Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Chapter 648 Disaster Relief Supplies? I've Upgraded Them All!

Among the many supplies, Su Wanqing quickly picked out the first item—the work clothes made of cloth that were piled up the most in the warehouse.

This stuff is the most practical disaster relief material right now. It's durable and dirt-resistant, and it's exactly what the people in the disaster area need to get to work. A quick glance revealed that there were 200,000 sets, neatly stacked on moisture-proof wooden racks.

With a thought, she put all the items into her space and then returned them tenfold. The original 200,000 sets were put back exactly as they were, and no one would notice. In the blink of an eye, there were a full 1.8 million sets in her space.

For her second choice, she opted for a tent.

The resettlement sites have been moved several times, resulting in a huge shortage of tents. Eight thousand tents were stored in the warehouse, and they were taken back ten times the amount, returned in their original condition. There are currently seventy-two thousand tents remaining, enough to set up dozens more temporary resettlement sites.

Thirdly, she originally wanted to pick through the medicines and daily necessities, since there would definitely be no shortage of spiritual spring water, and with spiritual spring water, there would be no need for ten times the amount of medicine...

But to my surprise, I found tens of thousands of menstrual pads piled up in the corner, wrapped in coarse gauze, dusty and crammed among the clutter.

Su Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then her heart softened.

Nobody ever took this seriously, but it was extremely important to the women in the disaster area. The quantity wasn't large, but it was enough to make up ten times the amount. Without hesitation, she directly put it into her spatial storage, receiving a tenfold return, adding hundreds of thousands more items to her space.

After receiving the three items, Su Wanqing was in a great mood.

After thinking for a moment, she first threw her work clothes into the craftsmanship grid.

"Free upgrade!"

A flash of light, and the originally heavy, rough work clothes were transformed into crisp, durable, and rainproof workwear. The fabric was light yet strong, moisture-proof and dirt-resistant, and the colors were brighter. Su Wanqing nodded in satisfaction.

Then, her gaze fell on the pile of menstrual pads. The free ones were all used up, so she decided to start charging!

"Should I spend 29999 grams of precious metal to upgrade?"

"yes!"

The next second, those hundreds of thousands of coarse gauze menstrual pads all transformed into thin and soft modern sanitary napkins, each individually packaged with all labels removed, so clean they didn't seem like products of this era.

Su Wanqing's eyes lit up with surprise. This stuff would be a lifeline for women in the disaster area. If the number of uses increased tenfold again tomorrow, that would be millions of pieces.

Perfect timing, I can use it myself in the future! This paid upgrade is a great thing!

This trip to Hebei was worthwhile; I got work clothes, a tent, and even upgraded my women's products.

We'll do another tenfold increase tomorrow; whether we donate or keep, that'll be enough.

Sun Shuhai rubbed his hands together with joy:

"That's great, that's great! It's so timely that Comrade Su can help solve these problems! We don't know when the flood will recede, and the affected area is getting bigger every day. Everything we eat, drink, and use is full of holes."

"If it weren't for your batch of grain, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The land was completely flooded, the houses collapsed, and post-disaster reconstruction is the real problem... Look at me, just talking about such unlucky things!" He coughed and quickly smiled apologetically, "Comrade Su, now that we've finished inspecting the warehouse, let's take everyone to the accommodations we've arranged to rest, then we'll go to the nearest resettlement site to see the disaster victims, and then we'll come back for dinner."

"Okay, let's go check out the resettlement site first."

The group set off immediately.

This is the nearest resettlement site, and it is also the highest and relatively safest one.

Several jeeps rolled along the muddy dirt road and finally stopped in front of a makeshift shantytown made of tarpaulins and reed mats.

Despite the best conditions already, the scene was still one of devastation.

Liu Changhe led everyone out of the car. The ground was muddy, and the air was filled with the damp, earthy smell.

He smiled wryly and explained, "This is already the best. This resettlement site houses nearly 100,000 people, mostly from several nearby villages. Their houses were all flooded, so they evacuated quickly, but they didn't bring any of their belongings with them. There are many other resettlement sites like this, some on the riverbank highlands, and some in old factory areas."

Even the low-lying areas of the city were flooded, and those people were crammed into school playgrounds and commune auditoriums, making it even more difficult.

Su Wanqing looked up and saw that the densely packed sheds were full of elderly people and children.

Some women were twisting hemp rope, some were mending clothes, and a few elderly men were weaving bamboo baskets. Not far away, several middle-aged women were stacking woven sacks onto a cart, calling out to each other as they did so.

"Hurry, hurry, get your hands moving quickly, the front lines are waiting for us!"

An elderly woman with a very loud voice saw Liu Changhe and quickly ran over:

"Oh dear, Commander Liu, what brings you here? And why so many people with you? Why aren't these soldiers at the front lines? Weren't they saying the water level would rise further in the next couple of days, and everyone was moved to the dikes?"

Liu Changhe smiled and pointed to Su Wanqing: "Aunt Tian, ​​this is Comrade Su Wanqing, the great heroine who donated the rice dumplings and naan bread. She came here especially to see everyone."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Tian's eyes lit up instantly. She grabbed Su Wanqing's hand and her voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire shed area:

"Hey everyone, come here! They say women hold up half the sky, and it turns out the person who donated food to us was a woman! She's not just holding up half the sky, she's holding up the whole sky!"

Upon hearing that the woman who donated food had arrived, all the elderly and women put down what they were doing and swarmed around her, expressing their gratitude in a flurry of words.

Su Wanqing responded to each question with a smile, then asked:

"By the way, why are there so many elderly people and women here? Where are the young men?"

Aunt Tian waved her hand and said, "The men have all gone to fill sandbags and carry sandbags to support the front line. The dikes over there are under pressure, so we women are busy weaving burlap sacks and twisting straw ropes. We have to keep things going in the rear. If the front line runs out of burlap sacks, the water won't be contained, and who knows how many villages will be flooded."

Su Wanqing nodded, then asked, "So, what difficulties does everyone have now? Is there anything they lack?"

Aunt Tian smiled kindly: "The food you sent saved our lives! What else could we lack? Water is a bit scarce, but it's still better than what the men on the front lines are doing. They're doing incredibly strenuous work, much harder than us. We can't keep asking for more."

"That's right, we're not afraid of hardship, as long as we have something to eat and don't go hungry. As long as the flood recedes soon, we'll go home and rebuild our houses." Several women twisting straw ropes nearby chimed in.

Su Wanqing felt a warmth in her heart. People these days are so simple and honest that it's heartbreaking.

Despite his hands being covered in blisters and calluses, and his clothes being wet and then dried repeatedly, he never complained and was always thinking of saving money for others.

She cut to the chase and said directly, "I understand everyone's good intentions, but we can't make ourselves suffer too much..."
