Chapter 343: A Blind Cat Meets a Dead Mouse

"I'll go and see if the food has been prepared in the kitchen." I couldn't stand it anymore, Jiang Qingshan found an excuse to go out.

Gu Yu: "I'll take my two children back for dinner."

"I'll go and see how your foundation is dug." The village chief walked out of the living room with his hands behind his back.

After all the three of them left, Wei Rongcai said to Wang Yiran mysteriously, "Xiao Ran, wait for me here, I'll come here soon after I go back."

He strode towards his old house, entered the room and took out another wooden box, hugged it in front of Wang Yiran again, and Wei Rong handed the box to her.

Wang Yiran took the box, looked at him with a light smile and said, "What is this?"

"Do you open it and take a look?" Wei Rong spared a bend and did not tell her directly.

"Tsk...the mysterious." Wang Yiran opened it without caring much.

As soon as the box was opened, she immediately closed the box again, staring at Wei Rong with wide eyes, unable to speak.

"There are 50,000 taels of silver notes in it. It is my pocket money for you. Please put it away quickly." Wei Rong was amused by her expression and reached out to help her pull a wisp of black hair behind her ears.

"You don't have to give me the money. I have the money given by Xiaoyu and Shanshan. Besides, I can't spend so much money at home?"

Jiang Qingshan and the others exchanged her embroidery for silver notes in recent years, and also gave her the silver notes she had left in the Duke's Mansion before. But she didn't know that, and she thought that the price of her embroidery was very good. She now had about 20,000 taels of silver, so she didn't lack silver.

"What they gave you was what they gave you, and the meaning of I gave you is different. Please put it away quickly and don't let others see it." Wei Rong urged her.

Wang Yiran sighed softly and said, "Before we both got married, wouldn't it be too early to keep the money for me?"

"It's not too early, and the money is not kept for you, it is for you to spend it. You can spend it, and ask me for it after spending it." Wei Rong held her hand and said with a doting smile.

Her hand was suddenly pulled, which scared her and immediately broke her hand away from the man's hand, looking out the door, fearing that someone would see their actions.

Wei Rong didn't dare to exert too much force. When he felt her resistance, he let go of her hand. She was so delicate and tender that she was afraid of hurting her hand.

"Then... I'll put away the silver notes." Wang Yiran picked up the two boxes and quickly entered the room. After arriving at the room, she looked outside. Fortunately, Brother Wei didn't look inside. She took the box containing the silver notes into the storage bag, and placed the jewelry box in the drawer of the dressing table, and then locked it up.

After doing everything, she sat in front of the dressing table to sort out her face. She left the room after her face was not so red.

Wei Rong was standing under the eaves at this moment to relax his mood. He was very nervous just now, okay, this time he really took the initiative to hold Xiao Ran's hand.

"Brother Wei, why are you coming out?" Wang Yiran came out of the room without seeing anyone, so she walked out to take a look.

"Come out for some breath, have you put away all your things?" Wei Rong asked with a smile.

"alright."

Jiang Qingshan stretched out her head from the kitchen door and saw that the two of them had come out and stood under the eaves. She turned around and said to Huang Yueying, who was serving the last soup, "I'll call everyone back for dinner."

"Oh well."

Jiang Qingshan walked out of the kitchen and looked at the two of them again before leaving the yard to call someone.

At the lunch table, everyone and the host and the host were having fun.

...

The next morning, Gu Yu and Jiang Qingshan came to Yuncheng in a hover car. Gu Yu went to the Fucheng to find Han Geyu. Jiang Qingshan was originally going to the cloth shop, but finally turned to Tang Caixin's embroidery shop.

"Oh... This sister looks so familiar. Have we seen her somewhere?" Tang Caixin sent a guest out of the door, and happened to see Jiang Qingshan at her door, so she started to joke with her.

"I look familiar. I used to come to you to take care of your business, but Sister Tang forgets too much, and it is normal for me not to remember me." Jiang Qingshan continued to follow her words.

"Is that so? No wonder why I felt kind when I saw you, my sister. It turned out to be a regular visitor. Come in and sit down quickly."

Jiang Qingshan followed Tang Caixin to the hospitality room on the second floor.

Tang Caixin got a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Qingshan, and said angrily, "You little girl, where have you been in the past few years?"

Jiang Qingshan took a sip of tea before laughing and said, "Just give birth to a child at home and take care of the child."

"It took you two or three years to have a baby? How many babies have you had, it takes so long?" She didn't look like she was comfortable staying at home.

"How can I do it? I gave birth to twin sons. Didn't I encounter drought after? I stayed at home and didn't come out. Sister Tang's business is still booming as usual." When she came in just now, she saw many customers.

"Oh... I just make a living. Oh, when it comes to drought, my embroidery shop has been closed for two years."

When Tang Caixin said this, she couldn't help but think of those difficult days, "I want to thank you for reminding me to store food."

Jiang Qingshan mentioned many things she encountered on the road more than once in front of Tang Caixin, including where the crop harvests dropped significantly, which river water level was falling, and I don’t know if it would be drought.

Although Tang Caixin didn't care much at that time, she still kept her words in mind. Later, the weather became more and more stuffy and it had not rained for several months. She became anxious and quickly saved a batch of grain at home. When she bought the grain, the price of grain had doubled compared to before.

Although she made preparations, she still reacted too slowly. When she wanted to buy another batch of grain, all the grain shops in the city had been taken over by the government, and the grain prices had doubled. However, she still wanted to buy another 10,000 kilograms.

The climate became more and more serious. The city seemed to be nothing but the vendors selling food. That was because the prefect sent a large number of officers and soldiers to keep the city gate firmly and prevent refugees from coming in. Her business in the embroidery shop could not continue, but she had to take care of her family's servants and subordinates in the embroidery shop. No matter how much she saved, the food in the family would be less and less, so she could only buy high-priced food from the government.

Fortunately, such a life didn't take long. The corrupt official and his men were arrested by the new magistrate sent by the court, and the city gradually returned to peace. Although the drought situation did not improve, at least they are no longer buying high-priced food.

She also received gratitude and loyalty from her servants because she did not abandon her servants when she was in a difficult time.

"Hey... I felt something was wrong around me, so I became confused. I just met a dead mouse and fooled me. How could I know that such a thing would really happen?" Jiang Qingshan said as if she was lucky.
