Chapter 1543 Fundraising (7)
While the onlookers didn't wipe away their tears, the chubby girl did.
Receiving a look from her mother, she had no choice but to step onto the stage to perform.
My eyes were red, my nose felt sore, and my eyes were so red that I looked like I had conjunctivitis.
She choked back tears as she said, "The disaster victims are so pitiful, and Xiaoxiao is so heartbroken. Grandma, Mom, Xiaoxiao also wants to donate her gold bracelet to get money to buy clothes, quilts, charcoal for heating, and more..."
Her true feelings were revealed; she was so heartbroken, so sad, so reluctant to part that she couldn't even speak.
The chubby girl clumsily removed the gold bracelet, her heart bleeding. Finally, with a heavy heart, she placed the bracelet next to the hairpin.
She burst into tears, sobbing, "Xiaoxiao is so sad, the disaster victims are so pitiful, sob sob sob..."
The little girl was so heartbroken that she was afraid she would snatch the gold bracelet back if she looked at it again.
Woohoo~~~
Sister Yun looked at the chubby girl with satisfaction and gently comforted her, "Good girl, you are such a kind-hearted girl. Your mother thanks you on behalf of the disaster victims."
The chubby girl looked at Sister Yun with a pitiful expression, a feeling of grievance welling up inside her.
Thinking that when her father came back, she would definitely ask him to buy her a gold bracelet.
Then Hu Ming donated his inkstone, and the thin, weak little black girl with a "I'm so poor" expression donated a pair of silver bracelets.
Yun Jie'er's eyes swept over all the ladies.
It's as if they're saying: Look, my whole family donated things for the disaster victims, and if you don't do something in return, you might not even get out of the government office.
The ladies: .....
How ruthless Madam Sun is! How skilled at acting!
He has a round and chubby appearance, and seems honest and simple, but in reality, he is just like Lord Sun, very cunning.
No wonder they became a couple; you can't have two different kinds of people sleeping in the same bed.
Madam Wang forced herself to come out and said hypocritically, "I will also donate."
He smiled and looked at Madam Su and Sister Yun, then said, "The disaster victims outside are really pitiful. In the dead of winter, with the New Year just around the corner, we are well-fed and clothed. How can we bear to see them suffer from hunger and thirst?"
After saying that, she took off the gold hairpin from her hair and put it on the table.
Wiping away her tears, she said softly, "Everyone, if you have money, contribute money; if you have strength, contribute strength. If we unite as one, we will definitely be able to help the disaster victims overcome their difficulties."
Yun Jie looked at Madam Wang with appreciation and gently took Madam Wang's hand.
She said gently, "Madam Wang, that's what I think too. If everyone works together and contributes a little love, the disaster-stricken people will receive help. As people from Yuanlu, how can we remain indifferent when we see our fellow villagers suffering?"
The ever-showy young lady, Wang, also stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Sun, I'd like to donate too. I also want to help the disaster victims."
After saying that, he placed the two gold ingots on the table.
He said to the chubby girl, "Xiaoxiao, let's donate together so that the disaster victims can get help. I'll be happy, are you?"
Happy? That's impossible!
The chubby girl didn't want to talk to the little girl.
Helplessly, her mother's fierce gaze swept over her like that of a stepmother.
The chubby girl nodded and said, "Sister Wang, I'm happy too."
The little girl grinned and laughed happily: "Xiaoxiao, we should all help people in the future, hehe, that will make us even happier."
Little Fatty: .....
Crying without tears!
The wives of the county magistrate's top two officials both donated. The rest had no choice but to donate.
Madam Wu and her entourage donated jewelry and silver.
Before long, the table was filled with "gold and silver jewelry," which made everyone's hearts burn with excitement.
Madam Ma, in particular, donated a full 50 taels.
Wow, that's quite a generous gesture.
Yun Jie'er looked at Madam Ma with burning passion.
Gently taking Mrs. Ma's large, plump hand, he said with a bright smile, "Mrs. Ma, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the disaster victims."
Madam Ma laughed and whispered, "Madam Sun, don't be so polite. This is what we should do. I'm happy to be able to help the disaster victims."
Seeing how warmly Madam Sun treated her, Madam Ma's heart instantly burst into colorful fireworks.
Before we came, the master instructed us to cooperate fully with Madam Sun. He told us to donate money when asked, without hesitation or reluctance.
We must curry favor with Madam Sun and engage in diplomacy with her to gain benefits for our own family.
Ma, the wealthy merchant, originally wanted to take the route of sending a concubine, but unfortunately, Sun Shan was a gigolo and Madam Sun was a Tyrannosaurus Rex, so this route was completely blocked.
He had no choice but to have his wife lie in wait, so that whenever she had the chance, she could get close to Madam Sun and flatter her.
They followed the route of "Madame Sun influencing Lord Sun" to find a powerful backer for their business.
Magistrate Wang is a local tyrant who has long since seized all business opportunities. Now that there's finally a chance to sell bird droppings fertilizer, he's determined to get his hands on it.
Now, the only one who can resist Magistrate Wang is Lord Sun.
Ma, the wealthy merchant, racked his brains to find a way to succeed. (No further information provided.)
Nai Sunshan is shrewd and unapproachable; no, he takes all the benefits but does nothing.
They ate the sugar coating, but threw away the cannonball.
After being depressed for a long time, Ma Fushang picked himself up and arranged for his wife to use her connections with Madam Sun.
Following in Madam Ma's footsteps, Mrs. Zeng and Mrs. Zhu, the three wealthy brothers, actively donated money.
If any one of the three gains Madam Sun's favor, everyone's business will be much easier.
After praising Madam Ma, Sister Yun went on to praise Madam Zeng and Madam Zhu.
Since the three of them donated the most, and saying words of gratitude didn't cost any money, Sister Yun was happy to waste her breath.
Sister Yun said with a smile, "Everyone, thank you all for your generous donations today. The disaster-stricken people outside are now more saved."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I will register all the donations received today and send them to the respective prefectures for your convenience."
Madam Wang smiled and said, "Madam Sun, there's no need for such trouble."
Registering them, huh? Is it so they can compare who donated more or less?
Madam Sun is truly cunning!
Sister Yun shook her head repeatedly and said, "Madam, yes, we'll do it. Not only will the donated items be registered and recorded, but we'll also keep a detailed record of where they'll be used, so everyone can check them. We'll be even happier to see clearly who benefits from the donated supplies."
Sister Yun must clearly distinguish between melon fields and plum trees.
She wouldn't be greedy.
Then he added, "Madam Wang, Madam Wu, Madam Liang, and Madam Ma, after I have sorted out the donations, we will send them to the government office together so that they can help us deliver them to the people."
No one present was a fool; they naturally understood Yun Jie'er's intention when she said that.
The purpose is to have everyone oversee the process, ensure the donations are implemented effectively, and avoid gossip.
Mrs. Ma's eyes sparkled when her name was called.
Thinking to herself, Madam Sun not only made the official's wife busy, but she also made her get involved.
Does this foreshadow an initial victory for his wife's diplomacy?
Does this foreshadow that he has infiltrated the ranks of the wives of officials and thus risen to prominence among the wives of merchants?
Madam Ma became increasingly pleased with herself, and couldn't wait to return to her husband to report on the battle situation so she could claim credit and benefits.
