The fierce stepmother of the farm family, brought her cubs to get rich

Chapter 498
This time, Gu Manxiu really used everything that was available.

But at this time, everyone will still have various ideas, so it is quite rare to maintain order.

In the end, they just finished sending out the cotton clothes.

Before going back, Gu Manxiu prepared a cotton coat for the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was obviously flattered, and felt that it would be better for Gu Manxiu to give these clothes to those in need, so he was already making haste.

"Now that everyone has clothes to wear, we can't let you, a parent officer, live without cotton clothes for the winter."

Gu Manxiu still has a good impression of such a good official, even Jiang Yichen told him to take it and wear it, and talk about other things after returning home.

Hearing that the county magistrate finally did not continue to decline, he felt that the adults sent by the court this time were really kind, especially when he saw the things Gu Manxiu sent, he couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

"It was said before that the person His Majesty arranged for the disaster relief was a newly appointed adult. I was a little worried that someone would embezzle the relief money. Now it seems that you are our reborn parents."

This is not the case, Gu Manxiu couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The county magistrate is also really helpless, he can only watch his people suffer such grievances and tortured by such heavy snow.

Probably more uncomfortable than freezing himself.

Gu Manxiu and Jiang Yichen arrived at the county magistrate's mansion, and only then did they understand why he, as a county magistrate, had no thick clothes to wear. It turned out that all of them were used to make cotton clothes for distribution to the common people.

This is definitely a good official, but he doesn't look too young, so why is he still a county magistrate?

"I'm ashamed to say that when I was in Beijing, I offended Liu Shangshu because of some things, so I was directly demoted here, and there was no possibility of further promotion. I thought that Liu Shangshu's downfall this time must be giving me a chance, but I didn’t expect to encounter such heavy snow.”

Although this is a natural disaster, it still has a great impact on his performance appraisal.

Jiang Yichen frowned, feeling that the magistrate was a little too pessimistic.

"I will intercede for you according to the facts this time. Besides, natural disasters are not man-made disasters. Your Majesty will still understand your good intentions."

Now the imperial court lacks such officials. If the emperor sees such officials, he definitely hopes to train them well.

Even though this person is already a little old, being an official doesn't pay much attention to this.

"Then I will thank you sir first."

The county magistrate has always been very polite to Gu Manxiu and the others, and Gu Manxiu couldn't help sighing that this county magistrate is really a rare good official.

The group of people just drank some hot soup for dinner, the weather was really unbearable, even Gu Manxiu curled up in Jiang Yichen's arms in the middle of the night.

I couldn't help sneezing when I woke up the next day.

"I tell you to stay in the capital well. The weather over there is not so bad. It's good for you to come with me now. You know how uncomfortable it is?"

Listening to Jiang Yichen's complaints, Qin Yuan knew that he was just talking casually now, but in fact he still felt sorry for himself.

Besides, it's not really a cold, it's just a sneeze.

The two simply tidied up, Jiang Yichen found a heater somewhere, stuffed it in for Gu Manxiu, and told her to hold it carefully and not to run around casually.

"I see, I still have to give porridge today."

But this time Gu Manxiu was also fully prepared, mainly because yesterday was too hasty, and now she is ready.

Gu Manxiu took a deep breath, and when she opened the door, she was still a little dizzy from the cold.

"The weather is really too cold."

She was literally freezing to death.

Jiang Yichen helped her protect her from the wind and snow, looking at Gu Manxiu's bright red face, he was somewhat worried.

"You don't want to go out today, and I'll give you the porridge."

Gu Manxiu touched her nose, thinking that she must be really stupid.

"No, at this time, if you go by yourself, you will definitely be too busy. I'll just help. By then, the porridge shed should not be so cold."

Now she simply hoped that Jiang Yichen would not have to work so hard.

Besides being cold, isn't Jiang Yichen not cold?

In fact, the feelings between the two are the same, it's just because Jiang Yichen has to do it, and he is here to help, so Jiang Yichen always feels that he has worked hard.

In fact, Gu Manxiu didn't feel that she was doing a lot of things, but she just didn't want to see these people suffer too much.

"I don't know when the heavy snow will stop."

If this continues, they will definitely not be able to rebuild the house.

Especially watching the heavy snow crushing so many people, this is really too miserable.

"Okay, keep standing here, we're all going to be frozen. If we have this time, it's better to pack up now and go have breakfast."

In this weather, everyone still prefers to drink hot soup. For example, it is the first time that Gu Manxiu thinks that this simple tomato and egg soup is so delicious.

"You two have worked hard."

Now there are still some better-built houses that have not been crushed, even the warehouses of the prefect's mansion have collapsed, which shows how serious the heavy snow is.

"Has the snow on the prefect's roof been cleared?"

"Oh, I woke up early in the morning and went to clean it up."

In fact, it is difficult to ensure safety when cleaning the snow on the roof at this time.

But the magistrate definitely couldn't ask Gu Manxiu and Jiang Yichen to clean it up, so he had no choice but to bring his servants up there himself.

"I really wanted to ask yesterday, why are there so few servants in the mansion, magistrate?"

"They also have family members, or else they have fled."

Gu Manxiu should have seen it yesterday. There are only a few old and weak women and children in Qingyuan County, and the strong ones have basically run away.

This realization made Gu Manxiu feel very heartbroken.

But at this time, everyone knows to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Some old people are burdensome to take with them. Such a heavy snow day is not as safe as in Qingyuan County.

Because of this incident, Gu Manxiu became more gentle when sending porridge, and could not help showing some sympathy for them.

"Thank you sister."

Gu Manxiu patted the head of the child in front of her, feeling that there are some things that children are really suffering from.

Some people don't even want their own flesh and blood, which shows how cruel they are.

The county magistrate also saw the child and couldn't help sighing.

"Actually, it can't be his mother's fault. This child has lost his father since he was a child, and was brought up by his mother. Now he really can't bear it anymore."
