Chapter 533: Food Distribution
When Su Ziming heard that Lu Shian was still willing to let him work here, his mood immediately turned from gloomy to cheerful.
"I'll go now."
After running out briskly for a while, Su Ziming ran back embarrassedly.
"Well, what can I do?"
"The food has arrived today, you can help distribute it!"
"it is good!"
When people heard that they could get food for free, a long line formed in front of the government gate early in the morning!
The Cheng Kuan brothers have been distributing food coupons door to door these past few days. Today, you can get food with the coupons. If you don’t have the coupons, you won’t be able to get any!
One coupon can get you five kilograms of food!
The people who received the food were so happy!
However, most of them would not stay outside, but would rush home with the food. When they got home and opened the cloth bag, they were so excited to see the full grains of wheat inside!
Some people saw that the food was good, so they put it back home and ran back to get more!
When the government runners found out, they scolded them and told them to go away quickly!
But there were also some scoundrels who refused to leave!
Take this guy for example! His face was pale, obviously because he was cold because he was wearing too little. His eyes were sunken, he spoke weakly, and he looked sick at first glance.
He wanted to queue up to get some food, but he didn't have a coupon. The person in charge of distributing food saw that he didn't have a coupon and drove him away.
But this man refused to leave and insisted on asking for food.
"I beg you to be kind and give us some food!"
"We are really starving to death. Please give us a little, just a little, so that my children can have something to eat!"
The yamen runner waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go, go, we have made it very clear, you need to bring the coupons to get the food, and those without coupons will not get any food! Who knows if you have used the coupons to get food once!"
It’s not that the yamen runners have such a good temper, but their parents have told them to treat the people well and not be as violent as before. They must control their temper and treat the people like their own parents!
"We really don't have any coupons. Really. Please be kind and give me some food..."
"Go... Go quickly, or I will be rude to you!"
The yamen runner was very annoyed, and when he saw that the person distributing food didn't pay attention to him, he showed a half-broken knife and threatened him.
The man had a complete mental breakdown upon seeing this.
"Why not? I'm starving to death. Why can't you give me food?"
"Aren't you distributing food just to feed the people? Am I not a citizen of the Great Abyss?"
"Why are you doing this to me."
"I want food, I want food. Without food I will die, and my children will die too. I want food..."
The man shouted in despair, and judging from his appearance, he was obviously really hungry.
Cheng Kuan gently touched Cheng Lu beside him, motioning him to take one and give it to the man.
Before Cheng Lu could get over there, he heard Su Ziming shouting.
"What are you shouting about? Can't you see that everyone is standing in line to receive food?"
Seeing Su Ziming in luxurious clothes, Wang Youcai immediately knelt down and crawled to Su Ziming's feet.
"Sir, please be merciful, please be merciful. My family is almost starving to death. Please give us some food."
The yamen runner who had just driven people away leaned over to Su Ziming's ear and said, "The grain is distributed according to coupons. Those who have coupons will get grain, and those who don't have coupons will not. This method is used to prevent people like this, who want to get more after receiving the grain."
Su Ziming heard it and said, "What? I've received all of them, but I want another one."
"No, sir, no, I didn't receive it, and I don't have a ticket. I..."
Su Ziming saw his dirty hands pulling at the hem of his clothes and kicked him away in disgust.
"Go away. Are you trying to be pitiful? I'm telling you, rules are rules. Once you've received them, leave quickly. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble."
"No, I really didn't, I swear to God, I really didn't."
"What are you looking at? Get him out of here."
Su Ziming winked at the yamen runner beside him, and the runner stepped forward to chase the man away.
"Get lost. If you continue to cause trouble, I'll catch you."
Wang Youcai walked aside unwillingly. Obviously everyone could get food, but why couldn't he? He was almost starving to death, and his children were almost starving to death too.
It was all because of that damn boss. He cheated him. It was clearly agreed that he would be paid if he worked until the end of the year, but at the end of the year, he turned his back on him and beat him up.
An hour later, Lu Shian and Su Qianqian arrived to help distribute food.
Lu Shian wanted to help but was pulled away by Que'er and Xi'er.
"Master, please leave this kind of work to us."
"Yes, Master, you and the princess can just rest aside, and we will distribute the food."
Su Qianqian looked around but didn't see Shen Cuo, and was obviously a little disappointed.
Lu Shian saw all of this. She thought Su Qianqian was looking for Su Ziming, so she asked, "Is the prince there?"
Su Qianqian looked in the direction Lu Shian pointed, and saw Su Ziming sitting there in the sun against the wall.
"My mother wanted him to learn more from the lady, but he is so spoiled that he can't do anything and can't accomplish anything. He really has accomplished nothing."
"That's not the case. The prince is still young, so maybe it would be better if he got married."
Su Qianqian smiled and didn't respond. It wasn't that she didn't want to say it, but she really didn't know how to say it.
His mother found several candidates for him, but when they heard it was Su Ziming, none of them were willing to let their daughters marry him.
Wang Youcai was staring at the people who were collecting food. If they didn't give it to him, he would just rob them. He could starve to death, but his children...
Granny Liu waited in line for several hours and finally received the food. She happily took the food and went home. With these few pounds of food, she and Xiaoqi could have a hot meal during the New Year this year.
Just as she was happily thinking about going back to cook some rice soup, a man rushed over, snatched the cloth bag from her hand and ran away.
Granny Liu looked at her empty palms and slapped her thigh anxiously.
"Someone come, someone is stealing food."
Su Ziming, who was bored, heard this and said, "Hey, you dare to snatch things in front of me. Catch him for me."
Su Ziming yelled, and the bailiffs immediately chased after him.
Not only was Wang Youcai injured, but he had also been hungry for several days. How could he possibly run away? The bailiffs chased him and beat him up.
Then they dragged Wang Youcai back like a dead dog.
Lu Shian and Su Qianqian were keeping warm in the carriage. When they heard the noise, they got out of the carriage.
"stop."
Su Qianqian saw several yamen runners punching and kicking people on the ground, and she shouted unhappily, "What's going on?"
"My Lord, this man stole food."
Lu Shian walked forward. The man on the ground was holding his head, his face was covered in blood and his features could not be seen clearly. "Everyone has a share of food, why are you still trying to grab it?"
