Chapter 60 Borrowing Food
"Mrs. Zhu, what are you thinking about? I called you several times just now, but you didn't hear me."
Liang He suddenly appeared.
Zhu Mingqing pulled himself out of his thoughts and composed himself: "Master Liang, what do you want from me?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Liang He's face, but he still said, "The food I bought at that time...is not enough. Can you sell us some?"
If he had known this would happen, he would have listened to Mrs. Zhu and bought more.
Zhu Mingqing did not agree immediately.
Instead, he fixed his gaze on the people sleeping on the ground around him, as well as some newborn babies.
Most people did not bring food with them up the mountain, so they can only dig wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.
The flood shows no signs of dissipating.
It seems that the food in the cabin can be taken out and used.
She asked, "Master Liang, how many are here?"
"Four hundred and seventy-six." Liang He had just helped County Magistrate Wang count the number of people, so he naturally knew the answer, but...
"Why are you asking that?"
Zhu Mingqing smiled slowly: "Can you do me a favor?"
Finally, Liang He brought all his brothers and followed Zhu Mingqing onto the big ship.
The moment the cabin door opened.
Everyone present was surprised and their eyes widened.
All I saw were bags full of food, each bulging with food, blocking the gate.
There is not even room for one person.
Time stood still for a few seconds.
Liang He wanted to ask, but didn't know where to start.
As if he knew their confusion, Zhu Mingqing smiled and explained, "When I bought this ship, these grains..."
Liang He understood before she finished speaking.
“So much food should belong to the ship owner.
It's the Madam who had the foresight to buy these foods early."
Zhu Mingqing smiled stiffly: ...
She originally wanted to say that she had hired someone to move in ahead of time, although that sounded a bit far-fetched.
But now, there’s a ready-made reason.
Just put the blame on Tan Guangyi. Liang He is unlikely to verify it with him anyway.
If you really find something wrong, you've already eaten it. No one would be so tactless as to get to the bottom of it.
At most, I will have doubts!
"Lord Liang, please move?" She made a gesture of invitation.
Chang Wu and the others immediately cheered: "Thank you, Madam!"
Then they swarmed in.
For some reason, Liang He felt a lump in his throat despite this joyful scene.
At a time like this, it is a blessing to be able to get something to eat.
Moreover, Madam Zhu is such a kind-hearted person that she shouldn't be implicated by the Luo family.
Seeing them carrying dozens of bags in a row without stopping, Liang He hurriedly stopped them: "That's enough, stop moving."
Chang Wu muttered quietly, "It was Madam who told us to keep moving. She said it would be useful."
Liang He thought about the previous conversation, could it be...
Sure enough, just as they moved the grain to their side, County Magistrate Wang came over.
He touched the various kinds of food, and his heart warmed slightly: "Master Liang, may I ask what these foods are?"
Liang He: "I wish you all the best."
County Magistrate Wang immediately understood. Although he wondered why she had so much food, the most important thing now was not to go hungry again.
However, he was short of money at the moment, so how could he get Madam Zhu to agree to sell the grain to him?
Mrs. Wang also slowly walked to her husband's side and asked: "Are you worried about food?"
County Magistrate Wang sighed, "Alas, there's no telling when this flood will dissipate. It's no use staying here any longer. The people will starve."
Mrs. Wang set her eyes on the beautiful young lady and said, "She must be Mrs. Zhu. I'll go talk to her."
County Magistrate Wang shook his head: "I'll go."
After all, he represents Zhencheng, so Madam Zhu can also pay attention to him.
It was about what happened before. He didn't believe the other party. He hoped that he wouldn't be angry.
Mrs. Wang held her husband's hand, her eyes gentle but unyielding: "I'll go!"
County Magistrate Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "...Well, go and try it first!"
When Mrs. Hua heard the noise, she immediately ran over with her grandson and granddaughter.
"I greet you, my Lord and Madam."
Zhencheng is not big, and Hua Pozi is not only a matchmaker, but also a well-known matchmaker. Moreover, her matchmaking speed is impeccable, and both families are basically very satisfied.
Magistrate Wang and Mrs. Wang naturally recognized her.
Mrs. Wang glanced at County Magistrate Wang and motioned him to go back and look after his mother first.
After the people had gone away, Madam Wang politely helped the man up and then asked quietly, "How is it? Has there been any result with Xuan'er's matter?"
Mrs. Hua looked embarrassed and said, "Oh my god."
She actually forgot this!
It's not that she wasn't serious, but because of Miss Wang's physique, she was rejected so many times when she went to the man's house to propose marriage that she couldn't count them with two slaps.
Now he even wants to walk around the county magistrate's office.
But now, she took the initiative to come over. It would be strange if the county magistrate's wife didn't ask.
"Madam, this..." She stammered, looking embarrassed. "I will do my best to find a good husband for you."
Mrs. Wang sighed and thought, forget it, if she couldn’t even handle it, how could she?
"So what are you doing here?"
Mrs. Hua smiled immediately. "Last night, our entire family, including these two children, were rescued by Madam Zhu. I wanted to go with you to thank her."
Mrs. Wang nodded, thinking that he was a grateful person. "Then let's go together."
Here, Chang Wu and others moved all the food to one place and sent people to guard it.
The people resting nearby noticed the commotion, but they also knew their identities, so no one dared to step forward.
When they saw the county magistrate's wife coming over, a glimmer of hope appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Madam Zhu." Madam Wang bowed slightly and her eyes fell on the woman in front of her.
Just by looking at her back, you can tell that she is a beautiful woman, but she is a little too thin.
Zhu Mingqing turned around and saw the person coming. He stood up and smiled slightly: "Madam Wang, we meet again."
In the mountains and forests, the grass and trees are withered and the branches and leaves are scattered all over the ground.
It's so desolate.
But the woman in front of him added a touch of brightness to the scene.
Mrs. Wang was stunned. She had heard Xuan'er say before that Mrs. Zhu was as beautiful as a flower. She thought that since she was almost her age, how could she be much more outstanding?
It was pitch black last night and I couldn’t see clearly.
Seeing it now, I realize it is truly rare in the world. Any more would seem redundant, and any less would seem like something is missing.
This appearance seems just right.
"Mrs. Wang?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhu Mingqing walked up to her and waved his hand.
How come she looks like her daughter?
Mrs. Wang came back to her senses and quickly smiled with narrowed eyes: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam."
He was too embarrassed to say that he was stunned by her expression, so he asked, "Madam, may I have a moment to talk?"
