On a densely populated street, there was a little girl squatting in a corner selling paper-cuts. On the ground in front of her are handmade cutouts of various flowers, birds and beasts—all of which she has cut herself. The little girl was about ten years old, with a round face, her hair tied in a bun, her skin tanned by the sun, and a melancholy look on her face.

Although there are countless people coming and going in front of her, few people buy her cutouts, either glance at them or ignore them.

She sold only five paintings from morning to afternoon.

She was hungry and had a dry mouth, but she was reluctant to buy food because the money she used to sell paper cutouts was used for other more important purposes.

At this time, I suddenly saw an angry middle-aged woman with a six or seven-year-old boy walking briskly and coming to the little girl, who tore a banknote in her hand into two pieces, and then threw it hard in front of the little girl, and said sharply: "Why do you want to return the fake money to my son?" You bullied him for being young and ignorant, didn't you? You know how to harm people at a young age, and you can pay it back when you grow up! ”

Seeing the woman's fierce look, the little girl was frightened, she picked up the torn banknote, and stammered, "Auntie, I ...... I don't know if it's a fake to return to your son...... Fake money, besides, the money has been ...... How do I know if the money is my ...... after passing through your hands?"

The pointed at the little girl and roared, "You don't want to admit it, do you! ”

The little girl was trembling all over her body and muttered, "I ......"

The impatient woman pulled the two bright red paper cuts from her son's hand, crumpled them into a ball and threw them at the little girl's head, the little girl couldn't help but shrink her neck, and the woman stomped her foot hard and said, "Don't you have no parents?" I don't want this paper-cut, you hurry up and return the money to me, otherwise, I will clean you up! ”

The little girl drooped her head, clasped her hands on the back of her head, and said nothing, obviously unwilling to return the money to the, but she did not dare to confront her with words.

The suddenly raised her foot and kicked the little girl's waist, and with a "bang", the little girl fell on the hard = hard cement floor, and then scolded with a "wow", only to see her cover her eyes with her hands, and tears flowed out of her fingers.

At this time, a man walked quickly over and picked up the child, and angrily rebuked the woman: "You are an adult, how can you beat a child?" After finishing speaking, he glanced at the torn banknote, which turned out to be a twenty yuan note, and indeed the image of this banknote had been blurred, and there were obvious signs of fading in some places.

The woman was still angry, gesturing loudly: "She used counterfeit money to cover my son, and I still refused to admit it after I found out, do you think she should be beaten?" ”

Feng Tianyu asked the little girl softly: "Is that the case?" ”

The little girl bowed her head and sobbed and said, "Give back the money to her son...... It's all customers...... I bought paper cutouts for you, and I don't know if the money is real or not......"

The looked at Feng Tianyu and said confidently: "Look at it, look at it!" She returned this counterfeit money to my son, right? ”

The son of the also pointed at the little girl and said loudly: "You, who lacks a mother's support, deceive me with fake money!" ”

In the face of fierce accusations, the little girl did not dare to fight back at all, except for crying.

Feng Tianyu sympathized with the little girl, so he took out twenty yuan and handed it to the and said, "Here you go, don't embarrass the child again." ”

The unceremoniously took the money and asked with a cold snort: "What, are you the father of this child?" ”

Feng Tianyu said: "I'm not, I'm just a passerby, I can't get used to your fierce behavior, so I want to stop you from hurting the child!" Is it easy for children to sell some paper-cutting during the summer vacation and earn some pocket money? The child doesn't know that the money returned to your son is counterfeit, and even if you know that it is counterfeit money, you can't just hit someone! ”

At this time, the little girl's lips moved twice, and she didn't know what she wanted to say, but she didn't say it.

"Yo, you're still teaching people a lesson!" The crossed her hands on her hips, stared at Feng Tianyu and said, "Do you believe it or not, I called the police and asked the police to take this child to the police station to deal with it?" ”

"Okay, I was about to call the police! You just hit the child, see what the police will do! Feng Tianyu took out his mobile phone and prepared to put it on the phone.

The woman's face changed, she pulled the little boy next to her, and said loudly: "Son, let's go, we are unlucky!" ”

The little boy followed the away, and from time to time he turned his head to look at the paper cuts on the ground here, obviously reluctant to give up on them.

Feng Tianyu squatted on the ground and asked the little girl, "What's your name?" ”

"Liu Miaoling." The little girl replied softly, rubbing the corners of her eyes with her arms.

Feng Tianyu asked again: "Why did you sell paper-cutting alone?" Didn't your mom and dad give you pocket money? ”

Liu Miaoling choked back tears and said: "My mother is sick and needs a lot of money, and I am here to make money to see a doctor for my mother." ”

Feng Tianyu was greatly surprised, and couldn't help asking, "What is your mother's illness?" ”

Liu Miaoling shook her head blankly and said, "I don't know, I just heard from my mother that her illness needs to spend a lot of money to be cured well." ”

"What does your dad do? Didn't your dad have the money to treat your mom? Feng Tianyu frowned and asked.

Liu Miaoling hesitated for a moment before she whispered, "My father is no longer alive." ”

Feng Tianyu hurriedly said, "I'm sorry! It's a sad thing to remind you. Do you have older brothers and sisters? ”

Liu Miaoling said: "My mother only has one child. ”

Feng Tianyu felt sad for a while, glanced at the paper-cuts on the ground, about twenty pieces, he smiled and said: "Child, these paper-cuts are all bought by uncles, you put them away and go back with your uncle to get the money." ”

Liu Miaoling suppressed her tears, a smile bloomed on her face, and said, "Thank you, uncle!" ”

This place is not too far from Feng Tianyu's hotel, about a five-minute walk.

Along the way, Feng Tianyu asked the little girl where her hometown was, whether her mother was in the hospital or at home, and the little girl said that her hometown was out of town, because there was no money for treatment, and her mother was now lying on the bed at home.

When he came to the hotel, Feng Tianyu took out 500 yuan from the drawer in the office and handed it to the little girl, but he only took a paper cut with a pattern of a galloping horse from her hand, and he said softly: "Child, you can take the rest back and sell it." ”

The little girl was startled, and hurriedly returned the money to Feng Tianyu, saying, "Uncle, I can't charge you so much money!" If you buy one, I can only charge you fifteen dollars. Can you give me fifteen dollars? ”

Feng Tianyu felt very relieved, indicating that this child was not a greedy person for money, but he intended to help her, so he stuffed the money into her hand and said, "Child, don't shirk!" Your mother is sick and needs a lot of medical expenses, although this money can't solve much of a problem, but it is a little bit of your uncle's heart, I hope you can take it to buy some nutritional products for your mother, okay? ”

The little girl suddenly realized that this uncle was not interested in buying paper-cuts, but wanted to help her mother! Her eyes were moist, and these were tears of emotion! She suddenly knelt down on her legs and said, "Thank you, uncle!" ”

"Hey, hurry up!" Feng Tianyu hurriedly picked her up and asked, "Child, where do you live?" Do you want your uncle to send you back? ”

The little girl nodded, then shook her head again, and said, "Don't bother uncle, I'll go back myself." ”

Feng Tianyu asked a little uneasily: "Is your home far from here?" ”

The little girl said, "It's not far, it's about half an hour's walk." ”

Feng Tianyu said: "Okay, you go back, if you need your uncle's help in the future, then come over and tell your uncle, as long as your uncle can help, I will definitely help." ”

The little girl nodded gratefully. But instead of leaving, she stared at the dry bread on the table, swallowing her saliva.

Feng Tianyu looked at her eyes, then at the bread, and couldn't help asking, "Do you want to eat bread?" ”

The little girl whispered, "Uncle, I haven't eaten for a day, I'm hungry." ”

"Ahh Feng Tianyu exclaimed in surprise, took her hand and said, "Go below, I'll cook for you right away!" ”

After bringing the little girl below, Feng Tianyu went to the kitchen to get two dishes, and then brought them out. He gave the little girl another bowl of rice and handed it to her.

The little girl was so hungry that she took the bowl and began to eat it in large gulps. She ate two large bowls to fill her stomach.

Feng Tianyu felt sad when she looked at the little girl like this, if her mother was not sick, or her father was still alive, then she might not come out alone to sell paper-cuts, let alone starve! What disease did her mother have? Will you still be able to take care of this little girl?

After the little girl drank a glass of water, she was ready to say goodbye to Feng Tianyu.

Feng Tianyu stood up and said, "I'll go with you to visit your mother!" ”

The little girl said happily, "Thank you, uncle!" ”

The little girl's family lives in the suburbs. Feng Tianyu followed the little girl to her door. When he looked at it, he saw that it was an old two-story house with mottled lime walls, and it was estimated to be more than 20 years old; The coat poles of the cement yard dam are covered with colorful quilt covers and clothes, swaying in the evening wind. When she came, the little girl told him that she and her mother lived in a rented house. It seems that this house is inhabited by many outsiders.

When I walked into the house, I saw a woman in her forties leaning against an old rattan chair, her eyes slightly closed and her skin yellowish. Hearing someone coming in, she suddenly opened her eyes, and when she saw Liu Miaoling followed by a strange man, she looked surprised, and barely straightened up, looking weak. Before she could ask, Liu Miaoling said, "Mom, this is Uncle Feng, he came to visit you." As he spoke, he walked over to his mother and held her weak body.

Feng Tianyu nodded at the woman, indicating that he had indeed come to visit her.

The woman was even more stunned, where did the Uncle Feng that this daughter said come from? And on what basis did he come to visit him?

Liu Miaoling seemed to see the confusion on her mother's face, so she said: "This uncle saw that I was pitiful for selling paper-cutting, so he gave me 500 yuan, and he said to buy nutritional products for my mother to eat." ”

Hearing her daughter say this, a grateful smile immediately appeared on the woman's sickly face, and she said "thank you" several times in a row! Then asked her daughter to quickly move the stool for Feng Tianyu to sit on.

After Feng Tianyu sat down, he asked with concern: "Eldest sister, what disease do you have?" ”

The woman said breathlessly, "Heart valve disease, the doctor said...... To cure this disease, it is necessary to...... Seventy or eighty thousand yuan, I ...... I don't have any money, so I ......"

Feng Tianyu frowned and asked, "Do you have medical insurance?" ”

The woman told him weakly that she had brought her daughter to the city two years ago to do odd jobs and had never returned to her hometown, and she did not realize the importance of medical insurance at that time, so she did not think of applying for it. I didn't have any insurance at the factory where I worked. After she went to the hospital two months ago to check that she was seriously ill, she voluntarily left her job, and the factory did not give her any compensation.

Feng Tianyu sighed secretly, she didn't buy any insurance, and she didn't have money for treatment, what should she do?

Before leaving, he threw another thousand dollars to the patient. Although this money is a drop in the bucket for her treatment, it is better than nothing.
