The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

461  Final Chapter

During lunch, Big Girl Li and the others talked about their days in Brook Falls Village.

Memories flooded back into Qin Xiaoyao's mind.

This caused Qin Xiaoyao to glance at Song Que from time to time.

When she had just transmigrated to this world, the conditions were indeed a little difficult.

She was fat and in order to please her sweetheart, she had to work like an ox all day long.

Fortunately, her hard work was not in vain.

Her efforts warmed up her husband's heart of stone bit by bit.

Song Que and Qin Xiaoyao looked at each other. Song Que also couldn't help recalling those days when his wife had just transmigrated and the time they spent together in Brook Falls Village.

Immediately after that, he couldn't resist reaching out to grab his wife's hand under the table.

Fortunately, he didn't do anything stupid back then.

Otherwise, he would have missed the happiness in this life.

After the meal, the couple personally saw the guests off.

On the way back, they discussed and agreed that they would return to Brook Falls Village in a few days to take a look.

It was said that many of the villagers who fled Brook Falls Village back then had returned.

There were also some refugees who had registered with the government and moved into Brook Falls Village.

Therefore, the current Brook Falls Village was not abandoned.

Another two days passed.

Finally, no more guests came to the Marquis's residence.

Qin Xiaoyao had gotten people to prepare gifts in advance and was finally ready to bring Song Que back to her maiden home.

Incidentally, the Qin family had already moved to a new house.

They moved from the street next to the illegal construction area to a courtyard house on Yong An Lane.

The courtyard house was not far from the courtyard dwelling where the Song family used to live.

Qin Xiaoyao was the one who arranged for the Qin family to move house.

Previously, she wanted the Qin family to move into Marquis's residence. However, Qin Dahu rejected her offer outright.

Thus, Qin Xiaoyao gave Qin Dahu 2000 taels of silver and told him to bring it back to Qin Dazhuang so that he could arrange to buy a house.

After Qin Dazhuang received the silver notes, he did not buy an expensive house. Instead, he bought a courtyard house on Yong An Lane.

He wanted to stay closer to his daughter's place.

After Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que returned to Mountain Spring Town, they had been wanting to visit Qin Xiaoyao could only get Qin Dahu to send a message to the Qin family, saying that she would 10:35

return to her maiden home in a few days.

Qin Dazhuang, but they were delayed by the endless stream of visitors.

Qin Xiaoyao could only get Qin Dahu to send a message to the Qin family, saying that she would return to her maiden home in a few days.

Incidentally, ever since Qin Dahu escorted Madam Liu and the rest back, he had been working in the Marquis's residence.

Not only did he hold a military position, but he was also the head of the guards in the Marquis's residence.

It was precisely because he had received Qin Dahu's message and Qin Dahu had said that there were many guests at the Marquis's residence presently that Qin Dazhuang had resisted the urge to visit his daughter. He had been waiting at home all this while for his daughter and son-in-law to visit.

Furthermore, Qin Dazhuang was no longer a butcher.

Qin Xiaoyao had asked Wang Xiaomei to open a porridge shop for the Qin family and let them run it themselves.

Now, Qin Dazhuang, Qin Erhu, and the two daughters-in-law of the Qin family were all helping out in the porridge shop.

The family relied on the porridge shop business and lived a fairly prosperous life.

Early the next morning, Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que brought generous gifts and went to the Qin family's new courtyard accompanied by Qin Dahu.

Qin Dazhuang brought his whole family out to welcome the couple personally.

After they met, the father held his daughter's hand, his eyes filled with tears.

Thousands of words had accumulated in his heart, but he couldn't say anything for a long time.

Qin Xiaoyao was the first to speak and she told her father to go into the house to chat.

Only then did the group stop standing in the courtyard.

Qin Dazhuang finally spoke when they reached the hall.

He asked Qin Xiaoyao what happened after she left Mountain Spring Town, as well as her current situation.

Actually, he had already learned many things from his eldest son.

However, he still couldn't resist asking his daughter personally.

Qin Xiaoyao told him everything truthfully.

She told him everything that had happened to her and Song Que during this period of time.

Qin Dazhuang and the others were dumbfounded as they listened. In the end, he sighed.

"It's good to stay in Mountain Spring Town. Leading a peaceful life is better than anything else," Qin Dazhuang said with a sigh.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded in concurrence.

"That's true. My husband and I have already resigned from our official positions. This time, we have come back to settle down for good," she said.

Qin Dazhuang nodded repeatedly.

Then, he talked about what happened to the Qin and Song families after his daughter left.

Qin Xiaoyao listened patiently and praised her father from time to time, making Qin Dazhuang very happy.

The couple stayed in the Qin family's house for the whole day.

In the evening, they had dinner at the Qin family's house before leaving.

On the way back, the couple did not take the horse carriage but walked.

They walked on the familiar streets, looking at the familiar sights.

As they recalled what happened on these streets in the past, the couple had different feelings in their hearts.

A faint sense of happiness enveloped their hearts.

Another half a month passed.

The couple finally had enough rest and began to get down to business.

What business? It was, of course, pushing through reforms in Xiaoyao County and Anding County.

These two counties had already become their fiefdoms. As they were the overall people in charge in those counties, they naturally had to work for the well-being of the people in their fiefdoms.

Qin Xiaoyao's idea was to at least think of a way to let the people of the two counties have water to use when they encountered a drought, so as to prevent incidents where the people had to flee from famine again. This would cause the population of the fiefdom to dwindle.

At the same time, it would be even better if they could enable the people of the two counties to eat their fill and have clothes to keep them warm so that everyone could be happy.

After all, if the people under their rule became rich, they would also become rich in turn.

This was particularly critical for Anding County as the title of Marquis Anding was inheritable in eternity in the Song family.

This meant that as long as the Song family did not commit any major crimes and the Great Jin State was not destroyed, Anding County would always be the Song family's fiefdom.

Therefore, it was necessary to develop Anding County into a wealthy county.

When the couple was discussing how to develop the economy of the two counties, Qin Xiaoyao suddenly had some complaints.

In the long run, they definitely had to prioritize developing Anding County.

However, they were living in Mountain Spring Town in Xiaoyao County. It seemed like they were planning for some faraway land instead of planning for their own hometown.

Thus, Qin Xiaoyao simply submitted a petition to Emperor Xuan, expressing her hope that Emperor Xuan would also give Xiaoyao County to Song Que.

And that it would be passed down to the Song family in the future.

After Emperor Xuan received the petition, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Only Marquis Xiaoyao, and no one else, would dare to make such a direct request to the Emperor.

However, it was only because the petition came from Marquis Xiaoyao that he approved the request.

That was right. Emperor Xuan approved Qin Xiaoyao's request.

Thus, the couple quickly came up with a plan and started working quickly.

Over the next few years, Xiaoyao County and Anding County commenced work on dredging the canals, digging ditches, building water tanks, and storing water.

At the same time, the Marquis's residence paid to dig wells in every village. The number of public wells in the town was also increased.

In addition, Mountain Spring Town had become the home of century eggs.

Under the management of the Liu siblings, Princess Xiangyang, and Wang Xiaomei, Qin Xiaoyao's century egg business spread all over the kingdom.

Mountain Spring Town became Qin Xiaoyao's base for producing century eggs.

Every day, fresh eggs were sent to Mountain Spring Town, and century eggs were shipped out in an endless stream.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed.

This year, Liu Ling and Xiangyang finally got married.

One day, Qin Xiaoyao was about to submit a memorial as she planned to go to the border when she suddenly felt a wave of nausea.

She didn't think much of it at that point, but Song Que got the servant to summon Doctor Li over.

Finally, Marquis's residence welcomed the joyous news that everyone had been looking forward to.

That was right. Qin Xiaoyao was finally pregnant.

That night, Song Que stroked Qin Xiaoyao's flat belly and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

In another eight months, the baby he and his wife conceived would be born.

Such a life was really good.
