Chapter 215: Amber
Ye Xiaoying left him for dinner, and Chen Cheng said that there were still things to deal with in the restaurant, so he politely refused her. She didn't force it either. Chen Cheng is now more down-to-earth, which makes Ye Xiaoying very pleased.
When Li Tiezhu returned in the evening, he did not unload the ox cart first, but beckoned to the cart, "Come down." Ye Xiaoying looked over curiously, and in the hazy night, there was a small figure curled up.
Under Li Tiezhu's call, he got up in fear. When she jumped down, Ye Xiaoying found that it was a little girl, but she was twelve or thirteen years old, with her hair messy like unkempt grass and dirty clothes.
"Who is she?" Ye Xiaoying asked curiously.
The little girl opened her clear eyes and spoke clearly, "Madam, the slave maid is called Amber, and she was bought by the master. ”
Li Tiezhu made a straight face, "What kind of lady and master, we don't want to call it that." At that time, he said that you would come here to work, and we would pay you. Alright, get in there and wash up. ”
Li Tiezhu pushed her in, and saw that Ye Xiaoying was still surprised, so he smiled and said:
"Lady, didn't you muttered a few days ago that you wanted to ask someone to help? I saw Amber begging in the county, and when I heard that my family was in trouble, I had to live on the streets, and I saw that she was pitiful, so I brought her back. ”
So that's the case, Ye Xiaoying first found a few small clothes, and now she is not a few years older than Amber, so the clothes will be worn first, and then they will be cut for her tomorrow.
Her hair was as soft as a cloud, and when Ye Xiaoying combed her, she asked, Amber flickered, just saying that the family's land was taken away, and her parents fell ill one after another in a fit of anger, and the family was in trouble.
After only half a year, they died, and Amber gradually lost her support, and even her house was taken away, and she had to live on the streets.
When it came to the back, Amber choked up, Ye Xiaoying patted her on the back and persuaded: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, and those bad people will have retribution." ”
Seeing that it was not early, she fell asleep.
After closing the door, Li Tiezhu was waiting outside.
"Lady, didn't you say it would open tomorrow? How did I move everything out today? Ye Xiaoying briefly told him what Chen Cheng had brought here.
Li Tiezhu looked pleasantly surprised, "It's not in vain our previous hard work." Amber seems to know a few words, so let her help with the medicine. I'm still looking after the rabbits. ”
Ye Xiaoying nodded, she was a little worried about not being able to find manpower, but now it seems that everything is perfect.
Amber is diligent and has a sweet mouth, and even if the patients who come to her are angry because of her illness, it is difficult to get angry at her smiling face.
The number of people who came to see the doctor was increasing day by day, and Chen Cheng worked hard to publicize that he went to Ye Xiaoying's pharmacy for a discount, and in a short period of time, he immediately became famous.
In addition, Ye Xiaoying's medical treatment was accurate, and after a few pairs of medicines, the illness went to eight or nine times out of ten, the price was fair, and the person was approachable. These have made Ye Xiaoying's pharmacy famous.
"Sister Ye, the forsythia is running out, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry, I'll go to another pharmacy on the street to buy some and come back for backup."
Amber counted the medicinal herbs, Ye Xiaoying asked her to take some silver for herself, and after a few words, she jumped out. Ye Xiaoying shook her head inside, she has been too busy lately, staying in the pharmacy every day, and it is really embarrassing for a little girl to be like this.
When I arrived in the courtyard, I suddenly saw a small figure rushing back, and after quickly closing the door, the little face turned pale. Could it be that you are afraid to meet wild dogs?
Ye Xiaoying stepped forward again and again, but before she reached the door, there was already a bang on the door outside.
"Open the door, open the door!" Amber was so frightened that she was about to cry, and when she saw Ye Xiaoying, she hurriedly hid behind her. Ye Xiaoying felt her body tremble and pointed inside to let her in.
Amber sprinted towards the pharmacy.
It was Shi Yukuan who came. After he came in, he ignored Ye Xiaoying, but followed the smell of medicine to the pharmacy. When I got to the door, I didn't go in, with a cold face, "You actually came here to open a pharmacy?" ”
Ye Xiaoying looked weird and asked him, "Why can't I?" ”
Shi Yukuan's expression became even more ugly, and he glared at her angrily, "Why do you want others to know that you can practice medicine?" ”
"I would, this is my old job, you don't know." Ye Xiaoying looked at Shi Yukuan's complexion, and compared to seeing each other, she seemed to be a lot weaker.
She wanted to warn, but seeing his angry look, she swallowed the words.
"I don't care, you close it as soon as possible."
"Why?" Ye Xiaoying was extremely surprised, "I opened in my own house, and I didn't get in the way?" "Why did he say that it would be closed?
Shi Yukuan's face darkened, and he snorted, "You closed it early, I can return the document signed by Li Tiezhu to you, otherwise, we will see the official." ”
He knew about it and used it to threaten him. Ye Xiaoying was extremely annoyed. When the other party wanted to leave, suddenly Amber rushed out of it and slammed into Shi Yukuan.
Ye Xiaoying stretched out her hand but didn't hold it, so that Shi Yukuan staggered and almost fell. Amber was thin and weak, and Shi Yukuan's face was even more ugly, and the subordinates lifted her as soon as they stretched out their hands.
Amber struggled incessantly, using both hands and feet, but she was a child after all.
"You scoundrel, let me go!" Shi Yukuan stepped forward and stared at Amber's face, Ye Xiaoying was anxious, she hurriedly stepped forward to pull Amber down, but the other party refused to let go at first. Ye Xiaoying was angry and stepped on his instep hard.
As soon as the subordinate let go of his hand in pain, Amber slipped down, and hurriedly hid behind Ye Xiaoying.
Shi Yukuan wanted to pull her out, "She's just a little girl, do you want to bully her too?" ”
"Humph!" Shi Yukuan snorted from his nostrils, "I'll give you three days to throw out all these medicinal herbs!" With that, he glared back at them.
Amber hid deeper, her little hand tightly grasping Ye Xiaoying's sleeve, her eyes full of hatred.
After they left, Ye Xiaoying turned around and held her hand, Amber was still trembling, holding the warm water that Ye Xiaoying poured for her. After calming down, he slowly knelt down, "Sister Ye, I didn't mean to. I ......"
She couldn't go on.
"He's the one who hurt your family?" Amber looked up in surprise, and she nodded, her eyes lit with hatred.
"A year ago, he came to my house, he took a fancy to our land and wanted to buy all of it, but his parents wouldn't let him, so they joined forces with the official family to take it. found a mistake and beat his father, and his father had a good face, and he couldn't swallow this breath and fell ill. ”
This is how his money came from, and he really knows his face but does not know his heart. I thought he was a gentle person, but after Zhou Lan came, he completely changed. Or is it his nature?
