Chapter 352: Strange Chief Accountant
Jiang Changle was lucky, because the little Beike she rescued happened to be the grandson of the chief clerk in the yamen.
In the government administration of a place, not everyone is in the same boat and works in collusion.
Otherwise, if the ten cities and one county in the South China Sea had been torturing ordinary beastmen to death, this place would have become a deserted city long ago.
There are chief officials who follow the powerful forces in Kyoto and the nobles of the southern country in collusion with each other, and there are also some who are genuinely concerned about the people.
Unfortunately, their power was too weak, which made the situation uncontrollable and led to the destruction of the beast people.
Shui Zhubu is such a person. It’s not that he is a kind person who is wholeheartedly serving the people.
Rather, he is a very shrewd person who always firmly believes that crooked ways will not work and that good will prevail over evil in the end.
This is the truth that has been practiced by several generations of the Shui family. It has been established as a family rule and must be observed by everyone in the Shui family.
What’s more interesting is that even though the Shui family has few descendants, they still adhere to the system of monogamy.
Because it happened in a remote town, it was simply beyond the law. If Jiang Changle knew about it, she would probably be jealous to death.
Of course, this kind of thinking was in the past. Now that she has a harmonious relationship with her five beastly husbands, she has no intention of getting rid of the system of polyandry.
What's more, the Shui family's inheritance is the Shui family bloodline. No matter whether it is male or female, the only way to pass on the family's inheritance is to marry outsiders home. It's very interesting.
The Shui family's descendants were a little thin, but they were well educated.
For example, Xiao Beike is the only grandson of the Shui family. However, although he is a child of an official, he also plays with the poorest people.
The good thing is that little Beike has made a lot of friends, and the children were only frightened for a short time when they found out that little Beike was sick.
Didn't he get close to him later? In short, the Shui family is very popular and can get a lot of help and support from outsiders on a daily basis.
So, when the recovered little Beike returned home, the whole family was very excited.
However, no one noticed that the child had recovered at first. When Shui Zhubu saw his grandson coming back, his eyes couldn't help but mist up.
He probably doesn't have much time left to care for this child. Alas, if possible, he would rather exchange his own life for his grandson's health.
"Little Shell, are you back? Did you have fun today? Are you hungry? Grandpa bought you your favorite cake. Come and wash your hands and try it."
The Shui family's old house is quite spacious, but also very old. They had no money to repair it. Whenever Shui Zhubu had some spare money, he would help the citizens because his backers were also citizens. Otherwise, he might have stepped down long ago.
"Grandpa, I'm not hungry. I had some pastries outside." Little Beike was more energetic than ever.
"Really? What kind of cakes did you eat? You can't just take the food of the townspeople. Their lives are much harder than ours."
Shui Zhubu would educate people about this kind of thing whenever he got the chance. This was the way everyone in the Shui family was treated, and their family tradition was very positive.
"I ate cake, carrot candy, and bean candy. They were given to me by the fairy sister." Little Shell remembered these novel things very clearly.
But Shui Zhubu had never heard of it before. "What cake? Who is the fairy?"
Could it be that my grandson was deceived by someone? Could it be those high-caste people from the southern country?
Ugh! How shameless! They even spared no children. These beasts have gone too far. They've already threatened the beasts with enslavement, and now what else do they want?!
