The man's cries became more and more urgent, and the child beside him began to cry.
"Mom, what are you doing? Mom, don't you want us anymore?"
Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun quickly rushed through the crowd and saw a ragged woman lying in a man's arms with a guilty look on her face.
Blood was oozing from the corner of the woman's lips, and it was obvious that she was planning to commit suicide by biting her tongue.
Ye Xiaoxiao pinched her chin directly and comforted her anxiously.
"Madam, I know you've suffered, but none of this is your fault."
"Your husband and children are waiting for you. You shouldn't end your life so hastily."
"I know you've suffered a great injustice, and you feel sorry for your husband."
"But none of this is your fault. If your husband despises you, then he is not a man at all."
"After all, it was because he didn't have the ability to protect you that you were snatched away by someone else."
"Now, he has finally got you back, how can you be so depressed?"
"Look at your children. Do you have the heart to let your stepmother bully them after you die?"
The man listened to Ye Xiaoxiao's consolation and felt a little anxious, and immediately refuted.
"I will not marry again. If my wife dies, I will not live either."
"My lady is right. I am too cowardly. I failed to protect my lady. I am the one who deserves death."
"My lady, if you insist on blaming me, then I will go with you."
As the man said this, he was about to commit suicide. Ye Xiaoxiao was angry and anxious watching him.
"Tianxuan, stop him, what are you doing here?"
"If anything happens to his wife, he won't have to kill himself, I will be the first one to not forgive him."
As soon as Ye Xiaoxiao said this, the men around her who felt uncomfortable seeing their wives being humiliated suddenly felt nervous.
Ye Xiaoxiao saw it all but said nothing more. Instead, the woman whose chin she was pinching began to tearfully lose her strength.
With a cry, the woman could no longer hold back her tears. As she cried, other women who had the same experience also started crying.
Seeing that she no longer had any doubts, Ye Xiaoxiao asked the doctor to give her some simple treatment before she stood up.
"Fellow villagers, I know that reputation is very important to a woman."
"But what you've suffered today is not your fault. You shouldn't punish yourself for the mistakes of others."
"I still say that I failed to protect you. It's your fault that you men are cowards."
"If they treat you badly because of this in the future, you can just leave them."
"But think about it, if you die, your parents will be heartbroken, and your children will be miserable."
"So, even if it's not for yourself, you should live well."
"Besides, don't you want to see the beautiful life after the disaster?"
Ye Xiaoxiao stood upright in the crowd, forming a sharp contrast with the victims.
But at this moment, in the hearts of these women, Ye Xiaoxiao's image is much taller than her height.
"The Queen is right. We must live well, respect our parents, and take care of our children."
"We must rebuild our homes and live happily, so that our lives will not be in vain."
The women were infected by Ye Xiaoxiao and were full of hope to survive again.
Ye Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then followed Shangguan Lingyun back to the front.
"Fellow villagers, I have read your complaints and I know the situation of this case."
"Today, you are all reunited with great difficulty. I have invited a doctor for you. Let's take them to treat their wounds first."
"If you are all well, please go back first."
"If you are homeless, you can go to the porridge stall to get some food, and then return to the government compound to rest."
"As for the construction of the river channel, I will inform you separately."
After Shangguan Lingyun finished speaking, he announced the adjournment of the court. However, after the adjournment, many disaster victims still stayed temporarily.
It’s not that they don’t want to leave, but their home is gone and they have nowhere to go even if they want to leave.
After Shangguan Lingyun finished speaking, he took Ye Xiaoxiao back to the inner hall.
After waiting for a while, Dalin and others came back one after another.
Shangguan Lingyun saw that almost everyone had arrived, and then he began to arrange the follow-up matters.
"There are several urgent things that need to be done right now."
"First, the river. If it's not repaired soon, it's likely to cause flooding again."
"Secondly, there is housing for the victims. Many of them have had their homes destroyed and have nowhere to go for the time being."
"Before, I could live in the cell, which was a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
"But now that we are here, we absolutely cannot allow them to continue living in the cell."
"So, next, we have to find a place for them to live as soon as possible."
"Dalin, how long can the silver in the granary and warehouse last?"
Dalin's face didn't look very good when he heard that, and he hesitated for a long time before replying.
"Excluding the city guard's private treasury, there isn't much silver in the government's treasury."
"The food in the granary is all inferior, barely enough to fill our stomachs, and can only last for three days at most."
"There are many wealthy merchants in the city. Seeing that Your Majesty and Your Majesty are here, they are offering symbolic porridge, but it cannot solve any real problems. It will only last for three more days at most."
"Building a home requires money, labor, and even more materials."
"But now, because of the disaster, prices of everything have gone up, especially food. I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to deal with."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and Shangguan Lingyun snorted coldly.
