Chapter 70: The Donation Storm

At this time, Zhao Yi didn't know that his father was killing because of his disappearance, and he was standing in front of Xie Yunshu's door, staring at the other party.

The rabbit-shaped pillow in his hand was tightened by him, and then carefully placed it on the other party's bed in the other party's silent eyes.

"I...... Can I sleep here?"

Cautiously, the child's eyes were too clear, and the color of apprehension was about to overflow.

Seeing his appearance, Xie Yunshu's refusal was swallowed back.

He waved his hand helplessly, acquiescing to this matter.

Zhao Yixi, who received an affirmative answer, smiled, climbed into bed quickly, and slept inside.

According to Ye Hao's distribution, it is one room for each person, and Zhao Yi is naturally included.

But she completely ignored that the other party was still a five-year-old child, how could he dare to sleep alone in an empty room?

Zhao Yi knew that Xie Yunshu was unwilling to let himself sleep with Ye Hao, and he didn't dare to sleep with Lin Bin.

It was still the master who taught him every day that would make him feel more at ease, so he groped and ran to the other party's room.

Ye Hao didn't know what was happening here, she was lying on the marriage bed she was familiar with, thinking about the next calculation.

The night passed silently.

In a blink of an eye, the next day, Ye Hao was going to go to the county seat with Lin Bin to purchase today.

Without him, he has used up the ingredients at home yesterday, and if he doesn't add some, the house will almost be unable to open the pot.

When she went to buy rice and vegetables in person, she found that the impact of the insect plague was so big that the price had directly increased by half.

Although Ye Hao is not short of money, she can't help but feel a little distressed when she sees the price rise so much.

The things they bought were piled up on the carriage and quickly filled, so Ye Hao asked the other party to send them back first and walk around the street by herself.

In fact, there is not much to visit, due to the impact of the insect infestation, there are many fewer vendors on the streets.

Even the wonton stand she had eaten before had disappeared.

Walking with a sigh, Ye Hao unconsciously walked to the gate of Xicheng and found that there were more and more people around her.

But these people are all ragged, yellow-skinned, and look like victims who have been forced to live by the insect plague.

It stands to reason that these victims were not allowed to enter the city by prefectural order, so how could they gather here?

With curiosity, Ye Hao quickened her pace and walked towards the crowded place.

Although she is not dressed in gold and silver, she is also neat and clean, so she is particularly conspicuous among a group of disaster victims.

At the west gate of the city, two simple grass huts were set up near the city gate where the most victims were affected.

There were several burlap bags stacked in the hut, and some people were boiling porridge that was not thick in front of the burlap bags, as well as big steamed buns with white flowers.

Although those victims couldn't wait to come forward to grab food, they obediently lined up under the warning of several strong men.

Ye Hao, who shuttled from the crowd, was a little surprised when she saw such a scene.

And a few people in the charity saw her, and they were equally shocked.

This is the place with the most victims, and the average city resident will not come close, and everyone is afraid of bad luck.

The sudden appearance of a beautiful woman in the midst of the chaos of the victims would surprise anyone.

Before everyone could come back to their senses, Ye Hao asked a few people:

"Are you giving alms here?"

Hearing her question, the few people who were distributing porridge and steamed buns stopped their movements and looked at her with strange eyes.

"Yes, of course."

They couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, could it be that this woman was also a disaster victim? But it doesn't look like it.

Ye Hao didn't know what they were thinking, she glanced back at the crowd, thinking in her heart.

Thanks to Fu Ru'an

, I still have a large amount of silver in my hand, and there is no shortage of money to spend at the moment.

Even if she was going to open a shop to sell wooden ploughs, it wouldn't cost much, after all, the location of the barbarian county was remote, and even if she bought a shop with a lot of money, she wouldn't need one-tenth of her savings.

In addition, now that there is cooperation with Mochizuki Tower, there is no need to mention dividends, just selling seasonings is an income of three hundred taels a month!

Pursing her lips, Ye Hao came back to her senses and looked at the few people who were staring at her:

"I don't know, can I donate some food or money to help you give alms?"

This move is not only for herself to gain merit points, but also out of her heart.

Even in her previous life, she had donated several times, and it was the same here.

There are so many victims piled up at the gate of the city in front of me, and I don't know how many are crowded out of the city!

She thought that she would be able to avoid most of the losses by telling the method of remediating the insect plague, but she didn't expect the reality to be so cruel.

These sincere and sincere words made the people around them even more surprised, and they opened their mouths wide for a while.

Fortunately, he was still a little quick to react, and subconsciously asked:

"Madame, how much are you going to donate?"

The few of them who are busy working here are basically the servants of several big families in the county, and they can be regarded as having seen the big scene.

This time, several wealthy merchants in the city joined together to give alms, some for fame, some out of pure kindness.

But no matter what, they did it, and that's enough.

Others are either just taking care of their own families, or they are a little selfish and unwilling to give money or food to help the victims.

Like Ye Hao, she ran to the scene in person and threatened to donate to the person who really hadn't seen it.

What's more, although she has excellent looks and polite manners, just looking at her dress as if she is not a rich family, these domestic servants will have suspicions.

The other party's question made Ye Hao frown, and after thinking for a while, she stretched out a finger.

"One hundred taels!"

This is the number she came up with after weighing the pros and cons, although she still has nearly a thousand taels of silver in her hand, but as she said to Xie Yunshu last night, if you want to make a comeback and avenge yourself, you must accumulate capital.

One hundred taels is not a small amount, even if the current food price rises, you can also buy hundreds of catties of rice and noodles.

Her words made everyone's jaws drop in shock, and they looked at her quite suspiciously, their eyes full of distrust.

Greeted by the suspicious gaze, Ye Hao was a little dazed, and asked tentatively:

"Is it too little? If it's too little, I can add more."

She thought that the other party was disgusted that she had made too few shots, so she pondered it carefully, thinking that she should not add another hundred taels.

There is a system on the left and right, and there is no shortage of ways to make money.

However, her words made several servants look at each other, and they couldn't believe that the woman in front of them was actually a hundred taels of silver.

You know, the lord of each of them didn't pay a hundred taels of silver.

"Don't talk about it, you woman!"

A gloomy man suddenly spoke, not one of the busy servants, but sitting leisurely behind them overseeing the work.

This man is considered to be the highest among these domestic servants, and belongs to the small leader.

But this matter is his wishful thinking, after all, everyone belongs to different mansions, and there is no situation where anyone serves whom.

The servants only do what the master tells them, and they don't care about anything else.

This man is thin and tall, and he looks quite young, but there is always a calculating look between his eyebrows.

As soon as he spoke, a companion immediately responded:

"That's it! I'm afraid you're not here to make trouble, are you?"

Between the words, there is a tone that flatters the previous person.

Others didn't help, and most of them were optimistic

The mind of the play, watching the development of things.

I was kind enough to donate, why was I still beaten upside down?

Ye Hao was extremely puzzled in her heart, and she was a little unhappy, and her face immediately pulled down.

"I have good intentions to donate food and do something for the victims, but you have such malicious judgments against me. Oh, it's a big deal not to donate!"

There was anger in her heart, and her tone naturally carried emotion, and she wanted to leave when she shook her hand.

Don't pull these people down, she has money herself, and it's not that she can't ask someone to give alms? These people take themselves so seriously!

As soon as she turned around, the man's voice came from behind her.

"You woman is here to make trouble! As soon as we saw that it was being debunked, I immediately wanted to slip away!"

The man had a sarcastic smile on his face, and his eyes were full of disdain and contempt.

He was the steward of the cloth merchant in the city, and he had recently been assigned here because of his ineffective handling of things, and he was doing all this tiring work.

But everyone else was a lowly servant, so he took up the shelf and deliberately turned himself into an overseer.

His boss is not a kind-hearted person, and he is willing to give together just to have a good reputation.

After all, there were two or three cloth merchants in the city, and if he wanted to compete with the others, he had to work hard.

When a man finds out the mind of his boss, he will deliberately provoke Ye Hao, show the kindness of his people and buy people's hearts.

What's more, he saw that Ye Zhen was dressed ordinary, and he was sure that the other party would not be able to come up with the money at all, but just to deliberately gain a reputation.

was slandered, Ye Hao became even more angry, but she didn't bother to argue with this kind of person.

It's just that she didn't want to explain, and the eyes of the victims around her changed, as if they really believed the man's words.

Originally, when they heard that Ye Hao was willing to give out a hundred taels of alms, the surrounding victims were full of gratitude, but now that they saw that the other party seemed to be here to make trouble, they immediately changed their minds and began to be hostile.

The attitude of the surrounding victims changed, and Ye Hao naturally felt it, which made her even more speechless and angry.

Just as she was about to leave regardless of it, a voice full of surprise sounded:

"Are you Mrs. Xie?"

Suddenly someone broke her identity, Ye Hao was also shocked, and looked back in the direction of the voice.

But when she saw the man, she frowned, and she had no impression of him.

"Are you?"

The man was quite strong, and he was one of the members of the charity.

Seeing that he had guessed the identity of the other party, the strong man smiled shyly, bent down slightly, and explained:

"I'm Boss Wu's bodyguard, I haven't met you, so you shouldn't be impressed."

Boss Wu?

As soon as this name came out, Ye Hao knew who the other party was talking about, and her eyes showed clarity.

Except for the wine shop Boss Wu, there is no one surnamed Wu she knows.

The guard was also pure speculation, he had been running around with Boss Wu all the year round, and he had never seen Ye Hao.

was able to reveal the identity of the other party in one sentence, and also listened to the chatter of a few small people around Boss Wu, saying that Boss Wu had a very beautiful female friend.

This Mrs. Xie is not only rich and capable, but also very kind-hearted, and she proposed the solution to the insect plague at the beginning.

As soon as the locust lawsuit came out, almost everyone in the city knew that the person who helped them successfully resist the insect plague was a beautiful Mrs. Xie.

So when the strong man saw the other party, he thought of this and guessed the identity of the other party.

"How is Boss Wu doing?"
