Chapter 120: Winter Wax Moon (3)
"Young Master!" Su Xin looked up aggrievedly, her eyes flashed with tears, "He doesn't want my silver!" ”
Meng Yuyun lowered her head and sighed, touching Su Xin's head, "Put down the silver." ”
Hearing Su Xin call Young Master Meng Yuyun, a trace of surprise crossed the little beggar's eyes, and he quietly watched the interaction between the two, his hands clenched into fists, ready to protect himself at all times.
"It's good to have self-esteem, but you also have to look at the status quo clearly, if you starve to death, what kind of self-esteem is there to talk about!" Meng Yuyun threw down this sentence, took the silver in Su Xin's hand, and gently placed it in front of the little beggar, with no contempt or ridicule in his expression.
She is also a beggar who has been a beggar for a few days, and it is not pleasant to be a beggar who has nothing in the past. This passage was told to her by her father, and during that time, she kept it in mind, barely supporting herself without breaking down.
The little beggar had been sitting quietly, staring at the ingot of silver, and his ears were replaying the words of the man just now.
He lowered his head and touched his deflated stomach, listened to the gurgling sound coming from his stomach, and smiled self-deprecatingly, yes, he was going to starve to death, what kind of self-esteem to talk about!
He stretched out his hand, and his originally white hands were now covered with small wounds.
Trembling and holding the cold silver ingot, the little beggar laughed softly, but there was a determined light in his eyes, he tightened his five fingers and clenched the silver hard.
This is in exchange for dignity.
The door of the Lu family can be described as cold and lonely compared to others, since everyone learned that the murderer was Jiao'er's girl, they avoided the Lu family even more, for fear of implicating themselves.
In the past, the Lu family was also very popular, and there was a son who cared about the yamen being a fast catcher, and there were always some people who came to climb the relationship. When something happens, these people run faster than rabbits.
Meng Yuyun brought some tonics and New Year's goods from the medical workshop, and took Su Xin to visit the old couple together, Tang Nan didn't want to come, after all, he was a member of the Tang family, no matter how unwilling he was, he still went back.
There were also guests at home, and Master stayed at home to entertain them.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he bumped into Lu Shang, who was full of tiredness, he had a bowl full of food in his hand, and when he saw Meng Yuyun coming, he was surprised and a little cramped, "Why are you here?" ”
Meng Yuyun's hand carrying things shook in front of Lu Shang's eyes, and her voice was no longer the same as before, but it was still good, with a little childishness in her brightness, "Come to give you New Year's greetings, where are you going?" ”
"There is a beggar in the alley, looking no older than Su Xin, it's pitiful, I thought about bringing him some food." Lu Shang has been a lot haggard these days, his cheekbones are popping out high, his eyes are sunken, and his eyes are blank.
The thick garments were wide and large on him, like a child stealing the garments of an adult, and hanging loosely on his body.
"Go ahead, I'll meet my aunt and talk to her." Meng Yuyun thought about the arrogance in the bones of the little beggar just now, but she was afraid that she would not accept this bowl of rice.
Lu's mother was extremely enthusiastic when she saw Meng Yuyun, serving tea and holding a fruit plate, which made Meng Yuyun a little unacceptable for a while.
"Is my aunt okay? I was sick a few days ago, so I didn't come to see you. Meng Yuyun asked with concern, and Lu Shang went to deliver the bowl of rice to the little beggar, Lu's father liked Su Xin very much, and pulled her to talk for a while and then went to get the sugar cake for her to eat.
"Alas, much better!" Mother Lu sighed, "Who knew that Jiao'er would play Gu on the two of us, and thank the doctor invited by Gongzi Qin, otherwise we would really die at the hands of that woman!" If you see Qin Gongzi, please help me say thank you. ”
Meng Yuyun smiled and cleverly changed the topic, "Well, auntie, I see that Brother Lu Shang has lost a lot of weight, I brought some things to replenish qi and blood, you can make him a chicken soup to replenish it when the time comes!" ”
"There are a lot of things to do these days, Shang'er has to take care of our two old people, and he is tired of becoming like this! Our family is a sin to find such a demon and monster, and now it's good, I'm all involved in him! This is a hundred miles away, where is there anyone willing to marry our Shang'er......" Lu's mother said, tears appeared in her eyes, and she raised her sleeves to wipe it.
Meng Yuyun was silent and didn't speak, she went to see Su Xin, the little girl was holding candy in her hand, and she was smiling on her face.
"This kid is so cute, if I bought that kid back then, why don't I have to worry about Shang'er at this time!" Lu's mother was annoyed, she was afraid of getting into trouble with the mess in Wanhua's family, so she turned a deaf ear to the fact that Wanhua was sent to the Qinglou.
"Auntie, what do you think of the flowers?" Meng Yuyun asked bluntly.
Lu's mother was a little stunned, but she thought about it carefully before she whispered: "That child is good, it's just ......"
She didn't say the second half of the sentence, and Meng Yuyun could guess that it was roughly the meaning of disliking that Huahua was born in Qinglou.
Meng Yuyun is naturally short-sighted, and when she saw that Lu's mother's family was still suspicious of this change, she was displeased, she gritted her teeth and endured it, so she couldn't help but didn't get up and leave, but the smile on her face faded a little.
Father Lu, who was accompanying Su Xin on the side, was quite disdainful, "If you didn't dislike people, how could you recruit such a disgusting woman back?" Tell me to say, it's good to have that kid, we know the roots! If she wants, let Shang'er take her. ”
"Didn't I think we could find a better one?" Lu's mother also felt aggrieved, and when her husband said this, her face immediately became ugly, and she said with a straight face: "If you really marry her, these neighbors can't talk nonsense?"
"If they want to speak, tell them to go! Our Lu family has become a laughing stock anyway, what are you afraid of? Father Lu said, coughing twice, his face was still a little pale.
Tang Nan wanted to talk to her before, these two old people were not in good health, and they were eroded by Gu worms, and they couldn't recuperate for a while.
"I regard Huahua as my sister, if she marries, I will give her a beautiful scenery, and I will definitely not let your family lose."
Hearing Meng Yuyun's words, the two old men of the Lu family were a little surprised, an innocent young man took a dusty woman as his sister, isn't this a big joke?
It's just that her words made Lu's mother a little moved, she was afraid of raising a bottomless pit back then, so she didn't lend a helping hand to Huahua, but now the situation is different.
The reputation of the Lu family in this area has been stinky, even if Lu Shang is a small and powerful head catcher, no one is willing to marry his daughter to the Lu family.
Two days ago, a matchmaker came to say goodbye, but it was a widow who had a dead husband, and Lu's mother was out of breath, and she drove the woman out with a broom.
