After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 546: Will the river embankment continue to be repaired?

The matter of the riverbank was not concluded until the seventh day. The bodies of the people had been found, but because of the hot weather they were sent back for burial early.

Xia Wanniang asked Chai Song to give them 500 taels of silver for each dead citizen, because the value of life is far more than this 500 taels of silver.

When Rouyue and the others came back, apart from being a little tired, they didn't have many problems.

Gu Man walked up to her and said, "Madam, do we still need to continue building the riverbank?"

Xia Wanniang looked at Gu Man: "Do you want to stop?"

Gu Man pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xia Wanniang looked at Gu Man and said, "Do you know why I must build water conservancy projects?"

Yunshan had an injured arm this time, so he also came back with them to recover: "Only by building water conservancy projects can we avoid water shortages in the dry season and avoid disasters in floods."

Gu Man looked at Yunshan and said, "But a lot of people died this time."

Yunshan's expression was very calm: "If you get scared this time, more people will die in the future."

Gu Man was not talking.

Xia Wanniang looked at Gu Man and said, "Read more books when you have time. Water conservancy projects are of top priority, whether in the northwest or the south of the Yangtze River."

Gu Man nodded and said nothing more.

Xia Wanniang waved towards Yunshan: "Let me see your hand."

Yunshan walked up to him and said, "Madam, it's okay. You'll be fine after a while."

Xia Wanniang still checked him and found no broken bones: "Take good care of yourself during this period."

"Okay." Yunshan nodded obediently.

The people did not complain about this incident. The compensation given by Xia Wanniang was more than enough. It might be money that they might not be able to earn in their entire lifetime.

But how do they know that they will earn more in the future than they do now?

The matter was eventually reported to the capital.

Both she and Xu Li were reported. This time, neither of them made any excuses. They were punished when they deserved to be punished and scolded when they deserved to be scolded. After it was over, they continued to do their own things.

"Madam, Yuse (Yunshan's jackal) and its mate are about to give birth." Yunshan hung one hand around his neck. Now he was responsible for looking after these ancestors in the house.

Xia Wanniang was looking at the three children and couldn't leave: "Yunshan, go to the field and call them back."

Yunshan immediately ran to the field to call for help.

When Auntie Xiao and the others came running back, they were sweating all over their faces: "Mrs. Wan, are the female wolves and female jackals about to give birth?"

"Yeah." Xia Wanniang asked Qiu He to look after the three little guys, and she went to the rooms of the little ancestors.

Just as I reached the door, I heard a warning growl coming from inside.

Lai Fu pulled its trouser leg and said: Don’t go in. They are very irritable and wary when they give birth.

Xia Wanniang nodded and asked Lai Fu to tell them to come out and find her if they needed help.

Aunt Xiao saw that she came back soon, and several children gathered around her: "Mom."

Xia Wanniang looked at them and said, "Don't worry, they are quite sensitive right now, so we shouldn't get close to them."

Xiao Zimu and his friends sat on the mat and played with their three younger sisters.

They were so amused that they couldn't stop laughing, which actually helped to dispel the tense atmosphere in the yard.

Aunt Xiao looked at the children making a mess. This year they came back early, which was rare, so they could have a better rest.

Xia Wanniang wanted to take a look at the rooms of the ancestors. She didn’t know what was going on inside. They could even make an appointment to give birth to a baby together.

Don't know if they are good.

Aunt Xiao also found it strange: "How can they be born on the same day?"

Xia Wanniang couldn't answer and looked at Lai Fu: "Do you know?"

Lai Fu rolled his eyes: How would I know? Is it polite to ask a single fox such a question?

Aunt Xiao raised her hand to stroke Lai Fu's hair. She didn't know when our Lai Fu would be able to find a companion.

Lai Fu moved his big ears: If one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry.

Xia Wanniang's mouth twitched: "I was counting on you to give me a few more smart ones."

Lai Fu thought about it seriously: Will you be responsible for raising him?

Xia Wanniang didn't know what to say: "Okay, as long as you give birth to the baby, I will raise it."

Lai Fu nodded with satisfaction: I will go out for a walk in a few days and bring back a smart little fox.

Xia Wanniang looked at it and was thinking of something else: You must not look for a Tibetan fox. Although you are both foxes, your appearance is very different.

She was afraid that she couldn't accept it.
