Those things about the landlady

Chapter 73
Shu Ran seldom appeared in front of people with Master Yao, and even among the management staff in the mansion, there were not a few who had never seen Shu Ran.

Everyone knew about Shu Ran's family background, and it was inevitable that she could be literate, but they never expected that she would be so responsible and able to say such eloquent words.

Master Yao is considered a formidable figure in Caohe Town, and Mrs. Yao who can say such words must not be easy.

Originally, he wanted to throw a tantrum and force the Yao family to save others, but they all turned off the fire in an instant, and were at a loss for a while.

Just when the quiet needle drop could be heard at the scene, an old woman with trembling white hair came out and said with a sad face:
"I would like to thank my wife for your great kindness. As long as you are willing to send someone to rescue my grandson, even if he is not rescued in the end, I will be grateful."

With the first family member's utterance, thank you came one after another.

Theoretically, the people involved in the accident had all signed a contract with the Yao family, and even if they really died because of it, it was their own bad luck, and the Yao family sent someone to send some funeral expenses.

But this incident involved more than 30 lives, if it is handled hastily, the Yao family's reputation for being rich and unkind may not be lost.

Shu Ran listened to the voice of thanks and looked at the faces of this group of people who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Softly comforted: "Please wait patiently. The shop on the right is my dowry, and it is currently idle. It is still raining heavily. Everyone, go in first to hide from the rain and wait for the news of rescue."

It was also a coincidence that the lease of Shu Ran's dowry shop had just expired, and it was clean and tidy inside, which could accommodate more than a hundred people, but they could go in to shelter from the rain for the time being.

The old woman who stood up first said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Yao, don't worry about us. We want to go to the scene to see the rescue situation. You are pregnant and heavy, so you should go in to avoid the rain."

Shu Ran has done everything she can, and she needs to actively follow up on the follow-up compensation matters. If she really has an accident, it will really be more harm than good for the families of the victims.

Shu Ran didn't force herself when she heard the words, and took a few family members who were willing to go in to hide from the rain into the shop. After they were settled, Shu Ran was still going to go to the scene to see, and she had to take command if no one else was around.

Xie Donglai and Steward Wang were very efficient. When Shu Ran arrived at the scene, the rescue had already begun. There were many people who entered the water, not only young and middle-aged people, but also old people with excellent water skills.

However, the Yilan River has a huge area, many tributaries, and many places are bottomless. In addition, it is rainy and rainy and it is night. It is more accurate to say that it is to salvage corpses than to save people.

There is also a life-threatening one, with excellent water quality, who loses strength and sinks for a while, but rescue can save a life if rescue comes in time.

But there are very few such people, and after searching for most of the night, only two were found, and they were already very angry. At this time, the doctor who was on the scene early played a role.

After a series of emergency treatment, at least the life was saved. The family members saw all this in their eyes. No matter how much grief and anger they felt, they should not vent to Mrs. Yao. for.

But this is not a modern society, there is no high-tech rescue equipment, Shu Ran knows very well that most of the people who have not been rescued are corpses.

In the middle of the night, more than a dozen people were rescued one after another, but it was a pity that they were rescued too late, even if a few doctors tried their best to rescue them, it was useless, several of them were like this one after another, and the family members were heartbroken and crying one after another .

After all, Shu Ran was pregnant, and she was afraid that it would be bad for the child, so she didn't come forward. Fortunately, Shu Jun was there. Although he was young, he was quite sophisticated and tactful in dealing with things. There is a rule, which Shu Ran did not expect.

He was busy doing trivial things, taking care of everyone as much as possible, Yamozhai also moved quickly, and hurriedly brought a carriage of food.

The food was directly placed in the idle shops, like a buffet, and the hungry and tired rescuers went to pick up the food by themselves.

After Shu Ran came back from the scene, she stayed in the small attic above the shop. Although the place is small, it can isolate people from the outside world. There is also a bamboo and rattan chair, and Yun Shan directly takes the quilt from the carriage to spread Go up, urging Shu Ran to rest.

"Madam, you don't want to go back to the mansion, the servant girl can understand, but you can't suffer like this, you can bear it, my brother can't bear it, there are still many things waiting for you to deal with. "

Shu Ran was actually very tired, but she didn't want to rest, and deep down she always felt that there was still something she could do.

Just as she was about to refuse, there was another knock on the door, and Yun Shan hurried to open the door, only to see Shu Jun standing outside with wet hair, he smiled at Yun Shan, and walked to Shu Ran's side.

Explained softly: "I saw that the candles in the attic were still on, and I guessed that my sister hadn't rested, so I took the time to come and have a look."

Shu Ran took out the handkerchief in her arms and wiped it for him, "How's the situation outside? Are there any survivors?"

Shu Jun shook his head heavily, "My sister is not stupid, she should be aware of the reality, and it is unlikely that there will be any survivors now, I know my sister is feeling uncomfortable, but I have to accept the reality, it is not an option for you to stand up like this. "

Shu Ran paused, sighed, turned around and said, "It's because I was expecting too much, you will ask Steward Xie and Steward Wang to come to my place early in the morning, and we will discuss the follow-up matters Bar."

Shu Jun nodded, and helped Shu Ran go to the rattan chair and lie down, "It's getting late, sister, take a nap for a while, the county magistrate will come tomorrow, I'm afraid my sister won't be free."

Shu Ran didn't refuse, and closed her eyes obediently. Shu Jun still had a lot of things to take care of, and he couldn't stay here for long, so he signaled Yun Shan to go out with him, and when he got outside, he said softly:
"You take good care of your sister, the big things are not as important as her."

Yun Shan nodded, took a look at Shu Ran, and wiped her tears with distress, "Uncle, it's hard work, if the master is in the house, why does the wife work so hard."

Shu Jun frowned and reminded: "Don't mention your brother-in-law in front of your sister. It will only make her more sad if you mention it at this time. If there is anything, I will help you."

Yun Shan nodded, not talking too much, she turned around to guard Shu Ran after watching Shu Jun leave her.

Shu Ran didn't sleep well this time, her mind was so messed up that she couldn't fall into a deep sleep, and there was noise outside, how could she sleep well, she woke up before dawn.

Yunshan was dozing beside her, and when she moved Yunshan opened her eyes.

"Madam, are you awake? It's just dawn, do you want to lie down for a while?"

Shu Ran shook her head, she didn't put on makeup when she came here last night, it would be convenient to clean up in the morning, "You go and wash my face with water, I'm going outside to have a look."

Yun Shan hurriedly nodded in agreement, she quickly fetched a basin of water, waited for Shu Ran to wash her face, and then simply arranged her hair.

As soon as the master and servant came down from the attic, they saw Xie Donglai walking in with a tired face, and when he saw Shu Ran, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Thank you, steward, how many people have you found now?"

Xie Donglai didn't talk too much, and said with a sad face: "Except for the two people who were rescued first, a total of [-] bodies were salvaged. I have met with the steward in charge of this cargo ship, and it is confirmed that there are still [-] people who have lost contact."

Shu Ran was in a very bad mood, and the chances of the ten missing people surviving were not high. Unless God favored them, they were washed to the bank of the river and happened to be rescued by someone, otherwise it would be difficult to find their bodies.

Shu Ran didn't have anything else to say, she just looked at Xie Donglai and said, "Do your best to find their remains, and the family members must have something to think about."

Xie Donglai nodded, and just as he was about to leave, he saw the county magistrate walking over surrounded by a group of people.

Yun Shan cleverly put the cap on for Shu Ran, the master and servant looked at each other, and then walked towards the magistrate.

The official position of the county magistrate is not high, but he is a local parent official. If such a big accident occurs in the jurisdiction, no matter how stupid he is, he will not sit idly by.

He had already been on good terms with Master Yao, and to be precise, Master Yao gave the magistrate enough money, so he was polite to Shu Ran.

After a simple salute and greeting, the county magistrate asked about the rescue situation at the scene. After all, Shu Ran is a female family member. If it is not necessary, it is inconvenient for her to speak too much in public, especially when there are all men present.

Fortunately, Xie Donglai was by his side. He was also used to big scenes with Master Yao, and he was very careful about what to say and what not to say. He picked some key things and explained everything to the county magistrate clearly.

Of course, speaking also needs a way. Sometimes a seemingly casual sentence can achieve his goal very well. At least after hearing Guanshi Xie's narration, everyone's perception of Mrs. Yao is different.

May I ask the wives in their house, how many of them can act decisively and make correct arrangements so quickly? Everyone sees the responsibility of the Yao family.

It's nothing right now, but in the long run, the Yao family's reputation has stepped up to a new level, and many things cannot be judged by temporary gains or losses.

The county magistrate looked not far away. Although he was heartbroken, the family members who had never made troubles praised Shu Ran.

"Mrs. Yao is indeed a hero of the girls' school. Even if Master Yao is in the mansion, he may not be able to do as well as you."

Shu Ran was wearing a cap, so others couldn't see her face clearly, which made her feel more comfortable. She said modestly:
"Your honor is too high. If our master is at home, we will act like this. Although my Yao family is insignificant, we will not shirk the responsibility we should bear. If you lose money, you can earn it again. But when people are gone, the survival of the remaining family members will be difficult." It is difficult, and after all the people on board are found, we will do what we can to deal with the aftermath, and we will do our best to help the family members who lost their loved ones to live again."

What she said was reasonable, and the magistrate nodded repeatedly.

"Mrs. Yao deserves to be a daughter. I am worried that some people will be greedy and want to take this opportunity to extort money. I will come to witness the aftermath. If anyone has bad intentions, he will be sent to prison immediately."

The county magistrate is a parent official, and he has seen a lot of treacherous and cunning low-level people. Thinking that Mr. Yao is not in the mansion, and the two have always had some friendship, it is right to take care of them. After all, it is under his rule. If Mrs. Yao really His inaction caused public outrage, and he might also be implicated.

Shu Ran was very grateful when she heard the words, and said flattery as if it didn't cost money, who wouldn't listen to an official, the atmosphere was quite good for a while, and everyone who accompanied her really looked at Mrs. Yao with admiration.

Those who wanted to take this opportunity to watch the Yao family struggle, even envied Master Yao for marrying such a virtuous wife.
