Chapter 597
It's just a very ordinary sentence, not even inspiring. But it is the most heart-warming sentence when heard by these soldiers who have experienced injuries, fear, despair and helplessness. They are just ordinary soldiers, and they don't ask for anything else. I don't have any ambitions, I just want peace and food and clothing, which is enough.
"Ma'am, it's very rare for us to have a roof over our heads and food and clothing. We can't thank you enough."
"No need to thank me. Although I am willing to give you a place to live and live a good life, you have to rely on your own labor and hands to create it."
Everyone understood the meaning of Su Wenyue's words, but they were still grateful. Those who could stay here were all of good character. At least there were no major problems during this period of time, so Han Yu allowed these people to follow Su Wenyue. Around us, there is a saying that you know the person but not the heart. Maybe some people hide it too well, so no one notices anything wrong.
"Madam, don't worry. Before I came here, the general had already told me the rules we should abide by. Although we all came back injured from the battlefield and were disabled, we still won't be disabled. If you have any orders, madam, just give them." Let’s do it.”
Su Wenyue nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Although you are physically disabled, as long as you are not mentally disabled, you can still live a wonderful life and be a useful person."
Because of their physical disabilities, these people all have low self-esteem and have a pessimistic attitude. Su Wenyue’s words not only made them feel respected, but also saw hope. As the lady said, even if they are physically disabled, as long as they have If you are not mentally disabled, you are a useful person, even if you may not necessarily achieve wonderful things.
"Madam's golden words, I have learned from you, and I will do my best to do things for you in the future and repay your kindness." The leader who spoke was formerly a young general named Wei Dong. He retreated from the army at the same time as ordinary soldiers, but he did not want to stay in the army and drag others down, so he chose to follow his wife. At that time, he only had the thought of giving up on himself, but now he feels that his decision was correct. Just based on Madam's previous actions and today's words, it can be seen that Madam is an extraordinary woman. If she stays by Madam's side, she might really be able to accomplish something.
After Wei Dong finished speaking, other soldiers also followed suit, but no one noticed that when one of the soldiers with a simple face lowered his head, a dark light flashed in his eyes, which was so fast that no one could see it. In addition, he had a low profile. He kept his head down, so no one noticed.
No matter how much you say now, it's all lies. What's more, these soldiers have been hit both physically and psychologically. Su Wenyue didn't give any instructions. He just asked people to settle them down. No matter how much you say, it's better to give them something substantial. People feel at ease.
"My wife asked people to rush to build these houses. Because of the limited conditions, we can only do this. They are not very good, nor are they very big, but they can be protected from wind and rain, and they can give you a place to stay. . You have also seen that even the madam herself only lives in a small courtyard with two entrances. I hope you will not have any dissatisfaction or complaints about this. If there is anything missing, you can raise it. As long as it is not too much, the madam has ordered us. I will try my best to satisfy you.”
Everyone looked at the big blue brick house in front of them. Although it was not magnificent, they were not rich gentlemen either. For them, this was already a very comfortable place to live. It was many times more comfortable than living in a tent. Even if I have lived in this home before, and there are few places better than this one. What else can I be dissatisfied with? If you are dissatisfied, you are being ungrateful. Just like Second Lieutenant Fang said, Madam doesn't owe them anything. She is already kindhearted by giving them a place to go.
"Miss Xiao Xi, this is already very good. I used to live in mud houses in the village, which were covered with thatch. When it rained, water leaked everywhere. I have never lived in such a nice blue brick house with large tiles in my life. I didn't expect that I would end up living in this situation. If I continue to complain, wouldn't I be heartless and inferior to a pig or a dog? My mother said that as a human being, you must cherish your blessings, otherwise you will be punished by God. "
The speaker was a simple and honest man. He also had brothers and an old lady at home. Because he was disabled, he didn’t want to go back and drag his family down, so he chose to stay. I was afraid that the conditions and restrictions my wife had put forward at the time, coupled with the rumors, would The life here will not be easy, but they are just surviving. Who would have thought that Madam would be so friendly to them today.
Because of their disabilities, no matter who looks at them, they treat them with pity and contempt. However, Madam treats them like ordinary people and allows them to live in such a good place. The servants in the mansion are also kind to them. , truly treating them as one of their own.
So when I heard Xiao Xi's words, I immediately expressed excitement and expressed my inner thoughts, which were also the thoughts of most people present.
Xiao Xi hurt his wife because of the previous rumors. Even though he had sympathy for these disabled soldiers before, he later became more angry and disgusted, so his attitude was not very enthusiastic. However, because of his wife's instructions, he didn't show it on his face. Now After hearing what the man said and seeing everyone like this, I felt a little more comfortable.
Xiao Xi was not a cruel person to begin with, and her life experience was also pitiful. After a few exchanges, her attitude towards these disabled soldiers became much better, and a smile appeared on her face, which made these disabled soldiers more attractive. It feels heartwarming.
They all know that Xiao Xi is the eldest maid that Madam values around, and she can treat them like this. It is true that like a master, like a servant. Madam is so kind-hearted, and the maids around her are also good.
"Miss Xiaoxi, you have worked hard today. We know what we should know. We are all grown men, not children. We can take care of ourselves. You should take a rest. You are tired after being busy for so long."
"Well, I will go back first. Madam is still waiting for me to go back. I am afraid she is also worried about whether you have settled down. I have to go and tell Madam. You should rest early after you have settled down. You don't need to do anything for the past two days. Madam said that you may not have rested well these days. These two days are for rest. You can work well only after you have adjusted your state. The emperor does not lack hungry soldiers. As for meals, someone will send them to you on time."
While Xiaoxi was talking, Su Wenyue sent someone to send some medicine: "Madam said that the conditions in the barracks are not good and there are many injured people. You can't go to the battlefield again. I am afraid that you will not get much. I guess your injuries are not fully healed. These medicines were bought by Madam at a high price. The effect is good. Let me send them to you."
