Chapter 212 – No matter how expensive it is, it’s not as expensive as life.

On the fifth day of the first month, the sun shone brightly, the temperature rose slightly, and the snow finally began to melt, as if to signal that the gloom that had hung over the Taizhou capital was beginning to lift.

Many homes remained closed, as did the school captain’s house.

But the Wei family also received good news, it was Wei Mingting who sent a message back.

In his letter, he told his family that he was well, and that there were no sick people in the army, so that his wife and children could rest assured.

And these days the Japanese invaders did not move, is a good news among the many bad news in Taizhou Province.

Finally receiving the news that her husband was safe and sound, Yun breathed a huge sigh of relief and a hanging heart temporarily fell.

“God bless, your father, he’s fine and all is well.” After the evening meal, Yun told Wei Yi Chen, Wei Qing Wan and the others the news with great joy.

Wei Yi-chen was delighted, and then inquired about Wei Ruo’s news: “Has mother heard from her eldest sister?”

Yun’s face sank slightly, the joy on her face faded slightly: ”There is no news, I guess it has been joyful, those who don’t know still think that she and Mrs. Yuan are a family.”

There was annoyance as well as bitterness in his tone.

In the end is their own daughter, their own body fell off a piece of meat, the New Year’s Day this way to their own, how not let her as a mother’s heartbreak.

Feeling Yun’s anger, Wei Yi Chen didn’t know how to comfort him.

It does seem a bit of a stretch if you don’t go home from New Year’s Eve to New Year’s Day.

The father is busy even wrote a letter to the family, the big sister in Yuanfu even did not even bring a message to the family.

“Mother, I plan to make a trip to the governor’s residence in a while to fetch my eldest sister back.” Wei Yi Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Wei Qingwan hurriedly worried, “Big brother, I heard that the plague is still very strong outside, it will be dangerous for you to go out rashly now.”

Yun’s also not too agree with Wei Yi Chen’s move: “Your sister is right, this matter even if you want to do or let the House underlings to go well, you stay at home to read to prepare for this year’s countryside examination.”

Wei Yi Chen said, “The governor’s office is still under control, so I don’t think it’s so serious, besides, I’ll go out and not stay on the road, I’ll go directly to the governor’s residence, so there shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”

“If big brother insists on going, then let me go instead of big brother.” Wei Qingwan volunteered, “It doesn’t matter if I’m sick, but big brother is different, big brother is going to take the countryside examination this year, so there can’t be any half-assed mistakes.”

Looking at Wei Qingwan’s worried eyes, Wei Yi Chen hesitated a bit.

He was thinking that it didn’t matter, but it was really not good to make his mother and sister worry so much about him.

After thinking about it, Wei Yi Chen gave up the idea of going to pick up Wei Ruo, “Alright then, I won’t go for now, I think it’s safe for big sister to stay in the governor’s residence now.”

The matter will be put to rest for the time being.

In the small courtyard, Wei Ruo found Wei Jin Yi after a while of being busy.

“Second brother, there’s something I want you to help me with, can you go back to the school captain’s residence and fetch the wine for me.” Wei Ruo said to Wei Jin as well.

“What do you need wine for?” Wei Jin also asked.

“Cleaning with spirits is a way to prevent infection, I still have six altars of white wine in the mansion’s coffers, which are spirits and are particularly effective.” Wei Ruo explained. ….

Although the alcohol content of those wines was not up to seventy-five percent, they were still forty to fifty, so it was better to use them than not to use them.

Xiu Mei knew where the things were stored, but Xiu Mei was a maid, it was inevitable that she would have some trouble returning to the house and coming out again, and she was likely to be stopped.

So Wei Ruo could only ask Wei Jin Yi to do this favor.

“Good.” Wei Jin also agreed.

Wei Ruo then gave Wei Jin Yi the key to her small storehouse, “This is the key, the wine is placed in the corner on the right hand side after entering the door, the altar with the red paper on it is it. Also, try not to have contact with people during your journey home.”

Wei Jin also stared at the key in his hand for two seconds before nodding, “Got it.”

Wei Jin also took the key and moved to help Wei Ruo fetch the wine.

When I left the house, Wei

Jane also went over the wall without letting the people in the house know, and when she returned to the house, she also went over the wall in the same way, and still didn’t alarm the guards in the house.

Seeing Wei Jin Yi come back, Xiao Bei greeted him with great excitement, “Young master, you’re finally back, you’ve been away for the past few days, I was really worried about revealing yourself.”

It’s a good thing that their wife doesn’t like the young master, and the master didn’t come back, so no one came to see the young master on New Year’s Day, which made it possible to get away with it.

However, Wei Jin also avoided him, keeping a distance of more than six or seven feet from him.

“I’ll take the things and leave, you continue to stay in the mansion, if you can cover it, cover it, if you can’t cover it, there’s no harm in revealing it,” he said. Wei Jin was not worried about his sneaking out of the house being discovered by the people in the house.

If he wasn’t found out, he would do less, and if he was found out, it wouldn’t be too much of a problem for him.

After saying that, Wei Jin Yi rolled over the three walls and went to Listening Pine Garden.

「Young master ……」 Xiao Bei only had time to call out 「Young master」, and the person was gone.

Xiao Bei sighed helplessly, “Hey, I want to say, since you’re not afraid of being found out, why don’t you take me with you, and you can still help Miss Xiu Mei.”

Wei Jin also moved all six jars of wine from Wei Ruo next door out of the storehouse.

The six jars of wine directly with the hand is bound to be bad to hold, Wei Jin also found a straw rope, after some weaving, several jars are tied together, so he can lift six jars of wine at once.

Even with the weight of six extra jars of wine on his body, Wei Jin was still able to leave quietly without being discovered by the guards of the mansion.

Wei Jin also successfully transported the wine to the small courtyard where Wei Ruo and his team worked and lived, and Wei Ruo then explained to Dr. Cheng and the others that they would use the wine to wash their hands and spray it all over their bodies every day when they came back.

Sterilizing with wine has been around for a long time, and the docs know about it.

Just generally used are turbid rice wine, see Wei Ruo sent wine is not only clear, and wine aroma is strong, at first glance is the expensive white wine.

“Little Mr. Xu, this wine of yours is going to sell for a lot of silver, it’s not appropriate to just take it out for us to wash our hands, is it?” Dr. Cheng couldn’t help but say.

”The stronger the wine, the better the effect… Although this wine is worth money, our lives are worth more.” Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Ruo loves money even more than he does, but he doesn’t equate it with his life.

She knows the difference between the lesser and the greater.

“That’s true. Sterilizing is best done with spirits. But Mr. Xu’s generosity is really admirable to us.” Dr. Cheng lamented.

“Don’t care about this, now as long as all can save their lives, silver or wine, will be available again later.” Wei Ruo said.

The crowd nodded.

In the past few days, they had already marveled at Wei Ruo’s words and actions more than once.

The crowd had nothing to say but to hide their gratitude and admiration in their hearts, and to thank them when they had the chance to do so in the future.
