"You are so hungry, why do you still speak for the government?"
Xia Dahai glanced at him sideways and said angrily.
"Brother, don't get me wrong. I'm not speaking for the government. This is actually the case... Speaking of which, our Suzhou Prefecture is quite good. I heard that many places do not allow refugees to enter the city. Although these
The local government also set up porridge sheds outside the city, but the rice they used was all rotten and bad. They were not willing to put more rice like this, and the porridge cooked was no better than pure water...
.”
Monkey explained.
"Dahai, how much money did you bring?"
Lin Xu asked.
"There are more than two hundred taels..."
As Xia Dahai spoke, he went to untie the money bag: "Sir, do you want to give the money to them?"
"You can go and change the silver into copper coins later and distribute it to them. Give more to this mother and daughter..."
Lin Xu looked at the two young women and children who were crying around the dead man, and said in a deep tone.
"Sir, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but I think you can't give them too much money..."
Monkey suggested cautiously.
"Oh? Why?"
Lin Xu glanced at the monkey, a little confused.
"I heard that a scholar said this: When you are warm and full, you will think about pleasure, but when you are hungry and cold, you will steal your heart! There are too many hungry and cold people here, and if you give them money, you will definitely be targeted. She is a woman, and she brings
With a young child, he will definitely not be able to keep the money, and he might even suffer disaster! The young master obviously has good intentions, but he might harm them..."
After listening to Monkey's words, combined with Monkey's views on the government just now, Lin Xu couldn't help but look at this mud-covered boy in a different light!
In fact, of course he understood what the monkey said. He was just temporarily affected by this tragic scene, so he arranged Xia Dahai like this without thinking too much.
Now that I think about it, it was really thanks to the monkey’s reminder. Otherwise, if I had done this, I might have harmed the family!
"Then what do you think we should do to help them?"
Lin Xu thought about the monkey and asked.
"I...I dare not say..."
Monkey glanced at Lin Xu and said carefully.
"There's no pressure, just say whatever you want."
Lin Xu encouraged.
"Then I'll just say it?"
"Say it."
"Master, I think if you really want to help them, then find a place to settle them, such as bringing them into your house as servants or something...otherwise, she is a woman, with
A child with no relatives, no house or land, an orphan and a widowed mother will sooner or later be in trouble..."
After hearing this, Lin Xu didn't say anything, but Xia Dahai was unhappy. He glared and scolded: "You monkey, how can you talk? What do you mean my husband really wants to help them? Did he want to give them money just now?
, don’t you really want to help them? And do you want to harm them?”
"Brother, don't be angry! I didn't mean it..."
The monkey quickly explained.
"okay."
Lin Xu interrupted him: "I understand what you mean. Well, Dahai, you go ask them and take them back if they are willing to follow us back."
