The next day, the snow finally stopped and the sun came out, but it was still very cold. The villagers voluntarily cleared the snow in front of their homes and then worked together to clean the roads in the village. With more people and more strength, they cleared the snow directly to the head of the village.

The road at the end of the village was the only one in the village, so the toilet was cleared directly. The snow was so thick that it could reach the waist of an adult man.

"The snow this year is really heavy. I have been living in this village for decades and I have never seen such heavy snow! I don't know the reason!" shouted a villager.

"Isn't that right? In previous years, the snow would not necessarily collapse anyone's roof!"

"Who is the village chief?" Just as he was talking, he heard someone shouting.

The people in the village looked over and saw that he was a yamen servant from the town's yamen.

Yunan Village is the best village among the nearby villages. There are several other villages around it that are relatively worse.

"The village chief is busy with village affairs. Sirs, what are you doing?" asked the villager who was appointed by the village chief to take the lead.

"We are from the town's yamen. The county magistrate asked us to come out to help clear the snow. By the way, I want to ask what's going on in the village!" A yamen servant said loudly.

"Our village chief is taking care of the collapsed houses in the village. Why don't you come into the village!"

"Okay, let's go to your village and have a look when we get through!" the yamen servant shouted loudly.

Because there is still a long way to go, and the snow is thick, they haven’t joined together for a while, so they can only shout.

One side of the village road is a hillside, and the other side is a sunken terrain. There are weeds underneath, and there are no houses or people, so the snow has been swept away.

After the road was cleared, the villagers took the yamen servants to find the village chief.

The village chief was discussing with more than a dozen families whose houses had collapsed how to renovate their houses. When the government officials arrived, the villagers were worried. Several families had not had time to run out, and several people died, all of whom had inconvenient legs and feet. The two are a mother and son, and the child is only one year old.

"Village chief, the county magistrate has sent a government official over to ask about the situation!" the villagers shouted.

The village chief heard the shouting and rushed out to greet him.

The collapsed houses are all connected, so you can see them all at a glance.

"Sir, what did the county magistrate say? Is there any relief money from above?" After the village chief explained the situation, he asked, these people are all from poor families. If this person escapes, everything else will be gone. If the village chief It's probably not enough to raise money, and it's approaching the end of the year, when every household is in urgent need of money, let alone any money to spend now.

"Don't worry, village chief. The county magistrate will try his best to fight for it. We are here to inquire about the situation and report it. The county magistrate will not ignore it!" The yamen servant wrote and drew in the notebook to comfort the village chief.

"This is some money squeezed out by the county magistrate. We will build a temporary shelter for the villagers first. After the funds are allocated from the superiors, they can be rebuilt. This is a natural disaster. This fund should be allocated. Please ask the village chief to let the villagers wait. !” The yamen officer gave a money bag to the village chief. Since there were other villages, they didn’t give much, but there were some who came to build a temporary shelter.

"The county magistrate is kind-hearted! Thank you so much, magistrate!" The village chief looked at him and thanked him hurriedly.

"Okay, seeing that the new year is approaching, the village chief should hurry up!" The yamen servant didn't stay long and left with the people.

After the government officials left, the village chief looked at the villagers gathered behind him and said, "As you can see, the disaster relief funds haven't come in yet. This was also forced out by the county magistrate. He built a big room for everyone to live in temporarily while waiting for the disaster relief funds. It will be distributed later! But if the disaster relief funds cannot be disbursed, we will have to make another decision then!" the village chief said, looking at the villagers.

"we can only do this!"

This is the current situation, even if you really have complaints, there is nothing you can do.

After the men of the Yu family returned home after helping, they explained the situation and sighed that the county magistrate was a good man.

Yu Muyun silently took out the money box and counted each one clearly. The family had enough money and set aside what was necessary.

He took the money out and prepared to have someone take it to the village chief, so the village chief came.

The village chief seemed a little embarrassed to speak, and he made pleasantries but did not change the topic.

Yu Muyun looked at it without saying a word, just waiting for him to speak.

Uncle Yu looked at him hesitating and didn't say anything, "Just say what the village chief wants to say. I also know a little bit about the situation in the village. I know that the village chief won't come to the door now unless he has no choice!"

Uncle Yu stretched out his hand to take Yu Muyun over, peeled off the candy in his hand and handed it to Yu Muyun.

Yu Muyun took it. It was a piece of peanut candy, made from peanut dough mixed with maltose and pressed out.

"It's like this. Someone from the county government took some money and asked us to build a temporary shelter. But those few talkative people in the village, you know what they would say. People from the county government, The money given is less than three taels of silver, which is enough to build a bungalow, but...so, I have to come to my uncle and aunt, just think of it as a loan, I don't know if I can..." Next The village chief couldn't say anything else. He almost didn't borrow money from anyone, so he couldn't say the next words.

"I know, and you should also know that if it weren't for these two months, Twilight could start the fabric business again. Now you come to get it, and we can't get it. We also have to eat it ourselves, with so many people in the family. , I still need to buy materials, but they are not much. After building the house, I also need food. Ten taels of silver is only so much, and it does not count as a loan. It is treated as a donation by us. If there is any more, we will lose it! "Uncle Yu knocked the money bag that Yu Muyun handed over. It only weighed so much.

"Thank you very much, uncle! Thank you so much!"

"Don't thank me! It's my Twilight who can do it!" Uncle Yu waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, Twilight is the most capable in the village!" The village chief was a little incoherent. He took the money, said a few words, and finally Mrs. Yu asked him to do something before leaving.

"Really, those gossips in the village still thought of us at the critical moment!" Guan Qingyu muttered.

"Just know the virtues of those people, don't say too much!" Mrs. Yu said.

"It's no wonder Sister-in-law Qingyu said, those people are shameless!" Yu Jiayin added.

"Twilight has already prepared it?"

"Those people know that our family is doing business. Instead of waiting for them to talk about it and then give it to them, it is better to give it first!" Yu Muyun nodded.

"But dad, why did you give it to me? Didn't the village chief say it could be borrowed?" Yu Jiayin was still aggrieved.

"Twilight said why not borrow it?"

"Auntie knows what they are like. Do you need to pay back the loan?"

"Look, even children know that there will be any excuses! If you lend the money and you can't get it back, you might as well call it a donation. Then we can still remember our names!" Uncle Yu took a polisher He gave Yu Muyun a smooth rattan ball, and placed a bell in it, which made a jingling sound when it swayed.
