Chapter 597: Chapter 597 Heart Moving, Body Moving_1

After settling the first batch of refugee orphans, Wei Ruo busied herself again with potato farming.

The potatoes harvested from the previous batch as well as the rents returned by the villagers could be used as seeds for the next planting.

In this way, practically no potatoes were left in Wei Ruo’s hands. The storehouse remained spotless and clean.

In addition to the big daily consumption of food due to the adoption of children and the hiring of workers to repair the road, the food they brought over had almost been exhausted.

Yun Zixiu worried that the remaining food would not be enough for them to starve before the autumn harvest.

Although the King Rui Residence had a lot of silver, in the current state of affairs, it was difficult to buy grains from the nearby Capital City or the southern regions. The road was fraught with dangers, either being looted by refugees or bandits. Even if it was successfully sent over, it would not arrive for a month.

When Yun Zixiu was worried, Lady Xiumei brought back eight carts of rice and wheat to King Rui Residence.

Yun Zixiu was astounded when he was called out to receive the grains.

“Lady Xiumei, where did all this grain come from?” Yun Zixiu couldn’t help but ask.

“It was transported from my lady’s estate in the south, and I picked it up.” Xiumei answered.

Actually, it was from Wei Ruo’s space, but in order not to arouse others’intuitions, the two discussed the method.

Xiumei drove out an empty cart, claiming that she was picking up grain transported from the south. In fact, she just turned around in the mountain gully, let Wei Ruo fill the cart with grain and then drove it out.

“Now it’s inconvenient to buy things from the south, and there are many dangers along the way. The fabric I recently bought from the south hasn’t arrived yet. Which route did your grain take to arrive so smoothly?”

“My lady has her unique channels for doing business.” Xiumei recited her premeditated lines.

Yun Zixiu couldn’t help but marvel inwardly, how influential are these channels that they can surpass the official family?

Although curious, he decided not to ask more.

He then directed the men below to store the eight carts of grain brought by Xiumei in the warehouse.

Xiumei then told Yun Zixiu: “In a few days, several carts of sweet potatoes will be sent over. And in the coming month, a batch of goods will be delivered every seven or eight days. So I will have to trouble Master Yun to empty the warehouse.”

“Okay.” Yun Zixiu agreed, marvelling in his mind.

It seems that he was overthinking. The young Lady, after all, has her ways.

###

June 5th.

After dinner, Wei Ruo, as usual, gave Wei Jinyi a leg massage, just as she’d been doing for the past two months.

After that time when Wei Jinyi enlightened her, Wei Ruo’s attitude towards Wei Jinyi returned to normal. She could face her desire for Wei Jinyi and help him with the massage without distraction.

After two months of recuperation, Wei Jinyi’s body had more or less recovered.

Just as Wei Ruo said, his wounds were healing excellently, and even the scars were very light.

Only his legs hadn’t started to walk due to the injury to his muscles and bones, which weren’t to be rushed, otherwise causing secondary damage would make subsequent recovery more troublesome.

During this period, daily massage could not stop to ensure that the muscles won’t severely atrophy before Wei Jinyi walks again.

One time, two times.

Wei Ruo is kneading Wei Jinyi’s legs.

Suddenly, Wei Ruo’s hand touched something sharply, and her eyes immediately widened.

Then she lifts her head and looks at Wei Jinyi.
