A basin of cold water was poured over Zhao Heng as soon as he finished speaking.
It was Madam Jiang, who never woke up early. She had come out with a bucket of swill and splashed it all over Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng instantly became smelly, cold, and dirty. He pinched his nose in disgust and looked at the sickly Madam Jiang in disbelief.
Madam Jiang snorted. “What are you looking at? Didn’t you hear Ah Wan tell you to get lost? What scholar? You don’t even understand human language!”
Zhao Heng was really angry after being ridiculed by Yu Wan and being mocked by Madam Jiang. However, he is unable to reason with an unreasonable person. What could he do? He could only leave in embarrassment.
“Mom.” Yu Wan took the heavy bucket of swill from Madam Jiang and asked in confusion, “Did I really enter a brothel?”
It was fine if that Zhao guy slandered her once, but he did that twice, three times, and he really didn’t look like he was lying, making Yu Wan confused.
Madam Jiang said without thinking, “Of course not! How could you enter that kind of place? I don’t know where that bastard heard the rumors. Ignore him.”
“Then did I…” Yu Wan thought of the outrageous erotic dream and cleared her throat awkwardly. It was just a dream. Why did she take it seriously?
Yu Wan smiled and said, “It’s nothing, Mom. I’m going to cook. You should sleep for a while more. I’ll call you when the food is ready.”
Madam Jiang stretched lazily and yawned. She returned to her room sickly and continued to sleep with Bruiser and Zhenzhen in her arms.
The small episode brought by Zhao Heng did not cause much of a stir in Yu Wan’s heart. She did not care about this person anymore, so why would she care too much about his words?
The sky was only beginning to brighten after Yu Wan finished cooking breakfast. She did not wake her mother and brother. After heating the steamed buns in the pot, she went to the old residence to look for Yu Feng and her uncle.
The first batch of goods had to be handed over soon, so they had to start buying tofu in town today. Actually, they could also make the beancurd themselves, but they didn’t have enough manpower. They didn’t even have the time to grind it. In order to save time and manpower, they could only go to town to buy it.
The moment Yu Wan entered the courtyard of the old residence, she heard a deafening wail.
“I don’t care, I don’t care! I want it, I want it!”
It was Guo Xianqiao crying.
Yu Wan rubbed her ears. Coincidentally, Yu Feng came out to take a breather because it was too noisy. When he turned around, he saw Yu Wan and hurriedly went forward. “You were so busy last night. Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?”
Yu Wan was too embarrassed to tell him that she had fallen off the bed from her erotic dream. She could only say seriously, “Aren’t we going to town to buy tofu today? So I got up early.”
Yu Feng opened his mouth. “If you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten!”
Yu Feng was busy like a spinning top due to the earthquake and those relatives. He wasn’t even that busy when he was busy farming.
Yu Wan smiled. “It’s fine, I remember.” After a pause, she gestured in the direction of the central room with her eyes. “What happened? Why is Qiao’er crying so hard?”
“Sigh.” Yu Feng sighed helplessly and explained the entire situation.
It turned out that Aunt pitied the injured Yu Song. She woke up early and steamed a bowl of egg custard for him. Coincidentally, Guo Xianqiao, who was going to the toilet, saw it. Guo Xianqiao was immediately unhappy and said that Aunt was hiding the egg custard for Yu Song to eat only.
In all honesty, Aunt had never thought of being stingy with such a bowl of egg custard. She just saw that she was not awake so she planned to make it when she woke up. After all, it was better to eat the egg custard while it was hot.
“Alright, alright. Qiao’er, stop crying. The custard is here.” It was Uncle’s tolerant and gentle voice.
Yu Feng sighed again. “My father is a good person.”
Yu Wan agreed. “If he wasn’t a good person, he wouldn’t have forgiven me back then.”
Yu Feng : “…”
Yu Feng was speechless.
Yu Wan liked such an uncle. There were many evil people in the world. Perhaps she was one of them, but she was willing to protect the kindness in her uncle’s heart. The evil deeds could be left to her.
“Big Brother, let’s go to town,” Yu Wan said with a smile.
“Okay.” Yu Feng nodded.
The siblings greeted their uncle and aunt before walking towards the village entrance. When they passed by the old well, they bumped into the village headman who had returned from the magistrate prefecture.
In just one night, the village headman had aged ten years and was in a sorry state.
The siblings went forward to greet him.
“Don’t tell me you spent the night at the county magistrate prefecture and only returned now?” Yu Feng looked at the blood vessels in his eyes and guessed.
The village headman nodded dejectedly.
“What’s wrong? Is there no way to settle our village’s matter? Is the county magistrate prefecture not going to interfere?” Yu Feng asked.
The village headman shook his head. “It’s not that they don’t care. They can’t.”
It was only when the village headman went to the county magistrate prefecture that he found out that the earthquake had affected many villages. Lotus Flower Village was the one with the least damage. Not only were the houses and fields destroyed in the remaining villages, there were also many casualties.
There was a war at the border, and the treasury was tight. They could not allocate the silver for disaster relief for a while.
This was not an excuse from the county magistrate. Ever since he found out that Young Master Yan had moved into Lotus Flower Village, the county magistrate did not dare to neglect his duty. He even took out his own wallet to appease the victims. However, there were tens of thousands of victims. He could not fill this hole at all with his usual small bribes.
“Then is the Imperial Court not going to care?” Yu Feng asked indignantly.
The village headman sighed. “The county magistrate said that the imperial court will take care of it, but whether they can take care of our village is another matter.”
This was the truth. There were so many more serious disaster areas to save. Lotus Flower Village probably really could not be ranked.
“Then what should we do?” Yu Feng asked worriedly.
Yu Wan suddenly said, “Big Brother, village headman, I have an idea.”
“What idea?” The two of them asked in unison.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “We have too many orders on hand. Why don’t we invite the villagers over to help? We’ll settle the salary for them.”
