Chapter 421 Feng
"Lele, brother bought you a key chain, take a look, do you like it?"
Every time Feng Liangcun came back from business, he would always visit Liang Xiaole in the Shentang courtyard and give her one or two small gifts: a handkerchief, a fan pendant, a comb, a hair flower... Although they are not valuable, they are actually
The reason for not having enough melon seeds is the human heart!
How could Liang Xiaole not appreciate the meaning of this?!
Feng Liangcun is 1.78 meters tall, fair and fair, and has a very handsome appearance. He is actually born with a rich and noble appearance. When he stands in front of people, it is difficult for people to associate him with an orphan.
His academic performance has always been good. However, he failed to pass the examination because of his poor performance on the spot. Hongyuan's mother asked him to continue studying and wait for the next provincial examination. Feng Liangcun refused, insisting on supporting himself with both hands and repaying his godfather.
The kindness of your godmother to your upbringing.
Hongyuan's father and mother had no choice but to first let him stand at the counter in Lu Xinming's shop for more than a year. Then they let him practice business running with Liang Desheng. Now he can travel all over the country alone.
"Brother Liangcun, don't spend money on me anymore. You have to save money for me to marry my sister-in-law?" Liang Xiaole pretended not to notice and teased him with a smile.
"Lele..."
Feng Liangcun's fair face turned red from suppressing it, and he looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare.
"Brother Liangcun, what new things have you learned this time?" Liang Xiaole saw this and quickly said something else.
Storytelling is another one of Feng Liangcun's strengths. Every time he comes back, he tells Liang Xiaole what he saw and heard outside, plus his own humorous language. Liang Xiaole laughs "haha" every time. At this time
, it was also the time when Feng Liangcun felt the closest to Liang Xiaole, and it was also the time when he was happiest.
"This time I heard a strange thing in Renshan County: a blind old woman selling herself with a straw sticker." Feng Liangcun said.
Liang Xiaole: "The blind old woman sells herself with a straw sign? How much does it cost and what is she selling herself for?"
Feng Liangcun: "I haven't seen it. I heard that the paper in front of me said: 'Five coins, sell yourself as a mother!'"
Liang Xiaole: "It is really rare for an old woman to sell herself with a straw tag. She also wants to be a mother for others. Is this old woman hinting at something?"
Feng Liangcun: "I don't know. People say that this old woman is crazy about money. Who would buy a blind old woman for five thousand yuan to raise? I heard that and thought the same, so I didn't go to see her."
Liang Xiaole pondered for a while and said: "Brother Liangcun, I think there must be something interesting in this. Why don't you buy her and keep her in our nursing home to see what's going on. It's just nothing, just a blind old lady.
It’s really difficult.”
"Lele. You have to pay a fee to stay in our nursing home. You have to pay for this. Are you crazy?!" Feng Liangcun said in confusion.
"Since she is selling herself, she must have some money. Read the full text of Reborn Child Bride. We bought her. We also did her a favor. By helping her in a difficult situation, we might be able to save her family. Ours
The nursing home is actually a semi-welfare state. Brother Liangcun, you buy her back. I will pay for it."
"Lele, I sold myself to be a mother. I didn't come to live in a nursing home. If I buy it, I have to be her son." Feng Liangcun said with some embarrassment.
"Isn't it just right? You have a godmother (Mother Hongyuan) and a bought mother. If you put the two mothers together, don't you have a biological mother?!"
Liang Xiaole wanted to tease Feng Liangcun, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he saw Feng Liangcun's face darken and his eyes became misty. He knew that he had accidentally poked his painful area - he remembered his childhood.
Liang Xiaole stuck out her tongue and quickly changed the topic.
"Lele. Don't pick it up. I will rush over to buy this old woman tomorrow. If she doesn't want to live in a nursing home, I will give her to my aunt (Mother Hong Yuan). After Feng Liangcun was adopted, she called Hong Yuan's mother Aunt
, admitted that they were married and did not change their words) Tell me: Lend me a house first, and I will raise her alone." Feng Liangcun finally made up his mind.
"Yes." Liang Xiaole nodded and said seriously: "Brother Liangcun, seek benefits for others and profit for yourself. We must always be compassionate. Here, the more novel things are, the greater the meaning.
The higher the value. I hope your trip will be worthwhile."
As Liang Xiaole spoke, he took out five strings of money from the drawer, together with an embroidered purse, and placed it in front of Feng Liangcun. He then said, "Brother Liangcun, there is a clever trick in this purse. You must open it when you are most hesitant and confused."
Remember: Don’t open it unless absolutely necessary.”
Feng Liangcun nodded. When he left, he only took the purse: "I will accept the tips and tricks. I will buy the mother and I will take the money."
Looking at Feng Liangcun's leaving figure, Liang Xiaole smiled.
………………………………………………………………
In Renshan County's "people's market", people come and go.
It turns out that there was a famine in the Renshan area, and many people sold their sons, daughters, and wives in order to survive. On both sides of the street, there were many unkempt women and children in ragged clothes, cutting grass and selling them at low prices.
Feng Liangcun held five guan of money in his arms and looked around the crowd, looking for the blind old woman he had heard of who was selling himself by inserting straw.
"Brother, do you think I can do it? I can do laundry, cooking, and farm work. Just buy a good mother-in-law."
A woman in her thirties stopped Feng Liangcun and begged.
Feng Liangcun shook his head.
Seeing the disappointed look on the woman's face, Feng Liangcun couldn't bear it and said hurriedly: "Auntie, I'll give you a hundred cents. Can you tell me where is the blind old lady who sells herself with a straw sign?"
"Why are you asking about her?" A smile appeared on the woman's face again: "I have been here for more than half a month, and no one has even asked. Who would buy a blind old woman and raise her?!"
"Then, where is she?" Feng Liangcun saw her looking directly at his hand and hurriedly took out a hundred pence and handed it to her hand.
The woman took the money, her face lit up, and she waved to Feng Liangcun: "Follow me."
The woman led Feng Liangcun for a while through the "people's market" and came to a corner. She pointed forward and said, "No, it's right over there."
Feng Liangcun followed her hand and saw a white-haired blind old woman with a sallow face. The old woman knelt on her knees with a grass tag on her body. There was a piece of paper in front of her that read: "Five Coins."
, sell yourself to be a mother!”
Although there are many buyers in the "human market", no one cares about her.
Feng Liangcun hurried over to question the military pet, the campus miracle doctor.
The old lady told him:
"I am nearly sixty years old, and my godson and I are dependent on each other. Now that my godson has grown up, he has a strange disease and needs money for treatment. I don't have any savings. If mother and son continue to work together, they will die.
I thought of selling myself to see a doctor for him.
"But the person who buys me must also be an orphan and single. Isn't this a good thing?! If you have a wife and children, I will never sell it to you. If you meet the conditions and sincerely buy me, you need to hand over the money in person.
I am your godson, so I will go with you."
Feng Liangcun had a mission, and he sympathized with the old woman's plight. Besides, he was indeed an orphan. He nodded whatever the old woman said.
After the two reached an agreement, the old woman called a slender young man in rags and said he was her godson.
The three of them wrote a contract, and Feng Liangcun handed the money to the young man to take the old woman back. The young man burst into tears and said that he couldn't bear to leave his godmother and wanted to stay with her for three more days.
Feng Liangcun saw that the young man was sincere, so he took him and the old woman back to the small inn where he rented. The young man was smart and diligent, and he helped Feng Liangcun with all kinds of things and served the blind old woman.
Feng Liangcun rented another guest room and planned to let the old lady live in one room and himself and the young man to live in one. But the young man insisted that he wanted to sleep with his godmother. Feng Liangcun thought about the deep love between mother and son and they would be separated forever after three days, so he agreed.
.
Three days later, the young man said goodbye to his godmother and left.
Feng Liangcun also packed up and prepared to set off. Unexpectedly, the blind old woman fell ill. She groaned and couldn't get out of bed.
Feng Liangcun had no choice but to ask a doctor to cook and feed the medicine himself. He also changed the food to adjust the old woman's appetite. He also bought clothes and hired a tailor to make two replacement clothes for the blind woman. He took good care of the old woman.
The old woman had been ill for more than 20 days.
Feng Liangcun also spent all the money he brought with him, so he secretly borrowed loan sharks from acquaintances to treat the blind woman.
One day, the old woman said to Feng Liangcun: "My child, are you in trouble?"
"No, mother, you can rest in peace and recuperate. When you recover, we will go home." Feng Liangcun comforted him.
"My child, you are a kind person and have a good heart. My mother did not betray the wrong person." The old woman said movedly: "My child, mother, let me tell you the truth. I am the wife of the richest man in Fucheng. My husband Yi Shiqi once served as an official in the court.
I couldn't stand the treacherous ministers in power and the rampant traitors, so I resigned and came back to live in seclusion in the busy city. We are nearly sixty years old and have only one daughter. Because my husband has been sick all the time and I am blind, I am eager to recruit a son-in-law to inherit the family property..."
It turned out that Yi Shiqi and his wife had gone through many vicissitudes of life in officialdom. When it came to their daughter's marriage, they first did not want to hire officials because they thought officials were greedy, cruel and more vicious than jackals;
human face
They want to find a kind, kind, honest and honest son-in-law as their son-in-law, who can take care of their daughter and inherit the family wealth.
Miss Yi is reasonable and is afraid of finding a dandy who is ruthless and enjoys life, so she supports her parents' opinions.
The Yi family discussed it and said that nowadays people's hearts are not ancient and people's words cannot be trusted. It is easy to be deceived and deceived by letting servants search for and inquire about it. It is better to endure the hardship and search for it yourself.
Because of Yi Shiqi's illness, Mrs. Yi had no choice but to go out in person, bring a few close servants with her, dress up as a poor blind woman, and sell herself as a mother to others.
But who would be stupid enough to spend money to buy a blind man as a mother?
Mrs. Yi was very calm, thinking that even if she waited three to five years, she would eventually find someone with sympathy! Finally, Feng Liangcun bought Mrs. Yi, and the servants pretended to be hawkers and idlers to protect her secretly.
