Seeing her like this, Xiao Zhan felt very happy. He picked up the tea beside him, took a sip, and looked at Jiang Wei with a smile on his lips.
Jiang Wei: "......." Let them laugh all they want!
Song Yanxuan's shouts were unpleasant, and Qingfeng frowned in disgust; he hadn't even used eight-tenths of his strength yet.
Song Yanxuan's expression changed repeatedly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "How dare you, a lowly servant, treat me like this? Let me go or I'll kill your whole family."
Qingfeng smiled disdainfully, unconcerned. "I'm the only one in my family." Go ahead and kill me.
Finally, they chased this annoying thing to the entrance of Mingyu Pavilion. Qingfeng kicked him in the butt and said, "Go on, you're welcome."
Song Yanxuan stumbled and fell out the door. Qingfeng clapped his hands and said, "Done."
Not long after, Xiao Zhan and Jiang Wei also came out.
After Jiang Wei's carriage left, Xiao Zhan also rode away.
Jiang Wei originally didn't plan to go back to An Sheng Ji, but after visiting Granny Hua's house, she had a new plan.
She needs to go to An Sheng Ji first, and then see Doctor Mo.
People still went to An Sheng Ji to buy food, but there were far fewer people, and no one came to cause trouble.
Seeing Jiang Wei's carriage parked outside, the shopkeeper came out from inside and said, "The master is back."
He had a smile on his face, completely unlike the sorrow he had felt when he first arrived.
Jiang smiled and nodded at him, "Manager, you need to take stock of all our cotton and send it out tomorrow."
"Yes." The shopkeeper nodded in response, then looked up again, "Huh?"
Jiang Wei led the innkeeper into the inner room, a room used for receiving guests and settling accounts. She had him sit down and then asked Lian Sang to pour her another cup of tea.
The shopkeeper's smile vanished as soon as it appeared on his face. He wasn't questioning his employer's abilities, but rather that his employer's thinking was so unconventional that he couldn't keep up.
The shopkeeper brought the tea to his lips, wanting to take a sip but then felt he couldn't drink it all. He couldn't help but look at Jiang Wei and ask, "Why is this, boss? Although our grain and charcoal business doesn't make money, I know you're kind-hearted and admirable, but to give it away for free..." He was somewhat puzzled.
After all, she's running a business, not a charity. If she really does that, who knows how many people won't grab it tomorrow, and how much will actually be available if people really need it?
There's no doubt that trouble will arise.
"Of course it's not free." Jiang Wei seemed to understand what the shopkeeper was worried about and explained, "Everyone who comes to buy grain, charcoal, or cotton with their household registration documents must meet the following requirements."
Jiang Wei paused for a moment and then said, "First, there are no adult males registered in their household registration. Second, although this cotton is a gift, it can also be said to be a loan to them. Once this winter is over and life is better, the money will still have to be paid. You can spread this message in a bit."
These measures will reduce the number of people trying to take shortcuts and ensure that the cotton reaches those who truly need it. As for expecting them to repay the debt after things have calmed down, that's just an excuse.
After listening to Jiang Wei's words, the shopkeeper went out to prepare seriously. Since few people in this area were literate, he wrote a notice and posted it outside the shop.
After Jiang Wei explained the situation, she asked the shop assistant to pack up some grain, charcoal, and cotton, and also two bolts of cloth, and to deliver them to Granny Hua and Granny Yang.
Once you know, there's no reason to ignore it.
After the shopkeeper made the arrangements, Jiang Wei left with Lian Sang.
He then instructed his men to spread the word to everyone they met. The men who were men of quick wit were quick to spread the word, and soon the matter was clearly known.
About an hour later, someone appeared at the entrance of An Sheng Ji restaurant, wanting to find out if it was true.
The men all confirmed that it was true.
When the goods were delivered, Granny Hua had just returned home. She stayed at Granny Yang's house for a while, chatting with Granny Yang for a bit before returning home.
"What did you say? These are gifts for us?" Granny Yang looked at the cart full of things in disbelief.
There was grain, charcoal, cloth, and cotton.
The shop assistant helped her unload the items and carry them inside. "Yes, the owner said you can use them first, and you can go directly to her if you need anything."
Granny Yang was at a loss when she saw these things. In her eyes, they were not just piles of silver, but also a life-saving grace, all because of the shopkeeper's words.
Granny Yang covered her face and wept uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face. How could she possibly repay such a good employer?
The little girl looked at her grandmother. She didn't understand why her grandmother was crying. They had so many things now, enough to eat and wear, so why was her grandmother still crying?
When they had no food to cook before, Grandma told them not to cry and to be strong no matter how difficult it was.
The girl's gaze was fixed on the brand-new fabric. Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her dress, then rubbed it against the fabric. She reached out to touch the new material, but pulled back just before her hand touched it, afraid of getting it dirty.
Their eyes were full of affection. The sister who came today was so kind; no one had ever been so good to them before.
The boy's eyes also sparkled as he looked at the things; he thought he could finally have a full meal.
At around eleven years old, a time when he should be growing, he was pitiful and could only eat a bowl of plain porridge for each meal, and he was already starving.
Seeing how eager the two children were, and looking at her sickly daughter-in-law on the bed, Granny Yang decided to cook a meal for everyone that night.
Grandma Yang wiped away her tears, asked her grandson and granddaughter to help put the things away, and then went to cook.
Jiang Wei lifted the carriage curtain; the carriage had already stopped at Baicao Mansion.
