“Does Ruoruo have anything else?” Xie Ying asked.

“Some charcoal.” Wei Ruo replied.

-Where did Ruoruo get the charcoal? When I asked my mother, she said it’s getting cold quickly this year, and charcoal isn’t easy to buy.” “I purchased it early, which of course would be more difficult these days. I remember telling you about this before.

“You did mention, but my mother thought it was too early, afraid that the charcoal would get damp if bought too soon, and when we wanted to buy more these days, it was already too late.”

-Don’t worry, I have plenty left, even silver-charcoal. If your manor is short, I can lend some to you,” Wei Ruo suggested.

“There’s no need,” Xie Jue took over, “My father has already ordered a batch from the Capital City, which will be shipped here by river in a few days. Our manor won’t run out of charcoal. It’s just that we can’t provide the disaster-stricken commoners with charcoal now.

-Alright then,” said Wei Ruo, ending the discussion on that matter. After their conversation, Wei Jinyi arrived on horseback, with a cart full of charcoal behind him.

Seeing Wei Jinyi, Xie Ying asked curiously, “Ruoruo, who is this?”

“This is my second brother,” Wei Ruo answered.

“Your second brother? Why haven’t I seen him before?” Xie Ying asked.

Hearing this, Xie Jue couldn’t help but say, “Sister, isn’t it normal that you haven’t seen men from other families? It would be more strange if you have met them all.”

Which girl meets men from other families every day?

Ordinarily, the opportunities to meet men from other families are very limited.

Like now, it’s a special occasion under special circumstances.

“That’s true, I indeed haven’t met many,” Xie Ying considered seriously before saying.

Then Xie Jue scrutinized Wei Jinyi, “However, I’ve never met the second brother of Miss Wei’s family either.

It was normal that Xie Ying hadn’t met him, but it was strange that even Xie

Jue hadn’t.

Wei Mingting had been working in Xingshan County for some time, and Wei Jinyi seemed to be about the same age as him. Logically, they should have met several times.

He had often seen the eldest son of the Wei Family, Wei Yichen, but he had never seen this second young master before.

Curiosity and scrutiny shone in Xie Jue’s eyes as he looked at Wei Jinyi.

Although he had never met him in person, he had heard a little about Wei Jinyi.

It was said that he was a melancholic, introverted, and timid person.

But the man standing in front of him was a graceful young master, with bright eyes and white teeth, elegant manners. There wasn’t a trace of melancholy or timidity.

-My second brother likes to keep to himself and usually stays at home, that’s why Big Brother Xie never met him,” Wei Ruo explained for Wei Jinyi.

Wei Jinyi took the initiative to greet Xie Jue, “Wei Jinyi has met Young Master

Xie.”

Xie Jue immediately returned the greeting and asked, “Xie Jue has met the Second Young Master Wei. Where are you studying now?

Generally, men of his age from nobility were either studying or practicing martial arts. Seeing Wei Jinyi’s gentle temperament, and not like those rash men who are adept at wielding weapons, he guessed that Wei Jinyi must be studying.

“I’m learning from the Tibetan layman and haven’t attended any private school.” Wei Jinyi replied.

Xie Jue was surprised, “Are you the one favored by the Tibetan layman?”

Wei Jinyi made no attempt to deny it.

Xie Jue couldn’t help but take a closer look at Wei Jinyi again. The first time was because he didn’t match the rumors, and the second time was because the Tibetan layman hadn’t taken any disciples for many years. Now the rumor says that he has taken a new disciple, and it turns out to be the seemingly insignificant second young master of the Wei Family.

Studying under the Tibetan layman was not a difficult task for Xie Jue, who spends his years in the Capital City, with more opportunities to meet erudite scholars. However, for most families in Xingshan County, it was something they could only dream about.

Before Xie Jue finished observing, Xie Ying was already impatient and urged, “Alright, Brother, stop stalling. Let’s talk more on the way. Hurry to the village, or it will be dark!”

“Alright, alright,” Xie Jue quickly withdrew his gaze from Wei Jinyi and ordered the Xie family’s entourage to prepare for the journey.

Wei Ruo, Wei Jinyi, Xiumei, and the Xie siblings, along with the Xie family’s entourage, set off towards the west of the city.

There are many small villages here, among which the landslide-stricken West Mountain Village is one of them, also the first stop for them.

Upon seeing Wei Ruo, the villagers greeted them warmly. When they saw the supplies brought by Wei Ruo and his team, they were immediately overcome with gratitude.

The slightly hunchbacked elderly village chief hobbled to the village entrance, expressing his gratitude to Wei Ruo and the others on behalf of the villagers, “Young Master Wei, Miss Wei, we are already grateful that you came to rescue us, protecting our families, how can you still bring us so many good things, how are we supposed…”

“Village Chief, the rice, cotton clothes, and quilts are all brought by the young master and miss of the Xie Family,” Wei Ruo clarified.

The porridge was supplied by Wei Ruo, and Xie Ying provided the manpower; The supplies sent to West Mountain Village were mainly from the Xie Family, and Wei Ruo had to make this clear.

Hearing this, the village chief hurriedly led the others to thank Xie Jue and Xie Ying, to the point that he was about to kneel down.

Xie Jue promptly stopped the village chief, “Village Chief, please stand up, we can’t accept this. In the face of this natural disaster, there’s no distinction between us.”

Xie Ying seconded, “What my brother said is right, Village Chief, please don’t be formal with us.”

Hearing this, the village chief almost burst into tears. This year’s crops were not good, and the sudden drop in temperature caused the vegetables grown by the villagers of West Mountain Village to rot in the fields.

On top of that, the landslide destroyed many houses. Even though there were no casualties, this winter was going to be very tough.

The arrival of Wei Ruo and his team to deliver supplies to West Mountain Village was more than a help in need, it was a matter of life and death for them!

“Village Chief, don’t dwell on this right now, the priority is to help everyone get through this difficult time first,” Wei Ruo quickly interrupted the conversation.

“Alright alright,” the village chief repeatedly agreed, and then said, “Regardless though, the kindness and debts of gratitude from Young Master Wei, Miss Wei, Miss Xie, and Young Master Xie, we, the villagers of the West Mountain Village will forever remember in our hearts, and will never forget.” The village chief also regained his composure, continuously expressing his gratitude.

Then Wei Ruo instructed the others to start unloading the supplies, “You guys, unload the supplies and distribute them house by house, don’t miss any.” The Xie Family’s attendants immediately sprang into action, and Wei Jinyi and Xie Jue also helped.

Wei Jinyi appeared to be a scholar, but surprisingly, when he was lifting heavy objects, he didn’t seem to be struggling.

Seeing this, Xie Ying teased Xie Jue, “Brother, look at him, and you still dare to say that you practice martial arts every day.

Xie Jue was a bit gloomy, “Sister, when you have time, ask Wei Ruo what kind of nourishment they provide to their Wei Family members, why are they all so strong.”

That maid named Xiumei, even though she is a personal maid, her martial arts skills are commendable, her punches really hurt.

Now, this second young master of Wei family is also like this.

Xie Ying giggled, “Brother, are you trying to ask something from Ruoruo again, using me as the middleman?”
