Chapter 44 The Village Girl 39

Looking at the small purse, Jiang Chan sighed, remembering that when Jiang Miao needed five taels of silver to take the exam, Mrs. Wang couldn't even get the five taels of silver together, and she was still thinking about tampering with Jiang Chan's marriage.

Now Jiang Chan wanted to donate sesame oil for only five taels of silver, and couldn't help but sigh that times have changed. Even if she donated all her wealth, she would not be willing to give Wang a penny cheaper.

The weather was fine on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Originally, the second day of the Lunar New Year was the day of the mother's family. Unfortunately, Lin's parents also passed away a few years ago, and the elders were not close to each other. Lin and Jiang Sen had not been back for several years.

In the past, every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ms. Lin would go to the relief center and donate some sesame oil money. Now that she proposes to go to the relief center, Ms. Lin has another wish, which is to fulfill her wish. Thank you for making Jiang Chan such a good person.

The daughter was sent to her.

After coming back yesterday, they mentioned that they were going to the temple to worship today. Wu and Zhou Yue and Zhou Xing were very excited. They had been here for so long and had little time to go out seriously. They were mostly bored in the kitchen.

Now it is good to get some fresh air while going to the temple to offer incense. Wu and Zhou Yue were busy in the kitchen for a long time last night and made many snacks, which will be presented as tribute to the Buddha statue.

When it was time to set off, everyone in the family was there, including Zhongshu Jiang Sen and Zhou Shan. Even the little Zhou Wen was holding Wu's hand and looking around curiously.

This temple is called Jingye Temple, and it is very famous. It is the largest temple in the area. There is an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going every day, and the incense is prosperous. It can be seen that it is not impossible for Jingye Temple to become a hospital for the sick.

No reason.

Along the way, Jiang Chan saw many good men and women, all of whom were very devout. Maybe it was because of the New Year, but everyone was beaming with joy. Little Zhou Wen held Wu's hand and jumped up and down.

Following Mrs. Lin, she knelt down and offered incense. Looking at the kind-faced Buddha statue above, Jiang Chan felt no emotion in her heart. She was a non-religious person, but after meeting Qingyuan, she felt that maybe this religion was not what it was.

There is no basis for it, at least it is always right to do more good deeds.

After walking through each Buddhist temple in turn, Mrs. Lin patted Jiang Chan's hand and said, "I'm accompanied by Queen Mother. You should also go and have a look around. Don't go too far."

Jiang Chan then took Zhou Xing to walk slowly, not particular about which direction. She always likes quietness and dislikes excitement, so she took Zhou Xing to a secluded direction.

When passing a small courtyard, Jiang Chan suddenly stopped and looked up at the plaque above.

"Relief for the sick?"

It turned out that the hospital was here, and Jiang Chan walked in without hesitation. The courtyard was not big, and from Jiang Chan's point of view, it was not even half the size of a modern orphanage.

The yard is very clean, and there are couplets on the windows, which adds a touch of joy. In the center of the yard, there are four or five children aged three and four playing, and two old ladies are watching them, still doing something in their hands.

Sewing and threading.

Jiang Chan took a quick glance and saw that the clothes on several people were all made of blue coarse cloth, but the styles were different. This was probably for the convenience of management. Several children were dancing plaid and laughing.

Jiang Chan didn't say anything and sat down next to the two old ladies. Zhou Xing followed suit and listened to the two old ladies chatting.

The two old ladies didn't avoid her, and the hospital didn't say no people would come over. Sometimes the kind ladies would give her some money, so people like them could live a little better.

During their conversation, Jiang Chan learned that there were a total of twenty children here, the oldest was thirteen years old, the youngest was only four years old, fifteen girls and five boys.

No matter where you are, boys seem to be more valuable, and it is always the girls who are left behind and given up.

The eldest one is also a girl. It is said that her female worker is very good and she does needlework day and night. When she has time, she takes the girls who are a little more sensible to work with her. She never hides her secrets, just like a

A big sister takes care of everyone.

There are drawbacks to the management of the hospital. The government has regulations. As long as the family has an innocent family background and wants to have children, they can directly go to the hospital to select someone. It doesn't matter how many children they want.

There was no need to ask about the children's opinions at all. If this girl Xiaolan hadn't had a birthmark on her forehead, she would have been chosen long ago. The kind-hearted old lady sighed.

If a girl has a birthmark on her face, her life will be very difficult. Everyone in the world loves women for their beauty, but almost no one can accept a woman with scars or birthmarks on her face.

While they were talking, a short and thin girl walked out of a small room inside. Although there was a birthmark on her face, she had her head raised high, and she looked energetic.

exist.

At just one glance, Jiang Chan liked this girl very much. Perhaps it was because they had the same temperament. They would not feel inferior because of their origin or appearance. They would try their best to do what they can and strive to get what they want.

of.

Xiaolan also held a handkerchief in her hand. She had been sitting on the floor in the house for a long time, so she came out to bask in the sun and do some embroidery work. When she saw Jiang Chan, she just said hello to Jiang Chan and said nothing more.

Something else.

Jiang Chan took a look at her clothes and could see that there were a few small flowers embroidered on her clothes, which made the coarse cloth look more elegant.

Now it seems that although the hospital is supported by the government, there are times when it fails to take care of it, and the old, weak, women and children here are just barely able to make ends meet.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Chan felt a little uncomfortable. She was living a good life now, with money coming in every day, but in places she didn't know, there were still so many people who didn't have enough to eat or keep warm.

Jiang Chan asked herself, have you come to such an era, are you just thinking about fulfilling the long-cherished wish of the original owner, and are you unwilling to do something for these people?

If you are poor, you can be good to yourself, but if you are rich, you can help the world. Although she does not have the ability to help the world, she should be able to contribute her love, right?

Jiang Chan's heart was in turmoil. She wanted to do something, but she couldn't do it. It seemed that the only thing she could do was to leave some money. It happened that the two old mothers were away for something at this time, and Xiaolan was a silent person.

, always lowering his head and doing his own embroidery work.

Jiang Chan pursed her lips and left with Zhou Xing, leaving only a silver ingot on the small bench where she had been sitting.

Xiaolan, who had been immersed in her embroidery work, moved her neck unconsciously, only to find that the yard was empty. But when she saw the silver ingot on the small stool on one side, the corners of Xiaolan's lips curled up slightly.
