Seeing someone come near, the maids accompanying them immediately stepped forward to block the way.
Realizing she couldn’t get closer, the woman dropped to her knees from a distance toward Wei Ruo.
“Miss Wei!”
Wei Ruo looked at the woman in surprise. “May I ask who you are?”
“Miss Wei, last year when I took my child back to Xishan Village to visit my parents, we encountered a natural disaster. You and your father and brothers braved the danger to rescue the people of our village. Later, you even sent food and quilts to us disaster victims. Thanks to that, my parents were able to survive safely.”
The man beside her quickly followed, saying, “Thank you, Miss Wei, for saving my wife and child!”
Hearing the couple’s words, the ladies accompanying them finally realized that the eldest daughter of the Wei family had done many charitable deeds while she was in Xingshan County, and these two had come to express their gratitude.
Upon hearing this, the assistant magistrate’s wife signaled the maids to stop blocking them, allowing the couple to come a little closer.
The woman then placed the basket in her hands onto the ground in front of them. “I hope Miss Wei will accept these eggs.”
“You should get up. There are many stones on the path—you’ll hurt your knees,” Wei Ruo quickly urged, clearly unused to people kneeling to her.
Xiumei also stepped forward to help the couple stand.
Wei Ruo then said to them, “I appreciate your kindness, but please take these eggs back with you. Whether you sell them or keep them for yourselves, that would be better.”
Eggs were extremely precious for farming families. It would take at least half a month to save up a basket like this. Such a gift was far too valuable—Wei Ruo could not accept it.
“No, no, please, Miss Wei, you must accept these eggs. It’s just a small token of our gratitude!” The woman insisted, determined to give the eggs to Wei Ruo.
“There’s no need, truly. I’ve already received your kindness, and that alone makes me very happy. If you truly want to thank me, then take good care of yourselves—eat well, stay warm, and live your lives properly. That was what I hoped for when I did those things back then, not for you to scrimp and save just to bring me food.”
The woman looked deeply moved.
Wei Ruo continued, “This year will be another hard one. Working the fields is exhausting—you should be eating more eggs so you’ll have the strength for the farmwork and hopefully get a good harvest this year. And your child is still growing, he needs the extra nutrition too.”
“Thank you, Miss Wei, thank you! May your kind words bring blessings! May your kind words bring blessings!” The couple bowed repeatedly in gratitude.
“All right, go on back now, before you fall behind on today’s work. These few days are the crucial time for transplanting rice seedlings, there’s no room for delay.” Wei Ruo said.
From her words, it was clear that she was very familiar with agricultural matters and knew exactly what work was done at this time of year.
The couple nodded again and again, then gave Wei Ruo one final deep bow before leaving.
After that, Wei Ruo motioned for the assistant magistrate’s wife to continue walking.
As they went on, the ladies around them couldn’t help but praise her.
“I never expected that not only is Miss Wei intelligent and capable, but she also has such a kind heart and has done so many good deeds.”
“Compared to Miss Wei, I feel rather ashamed of myself.”
“Miss Wei, could you tell us more about how you helped the disaster victims in Xingshan County?”
“…”
