Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

When Xin An saw those people selling charcoal on the street, he had a guess.

Mrs. Wang nodded and admitted, "Maybe because there is a lot of charcoal this year and the price of charcoal changes every day recently, so she wanted to sell it for some money."

Xin An said: "It is understandable that they want to sell the charcoal to supplement their family income; but as the head of the family, he decided to sell the charcoal for the family to survive the winter. I think he has considered the consequences. If his consideration is just to ask for money, he is sure that the lady will not ignore them. In this case, there is no need to help such people."

"If you give it to her today out of pity, everyone will come to visit tomorrow. No one wants to suffer a loss, even if he doesn't need it."

Her father once said that if you encounter a large number of refugees with nowhere to go, you must never take out the food even if there is more than enough food in a car. Kindness will become a sin if it appears in an inappropriate situation.

At critical moments, you must be ruthless.

Regarding those who received charcoal and then sold it, Xin An said that he would send someone to find the person in charge of those people to explain the situation and make it clear that neither the Marquis' Mansion nor the Wang Mansion would have any extra charcoal to distribute.

"If you really have no other choice, it's fine. But if you just want to make a few more bucks by taking advantage of the recent increase in charcoal prices without caring whether your family can survive the winter, then..."

Xin An's lips curled slightly, "Everything is fate, there is no pity."

Mrs. Wang was a little surprised at her attitude. She thought that since she was young and had never suffered hardship, she must be unable to bear the sufferings of the world. Besides, since she was rich and generous, it was not impossible for her to take out some money to buy some charcoal to distribute.

I didn't expect such a firm attitude.

"It is also because of your coming that I have more consideration for them and forget about the gratitude and grudges."

Xin An smiled faintly, "Madam, you know that the Marquis' Mansion doesn't have much income, and the expenses are also high. This matter fell on me, and I have to pay for all the expenses myself, but my money didn't fall from the sky."

"We have done our best to help them. We have taken charcoal, rice and noodles into consideration. As long as nothing unexpected happens, they will have a good winter."

Originally, I didn't want to say these words, but her previous performance was always easy to talk to and generous, which inevitably made people think too much.

If she hadn't come today, Mrs. Wang would have agreed to provide more charcoal. If she gave it to this family, would she give it to that family?

When everyone comes, the expense will ultimately fall on her.

She has a lot of money, but does it come easy for her father to make money?

"Madam, don't worry too much. I will explain this matter to my grandmother."

Mrs. Wang sighed and nodded. Xin An's words forced her to re-examine their relationship. She had indeed taken it for granted earlier, thinking that this rich man was easy to get along with. Now it seems that he is not a pushover.

Xin An was not going to dwell on this matter. "Besides the fact that I saw a few familiar charcoal sellers on the street and wanted to ask them about it, I also wanted to ask Madam if there is a date set for the banquet to be held before the New Year?"

"My husband was also going to come on the day of the banquet, but he has to leave the capital for a few days. If it's just these few days, I'm afraid he won't be able to make it."

Mrs. Wang understood what she meant, "When is it convenient for the Second Young Master?"

"About ten days later."

Madam Wang calculated the date and said with a smile, "It's not too late, let's set it at that time. I have received the Second Young Master's kindness, so I still have to thank him in person."

Xin An smiled and said that she would take care of the drinks. "I'll have someone deliver them directly when they're ready. I'll also add two lamb chops to the meal. It's better to have something warm in the middle of winter."

"I'll have to trouble Madam to take care of the rest."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "You are too polite. The money we had before has not been spent yet. It is more than enough to hold a banquet."

"Leave it in Madam's hands for emergency use."

Xin An softened his attitude. "Although we have rules, the law is nothing more than human feelings. If there is any illness or pain, we can't just ignore it. We can't just watch it happen."

"I am a hands-off manager. My wife has to take care of everything. I have enough money and I am not panicking when something happens."

Mrs. Wang was really convinced. She had just been thinking about keeping a distance, but now she was pulled back.

Before leaving, Mrs. Wang gave Xin An two pots of daffodils. Xin An accepted them with a smile. "I only learned two months ago that there is a custom of giving daffodils to each other during the New Year in Beijing. I asked the gardener to grow some, and when they bloom, I will give you two pots. I hope everything goes well for you in the coming year."

Mrs. Wang smiled as she sent her to the car. After the car drove away, she turned around and shook her head with a smile. She also thought that she should let her girl talk more with the second young master's wife. It would be enough if she could learn one or two points.

When Wang Langjiang came back, he told her what happened today, "I thought she was a soft-hearted girl, but in fact, she is a good enough woman to be the mistress of the house."

General Wang Lang said, "The merchant family holds so much gold and silver. If they were weak-willed, they would have been bullied a long time ago. The old marquis must have made a good choice."

"I don't know what kind of wine she sent. It's cold, so I just want to drink and eat meat."

Mrs. Wang glared at him angrily and said, "Don't just worry about eating and drinking. You should also talk to those charcoal sellers. They sold the charcoal that they need to survive the winter for a few dollars. Do you want to die?"

"The government won't even give them a pound of charcoal."

General Wang nodded and agreed, "It's not a big deal, it's just a moment of confusion, don't worry."

It's easy to say, but in my heart I'm thinking that I must go and give him a good scolding. What a shame! No matter how short of money I am, I can't sell the charcoal that saves my life.

At the same time, Xin An was also talking to the old lady about this. The old lady was kind-hearted and said that those people probably had their own reasons, but...

"You have done what you can do. Don't worry about other things. Everyone has their own destiny."

It would be fine if she, an old lady who just doesn't care about the business, doesn't want to contribute any money, but she can't ask her granddaughter-in-law to subsidize the family. The people left behind by the old man are such a huge burden, it's good enough that her granddaughter-in-law can take care of them. Even if the old man knows, he can't say anything.

Xin An said: "I'm not going to take care of it. They all have elderly parents and young children to take care of. They should consider the whole family when doing things. Those people should know what's going on."

"After the New Year, I will ask Manager Fang to pick a few people to work on the merchant ship. It's hard work, but the pay is high. As long as you are willing to work hard, it won't be a problem to support your family."

The old lady was very pleased and said, "It's hard for you to think of everything. I just hope they can remember your kindness."

"It doesn't matter whether they remember or not. We hire them all and pay them the same wages. What matters is that they can make a living."

She hadn't thought about how these people would be grateful to her. She spent the money just in the hope that one day in the future she might need their help. Even if that day never came, it didn't matter. She could just consider it as a good deed.
