The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 61 - 59 Does she deserve such a great reward
Chapter 61: Chapter 59 Does she deserve such a great reward?
Chapter 61 -59 Does she deserve such a great reward?
The villagers around quieted down as soon as they saw the government runner, and then they all turned to look at Granny Lei.
Granny Lei stepped forward, “This common woman is a member of the Ruo Family.”
The government runner, faced with a document completely irrelevant to the topic at hand, had to harden his resolve and recite the message from the Lord County Magistrate, only picking what he remembered, and stumbling through it: “The Ruo Family has discovered that Zizania is edible, benefiting the people and contributing to water control, for which…for which the merits are great. The Imperial Court thus bestows upon them residence number one on Jira Street.”
All the villagers on the mountain were silent!
What was this government runner talking about?
Was he farting?
The Ruo Family had received an estate from the Imperial Court as a reward?
Residence number one on Jira Street?
That was the estate of the former, highly corrupt military governor!
It was only confiscated by the Imperial Court last year.
And it was newly constructed not long ago, not even warmed by its first inhabitants yet.
The most…most…most important point being that it was bigger than even the residence of the Courageous General, right?
What did the Ruo Family do to deserve such a grand reward?
Just because they discovered that Geng Grass was edible?
They knew it could be eaten too. They just hadn’t eaten it!
Contributed to water control?
They had contributed too!
They too had shouldered sandbags and dug river channels!
Why did only the Ruo Family receive an estate as a reward?
The government runner quickly rolled up the document to conceal it from view, then said, “Granny, the deed to the estate will be delivered by the Government tomorrow. I have matters to attend to, so I must take my leave!”

Granny Lei felt as if she were in a dream, dizzy and dazed, as if she were on cloud nine!
Ruo Xuan respectfully gave a deep bow, “Thank you, my lord.”
Then she even took out a piece of silver as a tip for the government runner.
This was the knowledge of social customs she had learned from Madame Xuanyuan.
She was precociously adept at it and quite endearing.
The government runner accepted the silver, offered some perfunctory congratulations, and then appeared to hurry off!
Madame Xuanyuan chuckled happily, “Congratulations, Granny Lei, on the new house!”
Granny Lei still felt unreal and dizzily said, “Is it a mistake?”
All the villagers nodded: It was definitely a mistake!
Why would it be?
Madame Xuanyuan waved her hand, “No mistake! No mistake!”
Madame Xuanyuan wanted to get confirmation from the County Magistrate Zhang.
But after scanning the crowd, she saw no sign of him.
Heaven knew that, fearing public outrage, the County Magistrate had hidden himself away early.
Madame Xuanyuan could only let it go and smiled, “From now on, we’ll be neighbors in the village, and in the city, we’ll be neighbors too. When we get tired of the village, we can stay together in the city for a while.”
Granny Lei still felt it was surreal, but nodded dizzily.
Ruo Xuan sweetly said, “Sure, let’s go to the city together when we have time.”
“Yes,” Madame Xuanyuan said joyfully as she hugged Ruo Xuan, glancing at those who had looked down on Xuanbao, thinking Xuanbao didn’t deserve to live in a big house.
Seeing their expressions full of discomfort and a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment, the old lady felt quite satisfied!
To deal with these people, only a slap in the face with raw power would make them truly uncomfortable!
Hmph, her Xuanbao had discovered that Zizania was edible and had dreamt of a flood, saving so many commoners. With such great contributions, why shouldn’t she live in a big house?
With these two significant deeds, her Xuanbao deserved to live in a big house.
Discovering that Zizania could be eaten was a blessing for the people of Shaxi County.
This flood disaster allowed the commoners to earn silver by selling zizania, and it even saved the Imperial Court a substantial amount of grain and silver. Truly a win-win situation.
Moreover, although many commoners were reluctant to harvest their rice early, there were still many poor commoners who did, and the Government’s rice was also harvested early. Otherwise, the loss would have been severe!
How many poor commoners did this save, allowing them to avoid a complete crop failure? And how much of a burden did it lift from the Imperial Court?
It’s the poor commoners who suffer the most in the face of natural disasters.
As long as the lives of the poor commoners aren’t too unbearable, the Imperial Court can breathe more easily.
Therefore, Xuanbao absolutely deserves to be rewarded with a mansion.

The group stayed for about a quarter of an hour before returning to the villa.
As soon as the elderly Lady Xuanyuan returned to the villa, she went to her room to write a letter to her son, reporting her safety, and by the way, to request things and ask for people.
Xiaojiu was willing to study with the teacher, so naturally, she had to arrange the best teacher for him.
Ever since Xiaojiu got to know Xuanbao, he finally seemed more human.
For this reason alone, even if the reward to Xuanbao was another mansion, it would be well deserved, Lady Xuanyuan thought to herself.
Ruo Xuan stayed by Xuanyuan Que’s side and asked, “Brother Xuanyuan, how much silver would it take to build a house as beautiful as the General Residence?”
The house awarded by the Imperial Court was in the city, and their village house wouldn’t be sufficient.
“Over ten thousand taels of silver.” The General Residence, well-known for being crafted by a master landscape architect, used only the finest timber. The flooring paved with white marble, even the rockeries and stones in the garden were naturally formed stones with very auspicious symbolism. Such stones with natural, excellent connotations were highly coveted by the wealthy and noble, and there wasn’t a single item in there that wasn’t precious.
With only a little more than two hundred taels in her pocket, Ruo Xuan silently calculated the distance between her two hundred taels and ten thousand taels.
It seemed quite far away!
She’d need to think of ways to earn silver.
Xuanyuan Que looked at her, “Do you want to use Ruo Shui to purify your uncle’s body from the mad dog’s aura?”
Ever since Ruo Hai was knocked unconscious by Ruo Xuan’s slap that day and brought back to the villa, he had been locking himself in a room.
“Of course!”
“Give me the Ruo Shui, and I’ll have the doctor add it to the medicinal herbs for his medicinal bath.”
“No need! Just add it directly to the water.” Ruo Shui’s purification power was very strong, and of course, it was also very painful for the flesh it contacted.
“Hard to explain,” Xuanyuan Que said lightly.
Ruo Xuan understood then!
“Being human is so troublesome, this can’t be done, that can’t be done, it’s better to be a flower.” Ruo Xuan handed over a droplet of Ruo Shui to him.
So Xuanyuan Que asked Dr. Liang from the residence to treat Ruo Hai, and then to prepare a medicinal bath for him.
Inside the room, Dr. Liang said to Ruo Hai, “This medicine is very powerful. While soaking in it, you will feel alternating cold and hot sensations, and it will be as if millions of ants are biting you, causing immense pain! But no matter how painful it is, you must soak in the medicinal bath for an hour so that your illness can be cured.”
Ruo Hai nodded, “I’m not afraid of pain.”
As long as this strange illness could be cured, he was not afraid of any pain!
Ruo Xuan touched the edge of the large bathing tub and infused it with a breath of her energy, comforting, “Don’t worry, uncle, this already has painkillers added to it, it won’t be that painful!”
Ruo Hai smiled, “Thank you, Xuanbao, with this reassuring news, I am at ease.”
Ruo Xuan nodded, “Hurry up and take your medicinal bath, uncle! We’re going out now, and if it hurts, just shout out, there’s no shame in it!”
Ruo Hai waved his hand, not at all concerned, “Don’t worry, as a man who has been to the battlefield, I am absolutely not afraid of pain, and will definitely not cry out even if it hurts. A true man should be able to endure even minor pain; anything less wouldn’t befit a man!”
Ruo Hai wanted to put up a good front in front of his son, since he didn’t get to spend much time with him on a daily basis.
“Uncle is so brave!”
Thus, everyone left the room and Ruo Shui and Ruo Zhou were the only two who stayed behind in case Ruo Hai needed anything, as they would be able to manage the situation.
Ruo Jiang was the last to leave. He had just closed the door when a series of ear-piercing screams erupted from inside, “Ah—!”
“Ah—ah—ah—”
…..
Scream after scream thundered out, nearly bursting Ruo Xuan’s eardrums!
What about the supposed bravery of a true man?
