The woman looked stupid, still standing there.

After a long time, when she suddenly saw her fall to her knees with a pop, she looked up at Gu Tianya, her face full of majestic tears. Gu Tianya was taken aback, and stretched out his hand to pull her up, but the woman stubbornly resisted, and suddenly cried and said: "Don't pull me, don't pull me, let me kowtow to you, otherwise I won't feel at ease with this medicine!" ”

She arched her head to the ground, whimpered, and said: "Mr. Gu, I know, you are not angry at all, your anger is all pretending, this is a medicine worth a thousand yuan, you are worried that I am reluctant to eat, Mr. Gu, I thank you!" ”

She kept kowtowing, no matter how Gu Tianya pulled it, she couldn't pull it up, she cried so loudly, holding the box of medicine with both hands.

Li Shimin's eyes were sour when he watched from the side, and he suddenly reached out to help Gu Tianya pull her together, and the two big men worked together to finally forcibly pull the woman up.

But the woman didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly broke free and knelt down again, whimpering and crying: "Please, let me kneel, you don't want me to kowtow to you, then you let me kneel for you for a while?" Otherwise, my heart will be uneasy. Mr. Gu, the slave begs for you. ”

Gu Tianya sighed dejectedly, and said with a difficult tone: "Sister-in-law, why are you suffering. ”

But I saw the woman kneeling on the ground, wiping a handful of tears behind her, and suddenly she looked like she had become demented, as if muttering to herself: "A widow like me, living like a puddle of mud, since the man in my family is gone, I thought that no one would pull me in this life, so I no longer regard myself as a woman, I forced myself to live like an animal......"

She wiped her tears again, and said stupidly: "Whenever I can't support it, I tell myself not to be discouraged, because I'm just an animal, and the animal is the most hard-working, but I'm a woman after all, and I also yearn for someone to hurt, but since the man in my family is gone, who in this world will care about me?" ”

After she said this, she suddenly looked up at Gu Tianya, for some reason, she smiled tearfully and muttered: "Mr. Gu, do you know, I originally thought that I might be tired to death one day, and I died silently, lying on the ground like an animal, no one cares, no one pays attention, I don't care about this kind of thing for a long time, because I feel that I am no different from being alive and dead...... But tonight, I was taken care of by Mr. Gu, which made me suddenly realize that I was still a living person, there are still people in this world who are pitiful, there are still people in this world who care about me, I am not an animal, I am a living person. ”

She held the box of medicine in both hands, her fingers gently rubbed on it, she looked up at Gu Tianya, the tears in her eyes surged again, and suddenly she cried again, begging: "Mr. Gu, let the slave family kowtow to you." Thank you for making me no longer an animal. ”

Gu Tianya took a deep breath, finally nodded at her heavily, and said solemnly: "Okay!" I agreed. ”

The woman immediately rejoiced and wept and kowtowed to him.

At this time, a hand suddenly stretched out next to him and slapped Gu Tianya on the shoulder.

But seeing that Li Shimin's face was respectful, but he gritted his teeth in his mouth, he stared at Gu Tianya and said: "Gu Tianya, you are ruthless, I Li Er is not very convincing in my life, but your kid has opened my eyes today." ”

Gu Tianya took a deep breath again, and said apologetically: "Second brother, I'm sorry, I just said that I wanted to do something happy, but it made you uncomfortable again." ”

Who knew that Li Shimin shook his head slowly, and suddenly let out a long breath in his mouth, pointed to the woman kneeling on the ground and said, "This is the happiest thing in the world." ”

The two men glanced at each other, and suddenly there was a sense of disobedience.

……

At this time, it was late at night, and it was inconvenient for the two to stay for a long time, so Li Shimin first said goodbye, and went out of the village directly to call Duan Zhixuan, and then he personally hugged the little girl Niuniu, and returned again to send the child home.

Gu Tianya told again that women must remember to take medicine on time, and when he was leaving, he suddenly glanced in the thatched cottage again, and finally stopped his gaze on the hay in the corner, as if giving an order: "It's too cold this winter, and it's easy to freeze if you sleep on the ground, especially if you're sick, you can't sleep on the ground." ”

He said without waiting for the woman to speak, and said again: "I will ask someone to get a bed board for your house, and then ask someone to help sew a set of bedding, and these expenses will be recorded for the time being, and you will remember to return them when you make money." ”

The woman was suddenly a little worried, and said in a low voice: "The slave family is too weak, and the employer is unwilling to give money." I only give one pound of food a day, which is considered my salary for work. Mr. Gu, it is difficult for the slave family to save money. ”

"That's before, and I won't go back again!"

Gu Tianya smiled gently, looked at her and said, "From tomorrow, you will work in Gujia Village, as for the errand in the grain depot, don't go again after you push it off." ”

The woman was visibly surprised.

Gu Tianya glanced at her, and said softly: "You should have heard about the situation in our Gujia Village, women can earn at least five literary wages a day when they work, the post station is free to eat, and the hot porridge is open to eat." At the end of the evening, you can also hold a bowl of broth, your Niuniu is my apprentice, you can enjoy the broth for free, so you can keep the broth after you finish work, just to raise your stomach problems and recover as soon as possible. ”

The woman was even more surprised, but also apprehensive, and couldn't help but ask cowardly: "I heard that Gujia Village has hired enough people, and those in our village who went to apply were persuaded to come back." ”

Gu Tianya exhaled lightly, his eyes seemed to glance at Li Shimin, who was not far from the door, as if muttering to himself: "That's because there were few things before, so I hired dozens of people, and it will definitely not be in the future, I will hire more people." ”

The woman followed his gaze and looked outside, and suddenly asked cautiously and softly, "That gentleman outside is a big man." ”

Gu Tianya glanced at her and smiled: "Yes!" ”

He arched his hand and said goodbye: "It's not early, you go to bed early, remember to make a fire, don't freeze my apprentice, she will be thrown to the ground in the future, and she can't continue to go to my night school if she freezes......"

The woman glanced at the sleeping child, and hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Mr. Gu, don't worry, the slave family promises to make a fire tonight, and I can go to Gujia Village to earn money in the future, and I will no longer be reluctant to waste firewood." ”

Gu Tianya was finally relieved, and this time he really said goodbye and left.

It was late at night, the cold wind was howling, and the woman had been standing at the door to send off, watching Gu Tianya's figure walk far, far away.

It wasn't until she could no longer see Gu Tianya's back that hot tears flowed out of her eyes again, she hugged the box of medicine with both hands, and muttered a blessing in her mouth, saying, "Mr. Gu, may you live a long life." ”
