Wei Ruo took Xiumei and went to the nanny’s place. The nanny had already helped Wei Ruo purchase a batch of wheat seeds, which were now stored in the warehouse where the sweet potatoes were previously kept.

In recent days, due to the large amount of sweet potatoes being transported out, the warehouse had a lot of space available.

Wei Ruo had Xiumei stand guard at the door while she lingered in the warehouse for quite some time before coming out.

“Meimei, take Agui and Xiaoba to bring these few bags of rice seeds to the south of the city. Distribute a little to each family and be sure to remind them that these rice seeds are of good quality. This amount may not be enough to plant all their rice fields, so for the rest, they should use the regular seeds from that area to make up for it.” Wei Ruo instructed.

For the time being, this was all the ‘space’ rice seeds Wei Ruo could get her hands on. She was afraid that if she waited any longer, the patience of the people in the south of the city would run out.

Wei Ruo also fully understood their anxious feelings. If they missed this year’s planting season, it would mean they wouldn’t have any food supply for the next year.

“Alright,” Xiumei acknowledged Wei Ruo’s orders and instructed Agui and Xiaoba to help load the rice seeds onto the cart.

Both Agui and Xiaoba appeared somewhat reluctant, especially Agui, who was slightly older. After moving for a while, he stopped, feeling angry and said, “Miss Xiumei, our young lady has been working so hard for the south of the city, but in the end, there’s no reward or recognition for her contributions. It’s really infuriating.”

It turned out that both Agui and Xiaoba had already learned about the court’s reward system for the land reclamation in the south of the city. They had followed Wei Ruo for some time, earned wages, gained appreciation, and received many benefits.

Seeing Wei Ruo being wronged, they naturally couldn’t stand it.

Xiumei sighed and said, “One thing doesn’t negate the other. When the young lady started the land reclamation, it wasn’t for recognition, but to ensure that more of the suffering people could have enough to eat. Even if someone treats the young lady unfairly, we can’t let the innocent people of the south of the city suffer, right?”

Agui and Xiaoba exchanged glances. They were persuaded.

Xiumei continued, “Don’t worry too much. The young lady will be very happy to know that you care about her so much. Others may not understand her and may even laugh at her for making an effort in vain, but as her people, we should understand and support her.”

Agui said, “I understand now. Xiaoba and I will work hard to help the young lady.”

The two of them no longer had any complaints and loaded the rice seeds onto the cart.

The ox cart carrying the rice seeds followed Wei Ruo’s carriage as they exited the south part of the city gate.

Outside the city gate, County Head Magistrate Qian was present. When he saw Wei Ruo, he was both surprised and a little embarrassed.

After hesitating for a moment, County Head Magistrate Qian approached Wei Ruo’s carriage with his men. Standing outside the curtain of the carriage, he said to Wei Ruo, “Miss Wei, are you here to deliver rice seeds to the people of the southern city?”

Wei Ruo responded, “Not to deliver, but to sell.”

It was originally intended to be a delivery, but seeing County Head Magistrate Qian asking, it became a sale.

“This…” County Head Magistrate Qian’s smile stiffened.

“I’ve heard that Lord Qian received quite a reward this time, and also that with next year’s harvest, you’re likely to be promoted.” Wei Ruo said calmly, sitting inside the carriage, speaking slowly through the curtain.

“Thanks to Miss Wei’s fortune.” County Head Magistrate Qian was fully aware that if it weren’t for the efforts of the Wei family’s eldest daughter, his promotion wouldn’t have come so quickly.

“In that case, why not do one more good deed for the people of Xingshan County? Lord Qian, you could buy these grain seeds and give them to the people reclaiming the land in the south part of the city. What do you think?”
