Chapter 341: Free porridge?
"It's a drought now, where can we get surplus food?" Zuo Haiyan's eyes fell on the clothes of the woman in front of him, and he said expressionlessly, "Besides, Lingnan didn't provide free porridge before. Refugees had to make ropes to exchange for it."
"Then what should we do? Just let us starve like this?" The woman didn't really want to drink the porridge the refugees were eating. She just wanted to drink fruit tea and wanted to get into the city earlier.
But seeing that the few troublemakers were all put at the back of the line, bribery was no longer an option.
She wanted to build a relationship with the female doctor in front of her.
"Come to think of it, your wife and I are old acquaintances! When she was in the capital, she used to play with me often!
We've been rushing here from the capital for several days, and we haven't had a proper meal on the way. Your wife would be upset if she knew how much hardship I've endured along the way. Could you please be kind enough not to tell your wife about this, so she doesn't feel bad about it?"
Thinking about how she and her best friend had mocked Jiang Tangang for being too fat and ugly and bullied her, Liao Xueqiong felt a little regretful.
If she had known this day would come, she would not have bullied her and would have established a good relationship with her.
However, although she had a bad relationship with Jiang Tangtang in the past, it did not affect her from taking advantage of the female doctor to seek benefits for herself.
Unfortunately, Zuo Haiyan remained unmoved by her various hints and only examined her according to the rules. "You don't have an epidemic disease, so you don't need to go to the quarantine village. Please step aside and don't interfere with my treatment of the remaining patients."
She is just a lowly female doctor, yet she dares to act so arrogantly in front of her. She is totally ignorant.
Liao Xueqiong was extremely angry, but helpless. In the end, she could only glare at Zuo Haiyan hatefully and turned away.
Like Liao Xueqiong, there are many people who want to use the fact that they are old acquaintances with Jiang Tangtang to seek benefits for themselves.
But the results were all the same, just like Liao Xueqiong, they all failed.
Some people used this euphemistic method to ask for benefits, while others shouted that they were hungry and thirsty and asked why they didn't give them porridge.
At this moment, Jiang Tangtang was also thinking about how to settle these people from the capital.
She was naturally willing to help the truly helpless refugees, but she was unwilling to give away food for free to the wealthy and meritorious families in the capital.
On the other side, Lu Shiyan had already brought people to deliver the medicinal herbs and food that Jiang Tangtang had hidden earlier.
Several sites that were intended to be used as quarantine villages were also vacated.
Lin Jingyue looked for someone to pass a message to Lu Shiyan, saying that she wanted to meet him. Although Lin Jingyue had not been optimistic about Lu Shiyan before, he still had some ability.
However, Lingnan is currently facing a shortage of talent.
Not to mention Lu Shiyan, even Jiang Tangtang wanted to win over these people and work for them in the future.
But in order to win over these people and make them willingly serve them, they have to strike the right balance.
People cannot meet too early, but also cannot meet too late.
After hearing the soldier's words again, Jiang Tangtang looked at Lu Shiyan and asked, "When do you plan to kill him?"
"No rush." Lu Shiyan said, "Let's discuss the resettlement of so many refugees first."
Jiang Tangtang said, "My idea is that neither the medicine nor the food can be eaten for free. They must be paid for. However, if a patient cannot afford the medical bills, they can temporarily waive the payment. However, the money they spend on their treatment and meals must be repaid to the government when they are able to repay."
