Chapter 72 Disaster Victims



"Thank you all for your trust, neighbors. To show our appreciation, today all purchases in our store will be 50% off."

Upon hearing that Boss Shen was offering such a big discount, the people who were about to have their meal happily expressed their gratitude and walked towards the hot pot restaurant.

Finally, Jiang Ling and the others also walked upstairs.

"Boss Shen is really good at speaking and winning people over. He is indeed a businessman. Amazing!"

Jiang Ling really admires those who can curse, or curse without using any swear words.

If it were him, he would just keep repeating the same few sentences over and over again, which would be too annoying, so I would just go straight to the point.

"Hey, the girls here, one person definitely can't beat her. She needs everyone to scold her, despise her, and disgust her. Even if she's thick-skinned, she won't be able to hold on for long.

As for people speaking up for you, you should at least show some appreciation. Think of it as a big promotion, a way to give back to new and old customers."

At this time, Gu Chenfeng said angrily.

"Just beat a rude woman like that out. If she doesn't leave once, beat her again. How many times can she endure it?

It's a waste of energy, and scolding people is also a waste of energy. Next time you encounter such a situation, let me do it."

After saying that, he brought a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Yinyun.

Shen Yinyun took the teacup and took a big sip.

"Understood, Hero Gu."

Yue Qianli watched the whole process. The two people handled it differently, but both were correct and he could learn from them.

"By the way, the City Lord will definitely know about today's events. Aren't you afraid that he will cause trouble?"

Gu Chenfeng said indifferently.

"It's okay, it's just a hot pot restaurant. We are not from here and we only come here to open a shop and do business.

At worst, I can just transfer the hot pot restaurant and leave."

Shen Yinyun nodded in agreement. "Brother Feng is right. Aren't you heading north anyway?" He turned to look at Jiang Ling. "How about we go together?"

Jiang Ling didn't quite understand his train of thought.

"What? You want to go into exile with us?"

Shen Yinyun rolled his eyes. "Don't think I don't know what real exile is like. It's not as easy and free as you are, with good food and clothes. It's just like traveling around."

The more Shen Yinyun thought about it, the more excited he became. They had to continue heading north anyway.

Isn’t it more lively when there are more people?

"Brother Feng, what do you think? Let's hand this hot pot restaurant over to the owner, or transfer it out."

Gu Chenfeng thought about it and knew that Shen Yinyun didn’t want to be separated from his fellow villagers so soon, and they really had to continue heading north and return to the village.

Going in the same direction, with many people and a lively atmosphere, is the atmosphere that Shen Yinyun likes.

"Sure, we'll make arrangements right away. They'll probably have to leave once the rain stops."

Seeing these two people are serious about it, they are so decisive and efficient. They are like family!

After looking at Yue Qianli, the two smiled at each other and nodded.

"Okay, you guys take care of the arrangements. Let me know if you need any help."

"Okay, then let's discuss our business cooperation on the way?"

Jiang Ling smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's go back to the inn first."

On the way back, Jiang Ling and Yue Qianli talked about what happened today.

"Do you think the city lord will take action next?"

Yue Qianli said slowly: "They almost all use their daughters as bargaining chips to marry them off to gain more benefits.

The actions of the eighth lady may be the work of the city lord, who is testing Gu Chenfeng and others.

The city lord may not be able to find more information about Gu Chenfeng and the others, so he uses Miss Eight to test them again and again.

If it is an ordinary person, he may be concerned about the city lord. If it is a person of extraordinary status, he will not care about the relationship with the city lord at all.

I guess the city lord will lock up Miss Eight in the backyard.

A useless daughter's fate is to be arranged to marry."

After hearing Yue Qianli's words, Jiang Ling didn't have any thoughts.

There must be something hateful about a pitiful person, and there must be a reason why a hateful person has to do something.

However, as long as Shen Yinyun and the others are not in trouble, it's fine.

He was still wondering if he should kill the city lord at night if he sent someone to cause trouble.

Since he can't do that, let him live.

Everyone has his own meaning of existence. Jiang Ling is not a scavenger who has to clean up the dirt he sees.

"Well, that's how people are. If you don't work hard to fight for yourself, life or death is all your own decision.

Women, in particular, have always been a vulnerable group in every era.

But there are also a few who stand on their own, rely on their own wisdom and hard work, and live for themselves.”

Yue Qianli nodded in agreement. At least he knew that people of Jiang Ling and Shen Yinyun's generation had unique ideas, distinct personalities, intelligence, wisdom, and courage.

He is a real person, different from most of the people here.

He wanted to see their world a little bit, but from what they said, the civilization and prosperity were gone, and there were only monsters running around and dirty humans.

I just heard them talk about building a paradise and a business empire.

He was curious about what it would look like after it was built.

When they returned to the inn room, Xu Wenzhi was already waiting under the eaves.

"Mr. Xu, have you eaten?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Sir, we have already eaten."

At this time, Butler Chen brought boiling water and made a pot of hot tea for them.

After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Ling asked.

"Tell me, what did you find outside the city gate?"

“There are 36 disaster victims outside the city, totaling 138 people.

They are all villagers from Yunshui Village, the same villagers whose houses were destroyed and everything was washed away by the flash floods.

We walked through the area with the heaviest flash floods.

It is said that several people died and more than a dozen people were washed away, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

They went to the town government office, but the gate was closed and no one paid any attention to them.

So the village chief organized everyone to come to Yunyue City to try their luck and see if they could find the prefect.

As long as they can survive, they are not afraid of anything.

So the people from the whole village came over one family at a time.

We've been here for almost two days, and the prefect hasn't taken any action. He's just told the soldiers guarding the city gates not to let any of the victims in."

After listening to this, Jiang Ling asked a question.

"How much silver does it normally cost to repair a house in the village?"

Xu Wenzhi was a little confused, but still answered seriously.

"Ten taels is enough for an ordinary house."

Jiang Ling nodded to show that he understood.

He looked up at An San again and asked.

"San'er, you also went to see, are the people inside ordinary villagers?"

An San, who was suddenly asked, was stunned for a moment and replied in an instant.

"Yes, ordinary villagers, no problem."

"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow."

After Xu Wenzhi and the others went down, Yue Qianli asked.

"Are you planning to give them some money so they can go back and repair the house?"
