Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Mrs. Zhang's family and Mrs. Song's family came over at some point.

The two old ladies ran to Mrs. Lin, holding one of Mrs. Lin's arms with one hand, and patting Mrs. Lin's back with the other hand.

"Old sister, when the child grows up, he will have to fly out on his own. Daping is a capable child. Maybe he can earn a life for you in the future!"

Mrs. Zhang followed Mrs. Song's words and comforted her: "Yes, stop crying. The child is going to develop his talents. When he comes back, he will definitely be the most promising and handsome boy in the village."

Old Mrs. Lin cried so hard that she couldn't stand up, "This child has never left home since he was so big. The first time he left home was to... go to the military camp, and it took such a long time." ...I can't see each other for a long time, my heart is..., if there is a war in the future, but...what should I do!"

At the door of the courtyard, Mrs. Wang's tears fell in clusters.

Cheng Wan looked at Wang, her eyes were red, her mouth was open, and she didn't know what to say to comfort Wang.

Cheng Wan felt that nothing she could say at this time was too weak. As a younger sister, she felt like there was a void in her heart, let alone her own mother.

Wang wiped her tears with her sleeves and forced a smile.

She patted the back of Cheng Wan's hand lightly and said, "Mom is fine. She's just not used to it at the moment. She'll be fine in two days."

After speaking, Wang looked at Xu Zhinian, whose eyes were also red, standing next to Cheng Wan.

The moment Xu Zhinian and Wang's eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, met, they looked down in panic as if they had been burned.

Wang gently took Xu Zhinian's hand. Xu Zhinian raised his head stiffly and met Wang's eyes again.

Then Xu Zhinian saw that although Wang's eyes were red and swollen, the tenderness and love in her eyes were still clearly visible.

"Aunt Wang..."

The softness on Wang's face became more obvious. She patted Xu Zhinian's hand and said softly: "Good boy, what do you want to eat at noon? Aunt Wang will cook it for you."

This was the first time that Wang recognized Xu Zhinian's "Aunt Wang".

Wang was very grateful for Xu Zhinian's visit to the Cheng family today.

No matter what, Cheng Daping met everyone he wanted to see before leaving.

When Cheng Daping left, it seemed that he took half of the souls of the Cheng family with him.

For several days, no laughter was heard in the Cheng family. Everyone was in a daze, and they were not used to the absence of someone in the family.

This situation lasted until Shaoqing came to Pingnan Village again and brought news about Village Chief Jia and the others.

"The news coming back from Qinghua County is that there are currently two groups of refugees coming from Jiajia Village, Qingyuan County, Fuwen County, Ganzhou. The two groups of refugees together make a total of... forty-three people."

Mrs. Lin watched with dull eyes as Shaoqing's mouth opened and closed. She stumbled and was about to fall back.

"Milk!"

"mother!"

The people next to her screamed and reached out to pick up Mrs. Lin.

Cheng Wan quickly moved behind Old Mrs. Lin and caught her.

Cheng Daniu and the others were relieved.

Mrs. Lin waved her hands absentmindedly, "I'm fine, don't worry about me, Shaoqing, you...just keep talking."

Mrs. Lin's face was pale and her throat was dry.

Others also looked at Shaoqing with solemn expressions.

Shaoqing pursed his lips, lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "The conditions of these refugees who first went to the capital and then transferred to Liangzhou are much worse than those who came directly to Liangzhou, while the general refugees are What kind of thing, old lady, you..."

Mrs. Lin sat down on the stool and was speechless for a while.

There was a suffocating silence in the room.

"When we separated from the village chief and his companions, there were more than 400 of them. Why...why were there only so few left..."

Mrs. Lin's voice was extremely low and full of confusion.

Cheng Wan knelt down, held Old Mrs. Lin's hand, and said comfortingly: "Mistress, these forty-three people are just the number of people we have received news from so far. It does not mean that the village chief and his friends are the only ones who have survived."

"Maybe some people are still on their way to Liangzhou, maybe some people have not come to Liangzhou, but have gone to other places. These are all possible."

"Yes, mother, with the village chief leading them, there must be more than just a few of them surviving."

Cheng Daniu also comforted Mrs. Lin warmly.

Mrs. Lin wiped her face and sighed deeply, "Oh! I hope so!"

"Shaoqing."

Shaoqing quickly lowered his head and saluted, "Miss Cheng."

"Do you know how Prince Rui plans to resettle the refugees coming to Liangzhou?"

"Generally, you are incorporated into a military household. If your family has money, you can spend some money to be incorporated into a civilian household. If you have enough money or someone behind you, you can not only be incorporated into a civilian household, but also into a civilian household in a good place. , such as Shuoyang."

Cheng Wan pursed her lips and remained silent.

Obviously, most of the forty-three refugees in Jiajia Village have no money and no one.

Cheng Wan was rich, but it was impossible for her to use her own money to help those forty-one people settle into private households.

She's not that kind.

Shaoqing glanced at the expression on Cheng Wan's face and thought to himself: "Master, it's time to win Miss Cheng's favor!"

"Miss Cheng, don't worry, my young master has made arrangements."

Cheng Wan opened his mouth slightly and looked at Shaoqing in surprise.

Mrs. Lin and the others also looked over.

Shaoqing had a smile on his face and looked calm and majestic.

"My young master has sent people to deliver a message to the official in charge of this matter in Qinghua County. The forty-three people from Jiajia Village will come to Shuoyang together with the refugee team that will settle in Shuoyang."

"It's just that Pingnan Village can no longer accommodate them, so they will be arranged to settle in Lijia Village below Shuonan County."

"Lijia Village is less than half an hour's drive from Pingnan Village. The most important thing is that Lijia Village has several abandoned courtyards that no one wants. It will be no problem to clean them up and temporarily inhabit them."

"Prince Rui has ordered that yamen across Liangzhou distribute relief food to the refugees who have settled in Liangzhou."

"Although the relief food is unpalatable and not enough to eat, at least I won't starve to death."

"With food and shelter, those forty-three people can get through it slowly."

The room was quiet, no one spoke.

Cheng Wan and Mrs. Lin felt very warm in their hearts.

Mrs. Lin rubbed her sore nose and said in a hoarse voice: "Young Master Gu really has nothing to say to us idiots. Young Master Gu is really... a really good person!"

Xiao Lin also wiped away her tears, looked at Shaoqing and said seriously: "Shaoqing, go back and tell your young master that we will take good care of Suisui! We will never let him suffer any grievances or make any mistakes!"

Shaoqing choked and shouted in his heart: "The young master is so concerned about your affairs, not because of the young master!!! When will you find out that my young master is treating you because he wants to be the son-in-law of your Cheng family? Are you so serious about this?!
