Chapter 23 Placement
It took another five or six days before Lu Zhan came back and brought back thirty-six women.
Huze County has lost more than 100 women in recent years due to the Ma family and Hu family, and only thirty-six people have returned in the end, which is really sad and emotional.
What is even more interesting is the placement of these women. Although these women are not voluntarily, they will still attract many people to say various things to a certain extent.
Therefore, most people choose to keep a distance from these people while sympathizing.
However, since these women returned to Huze County, they had to be properly placed, so County Magistrate Wang and Lu Zhan started to work hard.
Lu Zhan did not look for his sister when he went to Qizhou this time, but there was news about his sister. According to a woman, Lu Zhan's sister went to the capital with them at that time, but when she arrived in the capital, she was sent away. It seemed that the person liked him, but it was unclear who it was. The people in the Yu family were secretive about this and it seemed that it was not simple.
This made Lu Zhan not know whether it was happy or sad. What was happy was that his sister had not been ruined, but what was sad was that he didn't know whether he could still see his sister in this life.
Even Lu Zhan didn't dare to think about whether his sister was still alive now.
Regardless of the whereabouts of my sister, Lu Zhan did not delay what he should have done, and the placement of those women has really become a problem.
Generally speaking, people in this era pay more attention to reputation and have more stringent requirements for women's reputation.
No matter how pitiful these women are, they have no reputation to outsiders, which will affect the marriage of other women in the family. Therefore, only three families are willing to recognize their daughters. Some of the remaining families are unwilling to recognize their daughters, and some are their parents who want to recognize their daughters, but their brothers, sisters and others in the family are unwilling to accept them, or they are unwilling to do so.
Anyway, all kinds of human feelings have been staged in Huze County.
If you don’t want to, you can’t force it. This really made County Magistrate Wang not know what to do. Later, Lu Zhan said that these women all have some skills, and it would be good if the shops in Huze County were willing to accept them.
County Magistrate Wang knew that this was a helpless move, because the store was also very particular about doing business and was not necessarily willing to take in these women, even though these women might really have some skills.
Wang Zhou set an example and naturally asked for four to be placed on the farm where she was dowed, because Wang Zhou only had one grain shop, so it was really not suitable to put people in the shop.
Jiao Niang said to Zhou: "Mom, if we can gain a foothold in Huze County so quickly, we must help our uncle and aunt. At this time, we will naturally have to help."
Zhou agreed: "I think so too. I heard that many of those women have good embroidery work. I thought that our store was too small and couldn't eat, but two of them were OK, so I planned to ask two people to come. They were all miserable people. If we can do it, we will do it."
In Zhou's opinion, relatives have to interact with each other. Basically, Wang Zhou helped her more. Now that she has the opportunity to help, Zhou is not vague at all.
They did it as soon as they said, and the mother and daughter immediately went to the yamen to explain the situation. The people in the yamen also knew the relationship between Zhou and Wang Zhou, and gave face. They quickly brought the two women who looked at a little cowardly.
The two women stood in front of Zhou and Jiao Niang with their eyebrows down and their eyes were gloomy, and their behavior looked a little shivering.
Thinking of these people's experiences, Zhou sighed softly in his heart, and then said as kindly as possible: "Follow us, we can finally have a peaceful life."
The two knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou and Jiao Niang: "Thank you, Madam and Miss, for taking it in."
Both of them know that it is not easy to be taken in by others. They are grateful in their hearts, but they are still confused. They are all thinking, will there be a future for those like them?
Because she had experienced similar things, Jiao Niang knew very well what these people were thinking at this time, to put it bluntly, she felt insecure.
Jiao Niang said, "Fu Niang and Lu Niang from now on, don't worry about the past, but I hope that you will have both good fortune and wealth in the future and live a stable life."
The two of them suddenly looked up at Jiao Niang, and the tears involuntarily slid down. They were obviously crying silently, but they were heartbreaking.
Those present thought that these women could marry a good husband, but they might have both children and food and clothing, but in the end they were in such a situation, they were all sad.
For a moment, the scene became a little quiet.
Finally, Zhou said, "Forget it, it's meaningless to say the past. You two just follow us back."
Jiao Niang and Zhou went to say hello to Wang Zhou again and took the two of them back.
Jiao Niang is more careful in doing things and has already greeted the people at home. So when Fu Niang and Lu Niang came over, no one looked at these two people curiously, and they were all given a kind smile.
This made the two of them feel much more at ease. Fu Niang and Lu Niang both knew that their identities were not good and they were inferior, so they were also confused after being rescued. Even those with their identities were pointed at by others. However, the various experiences that made Fu Niang and Lu Niang surprised. It turned out that the situation was not as difficult as they thought at the beginning!
In fact, Jiao Niang knew that it would take a process to make everyone accept Fu Niang and Lu Niang, so now I just need to take it slowly. Since I want to provide these poor people with a place to settle down, it needs to be done properly.
Jiao Niang said to the two of them: "It's too late today. If you have anything to do, wait for tomorrow. Now you can clean up carefully. Ranshuang and take Fu Niang and Lu Niang to the room prepared for them."
Ranshuang really sympathized with these miserable women because of Madam Qin, so she had no dislike. She just smiled at the two of them and said, "The two sisters follow me. Our wife and the girl are the most merciful people, so the two sisters don't have to be restrained."
In fact, there are many people in Huze County who can understand things clearly. After the Ma family is gone, the magistrate of Huze County will be a legitimate boss. At this time, they naturally have to support the boss in doing things.
It was just to settle two or three women. This reputation was bad, so it was just a little far away from their family's family. There was no need to make it too ugly.
But now I support you, but County Magistrate Wang remembers that he will be in love in the future.
Thinking of this, several more families went to the yamen, and the girls were placed in one day.
No matter what happens in the future, these people will definitely be respected because of the magistrate of Wang County, and in the future, they will naturally stand up by themselves.

I really want to sigh, gossip can sometimes ruin a person's life!
If you can't control those gossip, just give yourself a strong heart.
After all, as long as I am not embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is someone else!
