In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn
Chapter 189 Speaking frankly and without reservation
The sound of swords piercing flesh was heard as the women used the swords lent to them by the soldiers to stab the bound men again and again.
A strong stench of blood filled the air, but no one at the scene felt afraid; instead, they watched calmly as everything unfolded.
The women had been harboring resentment for a long time, and now they finally had the chance to vent it. They stabbed again and again, making sure that none of them escaped. But after seeing the people die, they did not feel any relief. Instead, they dropped their knives and stood there wailing.
Although they had avenged themselves, their lost loved ones could never return, causing them great distress and pain.
The soldiers stood around watching the scene, silently not going forward to disturb them, letting the women weep.
About half an hour later, the women regained some composure and respectfully bowed to the soldiers to express their gratitude.
Seeing the women's reaction, the soldiers didn't react much. Instead, they silently took torches and stepped forward, setting the surrounding area ablaze.
Watching the soldiers' actions, the women shed tears again, but this time they were tears of joy and relief.
The group watched the fire burn until the last embers died down before they turned back.
The women were very uneasy because they were about to go to a new place, and they were anxious the whole way.
Some of the younger soldiers noticed the women's thoughts and comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, our general and his wife are very kind people. They would be happy to accept you. And the people of Lingcheng are also very friendly. There's nothing to worry about."
Upon hearing this, the women felt a little relieved and then thanked them, saying, "Thank you, thank you for taking us in."
“Our Lingcheng is an inclusive place. As long as you work hard, you can support yourselves,” the soldiers said again.
These words reassured the women, and their expressions gradually calmed down as they quietly followed the group on their way.
Wang Zong had sent his soldiers back to the city to inform Su Li of the news shortly after the incident, so Su Li knew about it all along and did not show any suspicion when she saw the women in the group.
When the women saw that Su Li's attitude was calm and that there was no surprise in her expression or tone, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt truly at ease.
Knowing about the women's plight, Su Li had someone clear out an area for them in advance as a temporary refuge.
Because of what had happened, the women didn't want to have any contact with others for the time being, and they were very happy and grateful for Su Li's arrangement.
Since they knew nothing when they first arrived in Lingcheng, Su Li specially assigned Aunt Wang to explain to them how to earn work points and what avenues they could use to do so. She explained in detail that Lingcheng could provide them with a place to settle down, but they would have to rely on themselves for their future livelihood.
At first, the women were somewhat incredulous when they heard this introduction, but after asking again and receiving an affirmative reply, they vaguely realized that they had not misheard.
They used to live in hell, but now they live in paradise. The various rules of Lingcheng have made them realize that women can also hold up the sky, and they can live a stable life with their children even without relying on men.
Some people were so excited that they immediately grabbed Aunt Wang's hand and said excitedly, "Thank you, thank you so much for giving us a way to survive. Otherwise, we really don't know what we would have done."
Aunt Wang knew some of the details, so she solemnly told them, "As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to live a peaceful life. Don't worry about being treated unfairly, because Lingcheng has always treated everyone equally."
Based on what they had heard since arriving in Lingcheng, the women firmly believed in this aspect. They nodded and said, "We believe it, we believe it. We have never heard of such a system before, nor have we ever felt such good treatment. We believe it is all true."
"Now that you've come to Lingcheng, settle down and don't dwell on the past. Just live a peaceful life with your child. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me, or you can tell the General's wife," Aunt Wang instructed.
Upon hearing this, some people stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and asked with some doubt, "Is the woman we met today the General's wife? She looks so young and has a kind face."
Aunt Wang was Su Li's number one fan, and when she heard people say this, she couldn't help but nod earnestly and said, "Our General's wife is the most capable and best woman I have ever met. The General's wife has made great efforts to make Lingcheng what it is today and to establish such regulations."
"Did you know that the workshops that the General's wife is building now mainly recruit women? She equates women with men, and even values women more in some aspects."
Hearing what Aunt Wang said, the women who had been subjected to unfair treatment exchanged incredulous glances and said, "Women can go out to work alone? They have the opportunity to work in workshops? What about us? Do we have the same opportunity, or will there be other conditions?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang said solemnly, "Of course you have a chance. In Lingcheng, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will have a chance."
Upon hearing this, the women's eyes widened in surprise, and they exclaimed happily, "Great! We've come to a wonderful place!"
Aunt Wang: "As long as you are willing to work hard and put in the effort, everything will develop in a positive direction."
……
With the matter concluded, the women settled down in the city with peace of mind, and Aunt Wang also successfully completed her mission, returning home to explain the matter to Su Li.
"These people have just gone through a major ordeal, and I'm afraid they won't recover for a while. I'll have to trouble Aunt Wang to keep a close eye on them and provide them with as much help as possible during this time," Su Li instructed.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Don't worry, Madam, I would have paid close attention even if you hadn't mentioned it."
Su Li naturally knew Aunt Wang's capabilities. Aunt Wang had helped handle many similar matters during this time and had already gained experience. Therefore, she did not ask too many questions about this matter, but instead brought up another topic, another unexpected topic.
“Auntie, you should be quite familiar with Lingcheng by now. I’m sure you know some areas of Lingcheng better than I do. I want to ask you something, something important about Lingcheng,” Su Li said.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang quickly replied, "Madam, please feel free to ask me anything. As long as it's something I know, I will answer it to the best of my ability."
