Chapter 1002 Beautiful people and kind hearts
Mr. Qiu gave a bitter smile.
"Sir Yin, please don't be ridiculous. I know my own abilities. I can manage some household affairs and settle accounts, but I have no chance of winning against such a strange and talented person."
Since there is no chance of winning and he has already seen what happened to the third and fourth brothers, how could he dare to go?
If he went there and came back to dance barefoot, twisting his waist and winking at everyone in the house, he would lose the face he had maintained for decades.
"However, I just had a somewhat abrupt thought. I wonder if Miss Lu will go to meet this Hua Mudan."
What they didn't expect was that the question would soon have an answer.
When they arrived outside Subei City, they saw from afar a long line of people standing on an open space outside the city gate.
There were also some officers on the sidelines maintaining order.
"Go and see what's going on."
Mr. Qiu immediately sent someone to go and check it out.
The servant returned soon.
"Second Master, it's that Madam Hua!"
The servant's voice was quite loud, and Lu Zhaoling and his companions' carriage had stopped temporarily, so they also heard it.
Lu Zhaoling leaned out.
"That Madam Hua is leading people to distribute porridge and cotton clothes!"
Give out porridge and cotton clothes?
Zhou Shiyue's first reaction was to frown and look over there, "Are you saying that those people lining up for so long are all disaster victims?"
That’s really not a good thing!
They didn’t see so many victims when they went to the camp. Where did these people come from?
"Yes." The Qiu family servant quickly replied. "I have asked around, and some of those disaster victims came from other places, and some are poor people in Subei City."
"Many people in the city have already run out of rice and food, and their homes are thin with cotton-padded clothes. Now that they hear that someone is giving away porridge and cotton-padded jackets, they naturally go out of the city to get them."
"I just heard a few disaster victims whispering that the news of Madam Hua's donation spread half a month ago, and they rushed here after hearing the news from their relatives in the city."
So even though I didn’t see it before, it arrived at this moment.
In fact, even if the family is already struggling to make ends meet and is not about to starve to death or freeze to death, ordinary people will still come to get it when they hear someone is sending them porridge or cotton-padded jackets.
Don’t give it up for free.
When it comes to food and clothing, which poor person would complain about not having enough?
"Miss Lu," Mr. Qiu got off the carriage and walked over, looking at Lu Zhaoling, "It seems that Madam Hua calculated the time for the wind and snow to stop, and waited for this time to do this."
If he had not discovered what happened to the third and fourth brothers, he would have appreciated Mrs. Hua's behavior.
Do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and you will be a beautiful person with a kind heart.
Moreover, Madam Hua has already lost her husband. Even if she has a lot of wealth, it will be very difficult for a woman to live in this world in the future. It is proper to save more money to support herself. But she is willing to spend such a big sum of money. It would be fine if she just gave out porridge, but she also gave out cotton-padded jackets?
"The porridge is easy, just find a few more people to cook it. But the cotton-padded jackets are much more troublesome. She must prepare them early. Otherwise, if she only brings a few pieces to the disaster victims, she will be scolded."
To deliver, there must be at least a hundred pieces.
"Let's go and take a look." Lu Zhaoling jumped off the carriage, and Qingyin and Qingbao quickly followed.
Zhou Shiyue was about to come down, but Lu Zhaoling pushed him back.
"Don't go over there. Stay in the carriage and don't show up."
She knew that this Madam Hua’s cultivation level might be quite high.
What if she could also see that Zhou Shiyue had considerable luck and merits?
Although she might not be unable to defeat the other party, she did not want to find a woman who coveted her man to fight.
Avoid it if you can.
"Okay." Zhou Shiyue seemed very obedient. "Then I will hide in the carriage and not let other women take a peek. Aling, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who attracts bees and butterflies."
After saying that, he smiled at Lu Zhaoling with infinite grace, then sat back and lowered the car curtain.
Mr. Qiu: "......"
His understanding of King Jin was indeed very superficial.
Lu Zhaoling also felt a little bit upset. She shuddered and rubbed her shoulders.
Qingyin and Qingbao pursed their lips and held back their laughter.
They were still a little curious about Hua Mudan.
It is said that it is extremely beautiful?
What kind of woman is worthy of a name like Peony?
"Princess, I will follow you." Aoki also followed.
Yin Yunting and Lu Song also got off the carriage.
With so many of them walking past, they were quite conspicuous.
But Lu Zhaoling was not afraid, because she had always wanted to meet Madam Hua.
"Erhei Ye," she turned to Qiu Er Ye, "There are so many of us. Why don't you not go over there and hide in the carriage as well."
After a pause, she added, "After all, Madam Hua has already asked you out. If she asks you out again in front of so many disaster victims, will you agree or not?"
Mr. Qiu was not afraid that Madam Hua would ask him out in front of so many people. He was just afraid that Miss Lu would be distracted and not pay attention, and he would fall into Madam Hua's trap and start dancing in front of so many victims and officials.
Of course, he should have believed in Miss Lu's ability, but it was really the two unpromising guys in the family that left him with a huge psychological shadow.
He nodded quickly, "Yes, I will follow Miss Lu's arrangements."
After saying this, he quickly got on the carriage.
Lu Zhaoling took his two fellow apprentices and Sanmu and walked over there.
"Junior Brother Lu, please keep an eye on Madam Hua for a while." Lu Zhaoling said to Lu Song.
When Lu Song heard this, he knew that this must be another assessment.
But now when he faced the test, although he was still nervous, he was also a little excited inside. After all, it was the senior sister and senior brother who wanted to teach him!
"Yes, senior sister."
Lu Song immediately perked up his spirits.
As they got closer, they saw the people in the queue standing on tiptoe and looking forward. Everyone was excited and nervous.
They are of course excited when someone gives them gifts, but when they see so many people queuing up, they worry that by the time it’s their turn, they will have run out of cotton-padded jackets.
"We came here early to wait. It was snowing this morning. We thought that Madam Hua would not come, but who knew that the snow has really stopped now!"
"This Madam Hua is really amazing. How did she know that the snowstorm would stop at this time?"
"Is it possible that she could ask God to stop the snowstorm and stop freezing poor people like us?"
"I don't think it's impossible. Didn't they say that some Taoist priests could pray for rain? If they can pray for rain, they can certainly pray for no snow."
Lu Zhaoling and the others listened to these words and walked forward.
At this time, Lu Song was the first to see the woman in front.
