597. Chapter 597



It was just an ordinary sentence, not even any inspiring words, but to these soldiers who had experienced injury, fear, despair and helplessness, it was the most heartwarming sentence. They were just ordinary soldiers, asking for nothing else, and had no great ambitions, only peace and food and clothing, which was enough.

"Madam, you have given us a place to stay and enough food to eat. This is already very rare. I am very grateful to you."

"Don't be grateful to me. Although I am willing to give you a place to live, if you want to live a good life, you have to create it with your own labor and hands."

Everyone understood what Su Wenyue meant, but they were still grateful. Those who were able to stay were of good character. At least no major problems occurred during this period of time, so Han Yu allowed these people to stay with Su Wenyue. However, there is a saying that you can only know a person's face but not his heart. Maybe some people hid it too well, so no one noticed that there was anything wrong with them.

"Madam, rest assured. Before we came here, the general had already told us the rules to follow. Although we are all injured and disabled after retiring from the battlefield, we are not useless. Madam, just tell us to do whatever you want."

Su Wenyue nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, although you may have physical disabilities, as long as your mind is not disabled, you can still live a wonderful life and be a useful person."

Because of their physical disabilities, these people felt somewhat inferior and pessimistic. Su Wenyue's words not only made them feel respected, but also gave them hope. As the lady said, even if they are physically disabled, as long as their hearts are not disabled, they are useful people, even if they may not necessarily achieve brilliance.

"Madam, your words are good and kind. We have learned from them. We will do our best to serve you and repay your kindness in the future." The leader who spoke was a junior general named Wei Dong. He had a high rank and could have retired with the ordinary soldiers, but he did not want to stay in the army and drag others down, so he chose to follow Madam. At that time, he just wanted to give up on himself, but now he feels that his decision was correct. Just from Madam's previous actions and what she said today, it can be seen that Madam is an extraordinary woman. Following Madam, he might really be able to achieve something.

After Wei Dong finished speaking, the other soldiers followed suit, but no one noticed that when one of the honest-looking soldiers lowered his head, a dark light flashed in his eyes, so fast that it was invisible. In addition, he was lowering his head, so no one noticed it.

No matter how much you say now, it's all empty talk. Besides, these soldiers have suffered a blow both physically and psychologically. Su Wenyue didn't give any orders, just asked people to settle them down. No matter how much you say, it's better to give people something substantial to make them feel at ease.

"Madam had these rooms built in a hurry. Due to limited conditions, we can only do this. They are not very good and not very big, but they can shelter you from the wind and rain and provide you with a place to stay. As you can see, even Madam herself lives in a small courtyard with two entrances. I hope you will not be dissatisfied or complain about this. If there is anything missing, please let us know. As long as it is not too much, Madam has instructed us to do our best to meet your needs."

Everyone looked at the blue brick and tile house in front of them. Although it was not magnificent, they were not rich masters. This was already a very comfortable place for them to live. It was many times more comfortable than living in a tent. Even if they lived in their previous homes, it was rarely better than this. What else could they be dissatisfied with? If they were dissatisfied, they would be ungrateful. As Lieutenant Fang said, the lady didn't owe them anything. It was already kind to give them a place to live.

"Miss Xiaoxi, this is already very good. I used to live in mud houses in the village, covered with thatch. When it rained, it leaked everywhere. I have never lived in such a nice blue brick and tile house in my life. I didn't expect to live in such a good house. If I complain again, I will be heartless and worse than pigs and dogs. My mother said that people should cherish their blessings, otherwise they will be taken away by heaven."

The man who spoke was a simple and honest man. He had brothers and a mother at home. Because he was disabled, he didn't want to go back and burden his family, so he chose to stay. He thought that the conditions and restrictions proposed by the lady at that time, plus the rumors, he was afraid that life here would not be easy and he would just live a miserable life. He never expected that the lady would be so friendly to them today.

Because of their disabilities, everyone looked at them with either sympathy or contempt, but the lady treated them like ordinary people and let them live in such a good place. The servants in the mansion were also very kind to them, as if they were truly her own family.

So when he heard Xiaoxi's words, he immediately expressed his excitement and spoke out his thoughts, which were also the thoughts of most people present.

Xiaoxi felt sorry for the injured soldiers because of the rumors that had hurt his wife. Later, he felt more angry and disgusted, so his attitude was not very enthusiastic. However, because of his wife's instructions, he did not show it on his face. Now, after hearing the man's words and seeing everyone like this, he felt a little better.

Xiaoxi was not a cruel person, and her life experience was pitiful. After a few words, her attitude towards the wounded soldiers became much better, and a smile appeared on her face, which made the wounded soldiers feel even warmer.

They all knew that Xiaoxi was the Madam's valued maidservant, and she could still treat them like this. It was true that like master, like servant. The Madam was so kind-hearted that the maidservants around her were also good.

"Miss Xiaoxi, you've worked hard today. We already know everything we need to know. We are all grown men, not children. We can take care of ourselves. Go and have a rest. You must be tired after being busy for so long."

"Well, I'll go back first. Madam is still waiting for me to go back. I'm afraid she's worried about whether you guys are settled. I have to go and tell Madam. You guys should rest early after you're settled. You don't have to do anything for the next two days. Madam said you guys probably didn't get enough rest these days. You can take these two days as a rest. You can work well only when you're in good condition. The emperor doesn't lack hungry soldiers. As for meals, someone will deliver them to you on time."

While Xiaoxi was talking, Su Wenyue sent someone to deliver some medicine: "Madam said that the conditions in the military camp are not good, and there are many injured people. You can't go to the battlefield again. I'm afraid you won't get much. I'm afraid your injuries haven't healed completely. These medicines were bought by Madam at a high price. They are quite effective. She asked me to deliver them to you."
