Chapter 286: What do you think, sister-in-law? Don't you think it's dirty?

"Who knows? Maybe it's some poison?"

Even though the hot porridge was already heating up on the stove, no one dared to come forward to get the food.

Seeing that their kindness was not rewarded and they were ridiculed instead, these women looked extremely unhappy and became discouraged.

At this moment, Ruan Mian stepped forward with his hat on, and did not speak in a hurry. He just glanced at his aunt who was in disguise in the crowd. The ragged aunt suddenly walked out of the crowd, tremblingly came to the porridge shed to ask.

“Are you really giving out porridge?”

When the leading woman saw someone coming, she nodded quickly and enthusiastically served her porridge. Not only that, she also gave her some dry food, carefully wrapped in oil paper.

The poor sister-in-law played by my aunt was overjoyed and nodded in gratitude repeatedly. Even so, there were still people watching the show who reminded her.

"Sister-in-law, how dare you eat the food of these prostitutes? Aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

"That's right, sister-in-law, what do you think? Don't you think it's dirty?"

Hearing this, my aunt suddenly opened her voice and said, "Dirty? Is that what your parents taught you?"

"People are starving to death now, with no food to eat, so why would we care so much? What's wrong with brothels? In such a desperate moment, they gave us food to keep dying people alive! Who else could do the same? I think the real scoundrels are you hypocrites!"

After cursing, he slowly drank the hot porridge in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at her nervously, afraid that there was really something in the porridge.

However, after she drank it, she felt fine. Instead, the aroma of the porridge spread everywhere.

My aunt opened the oil paper again and found several fried pancakes, a small bag of flour, and a few potatoes inside.

The quantity is not much, but it is enough to eat for a few days.

You won’t starve to death!

She knelt down in ecstasy and thanked the brothel girls repeatedly.

Many of the onlookers were poor people who had run out of food and rushed over after hearing the news. When they saw that the sister-in-law was fine after eating and was even given dry food, they immediately rushed forward to line up.

As more and more people came to get porridge, the porridge stall suddenly became busy and even filled the entire street.

The women who were looked down upon just now have now become living Bodhisattvas in the mouths of those people, and everyone respects them very much.

The commotion was getting bigger and bigger. After all, this was the first time that porridge was distributed in Runing City, and it was done by a prostitute.

Everyone started to tell each other, and in a short while the news spread throughout the entire Runing City.

Now, not only the people in the city, but also the refugees outside the city, tried their best to come and get dry food.

Ruan Mian prepared enough things, and most of the food was looted from the space.

The oil paper and naan bread that were bought were all exchanged with the silver collected from Wen Yuan’s private treasury.

Such a big scene would naturally reach Wen Yuan's ears.

He was happily planning to go to the restaurant for a banquet in the evening, and was even asking his entourage about it.

"Any news? What is the treasure that Shopkeeper Yi brought today? Is it valuable?"

The attendant smiled and echoed, "Master, don't worry. When have those merchants not given us good treasures at every banquet? Moreover, Shopkeeper Yi is so wealthy. He will definitely satisfy you this time."

Wen Yuan thought about it and suddenly felt that the wound was not so painful anymore.

However, at this time someone came and told Wenyuan the news that the brothel was providing free porridge.

He couldn't sit still any longer and stood up in anger! He shouted in disbelief, "What? A brothel giving out porridge? Where did they put me?!"

If word gets out that the officials in Runing City did nothing and instead let a brothel provide porridge to save people, will he still keep his official hat?

So not long after the news reached his ears, officials arrived at the porridge stall in a mighty procession.

The leading officer stepped forward and overturned their tent. "Take them away!"

Without saying a word, he called people over to take all the women away.

The people queuing were pushed to the back by the officers, and the porridge stall suddenly became chaotic.

The woman in the lead was none other than Xu Mo'er, the woman the princess had intended to give to Wen Yuan that day. She struggled to break free from the officer's grasp, shouting angrily, "We're distributing porridge to save people, how can you arrest us for a disagreement?"

Seeing that she was still arguing, the leading officer looked at her angrily with a fierce look on his face and snorted.

"They distributed porridge without permission, disrupted public order, and didn't report it to the authorities. Who knows what's in there?!"

"Those brothel girls don't know what's good for them! Let's see who dares to resist today. I'll make sure they pay the price!"

He stood up angrily, and none of the onlookers dared to say anything, as they were all shocked by their murderous looks.

Xu Moer, however, fearlessly took the lead and said word by word, "If the government doesn't care about the people being in trouble, why can't the people save themselves?!"

"So many people have already drunk our porridge and haven't noticed anything wrong. Are you trying to stop us because you're worried about the government losing face?"

No one expected that she, a prostitute, would have such courage to fight against it.

Even though her clothes were torn into pieces by someone, Xu Moer did not flinch at all and continued to argue confidently: "If the government cared about the people, why would we have to do this!"

This sentence instantly aroused the anger of others.

The madam was also annoyed by this group of unreasonable people. She kicked the officer away, stood in front of them arrogantly, and shouted at the top of her voice in front of all the people.

"What is the intention of the government to stop us from distributing porridge without any reason? Today we..." However, the policeman did not give them a chance to finish their words because he had lost his patience.

He was already bored talking to these brothel girls, but he didn't expect that each of them was more difficult to deal with than the other. It was useless to talk so much nonsense.

He simply forced them to surrender on the spot, pulled out a whip and a knife, and smashed everything in the porridge shed to the ground.

In the chaos, all the women who were distributing porridge were arrested.

Xu Moer resisted the most fiercely, so the officer treated her like a target of attack. After kicking her to the ground, he mercilessly whipped her repeatedly.

In a short while, her body was covered in torn flesh!

The onlookers were shocked and felt it was very unfair for them.

The pot of hot porridge on the stove was also ruthlessly kicked to the ground by the officers.

When everyone saw this, they rushed forward, lying on the ground to eat, holding the food in their hands. Their behavior of not cherishing the food and not taking people seriously aroused everyone's anger.

I don’t know who shouted angrily in the crowd.

"I've never seen such a shameless official! This is our life-saving food! These women simply couldn't bear to see the poor starving to death, so they willingly used their own pockets to save their lives. Not only did you arrest them, but you also wasted the food! You will be punished by God!"
