I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

In Qing Kingdom, Chen Jia and Chen Jue, with their extraordinary wisdom and unremitting efforts, overcame all obstacles on the road of business. From glass and wood carvings to novelty toys, and then to beauty and fashion, their business territory continued to expand, and they gained huge wealth and reputation. However, this loving couple did not indulge in fame and fortune, but always remembered their social responsibilities and thought about how to give back to the society.

As the New Year approaches, the streets and alleys of the capital are filled with a festive atmosphere. Chen Jia and Chen Jue sat in the study of the workshop, with account books and financial statements piled in front of them. Chen Jia flipped through the account books gently, with a gratified smile on her face: "Husband, our business is booming this year and we are making a lot of profit."

Chen Jue nodded slightly, with gentleness and determination in his eyes: "Yes, my lady. All this is inseparable from the hard work of all the employees in the workshop, as well as the people who have always supported us. Now that the year is coming to an end, I want to take out some money to give bonuses to the employees so that everyone can have a good year."

Chen Jia's eyes flashed with surprise, and she quickly said, "My husband is right, and that's exactly what I meant. The employees have been working hard for the workshop all year round, and we have seen their efforts. The generous bonus is not only a recognition of their work, but also allows their families to live a prosperous life. Moreover, we can also use some of our resources to support those poor families, so that more people can feel the warmth of the New Year."

The two hit it off and immediately began to discuss the specific distribution plan. They carefully calculated the profit situation and determined the amount of bonuses to be distributed to employees, as well as the materials and funds to be used to help poor families.

Afterwards, Chen Jia and Chen Jue called all the employees in the workshop. Everyone gathered in the courtyard of the workshop. The winter sun shone on them, but it still couldn't hide the fatigue and expectations of life in everyone's eyes. Chen Jia stood on the steps, gently swept his eyes over everyone, and said with a smile: "Masters, I called you all here today because I have good news to tell you. This year, our workshop's business has been so prosperous, which is inseparable from everyone's hard work. Therefore, my husband and I decided to give everyone a generous bonus so that everyone can have a happy and prosperous new year!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of cheers from the audience. A young craftsman jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Really? Madam, this is great! I was just worrying about buying some New Year's goods for my family, now it's all right!"

An old craftsman's eyes welled up with tears, and he said excitedly: "Madam, Duke, you are really kind-hearted people! Working in this workshop, we can not only learn the craft, but also meet such a good boss. It is really a blessing from the previous life."

Chen Jue stepped forward and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard this year, and this is what you deserve. In addition, we know that everyone lives frugally and may have difficulties at home. If anyone needs extra help, just tell us."

At this time, a female worker stood up timidly and whispered: "Duke, my child is sick, and I have no money to treat him properly..."

Chen Jia hurried over, held her hand, and said with concern: "Sister, don't worry. We will arrange for a doctor to treat the child, and the expenses will be paid by the workshop. You can just take care of the child with peace of mind."

The female worker was so moved that she burst into tears and kept thanking him.

After distributing the dividends, Chen Jia and Chen Jue took a group of servants, loaded with a large amount of food, clothing and New Year's goods, and headed for the poor villages around the capital. Along the way, the wind was cold, but Chen Jia and Chen Jue's hearts were filled with warmth.

They came to a dilapidated village. Most of the houses in the village were dilapidated, and the cold wind whistled through the cracks. The villagers were ragged and helpless. Seeing Chen Jia and Chen Jue and their group coming, the villagers gathered around.

Chen Jia got off the carriage and said to the villagers with a smile: "Fellow villagers, we are here to give you New Year's goods! The end of the year is coming, and everyone should have a good New Year."

A white-haired old man trembled and walked forward, saying excitedly: "Is this... is this true? We haven't had a good New Year's Day for several years. You are really kind people!"

Chen Jue quickly helped the old man up and said, "Old man, don't say that. We just did what we could. Take these food and clothes back and prepare well for the New Year."

As he spoke, the servants began to unload the supplies from the cart one by one and distribute them to the villagers. The villagers' eyes were full of gratitude, and they all knelt down to thank him.

At this time, a little girl in thin clothes caught Chen Jia's attention. The little girl's face was red from the cold, and her eyes were full of desire. Chen Jia walked up to her, squatted down, hugged the little girl in her arms, and said distressedly: "Child, are you cold? Come, auntie brought you new clothes."

As she spoke, Chen Jia took out a thick cotton coat from the car and put it on the little girl. The little girl, with tears in her eyes, whispered, "Auntie, thank you. This is the first time I have received new clothes."

Chen Jia's nose was sore, and she gently stroked the little girl's head: "Child, from now on, every New Year, Auntie will give you new clothes."

After distributing the supplies, Chen Jia and Chen Jue went to the home of an elderly widow in the village. The elderly lived alone in a dilapidated thatched house, and the house was cold and deserted, without any New Year atmosphere.

Chen Jia walked into the house and saw the old man curled up in the corner. She felt distressed. She quickly walked to the old man and held his hand: "Old man, we are here to spend the New Year with you."

The old man raised his head, his eyes full of surprise: "Why...why are you so nice to me?"

Chen Jue sat next to the old man and said, "Old man, it's not easy for you to live alone. Now that we know about it, we can't just ignore it. We will come to see you often in the future."

As they spoke, the servants began to post Spring Festival couplets and hang lanterns in the old man's house. Soon, the old man's house was filled with a festive atmosphere. Chen Jia and Chen Jue also personally cooked a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for the old man.

The old man looked at the table full of food, then at Chen Jia and Chen Jue, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably: "With my old bones, I can still eat such a good New Year's Eve dinner, and have you accompany me during the New Year. I will die without regrets."

Chen Jia gently hugged the old man: "Old man, please don't say that. Things will get better and better in the future."

When leaving the village, the villagers stood by the road and watched Chen Jia and Chen Jue leave. Their eyes were full of gratitude and reluctance, and they kept saying words of thanks.

After returning to the capital, the good deeds of Chen Jia and Chen Jue soon spread throughout the streets and alleys. People praised the Duke and his wife and praised their benevolence and kindness.

A scholar on the street said with emotion: "Duke Chen and his wife are truly great sages of the time! Not only have they achieved great success in business, but they also care about the world and the people. Such benevolent people are a blessing to our Qing country."

A businessman also said: "The kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Chen made me feel ashamed. I will do more good deeds in the future and give back to the society."

Chen Jia and Chen Jue just smiled when they heard the praises. They knew that everything they did was not for the sake of getting praise from others, but out of their inner kindness and responsibility to society.
