Suddenly, the world descended into chaos.
Poor people are most afraid of getting sick. Without money, they can only act as their own healers and save themselves. However, they only know folk remedies from hearsay, and they can't always be cured by chance.
If they couldn't make it through, anyone who wanted to live would go to see a doctor.
But this time the weather changed too quickly and came on fiercely, and the disease came on fiercely as well. Not to mention those without money, even the rich got infected!
People were queuing up to see a doctor; every place that could prescribe medicine and provide medical care was packed!
This time it wasn't just a runny nose; it was accompanied by symptoms like diarrhea and dizziness, so I couldn't ignore it.
News also came from the other side that the worst had happened: there were many casualties, mostly from poor families, especially those living in low-lying areas that were easily washed away by the flood.
The government actively stepped in to handle the situation, but the sky was overcast, rain was falling intermittently, the roads were muddy, and the wind had blown over many things. As far as the eye could see, it was a scene of chaos!
Su Nanxi didn't have time to worry about much; she was also extremely busy. The storm wasn't just blowing against others, but against her too, especially since she owned quite a few businesses, although they had been developed covertly. But now that this situation had arisen, she had to step in and deal with it.
Fortunately, there wasn't much loss. She had insisted from the beginning that everything must be of high quality, not only the products and services, but also the venue!
She's having a bit of a headache with her big garden because it's not completely finished yet, just a tiny bit short, and that tiny bit is causing her a lot of trouble.
The remedy took even more time, effort, and money!
She had to readjust and keep looking for better solutions!
When she was finally able to sit down and rest for a while, Xiao Han ran over and said that some families in the village had lost their houses and had nowhere to live, and some of them had fallen ill. They wanted to stay at the Mo family's house because there were few people at home in the Mo family.
What did my parents say?
Su Nanxi asked wearily. She had been searching for information, thinking about various things, and running around observing and weighing things. It was indeed quite tiring.
"They didn't dare agree, saying they needed to ask you first. They would only lend the house to them temporarily if you agreed! After all, the family consists of elderly and young people, and it would be a big problem if they caught any illnesses! Also, the house is full of your things, and they didn't want anyone to touch them, so they thought it was better to ask first!"
Su Nanxi rubbed her temples, took a sip of hot tea, and then she had to get her brain working again.
After Xiao Han finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, nor did he rush for Su Nanxi's reply. He simply waited quietly.
Seeing how tired Su Nanxi was, I felt bad and regretted rushing over to talk about it. Couldn't I have waited until later?
The master hasn't had much rest these days, he's exhausted. He just had a chance to sit down, he should rest a bit more!
He suddenly remembered that his master had given him some medicinal herbs to brew, saying that they could relieve fatigue. He had tried them and they were indeed very effective. He would prepare some for his master later!
It seems the master doesn't remember, or is too busy to bother with me!
He should do more for his master and share the burden so that his master won't be so tired!
Xuan Yi and the other two have already been sent out by their master and are not by his side. Only he and Yan Feng remain by their master's side, and he has a responsibility to share their burdens!
He's also gotten in touch with his father, and I reckon his master will be even busier soon!
Things need to be dealt with, but health also needs to be taken care of!
Xiao Han thought a lot, his mind filled with how to relieve his master's worries, so that she wouldn't be so tired and could have more time to rest!
After Su Nanxi finished thinking, she drank a few sips of hot tea and recovered. She felt better and spoke louder.
“Our family doesn’t have many houses, unlike the old Mo family mansion. We don’t have many things inside, but considering that my sister-in-law might come back to take care of her baby after childbirth, it’s inconvenient for us to let her stay. Our family consists of the elderly and young, and we can’t help much. This disease has come on very suddenly, and the doctors don’t have any effective treatment. They can only try to prevent the spread of the virus. So, we won’t lend her our place! But we can organize the village’s resources to help them build temporary shelter and help them get through this difficult time.”
Xiao Han thought it made sense. Helping others is within one's ability, and people will instinctively think of their own family first!
Everyone looks out for themselves!
Master's method is feasible!
Help as much as you can without disrupting your own life!
"Go and take care of it. At times like these, those with money should contribute money, and those without should contribute their time and effort. Let's all contribute something, but keep a low profile and don't make a fuss!"
Su Nanxi handed the matter over to Xiao Han to handle; she wasn't able to get away so quickly.
It was meant to be a good thing, to help those through difficult times, but there are always people who are ungrateful and don't know how to appreciate it!
"Doesn't the Mo family have a house ready-made? Why can't they let us stay temporarily? It's not like we're staying long-term. We'll move out naturally once we get through this difficult time! Anyway, the Mo family's house is just sitting empty anyway, and they're only back for a few days at a time!"
"Yes! It'll be a long time before the temporary shelter is ready! Aren't we going to freeze to death? Look at us, shivering from the cold, unable to eat or sleep properly! The children are all huddled together, so pitiful! Can't we just come inside and warm up? The Mo family is so heartless and has no compassion!"
"Exactly! I think the Mo family just doesn't want to help, so they came up with that excuse! It's something that could be solved directly, but they insist on waiting and expecting us to come and help build it together! We're so cold we can barely stretch our arms, we wish we could just bury our heads in our bellies! Isn't this making things difficult for us? Can't they see that?"
These people were resentful and didn't want to help, even if it was for their own benefit. They were unwilling because the Mo family had said they would organize the villagers to help them and build them a temporary large shelter. They were just waiting!
Xiao Han's face darkened upon hearing this. Showing no mercy, he retorted directly, "Our Mo family owes you nothing. Don't take it for granted. If you think it's what the Mo family should do, then all your work is suspended! What does it have to do with our Mo family that you have nowhere to live? Is it our Mo family's fault? You just want to reap the benefits without sowing. You dream of everything. Go to sleep!"
Xiao Han didn't tolerate those people. He immediately stopped them. They were workers he had hired. He paid them a day's wages and told them they didn't need to work anymore and could go home.
On the way back, just pile the timber by the roadside.
Having done all that neatly and efficiently, Xiao Han left just as decisively, without any hesitation!
Everyone present was stunned!
The village chief was among them, and he was furious. What a bunch of clueless idiots!
The Mo family put in both money and effort, and still got no credit!
Now that's bad, how are we going to clean this up?
Are the Mo family members so easy to mess with?
"My old problem has flared up again; my back hurts terribly, so I can't do any heavy work. I'm going home now!"
