Reborn with super powers: The general wants to repay his kindness

Chapter 383 Facing Cheng, he actually doesn’t have that much self-esteem.

Li Zheng and several elderly people in the village thought that the fire was probably caused by Xu Fugui's drunkenness, so they discussed it and decided to ask the Yamen's clerk to take a look.

Xu Dazhu wiped away his tears, said something to his wife, got into a car and went to the county government office in person.Although his parents were very unfair to him, and his brothers did not treat him as an elder brother, it still weighed heavy on his heart when they died together. After all, they were all his relatives.

When the county government heard that it was a matter in Zhengyang Village, they didn't dare to delay, and they didn't even dare to accept Xu Dazhu's money.

Just kidding, Zhengyang Village is where Marquis Dingguo and the Lord of Anqing County stay. Although Dechang County is not the place where the Lord of Anqing County lives, they are people they cannot afford to offend and must be careful to respect!

Now that something happened there, let alone a fire, they had to treat it as seriously as a big deal, no matter how small it was.We must investigate, we must carefully find out the reason, and we must not let the slightest safety hazard appear around Dingguo Hou and Anqing County Lord.

The people from the yamen reported to the county magistrate along the way, and the county magistrate immediately sent a sergeant to lead the workers and hurried to Zhengyang Village. So before noon, Xu Dazhu came back with the people from the county yamen.

The policeman and the policemen checked the house several times, and the results they came to made them relieved. It was not much different from the previous guesses of the villagers. The fire was an unintentional mistake of the Xu family, and the perpetrator was the deceased Xu Fugui.After careful examination, Wu Zuo said that Xu Fugui drank a lot of alcohol before his death, and there was no sign of a struggle until his death, which meant that he was burned to death in a drunken dream.

When the people from the county government came over, Lu Yanzhao also went there. They were flattered to see Marquis Dingguo personally intervening.Who doesn’t know how many people outside are asking to see the Marquis and the Lord of Anqing County? Except for the county magistrate’s wife, no one has been able to step into the village. They didn’t expect that they would be able to see the Marquis with their own eyes after going on an errand. How could they not be excited?

After determining the cause of death, Xu Dazhu arranged to bury the three people in coffins. He and his wife would not be able to spend the New Year in peace.

The next day, Zhengyang Village was covered with snow. The place where Xu’s family was originally burnt was covered with white after a while. Villagers coming and going saw it and thought that the snow had fallen in time, otherwise they would have seen this. The burnt black place always makes me feel uneasy.

Although Xu Dazhu's family is holding a funeral, it does not affect the villagers' New Year atmosphere too much. Of course, there is another factor in this, that is, what the Xu family has done in the past six months is too unpopular, and their feelings are shallow, so naturally The most I can say is that my own life is more important.

Families working in Zhuangzi and in the mountains, at the end of the year, in addition to red envelopes, each received a piece of New Year's goods from their employer to take home.Five pounds of pork, five pounds of white flour and a portion of pastries and sweets per person.He was very diligent and performed very well, and he even got two months' extra salary, which made other people envious.Therefore, the New Year atmosphere in Zhengyang Village this year is more lively than in previous years. Before New Year’s Eve, people started setting off cannons.

Lu Yanzhao took people to the Yu family's cemetery to pay homage to the Yu family's ancestors. The folk custom here is that pregnant women are not allowed to visit the graves, so Yu Cheng had to stay at home.

On New Year's Eve, amidst the fragrance of plum blossoms early in the morning, people in Zhuangzi began to be busy with the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.

No one dared to let Yu Cheng take action, so she had no choice but to take Xiaobai and Xiaoxiong for a walk around the yard, and then entered the warm room with a breath of air-conditioning and a round ball at her feet.

Lu Yanzhao was looking at the account book when someone came in and stood up to brush the snowflakes from her hair: "Is it cold? It's snowing and you have to go out."

"It's not cold. Look at my hands. They're not cold at all." Yu Cheng smiled and put his hands on Lu Yanzhao's face. His wet and cold hands touched them, making Lu Yanzhao's face tremble.Yu Cheng misbehaved, and it was clear that she had just grasped the snow in her hands, which were cold and cold. Lu Yanzhao helplessly brought a cloth to wipe her hands clean, and then used his own hands to warm his hands.

The chubby little bear raised its head and saw that no one was paying attention to it. It grunted twice, shook its short body, climbed to the edge of the table, and began to sharpen its claws. Where is its food?

Seeing its appearance, Yu Cheng stretched out his foot and nudged it angrily, and the little bear... rolled away...

Lu Yanzhao felt that Yu Cheng, who returned to Zhengyang Village, had regained some of his childish nature, which made him feel very cute.

Lu Yanzhao took Yu Cheng to the table and sat down. He pointed at several account books spread out on the table and said, "Sister Cheng, do you know how much money you have earned this year?"

Yu Cheng looked away from Little Bear and said nonchalantly: "How much? Do you have 100 million taels?"

Lu Yanzhao coughed and suppressed a laugh: "It's more than 100 million taels. Even after deducting the part given to His Majesty, it's still more."

Lu Yanzhao reported a number, and Yu Cheng just raised his eyebrows after hearing this. Lu Yanzhao shook his head helplessly, what should he do if he marries a woman who can make a lot of money?Well, facing Cheng, he actually doesn't have that much self-esteem, and he is still a little complacent. It's an honor for his wife to fuck him.

It won't take long for Sister Cheng to earn back the wealth accumulated by generations of those aristocratic families.

"Now that you have so much money in your hand, how do you plan to spend it?" Lu Yanzhao's words were not meant as a joke. After all, other people were worried about not having enough money, but his family was worried about how to spend it when they had too much money.In other houses, there are countless servants who live under the same roof for several generations, and the daily expenses are huge, but even if their craftsmen are included in the workshops, they are probably not half as many as those noble families.

Yu Cheng thought for a while and said that no matter how much she earned, she was still not as rich as the emperor.The money given to the emperor before was just to show loyalty, and the emperor's subsequent rewards also made up for it little by little.Just because the emperor doesn't care, doesn't mean that others don't care. The money in your hand must be used for some purpose for the emperor to see, so as to save others from making slanderous remarks and disrupting their steps.

"I have discussed with Aunt Jiang and plan to buy the vacant land to the east of Aunt Jiang's yard after the New Year, and then expand the village. In this way, Aunt Jiang's yard will be completely enclosed. Wei Yuan and Sister Ning are getting married. They will also have their own place in the future, so we will arrange a small courtyard for them. This will also prepare for the increase in the population of Zhuangzi in the future."

"Okay, we will arrange Wei Yuan's marriage after the house is built." Lu Yanzhao had no objection.

Yu Cheng had heard from Li Zheng before that the village planned to open a school after the busy spring next year, and also wanted to clean up the road at the entrance of the village.Yu Cheng thinks this is a good thing. A private school in a village does not require much money, and she can afford it. The same goes for building roads. Even if they have to build it to the county seat, she, Yu Cheng, can also afford it.

But this is also nonsense, officialdom is governed by the government.
