Chapter 52: Refusing Ye Tiantian's help
Ling'er was overjoyed that Ye Tiantian handed her the purse, compared to the man with a shiny face, Ling'er also wanted to follow this sister, at least she wouldn't feel disgusted, feeling that the purse was heavy, Ling'er felt that she had hope, and gently opened the purse.
Looking at the silver inside, Ling'er was stunned, she had never seen so much money, it was twenty taels of silver, not to mention burying her mother, her second half of her life might be enough.
But Ling'er also knew that she was deserving of this money, of course she would not be willing to take so much, she returned her purse to Ye Tiantian and was about to speak but was interrupted by the man next to her.
It turned out that the man thought that the little girl returned the purse because there was not enough money in it, so he said in a mocking tone: "Little sister, if you don't have money, don't slap your swollen face and become fat, you better go with your brother, my brother promises to be good to you." ”
Looking at the man's disgusting appearance, Ye Tiantian almost didn't vomit out the breakfast he had just eaten, why can this man be so disgusting, he is simply the most disgusting person he has ever seen in the first half of his life.
Ling'er saw that this man had misunderstood the sister beside him, and hurriedly said, "No, big brother, there is too much money in it, Ling'er can't afford it, and if you want this sister to take a little bit, it's okay." ”
The greasy man's face was lost because of Ling'er's words, and he walked into the crowd of onlookers and left quietly, Ye Tiantian helped Ling'er pack up the things he sold, and was going to take her to the place where he was eating, and ask what happened, the situation just now was too complicated, and it was not easy for him to ask.
Some people praised Ye Tiantian's righteous behavior, some people muttered that Ye Tiantian had no money and wanted to pretend to be a big money, and some people speculated that this was a scene, and Ye Tiantian and Ling'er were trying to defraud others of their money.
But Ye Tiantian didn't care at all, packed up Ling'er's things, and took her to the Red Sleeve Pavilion, he just went to Yifengju to ask for money, and he was embarrassed to go again for a while, so he could only choose the Red Sleeve Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the door, Ye Tiantian still walked in the direction where he sat every time, fortunately there was still no one there, Ye Tiantian called Xiao Er to order a few dishes casually after settling down Ling'er.
After Xiao Er memorized the menu, Ye Tiantian hurriedly began to ask Ling'er about the situation, how could so many things happen in a short period of time.
"Ling'er, what's your last name?
"My surname is Zhang, I take my mother's surname, and I haven't seen my father since I was born."
"Hmm...... I'm sorry. ”
"It's okay sister, it's all over, I've already walked out."
"How could Aunt Zhang... So suddenly, where do you live now, and how much does it cost to bury your aunt? ”
"I don't know... I didn't know what was going on, and I heard from the villagers that it would cost at least five dollars to bury an old man. ”
Hearing that Zhang Ling'er was going to buy herself for five coins of silver, Ye Tiantian laughed angrily, is this little girl missing a string in her head, why is she so honest and cute.
Zhang Linger thought that Ye Tiantian was laughing at his naivety and wanted to sell himself for so much money, but he couldn't help it, his mother's burial was all borrowed by the villagers, and he couldn't pay it back for a while, so he could only think of such a way, Zhang Linger also felt stupid, but there was no way, so he could only give it a go.
After a while, the dishes came up, Ye Tiantian asked Zhang Ling'er to eat what he wanted, although Ling'er was very embarrassed, but he really hadn't eaten for a long time, so he didn't have anything to do with Ye Tiantian, after all, Ye Tiantian also saved himself, and he would be her maid in the future, and when he was full, he had the strength to work for her.
Seeing Zhang Ling'er eating so much, Ye Tiantian felt a little sorry for her, it seems that Zhang Ling'er and her sister are about the same age, and this girl's life must be difficult after Aunt Zhang's death.
Ye Tiantian kept smiling and watching Zhang Ling'er eat, and he was very happy to see her eating, but he was still worried about her future life, looked at Zhang Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, have you thought about what to do in the future." ”
Thinking that Ye Tiantian thought that he ate too much and didn't want to be her maid, he almost cried out in a hurry, and hurriedly put down his chopsticks and said, "Sister, I don't usually eat much, don't leave me." I'm very quick at work. ”
didn't understand why Zhang Ling'er said this, Ye Tiantian still wanted to comfort her in time, and said softly with a smile: "I don't think you eat too much, and I won't leave you, but you still have to live by yourself in the future." ”
Zhang Ling'er was aggrieved and almost cried, lowered her head and didn't want Ye Tiantian to see it, choked up and said: "Sister Tiantian, don't you want me to be a maid, I can not only cook but also farm, I really can." ”
Servant girl? Ye Tiantian was confused all of a sudden, why should he be his own maid? Guessing that Zhang Ling'er might have misunderstood the meaning of giving money, Ye Tiantian chuckled and said: "Ling'er, I gave you money to bury Aunt Zhang, not to let you be a maid for me, don't worry, you can still live your own life in the future." ”
Zhang Linger was not as relieved as Ye Tiantian thought, but buried her head deeper, and tears fell on the table with a click, which made Ye Tiantian anxious, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Ye Tiantian didn't know that in Zhang Ling'er's heart, what he just said was to perfunctory her, and he thought that he was just poking at the pain point of his mother's death, so he didn't dare to speak again for a while.
"Sister Tian Tian, you take the money back, I don't want this money anymore, my mother has taught me not to take other people's things for nothing since I was a child, and I can't let my mother go uneasy." Zhang Linger said with great determination.
"Ling'er, why did you give me back the money? You run out of money. What should Aunt Zhang do? Do you want to sell yourself again? Ye Tiantian asked Zhang Ling'er suspiciously, he really didn't understand why Zhang Ling'er was unwilling to accept his money.
At the beginning, it was obvious that Zhang Ling'er was very happy, why did he suddenly do this, what did he say that made Zhang Ling'er misunderstood, Ye Tiantian was puzzled.
But she definitely can't let Zhang Ling'er sell her body again, this little girl is too simple and kind, she can't watch her jump into the fire pit, Ye Tiantian wants to figure out what's wrong.
Ye Tiantian asked cautiously: "Ling'er, why are you unwilling to accept this money, is there any difference between me helping you and others giving you money?" ”
Hearing Ye Tiantian's question, Zhang Linger raised her head and said with teary eyes: "Sister Tiantian, don't you dislike me?" ”
