The others also sighed. They had thought that things would get better after enduring this period of time, but who knew that the amount of relief distributed by the court was so little. How could such a small amount of food be enough for this family of old and young?
Even if I cook porridge with water, it won’t satisfy my hunger.
The potatoes that Jiang Xueying gave them had long been eaten up by them. Even if they went to the mountains to find wild vegetables, they did not have the strength to do so. It was estimated that all the wild vegetables had been dug up.
Just when everyone was in despair, Chen Simin entered the village the next day with a lot of supplies.
"Although these food and clothes are not much, they should be able to last for a while."
This was obviously a modest statement. The supplies Chen Simin brought were much more than those issued by the court, and there were also clothes to help them keep out the cold.
When the villagers saw these things, they were very excited. They felt that they finally saw a glimmer of hope and could live in peace. They all expressed their gratitude to Chen Simin.
"Miss Chen, you are truly a living Bodhisattva. When I get better, I will definitely offer you a longevity tablet to bless you with a long and peaceful life."
"We have to thank Miss Chen very much. Others were afraid of contracting the disease and dared not come to our village, but you came to help us and did not despise us. You even brought so many things to us. We can never repay your kindness even if we work like slaves."
Hearing these words, Chen Simin's pretty face blushed and she waved her hand quickly.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I don't want you to suffer. Any help is helpful. It's not a big deal. If we work together, we will definitely get through this difficult time."
Chen Simin's words made the eyes of all the men, women and children in the village moisten. If it were not for the situation, who would be willing to leave the place where they had lived for decades?
The villagers came forward one after another and expressed their gratitude profusely. No words could express their gratitude enough.
"Thanks to Miss Chen's help, we were able to get so many supplies. Otherwise, I really don't know how long we can last."
Seeing Chen Simin working hard for them these days, the villagers expressed their concern and asked her to take good care of herself.
After staying in the village for a few days, Chen Simin had already become friends with the villagers. It was not until Mr. Chen sent someone to urge him to go home that he remembered to go home.
With the help of Chen Simin these days, many problems have been solved one by one. Jiang Xueying looked at Chen Simin with a bright smile with gratitude until she was about to go back.
"Sister Simin, you have been very hard-working these days. It's still early, why don't I take you back?"
Chen Simin turned her head to look at Jiang Xueying, and touched Ye Xiaojin who was picking eggs, with some reluctance in her eyes.
"Oh, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly!"
Looking at Chen Simin's cute and adorable appearance, Jiang Xueying couldn't help but stroke her dark and soft hair and laughed.
"It's okay. It's very close here anyway. You can come over when you have time. You are always welcome."
The two got on the carriage that was already waiting outside the Chen family. Along the way, Chen Simin excitedly told Jiang Xueying about what she had seen and heard in the village during this period. It was obvious that she was very happy in the village.
After getting off the carriage, I just heard the faint sound of servants welcoming Master Chen back to the mansion. Could it be that Master Chen is back?
The servant guarding the door saw his young lady coming back, and immediately rushed over happily, telling her the news that Master Chen had returned.
"Miss, the master just returned home, and he was still mumbling about where you were going!"
When Chen Simin heard the news that her father had returned, she was immediately delighted. Thinking that Jiang Xueying had not seen her father yet, she immediately pulled Jiang Xueying inside.
This time, the Chen family has done so much for the village and donated so many supplies. Jiang Xueying should visit Mr. Chen out of both emotion and reason.
"Dad, Dad, you are finally back. Come here, let me introduce you. This is my good sister Jiang Xueying. She saved my life."
Her tone was full of excitement, and it was obvious that she hadn't met Mr. Chen for a long time.
"And didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to meet the guy who promoted the French fries? I found him."
She deliberately drew out her tone, looking at her father's shocked expression with excitement.
"That's her. Isn't she amazing?"
Mr. Chen looked at Chen Simin lovingly, his eyes full of kindness. After hearing her last words, he shifted his gaze to Jiang Xueying standing on the other side, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that the person who made such a good thing would be such a young woman.
"Really? I didn't expect the boss to be so young. I've been thinking about the French fries you made since I ate them once. And potatoes are also good. They have a high yield and are easy to grow. They are good food for the people."
He closed his eyes, as if he was savoring the taste of French fries, his face showing a look of enjoyment, and when he looked at Jiang Xueying again, his eyes were full of admiration.
"Those French fries tasted really good. I didn't expect you to be able to make such delicious food at such a young age, and you have such a good business sense."
"Mr. Chen, thank you for your compliment. I discovered this potato by accident. I wanted to promote it widely because I valued its many benefits. French fries were also made on a whim. After trying it several times and finding it very delicious, I decided to promote it to everyone to try and see how they feel. I didn't expect it to be so popular."
"As for business acumen, it is also learned from the business methods of the older generation and then figured it out myself. There are still many business skills to learn from Master Chen."
Seeing Mr. Chen and Jiang Xueying chatting happily, Chen Simin was not unhappy about being ignored. She listened to their conversation happily, and her admiration for Jiang Xueying grew more and more.
At this time, a man walked in.
When Master Chen saw the newcomer, he smiled and introduced her, "Miss Jiang, this is the housekeeper, Master Meng."
"Hello, Miss Jiang. I am the steward of the Chen Mansion."
"Hello, Manager Meng!"
The two of them greeted each other politely, and Manager Meng seemed very approachable.
Master Meng was just about to talk to Master Chen when he was suddenly startled and stared at the sudden spot on Jiang Xueying's face.
"Miss Jiang, please forgive me for being rude, but is this birthmark on your face caused by poisoning?"
Jiang Xueying looked at Master Meng in surprise. She had long known that the spots on her face were caused by poisoning, and had tried to treat it, but with little success. But today, someone could tell that it was caused by poisoning just by looking at the spots. Could it be...
When Chen Simin heard that the birthmark on Jiang Xueying's face was caused by poisoning, she was surprised and a little worried.
"Uncle Meng, can you help Sister Jiang detoxify?"
