Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

The sky was gloomy and the wind was howling. November in Ganzhou was already very cold and thick ice had formed on the river.

Although Magistrates Li and Wang had already told the recipients that they could come and claim their gifts within ten days, everyone still came impatiently on the first day.

The earlier you receive it, the more chances you have to survive.

Ten of the twelve yamen runners under Magistrate Li came to maintain order and save face for the county magistrate.

Everyone wants to get involved in this great thing.

When Aunt Zhang, Zhang Tiezhu, their son, daughter-in-law and daughter arrived, mountains of supplies had already piled up on the street.

Ye Ting looked at the piles of food and cotton clothes with great envy.

"Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating! I have been without a mother since I was a child, and my sister-in-law refused to make me a cotton-padded jacket in winter. I wore my nephew's old cotton-padded jacket with my waist exposed, and broke the ice to wash clothes..." She burst into tears as she spoke.

Aunt Zhang held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, you won't be left without cotton-padded clothes in my house in the winter. I'll make you another cotton-padded coat later so you can stay warm during the winter."

Landlord Wang picked up Yin Jinan and Jiutian early in the morning. The two did not appear on the street, but sat on the second floor of Landlord Wang's house facing the street, looking down at everyone collecting supplies.

Yin Jinan had led troops in battles and had a rough idea of ​​the amount of supplies.

Looking at the cotton-padded clothes, cotton-pants, cotton-shoes, rice, flour and oil piled below, and estimating the price in his mind, Landlord Wang should not be cheating.

These things cost about thirty thousand taels of silver.

Jiu Tian lay in front of the window, very excited.

"Uncle, look at how poor that woman is. The two children she is leading are only wearing such thin jackets."

"Uncle, why is that man wearing flowery cotton pants?"

"Uncle, County Magistrates Li and Wang are here."

"Second uncle..."

For the first time, Yin Jinan felt that he had good upbringing. If it were in the past, if such a child had kept chanting "Second Uncle, Second Uncle" beside him, he would have driven him out long ago.

Now listening to Jiutian's chattering, he just thought that this kid was quite interesting.

The people who received the supplies cheered loudly and knelt down to express their gratitude. Jiutian kept whispering, "You're welcome."

The people who came to help distribute the supplies were all from the town. Aunt Zhang brought Ye Ting over and said to Landlord Wang, "Master Wang, we are here to help too. What kind of work can you arrange for us?"

Landlord Wang bowed his hands in thanks and said, "Tiezhu, take Xiangliang and Xiangshan to move some things from the warehouse. Time is tight and there are still many things that have not been moved out."

Said to Aunt Zhang: "Can you help distribute cotton clothes on the street?"

The distribution of things was orderly. People lined up, reported their names, and found their names on the list. Then Aunt Zhang and her colleagues gave the things to the poor households.

This will prevent some people from claiming the money falsely.

Ye Ting was responsible for getting cotton clothes for people.

The first person in line was a woman holding two children in her arms. Her face was blue from the cold and she said tremblingly, "Four, four sets. One set for the men, one set for the women, and one set for the children..."

She pushed the two children forward, indicating that they were the ones.

Next to Ye Ting is Dabao, who is responsible for checking and ticking the names on the list.

Dabao shouted, "There are four in our family, two sets for adults and two sets for children."

Ye Ting hurried over and took out a set of cotton jacket and trousers from the pile of men's clothing and handed them to the woman.

The woman quickly opened it and found that the cotton coat and trousers were very thick. She was very happy and shouted, "Shoes, and cotton shoes."

Ye Ting quickly went to get a pair of cotton shoes.

The woman took the cotton shoes, tried them on with her hands, and said, "Do you have smaller shoes? This pair is too big."

Ye Ting went to get another pair, and the woman felt that they were a little small, but she was too embarrassed to bargain.

Ye Ting got her the women's and children's cotton coats.

The woman was so happy that she put the clothes on her child and they were the perfect size.

The woman asked shyly, "Could you please pick a bigger one?"

Ye Ting looked down on her in her heart. This woman was so stingy and disgusting. She took the cotton coat for free and was so picky.

I said unhappily, "I'm so busy, who has the time to pick and choose for you? Why do you have to make so much trouble when you get something for free?"

The woman felt embarrassed and put her hands together awkwardly: "Please, children grow fast, I want something bigger so I can wear it next year. Otherwise, the clothes I am wearing now will not fit me in two months."

"Just take it, sister-in-law. Do you really want to wear the same cotton-padded jacket for the rest of your life? It's too big and not warm enough."

"Please, can you get us a bigger one? Please."

"Next." She had never seen anyone so tactless. Ye Ting didn't want to pay attention to her anymore and called the next one.

The woman called out again, "You haven't taken the child's shoes yet? Where are the shoes?"

Ye Ting ignored her. The older child was about the same age as her nephew Ye Wei. If the woman couldn't wait and left on her own, she could give the shoes to her nephew.

But she underestimated the stubbornness of the poor. The woman was from the next county. She ran here before dawn with her two children, determined to bring the cotton clothes back no matter what.

So Ye Ting continued to get clothes for others, and the woman waited by the side. As long as Ye Ting was free, the woman would come over and ask, "Can you help get the child's shoes?"

Ye Ting cursed in her heart, "This is just a dog-skin plaster? Why don't you leave?"

Ye Ting had a few old men from other places who came to collect clothes and supplies. They were very old and confused, and they didn't know what to collect.

Ye Ting only gave the other party a cotton jacket and deliberately left out the cotton pants, so those old men didn't realize it and didn't even think of asking for it.

Ye Ting stuffed the money she saved under the table.

When she had collected several pieces, she tucked the clothes and shoes under her arms and squeezed out of the crowd.

Others thought she was chasing someone to deliver clothes.

She squeezed out of the crowd, ran back to Zhang's house, wrapped a cotton jacket, two pairs of cotton trousers, and four pairs of shoes in a bundle, stuffed them into the cupboard, and locked it with a padlock.

At noon, Landlord Wang set up four tables in the yard, two for men and two for women, and invited the yamen runners and neighbors who had helped today to have dinner.

Landlord Wang was quite polite and put six large plates of steaming hot dishes on each table, as well as plenty of steamed buns.

Yin Jinan put on a mask and asked Jiutian to put on a mask as well.

"Come on, let's go out and take a look." Yin Jinan let Jiutian ride on his neck and carried him downstairs.

Jiutian found it very interesting: "Second uncle, are we going to be heroes?"

"Well, let's go on a private visit with the Second Master."

The two, one big and one small, went downstairs. Ma Chenyang wanted to follow them, but Yin Jinan refused.

The two walked out, and there was still a long queue of people waiting to get supplies, waiting anxiously.

The woman with the two children was still waiting outside. The three of them had new cotton-padded clothes, but they didn't dare sit anywhere for fear of getting their clothes dirty.

When Yin Jinan passed by the three of them, he heard the five-year-old girl crying, "Mom, I'm hungry."

The woman said, "Wait a little longer, little girl. We'll leave after we get the shoes."

"But we have been waiting all afternoon."

"Just wait a little longer..."

"Mom, I'm hungry, woooo," the little girl cried.

Jiutian patted Yin Jinan's shoulder and said, "Second uncle, shall we send them some food?"

"They have received food and clothes. There are too many poor people to show sympathy."

He told Jiutian that he could help them get the shoes and ask them to go home early.

After carrying it for nine days, I stood beside the woman. The woman nervously gathered both children behind her and asked nervously, "You, what do you want to do?"

“Are you from this county?”

"No."

"It is under the jurisdiction of County Magistrate Wang. When did it arrive?"

"Morning."

"What else do you need?"

"Two pairs of shoes for the kid."

Yin Jinan carried Jiutian and said to the woman, "Come here, I'll ask someone to find shoes for you."

He said to Ma Chenyang who was waiting at the door: "Go, help them get their shoes and let them go."

Ma Chenyang said "OK" and went over to tell Dabao that he would help get the shoes for the two children.

Dabao asked the woman her name. She gave her name. Dabao said, "Your clothes, shoes, and food have all been taken away. You cannot take them again."

The woman said anxiously: "No, I haven't taken their shoes. Look, they are still barefoot!"

The two children were not barefoot, but were wearing cloth shoes with several holes and patches on them, and their socks were made of old cloth whose color could not be identified.

Dabao frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, look, I have registered it, but you have already taken all the clothes and shoes away."

The woman couldn't help crying anxiously, "I really didn't take it. I set out with the two children at three in the morning and it's still dark when I got here. I can't be lying. Look at them, they are both freezing."

Dabao said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, you came so early, why didn't you say anything when you didn't get it? It's already noon, how can we explain it clearly now? Although we are donating, we have our own place and the things are counted."

The woman cried so hard that she couldn't speak: "I really didn't get it... The one in the red coat helped us get it. The child's clothes were too small, so I asked her to change them, but she went to get clothes for others first. We never got the shoes..."

Dabao was embarrassed and said, "Then wait a moment, I will go and report to the master."

Yin Jinan and Jiutian were watching from behind. Jiutian said, "Second uncle, that woman didn't lie. I saw the three of them from the window a long time ago."

Yin Jinan whispered a few words to Ma Chenyang, who stopped Dabao and said, "Dabao, my master said to get them a new set. You should re-register and the money will be in our master's name."

Dabao thought, isn't your master just a young man in brocade clothes? Not to mention one set, even ten sets are fine.

He and Ma Chenyang immediately picked out a complete set of clothes for the woman's family of four.

For the two children, Ma Chenyang picked out clothes that were one year older than theirs. After choosing, he carefully tied them up with ropes and gave them hot buns wrapped in lotus leaves.

The woman was so excited that she wanted to kneel down.

Ma Chenyang said: "Hey, auntie, please don't kneel to me. My master is Young Master Jinyi and Little Master Jiutian. This extra set given to you is also given by my master. If you want to thank me, please wish my master a long life."

The woman looked up to the sky and kowtowed, praying to God to bless the young man in brocade clothes and the young Taoist priest Jiutian with longevity.

Jiutian smiled with his eight little white teeth shining brightly.

Suddenly an old man came hurriedly over and spoke excitedly.

Dabao said, "Don't be impatient, speak slowly."

The old man said: "I only got a cotton jacket and cotton shoes. Others have cotton pants, but I don't."

"Uncle, who brought it to you?"

"The woman in the red jacket, look, is right here." He pointed to a place.

Dabao frowned and it was the woman in the red jacket again.
