Chapter 433 We are the strongest backing of Wood
Tietou on this side actually discovered that there was a second piece of letter paper.
"Wait, I haven't finished reading the letter yet. Uncle Mu has been engaged to the only daughter of the Minister of Industry. If nothing unexpected happens, she will go back to Guangyuan with Uncle Mu. Her name is Xu Qiao, and she is Aunt Hehua's student."
Jin stood up excitedly, "Minister of Works! Tietou, is he a high-ranking official?"
"Yes, second rank. Four ranks higher than Uncle Mu."
This time Wang Daming couldn't stand anymore. Oh my God, he could hardly breathe.
Wang Quangui quickly supported his father and said, "Brother, send mom and dad back. We will take care of the rest."
"No, no need. I'll do it."
Wang Daming rejected his son's kindness and insisted on staying in the meeting room.
"Dad, you guys take care of Mu Tou's affairs. We'll take care of Mu Tou's wife. I'll ask someone to go to my sister-in-law's room to discuss it later."
Jin's heart was burning with anger. She called out to the women in her clan and was about to leave.
"I want to go too, Boss. Carry me to your wife. My old bones can still be used."
Sun woke up suddenly and patted her son's shoulder, urging him to leave quickly.
Wang Fugui laughed, "I know, mother. With my mother in charge, everyone can rest assured."
Sun's face flushed with excitement. She turned to Jin and shouted, "Second wife, call all the women in our village to follow me."
Jin responded loudly, and the women in the room stood up with a smile and followed Sun.
After a while, only a group of men, young and old, were left in the meeting room.
Wang Quangui followed his father's instructions, moved a chair in front, and helped his father sit down.
"Our Mu Tou has worked hard and become a high-ranking official. This is not just a matter for our Wang family, but a happy event for the entire village. The letter says that Jinyang City is short of food and silver, and the people in Bianguan Village also need us to mobilize them."
Wang Daming looked at everyone and said, "Let's see how we can help."
"Uncle, my family and Erli's family will only have enough food for half a year, and Mutou will take the rest. We will also take all our bacon and salted fish. We can give 6,000 taels of silver. From now on, except for the food and seeds kept for our family, all our food will be donated and shipped to Jinyang City."
He stood up vigorously and was the first to set an example.
"It's the same for our family, uncle. We have food, bacon, salted fish, and five thousand taels of silver. Mu Tou is going to Jinyang City to find someone to farm the land. I grow the best sweet potatoes in our village. I will follow Mu Tou to Jinyang City, and you can rest assured that the land there will be left to me."
Li Da smiled innocently, "My father should stay at the tea stall to barbecue. He is not as good at farming as I am."
Li Si was not angry at all. He was indeed not as good at farming as his son.
"Zhong, I'm at home, you can go without worry."
"Me too, uncle. Our family donated the same amount as Dali and his family. I'm also good at farming, and Uncle Li alone doesn't have enough. I'll go farming with them too."
Goudan has become the pillar of the family and this time he spoke on behalf of the entire family.
"Uncle, we are also..."
Wang Daming nodded desperately, but he couldn't stop crying.
"Well, they are all good."
After enduring for a month, the people on the boat finally arrived at Changshui Wharf. This time, the shore was crowded with people.
Wang Fugui lit the firecrackers himself.
Mu Tou put on a full set of official uniform and led everyone ashore.
The people on the shore looked at the strange yet familiar wood with mixed feelings.
"Uncle, aunt, cousin, aunt, uncle...Mu Tou has lived up to everyone's expectations and is back."
Mu Tou looked at everyone and smiled. Wang Fugui and his clansmen were about to kowtow to Mu Tou. Mu Tou wanted to stop them but was stopped by Xu Wenyuan.
"Mu Tou, we are outside, just bear with it."
"I kowtow to Master Su."
The entire dock knelt down.
"Uncle and aunt, please get up. Everyone, please get up."
Wang Fugui was helped up by his nephew himself, and couldn't help but tear up.
"Lord Su has lost some weight, and the village has prepared a banquet. We will wait for you to return from the county government office, and then go home together."
Mu Tou nodded slightly and looked at his family members behind him.
"Everyone go ahead, we will come after you on horseback later."
"Okay, let's set off now."
They said they were going to set off, but no one left. Everyone automatically made way for Mu Tou and the other two to go first.
The three Mu Tou people walked slowly forward under the kind and loving gaze of their tribesmen.
Su He had sharp eyes and saw County Magistrate Ge coming from a distance.
"Master Su, Ge Zhongheng has led all the people in the county government to see you."
Mu Tou straightened his back and walked quickly to respond.
The two groups of people walked away in the direction of the county government office.
"Lotus, where is Mutou's wife? Didn't she come back with you?"
Zhou, along with a group of female relatives, was looking around.
"Here she comes, here she comes. She is shy and is hiding behind. Ah Qiao, come quickly."
Xu Qiao quickly put her clothes in order and walked over quickly with a red face.
"Aqiao greets all the elders."
Zhou held Xu Qiao and looked at her carefully.
"How come Ah Qiao is like a fairy in the sky? We Mu Tou are so blessed. I am your eldest aunt, this is your second aunt, and the one behind is your cousin's aunt. These are all Mu Tou's aunts. Child, you must be tired. I will take you to sit in the carriage and we will go home quickly."
Jin quickly took the seat on the other side of Xu Qiao. Both of them held Xu Qiao's hands and walked away, asking about her well-being.
Miaomiao also followed Su He at his signal. She wanted to ride in the same carriage with Xu Qiao. This was a task given by her brother and sister, so she dared not slack off.
Su He watched them walk away and joked with Wang Fugui.
"Uncle, I've been standing in front of you for such a long time, and you didn't even look at me. It shows that you are a snob."
Wang Fugui smiled innocently and quickly explained to his niece.
"No, I came to you first. Come on, sit with me, and we can have a good chat."
"Okay, I have a lot to say to my uncle."
Su He and Wang Fugui walked away, talking and laughing.
Mu Tou and the other two had already arrived at the county government office, and were personally led by Magistrate Ge to the reception room. This time, Mu Tou sat in the first seat.
County Magistrate Ge had already received the news from the emperor via carrier pigeon. He was a staunch royalist, so all of Mu Tou's requests went smoothly.
An hour later, Magistrate Ge and everyone else watched Mu Tou and the other two go away.
"Brother, I now completely believe what Lord Chen said. It was a waste of talent for He Hua to stay in our county government office before."
County Magistrate Ge nodded in agreement, feeling extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would not have let his daughter get married so early.
"By the way, doesn't He Hua have a younger sister? I wonder if she's been promised to someone?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the lawyer suddenly felt shy and said, "I'm just asking."
"Of course we know that. Do you still want to look like the sister of a fourth-rank official?"
County Magistrate Ge rolled his eyes at his junior fellow apprentice. He was simply taking his anger out on his own. His son had even gotten married, and he was so pissed off that he was dying.
Su He was chatting with her uncle when she heard the sound of horse hooves from behind. She looked back curiously. The familiar purple color made her happy.
"Sister, we have surpassed you. Brother is one step ahead."
"Be careful!"
Su He smiled as he watched the three men ride past him on horseback and move forward.
Everyone in the convoy returning to the city was laughing, and the people in Tianyuan Village were also laughing.
Su He was busy as usual that day, but fortunately, Lotus was not the protagonist this time.
Mu Tou is busier than her. In comparison, Su He is very satisfied.
