Chapter 117 Xu Tian's Change
"Through this ginger soup donation, we have seen which people we cannot use for our own benefit and which ones we can."
Lord Chen nodded in agreement. They had already discussed this when they were administering the ginger soup. Chen Xue and the guards would observe the prisoners to see which ones were worth using.
In this process, one can see these people's personalities from their behavior. For example, some people threatened their wives and daughters to bring ginger soup to them.
Or he would hold the child in his arms and let his wife bring out the ginger soup, and then drink it himself while pretending to feed it to the child.
Some people drink the ginger soup, pretend to fall, pretend that the ginger soup is gone, and want another bowl.
Chen Xue saw it at the time, but did not step forward to stop it. After all, it was just a bowl of ginger soup. She also wanted to see how other people would behave when they saw these people's reactions.
Sure enough, someone saw the woman's behavior and imitated her, pretending to fall and drop the ginger soup, and then hitting another bowl.
Others knew that there was only one bowl of ginger soup, but there were two children, a boy and a girl, so they gave the ginger soup to their sons.
Of course, there were some good performances as well.
Some women, knowing that there was only one bowl of ginger soup, gave it to their children.
If there are multiple children, let them each drink a few sips to ensure that they are treated equally.
Therefore, the performance of these people was remembered by Chen Xue and others.
To this end, Chen Xue also spent her contribution points to exchange for a small camera to record the actions of these people so as not to forget them later.
Therefore, this distribution of ginger soup is very meaningful, not only because it helps us know who can use it and who cannot.
He even won over a group of people.
"Master Chen..."
Xu Tian suddenly ran over again, "We are facing a big problem now. The prisoners are short of clothes..."
Although it is not snowing now, the temperature is still very low and everyone is wearing thin clothes.
But fortunately, many people drank ginger soup and gathered around the fire. This is not the point. The point is, what if it snows again at night?
Besides, what do they do when they are in a hurry?
When traveling, it is impossible to walk holding a fire. At that time, these people are wearing thin clothes and will get frostbite if they don't freeze to death.
If you catch a cold, you're done.
In this day and age, colds are like incurable diseases.
If you are lucky, you can make it through, but if you are unlucky, it’s all over.
I can only hope to be born into a good family in the next life.
"Hey, who is the captain?" Chen Xue rolled her eyes. "If you ask my dad about everything, what's the point of having you as the captain?"
Although Xu Tian treats the Chen family well, the Chen family hopes that Xu Tian can grow up and at least be able to stand on his own feet without having to ask them for everything.
Although this is good for the Chen family, after all, Xu Tian listens to them, so they have the final say over the entire exile team.
But at the same time, they have secrets and often need to enter the space. If Xu Tian comes to ask them about everything, then what secrets can they have?
When Xu Tian heard what Chen Xue said, he felt embarrassed. It seemed that it was true. He had to rely on Lord Chen for everything. Wasn't he a little useless?
So he lowered his head and began to think.
"The team will rest here. I will send someone to Wen County to buy some clothes, and then we will continue our journey."
Soon, Xu Tian came up with a solution. This place was too far from the next county town, and the closest one was Wen County.
Unless he could turn into clothes out of thin air, he would have to go back to the county town to buy clothes for so many people.
"Then how do you plan to do it?" Lord Chen asked back, "With so many people wearing clothes, if each person gets one, that would cost hundreds of pieces. Are you planning to pay for it yourself?"
"I……"
Xu Tian was stunned. He really thought so, but when he touched his pocket, it seemed that he did not have enough money.
So he turned to look at Lord Chen and Chen Xue.
"I don't have any money to lend you." Chen Xue interrupted him before he could even start. "My dad is broke, how can he lend you any money?"
Lending money to Xu Tian to buy clothes for the prisoners, what's the difference between this and being a kind-hearted person? Not only are these prisoners ungrateful, but they will continue to ask for it the next time they need something. If you don't give it to them, I'm afraid they will turn against you.
If Xu Tian falls, it will only bring harm and no benefit to their family.
"Too!"
Xu Tian nodded, and then he remembered that Lord Chen was penniless, and suddenly he felt a headache.
Master Chen reminded him at the right time, "Go find those prisoners and tell them that you plan to go back to the county to help them buy clothes, and let them pay for what they want."
"Will they be willing?" Xu Tian hesitated.
"If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, just leave it in the cold." Chen Xue curled her lips. "Didn't you figure it out before? You should be tough when you need to be tough."
"What if no one is willing to pay?" Xu Tian said helplessly, "It's impossible not to buy anything!"
"No." Chen Xue shook her head. "They know your character, so your reputation is a golden sign. They will agree, unless they are desperate."
Xu Tian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Chen Xue and her father turned around and got into the carriage.
Xu Tian wanted to chase after him, but the guards stopped him. He could only watch Lord Chen get into the carriage and disappear from his sight.
He did not blame Lord Chen, because he knew that Lord Chen left just to let him make his own decision.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, gathered the prisoners together, briefly explained the situation, and then he spoke loudly.
"Winter is here, and it's snowing. I'm afraid it's going to get even colder. I plan to send someone to the county town to buy some clothes."
When everyone heard this, they cheered, "Great!"
"but……"
Xu Tian changed the subject and hesitated for a while before speaking, "You have to pay for the clothes yourself."
"Why?"
Li Ming jumped out and said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you let us go out on our own? You are the yamen runners, you should have prepared our clothes."
As soon as this was said, many people echoed, "That's right, you have already taken all our money, how can we still have money?"
"That's right, you still have the nerve to ask for money, how shameless."
Everyone was talking at once, and it was obvious that they all felt that no money should be charged, and Xu Tian should pay for it himself.
When Xu Tian saw this situation, he said that he had expected it, but he did not fully expect that no one would support him.
He is neither a fool nor a saint. He has been kind time and time again, but this is the reward he gets in return. How can he not be angry?
So, he said angrily, "If you want something, buy it yourself, otherwise you will have to figure out how to make it to Nanman!"
After saying that, he left and never looked back no matter what these people said.
When everyone saw Xu Tian leave angrily, they looked at each other, and then some regretted it and even blamed Li Ming.
They chased after it and said that they could pay for it. After all, compared with life, this little money was nothing.
If Xu Tian gets angry and doesn't buy it for them, it would be a waste of time.
