Chapter 146 - 0146: Miserable Brothers 2_1
Even with the food that Feng Qingxue secretly brought, Feng Shuanzhu didn’t dare to let the common people in the team eat freely. Until now, it was only when a family was truly unable to survive that he would generously distribute some coarse grains to help them through their difficulties.>
The food wasn’t given for free, the recipients were kept on record, with labor credits used as payment in the end.
As secretary, Feng Shuanzhu’s family was also struggling. Hence, Feng Shuanzhu’s wife immediately accepted with a beaming smile, "Feng Qingxue, we will accept your generous offer. Rest assured that we will take care of Xiaoyun and will not let anyone harm her. Feng Qingyun, being such a small child, how many pieces could he possibly eat? What’s ultimately left is for our family."
Feng Qingxue returned home and set off very early the next day.
It was such a long distance. If she wanted to return the same day, she had to be on the road by four or five o’clock.
On the way, she walked the mountainous paths, cycled the flat ones when no one was around, and had her breakfast on the go. She reached into her space and took out warm porridge and buns, then hurried along, finally reaching her destination around ten o’clock.
Throughout her journey, she realized there was a sizable number of orphans.
She didn’t dare to look too closely, fearing her heart would soften at the sight of the pitiful, emaciated children.
After repeatedly inquiring, she found the dilapidated temple that Chen Ming had mentioned and saw many children of various ages. There were about a dozen children, the oldest around their early teens and the youngest about five or six. Most of them were girls, all dressed in rags and looking unkempt.
