For some unknown reason, the Zhuanbi Hall suddenly closed its doors for several days, refusing to accept people it considered irrelevant. Naturally, this included Xia Liuxi, whose name had been removed by Tang Yong with a male duck voice.
It wasn't until today that we opened the door to receive the news from various places and from the distinguished guests who were dragged to the pen hall. However, these have long had nothing to do with Xia Liuxi. She came today to repay the almost lost person she almost lost at Yuluo Villa a few days ago.
The writing that saved his life.
But to her surprise, today Tang Yong, for the rare occasion, did not insult her. Instead, he said a few words of praise that would be used in the future.
But how could she be in the mood to listen to this? She turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, Hai Qing, a girl with a red oval face, suddenly stopped her.
She told her that a rescue worker in the south of the city came to see her a few days ago and said that her grandmother, Zuo'an, had a common and serious disease.
As soon as she heard the news, Xia Liuxi did not dare to stay any longer, and she had no time to say goodbye to the others, so she ran out of the writing hall with a worried look on her face and hurried towards the rescue in the south of the city.
But unexpectedly, when she came to the bedside of her imitation grandma Zuo An, she found that she did not die not long ago as she said, but she was still as crazy as before. She still smiled when she smiled and talked to herself.
He was still talking to himself, and he still looked like he didn't recognize anything when he was delirious.
Xia Liuxi breathed a sigh of relief, but she turned to look at the man in gray on the side and asked: "Doctor Chen, human life is at stake, how can you make fun of something like this? Isn't it a bit too much?"
The man named Dr. Chen smiled and said, "Miss Xia, if we didn't use such measures, I'm afraid Miss Xia wouldn't have appeared here so soon. Our rescue team has been sending people to various places in Cangyuan City.
Miss Xia Chuxun, every time you either change your residence or use other excuses, you have already defaulted on four months’ monthly payment to the relief agency. If you don’t hand over some money today, then our relief agency will have to leave the old man on the bed.
Please go out."
Xia Liuxi naturally knew what Dr. Chen said. Although the relief center was not as good as the government's opening of an relief center for ordinary people who had no money to treat their illnesses, it was still better than the Shou'an relief center that only wealthy businessmen could spend a lot of money to live in.
The benefits come from the hospital.
Silver is also needed here.
Xia Liuxi frowned and thought for a while and said: "Doctor Chen, I know how kind the charity is, but if I suddenly take out four months of monthly silver, I'm afraid I really won't be able to get it. Doctor Chen, can you please extend your grace?"
Do I have some time?"
"A little more grace?" Dr. Chen said suspiciously.
Xia Liuxi stretched out her hands and made a sign of "ten", "Ten days, just ten days. After ten days, I will collect the money and send it over. How about it?"
"Ten days?" Dr. Chen lowered his head and considered it for a moment, then raised his head, "Miss Xia, everyone has a hard-to-recite sutra. I won't embarrass you. It will be three days at most. If you can't pay the money after three days,
At that time, please ask Miss Xia to take the old man out of our relief shop."
After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back. Although her last words were a bit heartless, she couldn't help it. After all, everyone has sutras that are difficult to recite.
Glancing at Dr. Chen's leaving figure, Xia Liuxi turned around and looked at her grandma Zuo Anshi on the bed and sighed.
Grandma Zuo An has been very fond of her only grandson since she was little. Xia Liuxi's heart is as clear as a mirror, but now that her grandmother is sick, she can't even get the money for treatment and medicine from the relief shop.
Three days?
Not to mention three days, even thirty days, she might not be able to collect four months' worth of silver. One month is eight taels of silver, and four months is sixteen taels of silver.
Even though it was only a dozen taels of silver, she couldn't afford it. At that time, her monthly salary at Zhuanbi Hall was only three taels of silver.
Besides, grandma will continue to live in this relief house, so she will undoubtedly need more money.
Perhaps, as Dr. Chen said, if you take your grandma out of the relief shop, where can you go?
"Hello! Are you Miss Xia Liuxi?" Just when Xia Liuxi was at a loss what to do, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her. She turned around and found that someone was already standing behind her.
There was a man in a black robe with long eyebrows who looked about thirty years old. There were two women in white gauze beside him, looking at her.
Xia Liuxi was stunned, "I am, I didn't know you were..."
“Ms.
"Xingshan Hall?" Xia Liuxi looked at the three people who suddenly appeared in front of him with some confusion. The word "kind" was written big on the chests of all three people.
Xingshantang is an organization founded by many wealthy businessmen in Cangyuan City who are making money every day to help the poor. Over the years, many people who cannot survive have survived because of the emergence of this organization.
Some time ago, Xia Liuxi went to Xingshan Tang to seek their help when she was desperate. However, for an organization like this that is willing to do good deeds without asking for anything in return, people who went to Xingshan Tang for help
How could it be less.
She, a daughter of a down-to-earth family, would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to be ranked next to her, but why did someone from Xingshan Hall come to her door today?
Xia Liuxi raised her head and looked at the man who called himself He Taizi, "I wonder why Xingshan Hall is looking for me..."
“Ms.
If so, Xing Shan Tang can immediately help Miss Xia solve all problems."
Xia Liuxi was slightly stunned, "Help...help me immediately, but as far as I know, it will take at least two years to discuss me, why."
He Taizi smiled: "Miss Xia is right, but you have a good friend, so you can take the lead in helping Miss Xia."
"Friend?" Xia Liuxi said suspiciously.
"Yes!" He Taizi nodded, and then he took a medium-sized folder from the woman on the side and handed it to Xia Liuxi, "This is a sponsorship contract. Once Miss Xia's name is painted on it, the patronage will be
The silver will be delivered to Miss Xia immediately, and your grandma will also be sent by our Xingshan Hall to a Shouan Hospital in the south of the city for recuperation."
Xia Liuxi looked at the sponsorship contract in her hand and felt a little bit unable to recover. She felt that everything in front of her seemed a little unreal. Just now she was racking her brains to think about the issue of whether she and her grandmother Zuo Anshi would stay or leave. But the next moment,
Those scenes that could only appear in books about gods and monsters were magically played out in front of her eyes. It always felt a little sudden and a little inexplicable.
Moreover, the word friend seems a bit unfamiliar to her who is used to living a simple life, because those so-called friends no longer existed when her family fell into decline a few years ago.
But now this friend?
Xia Liuxi frowned slightly and thought about it.
He Taizi looked at Xia Liuxi's frown and said hesitantly: "Miss Xia, if you haven't thought about it yet, then this contract will first..."
"No, no, no, I've already thought about why," Xia Liuxi immediately came back to her senses and stretched out her hand to interrupt.
Judging from the current situation of poverty and misery for their grandmother and grandson, it seems that there is no better choice than this.
Xia Liuxi no longer hesitated and decisively signed Xia Liuxi's name on the square folder with the word "contract" written on it, then closed the folder and handed it back the same way.
He Taizi took the contract and glanced at it roughly, then took out a golden bill from his sleeve and handed it over, saying: "Miss Xia, this is a gold volume issued by the Chamber of Commerce. With this volume, Miss Xia can go to
Exchange it for 12,000 silver at any commercial bank."
"Ten thousand taels?" Xia Liuxi was surprised.
"Yes." He Taizi nodded, "As for Miss Xia's grandma, our Xingshan Hall will send someone to Shou'an Yuan to recuperate within two days. If Miss Xia has nothing else to do, we will leave.
.”
After saying that, He Taizi bowed his hand and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Xia Liuxi, "Um, He Pu, wait a moment, I have something unclear?"
"Miss Xia, please speak." He Taizi was still very polite.
Xia Liuxi thought for a while and then said: "You just said that I have a good friend. Can you tell me who that friend is?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Xia, Xingshantang cannot disclose this." He Taizi replied with a smile, and then he stayed for a little longer and walked out of the room with more than ten people living together with the two women beside him.
ward.
As soon as he came out, the woman on the left who was a bit prettier than the right blinked her big eyes. She couldn't help looking at He Taizi with curiosity in her heart and said: "Brother He, why are you doing that to the young lady named Xia inside?"
You're polite, you're not a dignitary that we can't afford to offend, and I've never seen you be so polite to anyone, Brother He."
"Yes!" The inferior Baisha woman on the other side also nodded, "According to the rules of our Xingshan Hall, Miss Xia has to wait at least two to three years for her turn. I'm curious, what is it?
With such a friend, just saying a few words can make her jump in line and go through the back door."
He Taizi lowered his head slightly and sighed, then glanced at them with a look that said they didn't understand anything, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Miss Xia's friend is not something we at Xingshan Hall can mess with."
Lord who deserves it.”
In the ward.
Xia Liuxi stared blankly at the 10,000 taels of gold scroll in her hand. Ten thousand taels was the first time in several years that she had seen so much silver.
However, she really couldn't figure out which of her friends could talk to Xingshantang. Even when her Xia family was prosperous, she might not have had that ability. Someone with such ability would definitely be a reputable person in Cangyuan City.
figure.
But in her mind, she couldn't remember that she had such a capable friend.
Are you helping yourself?
Or there is another purpose!
Xia Liuxi also couldn't figure it out.
Then just don’t think about it. Anyway, it’s not harmful to things or people. Besides, it also solves the urgent need now, so why not do it!
