"The madams who, just a quarter of an hour ago, had been complaining about everyone's hardship this year, were now all eager to contribute money, effort, and manpower for the country and the people.
A smile involuntarily appeared on the faces of Madam Yuan and Nanny Qin.
Having accomplished her task, Wei Ruo went to take her seat at the end of the line.
Everyone present was the headwoman of their respective families. She, as an unmarried young lady, was supposed to sit at the very end.
Wei Ruo didn't have to worry about what came next; it could be left to Madam Yuan and Nanny Qin to discuss with the other madams.
Approximately an hour later, the meeting concluded, and Madam Yuan saw the madams out.
Madam Xu trailed behind the others. Before leaving, she took Wei Ruo's hands, her eyes filled with admiration and affection, "Miss Ruo, you truly have the heart of an orchid."
Wei Ruo simply smiled.
As Madam Yuan and Nanny Qin were still present, Madam Xu did not say much more.
