At this moment, she recalled the look in Pei Xuan's eyes when he last spoke to her, a look filled with disdain and contempt, as if he didn't want to say another word to her.
Given time, if Lord Pei were to find out that Xu Yuehuai had also donated all her money, things would probably change.
Zhou Wan nodded, then pondered for a moment and said, "Not a single penny left?"
"What should we keep? Donate it all. As for the agate and white jade, find a shop to pawn them. I'll ask the county magistrate to see what we can do..." At this point, Zhou Wan, who was as meticulous as dust, grabbed her hand. "Mother, we must do this ourselves, otherwise we don't know who will get the money."
“It’s not that the daughter-in-law doesn’t trust anyone, it’s just that people’s hearts are wicked. Since we’re doing a good deed, Milk Sniper should go all the way.”
Xu Yuehuai admired Zhou Wan's attention to detail.
Everyone can see her vulgarity and her cowardice, but few people know that Zhou Wan is actually a very opinionated person.
“I’ll ask them for the data, and once I see it, I’ll know how to help based on the population size.”
"Go quickly."
Xu Yuehuai and Zhou Wan came out from inside, and before they even returned to the house, they heard a commotion. It turned out that A Qi was arguing with Liu Cuiming. In fact, Liu Cuiming's daily routine in this group was to bicker with everyone.
Therefore, even if it was extremely noisy, Xu Yuehuai didn't think it was a big deal.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is a government office."
Xu Yuehuai shouted.
Neither of them spoke. Ah Qi sullenly crossed her arms and looked at Liu Cuiming with an arrogant air. Liu Cuiming gritted her teeth, her chest heaving violently, clearly also full of anger.
Seeing that Xu Yuehuai had arrived, Aqi pointed to the opposite side.
"Liu Cuiming wants a share of the money."
"Sharing the money?" Xu Yuehuai pointed to the large box on the ground. "That was a reward from the imperial court. What does it have to do with you?"
“I am your aunt,” Liu Cuiming looked at Xu Yuehuai in surprise. “This is gold, and there are priceless jewels inside. I don’t need much. Just give me five hundred taels of silver and I’ll be done with it. From now on, I won’t know who you are.”
"Five hundred taels of silver?" Xu Yuehuai scoffed. "I'll give you some ghost money instead of five hundred taels of silver."
"how?"
Liu Cuiming immediately gave him a pitiful look and grumbled pitifully, "As your aunt, you have so many things, and you can't even give me five hundred taels? It's just a drop in the ocean, is that not enough?"
Hearing this, Jiang Mingfu and his family across the street were also deeply worried.
What's going on?
Does this mean I won't get a single penny?
“These funds have all been claimed, so don’t worry about them,” Xu Yuehuai said, turning to look at Zhou Wan. “She’s now the accountant, and I will keep track of every penny and give it to the people. As for us, five hundred taels will be enough for us to live on.”
"My God!" Jiang Mingfu and Zhou Qionghua were both stunned.
Zhou Qionghua wanted to pinch her philtrum; she couldn't believe there were such strange people in the world.
"You don't want this real gold and silver?"
"I don't want it anymore, why?" Xu Yuehuai laughed, "Even if a fortune is spent, it will come back again."
Come to think of it, she really enjoys seeing these guys' weird expressions, hahaha.
The more embarrassed, frightened, and confused they are, the happier I am.
"Ah Qi, protect the money box. Only Zhou Wan is allowed to get close. If anyone else gets close, teach them a lesson." After Xu Yuehuai finished speaking, she went to the bedside to rest.
Everyone was extremely surprised.
Jiang Shichen, however, approached with a smile, saying, "Grandma is quite remarkable."
"What's the big deal? Everyone for me, and I for everyone. Giving roses to others leaves a lingering fragrance on your own hands."
"Grandma, you command my utmost respect. Let bygones be bygones. I have no grudges against you anymore. I hope you will continue to do so in the future." Jiang Shichen looked at Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai gave him a light tap on the head and couldn't help but laugh. She felt ashamed of everything her host had done for her and her son.
No wonder Jiang Shichen didn't like her at all after she transmigrated.
“I was wrong before. I was selfish and hurt you. Now I am on the path of reform.”
"That's great."
He smiled.
Xu Yuehuai also smiled.
Zhou Wan quickly compiled the list and showed it to Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai discovered that Zhou Wan was a master at managing the household. With such a large population and so many areas, she managed to keep everything perfectly organized. As Xu Yuehuai looked at the place names, Zhou Wan introduced them, "This is Heping County. Look here, this is Wuming County."
"From Heping County to Wuming County, and Tonggu County, Fengzhou, and here..."
These rewards were thought to be enough, but for tens of millions of ordinary people, they are just a drop in the ocean.
As Xu Yuehuai watched, a feeling of unease settled in her heart.
As for Zhou Wan, she had already discussed it with the people in the government office. "The reason I contacted them was because I was worried that we might encounter some bandits. They all know that the court has rewarded you, and it would be bad if they robbed us along the way."
Xu Yuehuai nodded, "That's why you need to practice martial arts regularly."
"Grandma, we're all learning." Jiang Shichen and Jiang Qianqian smiled.
Xu Yuehuai said, "How can it be accomplished overnight? Martial arts training is very hard and requires daily hard work. Go on."
The two children then left.
Zhou Wan had handled everything perfectly, requiring no reminders or suggestions from Xu Yuehuai.
The next day, the carriage left the government office, and Xu Yuehuai went to the farthest county, Heping. The people there were indeed pitiful. Xu Yuehuai gave the copper coins to the villagers, and they were extremely grateful.
All the money was gone in one day.
Xu Yuehuai looked at Zhou Wan and laughed, "It's better to be poor, then you don't have to worry about your money being taken away by some wolves and tigers."
Zhou Wan agreed wholeheartedly and smiled.
Upon arriving at the government office, Xu Yuehuai made a plan, which was no different from the previous one: to go to the capital, Chang'an.
Everyone was ready to go.
The carriage departed from the yamen and exited the long street. Xu Yuehuai looked back at this place that was both strange and familiar.
"I'm still a little reluctant to leave."
“Yes!” Liu Cuiming immediately retorted sarcastically, “You wasted so much money, and no one even came to see you off. You’ll never forget it. Those guys are all ingrates. Who would remember you?”
Xu Yuehuai rolled her eyes at Liu Cuiming.
She does good deeds for all people, for the poor souls who perished in the mines.
For the millions of unsung heroes, and for their broken families, that's all.
Liu Cuiming, who was petty and narrow-minded, had no such mindset and completely ignored her.
However, at that very moment, many people arrived, bringing with them dry food and fruit. They rushed forward to thank Xu Yuehuai, their ears filled with gratitude. Looking at this large group of people, Xu Yuehuai's heart softened considerably.
