Chapter 128 Yu Jiaojiao Kneels at the Door
These past few days, Yu Zhiyi has had a feeling that someone is following her.
As soon as she leaves the Du residence, the feeling of being watched comes back.
But nothing happened for several days.
The other person always kept a distance of more than 20 meters from her, following her at a moderate distance, and wherever she went, the other person would follow.
But it was merely following along.
Yu Zhiyi asked the charity organization, and they were quite certain that there was nothing unusual about the store recently. Although many people came to inquire, very few actually met their standards.
Isn't Su Yuanlin pitiful?
Having lost both hands, he is a true disabled person.
However, because he has the ability to earn money and take care of himself, charities will not provide him with assistance.
According to this standard, 80% of the impoverished population can be eliminated.
Many people are simply poor, not sick or disabled. They may face some social injustices, but they are not in such dire need that they cannot survive without the help of charities.
The elderly, the infirm, and the disabled who truly need help are the vast majority who never reach charitable organizations.
Yu Zhiyi also noticed this, so the team responsible for finding customers still had to go out and search for customers themselves.
As for the charitable organizations, they only need to leave two or three people to help receive inquiries and handle registration.
Yu Zhiyi ignored the person who was following her because she could sense that the other party meant no harm.
If the other party needs help, they can certainly seek help from charitable organizations.
As for other reasons, she was too lazy to ask. Anyway, if the other party needed to contact her, they would show up sooner or later.
As a result, before the person who was following them even showed up, the troublemakers came knocking.
That day, Yu Jiaojiao arrived at the entrance of the charity organization alone.
She still wore gold and silver, but the quality of her clothes was much lower than before.
The skirt was made of a material that only ordinary people could afford. It wasn't coarse cloth, nor was it silk or satin. Instead, it was a fine cloth made with a special process. It looked nice and felt alright to the touch, but it was far inferior to gauze and silk or satin.
The clothing system in the Great Sheng Empire was not so strict. As long as you had money, ordinary people could wear silk and satin, although there would be some restrictions on the styles.
For example, men without official positions could not wear round-necked clothes, and girls from ordinary families could not wear the official attire reserved for officials.
Moreover, there are further subdivisions among the specific official positions.
Generally speaking, anyone with a discerning eye can tell whether the person standing in front of them is an ordinary citizen or an official just by looking at their clothing.
She knelt down as soon as she arrived at the Yi Luan Charity.
This street wasn't originally a particularly bustling one, but thanks to the existence of Yi Luan Charity, it has recently seen a significant increase in foot traffic, and most of the people coming are there specifically for Yi Luan Charity.
Seeing someone kneeling outside the shop, people, being naturally fond of excitement, immediately gathered around, pointing and whispering about Yu Jiaojiao, speculating about what trouble she had encountered.
Yu Jiaojiao's eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry.
Her red lips parted and closed, her voice choked with sobs: "Sister, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
At the back of the crowd, a young man saw Yu Jiaojiao like this, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
Yu Zhiyi was looking through documents on the second floor.
The data collected by the organization's own staff included many conditions for assistance.
But most of these people lived outside the city, in remote areas with limited access to information. Faced with this unexpected windfall, their first reaction was disbelief.
Fortunately, after the staff patiently explained and they thought about it carefully, they realized that they really had nothing that others would want from them, so they agreed to accept the help.
What Yu Zhiyi was looking at were the files of these people.
The main thing is the birth date and time (Bazi).
As the saying goes, a hemp rope always breaks at its thinnest point; for many poor families, once misfortune begins, it comes one after another.
Most of these families are left with only one or two people, either a widow or an orphan, or a disabled person, or young adults who have lost their land and have no job opportunities due to various reasons. They are clearly capable and strong, but they can only wait to starve to death.
For those who have lost their source of income and are too old or disabled, Yu Zhiyi adopted Hongluan's suggestion, purchased a special courtyard in the city, hired special people to take care of their daily life, and even contacted the city's medical clinics so that they could receive proper treatment if they fell ill.
This special residence is called a sanatorium.
As for the latter type, who are clearly facing a bleak future and hopeless life because they have offended someone, Yu Zhiyi will directly choose to provide them with job opportunities.
As for the possibility of people causing trouble for these people, that was not even on her radar.
She'll beat one if one comes, two if two come, and if there's someone utterly wicked...
With the emperor's approval, even if she acts first and reports later, it's just getting rid of a few more parasites for society.
At that time, she was looking at the information of a person named Li Feng.
This man is only twenty-three years old, but he is so poor that he can only survive by digging for wild vegetables.
The reason for this is...
This person is just unlucky.
He originally had a happy and fulfilling family life. Although he came from a rural area, his parents were hardworking and down-to-earth. They owned several acres of fertile land, and his mother had once worked as a maid in a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. She knew about some medicinal herbs and how to process common medicinal herbs.
In this way, the couple farmed during the busy season and went into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs during the off-season, which they then processed and sold to pharmacies in the city.
Over the years, the family has accumulated a considerable amount of money.
People these days have a strong attachment to education. Once a family becomes wealthy, the first thing they consider is sending their son to school.
Li Feng lived up to expectations; his teacher often praised him for being smart and quick-witted.
At the age of eighteen, Li Feng passed the imperial examination for the first degree.
That same year, he married the daughter of a doctor in town, and the two were deeply in love after their marriage.
Li Feng is very knowledgeable about studying and is diligent and inquisitive. He has accumulated a lot of experience in taking exams. If he is given a little more opportunity, he will have no problem passing the imperial examination.
Unfortunately, this family's good fortune had to end there.
Several years ago, when the family went to the city to participate in the Qixi Festival, a big shot from Shengjing took a fancy to Li Feng's wife and actually sent people to kidnap her.
After making inquiries everywhere, Li Feng's family finally learned the whereabouts of his wife/daughter-in-law and went to the important figure to ask for their relative.
Unfortunately, the family's strength was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree in the face of power.
That day, not only did they fail to get their relatives back, Li Feng and his father were even beaten up.
His father was badly injured and died on the way home.
Li Feng was better, but it took him a long time to recover.
He was furious, and after recovering, he went to report it to the authorities.
Unfortunately, no one dared to intervene.
Not long after, his mother also died of depression.
When Li Feng's wife learned that her father-in-law had been beaten to death for seeking justice for her, she was filled with guilt and ended her own life with a white silk ribbon.
