Chapter 0039 Guaranteed to be the last time
"That's right, we need to take care of him. He stole my fruit a few days ago and caused me to fall when I chased him." The aunt selling fruit on the side said.
"You even stole my sesame cakes!" the man from the sesame cake stall also said.
"I was also stolen by him..."
The surrounding vendors spoke out one after another, saying that they were all victims, and they were obviously deeply hurt and disgusted by this little beggar’s stealing behavior.
Nie Ling'er naturally felt that stealing was wrong, but beating him like this wouldn't solve the problem.
"Brother, if you beat him to death, what can you do?" Nie Ling'er stepped forward and said, "Stealing is naturally wrong, but who would be willing to steal unless they are desperate."
As he said that, Nie Ling'er glanced at the little beggar. He lowered his head, his hair was as messy as hay covering his face, and he said nothing.
Having become a thief and pretending to be tough, Nie Ling'er sighed helplessly.
"Brother, look at the bruises on his body that you gave him. He has suffered a lot. I helped him pay for the buns. Please let him go this time." Nie Ling'er said.<
/p>
As if he didn't expect Nie Ling'er to do this, the eldest brother at the bun stall was a little stunned for a moment.
When he reacted, he looked helpless: "Well, I can't sell this bun after he touched it. Let's spare him this time."
After saying this, the vendor looked at Nie Ling'er and said, "Girl is kind-hearted, so I don't need the money for these buns, but this bastard has to promise not to steal again!"
Hearing this, Nie Ling'er couldn't help but walk up to the little beggar. One of his hands was still held by the vendor, and he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
"Can it be guaranteed?"
Nie Ling'er spoke slowly, her voice clear and sweet, which actually had a soothing effect at this moment.
But when the little beggar raised his head and saw Nie Ling'er's appearance, the effect disappeared instantly.
But the little beggar heard what Nie Ling'er said, it was her who was begging for mercy on her behalf just now.
Nie Ling'er looked at the little beggar. His face was covered with dust and there was a crescent-like scar on his forehead. He couldn't see clearly at all.
It’s just that he looks about the same age as Nie Xuan, and too thin.
"If I could get food, I wouldn't steal it." The little beggar spoke, his voice slightly hoarse.
He doesn't steal every day, he also begs on weekdays, but there are always times when he can't get anything and he steals when he's very hungry.
Hearing this, Nie Ling'er nodded slightly, but said, "You promise to the stall owner now that you won't steal his buns again!"
The little beggar looked at Nie Ling'er and felt guilty when he saw her steady gaze.
Finally, he nodded: "I promise this is the last time."
When the stall owner heard this, he sighed again, but still let go of the little beggar's hand.
When the little beggar saw this, he was about to run away, but Nie Linger shouted: "Stop!"
Pausing for a moment, the little beggar couldn't help but look at Nie Ling'er, and then said after realizing it: "Thank you, sister."
Seeing his timid look, Nie Ling'er couldn't help but smile, but she said: "If you are really hungry one day, don't steal it. Go to Shijie Village to find me. My name is Nie Ling'er. Remember it."
?"
I don’t know why the fat sister in front of me said this, but the little beggar just wanted to leave quickly. Hearing this, he nodded: "I remember."
Nie Ling'er gave him a look, and upon seeing this, the little beggar quickly ran away with the buns in his pocket.
Looking at his thin back, Nie Ling'er sighed quietly.
What she just said was not to help this little beggar. He was not the only beggar in this town. If she had a great kindness, she would not be able to save him at all.
She wanted him to use his labor in exchange for income, so that he could at least fill his stomach.
In the past few days, Nie Ling'er also discovered that with the help of two more people, the progress was not a little faster, so she thought that if the little beggar was willing, she could provide him with an opportunity to exchange for food and clothing.
"Sister Ling'er, don't take what this beggar says seriously. I let him go today because of your plea for mercy." The stall owner said immediately.
Hearing this, Nie Ling'er nodded slightly: "I know that my eldest brother is also a victim, and I promise you that I will help him this time. If he does it again, I will never take care of him again."
Nie Ling'er was speaking from her heart. She was the one who was meddling in other people's business today, but she couldn't bear it when she saw the beggar silently being beaten.
If you have no backbone in your heart, you won’t even scream.
This little beggar accepted being beaten and scolded when he was caught. This shows that he himself knows that stealing is wrong and he will be punished if he is caught.
Nie Ling'er wanted to help him because he still had a stronghold in his heart and knew what was wrong.
If he would do what he promised again, I would not help him again.
The onlookers also dispersed one after another. Nie Ling'er returned to the breakfast stall. Bao'er had already bought glutinous rice cakes and was just watching the fun from a distance.
"Sister, are you okay?" Seeing Nie Ling'er coming back, Bao'er quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.
Nie Ling'er smiled slightly and shook her head: "Sister, it's okay. Eat it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Bao'er and Xuan didn't ask any questions, and were relieved to see that Nie Ling'er was fine.
After eating, Nie Ling'er let Bao'er look at the jar while she and Xuan went to Tong's shop with the money box.
Nie Yong was chopping wood in the yard at this time, with a few drops of sweat dripping from time to time on his forehead, flowing down his neck and onto his chest muscles inside his collar.
The Adam's apple moved slightly, the bronze skin shone in the sun, and the veins on the strong arm muscles were bulging, full of male hormones.
At this time, a girl wearing a light green gauze skirt stepped out from the inner hall. The girl's face was as smooth as fat, and she was very beautiful. Her watery eyes were particularly charming. Look at the bun on her head.
I know she is a girl who has not yet left the court.
"Brother Nie, let's have a bowl of mung bean soup."
Tong Yueru came to Nie Yong and stood in front of Nie Yong with a bowl of mung bean soup.
Nie Yong stopped what he was doing and glanced at Tong Yueru. Unexpectedly, Jun's face turned red and he took the soup from her hand with evasive eyes: "Thank you."
Tong Yueru smiled brightly and said with a lively expression: "It's been very sunny these days. Brother Nie should find a shady place when working to avoid heat stroke."
Nie Yong nodded with an honest face. The scent of girl Yueru's powder came into his nose, making Nie Yong's face turn even redder.
Seeing his shy look, Tong Yueru pursed her lips and smiled, but did not tease him. She turned around and returned to the inner hall.
Nie Yong felt his face and chest feel hot. He drank the cold mung bean soup in one sip and felt better.
It’s just that the scene just now happened to be seen by Nie Ling’er and Nie Xuan who had just entered the door.
However, both of them were very sensible and did not rush to interrupt. They just watched from a distance.
