Yun Chengcai raised his eyebrows, "Why is it a soup kitchen?"
Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it is also inconvenient.
"Didn't we distribute relief food before? It is unlikely that we will continue to distribute relief food. The most likely possibility is to give out relief food."
When handing out relief food, everyone will receive it regardless of whether they have food or not. Porridge is different. It is aimed at those who are really short of food and clothing. If people from better-off families have more food, most of them will not go. This will save food greatly. .
But Lu Xinghe guessed that if the imperial court really set up a soup kitchen shack, it wouldn't last long. When the crops in the fields grow, the soup kitchen shack should be cancelled.
After all, giving porridge to such a large area consumes a lot of money.
Hearing this, the Yun brothers stopped talking. They were both from peasant families and had never read a word, so they couldn't guess the court's policy. After all, the court would not sit idly by and do nothing. If their family could find a way to survive, That’s enough.
After eating, Yun Dabao and Yun Chengcai left early because they needed to buy some things.
Chu Yue held her chin up and turned to look at Lu Xinghe.
"Ms. sir, I'm wondering whether we should contract out our farmland and farmland or hire someone to plant it ourselves."
"The fields are relatively scattered and can be contracted out. Zhuangzi's fields are more concentrated, so just hire people to plant them. It has a total of thirty acres. It's enough to hire two or three people to take care of it for a long time."
Chu Yue nodded.
"That's right. If we raise some more chickens, ducks, fish and pigs, we will have enough food at home." She said, looking at Lu Xinghe, "Ms. sir, if we ask my uncle and uncle to take care of our farm, Will they?"
"Can."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Then when I go to see grandma, I will talk to my uncle and uncle. If they are willing, they can wait until I go to Zhuangzi to see her and then make arrangements. If they are not willing, I will ask someone else. ask."
Lu Xinghe nodded, "Okay, you can arrange things at home."
…
The next day, Chu Yue went to the gathering point for the victims early in the morning. After making arrangements for things there, she and Lu Xinghe took a carriage to the sake village.
After all, carriages are rare in this village.
Many people saw the carriage and stretched their necks to pay attention to the direction of the carriage.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of Yun Dabao's house, and a tall and handsome man and a young girl got out of the carriage.
People outside were talking a lot.
"Is that man just now Cui He's eldest son? Why does he look familiar?"
"That should be right. The one walking next to him should be Cui He's daughter-in-law. She came to our village twice last year and I have seen her."
"Didn't a carriage come here a few days ago? It seems to be her too."
"Oh! They even came in a carriage. It seems that Cuihe's family has changed. I didn't take a closer look before. Her son is also a talented person. I don't know his temperament. I thought he was the son of a wealthy family." I thought. My daughter who was about to get married had a look of pity on her face.
They all come from the same village. If they can get married, their daughter's life will be easier in the future, and maybe her family will have to turn over as well.
"Who says it's not the case? I heard that her family was in such trouble that they couldn't open the pot. I didn't expect it to turn around so quickly. It really took thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river."
"Let's also go to Dabao's house and have a look. They are all related to each other. If they are willing to help, maybe we can also have some soup with them."
…
As soon as Yun Dabao led Lu Xinghe and Chu Yue into the house, he heard a group of women coming in noisily outside the courtyard.
They were all from the countryside, and he was too embarrassed to kick them out, so he let Xu and Jiang deal with it while he led Chu Yue to the inner room to see Li Qiulian.
A woman glanced in the direction of the house, took Mrs. Xu's arm and asked, "Dabao, are those two people who got off the carriage just now Cuihe's son and daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Xu glanced at the woman in front of her and probably guessed the purpose of this group of people.
I heard that the third sister had lost her husband before, and these people were gossiping behind her back. But now that they saw her coming in a carriage, they all came to ask questions again.
Xu glanced at everyone.
"They are indeed my third sister's son and daughter-in-law. They are here to treat my mother-in-law. As you know, my niece-in-law is very good at medicine."
A woman said in surprise, "Hey! Is Cuihe's daughter-in-law still a doctor?"
Some people were full of disdain, "What's so great about a little girl becoming a doctor? Why did she get married to Cuihe and still let her go out to show her face? This is against the rules."
Some people in Sake Village have seen Chu Yue in the town, but their faces were covered so they couldn't see clearly, and many people have never seen her.
Hearing this, Mrs. Xu frowned with displeasure and looked at the speaker.
"What are the rules? Is it a rule to face the earth with your back to the sky? Is it a rule to teach your husband and teach your children by not stepping outside the door? Then you grow some vegetables on weekdays and you still know how to sell them in the town. What's the difference between it and being in public? ? Isn’t it also against the rules? Your family is an old rich man. Your daughter and daughter-in-law have servants to serve you, so you don’t have to go out to work. "
When the man saw Mrs. Xu protecting Chu Yue like this, he could only sneer and say, "After all, this is a married woman's family. My daughter-in-law is usually at home most of the time. But that's what I said, I will protect my daughter-in-law." , don’t be angry.”
Xu didn't feel relieved by her words.
Chu Yue is the goddess doctor who saved Tongzhi County and several nearby towns. People will say that it is against the rules for her to go out to practice medicine. Not to mention that she disagrees, those who have been saved by Chu Yue will definitely not listen if they listen to it. agree.
"What's wrong with a girl becoming a doctor? What's wrong with being in public? If it hadn't been for my nephew's wife, my mother-in-law's legs would have been paralyzed last year, and my daughter-in-law wouldn't have gotten pregnant so smoothly. Besides, now the town's disaster relief officer Dr. Chu is my nephew-in-law. Without her, how can we live a peaceful life now? If you have the ability, don’t go get medicine or see a doctor."
As soon as the words fell, the courtyard suddenly became quiet.
A group of women looked at each other, some were shocked, some were stunned, and some were suspicious.
"Doctor Chu?!"
Is she Dr. Chu?
According to legend, the medical goddess is more skilled than many established doctors.
Oh my God!
They actually saw Dr. Chu himself in Sake Village.
Many young women covered their mouths in shock.
Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes at everyone, "If it's true, if you don't believe it, just go to town and take a look. What's wrong? Who else thinks it's against the rules for her to practice medicine outside?"
At this time, no one around said anything anymore. The woman who just said that she was not in compliance with the rules quietly slipped out of the crowd, for fear that others would care about her and never treat her family again.
"Yesterday, I took my mother to the town for medical treatment. It was just that Dr. Chu had his face covered so that he could not see his appearance clearly, but his figure was the same as that of Cui He's daughter-in-law. I really didn't expect that the legendary goddess The doctor is actually Cui He’s daughter-in-law!”
At this moment, a woman with a flattering look on her face stepped forward and took Jiang's arm, and whispered in her ear, "Successful wife, where is your nephew now? If there is anything to rely on, Don’t forget about us, we are all related in the village. If we want to get rich, we can all get rich together, what do you think?"
