Chapter 366: Helping Hands
Li Shi's face changed instantly, he took two steps back in a panic, pretended to be calm, and shouted in somewhat distorted words, "What nonsense are you talking about, I don't know what nonsense you are talking about." If a hundred taels is too much, then fifty taels, no less, and send the silver today. After saying that, the Li family fled as if they were fleeing, Huang Fuxue looked at the seat at the door a little strangely, and then turned his head and asked, "What did you mean by that sentence just now?" ”
Huangfu Xue always felt that An Mingchen had some secrets, and he was always full of him. An Mingchen didn't want to mention this topic again, so he put a chopstick dish in her bowl, "Hurry up and eat, it will be cold later." Recently, there are more and more victims in the capital, most of them have fled from the northwest, but the court has not given any instructions so far, many rich households in the city have taken the initiative to give porridge, so that these victims will not starve to death, but Huangfuxue knows that the emergency does not help the poor, no matter which rich family, will not always provide for these victims in vain, they still need to find a way to make a living if they want to survive in the capital.
At noon that day, when Huangfuxue walked back, he saw a woman holding two children, lying on the ground weakly, the children were still very small, well-behaved and sensible with a broken bowl that I didn't know where to pick up, desperately pouring water into the woman's mouth, the woman closed her eyes, motionless, as if she was dead.
Seeing this, Huangfu Xue stepped forward quickly, squatted down to check the woman's condition, and made sure that he was just fainting from hunger, so he called the magpie to buy some food, "Two little guys, you first, wait for your mother to wake up and give him food." Don't worry, she'll wake up later. Huangfu Xue helped the woman to a shady place, helped find some hot water, put her things away and prepared to leave, and the child took her hand and stared at her with a smile.
"Do you have anything else to do with me?" The little boy is very thin, it can be said that he is skinny, and his big eyes are very conspicuous, Huang Fuxue suddenly became motherly, squatted down, took her hand, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, if you need your sister's help, just say it." ”
"Mother...... Save my mother. The little boy looked at Huang Fuxue with a stubborn face, Huang Fuxue patiently explained to him again, seeing that she still didn't believe it, so she had to sit aside and wait with her, and after a quarter of an hour, the woman finally woke up, and the little boy lay on the woman and cried loudly. The woman also cried with her, and when she looked up after crying enough, she saw Huangfu Xue, "This young lady, thank you for saving your life, if it weren't for you, the woman would ...... today"
"You're welcome, I happened to be passing by, but there is a porridge shed in front of you, why are you hungry?" Huangfu Xue was puzzled, most of the victims on the street in the past few days had passed, and the woman was with two children, why didn't she go over. The woman looked sad when she thought of this, "It's not that I don't want to go over, these two children are too young, I can't squeeze them in at all, but let them go, I don't ......feel at ease" A few words, Huang Fuxue knew her difficulties, "It's that I didn't think it through." "I thought the previous plan was foolproof, but I didn't think of this." You wait and follow him, and you will be able to drink porridge without queuing. ”
"Really?" The woman's face was delighted, and there was disbelief, "Miss has a kind heart, and good people must be rewarded." After pulling the two children, he knelt down and was about to kowtow to Huangfu Xue, but Huang Fuxue hurriedly waved his hand when he saw this, "No need, hurry up." Hurry up and eat your food, and follow the magpies, I'll go back first if I have something to do. After Huang Fuxue left, the magpie took them to the porridge shed, and the woman inquired about Huang Fuxue's news, and in the afternoon she said that she was good to their mother and son, and in one afternoon, Huang Fuxue became a great benevolent person admired by everyone in the capital, and Huang Fuxue was flattered when she heard about it.
"I really just happened to pass by, and I couldn't bear not to help when I saw the child pitiful." Huangfu Xue explained with a smile, An Mingchen stretched out his hand and took the person into his arms, "No matter what, you have done a good deed, and it is also deserving to be praised, there is nothing to be burdened, I am your husband, I am very proud when I heard it, lady, you are so good." ”
"I naturally know I'm good, but won't this be too high-profile, after all, our previous things have just been suppressed, and this will not be good for us if these news will come out." Huangfu Xue was worried about An Mingchen, An Mingchen smiled and shook his head, "No need, I have explained everything before, don't worry." No more gossiping. ”
Huang Fuyue was envious after hearing the news, she has been much more low-key recently, and the business of the shop has also deteriorated a lot, she has nothing left, the shop is her only spiritual pillar, she can't keep slumping like this, she has to find a way to make the shop's business better, and then thought of today's things, and secretly thought, should she also do a good deed and promote the shop?
On the second day, Huang Fuyue bought a lot of candy on the street, and when he saw the child, he sent it, and for a few days, the children in the neighborhood knew Huang Fuyue, and when he saw him, his sister shouted. Huang Fuyue had such a sense of accomplishment for the first time, and in the morning she sent out candy and was going to buy them some pastries, when the housekeeper ran in, "The eldest lady is not good, there are a lot of troublesome women outside who say that they are here to find the eldest lady." ”
"No way, I don't know any woman. Is it looking for the second child, and then recognized the wrong person. Subconsciously thought of Huangfu Xue. The housekeeper also thought so at first, and asked carefully to make sure that he had heard correctly, "Miss, the old slave has already confirmed, and he is indeed here to find you." Those people don't look very good-tempered, so you might as well go over and take a look. "The master seems to be coming back today, if he sees this scene, the eldest lady is afraid that she will be scolded.
"Alright, I'll go with you now." Huangfu Yue put down the things in her hand, got up and followed the housekeeper to the door, there were more than a dozen women around the gate, chattering and shouting, seeing her come out, they stepped forward one after another, and asked loudly, "Miss Huangfu, if you really want to do good deeds, you buy some food for us, we are naturally grateful to you, but what are you doing when you buy so much sugar for your child, my child is now crying and making trouble with a toothache, making our family unable to work." ”
"But isn't it, you said that you are all from a family, why is the second lady so caring, you are so nonsense, fortunately it is sugar that is given, otherwise, I don't know what to do now."
"Yes, yes, my child is really greedy, whoever gives him eats it, and he is not afraid of losing his life." A few people, one sentence from you, one sentence from me, blamed Huang Fuyue, Huang Fuyue didn't expect that it was because of this matter, his face changed instantly, "What do you mean by this, I am busy before and after, contribute money and efforts, and in the end you not only do not appreciate me, but also make trouble for me, do you have a conscience, you are poor, you can't afford sugar, I will help you buy it, help your children satisfy their hunger, you are so kind to your benefactor." ”
"Benefactor, are you joking, didn't you hear what we just said, you went to see the doctor for all the children in our family, why should we be grateful to you. We came to ask you for medical expenses today, and you gave it to us now as soon as possible, otherwise, we won't be early today, and when you give it to us, we will leave. After the woman finished speaking, she sat on the ground, with the posture that if you don't agree, I really won't leave.
Others follow suit, and after a while, Huangfu Mansion will be dominated by these people, where is Huangfu Yue's opponent of these people, she looks tattered on weekdays, but compared to these people, it is not enough to see at all. "Don't deceive people too much, get up and leave here quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." After speaking, he shouted behind him, "Come, drive all these people away for me, and if they don't leave, beat them away for me." If you want to threaten Miss Ben, what are you? ”
An Mingchen saw this scene when he came back from the next court, stepped forward and listened for a while, after listening to the ins and outs of the matter, the corners of his mouth twitched and twitched, he originally thought that the eldest sister had been a lot more low-key recently, but he didn't expect that as soon as he went out, he would make such a big move, the woman was right, fortunately it was sugar today, if it was anything else, he couldn't help if he wanted to.
"Murder, Miss Huangfu is going to kill...... Come on, people......" As soon as the woman saw the little girl, she yelled, and the little girl immediately stopped, and looked at Huang Fuyue in embarrassment, Huang Fuyue was also worried about the big trouble, and when she was at a loss, An Mingchen walked in, "Auntie, I already know the ins and outs of the matter, and the eldest sister is also kind, but she doesn't know how to take care of the child, so she made this oolong, her starting point is good, and please forgive me." As for the medical expenses you mentioned, our Huangfu family is fully responsible, and when the time comes, a few people only need to come over with the prescription to verify with the housekeeper and then take the silver. However, don't take chances, we will have to go to the hospital to check later. ”
When An Mingchen said this, those who wanted to take advantage of it were just about to be careful, but they were exposed by An Mingchen. Those women's faces finally improved when they heard this, they were not unreasonable, if it wasn't for Huang Fuyue's words just now being too mean, they wouldn't have made a fuss at the gate of Huangfu Mansion, An Mingchen is the prime minister, and Huang Fuxue's father-in-law, they believe in their husband and wife, and nodded in agreement after thinking about it.
"Then thank you, everyone go back quickly, and when the affairs at home are dealt with, you will come to the house to ask the housekeeper for money." An Mingchen sent people away, and Huang Fuyue not only didn't appreciate it, but also blamed her for being nosy, "Since the second brother-in-law is so enthusiastic, let's give the money out as well." ”
"Eldest sister, I can pay for this money, just pay for my impulsiveness today, but in other days, no matter what happens to the eldest sister, I will not stand up to help anymore, after all, no one is idle and has nothing to do, and wants to take care of other people's affairs." After speaking, An Mingchen went back to the West Courtyard directly.
Huang Fuyue just said it casually, also because she was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't expect An Mingchen to be so ruthless, and her face changed in an instant, "Don't deceive people too much......
