Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

Chapter 986 - 986: Long-term Solution

The two of them were very sure of it, but they did not show any emotion on their faces lest they expose themselves.

Shao Youyue was still confused. “Mother, who are you looking for? Previously,

I heard that you were looking for something from Xinyuan…”

Her daughter-in-law was going to give birth soon. No matter how cold her heart was towards her, if she knew that her husband might fall into a coma in mid-April and then pass away in mid-June, she would definitely be worried. Knowing all of this, she chose not to say anything about those two letters. Empress Dowager Yunzi said, “You don’t have to worry about these things.

Just take care of yourself and the baby. It’s better for you to be safe than sorry.”

Shao Youyue was just asking casually. She did not mean to force Empress

Dowager Yunzi to answer. Moreover, she knew herself very well and how the Empress Dowager was. She knew that even if she knew something, she would not be of much help. Naturally, she answered respectfully, “Yes, Mother. I will.’

After lunch, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to send Laicai and Xiuhua back to Zhu Village. The Empress Dowager Yunzi was going to return to the capital tomorrow, so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not have to stay in the next day any longer. They had to return to Locust Village, but they told her that they would meet again very soon. Shao Youyue did not stay at Quanping Inn for

It wasn’t until the two left that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue went to send the old couple home.

As Laicai and Xiuhua had completely lost their ability to work and had no one to rely on, they wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible. They had to rectify the administration of officials so that the relief grains and silver distributed by the national treasury every month could reach these people.

After Laicai and Xiuhua returned home, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also gave a year’s worth of food to the old couple, as well as some silver, in case they needed money for medicine.

Empress Dowager Yunzi would be returning to the capital tomorrow, and it was estimated that in less than three months, she would be able to sort out all the administrative matters regarding the charity work. She would first be able to provide enough food for a year for the old couple and so she told Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to give it to them.

If she gave too much and if it wasn’t stored properly, it would turn moldy and become inedible.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also gave the Zhu Village chief some silver and asked the Zhu Village chief to help repair the house where Laicai and Xiuhua lived. He also told the chief to add some things to the house to make it look more

lively.

Previously, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had already thought it through. Not only would they help out Laicai and Xiuhua, but they would also help the Zhu Village. This village was close to being the slumps. They told the Zhu Village chief to let the people of Zhu Village reclaim the land if they had the resources and time. Should they choose to do it, they could plant seeds or sell it to them for two silver per acre.

When the people of Zhu Village heard this, they were all extremely happy. Some people immediately took their farming tools and went to open up barren land. They also felt optimistic that they had a way to earn money now.

After leaving Zhu Village, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan returned to town.

They planned to stay in town for one more night. After sending off Empress Dowager Yunzi tomorrow, they would return to Locust Village.

However, when they passed by the Lucky Restaurant, they saw Shopkeeper Qiao shaking his head and sighing as he walked out of the restaurant.

Behind Shopkeeper Qiao were a few waiters from Lucky Restaurant. They were carrying many things, including wooden boxes and bundles, and placing them on a carriage at the door..
