Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Chapter 222: The Concubines Help in the Disaster Area

The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Yinzhen had already set out to the disaster area under the stars, leading a large group of people. He knew that time was running out, and every minute and every second was related to the safety of the people in the disaster area.

Inside the mansion, Yi Ya had already woken up and wanted to go with Yin Zhen, but he gently dissuaded her: "Ya Er, the humidity is high in the morning and you are weak. You should go later. I will take people there first to find out the situation."

Although Yi Ya felt reluctant, she also understood Yinzhen's concern, so she nodded in agreement and began to think about what she could do for the disaster area.

She decided to use this time to organize the supplies she had prepared earlier so that they could be delivered smoothly later.

So, after Yinzhen and his party left, Yi Ya called the maid Bai Zhi and instructed her, "Bai Zhi, go and carefully check the clothes, medicinal materials, dry food and other supplies we prepared, and load them into the car after ensuring they are in good condition. We will also set off to the disaster area later to do our part for the people."

Bai Zhi took the order and left, her busy figure appearing particularly focused in the morning light.

At this moment, the sound of light footsteps was heard outside the door, followed by the laughter of the Third Lady Dong E, the Fifth Lady and the Seventh Lady.

Their arrival added a bit of liveliness to this quiet morning.

"Fourth sister-in-law, are you busy so early?"

Dong E smiled as she entered the room, her eyes falling on Bai Zhi who was sorting supplies, with a bit of curiosity.

Yi Ya was quite surprised to see the three wives coming to visit, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "Oh, why are you three here? It's really rare to see you."

Dong E held Yi Ya's hand and said affectionately, "It has been raining in Hangzhou these past few days, and we have all been staying at home and haven't gone out much. Today, the weather is finally clear, so I wanted to invite you to go out for a walk and get some fresh air. But looking at your posture, it seems that you are busy."

Yi Ya smiled and explained, "You may not know that it has rained heavily in the past few days, and the people downstream of the river have suffered a disaster. The brothers are busy in the disaster area every day, and I also want to share some of their burden. Look, I am preparing some supplies and plan to send them to the disaster area later."

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Lady frowned slightly and said with concern: "The disaster area is probably very dirty and messy now, and you are weak, so why bother going there in person? It would be better to let the servants deliver the things."

Yi Ya shook her head slightly, her eyes revealing determination: "Fifth brother's wife is right, but I think that going there in person can better express our sincerity and concern. Moreover, I also want to see the situation in the disaster area with my own eyes to provide some reference for the subsequent assistance work."

After hearing this, the Fifth Lady was speechless for a moment and did not say anything else.

The Third Lady smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Sister Yiya is really thoughtful. In that case, let's go together! Helping the people in the disaster area is what we should do. There is strength in numbers, and we can also do more for the disaster area."

Yi Ya looked at San Fu Jin gratefully and nodded: "Thank you all for your support. Bai Zhi, speed up, we are ready to set off."

So, the group got busy again, making final preparations for the upcoming trip to the disaster area.

At this moment, a clear childish voice, like the singing of birds in the morning, broke the silence - the two little guys, Honghui and Hongchun, ran in hand in hand, their faces filled with innocent smiles, bringing a touch of brightness to the heavy atmosphere of the upcoming journey.

"My dear, Third Aunt, where are you going?"

Honghui asked the question first. He widened his eyes and looked curiously at the adults who were about to go out.

Hongchun followed closely behind, his little face also full of confusion and expectation.

It turned out that when Dong E entered Yayuan, she brought Hongchun with her.

As soon as the little guy came in, he followed Honghui like a little tail. As soon as they met, they couldn't wait to play together. They didn't stop the game until they noticed the adults' unusual behavior of getting ready to leave.

Seeing this, Dong Du couldn't help but feel a little worried. She knew very well that the situation in the disaster area was complicated and dangerous, and she really didn't want to let the two young children take risks.

So, she gently squatted down and said to Honghui and Hongchun: "Children, your aunts and I have important things to do. That is a very dirty and messy place, not suitable for you. You just stay at home and wait for us to come back, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Hongchun frowned slightly. Although he was young, he already looked like a little adult.

He looked up at Dong E, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Mother, from the looks of you, there must be something important going on. I want to help, too, just like an adult. Besides, Honghui said that Fourth Auntie promised him yesterday that she would take him to do something meaningful."

Dong E looked at Hongchun, her heart filled with emotion.

She gently stroked Hongchun's head, her tone both helpless and gentle: "Chun'er, you are really brave and kind. But it's really dangerous there. Not only are there injured people, but there are also many uncertain factors. Are you sure you want to go?"

When Honghui heard this, he immediately became anxious. He held Yiya's hand tightly, fearing that she would regret it: "Mother, you said that as long as I am obedient, you can take me to do meaningful things. The children in the disaster area need us, we can't abandon them. Mother, you can't regret it!"

Yi Ya looked at the two children, with mixed emotions in her heart. She knew that she could not refuse such an innocent and firm request.

So, she took a deep breath and made a decision: "Okay, since you are all so determined, then I will take you with me. But you must promise me that you will follow the adults closely along the way, obey their instructions, and never leave our sight. Also, you must always be vigilant and pay attention to safety."

"We will, mother!" Honghui and Hongchun jumped up excitedly, turned around and ran back to prepare their small bags.

Looking at the cheerful figures of the children, Yi Ya and the other ladies smiled at each other. Although the road ahead is unknown and full of challenges, with the company and support of the children, their hearts are filled with strength and warmth.
