Chapter 29: Meet Again (2)

"Young Master?"

Cao An came up in confusion, and he could not understand Zhao Yu's behavior just now.

The second son of the Tangtang Township Marquis' Mansion actually gave way to a private woman in the workplace?

And just as he was about to ask about this, he saw the quiet girl beside Zhao Yu, saying, "Young master, that woman... seems to be the person she saw that day?"

"Hmm." Zhao Yu nodded slightly.

"It's really her?" Jingnv patted her chest and said, "That day, she was so scared that she rushed over..."

"I thought she had no other way."

“It’s so pitiful…”

Listening to the conversation between Zhao Yu and Jingnu, Cao An grabbed his hair, but felt that he couldn't speak at all.

That woman rushed over that day? Poor?

What happened when I was not with the young master?

It was somewhat similar to the shocked Cao An. Zhang Ji didn't understand what happened. He couldn't help asking: "Second Young Master, do you recognize the woman just now?"

"I don't recognize it, I just met you once."

Zhao Yu shook his head and told Zhang Ji and Cao An about what happened in front of the mansion a while ago. Hearing that Zhang Ji and Cao An looked at each other, he didn't know what to say.

You should know that when Zhang Ji and Cao An were punished a while ago, they were both sent to guard the barn, so it was common for them to rush forward to pray for shelter. Even if necessary, they had to forcefully drive away the guard chief Zhang Chun as ordered by the orders of guard Zhang Chun.

But Zhao Yu was different. The woman patted the door of the mansion and cried heartbrokenly to the mansion to shelter her, at least shelter her two children. Zhao Yu has not forgotten until today.

He would not forget that when Zhang Ying ordered Zheng Luo and Niu Ji to close the door of the mansion, he saw the desperate appearance of the woman from the gradually closed door and from the crack of the door.

To be fair, Zhao Yu did not think that Zhang Ying did anything wrong at that time. After all, as the guard of the town marquis' mansion, he shouldered the responsibility of defending the town marquis' mansion. Zhang Ying should take the lead in ensuring the safety of the town marquis' mansion and considering the interests of the main family.

At the same time, Zhao Yu did not think that the Marquis' Mansion in a foreign country should do anything for this woman. The Marquis' Mansion in a foreign country does not owe these refugees, and the Luyang County town does not owe these refugees.

He just had pure sympathy for the woman with two children.

What about her husband? Why is he missing? So a woman is so lonely and helpless that she has two children?

Does she have any brothers and sisters?

After returning to his house with Jingnv that day, Zhao Yu couldn't help but think about these problems.

But at that time, he really couldn't help.

Later, when Zhao Yu showed some intelligence in front of his father, the Marquis of Luyang Township, so that when the Marquis of Luyang Township took him to Rushui counties, Zhao Yu had also secretly followed the woman in front of his mansion, but what made him feel a little regretful was that he did not find the woman at that time...

Since that day, Zhao Yu has never seen this woman again.

Where did she go?

Is she and her two children okay?

Zhao Yu couldn't help but think about these questions in recent days, but he never got the answer. Until today, he finally saw the woman again and saw her working place in Zhengxiang here, exerting labor in exchange for food.

At this moment, Zhao Yu was sincerely happy.

He did not arrogantly and foolishly think that "work-for-relief" was his own efforts, but his efforts were undeniable that Liu Ying, the Marquis of Luyang Township, could implement this strategy early, so that refugees in the country finally had a stable source of food and could finally see hope.

He did not ask these refugees to thank him, because all this was just his sympathy.

But it cannot be denied that when Zhao Yu saw that with his own efforts, the woman came to Zheng Township to exchange food for work, rather than waiting in despair to wait outside the Hou Mansion, Zhao Yu felt a little happy, but also felt a little accomplishment.

Although he hadn't even spoken to the woman.

Yes, no need.

In the following time, Zhao Yu paid extra attention to the woman.

Oh, he had already come up with a countermeasure about how to solve the problem of refugees in this work site. He was waiting for his father, the Marquis of Luyang Township, to arrive, Zheng Luo had sent someone to report the matter just now to the Marquis of Luyang Township, and he would definitely mention him. When the Marquis of Luyang Township, he learned that his youngest son was here, he would definitely come to ask about the situation. At that time, Zhao Yu would make some suggestions to his father.

Having said that, a person’s temporary words and actions may not be able to see through the person, but it can be roughly seen from the way a person does things.

Unlike Ding Lu who was cheating, this woman worked very hard like the family surnamed Totan. She was obviously thin, but she could carry a bamboo basket full of soil like those middle-aged men. Although her figure was slightly shaking, her steps were not so steady.

There was a baby about one or two years old tied to her chest with cloth!

Suddenly, the woman seemed to have tripped by something and fell to the ground.

In order to avoid oppressing the child who was tied to her chest with cloth, she subconsciously supported her with her elbow, but the bamboo basket she was carrying on her back poured out the soil and almost buried her.

"ah."

Seeing this scene from afar, Jingnv covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice.

Beside him, Zhao Yu's lips opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he immediately restrained it.

"mother!"

The half-old child next to the woman in the distance screamed and quickly took off the soil from his mother's back with his hands.

"It's okay, my mother just tripped accidentally."

The woman comforted her son and then looked at the child tied to her chest. Seeing that the child was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But for some reason, tears suddenly fell in her eyes.

"Mom, why are you crying? Is it hurt after falling? I'll rub you..."

"No, mom doesn't care, mom just... just..."

The tone was choked, and the woman didn't know how to explain, so she held her son in her arms.

Seeing this scene from afar, Jingnv said timidly: "Young Master, she is so pitiful... won't we help her?"

"..." Zhao Yu didn't say a word.

Indeed, he sympathized with the woman. Although the woman was not so beautiful, her helpless sobbing look at her at the moment made Zhao Yu feel quite uncomfortable.

But he didn't know if he should go up and help, or ask Zhang Ji and Cao An to help.

Objectively speaking, he shouldn't have come forward to help. There are no less than hundreds of refugees here, like falling to the ground with a basket of soil on their backs, which is common for these refugees. Most of the supervisors don't care about it, and those refugees have never asked the supervisory union to help them. At most, it's just mutual help among refugees.

Even these small things that refugees are used to, if Zhao Yu makes a big deal to help, he is worried that it will cause unnecessary trouble.

You know, he is the second son of the Housing Mansion in the nearby Housing Mansion, and the guards of the Housing in the nearby Housing are paying attention to him from time to time. His every move will inevitably affect the judgment of these guards who serve as supervisors.

Yes, Zheng Luo, the guard who was responsible for monitoring the refugees here, walked to the woman and asked kindly, "What's going on?"

When the supervisor asked, the woman was startled and wiped her tears in panic. She ignored her face being messed up by mud and tears, and forced a few smiles and explained: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the bitch accidentally tripped."

Zheng Luo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you get up? Why don't you go and take a break?"

I have to say that as far as Zheng Luo is responsible for the supervisor's duties at this moment, he does not know how to say this at all, nor can he say that the reason he would come here to investigate the situation of the woman was just because he noticed Zhao Yu's attention to this woman.

But obviously his concern had a counterproductive effect at this moment. The woman heard Zheng Luo's words and said in panic: "Zheng head, the bitch is not in trouble. The bitch still has strength. Don't drive me away..."

"Well……"

Zheng Luo opened his mouth and looked at Zhao Yu's location in a subtle way.

Although it was far apart, he could still feel that the second young master looked unswerving.

"That fool wanted to remedy his mistakes he made before, and this was not the case."

Zhang Ji shook his head secretly, after looking at Zhao Yu, he walked towards Zheng Luo, and shouted halfway: "Zheng Luo, come here and find you if you have something to do."

"Oh, OK."

Hearing Zhang Ji's shouting, Zheng Luo naturally had no time to take care of the woman. After asking him to "Be careful next time", he walked to Zhang Ji and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's the matter?"

"What are you doing?" Zhang Ji asked angrily.

"I...I didn't do anything." Zheng Luo said in a vague tone.

Seeing this, Zhang Ji rolled his eyes, reached out to Zheng Luo's neck, and whispered to him: "Boy, I know what you want to do. You find that the second young master is very concerned about that woman, right?... Don't be troublesome, you are the supervisor here, your duty is to monitor all the refugees present, not to help one of the women. If you help her, do you want to help the hundreds of other refugees? Are you busy alone? Put away your little thoughts and try to please the second young master in this way... It's okay if I tell you, the second young master does sympathize with the woman, but the second young master understands the principle that the overall situation is the most important thing. There are so many people here, and you can only help her. What do others think? Be honest and go back to your post!"

Zhang Ji exposed his thoughts and Zheng Luo left with a smirk.

Shaking his head and watching Zheng Luo walk away, Zhang Ji then walked back to Zhao Yu, clasped his fists and said, "Second Young Master, Bei Zhi has taught Zheng Luo a lesson."

Zhao Yu nodded.

I have to say that compared with Zhang Ji and Zheng Luo, Zhang Ji is more comprehensive in his consideration of the problem. He is worthy of being one of the two guards selected by the Hou Cong Mansion in Luyang Township to accompany Zhao Yu.

After receiving Zhang Ji's warning, Zheng Luo did not dare to approach the woman or provide any help. The woman was as strong as Zhao Yu thought. Although she had sobbed just now, after crying, she still gritted her teeth and carried a bamboo basket full of soil.

At this time, Zhao Yu said to Jingnu: "She doesn't need extra help, and we can't give her long-term help...this is enough."

The quiet girl nodded without understanding.

"Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding

In the distance, at the entrance of the village in Zhengxiang, a metal pounding sound came, like the sound of a slap on the battlefield.

Hearing this voice, the many refugees who seemed dead suddenly cheered, and they either crawled out of the canal quickly, or threw down the earth basket on their backs and ran towards the entrance of the village.

"The food is released at the entrance of the village." Zhang Ji explained concisely.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly and suddenly saw the woman holding a child, walking from a distance with her child in her arms. Although her body was covered with mud, there was a smile on her face at this moment.

The half-grown child beside her also shouted happily: "You have something to eat."

"Don't shout and disturb others."

Noting that Zhao Yu and others were standing not far away, the woman quickly signaled her eldest son to be quieter, and then walked quickly past Zhao Yu and others.

During this period, Zhao Yu took the initiative to nod to the woman. The woman was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't know how to respond, so she took her son's hand and walked away quickly.

Looking at the smiles on the mother and son's face, Zhao Yu gradually showed a few smiles on his face.

There are thousands of refugees pouring into Luyang County, and there are even more than this number at present. He cannot help these refugees too many, and all he can do is this. Whether he can change his destiny depends on the refugees themselves.

But he was sure that the mother and son would survive and even settle down in his Luyang County.

"Let's go and see what they eat at each meal."
