Chapter 1600 Proposal
They didn't dare to take it and looked at the old men.
Several elderly people said with a smile, "Take it, take it, and try it!", "Thank Mrs. Shao quickly!"
The children then took it with joy and said thank you in a low voice.
Zheng Sangge and a few of his brothers were moving goods to a warehouse a few streets away today. Upon hearing the news, he assigned the work to his brothers and hurried back.
Even if he was not delayed on the road, it was already more than half an hour later when he returned to his residence.
"Mrs. Shao!" Zheng Sangge washed his hands and face, changed into clean clothes in a hurry, and then came into the hall, with an apologetic look on his face: "Sorry, I didn't know that Mrs. Shao was coming today!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "I know you are busy. It's okay to wait a little longer. Brother Zheng, there's no need to be so polite."
Zheng Sangge smiled and introduced Qiao Xuan to the elderly people.
Several elderly people knew that Qiao Xuan was the Mrs. Qiao who had helped their children two days ago. They all showed gratitude and thanked her with smiles on their faces.
After a brief greeting, everyone knew that Zheng Sangge must be discussing important matters with Mrs. Shao, so they all left.
"Mrs. Shao is so thoughtful. I am very grateful to you!"
He thought that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan's words of coming to visit were just a polite remark, but he didn't expect Qiao Xuan to really come.
He was not surprised that Shao Yunduan did not come. Shao Yunduan was from the Crown Prince's side. Their identities were special, and they had just had such a scene with the Fourth Prince, so it was inconvenient for Shao Yunduan to come.
Not only did Qiao Xuan come, but she also brought so many things. He was really grateful.
Qiao Xuan smiled, looked around the room, and said to Zheng Sangge, "I think Brother Zheng is a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush with him. It's really hard for Brother Zheng to lead such a big family!"
Zheng Sangge smiled bitterly.
The disabled, the sick, the old, the young, the elderly, the weak, women, children and the sick are all here. They are all poor and have no family background. How can they not be sad?
"Since we met by chance, I have a place to go. I wonder if Brother Zheng would be willing to consider it?"
If it was General Sun or the Crown Prince who said this, Zheng Sangge would have refused without hesitation, but for Qiao Xuan, he thought about it and said, "I would like to hear the details. Please enlighten me, sister-in-law."
Qiao Xuan had saved the children, and more importantly, he could feel that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan treated them equally and did not despise or look down on them.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "It's like this. We have a farm in Yunshui Town. We have more than 200 acres of land now, and I'm planning to buy a few hundred acres more. That piece of land needs people to cultivate and take care of it. If Brother Zheng is willing, why don't you take everyone there to settle down?"
"We are public and private. We provide housing, farm tools, etc., and hire you to farm. You sign a contract and pay monthly wages. In addition, we will allocate three acres of land for you to use as a vegetable garden. You can grow vegetables for your own consumption and raise chickens and ducks if there is any surplus. What do you think?"
"If Brother Zheng is interested, I will talk to you in detail and you can discuss it later."
Zheng Sangge couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that Madam Shao, a wife of an official, would be so down-to-earth and even know about raising chickens and ducks...
However, he had to admit that it sounded good and he was somewhat tempted.
