Chen Youyi walked to the lively streets and alleys, ready to spy on the military and see what the characteristics of those thriving restaurants were. She is quite confident in her cooking skills, but she is still a little worried about the eating habits of different cultures.

Even if it is a well-known local characteristic, in another city, it has to be improved to stand on its foot.

After inspecting three or four stores on the spot, Chen Youyi ate a little bit, wandered around the street with her stomach touched, and took a walk to eat.

When she arrived at West Street, she saw a circle of people in front of her, exchanging heads and ears and not knowing what they were discussing, so in order to keep pace with the times, she squeezed forward to join in the fun.

In the middle of the crowd, there was a kneeling woman with a child in her arms and a straw mark on her head.

It's a sell-out.

This is not an uncommon thing, poor families can't get by, and selling themselves as slaves as concubines is a common thing here. Some people directly find people to be intermediaries, and some people don't accept them if they feel that they can't sell them or make money, so they can only sell themselves on the streets.

When Chen Youyi first saw this kind of legal human trafficking, a cold sweat broke out on her back. Living people are marked in front of them and sold as goods, and what is even more terrifying is that the people around them are accustomed to it.

But so what? Apart from trying to protect herself, Chen Youyi has no choice. She could neither rebel against this society and demand the abolition of human trafficking, nor could she act chivalrous and save these people.

Now that she can support herself, that's the biggest problem.

Chen Youyi broke out in a cold sweat for three days, and then when she saw this kind of thing again, she became calm, calm enough to hide the uneasiness and sadness in her heart.

But this time, that panic swept over again, because the person who was kneeling on the ground, with a numb expression and waiting for someone to come and buy it, turned out to be an acquaintance.

"Sister-in-law Lin, why are you?" Chen Youyi shouted and stepped forward to ask.

That's right, the person who sold his body was Chen Youyi's former neighbor, a widowed young woman, and Sister-in-law Lin.

Hearing the familiar voice, Sister-in-law Lin's numb eyes loosened a little, and a little brilliance returned to her, allowing her to recognize the person in front of her.

"Youyi ......" Sister-in-law Lin only called her name in a low voice, her eyes were red, but there were no tears in them, as if in the previous days and nights, all the tears had dried up.

Chen Youyi hurriedly went to help, and let her stand up first: "What happened?" You get up first, let's find a place to talk slowly. ”

In Chen Youyi's impression, Sister-in-law Lin is a timid woman who has never even spoken loudly, but this time, Sister-in-law Lin is very resolute and refuses Chen Youyi's kindness.

"Don't persuade me, I've made up my mind." Sister-in-law Lin subconsciously looked at the child in her arms, her eyes were full of love: "Huzi's illness can't be delayed, I can't help it, as long as someone is willing to pay for Huzi's treatment, I will, be a slave and a maid, be a cow and a horse...... Thank you, Youyi. ”

Chen Youyi followed Sister-in-law Lin's line of sight, only to find that Huzi's little face was flushed, and when she looked closely, she was breathing very quickly, as if she had a fever.

"What the hell is going on?" Chen Youyi stretched out her hand to try it, and was startled by Huzi's body temperature, which was probably going to burn to forty degrees: "You get up first, I'll take you to the doctor!" ”

Sister-in-law Lin trembled, suddenly raised her head, and a glimmer of hope crossed her dry body. But for a moment, it returned to the original state: "I, I don't have the money to pay you back, everything that is valuable at home is what can be done...... You can have this heart, I thank you, you go. ”

A gentle person is valuable, but a person who can't tell the weight of things is easy to get angry.

"Sister-in-law Lin, don't be polite to me, you don't have to pay back this money!" Chen Youyi hurriedly said: "Let's not say that you sold yourself, will the person who buys you be good to you and Huzi in the future." Let's just say that now, Huzi has become so sick, when are you going to wait? In case I haven't bought you in the past few days, can you wait, can Huzi wait? ”

Sister-in-law Lin hugged Huzi tightly, and looked down at Huzi's appearance, which had already fallen asleep and looked depressed.

"This ......" she is neither left nor right, she is panicked and heartbroken, and the whole person is shrunk into a ball, just holding the child and crying.

Many of the onlookers were women, and most of them were not in a good situation, and when they saw this situation, they had been sympathetic just now, and when they saw that someone was willing to help, they all persuaded one after another.

"You mother, don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children! There are well-wishers who are willing to treat your child, but you don't go quickly, it's not good for the child if it drags on for a long time! ”

"Yes, it's better to go to the treatment first, what's the matter, let's talk about it later!"

Chen Youyi took advantage of the hesitation of Sister-in-law Lin's persuasion, and quickly pulled the person up and went to the hospital first.

"This kid is burned like this, how did you bring people?" When he arrived at the medical hall, the doctor only glanced at it, and then he was angry, and he scolded the person with his head and face, and Sister-in-law Lin kept shrinking into tears, so she could only listen to the training with Chen Youyi nodding and bowing.

"Yes, yes, you're right!" Chen Youyi was also anxious, and circled around the doctor: "Is this kid okay?" Doctor, you have a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, you must save him, he is still so young! I'll send you a pennant when I turn around, no, send a plaque! ”

The doctor thought she was too noisy, so he asked the guy to take the family to the side and wait, see Huzi, feed him medicine, and toss for more than half an hour, Huzi's fever has not subsided, but he seems to be sleeping a little more peacefully.

"Take this medicine back, twice a day, and by night he will have a fever." The doctor shook his head and sighed: "At first, it was just an ordinary wind chill, but it dragged on for too long, causing phlegm and asthma in the lungs, and if it was a little later, it would become tuberculosis!" ”

Chen Youyi doesn't quite understand what pulmonary wind, phlegm and asthma are, it is about pneumonia. This disease has been cured with a high probability in modern times, but in Dachen, it is still a relatively dangerous disease.

As for Sister-in-law Lin, she was so frightened by the tuberculosis that the doctor said that she lost her soul, and she didn't dare to speak while holding Huzi.

"Bring them back first, and come back early tomorrow morning." After a few words of advice, the doctor went to work with the other patients and asked the man to send them out.

Chen Youyi paid for the medicine, which is really a lot of money. It also determined her to exercise more and try not to get sick. In such a backward medical environment, getting sick not only costs money, but also kills.

"Thank you, thank you!" Sister-in-law Lin couldn't say anything other than thank you. She hugged the tiger child, and there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes, but in an instant, she was full of anxiety and despair.

Huzi's illness will not get better for a while, and she doesn't know what to take tomorrow to pay for the consultation.

Alas. Chen Youyi sighed in her heart, she encountered this matter, and she couldn't die without help.

"Sister-in-law, what are you going to do in the future?"

The family is surrounded by four walls, even the children are almost unable to live, and there is no stable job, it is not easy to support the family, how should I live this life?
