Although Jian Xiaozhu knew that stealing was wrong. But seeing the skinny appearance of the young man, she still couldn't bear it, so she got out of the carriage.

Jian Xiaozhu originally wanted to take out the gold leaf that Bai Ning Frost rewarded her, but when she thought about it, it seemed that it was particularly valuable, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to make change. So he took out a few pieces of silver from a small cloth bag. It's just that Jian Xiaozhu hasn't given the broken silver to the little boy yet, but Zhu Yan snatched the broken silver from Jian Xiaozhu's palm.

Jian Xiaozhu was shocked: "What are you doing?" Grab money? ”

Zhu Yan glanced at her angrily, then took out a grain of broken silver, walked up to the strong man, and handed him the broken silver: "I paid the money for him, you can let him go." ”

On the side, Jian Xiaozhu complained in her heart: This is my money......

And the peddler who sold steamed buns, after seeing this grain of broken silver, quickly took it in his hand with glowing eyes, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and then was overjoyed: "This boy is willing to pay, I will let him go." ”

The peddler said that, and pointed at the boy viciously: "Don't let me see you again next time!" ”

The boy lowered his head and whispered sorry. The peddler turned around and was about to go back to the bun shop, but Zhu Yan stopped him: "Wait a minute." ”

The peddler was startled and quickly hid the broken silver behind him: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhu Yan: "The silver I gave you should be able to buy more than one basket of steamed buns." ”

When Jian Xiaozhu left the bun shop with a large cloth bag full of buns, he saw Zhu Yan at the corner of the street, and asked the young man with a serious expression: "Why do you want to steal?" ”

The young man rubbed his red and swollen eyes and replied, "My father is dead, and the younger brothers and sisters in the family are still hungry, and I have no money, so I ......"

Jian Xiaozhu asked, "What about your mother?" ”

Teenager: "She died in childbirth after giving birth to her third brother. ”

Hearing the young man's words, Jian Xiaozhu took out a bun from the cloth bag and walked over to him: "Are you hungry?" ”

But the boy took the bun and didn't eat it, but put it in his pocket: "Thank you, this kind sister." I want to take it back and give it to my younger siblings. ”

Jian Xiaozhu felt sad for a while, opened the cloth bag, revealing a whole bag of buns, and said to the young man: "These are all for you, so eat them when you are hungry." ”

So the boy took out the bun in his pocket and swallowed it in his stomach in three or two clicks.

Jian Xiaozhu's face was full of sympathy: "This child must be hungry." ”

Zhu Yan: "Nonsense! ”

Jian Xiaozhu glanced at him secretly, and then pointed to his hand: "These remaining silver?" ”

Zhu Yan gave the silver to Jian Xiaozhu, Jian Xiaozhu took the silver and wanted to give the broken silver to the young man, but Zhu Yan stopped him.

Jian Xiaozhu was dissatisfied: "What do you want to do?" ”

Zhu Yan said coldly: "You can't help him like this." ”

Half an hour later, Jian Xiaozhu twisted a big bag of buns and came to the young man's house with Zhu Yan. On the way, Jian Xiaozhu learned that the boy's name was Tiewa, and his father was a blacksmith who liked to drink. A month ago, he fell into the river after getting drunk and unfortunately died.

Since the family did not have much money, the teenager and his younger siblings could only find a place to bury their father, but the livelihood of the three children became a problem for a while. Seeing his younger siblings starving at home, the boy stole the buns in desperation.

Jian Xiaozhu thought, there are really many poor people like this in this world. When the carriage stopped in front of the boy's house, Jian Xiaozhu saw that the boy's home was a shack made of very dilapidated wood. There are many simple houses like this in this area, which should be equivalent to modern urban villages.

After getting out of the carriage, the boy called out at the door, "I'm back." ”

I saw two little boys and girls with black faces running out of the house, pounced on the young man, and shouted happily: "Brother, you have finally returned." ”

When the boy saw his younger siblings, he smiled and said, "I met my kind older brothers and sisters on the road and brought us something to eat." ”

Jian Xiaozhu handed the cloth bag full of buns to the two children, and smiled: "Hurry up and eat." ”

The little girl was about to reach out for the bun, but the boy stopped her: "Let's go to the carriage to carry things first." ”

Jian Xiaozhu stuffed the bag into the little girl's arms and said, "It's okay, I'll just move it." ”

It's just that the young man still walked to the carriage with Jian Xiaozhu and said to her: "I'll just move these, big sister, you have already helped us a lot." ”

But Jian Xiaozhu waved his hand: "Don't care." ”

Jian Xiaozhu, the coachman's uncle, and the boy carried the fresh vegetables, pork, and rice noodles on the carriage to the door of the house. And Zhu Yan just followed behind them, watching them move things, but he didn't help with them. This made Jian Xiaozhu very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say anything.

After moving everything to the house, Zhu Yan put a bag of copper plates in exchange for broken silver on the oil-stained wooden table in the house, and then turned around to leave. But the little girl stood in front of him, blocking his way.

The little girl looked at Zhu Yan timidly, and said a little timidly, "Big sister, thank you." ”

Hearing the little girl's words, Zhu Yan frowned, but Jian Xiaozhu couldn't help laughing. But when she received Zhu Yan's death gaze, she quickly shut up and shuddered.

Seeing Zhu Yan's gradually cold expression, the little girl grabbed the corner of her clothes with some fear, and her whole face was wrinkled

In a ball, it seems like I'm going to cry at any moment. Seeing this, Zhu Yan suddenly reached out and touched the little girl's head, the look of gloom in his eyes disappeared, and he showed a gentle smile to her: "No thanks." ”

Zhu Yan was born more beautiful than a woman, but he kept a straight face when he faced Jian Xiaozhu on weekdays, so that Jian Xiaozhu always regarded him as a male cannon fodder with a very bad heart. At this time, when the sunlight passed through the window and fell on Zhu Yan's beautiful face, Jian Xiaozhu only felt that Zhu Yan was so beautiful that he looked even more dazzling than the sun.

In front of Zhu Yan, the little girl saw Zhu Yan's smile, her eyes widened, and she said yearningly: "Big sister, you are so good-looking." ”

Jian Xiaozhu saw that although Zhu Yan was still smiling on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Leaving the young man's house, Jian Xiaozhu was in the carriage and saw three children standing at the door of the house from a distance, still waving at them. So Jian Xiaozhu asked Zhu Yan: "You said that they don't have a father, what should they do in the future?" ”

Zhu Yan returned to his indifferent expression: "I don't know, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Jian Xiaozhu looked at Zhu Yan helplessly, and then said, "Obviously, you are also very enthusiastic to help them." And, ah, I think you're doing the right thing, a lot more thoughtful than I thought. ”

Zhu Yan looked at Jian Xiaozhu, and Jian Xiaozhu continued: "Indeed, giving these children money is of little use, and it will even be of great help. After all, there are too many bad-hearted adults, so it's better to give them the currency with the smallest amount. And buying them some food can also help them live a good life for a while. ”

After speaking, Jian Xiaozhu added in her heart: Although I paid the money.

Just thinking of the path those children will take in the future, Jian Xiaozhu said worriedly: "In case they run out of money, they haven't found a way to survive......"

Zhu Yan interrupted her coldly: "That's their business. ”

Jian Xiaozhu didn't expect Zhu Yan to say this, so he muttered in a low voice: "Obviously, you helped them just now." ”

Zhu Yan: "That kind of help is just an emergency, and in the long run, they have to rely on themselves." What's more, there are many children like this, and they can't help them if they want to. ”

After speaking, Zhu Yan folded his arms and closed his eyes, no longer wanting to take care of Jian Xiaozhu.

The atmosphere in the carriage cooled for a moment.

Jian Xiaozhu could only continue to lean on the car window and look at the scenery on the side of the road.

Until, let her familiar scenery come into view.

The coachman's uncle stopped the carriage at this time and said to Jian Xiaozhu, "Miss Zhang, your home has arrived." ”
