"In the evening, Magistrate Qi County came over and told us about the donation situation in the past two days. The amount of money raised so far is less than 5,000 taels. And in the past two days, donations have basically been raised all over Changdao County. Those who are willing to donate the day before yesterday
, everyone came to collect donations yesterday, and basically no one came to collect donations today." Fang Yu replied.
After hearing this answer, Tao Qiqi already knew it, but she was surprised to be able to raise 5,000 taels of funds.
After all, the amount of money she raised that night was only over three thousand taels.
All the big households in Changdao County donated together.
Unexpectedly, the retail investors who came to collect donations in the past two days could also donate more than a thousand taels.
There are still many good people in this world.
very nice!!
"I still have two thousand taels here. I've been with you all the way, so I can't spend much money. It's enough to keep some loose silver. It's better to use this money to help the fellow villagers who are suffering than to carry it around with no place to use it.
OK." At this time, Jiang Su took out two silver notes from his arms and handed them to Tao Qiqi.
Tao Qiqi looked at the banknote handed over by Jiang Su and did not refuse. She stretched out her hand to take the banknote and said, "Okay, then I will not be polite to Aunt Jiang on behalf of the fellow villagers."
"I have five hundred taels here." Fang Yu also handed the banknotes he prepared to Tao Qiqi from his arms.
Although she had spent almost all the money she had spent on buying and opening a shop, her shop's business was pretty good. She had made some money in more than a month, and in addition to helping Tao Qiqi Restaurant before, Tao Qiqi also gave her some
, got together and took five hundred taels.
But this time, looking at Fang Yu's money, Tao Qiqi refused.
"You can keep this little money for your own business later. And if you finally earn some money, you should also save it to add to your dowry in the future. If we can't handle the matter in Jinxiang County now, you can still apply to the higher authorities. We will always
I have to believe that the higher-ups will definitely not ignore it.”
Fang Yu: "We will naturally believe that the third brother will not ignore it, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and water far away cannot save the fire nearby. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming in one month, the suffering folks don't know how to spend it.
Now that we are here, we are also working hard to help the fellow villagers who are suffering, and every one of them is counted as one. At worst, I will let the third brother alone compensate me with a generous dowry."
"I think what Xiaoyu said makes sense. Every one counts. This is my share. Although it's not much, it's better than nothing." Qi Mei also gave part of her family fortune to Tao Qi.
seven.
After listening to what her family members said, Tao Qiqi finally accepted them all.
If it's not enough later, she'll come up with a solution.
There should be a reply to the letter she sent to Yongdu in a few days.
I hope Shan Qing can come back with good news.
"By the way, I asked Shan Qiang to send a letter back to Jiangdu to my grandmother and the others. Haven't you come back yet?"
"I'm back, I'm back." As soon as Tao Qiqi finished speaking, Shan Qiang's voice rang from outside the door.
Following the sound, they saw Shan Qiang walking towards them quickly. After entering the room, he picked up the teapot on the table and drank heavily without saying a word.
It wasn't until the pot of tea was finished that he put it down and wiped the tea stains from the corners of his mouth.
"Why are you so thirsty? Do you want to add another pot?" Lixia asked.
Shan Qiang waved his hand, "No need." Then he took out an envelope and a cloth bag from his arms and handed them to Tao Qiqi. Then he also took off the package on his back and handed them to Tao Qiqi.
"The letter was written by the madam's father to the girl and the madam. In addition, the cloth bag was prepared by the old man and the old man. They knew that the girl was here to help the villagers who were suffering, and they were worried that the girl would be poor for money, so they prepared ten thousand taels.
Banknote."
"In addition, the master also said that if it is not enough, just tell him and he will find a way. Inside the package are clothes made by the old lady for the girl. It was supposed to be used as a meeting gift, but the old lady was worried that the girl would catch cold while running around.
So let me bring it over and give it to the girl first."
Seeing the 10,000 taels of silver notes that suddenly fell from the sky and the new clothes made by her grandmother, Tao Qiqi suddenly became a little distracted.
Especially the 10,000 taels of silver notes.
This was given to her by her grandfather and her father, whom she had never met. Although it was for her to help refugees, the starting point was still because of her and he did not want her to be in trouble for the money.
Just because he didn't want her to get sleepy, he spent a lot of money on it.
Ten thousand taels is not a small amount of money.
Just give it to her and support her to do what she wants to do and solve the difficulties of refugees. This is not something that any family can do.
What's more, she has never met them before.
Even though her father was once a general, he should be very rich, and ten thousand taels may not be a big deal, but it still depends on his intentions. Being able to take it out is enough to show his intentions.
It shows that he has already accepted her daughter even though he has never met her.
This made Tao Qiqi, who had always been worried, feel a little flattered for a moment, and it was really not an ordinary flattery.
Unexpectedly, her father had already accepted her without ever meeting her.
Not to mention grandfather and grandmother.
Even though her grandmother was not in good health, she was still worried about her, so she made clothes for her and had them delivered.
"Qiqi, Qiqi." Seeing Qiqi motionless, Qi Mei tugged on her sleeve and shouted.
After Qi Mei called out twice, Tao Qiqi finally came to her senses, took the cloth bag and letter handed over by Shan Qiang, then put the money in her pocket and started reading the letter.
The content of the letter was very simple, talking about daily routines and explaining things that they didn't need to worry about.
After reading the letter, Tao Qiqi handed it to her mother and went to try on the new clothes made by her grandmother.
There are two sets in total. Grandma said in the letter that she and Xiaoyu each have one set.
So Tao Qiqi opened the package and took a set and handed it to Fang Yu.
Seeing this, Fang Yu quickly waved her hand: "Grandma made this for you, I can't have it."
Tao Qiqi: "Take it. Grandma has already told us in the letter that each of us sisters will have one set. Go and try it on to see if it fits. Both sets are the same. You can only know the size by trying it on."
"There are words on it." Shan Qiang stepped forward and reminded, "The girl's suit has a number seven on it, and Miss Xiaoyu's suit has a jade on it."
"At this."
"It's true, then this set is yours, and this set is mine." After Shan Qiang reminded Tao Qiqi, she discovered that there were indeed words embroidered on it, then she picked up another set and exchanged it with Xiaoyu.
Then they both ran back to the room to try it out.
Putting on the new clothes made by her grandmother, Tao Qiqi changed back to her daughter's clothes.
Looking at her daughter pretending to be herself in the bronze mirror, Tao Qiqi smiled happily.
From now on, she will also have children who are loved by her father, mother, grandfather and grandmother.
very nice.
There is no need to worry that her father will disown her or her grandparents will not like her granddaughter.
