After Li Xiaoruo listened to Xu Yunjin's words, his eyes full of dead silence seemed to have a glimmer of light.

"Is that really what Brother Deshou said?" She looked at the girl who had sent her beloved home in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, they were all there, and if you don't believe me, you can ask them."

Han Shaozhi beside Xu Yunjin was a witness, and he looked at Li Xiaoruo and nodded.

Li Xiaoruo saw that tears fell from her eyes, and Mrs. Ruan also hugged her distressedly and vented her emotions happily.

After a long time, the crying in the courtyard stopped, and Old Man Ruan personally helped Li Xiaoruo up.

"Child, your aunt and I have regarded you as our own daughter for a long time, and we are also very sorry that Deshou did not come back alive to marry you.

You are a good boy, so we don't want you to live in a cold grave for the rest of your life, and in the future, your aunt and I will be your godfather and godmother, and you can honor us for our longevity."

Old man Ruan regretted in his heart, but he was relieved that if there was a person who treated him sincerely in this life, it would be in vain to come to the world.

"Daddy, I see."

Li Xiaoruo has been persuaded, but he has not changed his name for the old couple.

She has already made a decision, it doesn't matter if she is nominally not Brother Shou's wife, her heart will not beat for anyone.

"Hey, you kid."

Old man Ruan and his wife knew that there was no way to persuade them at this point, as long as Li Xiaoruo was not a member of the Ruan family in name, it would be good not to delay her remarrying in the future.

Mrs. Ruan also returned to normal at this time, her son is no longer there, but the living still have to live well.

Seeing that Mrs. Ruan was no longer as lifeless as she was at the beginning, the villagers inside and outside the courtyard also stepped forward to discuss Ruan's funeral with the Ruan family.

The Long family also represented the Ruan family to invite Xu Yunjin and a few people into the house to sit, and as soon as they entered the house, they gave Xu Yunjin and a few people a big gift.

"A few distinguished guests came from afar, but the family couldn't entertain them well, I hope a few of them don't mind."

Long is a woman who looks very neat, although her eyes are red, but when she laughs, people can't help but get close, which is her unique temperament.

"Sister-in-law Ruan, don't be polite, we understand very well."

Xu Yunjin personally helped up the Long family, the Ruan family is so harmonious, Ruan Deshou's death must have dealt them a big blow.

"A few distinguished guests sit first, and I am afraid that the family will be a little busy for a while, and I am afraid that I will neglect a few distinguished guests."

The Long family was very enthusiastic and asked Xu Yunjin and a few people to sit in the room, but she refused.

Seeing that the Ruan family was busy now, Xu Yunjin proposed to Village Chief Jin that he wanted to go to the village for a walk.

"Ying Lin, you take the county lord and them to go shopping, and come back early."

So under the leadership of Jin Yinglin, Xu Yunjin and a few people walked to the mountain behind the village, and there was a large mulberry forest behind the mountain.

"Do all the mulberry trees in your village grow naturally?"

Xu Yunjin looked at the mulberry trees in this mountain, he was very surprised and satisfied, so many mulberry trees, if it is a large-scale silkworm raising, it must be enough.

The mulberries on the tree are already hanging on the branches, and they should be ripe in half a month, and the weather at that time is already very suitable for drying the mulberries.

"Of course, my grandfather said that when our ancestors first came to Mulberry Village, it was a mountain full of mulberry trees."

Jin Yinglin is very proud of the mulberry trees in the village, and the children in their village never have to go up the mountain to cut pigweed, and the poultry eat mulberry leaves on weekdays.

Xu Yunjin felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart when he heard this, he obviously had such good resources, but he could only guard the gold and silver mountains and eat the soil.

The poor places are too poor, the rich places are richer, and even the imperial court has invested more in those places with developed economies and more advantageous geographical locations.

So that in many cases, there are many places where there are obviously many resources that benefit the country and the people are ignored, and the development of the economy in various places according to local conditions may be a reason why there are too many poor people in Daqi, of course, this may also be because of those who are rich and powerful

There's too much technology in their hands.

She had a thought in her heart, but she couldn't make it into a shape, her mind was messed up, and she sighed for a long time, these are still left to professionals, it seems that it's time to write a letter to her own father.

She is responsible for proposing an idea, and how to make the rest of the deployment decisions is the business of those adults, she is still a child!

So Xu Yunjin put all his troubles in the back of his mind, walked around Mulberry Village, and found that Mulberry Village was indeed very small, and the last mulberry tree was the boundary of another village.

After visiting the mulberry village, a few people did not return along the way, but walked a closer road, and when they went back, they happened to meet a few boys picking mulberry leaves.

As soon as he saw a few children, Jin Yinglin ran forward very angrily, Xu Yunjin and the others didn't react, and several children quarreled.

"Hey, it's you from Baijia Village again, why did you come to steal the mulberry leaves from our village again."

Jin Yinglin stepped forward very angrily and wanted to snatch the back basket in the hands of a boy, but was pushed to the ground by several children on the other side.

One of the little boys said to Jin Yinglin with a look of arrogance:

"Cut, the county master has said, let your village be generous, and not all of them will be picked for you, my father and mother are right, your village is all stingy, and you deserve to be so poor that you let your children go to the battlefield to die."

Jin Yinglin was very angry when he heard this, his two small fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were red with anger.

wanted to rush forward and hit the foul-mouthed, smelly little boy, but was pressed to the ground by several other people.

Before the fist fell on him, Xu Yunjin and a few people arrived, and just heard the last words of the little boy, and several people were very angry.

"Stop." Xu Yunjin scolded loudly.

Maybe it was because they saw someone older than them coming, and those children felt that they couldn't beat them, so they stood up and were about to run with the basket on their backs, but they were stopped by Pei Ran and Yuan San.

"Who are you, and why are you beating?"

Xu Yunjin picked up Jin Yinglin, took a closer look, and made sure that he was not injured before looking at a few people with a serious face.

"I... We are from Baijia Village next to us, just to pick some mulberry leaves, they are too stingy, we are not allowed to pick it, and we went to the county master to complain.

The county magistrate has said that we haven't picked all of them, since they can't finish picking in the village, they should be generous and give us some things.

But they still forbade us to pick mulberry leaves, and every time they saw us, they would drive us away, so we beat him."

The child may have felt that he had the support of the county master, and he didn't have a look of fear until the last time, and even raised his head and glanced at Jin Yinglin with disdain.

"They are talking nonsense, the year before last, the village chief of Baijia Village built a big farm, and then every year they have to pick more than half of the mulberry leaves from our village, and they come to pick mulberry leaves, and the village chief's family will pay them.

Sometimes when we came to pick mulberry leaves, they would bully the children in the village, and once they even injured one of our younger brothers in the village.

That's why we went to the county magistrate to complain, but the county magistrate just asked them to pay the medical bills, saying that all the children from Baijia Village were children, and it was just a fight between children.

In the end, he said that our village is too stingy, and we should be friendly and neighborly, and we should not go to the government to make trouble about this matter, and we reprimanded my grandfather and them, but it is obviously something in our village."

Jin Yinglin cried when he said the end, he couldn't figure out why it would be stingy not to let others take his own things.

"You're just stingy, we're all kids, and we can't pick much."

The little boy still didn't realize his mistake, and he was pushed on the people of Mulberry Village with a nonchalant face.

Xu Yunjin's faces were already very ugly, it stands to reason that there is such a large mulberry forest in Mulberry Village, and it is okay for other villages to come and pick some and feed them home.

The people of Mulberry Village are not so stingy people, but this generation of people in Baijia Village is becoming more and more excessive, and they still regard the things of Mulberry Village as private ownership

things.

Xu Yunjin and the others didn't understand the original, but the people in Mulberry Village knew it very well.

Just because Bai Bi, the son of the village chief of Baijia Village, took the path of the He family, and is now the most eye-catching housekeeper in front of He Chong's daughter-in-law.

That is to say, Baijia Village occupies this power and bullies the people of Mulberry Village even more, and the county order is obviously not a good thing, favoring Baijia Village, which has caused Mulberry Village to suffer a lot of grievances.

"Do you know that it is not wrong for you to do this, and that if you don't ask yourself, it is called stealing."

These children were obviously instilled with the idea that they could freely ask for things in Mulberry Village, and the most disgusting thing was that they picked mulberry leaves in Mulberry Village for free and took the blame for ignorant children.

So although Xu Yunjin is very angry, she doesn't know where to send the fire to a few children.

She didn't want to let go of a few children like this, so she suppressed the anger in her heart and wanted to reason with a few children.

"We're not thieves."

The children, of course, knew that the thief was not a good person, so they retorted loudly.

"But what you're doing now is stealing, and I know your family made you do it, but it's not right.

If you want to make money by sending pigweed to the farm, you can go to the mountains to hunt by yourself, instead of coming here without permission to steal other people's things and bully people, which is not right."

One of the older children glanced at Xu Yunjin and the others, and felt that he couldn't beat or speak, his eyes rolled, and he nodded again and again and said:

"We know, we won't do it again in the future, thank you sister for teaching, then we'll go home."

Xu Yunjin naturally heard the insincerity in his words, but just smiled and let them go.

A few children ran away with the basket on their backs, and when they ran away, they stuck out their tongues at Xu Yunjin and the others.

"These stinky boys."

Han Shao couldn't get angry and wanted to catch up with them and teach them a lesson, but was stopped by Xu Yunjin.

"Let's go, since I can't educate them, let's find someone who can educate them."

After speaking, Xu Yunjin turned around and was about to go down the mountain, but Pei Ran and the others also understood what she meant, and hurriedly followed down the mountain and went directly to Jin's house.

At the door of Jin's house, Xiao Wu was guarding their carriage in place, and the courtyard of the Jin family was too small to fit so many horses.

Seeing that Xu Yunjin was leaving, Jin Yinglin was a little uneasy, he didn't know why he took people up the mountain and walked around, and when he came back, they were about to leave, he didn't know how to explain to his grandfather.
