Chapter 42 Chengnan Porridge
After the two arrived at the slum in the south of the city, Lin Xiaojiu saw that it was full of life, and the old man was sitting on the side of the road at dusk, no matter how dirty his body was, his eyes were numb.
There were also women who knelt on the ground and begged passers-by for something to eat, even if it was a mouthful, and most of them had one or two children with them.
In this way, even some children as big as Xiaohu are lifeless, and there is no yearning for life in their eyes.
There are also many blood bruises on his body, and it looks like he has been beaten.
Lin Xiaojiu thought that he was desperate before he died, but at this time, he felt that his eyes were a little sour.
How can these people not despair? It's just that everyone faces different difficulties.
Luo Xuanze suddenly noticed that her mood was a little low, and ordered the guys in the pharmacy to give alms first, pulled Lin Xiaojiu to the side, looked down at her somewhat red eyes, and said softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Lin Xiaojiu blinked his eyes and forced back his tears: "It's nothing, it's just that I feel a little sad when I see them." ”
Luo Xuanze looked at her fixedly, and she couldn't help but turn her head to avoid her gaze, only to hear a sigh in her ear: "All living beings are suffering, you and I can do what we can." ”
Lin Xiaojiu's heart softened, nodded, and the two of them personally gave porridge to one person after another.
Ruan Er went to the street to hang out in order to hide from his daughter-in-law, and when he saw a fairly good-looking wooden hairpin, he wanted to buy it and give it to the tigress at home, so that she could dissipate her anger and feel better at home.
Just as he was about to pay, he was snatched by a pair of big hands that were half-intercepted from the side.
"Hey......" Ruan Er turned his head and suddenly paused, just because he still knew these two people.
"Yo, Ruan Er, that's not it, I still have spare money to buy hairpins. This is rich, help our brothers. ”
The two men stood aside and looked at Ruan Er with a smile.
"Where, the poor in the family are almost unable to open the pot, it's not that the tigress in the family is fierce, I don't want to buy a hairpin to coax, otherwise I won't have a good time back."
The two brothers, the big tiger and the second tiger, glanced at each other, and looked at Ruan Er with sympathy.
"My brother and sister are still so strong?"
Ruan Er said that he was suffering, and the two big tiger brothers patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, okay, brothers all know that they will come out to drink two cups together when they are free in the future, this drunkenness will relieve a thousand sorrows, just drink two cups."
As he spoke, he checked the two coins in his hand again, "As for these two coins, let's use them for my brother, I've been too tight lately, so I'll leave first." ”
Ruan Er could only watch the two leave shoulder to shoulder, looking entangled, and he hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to come back.
But the hairpin still had to be bought, so he had to take out the last two pennies on his body to buy it.
He has never had much money on him, almost all of it is managed by his daughter-in-law, and now he has to use the little money he has left to buy things to please her.
As soon as Ruan Er entered the courtyard gate, the woman sitting in the room noticed it and threw a sewn clothes over: "You still know to come back!" ”
She had been sitting here for a long time sewing and mending her clothes, helping Ruan Er to sew all the clothes, no matter what, she couldn't let this nest waste herself.
A good yellow flower girl married him, if she was divorced and went back to live with her brother and sister-in-law, the people around her didn't know what to think of herself, she really couldn't afford to lose this face.
Ruan Er caught the clothes, inadvertently glanced at the sewn place on it and was stunned for a moment, and then said cautiously: "You're not angry with me?" ”
Ruan's second daughter-in-law stood up and rolled her eyes, how could she say that she was not angry? It's just that getting money from that Lin family is the most important thing now.
"Earlier, the eldest sister of the Wen family and the daughter-in-law of Erzhu came together to persuade me to give birth to some children."
She threw an olive branch first, Ruan Er was overjoyed, and immediately flattered the wooden hairpin she bought on the street.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm going too far today, this hairpin is for you, you must look good with it."
The carving of the wooden hairpin is also good, and the color of Ruan's second daughter-in-law has eased a lot after getting it in her hand.
"Where did you get this money?"
Ruan Er, who had relaxed a little, immediately became nervous again, "All this money I have been putting on my body is urgent, and now it is gone." ”
His answer was obviously expected by Ruan Er's daughter-in-law, because she had always calculated the money she gave Ruan Er, and he didn't have the courage to hide the money privately.
I also know that buying a hairpin to please myself is not too stupid.
"Okay, it's not early, I'll go cook and eat first, and I have something to tell you after eating."
Hearing her say this, Ruan Er knew that she was no longer angry with herself, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay." ”
After the two of them made some random things and finished eating, they sat down together at the head of the pit and talked about the things that the Wen and the two of them had mentioned here today.
Needless to say, Ruan Er will not give up easily, after all, if this money is coming, they will be fine clothes and food, and they will have a lot of fish and meat.
Ruan's second daughter-in-law was a little worried: "It's really such a reason, but how can we ask for it, just her appearance of not getting oil and salt, it looks very difficult, if only we still had some helpers." ”
Ruan Er frowned, "Originally, when Erdan was there, I could ask Erdan to call a few brothers to threaten the Lin family together, but now they are all arrested." ”
As he spoke, Ruan Er suddenly remembered the two brothers who had only seen the big tiger and the second tiger during the day, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"There it is! I know who to look for! ”
The daughter-in-law on the side hurriedly came over, "Who?" ”
"It's the two brothers, the big tiger and the second tiger, ask them to help us with this, it's a big deal to give them some benefits in the end, can they still help us with this."
Hearing that it was the two brothers, she couldn't help frowning: "Just them? What can we help with idle days and no business? ”
Ruan Er insisted unusually this time: "It's because they don't do their jobs, so we can take some money and send them away at will." ”
"Let's ask them to find trouble with Lin Xiaojiu, their brothers are the best at this kind of thing."
Ruan's second daughter-in-law was gradually persuaded by her own man, "If that's the case, then call them." ”
On the second day, she gave Ruan Er a lot of money: "Remember to do the right thing, don't spend this money indiscriminately." ”
Ruan Er put the money away and promised: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." ”
When the two brothers and Ruan Er sat in the tavern and listened to this, they didn't hesitate at all.
"Brother, it's right for you to find us in this matter, our brothers promise to do a good job of yours, but this is the reward......" Dahu's two fingers rubbed back and forth.
