Xu Linyue, who transmigrated from the 21st century, crossed over with a heaven-defying spatial ability, possessing the body of a five-year-old farm girl. She originally thought of just accepting he...
The old man said, "The best way to repay you is to take good care of your health. I'll send someone to buy you some clean clothes. You can't wear these wet clothes anymore. You can't make your illness worse!"
"Thank you so much, Mr. Xu!" Some people even knelt down to express their gratitude.
When people are in trouble, it would be a happy thing if someone could lend a hand to help them.
Next, County Magistrate Wu arranged for the yamen runners to send these refugees to a place for settlement. Then the old man asked Kuiwu to go to the clothing shop to buy a set of clothes for each person. They didn't need to be too good, just warm enough.
There are not so many clothes in one shop, and I couldn’t buy enough after going to several shops. Fortunately, some kind people in the town sent me a lot of clothes. Although they are not new, they are all clean.
These people now had a place to settle down and were grateful to the Xu family from the bottom of their hearts. After changing into new clothes and covering themselves with warm quilts, they seemed to have come back to life. It was the Xu family that gave them the courage to live, and their previous sadness was swept away.
The old man also bought a lot of food and let them cook it themselves, which saved them a lot of trouble.
County Magistrate Wu sighed and said, "For now, these refugees have been settled with the old man's help, but this is not a long-term solution! Most of these people are women, children, and the elderly. They need to be arranged with permanent housing as soon as possible."
The old man said, "Then rebuild the previous slum."
The county magistrate said, "This slum actually has owners. These are very old houses, and the owners have all moved into new homes, so they rented them out to these refugees at a low price. Now that they've collapsed, they probably won't care, as they're all abandoned anyway. However, if you want to rebuild, you have to buy the land from them. Otherwise, wouldn't it be foolish to spend money to build houses on someone else's land?"
