Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

"What do you want from me?"

Ye Chuyi didn't believe that the protection they talked about was real protection. She thought about how she was also a seasoned veteran in the workplace and should be able to see through their little tricks.

"It is our duty to protect the county magistrate. Why would we ask for anything?"

The middle-aged man who was speaking was cheerful and looked honest and simple. The man behind him who seemed to be his father kicked him hard.

"It's okay. You're embarrassed to say it. I'll say it for you."

The smile on Ye Chuyi's face did not reach his eyes. He hated dealing with such troublesome things.

"You want to follow me because you think I have food and things, and I'm probably a soft-hearted person who won't leave you to die."

Ye Chuyi paused after he finished speaking, pretending to be thinking, "Perhaps you still think that as long as you cry and make a fuss, you can take away everything on the donkey cart, right?"

"You are joking, County Governor. We dare not have such thoughts. We just want to do our best for you, County Governor."

The person who spoke had a forced smile. He was the village chief of Shanghe Village and had been in this position for many years. He claimed to have seen a lot of the world, but he didn't expect that today his mind would be seen through by a little girl.

"Whether you don't dare to have it or want more, only you know it in your heart."

Ye Chuyi shrugged nonchalantly, "If you want this brand, you can naturally get it with your own ability. Now that I have come here with my own ability, it belongs to me. You should give up your thoughts as soon as possible."

Several village chiefs retreated with unhappy looks on their faces. They did not leave, but whispered to each other not far away, and no one knew what they were discussing.

"Miss, the families who have found their parents and relatives and are ready to leave have already been settled and left. There are still two families that are a little special and they want you to make a decision."

Qinghuan took out a booklet from somewhere and opened it to see it was covered with densely written words.

"She is from Ma Xiaohua's family. Her mother was divorced by her husband because she didn't want to follow the team to find her. Now she and her daughter are the only ones left to depend on each other."

Qinghuan said this and circled a few lines of words with a pen.

Ye Chuyi leaned forward to take a few looks, and found that there were not many people he recognized.

Others can read large characters in traditional Chinese, but she has become completely illiterate.

Qing Huan naturally didn't notice her change. After circling these families, he turned a few pages and circled another few lines of words, "This is Shi Liu's family. They are outsiders in the village. They were left behind by the villagers when they were looking for their children. Now they can't find them back."

"What do they mean?"

If anyone came to her for help, it would be better for them to go somewhere cooler as soon as possible. She didn't want to bring a bunch of trouble with her.

The ones in the woods haven’t been dealt with yet, and if there’s another pile added, she really won’t be able to handle it!

"They want to go with us." Qinghuan scratched his head embarrassedly.

The two families originally intended to stay far behind them, just to have a direction.

"Have you told your sister Ying everything?"

Seeing the little girl’s red ears, Ye Chuyi didn’t understand something, but he didn’t find it annoying.

"They can come with me, as long as they don't cause trouble in front of me, everything will be fine. Otherwise, there will be no room for negotiation."

Ye Chuyi gave her a look that said you know what I mean, and the little girl nodded happily, "Thank you, Miss. You're the best."

"Alright, alright."

Ye Chuyi waved her hand, and took out the booklet in her hand with interest, which had several pages filled with dense writing.

Some were neat and tidy with only a few words, while others were scribbled on and divided into several sections. Anyway, Ye Chuyi couldn't understand them at all.

"Did you write this?"

She doesn't care about the quality of the font, but she thinks it looks comfortable overall.

"Well, this was specially copied before the young lady came back. It lists all the people who were rescued together. I marked their situations."

Qinghuan's ears turned even redder. She took the booklet back sheepishly and pointed at the contents one by one while explaining them.

"These are the people whose relatives have been found. Their whereabouts have been marked. These are the people whose relatives' information is known but have not been found yet. These are the people whose information is unknown..."

What's more, each item is marked in great detail, which is really useful to her.

She was worried about the random tasks that the system had just released, but now, she understood everything after flipping through the booklet. The only drawback was that she couldn't understand it.

Of course none of this matters.

"Well done!" Ye Chuyi praised generously, "I didn't expect Qinghuan to be so capable."

It is said that few people in ancient times could read, but she met several of them during this encounter.

"Thank you, Miss. Actually, Sister Ying and Sister Lin taught me how to do these things. The two sisters also made a booklet, but their booklet is used to count the people who followed us and our things. When Sister Ying finished writing it, she showed it to you, Miss."

Qinghuan didn't want to take all the credit, so he quickly explained the whole story.

It turns out that Lin Xiyue's identity is even more complicated. She was the daughter of a wealthy businessman. She was abducted when she passed by here on her way to check the situation at her own shop.

When she was at home, she often looked at the account books in her own shop. She was considered an expert in business and she could come up with these ideas based on her experience of looking at the account books.

However, their original idea was just to help those who suffered together to find their loved ones, but they didn't expect that Ye Chuyi would benefit from it in the end.

"Is Miss Lin awake yet? I'll go check on her when I'm free. Go do your thing. We'll leave soon."

The topic changed so quickly that Qing Huan didn't react for a moment. She subconsciously looked at the village heads who were still muttering, "Just ignore them? What if they insist on following me?"

"If they dare to follow us, let them go."

Anyway, she is determined to enter Daqingshan, so it depends on who is braver.

Qinghuan and her team acted quickly. After the girls who found their relatives left, the number of people in their small team actually shrank by half.

The progress bar of the random task also jumped forward a lot without anyone noticing, and it seemed that offensive weapons were within easy reach.

[Host, don't think too highly of yourself. These remaining people are the key to the mission, okay?]

Bai Zai was doing two things at once. He cheerfully poured a basin of cold water on him, then quickly turned off his microphone and fell silent.

"If you dampen my enthusiasm again, I'll chop you up!"

Ye Chuyi threatened angrily, but unfortunately Baizai had the foresight to silence him and was having fun with Yaya at the moment.

They just left when they were told to, and no one asked why. The girls were unexpectedly obedient and sensible. If I hadn’t known, I would have thought they had a tacit understanding for a long time.

Ye Chuyi walked in the front, very happy.
