Xia Yayun felt that it was a little unbelievable.
The reputation of the Xie family had always been terrible, and it had never changed. Now that Xie Qiao had only shown her face in front of the disaster victims, everything had changed!
Now that the reputation of the Xie family had changed, Xie Qiao’s advantage was much greater than hers!
Xia Yayun was panicking a little.
At that moment, the disaster victims outside the city welcomed an unprecedented ease.
The Crown Prince’s personal visit not only captured the bullies, but also replaced the officials responsible for maintaining law and order outside the city. It was said that they would be heavily punished. Almost everyone felt a lot more at ease!
“Grandma, there will be no bullies anymore. No one will steal our things again. Do you know? That snack smells really good, it’s white and soft…” In the middle of the night, a curled up youth leaned against a slightly messy straw mat as he spoke in the shed.
However, there was no response to his words.
After a while, the youth buried his head, “Grandma, why is the world so unfair? Why is it that some people are superior to others, while others are nothing just like weed?”
Her fair hands held the snack that emitted a milky fragrance and placed it in front of him.
The girl would smile at them, but it was like she was avoiding a plague. The moment she handed them the snack was in their hands, she would pull her hands back.
She would hold her breath, and she would pick and choose, as if they were… animals.
Were they not humans?
The snacks were very delicious. He had tasted them the first time, but the second time… all the chosen victims were targeted by those hooligans, and they could only give everything back.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that he had become a beggar, even worse than a beggar.
Half a year ago, he was a good citizen. He had his parents, grandparents, and younger sister.
However, now, there was not a single one left.
He should be grateful. That girl had no relations with him. He should be filled with gratitude for the delicious food that she had kindly sent over. He should remember that in his heart.
However, he just could not accept it.
“Grandma, I hate them so much.”
Those pretentious people.
Those high and mighty noblemen.
The body lying on the ground could not answer him. The old man who was hovering in the air stared at his living grandson with empty eyes.
…
The next day, the scene outside the city changed as expected.
The incident of the bullies taking the disaster victims’ resources was now known to everyone. When they thought of the helpless victims and the vicious gangsters they had to face, many wealthy families in the city started a new round of donations, and these donations… they were registered by the government and then distributed to the people.
Everyone had clothes and food.
They did not have to worry about being robbed.
In addition, those wealthy families also sent their servants to help build more stable sheds to shelter them from the wind and rain.
“What are these people doing? Do they have too much time in hand?!” Xia Yayun gritted her teeth when she went out to take a look!
There were too many good people, who would remember her?!
“Young Lady Xia, we all had a difficult life in the past and took your things, but we thought about it this morning. The government is distributing food to us frequently now. This winter won’t be as difficult, so… it’d be terrible for us to take your things for free,” seeing her coming, many teenagers came over and said politely.
Previously, they were willing to be taken care of because life was too difficult.
However, it was different today. The government gave out food and cotton-padded clothes. There were even notices posted by the government to recruit short-term workers. There was more work to be done.
After resting for a few days, many people would be able to go to work. They would definitely be able to survive this winter.
