Traveled through time and space to become a widow, and became rich with her three children

Chapter 112 Bleeding

Xu Huaishui said sadly: "Your Highness, the people don't even have these. At least they still have land to eat. Some have not eaten for several days. I can't help crying when I think of this."

As he spoke, he wiped his tears with his sleeves.

Jin Yuyao said, "County Magistrate Xu is truly a good official."

Xu Huaishui said, "I don't deserve it, I just want to live up to my conscience. What are your plans today, Your Highness?"

Mrs. Xu changed the subject and said, "Hurry up and eat. Let's talk about it after dinner, otherwise the food will get cold."

Xu Huaishui said: "Yes, look at you, I was just too anxious."

Several people started to eat. Jin Yuyao ate while observing the two children. Adults could disguise themselves as children, but they should not be able to disguise themselves as adults.

Xu Ying seemed to be eating normally, but Xu Cong's chopsticks kept poking at the porridge, making it seem a little difficult to swallow.

But I still drank it in small sips.

Jin Yuyao withdrew her gaze and ate the rice in the bowl in silence.

After dinner, King An suggested taking people to the nearby fields to take a look.

Jin Yuyao clearly felt a flash of murderous intent in Xu Huaishui's eyes, but it was only for a moment that Jin Yuyao saw it because she was always paying attention to him.

Xu Huaishui said, "It's been very hot these past two days, and the fields are even hotter. Why don't we wait until it's a little cooler before going?"

Prince An insisted: "Let's go today."

Xu Huaishui said: "Then I will find some people to come, otherwise it will be bad if those unruly people offend the prince."

When everyone was gathered, Xu Huaishui looked at Wang Jingshan and said, "Your Highness, he looks very ferocious. Why don't you just not let him go?"

Prince An said, "We must go to Jingshan. Lord Xu can go there if he has something to do. We can go there on our own."

After saying that, he walked out first, followed by Wang Jingshan and Jin Yuyao.

Xu Huaishui then explained: "I'm fine. The prince's matter is the more important thing."

Jin Yuyao clearly wanted to get Wang Jingshan out of the way, so that dealing with Prince An would be a piece of cake.

The city gate was opened today, and Xu Huaishui brought Prince An and his party to the fields near the county town.

This was the first time that Jin Yuyao had seen such a scene. It was almost harvest season, but now the fields were bare and there was nothing on them. The crops were gone and the locusts had flown away.

Continue looking for food.

Prince An looked at the scene and asked, "Lady Jin, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

Jin Yuyao said: "Let's find a lot of ducks and chickens and bring them here first. Ducks and chickens are the natural enemies of locusts. This way we can kill some of them and the chickens will have something to eat."

Xu Huaishui retorted, "How can that be possible? Where can we find so many ducks and chickens in such a short time? Besides, they might not even be useful."

Prince An looked at Xu Huaishui and said, "You are the official here, so I leave this matter to you. I believe that a good official like you will handle this matter well."

Xu Huaishui said, "Your Highness, I really have no other options."

But Prince An pretended not to hear.

Xu Huaishui had a dark face and shouldn't have come with me today.

Prince An continued, "How much grain does County Magistrate Xu have in his granary now?"

Xu Huaishui raised his head and said, "There is no food left."

Prince An frowned and said, "How can you be a father-in-law? There is no food. How can you take us to see it?"

Although Xu Huaishui was extremely reluctant, he had to lead a group of people to the granary.

When we arrived at the county government office and opened the granary, we saw that it was indeed empty. There was really nothing in it.

Prince An turned around and looked at Xu Huaishui and said, "Why didn't you report that you had nothing? You couldn't solve the problem yourself and you didn't report it. You don't even have food. What do you want to do?"

Xu Huaishui stammered and couldn't say anything.

What can we do if we don’t have food? Food is our top priority.

Back at the county government office, Prince An sat in the main seat and looked at Xu Huaishui: "I don't care what you come up with. Hurry up and get me some food. Why are you just standing there? Go quickly."

Seeing Xu Huaishui still standing there without moving, Prince An threw the item on the table away.

It hit Xu Huaishui's head and blood started flowing instantly.

Xu Huaishui had no choice but to bow and go down.

After Xu Huaishui left, he no longer had the humble and cold look in his eyes.

The lawyer next to him took out a handkerchief and said, "Master, are you okay?"

Xu Huaishui glanced back gloomily and said, "Keep an eye on it here and report to me if anything happens."

The master nodded.

Xu Huaishui covered his head and walked away.

Wang Jingshan asked, "Your Majesty, can you tell me how Xu Huaishui found the food?"

Prince An laughed and said, "Although she appears to be very good at it, there is no way there is no grain in the granary. He has embezzled a lot over the years, and we can only make him spit out some of it.

I must report this to my father and have him send relief grain and silver as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be no peace in Zhongshan County."

After hearing what Prince An said, the three of them felt heavy-hearted.

Jin Yuyao said, "I'm going out for a walk."

Wang Jingshan said, "I'll go with you."

Jin Yuyao refused and said, "No, you should stay here and protect Prince An."

After Jin Yuyao arrived on the street, she took a bag, filled it with some locusts, and went to the largest restaurant in Zhongshan County.

The waiter saw someone finally coming and approached enthusiastically, "Miss, are you here to eat?"

Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "I'm not here to eat. I want to meet your boss."

The waiter's face immediately drooped. Finally someone came, but who knew he wasn't here to eat.

The waiter said, "Then wait a moment."

Jin Yuyao was waiting there, but the waiter didn't come out for a long time.

When the waiter finally came back, he said, "I'm sorry, our boss is away today because of something."

Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "Well, then we are not destined to be together."

After saying that, Jin Yuyao stood up and left.

The waiter stood at the door and watched Jin Yuyao enter the restaurant diagonally opposite.

Jin Yuyao entered a restaurant called Zuixianlou. She remembered that there seemed to be one in Qingyun Town, but she didn't know if they were the same restaurant.

The waiter saw Jin Yuyao come in and said warmly, "How many guests are there? There aren't many people here, so please take a seat."

Jin Yuyao asked the waiter, "Is the shopkeeper here? I want to talk to him about something."

The waiter said, "Please wait a moment."

After saying that, the waiter went into the backyard.

Not long after, a fat white man came out behind the waiter.

The waiter introduced Jin Yuyao, "This is our shopkeeper Qin. If you have anything to say, just talk to him."

After saying this, he went to entertain the guests.

Shopkeeper Qin looked at Jin Yuyao and said, "I don't think I know you. What do you want from me?"

Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "It's a good thing that can make you rich. I have a dish here, would you like to try it, Shopkeeper Qin?"

Shopkeeper Qin asked, "What dish?"

Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "Where is your kitchen? I'll make it for you right away."
