“I know!” Su Jiaoniang lowered her head and met Futu’s gaze.
She said, "It's quite easy to tell whether someone with less experience is telling the truth or lying. When some people are feeling guilty, they will touch their facial features, such as their nose, eyes, and mouth, their eyes will dart around, they will fake a smile, and so on. If you observe people more closely, you will be able to discover these characteristics."
Futu understood that what he did in his dream was all about observing people's expressions and moods.
Often, it can be seen through at a glance.
But even my mother could do it.
My mother is amazing.
"His demeanor and behavior are not like a beggar's. If one day you end up pretending to be a beggar, you must know that you must learn the behavior of the beggars around you and abandon your former manners and cultivation."
Otherwise, it will still be discovered.
He must have lived a comfortable life before, and his family was well-off. His current predicament must be due to some misfortune that caused him to lose faith and trust in everyone. At this point, questioning or doubting him is useless.
It will only exacerbate his anxiety.
As Su Jiaoniang spoke, she passed by her hot pot shop.
The Cai family's new-style shop across the street has already opened.
Su Jiaoniang saw many people coming out from inside.
They had satisfied looks on their faces, and seemed to think highly of what was inside.
Looking at their own shop, they were inevitably affected by other shops competing for customers. However, the impact wasn't that significant; at mealtimes, there were still many people queuing up.
The shop assistant greeted Su Jiaoniang when she came out.
Before she knew it, she had become someone with her own business.
Su Jiaoniang felt that she had achieved her first goal in life: to live a life free from worries about food and clothing.
The two returned to the village, and Su Jiaoniang asked Futu to take a bath while she went to the study.
The increasing number of beggars on the streets must mean a disaster has occurred somewhere.
Otherwise, if there were a stable place to live, who would choose to be displaced?
When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven.
Su Jiaoniang read books from a different era, but her ideas were deeply ingrained.
The child thought she was a living bodhisattva; in later generations, she would be known as the Holy Mother.
It might be disliked by some, but Su Jiaoniang believes that people should preserve their humanity and kindness in their hearts while living in this world.
Human hearts are wicked, and life is difficult.
She acknowledges the principle of being wary and suspicious of people.
But... Su Jiaoniang stared at the picture of the orphanage for the disabled on the Xuan paper for a long time, seeing the innocent children on the street.
Exhale.
All her wealth-building skills were accumulated experience from later generations, summarized by countless predecessors, not something she developed independently. Under these circumstances, she should give back, should act with goodwill towards the world, and should not make herself rich alone.
I left home and headed towards the orphanage for the disabled and children.
In the orphanage, Tiger Girl piled up the snow in the yard under the big locust tree, hoping the snow would freeze the insects under the tree to death.
Clothes frozen solid were hanging on a vine.
These clothes need to be aired for half a month to dry.
Tiger Girl immediately stood up when she saw Su Jiaoniang.
"Dean, you've arrived!" Tiger Girl immediately poured a bowl of hot water and added sugar to it.
The sweet water felt warm and comforting in my mouth.
"Where are Su Tong and the others?"
Su Jiaoniang discovered that only Hu Niu was left in the courtyard.
Tiger Girl shook her head like a little adult: "They've all gone out to make money. The velvet flower shop is doing quite well now. Many people like it. Su Tong has also started making velvet flowers, and they're very beautiful."
Tiger Girl said as she walked into her room.
He took out a velvet hairpin and handed it to Su Jiaoniang.
Su Jiaoniang looked at the velvet hairpin with amazement in her eyes.
Both the color scheme and the finishing are very delicate.
Su Tong is a talented but mediocre person. He could have had a better life, but it's all because of those human traffickers!
I don't know if the human trafficking gang has been caught.
Su Jiaoniang felt that Magistrate Hu was really slow.
He seems to be slow and carefree on weekdays, but he's actually holding back cases he doesn't investigate.
In later generations, this would be reported.
"Dean, do you need to check the accounts? I'll go get Su Tong to bring the ledgers over." Tiger Girl, talking about business, suddenly brought up the ledgers. They had all done it, made a lot of money, and she wanted Su Jiaoniang to see their abilities.
They are not useless.
It's not a wrong decision to support them.
"No need to move the account books. Let them come over when they have time." Su Jiaoniang sat in front of the alley entrance, looking out. You could see the rhythm of life just from this small alley.
Several children were playing with a beanbag, while the adults sat together sewing shoe soles with needles and thread in their hands. The men either went out to gamble and drink or found odd jobs to earn money.
Every aspect of life is captured in a single glance.
A short while later, Su Tong and the others returned.
Upon seeing Su Jiaoniang, they were both nervous and excited, their faces flushed and their eyes sparkling.
Su Jiaoniang said, "The weather has been cold lately, and I've seen many beggars outside. Some are about your age, and some are even younger. I think..."
"Does the dean want to take someone to our compound?" Su Tong asked.
Su Jiaoniang shook her head: "I need to discuss this with you. You are also the owners here, and you have the right to participate in whatever you do."
Hearing Su Jiaoniang say this, Su Tong smiled.
The other brothers grinned foolishly.
Su Tong looked down at his broken leg: "Then, are they healthy and able-bodied people?"
“The orphanage only accepts disabled people and young children. Children over six years old must leave. If they have physical disabilities, they will no longer be accepted if they are over 16. What do you think?” Su Jiaoniang asked.
