Chapter 41: I Bought the Old Cow
Chapter 41 I bought the old cow
Although stunned, Zhao Runzhi still politely made a "please" gesture and said.
"If Miss doesn't dislike it, I'll take Miss in and sit down and wait."
I used to know that Xia He's family was poor, but I didn't expect that it would be so poor.
Except for the old scalper, who was too old to be old, there was nothing of value.
The tables and chairs were all broken, the smell in the room was not very good, and there was a faint coughing sound.
Zhao Runzhi said.
"Uncle Xia is not in good health, he broke his leg when he went up the mountain to chop wood in his early years, and later he got tuberculosis, and the burden of the family fell on Xia He's sister."
How old is Xia He at this time? Seems to be a little smaller than her.
"Who's coming?"
An old voice came from the back room, Shen Junru followed the sound and looked, a thick curtain cut off the already small room, it should be Xia He's father.
"Ah, it's me, Uncle Xia."
"Runzhi, cough... Ahem, ahem... But Aho is back? ”
"No, Uncle Xia, it's... Ah, I've forgotten what Miss is called. ”
Shen Junru pursed her lips and smiled.
"If the little brother doesn't dislike it, just call me 'Junru'."
Chen Runzhi's face turned red again, and he was a little incoherent and said.
"In, in, Chen, Chen Runzhi... Jun, Miss Junru, wait, wait..."
Tilting his head and blushing, he hurriedly opened the curtain and entered the room inside.
Shen Junru couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
I didn't expect the black-faced prime minister to be so shy when he was young.
Soon, Xia He led a man who looked like an old farmer back, and he was also stunned when he saw Shen Junru and the others.
Shen Junru knew that she had come rashly, but Xia He had been with her for five years, she counted the days, and was afraid that if she found Xia He later, she would be like in her previous life, waiting for her father to die and being cornered, and then going to "sell herself to bury her father".
"You've found other sellers?"
The old farmer was also stunned when he saw Shen Junru, thinking that she was also here to buy this old cow.
This beautiful little girl, what is she doing to buy an old cow in a good manner? Do you have a field at home or do you slaughter it for food?
The old cow is old, and the work in the field can not be done, and there is only one ending, but the general rich and noble people do not like to eat the old cow, because the meat is too hard and easy to stuff between the teeth.
"No, no, no, Bao Chang Chen, I looked for you, I don't know this young lady..."
"Xia He..."
Looking at the immature little girl in front of him, wearing a shabby patched coarse cloth clothes, the eyes that turned red when something happened were still the same as in his memory.
She took a few deep breaths to calm the excitement in her chest, and she was reborn, finally seeing one old person after another.
"This young lady, do you know me?"
Shen Junru thought of an excuse before coming and said.
"Many years ago, I passed through this place, fortunately you helped, gave a bowl of water, only to make me thirsty for a few days to relieve my senses, I think you must not remember, but it is different from me, today I came, to repay the grace of the day."
"I, I really don't remember."
Of course she doesn't remember, how can people remember everything that happened all those years ago? Some people have some things that are destined to be passers-by in their memories, coming and going in a hurry.
And memory is also a strange thing, a vague thing, if you hint a few times, it will be imprinted in your mind, and you will feel that it has indeed happened.
This is also called "psychological suggestion".
And Shen Junru did not say the specific time, nor did he say any more specific details.
"The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring."
"No need for this young lady, even if I did help you that day, it was just a gesture, I understand your kindness, I don't dare I have important things, so I won't talk to Miss much."
She has to quickly sell the old scalper for money to get medicine for Daddy.
Shen Junru saw that she was in a hurry, and she was not busy, so she glanced at Chen Baochang and said.
"I bought this scalper, no matter how much this Chen Baochang offered, I will pay double."
"W-What?"
Xia He was slightly stunned, how did she know that she was going to sell scalpers?
"Xia He, I also grew up watching you, can you be more reliable next time? You've found the seller and you're still coming to me? I'm busy. ”
"I... I..."
Xia He, who was reprimanded, looked stunned, and his black grape-like eyes were full of fear.
"Don't panic, I said I'm here to repay the favor, your father's illness, I will find a doctor to help you treat it, don't sell the old scalper, it's spiritual"
Just now, she saw it crying in front of the cowshed.
Legend has it that the cow only shed tears once in its life, and that was when it knew it was dying.
Presumably, that Chen Baochang bought the old cattle, and he also wanted to sell them to the meat station, and the old cattle would not be able to escape the fate of becoming a plate of food.
"Really, really?"
"Of course it's true, I won't lie to you."
"Little, Miss... I... How can I meet such a living bodhisattva as you... If you can save my father, you are my Xia He's benefactor, thank you, thank you..."
Saying that, Xia He knelt down at her emotionally and kowtowed again and again to thank her.
For a while, Shen Junru had mixed feelings in her heart, put Xia He's two arms, held them weakly, and said.
"Yingxing, you went and invited Dr. Kang from the Rejuvenation Pavilion to come in person, and there is no problem with how much the consultation fee is, and it will be recorded in my Shen Mansion's account."
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
"Hui, Rejuvenation Pavilion? Great, great, Daddy is saved this time, benefactor, benefactor, Miss benefactor, please accept Xia He again. ”
"Don't worship me again, you're going to torment me."
Shen Junru said this, and Xia He stopped kowtowing.
"Miss Junru is really kind-hearted, and she never forgets to repay her kindness, "Little, Miss... I... How can I meet such a living bodhisattva as you... If you can save my father, you are my Xia He's benefactor, thank you, thank you..."
Saying that, Xia He knelt down at her emotionally and kowtowed again and again to thank her.
For a while, Shen Junru had mixed feelings in her heart, put Xia He's two arms, held them weakly, and said.

"Don't worship me again, you're going to torment me."
Shen Junru said this, and Xia He stopped kowtowing.
"Miss Junru is really kind-hearted, and she does not forget to repay her kindness, which shows that she is also a pure person."
