Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 322 - 314: Lin Yuantang Grows Increasingly Excited, His Eyes Shining Brightly

Chapter 322: Chapter 314: Lin Yuantang Grows Increasingly Excited, His Eyes Shining Brightly

"The late Emperor passed away, and since the Crown Prince ascended, the national welfare plan has been a headache for him. He sent the governor here successively to oversee the relocation of refugees, aiming to develop Wuheng. If this unique location could be successfully constructed, it would undoubtedly be a magnificent city to protect Da Jing!"

Ruan Mian somewhat understood Lord Lin’s bold statements; it’s nothing more than wanting to develop the town. Of course, Wuheng formally establishing a government office must be the Holy Emperor’s intention as well.

She smiled and said, "What the Lord says is impressive, but as a mere commoner, I fear I can’t be of much help..."

"That’s not true! Miss Ruan, though you are a woman, your wisdom surpasses others. Grain is the foundation of the nation, and you solving this issue is equivalent to saving hundreds of thousands of people!"

"Today, I specifically invited Miss Ruan here to ask for your guidance."

"Look, Wuheng has vast lands with sparse population, aside from the harsh weather, the soil is also fertile. If we can utilize it, it will definitely become a major granary!"

"Miss Ruan, I want to mobilize the entire city’s population to cultivate the barren land, and then allocate land to the people. If Miss Ruan can guide us in planting more crops, I’m sure our Wuheng City can shake off poverty, allowing the people to live and work in peace!"

The more Lin Yuantang spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes bursting with brightness.

"The Lord already has a plan, and for anything beneficial to the country and the people, I will help to the best of my ability. But regarding the land allocation to the people, does the court agree?"

No matter how he speaks, he’s just a magistrate, and when it comes to land, I’m afraid he doesn’t have such authority.

However, Lin Yuantang shook his head and brought out an edict from behind him: "Miss Ruan, you can rest assured about this matter. The Holy Emperor personally entrusted this place to me, and I will definitely live up to everyone’s expectations."

Seeing the yellow document, Ruan Mian no longer had any worries.

She respectfully bowed to Lord Lin: "In that case, as a civilian, I am willing to assist the Lord."

She knew well that to grow on a larger scale and have a higher yield, relying solely on their village’s people was far from sufficient.

Both manpower and materials are indispensable, and if necessary, the government must be involved to ensure smoother progress.

Since Lin Yuantang harbors ideas for developing this place, which align with Ruan Mian’s expectations, it would be better to take the opportunity to cooperate.

She would provide seeds and technology, while the government would mobilize the people, just in time for spring to cultivate the wasteland.

So, in the following days, Ruan Mian was extremely busy, either on the road to the magistrate’s office or heading to the planting grounds.

Business on the garrison side had to be entirely managed by her aunt.

The only time she could free herself was for Ruan Qing’s wedding during those two days.

Whether it’s the shops in the garrison or within Wuheng City, they were all closed for two days.

Even the cloth workshop and other such places took a break.

Ruan Qing’s marriage mobilized almost the entire village, not to mention she was marrying General Huo, and the military camp associated with Huo Zong was also filled with joy.

The Ruan Family now held a decent reputation in Wuheng, and the night before the wedding, she personally prepared dowry for Ruan Qing.

Though it seemed little initially, each small chest contained items that left Ruan Qing utterly astonished.

There were several shops, along with considerable land and properties.

In addition, there were numerous high-quality jewelry pieces, intricate and valuable beyond measure, clearly extraordinary items.

These were all but the most ordinary until Ruan Mian took out the profit-sharing contract from the Horse Transport Gang in the Capital City.

Ruan Qing was instantly stunned in place, incredulous: "Ah Mei! How come you have this?"

Ruan Mian replied indifferently, "Take it, this is what Ah Mei prepared for your security."

"Remember the Xuan Jia Army ’deserters’ we saved on the exile road?"

"Back then, I gave them a clear direction, advising them to find a person named Qi Congyang in the Capital City to transport goods. Now they have become the biggest transportation firm in the Capital City. And this profit-sharing contract ensures you gain a substantial amount of Silver Coin every year, more than enough for your spending pace over several lifetimes."

"Moreover, this contract not only includes profit proportions but also your property. Wherever you go, as long as there is a local branch of their transport firm, they will arrange accommodation for you."

This was an additional condition written into the contract with those people to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

"Ah Mei! You’ve already given me so much, such a valuable contract I surely cannot accept!"

"You’re my dear sister, we are the closest people in the world. Now that Ah Mei is capable, she naturally wants to give you the best."

"If you don’t accept it, Ah Mei will only feel indebted. Having been married twice, I deeply understand that marriage is not easy, and no matter how good the marriage might be, uncertainties are inevitable. Only by possessing something of your own can you have the confidence not to be troubled by current grievances and pursue a better life."

"So you must take these; marriage is a matter for two people. I hope you experience its essence and manage your marriage well. But remember, it’s not your ultimate destination; your ultimate destination is always yourself, do you understand?"

Her heartfelt words made Ruan Qing burst into tears, unable to control the flood of emotions.

"Ah Mei..."

With gratitude and heartbreak intermingled, she tightly hugged Ruan Mian, crying like a child.

Thinking back, when she and her family were exiled, there was only fear and anxiety, constantly alert and not daring to sleep.

But later, after witnessing Ah Mei’s courage, fearlessness, she too learned more and understood more.

Now that the family can peacefully live in Wuheng and things are getting better, all of this is thanks to Ah Mei!

"Ah Mei, Ms. Ruan will surely remember every word you said, living well on her own and cherishing herself."

"With your words, Ah Mei can be at ease."

This time, Ruan Qing’s wedding was decorated by Ruan Mian into a spectacular event, more grand than when she married Ah Huai.

The wedding dress made by her sister-in-law, the red hairpin gifted by her mother, the red velvet flower made by Cui Zhu, and the round fan hand-stitched by Shaoxi.

The threads and stitches on her clothing, every detail, all created by her family members.

Ruan Qing, dressed in splendid attire, looked radiant, and under the blessings and farewells of the people, she sat in the red sedan chair heading to the military camp.

Watching her daughter marry off, Mrs. Zhang was already in tears, unable to stop crying.

A mix of unspeakable joy and unspeakable reluctance, but above all, reflections on her daughter’s marriage.

Simultaneously, she looked at her beside her, Mianmian, with evident distress. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The second daughter married twice, with the first husband being a bad person who nearly ruined her life.

She finally found happiness in the second marriage, yet it was so short-lived. It is clear that her second daughter is such an outstanding woman; why doesn’t heaven grant her a husband who matches her and can stay together until old age?
