Chapter 318: Is It Worth It?
The owner of the bun shop said: "The imperial court also collects it, but relatively speaking, it is relatively small, and it is enough to pay 500 wen a month." ”
Angelica frowned slightly and asked, "Then the White Tiger Gang collects so much protection money, doesn't the imperial court care?" Does he not care about the county magistrate? ”
"The county magistrate wants to take care of it, but our Linping County, the county magistrate said it doesn't count."
The owner of the steamed bun shop sighed again and again, and then said to Angelica in a serious voice: "Little girl, I see that you are a kind-hearted person, so I told you so much, the refugees who poured over there are not a thousand, but also five hundred, so many people, eh, even if there are thousands of family wealth at home, it is not enough for them to eat."
So, little girl, you better not waste money like this, save some money for your parents, ah! ”
Because Angelica and Long Xilin look too young, the owner of the bun shop naturally feels that they are spending their parents' money.
Because I didn't earn it myself, I didn't know how hard it was to earn money, so when I spent it, I was also lavish and didn't know how to cherish it.
Angelica said: "Thank you uncle for reminding me, it's just that they are all living people, if they don't have food, they will starve to death." ”
Angelica said, took out ten taels of silver from the bag, handed it to the owner of the steamed bun shop, and said: "Uncle, you take some steamed buns out again, give them two for each of them today, and keep the rest of the money for giving them tomorrow, two steamed buns and two buns per person every day." ”
The owner of the bun shop, although he persuaded Angelica to save some money, but seeing that she was ten taels of silver, he suddenly felt that his worries were unnecessary.
The White Tiger Gang has raised the price of protection money, and his bun shop is already very difficult to survive, but now he has such a large and stable deal, he doesn't know how happy he is.
The owner of the bun shop hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the ten taels of silver, and said with a smile: "Little girl, you are really a bodhisattva, they are really blessed to meet you." ”
Angelica smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Over there, Long Xilin had already finished distributing all the steamed buns in his hand, and Angelica asked them to go to the owner of the steamed bun shop to get them.
When everyone received the steamed buns, Angelica and Long Xilin asked the owner of the steamed bun shop to wrap some steamed buns and prepare to take them home.
The two walked on the road, Angelica was thinking about how to settle those refugees, but Long Xilin was thinking about why Angelica was so good to them.
"Dangdang!"
"Ah Lin!"
Both men turned their heads at the same time, looked at each other, and spoke at the same time.
"Let's talk first."
Angelica was busy.
Long Xilin looked at Angelica, his eyes full of puzzlement.
"That silver just now is all your income today, right? Why did you take out that money and invite so many people to eat steamed buns? He also promised them that he would give them food every day in the future, and when you had to raise so many people at once, it would be very hard, was it worth it? ”
Long Xilin's heart was full of incomprehension and dissatisfaction.
Of course, if Angelica himself needs to spend money, use money, then no matter how much money he uses, he will not blink his eyes, but now, Dangdang wants to take the money to support those irrelevant people.
Some of them were men, and Long Xilin was naturally very resistant.
"It's worth it!" Angelica looked at Long Xilin, a pair of bright eyes shining with dazzling light.
Seeing that Long Xilin's heart was even more uncomfortable, he frowned slightly, and his handsome face was also gloomy.
"Could it be that my sister saved them just like she saved me?"
