On the other side, Wang Wen returned to her seat and told Shen Mo about the news he had heard.
“Tong Shan Village? Are there any other villages nearby?” Shen Mo asked.
“According to my understanding, Tong Shan Village is the closest village to this town. There are four or five more villages to the north, and some of the others are even further away.”
Since there was news that someone would be sent down to investigate, Wang Wen had already figured out the situation in the vicinity these few days.
Shen Mo nodded. “Let’s find a good location first. When the people from above arrive, we’ll go to the countryside to check on the situation. If the disaster is serious and needs to be reported, well immediately request a lower-level policy. When the autumn harvest is over, we’ll deal with some pests directly.” “Yes.” Wang Wen replied.
Shen Mo and Wang Wen were both swift and decisive. As soldiers, they had to obey the orders of their superiors no matter what happened, so they needed to bring forward the investigation time to solve the problem as soon as possible. “Uncle Wang, what do you think of that family?” Shen Mo asked.
“They are very strange.” Wang Wen recalled his conversation with Jiang Xia and came to this conclusion.
Shen Mo was surprised by Wang Wen’s answer and turned to look at him.
Wang Wen deliberated over his words and replied, “That little girl said that she didn’t study for two years, but I do not think that is the case. Her parents don’t look like ordinary farmers either.”
Shen Mo silently agreed with Wang Wen’s words. When he passed by just now, he noticed that although this family was dressed in shabby clothes, they did not look timid. They were different from many people who came from the countryside.
“Maybe he went to stay in the countryside because his family was in trouble.” Shen Mo voiced his opinion.
“Yes.” Wang Wen replied and didn’t continue the topic.
While the two of them were talking, the waiter came with the dishes they had ordered. It was still the same little girl. She would glance at Shen Mo from time to time when she was serving the dishes.
It was not a surprise to see all the girls acting crazy when they heard Young Master Shen had returned. It was not like the modern days, here it was not easy to climb the ladder up the social rank.
At this time, if a girl wanted to live a better life, the easiest way was to marry. Not only was Young Master Shen’s family background good, but his personal conditions were also good. Moreover, it was rumored that the Shen family was also an influential family in the city.
It was normal for the Young Master of the Shen family to become the dream lover of many girls.
Just as Jiang Xia was thinking about this, a sudden scream broke her imagination.
Jiang Xia looked up and saw that the girl who was carrying the dishes was about to fall down, and the plate in her hand was also knocked in the direction of Shen Mo.
In a flash, Shen Mo stood up and quickly retreated with the plate in one hand, avoiding the girl.
Without anything in her hands, the girl took two unsteady steps forward but did not fall.
“S-Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. I tripped over something just now.” As the girl spoke, she looked at the place where she had almost fallen. There was a protruding wooden board there.
Shen Mo followed the girl’s gaze and said calmly, “It’s okay. Be careful next time.”
“Alright, alright.” The girl blushed as she spoke. She hurriedly ran back to the kitchen to get the other dishes.
Wang Wen looked in the direction the girl ran off and smiled. “Young Master has a lot of luck in love.”
Shen Mo frowned and did not answer, but Wang Wen continued happily.
“You rejected Miss Jiang’s invitation to your residence. Now, you’ve rejected another one. Young Master really doesn’t like women!”
Shen Mo glanced at him. “Uncle Wang, go back and ask my dad to help you look into the matchmaking.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Wen noticed the two soldiers sitting opposite him wanted to laugh but didn’t.
Just as Wang Wen was about to retort, the sound of tables and chairs moving could be heard at Jiang Xia’s table.
Although Jiang Xia was quietly watching the show, she did not delay her meal because there were still vegetables that had not been sold out. If they wanted to return to the village before dark, they had to hurry up.
“Dad, are we going to the street on the east side?” Jiang Gu asked Jiang Chuan expectantly.
Jiang Chuan didn’t know why his daughter was suddenly so excited, so he nodded.
“Xiao Gu, why are you so happy?” Jiang Xia asked in confusion..
