Chapter 39: A Great Act

The poor people in Huan City were often looked down upon by the other residents.

They’d arrived early, but the crowd that had gathered to purchase the pills at half the price had somehow shoved them to the back of the line.

Just as they were worried that the pills would be sold out, and none would be left for them, the almighty Miss Su stood up for them.

All the thanks that they expressed were from the bottom of their hearts.

“Goddess Su, you’re not being fair to the rest of us. The rest of us are going to be paying for this out of our pockets. These cheap people aren’t paying a single coin, how could they be getting it before we do!”

“Exactly, Goddess Su, get these cheap people to wait at the side. Sell it to us first!”

Su Zhiyu’s arrangement pleased the poor, but enraged the rest of the people who were going to be paying for it.

The people who could afford to pay 5,000 gold coins for a single pill had always considered themselves to be greater than the poor and ‘cheap’ people. How could they possibly let them go first?

“Everyone, please don’t put it this way!

“Zhiyu has always believed that all lives are equal. You people are just more fortunate than the rest to be born into a better and more powerful family clan. That is what gives you your status and power. If the Heavens had made you reincarnate into a poor family clan instead, you’d have been no different from them!

“So please don’t address them this way. If everyone insists that they should purchase it before the needy ones receive it, then Zhiyu will refuse to sell it at all today.”

Who would’ve expected that instead of acceding to their request, the beautiful Su Zhiyu had told the people off.

“Goddess Su has such good character!”

“I have been too narrow-minded…”

The ones who had just been chided probably never heard of such an explanation or perspective before, but they agreed with what she’d just said. At that point, they couldn’t find a way to rebut her.

The people actually began to feel guilty for what they’d just done. Su Zhiyu really was the goddess of Huan City. She was beautiful inside and out.

The poor were even more grateful towards Su Zhiyu now, and a number of them were kowtowing to her.

“Come and get your pills first, please don’t do this.”

Su Zhiyu stopped them with false concern. Deep down, she was bursting with joy.

Hmph, Jun Mohuang had embarrassed her just two days ago, but look how grateful these cheap people were towards her now.

After today, her ‘goddess status’ would be reinstated. That young master would be attracted to her once again.

The poor couldn’t stop complimenting Su Zhiyu as they formed an orderly line to receive their pills.

Such good-quality pills were a waste for them if they just consumed it. They’d be better off reselling it for some gold coins.

They heard that the pills were worth 5,000 gold coins even at half the market price.

5,000 gold coins! That could feed them for five whole years!

Su Zhiyu put on a smile throughout the process of handing out the pills. She’d perfectly concealed the disgust and disdain she felt deep inside her.

To hell with “all lives are equal”. Anyone who likes these dirty, cheap peasants must be sick in the mind.

“Miss had suffered terribly two days ago, having been bullied by the menacing Jun Mohuang. If you really like and respect our miss, please stand up for her.”

The maidservant standing beside Su Zhiyu said the lines she’d been made to rehearse many times before this event.

“What does Miss Su want us to do?”

“Should we teach that Jun Mohuang a lesson?”

The poor people seemed very keen on helping her.

Su Zhiyu shook her head. “It’s alright. Miss Jun and I have had some misunderstandings before. I’m afraid she’d be here to cause trouble later. Just help me to stop her from causing trouble if she comes by later.”
