Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 251 - 247: Others Are Worried—"How Can 3 Days Possibly Be Enough?

Chapter 251: Chapter 247: Others Are Worried—"How Can 3 Days Possibly Be Enough?

One day is enough to gather the materials and transport them outside the city, and with the experienced villagers at work, there is no need for many words, the efficiency is even higher.

Ruan Mian immediately spent an hour detailing the personnel arrangements. Except for the need for General Huo’s help to dig sand at the Linfen River, the rest was managed by her going to the village to call for help.

Three days is already short, and they didn’t waste a moment. Xie Huai’an went with her without a word to the house.

Although it was already late at night, Ruan Mian had not yet returned from meeting the governor, and the villagers couldn’t sleep.

So they all stayed at home waiting for news from the Ruan Family’s side.

As soon as she returned, nearly the entire village gathered outside the Ruan Family’s house, all eager to know how the negotiation had gone.

Ruan Mian informed Mr. Xue about the construction of the main city walls and handed over her more detailed process and plan to several key figures to review.

Others, however, were anxious: "How can three days be enough?"

"This is clearly the governor not wanting to give us a chance, just wanting to send us back to being exiles again! How could we possibly finish in three days?"

But those who saw Ruan Mian’s detailed plan were full of confidence!

"Everyone! This is also an opportunity Miss Ruan risked her life to get for us. Moreover, Miss Ruan has arranged everything in such detail, we only need to work together for three days to be free from the hardship of forced labor in the future!"

"So many of us have built roads, and the road to Wuheng City was also built by us. Transporting the materials will not take long. With everyone working together, I think three days will be enough!"

That person looked at Ruan Mian and immediately called over several leaders who were originally responsible for road construction.

"As long as we strictly follow Miss Ruan’s arrangements, with everyone knowing what they need to do, and doing their utmost, it will work!"

"This concerns our future; a simple city wall, what is it compared to that?!" In fact, they all underestimated themselves.

By strictly following Ruan Mian’s plan, several hundreds of villagers, plus Huo Zong dispatched a hundred soldiers to support.

Moreover, that evening she took out many carts from the Xuanjia Army Camp she had looted before.

She falsely claimed that these carts were once made by Ruan Mao, and whenever there was an aunt involved, they could echo whatever was said about Ruan Mao.

With those carts for transporting raw materials, the people divided the work among themselves, and with the existing materials and flat roads, it didn’t take more than a day to have all the materials transported.

Everyone was busy at their respective posts at the same time.

For two consecutive days, the area around the city wall was bustling with activity, working day and night.

In the Governor Mansion, the subordinate officials even brought some women who originally served as army concubines to present to the Governor, while mocking Ruan Mian.

"Governor, I see that city wall, it definitely won’t be finished in three days. Look, most of the time has passed, and they’re still just making a mess without any construction starting!"

"That woman, where did she get the courage, to boast in front of you, Governor! Rest assured, our people are watching in secret, and when three days are over, they surely won’t pull any tricks!"

The official stroked his beard and brought those charming ladies up with a sycophantic smile.

"Governor, these are the women I have carefully selected for you, their skills in bed are remarkable. Such a dreamy place, how can anyone live like a monk in a temple?"

Chen Bozong glanced at these well-proportioned women, his eyebrows moved slightly, and his attendant did not forget to whisper a reminder.

"Marquis, this matter needs careful consideration."

Indeed, he had just arrived and rushing things was always risky.

Just as he was about to restrain himself, a woman dressed in Western Regions’ dance attire swayed her seductive dance, her enchanting eyes like a fox’s, and with the sound of ankle bells, she softly leaned against Chen Bozong’s side.

The official saw, and there was undoubtedly something interesting, so he tactfully ushered the other women and servants out.

As the dancer’s slender hands encircled Chen Bozong’s shoulders, the slender leg hidden beneath her clothing, entwined around Chen Bozong’s like a snake...

The subordinate smiled broadly as he left the Governor Mansion, looked at the men from Lanqiang sitting on the carriage, and sneered.

"This batch of goods is indeed not bad, just now that woman was so alluring, still full of charm, and our governor really liked her."

The man gave a shallow smile and replied in a sharp voice: "How could any normal man resist such beauty? Besides, the woman came from General Hu Lie’s Mansion."

"Oh? Was she someone noble before?"

"Yes, only because she made a mistake and was expelled by the general, having nowhere to turn, she came to us."

Meanwhile, in the Governor Mansion’s chambers, the loud laughter of men and women enjoying themselves could already be heard.

This woman was the most varied and exciting Chen Bozong had ever seen; he was truly lost in pleasure, losing track of politics, not knowing day from night.

Finally, exhausted, he reluctantly left the woman’s embrace, intending to take a good rest.

Yet before he could fully fall asleep, someone hurriedly came to report.

"Sir, sir! The main affairs in the city report that the main city wall has... has already been built! They want you to come and inspect it." At these words, Chen Bozong sat up as if startled from his illness, and quickly stood up.

"Is this true?"

Wasn’t it just the night before, that Wang Duzhen confidently declared they wouldn’t finish?

He swiftly dressed and proceeded to the wall.

Although the city wall’s bricks have not yet dried, this several-meter-high stone wall stood upright ahead.

Hundreds stood beneath it, admiring their own handiwork, the sense of accomplishment indescribable.

They never thought they could truly create a miracle!

The leaders were so excited to report the good news to Ruan Mian.

"Miss Ruan, thanks to your command, we were able to cooperate so closely and construct this magnificent city wall so quickly!"

"Indeed, at this rate, even constructing the entire outer city wall of Wuheng City would take just less than fifteen days!"

When Chen Bozong arrived by carriage and saw the immense wall, it left him dumbfounded, incredulous.

He had thought the woman was just trying to use the bet to buy time, hoping to see what game she was playing, perhaps expecting Xie Huai’an to come help.

Now it seemed she had been genuinely prepared when she confidently set the three-day bet.

But, such a project, in just three days! How did she manage it?!

In his puzzlement, Ruan Mian stood calmly in front of him after a polite greeting, and spoke plainly.

"Governor, I have fulfilled our three-day agreement. This is enough to prove the value of our villagers to you. Today, with General Huo and Station Master Mr. Xie as witnesses, I hope the governor will honor our agreement."

At this moment, Huo Zong, holding a spear, walked up to Chen Bozong with a grin and said: "Mr. Chen, being an official sent by the court, naturally, your word carries weight, unshakable by idle gossip."

Besides, with so many people present, Chen Bozong certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to go back on his word on the spot.

He forced a few smiles and awkwardly said: "In that case, it will be done as promised."

"Miss Ruan, you have remarkable skills. Your Jinsha Village is indeed invaluable. I hope that in the future, such skills will be put to proper use, to jointly build Wuheng City well, achieving feats that will delight the official."

Everyone was thrilled to hear this, and once the governor left, they couldn’t wait to return home to celebrate.

Ruan Mian, accompanied by her family, first went to the post station where Xie Huai’an was located. After a rewarding meal, they returned home.
