Mrs. Yun froze, and then an image of her husband and some of his words about their eldest daughter’s education popped up in her mind.
Wei Jinyi continued to say, “When older sister wanted to reclaim the wasteland south of the city, mother also thought her behavior was unreasonable, not something a young lady should do. However, it has now been proven that there is nothing wrong with big sister’s actions.”
“If mother still thinks it’s not appropriate, I’ll have Guard Jing consult father.
But, this will certainly take some time and delay the rescue work.
“If what eldest sister chooses today influences her negatively in the future, I
am willing to take full responsibility.”
This was the first time Wei Jinyi had said so much to Mrs. Yun.
After listening to Wei Jinyi’s statement, Mrs. Yun’s frown deepened. After a long while, she said to Wei Ruo, “I can’t control you anymore, do what you want. Any consequences will be on your head.”
With that, Mrs. Yun left.
Wei Ruo turned to exchange a glance with Wei Jinyi.
Wei Jinyi added, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”
Wei Ruo shook her head, “I’m not worried. I’m just happy that you stood by me instead of lecturing me.”
Wei Jinyi responded, “I don’t think you’ve done anything wrong, so why should
I reprimand you?”
Wei Ruo couldn’t help but laugh, “Hehe, big brother, I find myself liking you
more and more.”
At her words, Wei Jinyi’s cheeks turned faintly red and he turned his head aside, saying in a low voice, “We should go back to the government office.” “Hmm,” Wei Ruo responded, and then, along with Wei Jinyi, set off for the government office again.
When they returned to the government office warehouse, Xiumei had already arrived with the wet nurses, bringing with them two full carts of supplies.
“Miss, there aren’t many quilts. We didn’t anticipate this situation so we didn’t stock up. We can only prioritize giving them to the elderly, children, and women.” Xiumei explained to Wei Ruo.
Previously, Wei Ruo had only ordered them to stock up on food and coal and hadn’t specifically instructed them to stock up on quilts and cotton.
“Hmm, has the rice, sweet potatoes and charcoal arrived?” Wei Ruo asked.
“The charcoal was transported over, and some rice and sweet potatoes were brought too. We also cooked a large pot of porridge and baked a batch of sweet potatoes. I brought some of the cooked ones over. Some are still being baked, and once done, Uncle Xu will bring them over.”
The sweet potatoes were baked in batches because they didn’t want the first batch to cool down, and they didn’t want the people here to wait too long, so Xiumei brought a portion over first.
“Let’s go, let’s distribute these to everyone.”
Wei Ruo personally helped to serve the porridge and distribute the sweet potatoes.
Wei Jinyi and Xiaobei also helped distribute the quilts.
There weren’t enough people in the government office now, so they did what they could.
Everyone received a bowl of hot white porridge and a sweet potato. The crowd ate with tears in their eyes.
An old man fell to his knees and bowed in gratitude to Wei Ruo and the others,
“Miss Wei, we can’t repay you for your immense kindness!
Other voices joined amidst the choruses,
“Miss Wei, you’re truly our savior! Our whole family owes you our lives.”
