After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Chapter 52: The story of her disaster relief spread more and more widely

The longer the people suffer from the disaster, the more meaningful Zhu Jiangjiang's arrival will be, and the easier the conditions she put forward will be accepted by the villagers.

The disaster relief operation has been carried out for four days, and more and more villages have begun to know that a person named Zhu Jiangjiang is helping the victims in various villages.

So no, before she showed up in her village, someone came to ask her for help.

"Is there anyone?"

It was late at night, Zhu Jiangjiang took a bath, and when he returned to his room and fell asleep, he suddenly heard someone making a sound in the yard.

In a daze, he was suddenly awakened.

Zhou Liang got up first, went out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

There were several men standing in the yard, most of them were elderly. They all looked like peasants, with their sleeves and trouser legs rolled up, and their shoes were covered with mud.

The summer night was hot, and it hadn't rained since that rainstorm. At this time, the road outside was completely dry, and they could still rub their feet in the mud.

Could it be that they took a shortcut and came here through mountains and rivers?

The facts are really as Zhou Liang guessed.

"Young man, is this the home of Zhu Jiangjiang and Miss Zhu?" One person asked politely, still panting when speaking.

Zhou Liang: "Exactly."

"Great!"

A few people showed joy, stepped forward, took Zhou Liang's hand and said, "We came from a few villages in the north of the city. I heard that Miss Zhu can exchange food for food, but is it true?"

"It's true." Zhu Jiangjiang happened to come downstairs and asked a few people, "Do you also want to exchange food for food?"

It was heard that the rescuer was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. When they saw Zhu Jiangjiang, they already guessed her identity.

"Little lady, please save our village, everyone is starving to death..."

Several people suddenly knelt down to Zhu Jiangjiang, startling Zhu Jiangjiang, "Don't, don't, everyone, get up quickly, we can't help it."

Being kneeled by so many elders, she was afraid that her life would be shortened.

"Let's talk in the room." Zhu Jiangjiang helped them up and let them in, "Zhou Liang, go and boil water for the guests to make tea."

Zhou Liang nodded, and immediately turned around and went to the kitchen. After a while, a faint candlelight lit up in the dark kitchen.

The little ones in the house were also woken up, unable to sleep, they simply came out to catch fireflies in the yard to play.

This is a rare good time for them, and when they leave one day, they will never be so comfortable again.

"Miss Zhu, are these all your brothers and sisters?"

It's strange that Zhu's family doesn't have any elders, but they have so many brothers and sisters.

"That's it."

Zhu Jiangjiang smiled, and changed the subject to the business, "Which village are you from? Why did you come back so late?"

Speaking of this, the faces of several men were cloudy again.

"Oh, the village has been hit by a disaster, and people are already starving to death, and the yamen has been refusing to distribute food for disaster relief. We are in trouble..."

"Yes, everyone heard that there was a young lady in Xiaohuang Village who was exchanging food for food. We discussed it and came here with the cheek."

"Little lady, the village where this old man and I live is not affiliated to Jiangnan Town. We are from Jiangbei Prefecture. Do you think we can exchange some food with you?"

Several people kept asking questions, and some came from Jiangbei Prefecture. No wonder they arrived at night.

Their attitude was very sincere, and the two from Jiangbei Prefecture seemed even more humble, and they spoke carefully, for fear that Zhu Jiangjiang would not agree to them.

"Are you two from Jiangbei Prefecture? What's the current situation in Jiangbei Prefecture?" Zhu Jiangjiang asked anxiously.

Jiangbei Prefecture is the state capital where the embankment broke upstream, and the situation is not better than Jiangnan Town, maybe even worse.

really.

Speaking of the situation in Jiangbei Prefecture, the two were not afraid of the jokes of the people present, so they started to wipe their tears.

"The people outside the city of Jiangbei Prefecture are miserable. When the flood came down, many people were swept away. They can't be found until now. The houses have also been destroyed. They have no food or drink. Everyone can't live anymore."

The villages located downstream of the embankment suffered the strongest flood impact. At that moment, the victims probably couldn't even run.

The situation seems to be more serious than Zhu Jiangjiang imagined.

In Jiangnan Town, the crops were damaged by water and there were not many cases of houses collapsed. In Jiangbei Prefecture, not only the crops were not harvested, but there were also missing persons.

The situation is too bad!

"Uncle, what does the government office in Jiangbei Prefecture say?"

There has been no movement in the yamen of Jiangnan Town so far. Could it be that big towns like Jiangbei Prefecture haven't carried out disaster relief?

"I heard that the imperial court has sent people down to build the embankment, but I haven't seen the yamen distribute food for disaster relief."

"..." Zhu Jiangjiang was almost pissed off by the current court.

Do all those officials eat dry food? !What a broken efficiency, no wonder it is so backward.

Forget it, the yamen is reliable, even sows can climb trees!

"Several, tell me about the situation in your village first, and I will arrange food to go back with you at dawn tomorrow." Zhu Jiangjiang got up to get a pen and paper with a serious face.

In the middle of the night, in the sleepy Xiaohuang Village, Pei's house was still brightly lit.

Zhou Liang and the second child came to register information with the village chiefs, and Xiao Wu took two maids to make supper in the kitchen, and made food for the village chiefs who came all the way.

Zhu Jiangjiang took advantage of the night to move the food out of the space and put it in the dark room on the first floor.

Several village chiefs couldn't believe that the matter was resolved so smoothly, and they got the food directly after signing the signature!

According to the rumors, Miss Zhu has to look at the situation of each village first, and make a series of agreements. It is said that some villages have to rent the mountain land to her.

How come they don't need anything?

"You said, can we really see the food tomorrow?"

In the main room on the first floor, several village chiefs were arranged by Zhu Jiangjiang to sleep on the floor.

Even though they had traveled all day, they were already very tired and still couldn't fall asleep.

It felt so unreal, they couldn't believe it, and they were also worried that when they woke up and found out that everything was fake, how would they explain it to the villagers.

"I don't know." Another person answered, "This girl is too young, and her family is full of children. Where did she come from with such great skills to get so much food?"

It's a normal procedure.

Every time Zhu Jiangjiang went to a village these days and proposed to exchange food for food to help the village tide over difficulties, the villagers questioned her because of her appearance and age.

After several months of self-regulation, Zhu Jiangjiang finally returned to the appearance that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl should have.

Fine skin and tender flesh, cardamom age, even though she is wearing coarse cloth that is easy to go out and can be ruined vigorously, you can still see youthful vitality from her.

It was precisely because of her appearance that she spent a lot of effort and said a few times to convince the villagers that she was strong enough.

"Sleep, sleep, we will know tomorrow if there is any food." One person urged.
