It was almost evening when the Su family's carriage returned to town.
"Uncle Lin, let's go see if Sister Da Ya and the others have returned first." Little Sugar Baby opened the car curtain and said to Lin Enyi.
"I understand, little miss." Lin Enyi agreed.
The little sugar baby looked at his sixth brother and felt that Uncle Lin's title was a bit confusing.
Just as the little sugar baby was about to lower the car curtain, a woman's sad voice came from the front.
"Shopkeeper, please save my son!"
The little sugar baby followed the sound and saw a woman standing in front of the pharmacy, begging bitterly.
Next to the woman, there was a child lying.
After listening to the woman's words, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I won't save you. Your son needs good ginseng to survive his illness. Not to mention that our store doesn't have good ginseng. Even if it does,
That’s also a sky-high price.”
"What's more, your son's body still needs to be carefully nursed back to health with other medicinal materials. I think you still..."
When the shopkeeper said this, he shook his head.
Its meaning is self-evident.
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, the woman's face was full of despair.
Immediately, he lowered his head and looked at the dying child on the ground.
The child stretched out his hand as if to say something to the woman.
The woman's tears fell and she shook her head.
He picked up a straw stick from the ground and stuck it in his head.
Then, kneel down in the street!
Seeing this, people around him gathered around him one after another.
Obviously, the woman is going to sell herself.
"Mom, that person is so pitiful." The little sugar baby said with sympathy: "We saw her in the morning. She was the aunt who was looking for work in front of the cloth village."
Old Mrs. Su looked over after hearing what the little sugar baby said. It was indeed the woman who said she could embroider and wanted to find work in Shopkeeper Li's cloth shop.
At this time, someone asked: "How much money do you have, woman?"
"The little woman sold herself to save her son. As long as she can save my son's life, the little woman is willing to be a slave!"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, a contemptuous expression appeared on the man's face.
"Tch! Your son has been breathing out too much and taking in too little air. He is about to blow out the lamp and pull out the wax. How can we help him?" The man said disdainfully: "Besides, I heard it. Shopkeeper Wang just said it.
, your son's illness requires the use of fine ginseng to kill him. After his death, he needs to use countless medicinal materials to recuperate his body..."
Before the man finished speaking, people around him started talking.
"So that's it. Sister-in-law, I think you should forget it." Someone said sympathetically.
"Yes, if your son was born into a rich family, he might still be able to save his life..." Someone shook his head and sighed.
"That's right! What kind of scapegoat would buy you? Are you worth the money?" Someone said with disdain on his face.
"Even if you marry an innocent girl as your wife, it only costs ten or twenty taels of silver..." Some people think that the woman is wishful thinking.
After hearing the people's comments, the woman lowered her head in shame and anger.
Didn't she know that what these people said was right, but other than that, what else could she do to save her son?
At this time, the person who originally asked the question said: "How about this? I, Wang Laosan, am the most kind-hearted. I will give you five taels of silver. After your son dies, I will buy him a coffin. You can come home with me to warm him up."
Kangtou."
After Wang Laosan finished speaking, he reached out to pull the woman's arm.
The woman shook her arm suddenly and said angrily: "Get out! My son will not die!"
"You stinky bitches! How can your son still live after he's like this? Why are you selling yourself to save your son? For a yellow-faced woman like you, no one will take it even if it's for free!" Wang Laosan said angrily.
"Wang Laosan, I'm already pitiful, so you should accumulate some virtue." Someone couldn't stand it and said.
Wang Laosan said unconvinced: "I am just doing good deeds. If she is like this, only a fool will buy it... eh?"
Wang Laosan was stunned before he finished speaking.
Because the straw stick on the woman's head was taken off by a little girl carved in pink and jade.
Everyone's eyes fell on the little girl.
The little girl looked at Wang Laosan and said seriously: "I'm not stupid."
The soft and childish voice and the clear black and white eyes made Wang Laosan unable to say anything to refute.
Who dares to call such a little girl stupid?
After the little girl finished speaking, she looked at the woman again.
"Auntie, please follow us."
The woman looked at the little girl in surprise, her eyes quickly scanning the little girl's clothes.
Immediately, she said with a grateful face: "Okay! The embroiderer will definitely work hard in this life to repay my little master!"
Mrs. Su came over and said, "That's not necessary. Whether your son's life can be saved, you still need..."
When Mrs. Su said this, she paused.
He lowered his head and looked at the child on the ground, who was skinny and skinny.
He sighed and said, "Let's get some medicine for the child first."
After saying that, he took the little girl, the little sugar baby's hand, and walked towards the pharmacy.
Since the little girl wants to save people, she, as a mother, will naturally not stop her.
Anyway, she felt that no matter what the little girl did, it was right!
All she needs to do is support.
When the woman saw this, she quickly went to hug her son.
Lin Enyi took a step forward and said, "I'll do it."
After saying that, he carefully picked up the child who was as light as nothing.
At this time, the child opened his eyes and looked at Lin Enyi with dark and deep eyes.
Lin Enyi felt inexplicably frightened.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy couldn't help but change his expression when he saw the little sugar baby.
This little girl naturally remembered that she had sold good wild ginseng when she came here.
The shopkeeper looked at the woman who followed him, and secretly sighed at the woman's good luck.
After grabbing the medicine, everyone got on the carriage.
The little sugar baby looked at the little boy held in the woman's arms and asked softly: "Do you eat fruit?"
After saying that, he took out a red fruit from his small pocket.
Mrs. Su glanced at her little girl in surprise.
Where did the little girl get the fruit?
Then I thought that I might have gotten it from the county magistrate's house.
The little sugar baby brought the red fruit to the little boy's mouth, and the little boy opened his mouth subconsciously.
"Thank you, miss." The woman thanked her quickly.
Old Mrs. Su asked: "What is this child's name? How old is he?"
The woman lowered her head and looked at her son, and then said, "To tell you my wife, this child's name is Wangchen, and he is nine years old this year."
"Where is this child's father?" Mrs. Su asked again.
The woman's eyes darkened, she lowered her eyes, and whispered: "He is no longer here."
Mrs. Su patted her hand sympathetically and did not ask any more questions.
"What's his last name?" the little sugar baby asked curiously.
The woman was startled, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The last name is...Lin."
