The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Li Fengqi did not dare to give Liu Changmin a hard time. He still bowed respectfully to Liu Changmin. “I’ll follow Father-in-law’s instructions. I’ll take my leave.” With that, he turned around and walked out. Seeing this, Laidi hurriedly chased after him.

Laidi got into the carriage and looked at the livid Li Fengqi uneasily. “Fengqi, don’t be angry. I’ll ask her when she’s done being angry.”

Li Fengqi glanced at Laidi. “Forget it! Didn’t you say that your cousin likes you very much?! Go back and write a letter to her to ask her about the address of the Tongzhou Guild Hall in the capital. We can also receive a reply when we go to the capital. When we reach the capital, your cousin’s letter will have arrived.”

“Then what will you tell Grandmother about Ye Feng’er? Will Grandmother agree?” Laidi couldn’t forget about Ye Feng’er.

In the end, she was a narrow-minded person. Otherwise, how could she leave

Feng’er at home to serve his grandmother? Li Fengqi smiled faintly and said, “I’ll naturally do what I promised you. When I go back, I’ll tell Grandmother to leave her at home to serve her.”

Laidi smiled sweetly and leaned on Li Fengqi’s shoulder. “Fengqi, you’re so good. I’ll write to my cousin when we get back.”

Li Yu, who was being thought about by Laidi and her husband, brought Madam He and the families of some officials who had not escaped to the tent for the injured soldiers to visit them.

Madam He saw a teenage soldier with a leg cut off by the Qi army who rushed up the city wall. Madam He asked with heartache, “Child, where are you from? Why are you a soldier at such a young age?”

The soldier glanced at Madam He with a red face. “Madam, my family is from Guangtong County. I’m not young anymore. I’m already 17 years old. The elder brothers in the family all have children. I don’t want my nephews to be born without a father.’

“Little brother, when are you going back? I can help you find a convoy and bring you back to Guangtong County.” Li Yu looked at him and asked.

When the soldier heard that Li Yu could bring him back, his eyes lit up. Then, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. “I don’t plan to go back like this. Madam, can you help me bring the compensation money to my parents? They’re old and sick. With two silver coins in their pockets, they can live a relaxed life for two years.”

When Madam He heard this, she wiped her tears and said, “What a filial young man. He’s already like this, yet he’s still thinking about his parents. How sad would his parents be if they found out?”

When the injured soldiers in the tent heard this, they lowered their heads sadly. One of the injured soldiers with a broken arm sighed and said, “I still have a wife and child at home. If I don’t go back, I’m afraid the child won’t have a good life without a father. Let’s go back! It’s not convenient to work with only one hand. I’m afraid I’ll drag them down. Sigh! I might as well die without worrying. At the very least, I can get more pension money.”

When a crippled veteran heard this, he sneered indignantly. “Do you think you can get all the pension money given to you by the Imperial Court? Those who can give you 80 to 90% of the pension money can be considered officials with a conscience. Damn it, not even half of it was received by the families of those dead soldiers. There are many people who eat human blood buns!”

A general who looked like a centurion looked at Li Yu and the others and scolded awkwardly, “Cripple Xu, what nonsense are you talking about again? Hurry up and get to work.”

“I’m not spouting nonsense. I can find out anything by asking around,” Cripple Xu muttered and walked out.

Li Yu knew that they were deliberately saying this to the wives of the officials. However, looking at the warriors with missing arms and legs, she thought to herself, Why should they bleed and cry? The officials even wanted to use them to make a windfall when they were dead. Were such officials still human?

Li Yu asked Old Madam Liu to distribute the food to them and left the tent with Madam He and the others. After bidding farewell, everyone got into the carriage and went back.

Li Yu leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes in thought. What should she do for them? Li Yu thought of the bushes under the wasteland in West City. She wondered how wide and long it was. Thinking of this, Li Yu said to Old

“Yes, Madam.” Old Madam Liu told Ah Wei what Li Yu had said. Ah Wei smiled and asked Old Madam Liu, “I wonder if Brother Ruyi and Brother Ji Xiang have finished giving out those grains?”

Old Madam Liu smiled and said, “It should be soon! I saw that the city wall was filled with people working. I heard from those old people that this is the first time they haven’t been hungry after living for so many years.”

“I thought it would take a few more days!” Ah Wei smiled.

In the warehouse of the government office, Ruyi looked at the food in the warehouse and felt that it was strange. These food exchange workers had already claimed so much. Why wasn’t it all distributed yet? He pulled Ji Xiang and pointed at the sacks with a mysterious expression. “Ji Xiang, I’m afraid there are five gods living in this warehouse. Do you remember that we didn’t move much food back that night? Why hasn’t it been distributed after two to three days?”

Ji Xiang looked at the food. “Yes! It’s a little strange. The old man often said that there’s no need to worry about food and clothes at home.” Ji Xiang clasped his hands and bowed. “I hope the Five Gods can raise enough food for those victims before leaving.”

Ruyi smiled and patted him. “Don’t be greedy. It’s already not bad to have such food. Look, there are also people repairing the city wall. When spring comes, those refugees will return to their hometowns. The pitiful ones are the disabled soldiers. Some of them might as well not go back. Master is worried sick about making arrangements for these injured soldiers.”

Ji Xiang was not worried at all. “Don’t worry. Madam and Madam He went to see those injured soldiers today. When Madam comes back, she will help Master think of a way.”

Li Yu stood at the door of the warehouse and laughed in her heart when she heard Ji Xiang’s words. “Ji Xiang, why don’t you invite your immortal to blow a breath of immortal energy to help you treat the injured soldiers?”

“Hehe! I was just saying. Madam, what are you doing in the barn?” Ji Xiang asked with a smile.

“I wanted to ask if the bushes at the other end of our wasteland are big. Have they been drowned by the rain?

Ruyi thought for a moment. “Madam, the last time it rained, it was almost half flooded. Do you want to buy it and reclaim it?”

Li Yu hesitated for a moment and shook her head. “I haven’t thought about it.

Have Auntie Xue and the others finished moving? Have you pulled the food away for them?”

“Madam, I know.” Ah Wei jumped in from behind. “Yesterday morning, we brought the food back to the farmstead. There were also those chickens and ducks. Uncle Cai and the others said that they would set up the greenhouse when they returned and plant some vegetables to send to the city to save on buying vegetables. If there’s extra, they can sell some. You don’t know, but Mr. Liu also returned to the farmstead. He even obtained Master’s permission to bring his parents to stay on the farmstead. He said that he would send them home when spring comes.”

Li Yu looked at Ah Wei and smiled. “Go back to the farm and take a look at the bushes on the wasteland. How long and wide is it below? How far is it from the foot of the mountain? Come back and tell me when you’re done.”

Ah Wei smiled happily at that. “Yes, ma’am. I love exploring the wastelands. There’s more land as I look at it.”

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you to lead people to explore the wasteland.” Li Yu smiled..
