Chapter 238 Charcoal Thief

Now there are two quilts made for each room in the house. The one in Shen Jun's room is given to Shan Mancheng. Only Wu and Shen Qingqian have a separate bed.

Shan Mancheng heard what she said, and after thinking about it, he didn't refuse, "Thank you very much, ma'am."

After saying this, Wu asked Shen Qingqian what her next plan was.

Shen Qingqian had already thought about it and said: "If it only snows, it won't affect the kiln firing. But under the current situation, we have to burn some more charcoal..."

There are more than a hundred people in their yard. Except for the troublemakers like the Wang family, everyone else has been working hard these days. They don't have cotton to make cotton clothes and quilts to keep warm, so they can only burn more charcoal.

"Okay, then I'll call people over tomorrow and arrange the time for each family to go to the kiln. It's snowing now, and the ones in the ground will be put away in advance. But we can't be idle. Starting tomorrow, we have to select the seeds we distributed earlier. One choice." Wu said thoughtfully.

The imperial court was very strict with the prisoners. Only a small amount of seeds would be distributed in the first year. They were not yet good seeds. After that, they would no longer care about them. Whether they could survive or not was up to them.

Wu will now ask the people in the opposite yard for advice whenever she has the opportunity. She is becoming more and more knowledgeable about farming and arranges these things in a very orderly manner.

Shen Qingqian was thinking about how to mix the seed in her hand, but she didn't notice Shan Mancheng peeking at her intentionally or unintentionally.

Just as they finished talking and were about to go to sleep, a scream sounded outside the Shen family yard.

"Ah! Let me go..."

"What's going on?!" Wu stood up in a panic.

Shen Xiao and Shen Jun had already rushed out.

Shen Qingqian's thoughts were also interrupted, she tightened her cloak and ran outside.

As soon as the straw curtain was opened, she met her eyes that she had not seen for a long time.

Cheng San is back.

Shengze stepped on the face of the person below him, raised his eyes and met Shen Qingqian's eyes. The corners of his lips unconsciously curled up, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Shen Xiao pointed at the person on the ground and asked in surprise, "Sandi Cheng, what are you doing?"

The person on the ground was beaten beyond recognition, and he couldn't tell who it was, but the scream of this person just now seemed familiar.

"Brother Shen, I caught a thief on the way back, right in the valley where you opened up wasteland. Can I leave it to you to ask?" Sheng Ze turned his eyes away from Shen Qingqian's face and looked at Shen Xiaodao.

He hurried back in a hurry. When he passed by the valley where Shen Qingqian and the others had opened up wasteland, he noticed that something seemed to be built there. He had an intuition that it was related to Shen Qingqian, so he stopped for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the moment he stopped, he saw a few black figures flipping something over there. He didn't even think about it at the time and went straight to arrest people.

Later, Ling Yun followed, and he handed the others over to Ling Yun, while he took the leader back to the Shen family's small courtyard.

"Little thief?" Shen Xiao was stunned for a moment. Before he could figure out what this man had stolen, the man on the ground started whimpering.

"Shen Gongci... I'm not calling you! I'm not fighting..."

Shen Xiao and others: "..." Sorry, I don't understand at all!

"Brother Cheng San, is this Wang Hao? Did you catch him stealing the charcoal we put beside the kiln?" Shen Qingqian guessed from the figure and voice of the person on the ground that this person should be Wang Hao.

At this point in time, the only thing they could steal outside the valley would be the charcoal they put outside the kiln.

When Wang Hao heard Shen Qingqian's words, he nodded and shook his head vigorously. His face was covered with tears and snot, but what he said was difficult to understand because he had knocked out several teeth.

Shengze clarified everyone's confusion, "It's Wang Hao, but he wasn't the only one who stole charcoal, there were also several people in his family. I asked Cheng Yun to tie them up. They should be there soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yun's voice sounded behind him.
