Chapter 1777 The United People of Chenggu County
Shu Yu and Meng Han were both startled and turned to look at the source of the sound.
"It's the kitchen."
The two quickly ran to the kitchen, and as soon as they reached the door, they saw broken bowls and plates on the ground, as well as spilled white porridge.
Tao, meanwhile, squatted on the ground, staring blankly at the broken porcelain. After a moment, she suddenly covered her face and began to sob.
Meng Han was startled and quickly stepped forward to support her. "Mother, what's wrong? Are you hurt? Let me see."
Tao shook her head, then suddenly hugged her tightly, choking back tears as she said, "I'm sorry, Ahan, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
Meng Han froze. This was the first time in so many years that she had heard Tao Shi say those three words to her. Suddenly, she felt extremely wronged, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Tao's sobs grew louder and louder, as if she wanted to vent all the repression and regret she had been feeling all this time. She kept apologizing to Meng Han, "I was so foolish. I've made A-Han suffer all these years. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Blame me. I'm not worthy of being your and A-Qi's mother, and I'm not worthy of your father either."
“Mother…it’s alright, it’s alright…” Meng Han couldn’t help but cry. Even though Tao Shi had broken her heart before, she still softened when she heard her mother’s apologies.
Shu Yu stood outside the kitchen for a long time before finally leaving quietly with Ying Xi.
I also took the others who came to the kitchen after hearing the commotion away, giving them some space to be alone.
Walking under the corridor, she saw the servants of the security company shoveling snow and suddenly realized that the sun had come out. When she returned this morning, the snow had gradually lessened, and now as far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of white.
However, although the snow stopped, trouble followed closely behind.
In the county town, the roofs of many people's houses collapsed. The town had already suffered from the burning and looting by the rebels, and some houses had collapsed more than halfway. Many people could only hastily repair their houses and find temporary shelter.
Unexpectedly, a heavy snowfall caused the flimsy roof to collapse instantly.
Fortunately, the heavy snow fell during the day, and everyone had made some preparations in advance to be on the safe side. Xia Yi had also arranged accommodations for them in advance.
Therefore, although some people were injured, no one died.
The people, who were already struggling to make ends meet, felt powerless in the face of their collapsed houses.
Shu Yu went out to help settle them in, but unexpectedly, someone else got there faster than her.
Not long after she left the escort agency, she discovered that Master Yang, He Er, and others had begun to arrange for their servants to distribute porridge and medicine, and to vacate the houses in their homes where they were not currently staying for the time being.
There were many wealthy families in the city, and everyone had stored up grain. They could last for two or three months, if not a year or two. They had all had similar experiences and suffered the pain of being persecuted by bandits, so they felt a deep empathy for each other and understood the importance of helping each other for warmth.
Therefore, despite having just suffered a disaster, the people of Chenggu County were more united and harmonious than ever before.
Wealthy families provided food and clothing, while ordinary people helped shovel snow and repair houses. Those who suffered hardship comforted each other. Without the need for government organization, everyone worked together to overcome the difficulties.
These scenes brought a warm current to Chenggu County during this cold winter.
