This Life, I'm Raising the Right Man

Su Yaoguang was furious.

If Jiang Yihui were here, she’d definitely fling him into a manure pit.

The crowd outside dispersed, and the night returned to its silence.

Zhou Wangshu pulled her to lie beside him, yawning as he said, "Get some sleep! That was ages ago, I’ve forgotten all about it."

"You really don’t hold grudges," Su Yaoguang lay beside him, speaking with concern, "It’s because you’re so honest that those shameless people bullied you like that."

This interruption completely dissipated the eerie atmosphere from earlier, and Su Yaoguang wasn’t as scared anymore.

Zhou Wangshu listened to the steady breathing from behind, knowing she had fallen asleep. He turned over, using the dim light to gaze at the girl in front of him.

She was remarkably vibrant.

To him, the world was gray, and she was the splash of color among the gray.

"Always helping this one and saving that one, acting like a Living Bodhisattva, aren’t you afraid there’ll be a backstabber among those you’ve saved?" Zhou Wangshu pinched Su Yaoguang’s cheek.

So tender, perfect for pinching.

No wonder she likes to pinch his face.

Indeed, pinching like this is quite soothing.

Zhou Wangshu didn’t know how he fell asleep. When he woke up again, he held a very cuddly human-shaped pillow in his arms.

She snuggled into his embrace, her lips close to his neck, her breath tickling his neck.

Zhou Wangshu froze.

He wanted to move, but realized the person in his arms was waking up. He quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, waiting to see her reaction.

Su Yaoguang opened her eyes to see a handsome little face.

Those eyelashes were long and curly, not the type for a man.

However, his looks were inherently delicate. Otherwise, when he posed as a girl, he wouldn’t have turned so many heads.

"Such smooth, tender skin, such lovely lips... why on earth is he a boy? If he were a girl, I’d hug him to sleep every night." Su Yaoguang murmured this as she slowly got up.

Zhou Wangshu: "..."

That’s it?

No embarrassment, no panic, no special reaction, just as naturally as if she woke up from a nap with Jiang Jing.

Su Yaoguang got up, fetched water to wash up. Once she left, Zhou Wangshu sat up angrily.

"What do you mean by ’a boy’? What’s wrong with boys? No wonder she’s usually so good to Jiang Jing and Jia Chunni, she must prefer girls over boys." Zhou Wangshu fumed.

When Su Yaoguang stepped out, she saw Jiang Yihuan carrying water into the room opposite. At this moment, Wen Family also appeared with water. The two met at the door, glaring at each other.

Su Yaoguang: "..."

Jiang Yihuan really knows how to adapt!

Is this because she feels a sense of crisis?

After fetching water and washing up, seeing Zhou Wangshu still asleep, Su Yaoguang wrote a note on the table and left.

Zhou Wangshu awoke again to find the note on the table, saw the medicine warming on the stove for him, and drank it first. As for breakfast, Su Yaoguang said she would bring it back for him, so he waited.

He sniffed his clothes.

Unsure if it was his imagination, he felt he had a fragrance today.

She had lain in his arms all night, and now even his body carried the scent of rouge.

Last night, there was an incident where refugees broke into civilian homes and committed crimes, causing today’s city atmosphere to change significantly. The local people were noticeably hostile towards the refugees, driving them away, even hitting and kicking them, venting their anger on the refugees. However, most of these refugees were elderly, weak, women, and children, and didn’t dare fight back other than begging to keep a roof over their heads.

The refugees worried that if they fought back, the government would expel them completely, leaving them without the life-saving porridge provided in the city.

"Miss Su, Lord County Magistrate wishes to see you."

Su Yaoguang had just bought buns, intending to bring them back to Zhou Wangshu, when she was stopped by people from the government office.

At this time, looking for her, it should be about last night’s murder. But isn’t the County Magistrate overestimating her ability?

When Su Yaoguang arrived at the county government, she found that in addition to herself, there were other shopkeepers present.

As she took a seat, she noticed a wealthy-looking young man glaring at her from across.

She was baffled.

Who is this? She didn’t know him.

"He is the Young Master of Jinle Square," the young man beside her said with a smile, "Now the business in Jinle Square isn’t doing well, and his family sent him to manage it, but business hasn’t picked up, and most of the customers were snatched away by your Taoyao Square, leaving him unable to hold his head up in the family."

Su Yaoguang looked at the young man beside her: "You look a bit familiar, how should I address you?"

"I am the owner of Jiang’s Restaurant. Last time, Mr. Su drank at our place, and seeing you struggling with a young boy, I sent a carriage for you," Jiang Ziqian said with a smile.

"Oh, it’s you, I remember now." Su Yaoguang found him amiable, and since he had helped her before, she felt favorable towards him. "What did the County Magistrate call us here for?"

"It should be about the refugees! The court has been slow to send people to settle them, and now the conflict between refugees and local residents is intensifying. If a solution isn’t found, things will become increasingly troublesome."

"I proposed a solution to the County Magistrate yesterday, but after last night’s incident, I’m afraid it won’t work."

"What solution?"

"I suggested the County Magistrate house the refugees in the villages, using the unclaimed houses there to shelter them. But after last night’s murder, the villagers will surely drive the refugees away, causing endless trouble everywhere."

The County Magistrate appeared. He nodded toward Su Yaoguang as a greeting.

"Everyone, I’m bothering you to come here today because I need your help," County Magistrate Chen said. "Yesterday’s incident you must have heard about. Those few homeless refugees were severely ill, knowing they had only a few days left, they decided to drag a few along in death, and that orphaned mother and child became their target for venting their anger. Our people searched all night, and when we found them, they had already slit their throats in suicide. Their deaths gave them relief, but they closed off the retreat for other refugees. Originally today, we were going to house the refugees in villages, but now the local residents will definitely not agree."

"I’ve thought about it over and over, and the only way is to gather strength from all families and ask each of you businessmen to extend a helping hand. As you know, the situation in our city is much better than elsewhere, because we have medical prescriptions that heal, and also the food provided by Mr. Su from Taoyao Square. However, there are too many refugees, and the power of Taoyao Square alone is not enough; this time, we need everyone to get through this crisis together."
