At that moment, upon hearing what these youths said, Xia Yayun tried her best not to fly into a rage.
“Why don’t you accept the things I gave you for free? Do you think those snacks aren’t delicious? It’s alright. How about this? I’ll treat you guys to lunch today. Order whatever you guys want, just do it,” Xia Yayun said gently.
The teenagers fell into silence for a moment.
Many of them blushed.
“Many families in the city are hiring short-term workers now. W-We can earn money on our own…” One of the teenagers said quickly.
“The food at the restaurant is very expensive. You might not even be able to afford a dish even if you work for a month!” Xia Yayun frowned, “You don’t have to be shy. I’m willing to treat you well because I think your experiences are too miserable. I can help you, and I can let you live a good life!”
Xia Yayun had lived a comfortable life since she was young, so what she said was only natural.
At that moment, she thought they were shy when she saw these blushed youths.
If these youths had been miserable since they were young, then they might feel that they had climbed onto a big tree at that moment. However, the truth was that these people were all pampered children in their families before they were affected by the disaster.
Even if their families were not that well off, they were not short of food.
Hence, at that moment, Xia Yayun’s words were particularly harsh to them. It even triggered their self-esteem directly.
They were all youths under the age of 16 or 17. It was the time when they were most sensitive.
At that moment, they felt ashamed and had the urge to run away.
However, Young Lady Xia had given them snacks earlier. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied now, it was not appropriate to quarrel with their ‘benefactor’.
They stood there stiffly.
Xia Yayun smiled, “Alright, all of you don’t have to be afraid. I didn’t know that there were bullies here earlier. Now that I know, I will definitely protect all of you.”
As she spoke, Xia Yayun brought these people to the restaurant in the city.
The youths felt uncomfortable, but they knew that Xia Yayun’s background was extraordinary. With the previous incident with the bullies, they did not dare to go against Xia Yayun at that moment. They could only follow her obediently.
Xia Yayun booked the entire restaurant’s hall and invited them in.
The commotion was big.
Yesterday, someone praised the Xie siblings for their kindness and generosity. Today, someone praised Xia Yayun for her uninhibited and pure nature.
Xie Qiao also came to the outskirts of the city today.
However, she did not get off the carriage. Instead, she asked the servant to come over and take the things from yesterday and return them to the male ghoul’s family.
The servant was also puzzled, but he was very obedient. He found the shed that she had mentioned.
“Are you Wang Zhen’s family?” The servant asked very carefully.
An old woman looked at him with muddy eyes, “That’s right. May I know what’s the matter, Noble?”
“No, no, no. I’m just an errand boy. I’m not considered a noble… Well, my First Young Lady asked me to bring these to you. She said… she said Wang Zhen received the goods when he was alive, but they were stolen by someone and she’s returning them to you now,” the servant immediately said.
The old woman’s expression froze for a moment, then she took the items in realization.
“Yes… My Son said that someone was giving out food and clothes. He wanted to get them, but they were taken away… Just like that…” the old woman hugged the items and wailed loudly.
The young woman next to her was the same, tears streamed down her face.
The young child was indifferent, but he knew that his father was gone. He was pouting at that moment.
The servant felt terrible, “The dead cannot be brought back to life. Those who are alive must take good care of their health. The First Young Lady said that the wicked have been brought to justice, and the disaster has passed. Peace will be restored when spring comes.”
