Chapter 64: Help
Chapter 64 Help
"Please, uncles, aunts... Old men and ladies..."
"Ask for a few money....."
"Please, help, save my brother...."
"Please, help, save my brother...."
Gu Bainiang closed her eyes, and her face couldn't tell whether it was tears or snow.
"Eighteen mothers?" Gu Hai jumped out of the car with her and looked at her worriedly.
The road was in a hurry, and no one stopped for a moment in the little girl's crying, and at most cast a sympathetic glance at pity.
That boy was injured, obviously causing some trouble, in this world, the war in the north is hidden from time to time, the emperor in the capital is sick from time to time, the court is unstable, and the people are uneasy, who dares to meddle with other people's affairs.
"Little girl, what's wrong with you?" Gu Haiyi gritted his teeth and stepped forward to ask.
When the little girl heard this, she was like grasping the straw for survival, and kowtowed to Gu Hai.
"Young Master, Young Master, you have great mercy to save my brother...", she cried.
Gu Hai was a little flustered by her kowtowing, turned around and looked at Gu Banniang with some embarrassment, took out a few copper coins from his sleeve ruthlessly, and handed them to the little girl.
"Giving. To give... You," he said with a slight stammer.
This was the first money the little girl had begged for, and with tears streaming down her eyes, she stretched out her little hand that was red from the cold to take the money.
"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master.," she cried.
Gu Hai breathed a sigh of relief, so my sister felt better, right? There were many words without mistakes, and he looked back, but saw Gu Bainiang walking over.
Seeing these two young men and girls dressed in filial piety stopping for a beggar, passers-by looked at them curiously, pouting and mocking and a little grateful.
"What's wrong with your brother?"
The little girl's eyes were hazy with tears, and she suddenly heard a soft female voice above her head ask, and she shook her hands to wipe a handful of tears to see the face of the kind-hearted person.
A pair of hands had reached over and gently lifted the half of the gown she had put over her brother's face to prevent frostbite from the rain and snow.
Palm prints, fist prints, red and swollen sauce purple, I can't see the original touch, the tentacles are cold, I don't know if there is any life.
"I was beaten too....." Gu Bainiang muttered.
Tears fell on the boy's face, and soon mingled with the snow, and no one noticed, and the boy's swollen eyes moved.
"It's some silver, go find the doctor." Gu Banniang stood up, took out all the money on her body, and handed it to the little girl.
The broken silver was piled up together, and a rough calculation was at least five taels.
The little girl could hardly believe her eyes, so she stared at her eyes and mouth wide and froze in place, forgetting to even kowtow and thank you.
Gu Hai was also stunned, looking at his sister with a look in his eyes that couldn't hide his surprise, so ..... so generous.
Now I bought a little girl, and it's only three or four taels of silver.
Gu Bainiang had already turned around and got into the car, seeing that Gu Hai was still standing still, she raised her hand to greet him.
"Sister... It's very rich." Sitting in the car, Gu Hai sighed meaningfully, stretched out his hand, pretending to be pitiful, "Poor brother, I don't have a penny on me, my sister will reward you..."
Because of the feeling in front of her, Gu Bainiang, who had been in the same situation, laughed when she heard the words, and only the slightly red circles of her eyes remained.
"We're going to be richer in the future." She said with a little coquettishness and a little firmness, "My sister must be brother, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you won't again..."
"Won't it be?" Gu Hai smiled, reaching out and pointing out, "It won't be like that..."
"No," Gu Bainiang raised her voice.
Gu Hai was just joking, wanting to dispel his sister's sadness, but he didn't expect her reaction to be so big, he was startled, and hurriedly nodded along with her words, even claiming that it was, no, no.
Definitely not like this again, kneeling on the side of the road begging for help, watching her brother die will never Gu Banniang bit her lower lip tightly.
"Thank you, thank you, benefactor.." The sound of a little girl crying could be heard outside the carriage that was drifting away.
Gu Bainiang glanced slightly through the car window, and in the flying snowflakes, the figure of the little girl kneeling and kowtowing soon disappeared.
If someone had reached out to help him at this time in that life, the endangered brother wouldn't have died so quickly, right? There are many mistakes, and her fate should be a different story, right? No mistakes in many words
If no one is helping you, then help yourself.
In the evening, Cao returned.
"Mother, what is the eldest aunt looking for you? Have you eaten? Gu Hai walked out of the room, couldn't put down the book in his hand, and asked hurriedly.
A little embarrassment appeared on Cao's face, and she forced out a smile, "I've eaten." β
didn't answer Gu Hai's question, and asked a few more questions about what they had eaten, and then entered the house in a trance.
Gu Hai looked at Cao's house with some doubts, and turned his head to see Gu Bainiang on the opposite side standing at the door, still holding a book in his hand.
"Mother is back?" She asked, striding over.
"Eighteen mothers... Gu Hai made a silent gesture at her, "Mother is tired, let her rest early... β
Are you afraid that she will ask about today's events? There are a lot of words, it seems that the answer is written on the mother's face.
Gu Banniang smiled and stopped.
Gu Hai breathed a sigh of relief, somehow, he felt that although his sister still didn't like to talk much, she sometimes said something very aggressively.
He also guessed that the eldest aunt must have said something about their house and shop when she called her mother away today, and it seemed that the result was not satisfactory.
No one wants to send someone to live under the fence, and my mother is no exception, this result must have been very uncomfortable in my heart, if my sister asks again at this time, and my sister is so looking forward to having her own house if she is disappointedγγγγγ
Gu Hai sighed, and at the same time clenched his fists, he must get aheadγγγγγγ
"Brother, you go to bed early, and you're going to school in a few days... Gu Banniang said, standing in the shadow of the lamp and smiling quietly.
"Yes, I know, you go to bed early, don't read books for so long... Gu Hai smiled and waved his hand into the house.
The night was dark, and the three lights in the small courtyard had not been extinguished for a long time.
The mist of the early winter morning had not yet dissipated, and the housekeeper with the hat led the Cao mother and daughter into the patriarch's house.
Cao Shi looked back at his daughter who was following him again, and sighed helplessly.
"Eighteen Niang, you go back, you go along, what do you look like..."She persuaded again.
"Nope." Gu Bainiang shook her head firmly, looked at Cao's and smiled lightly, "Mother, there are many people today, don't be afraid, I'll be your companion." β
Cao sighed, I feel scared because you are with me....
Early this morning, she felt unsettled, and the hint she heard yesterday made her heart even heavier.
Although the location of the house allocated to them by the patriarch is a little remote, it is definitely a good place, the layout is elegant, the place is not big or small, and some people are reluctant to fall into their hands in vain like this.
The Cao family is not a stupid woman, and she understands the thoughts of Gu Leshan's family.
Guo repeatedly told her in the car that there are many children in the family, and the old two families are about to give birth to Yunyun again, not idle grinding their teeth.
She knew that although the matter of the house had not been officially said, she was afraid that she would not have anything to do with them.
The children were looking forward to it, but it turned out to be γγγγγγ
How should she tell the children, Cao's eyes couldn't help but redden, and he lowered his head to hide it.
The daughter is so smart, she must have guessed something, otherwise she would not have seen the words of the patriarch of the housekeeper to invite her to go, so she had to follow.
Thinking of this, she felt the need to tell her daughter, and now she is becoming more and more unable to see through this daughter.
"Eighteen Niang, don't talk nonsense when the time comes.. Listen to the mother, listen to the patriarch... She took a few deep breaths and bit her lower lip, "Eighteen Niang, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads....take a step back and open the sky.... Don't be too obsessed with some things. β
I can't and can't tear my face with my uncle's family.
Without the support of the family, her son's future road will be very difficult, and the reason why she is so forbearant and begging to retreat step by step is not to anger the people in the clan, and to ask for a place of protection under the wing.
Gu Bainiang knew this truth, and she had always believed in it, but what if she knew that taking a step back was an abyss?
