It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 379

Jiang Yan's idea of ​​quitting her job and returning to Dongshan Village to retire has rekindled.

Although the Fu family members have somewhat difficult personalities, they are honest and generous when they have plenty of money.

She sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), carefully touching the three large gold ingots she was carrying in her bosom, and then slurped up the mutton soup in the bowl in a few mouthfuls.

Because of the attacks day and night, the sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks raised in the village were almost completely wiped out. A small number of them that managed to escape during the conflict were found and slaughtered during the cleanup later.

Fu Jian instructed the steward to reward the villagers who were fighting hard against the enemy with all the livestock that were still edible. Overjoyed, the steward specially picked out the sheep that he had castrated and sent half of it to Granny Hong so that she could show off her culinary skills.

It's so nice to have someone to look after you. Jiang Yan thought about the roasted lamb leg she had for lunch, which had such a strong, unpleasant smell, and her mouth started to water again. It was just a pity that her cold had flared up again, and the doctor only allowed her to eat a few pieces.

In a house not far away, Fu Weixin sat down, exhausted after soothing a crying baby. Huanyan quickly handed him a bowl of food.

"I noticed that the young lady who brought the roasted meat earlier didn't seem to have much of an appetite, so I went to Granny Hong's place and asked for a bowl of Jadeite Soup."

Jadeite and White Jade Soup, commonly known as Cabbage Dumpling Soup, was Jiang Yan's signature dish used to make do with food when he was wandering around.

Before this, Fu Weixin ate Baiyu soup, where Baiyu was a small, round dough ball hand-kneaded by the cooks of the governor's mansion, and the soup was a fresh and rich mutton soup.

But for some reason, she didn't want to try the white jade soup at the governor's mansion after only a few sips, while she often missed the rough version from Jiang Yan, and could even eat a few more sips when she didn't have a good appetite.

Huan Yan opened the lid of the pot for the young lady Fu, and seeing the milky white color of the soup, she quickly explained, "This servant said I didn't want any meat soup."

"It's alright." Fu Weixin didn't want to make a fuss, so he just took a bite and then looked a little surprised.

-----------------

Jiang Yan finally got to return to Rongcheng County.

However, before setting off, she and Chunying were again chosen by Inspector Fu to have a heart-to-heart talk with Inspector Fu.

Jiang Yan truly couldn't understand it. After not seeing each other for so many years, what good could their conversation possibly do? She even had a dark suspicion that it might be a way to showcase the hardships of their lives in order to help his niece get back on her feet.

Compared to her energetic state before giving birth, Jiang Yan did notice that Ms. Fu seemed somewhat depressed and listless. However, given the devastating blow she suffered immediately after giving birth and the month-long separation from her own child, her poor mental state was quite normal…

The woman chatted with the two women perfunctorily and casually.

It wasn't until Chunying cautiously asked, "The young lady's husband?"

"Oh right, where is she?" Jiang Yan suddenly remembered that Fu Nulang had a husband, but he really seemed to have no presence in her life.

Fu Weixin was slightly taken aback, then said nonchalantly, "He can't distinguish right from wrong, and he's arguing with my mother and me. He's currently being punished by being locked up."

Jiang Yan looked at Chunying. She was unsure about these kinds of things. Was Fu Nulang's attitude a direct death sentence for her husband, or did she intend to try to save him again?

Chunying wasn't sure either. She tentatively offered a few words of advice, but seeing that the young lady was becoming increasingly silent and clearly didn't want to hear it, she shut her mouth again.

The air was quiet again.

Jiang Yan was somewhat uneasy. What if Miss Fu didn't cheer up, and her uncle asked them to persuade her for a few more days and then continue to stay in Changning Prefecture? All she had experience with was failing to persuade her to break up.

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yan finally had an inspiration.

As the child raised by Chang Qing, the former governor of Dingfu, Fu Nulang and her aunt are not very close. However, due to heredity, she may also be very interested in "power".
