Chapter 48: The Road Is Uneven

Lin Huiru fell asleep with a dream of making a fortune, and it was a new beginning of the day, she yawned and walked into the shop, today Zhao Xing made an appointment with her to come to the door and prepare for her to make the storefront.

There are so many ancient things, at first she would be curious to explore here and there, but after a long time, she was too lazy to join in the fun.

Suddenly, there was a noise in his ears, and he didn't know what was surrounded by people inside and three layers outside, Lin Huiru wanted to bypass it, but stopped after hearing a cry.

It was an extremely delicate female voice, bullying women in broad daylight, and she couldn't sit idly by.

"Hey, borrowed and borrowed..."Lin Huiru walked from the crowd to the innermost, and then saw that this was actually a butcher shop, the owner of this shop was fierce and vicious, and extremely stingy, so she broke off the idea of cooperation.

In the middle of the crowd, not far from her sat a young girl, her clothes were in tatters, and she was sitting on the ground crying fiercely.

"Your hands and feet are not clean at a young age! I don't know what kind of father and mother raised such a child! It's bad luck to open the door early in the morning and encounter this kind of thing!" The butcher shop owner scolded a few words, and without hesitation, he pointed a knife directly at the little girl, "Little slut!" I just baked this meat! Hurry up and lose money to Lao Tzu!"

Lin Huiru was yelled at by the butcher shopkeeper's voice, and couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, looking at this dress, she also knew that it was impossible for this girl to pay for this meat.

"Are you alright?" Lin Huiru couldn't bear to listen to the girl crying, and after noticing that the girl had some broken skin on her hands, he took out a handkerchief from her body and stepped forward to wrap her hands and asked softly.

Although the little girl cried and sobbed, she was able to spare her energy to say intermittently, "Thank you, I... I'm fine..."She got up from the ground with Lin Huiru's support, and her eyes were swollen like bells.

"I... I really didn't steal your meat! Don't wronged me... And I don't have any money..."The little girl clenched Lin Huiru's handkerchief tightly and gritted her teeth to explain.

At this time, Lin Huiru's sensitive ears heard a lot of discussions, "Isn't this girl the one from the widow's family in Tamura?" Just now I looked at this dress like. ”

"Yes, I've seen it too, her house is already surrounded by walls, and the walls are leaking, it's pitiful to look at, how can she have money to buy meat."

"I heard that the widow is now sick and can't get out of bed, tsk, the family has no money and wants to eat meat, what can I do but steal?"

"It's not what's wrong, it's just that this hand and foot are not good, this boss is a ruthless man, last time there was a small meal who picked up a piece of meat that fell on the ground, but he gave him a good beating."

The surrounding discussions made Lin Huiru very uncomfortable to listen to, this is what she is extremely disgusted with in the countryside, ten miles and eight villages, any gossip can be talked about.

Although the poor man must have something to hate, but the figure and aggrieved appearance of the little girl in front of her made her unable to doubt, and she was about to listen to some more useful information, when the butcher shop opened his voice and gave her another stir.

"You didn't steal it?! Little slut, you've been watching here all morning! There's no one else but you!"

This is a little slut, even if others can't get used to it, they don't want to get into trouble, after all, this boss is very fierce, and he doesn't want to ask for trouble if he looks up and doesn't look down.

"Also, the widow is almost a few days away, if she wants to taste the fish, she can only find her daughter to steal meat, those little ones are still so young..."

"Don't say it, the widow's husband is dead and can still give birth to a few little ones, maybe she has that kind of disease, this little one is in bed all day long, maybe she also contracted that kind of disease, let's stay away..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone took a few steps back, and Lin Huiru was the only one who was close to the little girl, and when he heard that she might be sick, the butcher shop owner also took a few steps back, still scolding in his mouth, "Dirty things stay away from Lao Tzu!" Even if you sell your small ones, you have to pay for the meat! If you don't pay compensation, Lao Tzu will burn your broken place and give your mother a ride! Bah! Bad luck is dead!"

Lin Huiru paid attention to the appearance of the little girl, there were no red spots on her body, no scratches, except for being a little thinner, it didn't look like there was anything wrong, it was really a group of ignorant things.

But this action devastated the little girl, and she would have cried and could not speak.

Lin Huiru completely experienced the verbal violence, looked at the butcher shop owner coldly and asked, "How much is the piece of meat that was dropped?"

"What's the matter? I still want to see righteousness and courage. The butcher shop owner didn't show any virtue, but after thinking about it, Lin Huiru would save him a lot of trouble if he could pay the money, so he stretched out two fingers, "I can sell this large piece of meat for two hundred yuan!"

A person who can sell a child to repay the money on his lips, and what kind of good person can he be, Lin Hui took out the money bag, counted out no more than two hundred Wen, and simply threw it directly to the boss, even if she fell on the ground, she didn't have the mentality, "Don't leave virtue on your lips, be careful to close the door." ”

Lin Huiru didn't care about the butcher shopkeeper's scolding, and led the little girl out of the crowd.

In front of the water pavilion in the promenade, the girl cried for a long time before she opened her swollen eyes and thanked Lin Huiru, "Thank you... Thank you sister, but I... I really don't have the money to pay you back now, and when I can work, I'll deliver the money to the door." ”

"No, what they said about your family... But really?" Lin Huiru was a little careful just listening to the group of people talking so badly, this is still a half-old child, and he has suffered so much.

The little girl was wary of thinking that Lin Huiru would be worried about her mother's illness, and hurriedly explained, "No, my mother is sick, but it's just a cold." ”

"If it's just the wind chill, you won't be able to get out of bed?" Lin Huiru was skeptical, she just wanted to hear the truth, so that she could help this child who was a little far away from her.

"Yes, it's just a chill... Because I couldn't get the medicine, my mother had a high fever that didn't go away, so it could be serious... But it's definitely not like that," the little girl explained with a quick wave of her hand.

Lin Huiru nodded, "I know, I still have some silver, you can take it to your mother to see a doctor, I heard that you still have younger brothers and sisters, right?" If you don't have a mother, you must have a hard time, right?"

"No, no, no... I can't take this, I will work by myself to earn enough for my mother's medical expenses, sister, you have already paid me for the meat just now, I can't let you break the bill anymore. The little girl is very sensible and has been shirking, but there is a faint sadness between her eyebrows, how can she save enough.
