When the familiar carriage came into view, the busy refugees stopped in unison, smiled, and looked at them with gratitude and respect.

The woman's slender figure landed in front of them as if carrying new hope.

Zhe Sang nodded slightly in response to those looks.

They went back to what they were doing.

Compared to two months ago, everything has changed drastically.

People picked up hope, united, twisted their strength into one, and worked together to rebuild their homes.

Most of the able-bodied men and young people returned to Nanchuan to relieve floods. The houses destroyed by flash floods were rebuilt. Although they were not as good as before, they were still homes.

The crops planted in the spring will not be harvested, but if the floods are cleared, the branches and stones are removed, the field stalks are raised, and the land is plowed, maybe the seedlings for the autumn harvest can be planted in time.

The old people and children who were unable to do hard work gathered together to light a fire and cook. When the food was cooked, a group of children of different heights ran quickly along the path to deliver it to the working men.

As for the women, they divided the mulberry leaves into two groups, and those with better needlework and thread made embroidery together, which could be sold in prosperous places, which could be regarded as a little supply for the family. After all, they have nothing now. I don’t know how many years of farming it will take before we can return to the days before the disaster struck. Those who were not good at needlework, Zhe Sang asked them to help the doctor, prepare and change medicines for the injured, and also learn some barefoot folk remedies - the doctor was not willing to teach them at first, so Zhe Sang spent a lot of money, enough for several people After eating it for a lifetime, I reluctantly agreed. Although it was superficial, it would be enough in the future.

Wang Xiangxiu glanced at Zhe Sang a few times, and finally asked worriedly, "What kind of difficulties did you encounter, Madam?"

She lowered her voice, but the work of everyone in the embroidery room quietly slowed down.

Zhe Sang never showed his true face to others. He always wore a veil or a mask. I don’t know how Wang Xiangxiu could tell.

She lowered her eyes, looked at the gorgeous peonies on the embroidery, and praised softly, "The embroidery is getting better and better."

Wang Xiangxiu finally stopped her sewing, "But because of us?"

Zhe Sang was confused when she asked, "How do you say it?"

Wang Xiangxiu no longer deliberately suppressed her voice, "Mrs. Su is our reborn parent. You alone support more than 30,000 mouths in the suburbs. The government said they have no money and can't take care of us. But you are a prostitute, you can do this, We are grateful to you from our hearts.”

She said with a slight moisture in the corners of her eyes, "We know that we have to eat a lot of food every day, so we just want to rush to finish Nanchuan as soon as possible and get home as soon as possible."

"Ms. Su, you have done enough. If we are your burden, what difficulties do you have? Even if you don't care about us in the future, we will only be grateful to you! We only hope that he can repay you in the slightest - —" Zhe Sang realized that she was worried that she would not be able to support them.

He smiled and comforted, "Don't think too much, it's not about this."

Seeing a room full of women looking at him, Zhe Sang thought for a while and said, "I won't be able to come here often in the future. Everything is on track. I believe you will be able to go home soon. Don't worry, your embroidery will be finished when you return home." There will be people who come to buy it, and as long as the quality is good, they will buy it.”

The room fell into silence for an instant. Some people looked at her in confusion, some were reluctant to leave, and some had tears in their eyes.

For them, this period of suffering was saved because of the woman in front of them. Now that she is leaving, they dare not keep her.

Zhe Sang pretended not to see her, whispered to Wang Xiangxiu next to her, and took her outside to the tree.

"The days are getting older, and I feel relieved to see that you are getting better." Zhe Sang explained to Wang Xiangxiu.

"Don't worry, I will explain to them." Wang Xiangxiu knew her intention, but she was still worried, "Is there really nothing else?"

Zhe Sang looked into those worried eyes and felt slightly touched in her heart. After a moment of silence, she asked in a low voice, "In the past, did you and your husband have any arguments?"

Wang Xiangxiu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that this was the problem that troubled Mrs. Su.

From her corner, Mrs. Su's beauty is beautiful, noble and refined. Every time she appears in front of her, she looks like a painting, making people unable to take their eyes away. But at this point, all the gentlemen in the world can only coax him, so how can they bear to argue?

Zhe Sang suddenly remembered that Wang Xiangxiu's husband failed to escape and was swept away by the flood. If he asked such a question, wouldn't he be poking her scars?
Wang Xiangxiu didn't think in that direction. She just regretted that she couldn't be of any help. She was a peasant woman and couldn't make any sense.

"In the past, when the guy in my family was disobedient, he would argue with me. Sometimes the words he said made me feel so angry. But he was also easy to coax. As long as he stir-fried a few side dishes, drank some wine, and coaxed me gently, his heart felt... When you are happy, everyone listens to me."

Zhe Sang had coaxed Gu Heng like this in the past, but this time, I'm afraid it might be a little difficult.

When Wang Xiangxiu talked about the past, she suddenly felt filled with emotion, "It was always a quarrel at the head of the bed and a fight at the end of the bed. Now that I'm gone, I think about the red-faced fights over trivial matters in the past. It's really not worth it. If I can come back, I will It’s okay to let him go back seven or eight times.”

She said, touching the corners of her eyes, fearing that Zhe Sang would be worried, she forced a smile and said, "But it's okay, I'm getting used to it. From now on, I will live a good life with my daughter. If my life is good, I will recruit someone." Son-in-law." (End of chapter)
