Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Resonating with Everyone

Yunyi knew that once the task was completed, Liu Chenglin would leave, but she never imagined he would handle things this way.

It was only when I saw the person that I understood why Liu Chenglin dared to do so—those two really looked very much alike.

I also understood why, since coming to the countryside, Liu Chenglin had little contact with the villagers and the Zhiqing Point, aside from the Branch Secretary and me.

However, I wasn’t going to embarrass myself by asking what was going on.

The Branch Secretary hadn’t much concealed the fact that Yunyi had been seconded to support the disaster area. So, when Yunyi arrived under the Willow Tree to wait for work assignments, the villagers quickly surrounded her.

The villagers kept asking about the disaster area. Yunyi recounted what she could, sticking to the facts. This touched the hearts of the more tender ones, who began to cover their mouths and cry.

The others were no better off; all eyes were red, and for a moment, the atmosphere was thick with sorrow.

Life, however, had to go on. Hearing Yunyi’s account stirred the villagers’ compassion. Each one declared they must contribute more public grain this year to ensure people in the disaster area had food and to support the nation.

Even the village cadres were moved by everyone’s enthusiasm. "Don’t worry," one reassured them, "I’ll go to the commune today and settle this matter."

There were objections raised in the village, but the minority yielded to the majority, and so the matter was settled.

The villagers stated that while they couldn’t do much else, tightening their belts to support the disaster area was within their capabilities. It wasn’t as hard, they reasoned, as the famine years they had endured.

I truly hadn’t anticipated that simply speaking the truth would resonate so deeply with everyone.

This is the spirit of our nation, I thought. Even while struggling with basic subsistence, the ethos of mutual aid remains: when one region faces difficulty, support comes from all sides.

Their contributions might be insignificant, but a single spark can start a prairie fire. Suddenly, many ideas flashed through Yunyi’s mind.

I might not have thought much about the future before, but now my heart raced. The future felt full of promise!
