The general kneels on the washboard again

Yue Niang looked at the old house which no longer looked like a house and dug desperately towards the location of her room.

Several people came over to help: "Yue'er, what are you digging?"

"My money."

At this time, Ruoyan stood in front of Yue Niang and handed her a box: "Is this it?"

Yue Niang looked at Ruoyan and gave her a big hug: "You are my benefactor, Ruoyan." She was very excited.

Yue Niang opened the box and took inventory, then almost emptied out everything: "Full moon."

The next second, Man Yue appeared: "What are your orders, Master?"

Yue Niang handed him the box and said, "Take this box, take Qin Shaobai with you, and go to Rongzhou to find Boss Qin. Ask them to collect some food for us. Remember, collect it separately and don't make a big fuss."

Man Yue accepted the order and left.

Things happened too quickly last night, and Jiang Yunxiao was still frightened when he saw Yue Niang like that.

Everyone in Nanshan Village is grieving, sitting on the roofs of their houses. The village chief goes from house to house, offering condolences: "It's best that everyone is safe. We will have these things again."

Yue Niang said to the village chief, "Grandpa Village Chief, we don't know when this flash flood will come again. Why don't we let everyone leave first?"

The village chief shook his head and sighed, "But we've lived here for generations. Where else can we go?"

Yue Niang looked at the village that had lost its vitality overnight and said to the village chief, "If you don't mind, please stay in my Fengmanxuan for a while."

Looking at these poor men and women, I still couldn't bear it.

Feng Manxuan's business was a failed attempt, but Yue Niang still planned to take a long-term view.

Fortunately, the several hills where spices were grown, as well as Zhoujia Village and Xishan Village, were not greatly affected and their source of income was not cut off.

On the way to Qingshi Town, there was complete silence. The villagers were covered in dust and dirt, and most of them had families with them.

There were people from the same village, and although Feng Manxuan had a backyard, there were too many people, so they had to sleep on the floor. But they had finally settled down.

After everything was settled, only Jiang Yunxiao and Yue Niang were left walking towards Pinmingju.

The night wind kept circling and tilted towards the two of them.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and the two of them tried to find topics to talk about at the same time.

"Didn't you leave?"

"Are you OK?"

Then they said it in unison again.

"I heard there was a flood and was worried about you."

"fine."

Yue Niang's heart warmed: "Thank you."

"I'm glad you're okay. I'll be leaving now." Jiang Yunxiao was a little anxious because Jingli was urging him to leave.

A strong wind blew up. Yue Niang stood on tiptoe and patted the dust off Jiang Yunxiao's shoulders: "Have a safe trip, Brother Yunxiao."

Nanshan Village is Yue Niang’s first residence in this strange world. Even though there are many unpleasant memories of their time together, the good ones still outweigh the bad ones.

A group of people were displaced, and Yue Niang didn't have much assets now, but she still wanted to do her best to help.

After returning to Pinmingju, Yue Niang suddenly found that Zhulan was missing. Yue Niang looked at Dongzhu: "Dongzhu? Where is Zhulan?"

Dongzhu was also confused: "It was still there when I came out of Nanshan Village. I will go find it now." Dongzhu went out in a hurry to look for it, and Yue Niang asked Lian Xing to follow.

In a short while, Lian Xing and Dong Zhu dragged Zhu Lan in.

Yue Niang sat on the throne, looking very majestic.

Lian Xing threw the letter in his hand out: "Master, this woman is delivering a letter to Lingzhou."

Yue Niang stared at Zhu Lan, her eyes full of scrutiny, her tone remarkably calm. "I always felt that when you blocked the knife, there was some sincerity in it. But now you've dealt me a blow. Now it seems that was also part of your plan, right?"

Zhulan just lowered her head in shame and said nothing.

Yue Niang continued, "Are you planning to threaten me with your own life? I wonder if Tian will treat your mother well after you die?"

Zhulan was shocked, and finally raised her head when she heard the word "mother". "Miss, I really have no choice. I remember all your kindness to me, but my mother is more important to me. I have to weigh the pros and cons."

Yue Niang walked up to Zhu Lan and said, "You can try to trust me. I can help you rescue your mother, and I can also give her the status of a free person. I will also give you a large sum of money, and you will no longer be coerced. Are you willing?"

Zhulan obviously didn't believe it: "Miss, your situation is not much better than mine, how can you help me?"

Yue Niang shook her head: "I can exchange it with my property."

Zhulan was even more shocked: "Miss, are you kidding me? Are you willing to give up your entire fortune just for two little servants?"

Yue Niang squatted down and looked Zhulan in the eye: "Zhulan, as long as you say that I have the ability to help you, I am willing to help you."

Zhulan's tears began to fall: "Miss, it's Zhulan's fault."

Yue Niang pulled her up and said, "Zhu Lan, you and I are both helpless. I will find an opportunity to talk to my father about this matter. You just wait to be reunited with your mother. As for this letter, you can send it out as usual."

Zhulan was puzzled: "But this involves your business, young lady, why do you still want me to send it out as usual?"

"I've read it. It's just about the disaster in Nanshan Village and my miserable situation. Please post it as usual, but you must let me review it every time you post it from now on. I promised to give you freedom, and I will never break my promise."

Zhulan thanked him profusely and went out.

Lian Xing hid in the dark, and Dong Zhu came closer: "Miss, do you believe her so much?"

Yue Niang looked at Zhu Lan's back outside the door and rubbed Dong Zhu's head: "Dong Zhu, if we have more trust, the world will be a better place."

It’s not that Yue Niang trusts Zhu Lan so much, but after Zhu Lan trusted Yue Niang, Yue Niang saw the layer of white smoke above Zhu Lan’s head, which was the same as the one above Gu Xiu Fu’s head at that time. Yue Niang was sure that it was not an illusion.

Recently, whenever I have doubts about someone, I can always see smoke above that person's head, either white or black. The black one usually means that the person is two-faced and says one thing and means another, while the white one means that the person is sincere.

We lived like this for a month. The weather was extremely cold and everything was covered in white. This winter was particularly cold. Fortunately, Man Yue finally came back. The next day, Qingshi Town was completely blocked from entry and exit.

Looking at the full bag of food, Yue Niang quickly invited the villagers of Nanshan Village to move to the cave of Pinmingju at night.

This winter will definitely be over now.

Years ago, Yue Niang also received a letter from Jiang Yunxiao. He said that after he returned, he beat up those who gossiped about Yue Niang. Now he was being punished by Cao Jin to copy "The Gentleman", and he poured out his grievances again.

This year's New Year's Eve, Yue Niang and everyone in Nanshan Village spent it at Fengmanxuan. Everyone was having a great time, and the village chief was almost in tears, thanking Yue Niang for her help.

Every festive season makes people miss their families more, and Yue Niang also truly feels this. If her grandmother were still alive, would she be able to act like a spoiled child again?
