plan to marry him?
Thinking about it this way, his gaze at Shi Yue became a little sharper.Seeing that Zheng Ruo lowered her head and said nothing, Zheng Jinxiao said that she felt a little uncomfortable, and that she could guess a little bit about her thoughts.It's just that there are outsiders present, so he can't say much, "Ah Ruo..."

Zheng Ruo raised his head, interrupted him, and said, "Ah Ruo understands, Father."

Seeing his daughter nodding obediently, Zheng Yuanyi was still worried, and finally said: "After a busy day, you are also tired, go back and rest."

"Here." Zheng Ruoying went up the small building.

There is a moat more than ten feet wide outside Phoenix City, and there is a three-storey restaurant inside the city. Sitting on the top floor, you can see the charming style of the moat.It was a disaster year, and the restaurant business was not good.Several clerks have resigned, and now there is only the shopkeeper sitting behind the high counter, sighing.He was thinking about whether to close the restaurant and go to the south with those fleeing famine.
