Chapter 226 – Encountering Grateful Wei Ruo’s Disaster Victims on the Road

However, Wei Qingwan acted very unconcerned when facing Xu Yaogun’s provocation, being clear and proud, making all of Xu Yaogun’s efforts go in vain.

Therefore, today, Xu Yaogun caught the opportunity and specially used Wei Ruo’s matter to anger Wei Qingwan.

On weekdays, Xu Yaogun used other things to provoke Wei Qingwan she was able to stay calm, but today she obviously lost her usual mind, which made Xu Yaogun very satisfied.

Immediately after that, Xu Yaogun walked over to Wei Ruo’s side and took the initiative to climb into a conversation with Wei Ruo, “Miss Wei, your loquat paste is very good, it cured my grandfather’s persistent disease, both my grandfather and grandmother often praised you.”

“As long as it’s useful.” Wei Ruo’s attitude towards Xu Yaogun was basically the same as that towards the several ladies, polite and courteous, with a good degree of tension.

Xu Yaojun added: “Unlike that sister of yours, said to be talented, but I see her ah in addition to reading some poetry and books is nothing great, really to the time of need what use are not on.”

Xu Yaogun is deliberately praising Wei Ruo to use this to further belittle Wei Qingwan.

Wei Ruo looked at Xu Yaogun with some surprise.

This Miss Xu’s voice was not small, the several ladies walking at the front might not be able to hear it, but the several surrounding ladies could certainly hear it, including Wei Qingwan herself was no exception.

To count in front of people so openly, why does this act look so much like what the unfeeling cannon fodder girl in the movie would do?

In the original, Wei Qingwan’s side did not appear few such characters, Wei Qingwan is to respond with a cool and indifferent posture.

And in the end, most of these characters end up miserable because they can’t actually do anything long-brained other than being jealous of Wei Qing Wan.

It was no wonder that Wei Qingwan was able to act unperturbed in the face of their provocations, as their anger not only could not hurt Wei Qingwan whatsoever, but also side by side corroborated Wei Qingwan’s excellence in terms of looks and talent.

Wei Ruo smiled at Xu Yaogun, then intentionally brought the topic back to her grandfather’s persistent illness, “Does your grandfather still have a cough after going to bed at night lately?”

Xu Yaojun replied, “I don’t know after going to bed at night, but when I went to give him my respects, he hardly coughed when he drank tea and chatted with me, and laughed happily.”

After answering Wei Ruo’s question, Xu Yaogun immediately turned the topic back to Wei Qingwan, “Look at how weak your sister is, it’s as if this wind could blow her away.”

Xu Yaogun even glanced at Wei Qingwan with great disdain as she spoke.

Wei Ruo didn’t pick up on this, she didn’t know what kind of conflicts and contradictions there had been between Xu Yaogun and Wei Qingwan, but since she wasn’t familiar with Xu Yaogun, she wouldn’t just delve into such a topic with her.

Wei Qingwan had an iron-clad face, from the first day she entered the Tong Zhi Mansion for classes, Xu Yaogun had shown great hostility towards herself.

She hadn’t done anything to Xu Yaogun, simply because she had been praised by the gentleman for her outstanding performance in class, and then she had been sneered at and intentionally isolated.

She could care less about all of this, she knew very well that it was all Xu Yaogun’s incompetent rage, she couldn’t compare to herself before she reacted like this and found herself in all sorts of trouble.

She also knew that apart from verbal ridicule, Xu Yaogun couldn’t do any substantial harm to herself, and she had nothing to mind.

But when Xu Yaogun taunted herself along with Wei Qingruo, she felt that she couldn’t calm her heart to ignore it.

She couldn’t stand the mouths of people who couldn’t see themselves as good as Wei Qingruo one after another!

The group continued to walk along the flatter paths around the village.

Suddenly a peasant woman approached with her husband.

Seeing someone approaching, the maids accompanying her immediately stepped forward to stop them.

Seeing that she couldn’t get any closer, the woman knelt down far away from Wei Ruo.

“Ms. Wei!”

Wei Ruo looked at the woman with a surprised face, “May I ask who you are?”

“Ms. Wei, last year when I returned to Xishan Village with my toddler to visit my parents when I was struck by a natural disaster, you and your father and brother came to our Xishan Village to rescue us without fear of danger, so that our villagers in Xishan Village were able to get out of trouble. Later on, you also sent some food and quilts to us who were affected by the disaster, and only then were my parents able to survive safely.”

Immediately after the man beside the woman said, “Thank you, Ms. Wei, for saving my wife and son’s lives!”

Hearing the words of the woman and the man, the ladies and young ladies who were traveling with them all reacted, so it was the Wei family’s eldest lady who had done a lot of good things while in Xingshan County, and the visitor had come to offer her thanks.

Hearing this Mrs. Tongzhi signaled the maids to stop blocking the way, allowing the woman and the man to come a little closer.

Then the woman placed the basket in her hand on the ground in front of her, “I hope Miss Wei will accept these eggs.”

“You guys get up, the road is rocky, don’t hurt your knees.” Wei Ruo hurriedly shouted for people to get up, she really wasn’t used to being knelt down like this.

Xiu Mei followed suit and helped the woman and her husband to get up.

Wei Ruo then went on to say to the woman and her husband, “I appreciate your feelings, you can take these eggs back, whether you sell them for money or eat them yourselves.”

Eggs are very precious materials for farmers, this basket of eggs should be saved for at least half a month, this gift is very valuable, Wei Ruo can’t accept it.

“No, no, no, please accept these eggs, Ms. Wei. This is a little token of our appreciation!” The woman was very persistent in giving the eggs to Wei Ruo.

“No, really, I’ve received your thoughts, and I’m glad of them. If you truly appreciate me, treat yourself well, eat and live well, that’s what I hoped for when I did those things, not for you to scrimp and save to bring me food.”

The woman was filled with emotion.

Wei Ruo added: “This year will be another hard year, the fields are very tiring to plow, you should eat more eggs, so that you have the strength to work on the ground, and strive for a good harvest this year. And your child is also growing up, give him more eggs to make up for it.”

“Thank you Miss Wei, thank you Miss Wei! Acknowledge Miss Wei’s auspicious words! Thanks to Miss Wei’s auspicious words!” The couple bowed and thanked them repeatedly.

“Well, go back, don’t miss today’s farm work, these days is the time to plant rice seedlings, not to miss.” Wei Ruo said.

Listening to Wei Ruo’s words it was clear that she was very familiar with farming and knew what was being done at this time.

The couple nodded repeatedly and finally bowed deeply to Wei Ruo before leaving.

Then Wei Ruo told Mrs. Tongzhi to move on.

As they continued to walk forward, several of the ladies couldn’t help but praise Wei Ruo.

“I didn’t realize that Miss Wei was not only intelligent and capable, but also very kind and had done so many good deeds.”

“Compared to Ms. Wei, I’m a bit ashamed.”

“Miss Wei can you tell us in detail about the things you did to help those affected people in Xingshan County?”

“……”
