Yu Zongzheng was overjoyed. The money allocated by the Imperial Court for disaster relief was not much, and Zhejiang had a lot of disasters. With the 20 ships of food from the Xie family and the food and medicine donated by his eldest daughter, the job was much easier.
Yu Zongzheng was both proud and gratified that his eldest daughter had sacrificed so much for him. "The eunuch who went to the government office to deliver the holy decree today said that the Emperor praised you for being understanding and righteous. He said that Yao Yao is kind-hearted and did not let down the loyalty and virtue of the Yu Clan. He even praised the family for being upright and one that accumulated kindness and virtue. That's why he entrusted the disaster relief to me. He hoped that I would not let down my ancestors and live up to the Emperor's grace."
