Chapter 107 You are not my wife, you are my ancestor!
Wei Zhendong: "Yu'er, I regret it. Go ahead and hit my husband! I just can't stand seeing you joking around with other men. I'm just not confident... I'm worried that you'll fall for that sissy!"
Shen: "Why are you so unconfident? If I didn't like you, why would I bring Ruyi all the way here with you?
How could I follow you before marriage...
If you treat me like that again, I will take Ruyi back to Fulu Villa and live alone!"
"No! My husband knows he is wrong, he is just petty... he is useless... he is jealous, is that not enough?"
"Then what's going on? Why is there no food in your barracks?"
Wei Zhendong frowned and said, "Because on the sixth day of the New Year, I brought wine and meat to the military camp to reward the three armies. I wanted the soldiers to eat and drink together and have fun. I wanted them to have a happy New Year!
Unexpectedly, a few guys got drunk in the stable and set the stable on fire. It didn't matter if they just set the stable on fire, they also set the granary behind it on fire.
Last year, the national treasury was empty and there was not much grain to begin with, and the amount allocated to Wei’s army was not much. Now it’s all destroyed by a fire. I really have no other choice. The grain in our own farm can last for a few days, but it can’t hold out!
The soldiers were starving and could not bear it any longer, so they went to a nearby farm and forcibly bought some food. Although they wrote an IOU, it was equivalent to robbing the food from the farm!
Coincidentally, the manor belongs to the Pan family. How could the old dog of the Pan family let it go? He was originally arguing with our family because of the matter of Chen Shengda, so he filed a complaint with the emperor. His Majesty and His Highness had no choice but to deduct my salary for three months and asked me to pay three thousand taels to the old dog Pan! "
Shen: "If the grain was burned, we should report it to the court and find a solution. How can we let you find a solution on your own?"
Wei Zhendong frowned and said: "More than 100,000 kilograms of grain were burned. Those grains were allocated with great difficulty. They were the rations for our Wei family army!
Last year, the south suffered a disaster and food was needed everywhere, but there was not much food in the national treasury.
That old dog Pan said that the Ministry of Revenue had no money and no food, so they kept delaying. How could we delay the work of more than 20,000 people? Could we let them starve? If we only had one meal a day, everyone would be rebellious!
I have already taken away 17,000 to 18,000 taels of silver from the family. There is not much money left in the account now, and I don't want to make the lady worry.
My husband is thinking that if you have money, please give me some first, and I will go out to find a place to buy some food for emergency. "
Shen looked at the blisters on the corners of the man's mouth and said in a tearful voice, "You are angry with me and don't come home. You deserve to be angry!
What happened to the few people who set the food on fire?"
Wei Zhendong shrank his neck: "I beat them half to death, and checked their eight generations of ancestors. There is no suspicion that they deliberately sabotaged the Wei family army. They were just drunk and are still locked up..."
Shen didn't even look at the man: "I asked Chen Guangji to bring all the food that we didn't finish in Jun'an County..."
Wei Zhendong...
"What? You asked Chen Guangji to bring the food? Where did you bring it?
Damn, that sissy from Chen Guangji is still somewhat useful... No! It's the shopkeeper Chen... Hehe!"
Shen glared at the man and said, "If you get jealous again, I will not live with you anymore!"
Wei Zhendong stood up with a thud: "No! I, Wei Zhendong, am your husband bestowed upon you, how can you dump me?
No! Yu'er, let's not talk about this!
Yu'er, where did your family's food go?"
The woman turned her face away in displeasure and said, "Of course our grain cannot be brought into the capital, so it is naturally sent to Fulu Villa.
Ruyi said that food is always a hard currency in any era. Ruyi and I have already agreed that we must keep the things that can save our lives for ourselves!"
Wei Zhendong stood up and paced back and forth: "You are not my wife, you are my ancestor! Hehehehe...
Yu'er, please lend the grain to our Wei Army first. In the spring, I will take the brothers of the Wei Army to open up wasteland and plant crops for you. Is that okay?"
Shen felt a little soft-hearted when she saw the man. She thought about it and got off the ground. Her stomach was still a little heavy, and she bent her waist unconsciously, which scared Wei Zhendong: "Yu'er, what's wrong with you? Does your stomach still hurt? Let's ask the imperial physician to come to your house to check you out!"
Shen shook her head and said, "I'm much better now. Maybe my period is coming. I caught a cold on the 15th night and my stomach feels uncomfortable.
You take Ruyi and others to Fulu Villa. There is a warehouse underground behind the villa, and there is food in that warehouse.
I don’t know exactly how much food there is now, but it has been delivered.”
As Shen spoke, she went to get the silver bills. That stack of silver bills was for selling ginseng.
The woman took out the banknote and gave it to the man: "My husband, take this banknote and return it to the Pan family. It is wrong for our family to rob others. If there is any left, you can take it back."
Wei Zhendong looked at the thick stack of silver notes. He knew that it was five thousand taels. It was the money that the mother and daughter got from selling the five hundred year old ginseng!
The woman took it out and gave it to her without any hesitation. How could she not be moved!
The man excitedly hugged his wife tightly, and he was so moved that he almost burst into tears.
"Wei Zhendong will never let Yu'er down in this life. I will change in the future! I will definitely not be jealous anymore. That sissy looks a bit like Chen Shengda, but now I think he is also a capable man... Ouch! Yu'er's husband is wrong!"
The woman hit him twice in anger and said, "Hurry up! The soldiers in the barracks are all hungry. It won't be good if they stay hungry for too long!"
Wei Zhendong let go of his wife, gave her a smack and kissed her forehead, then picked her up and put her on the bed: "If you feel unwell, take a rest. You are not allowed to overwork yourself!
My husband is out doing some work!"
The woman looked at the tenderness in the man's eyes and blushed unconsciously. She nodded: "Take Ruyi with you. Be careful this time. Food is precious... Ugh!"
The man finally got out of the house, but if his wife hadn’t been unwell he would have turned into a wolf.
Wei Zhendong started shouting in the yard with a loud voice: "Wei Chuang, Wei Dazhuang, where have you two been?
Hurry up and prepare the carriage to go to Fulu Villa!"
The man strode towards his mother's yard. When he entered the yard, he saw his mother standing in the corridor, smiling at Shen Ruyi who was doing horse stance in the yard with her two brothers.
When Shen Ruyi did the horse stance, it was enough to make people laugh to death. The maids and servants in the yard all tried to hold back their laughter.
Shen Ruyi pouted her little face seriously, with her chubby little body there. She wasn't doing horse stance at all, she was clearly just making a fool of herself!
She stood behind her two brothers, imitating their horse stance. When she saw her father coming in, Shen Ruyi fell backwards without paying attention. She was wearing so many clothes that she was like a little meat ball, and she rolled to the ground!
Pfft...hahaha!
Everyone in the yard burst into laughter. Wei Zhendong quickly ran over and said, "Ruyi, Ruyi, what's wrong with you? Let daddy take a look. Hey, my little ancestor, why are you doing the horse stance? Look, you've fallen down..."
Shen Ruyi smiled and hugged her father's neck: "Daddy, have you come to play with Ruyi? Ruyi wants to practice Kung Fu, the kind of powerful Kung Fu that can defeat a large group of people by oneself!"
Wei Zhendong...
"Hahaha! Ruyi, your mother said that your family still has food in Fulu Villa, right?"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Hehehe, if others ask Ruyi, she will say no, but if daddy asks Ruyi, she will say yes!"
Wei Zhendong smacked his little girl's cheek. Shen Ruyi scratched her face because she was pricked. "Daddy is so bad. Why is he so prickly? He's going to prick Ruyi to death!"
Wei Zhendong...
No wonder his little wife wouldn’t let him kiss her!
Lady Wei: "Why are you holding the child? Let her play on the ground."
"Mother, I can't let Ruyi play with you today. I have to take Ruyi back to Fulu Villa to get some things."
Wei Wanshan came over and said, "Father, can you take Wanshan with you? I want to help look after my sister!"
Wei Wanchong also ran over and said, "Father, can you take Wanchong with you?"
Shen Ruyi: "Go ahead! Let's go play..."
