Chapter 383 Going Home
"Wanwan?!"

"It looks like we're back just in time for lunch."

Yunmengyi and the others spoke at the same time. Shen Xiangwan glanced at the little cub who was washing his hands, and an alluring curve appeared on his lips.

"Auntie!"

After a short silence, the little cub called out and ran towards her without thinking. During this time, tears came out of his eyes unconsciously. Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan quickly squatted down and caught him: "Slow down, slow down, be careful not to fall."

"Aunt..."

Rushing into her arms, the little cub choked and cried, she was finally back, he had been waiting for her for a long, long time.

"Okay, am I back now?"

Seeing him crying like a little kitten, Shen Xiangwan felt so distressed. She pushed him away slightly and took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.

"Aunt, are you still leaving?"

Looking at him through tearful eyes, the little cub asked with sobs, looking so pitiful.

"I won't be leaving for a while."

Rubbing his head lovingly, Shen Xiangwan stood up and took him towards Wu Lixiu, taking the towel from her hand to wipe his face and hands: "Have you been obedient during the few days I was away?"

"Have."

The little cub responded obediently, and then added: "I have been waiting for my aunt and second uncle to come back home, and I have also helped my grandmother and master's grandmother take care of my younger brother."

"So good!"

Shen Xiangwan kissed him and led him to the main hall: "I have prepared a gift for you. I will give it to you after dinner. I promise you will like it."

"it is good."

Nodding, the little cub's face broke into a smile. As long as she came back, he was very happy. He didn't care so much about the gifts.

"You are finally back."

Before they came back, Zhao Yuping had been looking forward to it, but now that they were back, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Who made them leave without saying goodbye and be gone for more than ten days?

"I'll come back naturally when I'm done."

Pei Ji smiled slightly, then sat down with the child, not taking her emotions to heart at all.

"You."

Zhao Yuping could do nothing about her, so she could only sigh deeply: "Lizhang Yang and the village chief have come to see you several times. What are you going to do about the school? Are you really going to keep it closed?"

"Ma'am? You're back?"

Before Shen Xiangwan could respond, Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying both came quickly. When they left that day, they did not follow them. Even though they knew that nothing would happen with the Second Master around, they were still worried.

"Ah."

Looking at them separately, Shen Xiangwan nodded with a smile: "We can talk later if you have anything to say. Let's eat first."

"it is good."

After making sure she was safe, the two of them didn't bother to argue, and turned around and walked away. Looking at their backs, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh and shook his head. "Don't stand there, sit down quickly."

Seeing this, Yun Mengyi said at the right time.

"Ah."

The couple looked at each other and nodded at the same time. The Wei family's meals have always been quite rich, so even if they didn't expect them to come back, there was no problem of not having enough food. After the servants left, they started to eat one after another. Maybe it was because they came back, but the little cub had a particularly good appetite and ate two full bowls of rice.

"Second Master, Madam, you are really back."

After dinner, Yuan Xiu walked in from outside with a smile. He was not at home before and had just returned from outside.

"Come in and sit down."

Pointing to the seat opposite, Shen Xiangwan took the tea handed to her by Wei Chengyi.

"I heard you went to the capital first?"

Sitting down in the main hall, Yuan Xiu asked first. He was naturally aware of the refugee problem in Chenzhou.

"On my way back, I saw a lot of refugees pouring into Chenzhou, so I went to the government office."

Facing the puzzled gazes of Zhao Yuping and others, Wei Chengyi gave a simple explanation.

"Ugh!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Xiu felt a headache. During this period, the government office sent many refugees to Datong County. Although he had assisted Fu Qiuhua in settling the refugees in various villages, there were too many people they settled, and each village had some opinions. If it weren't for the good reputation of the county government and Fu Qiuhua being a good official who sympathized with the people, they would have made trouble. Datong County was like this, and other counties might be even more difficult. In any case, they had to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

"Let's go to the study."

Wei Chengyi stood up first. He had been away for more than ten days and had too many things to do.

"Ah."

Yuan Xiu did not object. He nodded to Shen Xiangwan and the others before leaving the main room. Watching their figures disappear from his sight, Shen Xiangwan's eyes flashed. It seemed that the refugee issue was really tricky.

“Are there a lot of refugees outside?”

They had never gone out. The situation in Yong'an Village was special and no refugees were settled there. Therefore, they had no idea about the situation outside. However, they could still hear a thing or two from their conversation.

"All I can say is it's unimaginably much."

Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but rub her brows with a headache. If she hadn't known the situation clearly, she would have thought that Chenzhou was a severely affected area when she first entered Chenzhou. From this, it was not difficult to see how huge the number of refugees pouring into Chenzhou was.

"···"

Yun Mengyi, who was asking the question, could not help but look at each other with her old man. Zhao Yuping next to her also looked a little confused. They already knew that the whole Chenzhou was in their hands. So many refugees poured in, which meant that it was all their responsibility. Where could they get so much food to feed those people?
Wei Chengyi and Yuan Xiu went to the study to handle government affairs. Shen Xiangwan had nothing to do so she chatted with Zhao Yuping and others in the main hall. Chen, who had come to their house crying that day, could not stand the interrogation of the government office and honestly explained her motives for maliciously slandering the Wei family. It was all because of jealousy. In addition, the Wei family was always easy to talk to, so she took it for granted that no matter what she said or did, the Wei family would not care about her. The government office punished her with thirty strokes of the cane, and when sending someone to send her back to her parents' home, they reprimanded the Chen family, making the entire Chen family lose face. Not kicking her out was already a way of protecting her. Her life in her parents' home would definitely not be easy in the future, and she should not have the energy to do anything weird.

After news of Chen's affair spread back to the village, some people who had the same idea as her and were ready to make some moves all stopped. The Wei family was kind and easy to talk to, but they were not to be bullied. Anyone who dared to challenge their bottom line would suffer the same fate as Chen.

"In addition to Lichang Yang and the village chief, many people in the village have been trying to find us about the school. If they knew you were back, they would definitely come right away."

Speaking of Chen, the matter of the school is inevitably involved. Zhao Yuping couldn't help but sigh deeply. What happened that day really made them upset, but seeing that everyone was trying every means to find out their thoughts in order to let the children go to school, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. After being in contact with the villagers for so long, she was more or less clear that people like Chen were only a minority, and most people were simple and kind.
