Chapter 1702
Other than Shen He's family, every single household in the village had been harmed, though to a certain extent.
The village chief immediately ordered the entire village to clear up the battlefield and report the losses.
Shen He did not stay idle either. The guards who had just rested dragged the wolf carcasses outside the courtyard back again.
Shen He was grateful for their help, hence she prepared a huge table of sumptuous food for them.
The injured guards were all treated well.
Second Uncle Wang came over and asked Shen He: There are so many wolf corpses, how are you going to deal with them?
"Second Uncle, do you have any good suggestions?" Shen He smiled and asked: "I plan to leave a portion of the wolf skin behind and make some mattress for Second Uncle to sew a pair of leather pants. I will sell the rest."
Second Uncle Wang immediately became embarrassed: "No need, Second Uncle does not need these, you can sell them all! "I have a good relationship with the butcher in the city. I won't cheat you on the price."
Shen He said seriously: "This wolf corpse also has the contribution of second uncle, how can we let it go? Second Uncle, leave this matter to me. I'll take care of everything. "
Second Uncle Wang scratched the top of his head and said: "Alright, it's your decision. I'm not good at this. "
On the third day, the snow on the official road started to melt. Several carriages stopped outside Shen He's house.
Wen Jian Qing rushed in like the wind: "Sis, are you alright? "When I received the news, I immediately rushed over. I didn't expect that it would still be too late after all."
When Shen He saw Wen Jian Qing, she immediately smiled and raised her eyebrows: I'm fine, what can I do? This trial was finally over. After cleaning up the battlefield, it was time to prepare for the new year. Jian Qing, do you have any special news from the capital? "
Wen Jian Qing replied dejectedly, "There is no useful information. I've been keeping an eye on the young men who are rising up in the government all these days, but none of them are the ones we're looking for. "
It was hard for Shen He to hide the disappointment on her face, but she still consoled Wen Jian Qing, "It's alright, take it slow. We still have decades to find each other. "Look at me, it took me half a year to find you. Maybe next year I will be able to find someone else."
Wen Jian Qing nodded, encouraging himself, and said casually: "Sis, don't worry, nothing will happen to the snow this time. The higher-ups had already made emergency preparations, and the relief food soon arrived. "I'm worried that you don't have enough food here, so I got someone to send you two cars. I'll send it to you after you're done eating."
Shen He immediately called for the rest of the people in the house to unload the food on the horse carriage and stored it in her storage.
She would not be courteous to Wen Jian Qing!
Moreover, she had a lot of people on her side and she consumed food very quickly. Especially after these few days of eating so much, her family's food reserves were about to run out.
Wen Jian Qing came just in time!
Shen He laughed and said: "Since I'm here, I'll make a soup for you at noon. This wolf meat is very rare."
In his previous life, wolf meat was also very rare.
In this life, it was similarly difficult to come by.
As expected, Wen Jian Qing did not bother to be polite with him. He stayed at Shen He's place for another two days before bringing the others back to the town.
Shen He still only left behind ten guards, two servants, and two maids.
At the end of the year, the guards had to return to report.
As expected, Second Uncle Wang contacted a butcher for Shen He. Shen He sold all the wolf meat and fur she didn't need, but she actually sold it for over three hundred silver.
With money, Shen He's confidence grew once again.
Originally, Shen He had pla
ed to go and purchase some New Year stuff, but with Wen Jian Qing there, he had prepared everything ready. Shen He just waited for the New Year to arrive in peace.
The Village Chief only came over to ask if there were any casualties. After making sure that Shen He was alright, he left.
The rest of the people in the village couldn't care less, they were all busy rebuilding after the disaster.
In a short period of time, the People in the village did not gossip, and everyone was busy doing their jobs.
Second Uncle Wang came back from the outside and unloaded the New Year goods from the carriage. Shen He immediately said, "Second Uncle has everything at home, why are we still buying?"
The Second Uncle Wang chuckled and said: "What you have prepared is yours, what Second Uncle has prepared is Second Uncle's, it is not the same thing. If second uncle shamelessly stays with you and doesn't buy anything, how will that work? "
Just as Shen He was about to speak, she heard someone call out from outside: "Is Second Brother Wang home?"
Seeing that the other party was looking for him, Second Uncle Wang immediately replied: "I'm here, who is it?"
Shen He and Second Uncle Wang looked outside at the same time and saw a matchmaker standing at the door, smiling at them.
In this era, most of the matchmakers were government agents.
The official media meant that they were co
ected to the government through clear cha
els and legal procedures.
The people also had matchmakers, but they had little control over their resources and had a low success rate.
Therefore, most people still liked to deal with the official media. After all, they had a lot of resources at their disposal!
Seeing that it was a matchmaker, Second Uncle Wang hurriedly went forward to welcome her. "This is Second Aunt Zhao."
When Madame Zhao saw Second Uncle Wang, the smile on her face became even more genuine. "My luck hasn't been good these few days, so I didn't come looking for you. "Isn't this refreshing? I want to come over and take a look."
Shen He immediately understood that this was the matchmaker who had been introduced to the Second Uncle Wang. She immediately said, "Second Grandma Zhao, quickly come in and talk. Don't stand outside.
"Ai ai ai!" Madame Zhao replied happily. She pulled Shen He's hand and looked at it, then said: "After the new year, Shen He should be around 11, right?"
"Yeah." Shen He replied with a smile. She didn't need to marry anyway, so age had no other meaning to her.
Shen He called for Madame Zhao to enter the house, immediately a servant came over with hot tea.
Madame Zhao looked around, more and more satisfied, and said to Second Uncle Wang: "Such a large family business, it truly isn't easy! You even used a servant girl. I see that there are guards outside? "
Second Uncle Wang smiled lightly: "These were all earned by Shen He."
The meaning behind his words was that no matter how good this place was, it was not his. He would still be living here as a lodger.
If it wasn't for the fact that the house was broken, he wouldn't be here.
Shen He understood what Madame Zhao meant and replied: "This place is also Second Uncle's home."
Madame Zhao was waiting for these exact words, and Madame Zhao turned to Second Uncle Wang and said, "Today at the assembly, I brought Xue Jia Village and Feng Family Village from San Gou Village to take a peek at it. The two families expressed their satisfaction, so Madame Zhao asked me to come over to hear your thoughts. You sold so many things at the fair today, aren't you worth a lot of money? It shouldn't be a problem to get a room, right? "
Second Uncle Wang suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Those things are also Shen He's, I was just helping to sell them."
Shen He replied, "There's absolutely no problem in starting a new house. As my niece, I will naturally not stand idly by and watch Second Uncle build a house. "
Therefore, Madame Zhao, you should bravely introduce your second uncle to someone else!
