Chapter 253

The eyes of several ladies lit up, the county lady did not enter the oil and salt, but I didn't expect that the county lady was quite easy to speak, and they all donated generously, at least a few dozen taels of silver, at most a few hundred taels, and even a lady took out a thousand taels of silver.

This is really a big deal, Liu Jixiang took that money to buy a piece of land, and then built a lot of houses over there, most of which were a kind of chase shop, and then used the rest of the money to buy hundreds of acres of wasteland.

Of course, Liu Jixiang will not fill her pockets, she wrote down every money she spent, and when the house was built and the land was bought, she set up a monument, engraved the names of those donors on it, and then wrote out the monthly expenses and pasted them on the billboard.

After doing all this, she began to look for those homeless orphans, and some old beggars who were old and frail, of course Liu Jixiang would not let them eat rice, people must have labor, and only labor will be valuable, unless it is really old, Liu Jixiang. Let them do a little bit of work, such as weaving bamboo frames, or removing weeds from the ground.

Since the establishment of this welfare home, more and more people have been taken in, some are women abandoned by their husbands, some are homeless orphans, and more are abandoned little girls.

Liu Jixiang looked at those little girls and felt heartache for men, she couldn't understand why once she encountered danger, she would encounter bad things, the first to be unlucky was always the woman, it is said that women should be a vulnerable group and should be protected by others.

In order to take care of those abandoned babies, Liu Jixiang deliberately asked others to buy a few cows to come back, not a few sheep, so that they could herd sheep and raise cattle, and strive to produce and sell themselves.

The yield of the wasteland is not high, but after removing taxes and fees, they can barely eat and drink, Liu Jixiang gritted his teeth and hired a master to teach those homeless orphans to read and write.

Except for the elderly over 60 years old and children under the age of 18, if they do not leave the place once they reach this age, they must pay a sum of money every month to continue doing it, and if they refuse to pay, they must leave.

As for those abandoned women or homeless women, Liu Jixiang is also willing to arrange a job for them, let them take care of those little babies or children, as for the reward, that is, no one gives them food, and they are not idle, helping people to do some work or doing some manual work, and they can save a little money every day.

After everything was on the right track, Liu Jixiang was pregnant with the third child, this child was not the same as the first two children, very peaceful, so she did not have any adverse reactions, but adapted very well, should eat and drink, and then her belly got bigger.

"Mrs. Liu, why aren't you afraid of someone notifying us when you have a happy event?" The wives of the merchants came to visit Liu Jixiang after knowing that Liu Jixiang was pregnant, Liu Jixiang didn't want to entertain them, after all, although there was no reaction after being pregnant, but they wanted to sleep, but helplessly everyone came, and it was impossible to drive others away.

"It's just a little thing, how dare I trouble you!" Liu Jixiang smiled, "By the way, I haven't thanked you for the donation last time, and now it's almost done over there, if you have time, you can go and see, I copied the money you gave me and the purpose of the money, and posted it on the bulletin board is basically announced once a year, if there is any problem, you can come and ask me at that time!" ”

When those ladies heard this, they glanced at each other, they thought that Liu Jixiang was asking for money for another kind of bribe, but they didn't expect that this Mrs. Liu was really to take care of those homeless people, this Mrs. Liu was really a kind person.

"Mrs. Liu, you are really a kind-hearted person!" A lady complimented.

Liu Jixiang smiled, "It's just that I can do something, the money you gave me, in addition to some necessary expenses, I also bought hundreds of acres of wasteland, and then handed it over to those people to grow food, although they can't eat and drink, but it's enough to feed and drink!" ”

"That's great!" One lady nodded, "Don't let them eat the food they bring!" ”

Liu Jixiang couldn't help but yawn, and a trace of tiredness flashed on his face, "I'm really embarrassed to let you laugh, it's just that I'm pregnant with a child, and my body is a little tired!" ”

Hearing this, several ladies stood up and took their leave, but one of them did not leave, and the remaining ladies looked at her with a trace of doubt on their faces.

"Mrs. Liu, in fact, in addition to visiting you today, I have something I want to give you, I know that you are pregnant, your health is inconvenient, and you can't serve Lord Li, I have a distant cousin, she is beautiful, I have seen Lord Li before, and I agree to come over to serve you, I hope Mrs. Liu will not dislike you!" The lady pinched the handkerchief and said with a smile: "My cousin has no other meaning, after all, Mrs. Liu, you have two children, and now there is another one in your belly, the status is extremely stable, and no one can shake it, but it is impossible for a man to take a concubine, and my cousin does not ask for anything else, I just hope to be able to stay by Lord Li's side, serve Lord Li well, and hope that Mrs. Liu will be convenient!" ”

When Liu Jixiang heard this, if she hadn't taken care of the child in her belly, she couldn't wait to jump up immediately, pointing at this woman's nose and scolding loudly.

"Do I know you, this lady? To put it mildly, who are you? Why do you care about the affairs of our family, what does it matter to you whether my husband is spicy or not, does your family live by the Long River? Otherwise, the tube is so wide, isn't it that someone's dung truck passes in front of your house, and you have to stop it and hide two mouthfuls of salt? Liu Jixiang knows that his speech is ugly, but what can he do, this woman speaks even more ugly, she has a good life, but this woman wants to stuff a woman into her husband, what is the reason for this?

The lady was so angry when she heard this, her face flushed, "Mrs. Liu, I am also good for you, you and your father have been married for several years, but no one has been serving you here, that's not good, you are jealous of doing this, and I don't ask for anything else when I am my cousin, I just want to serve you and Lord Li!" ”

"No, if you want to serve, there are people in my family who don't need your family to serve, if you want to enter the door of our house, you can, you have to sign a deed of sale, but after signing the deed of sale, your cousin is no longer your cousin, only a descendant of my family, can you be willing?" Liu Jixiang said with a sneer.
