Gentle wanted to go home that night, but Xiaohuan had never spent the night outside, and suddenly asked her to sleep alone in this strange house, she was afraid, and Gentle had to tell her a few words, entrusting her to the old widow of the landlord next door, and then locked the door and walked back.

At this time, it was completely dark, except for a little dim and unknown light exposed in the paper windows on both sides of the road, only the faint light of the rising moon could be borrowed to defend the way, fortunately this time the gentleness did not get lost, one foot high and one foot low, finally touched back to the home of Ruhua, and when I entered the door, I saw the mother and son sitting at the table eating dinner.

"Sister, you're back! I've been waiting for you for more than an hour, right? As soon as Wen saw her enter the door, he immediately put down his chopsticks and prepared to stand up and serve her food.

"Eat quickly, don't worry about me, I've eaten it and come back." Gently said, put the remaining piece of honey cake on the table, and then looked at the dishes on the table, there was meat and soup, then nodded, while sitting at the table and watching them eat, he thought for a while, and said: "I have found a new place to live, let's move early tomorrow." ”

"Moving?" Wen Gang didn't know anything about this matter, so he was naturally very surprised.

Ruhua Niang was also taken aback and said, "You found the house so quickly?" ”

"Well, the place is quite spacious, so let's move in for a general time." Wen Wen was hesitating how to tell them about Xiaohuan, and they would often meet in the future, but they couldn't hide it, so they hid Xiaohuan's identity as a fugitive slave, and only said that she was an old acquaintance of the Zhao Mansion and a house where she was redeemed, but her mother has suffered now, and she is alone and helpless outside, so she has to live at home for a while.

"Okay!" Wen Gang heard that Xiaohuan was about the same age as him, and he had an extra playmate, and it was too late to be happy.

Ruhua's mother was timid and afraid, knocked on the edge of Wen Gang's bowl with chopsticks, and told him to eat quickly and not to worry about the affairs of adults, and then hesitated for a long time and said: "Other people's affairs, let's not worry about it." ”

Gentle glanced at her lightly, lowered her eyes and said: "As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water, when the spring reciprocates, Xiaohuan's mother took care of me when she was in the house, and now she has an accident, ask me to take care of my daughter, how can I not care?" ”

"So what happened to her? Does it matter? "Ruhua's mother is still not at ease, and wants to ask carefully.

"I can't say a word clearly, mother, you better don't care." Gently pushed the words back, and said cautiously: "It's just that there is one thing I have to tell you in advance, if someone comes to Xiaohuan or asks about her mother, you just have never heard of these two people, and if you don't know, it's over, and I'll deal with other things." ”

Wen Gang nodded again and again when he heard this, and promised: "Sister, don't worry, I have written down this matter, and I will definitely not say it." ”

Ruhua's mother was silent, estimating the seriousness of the situation in her heart, and said uneasily: "Hearing you say this, why am I so panicked in my heart?" Isn't that a big deal? ”

Seeing that she was pestering and asking, Wen Rou simply said the matter to the big one, and it was good to scare her, so that she would not take it seriously and talk nonsense everywhere, so she nodded and said: "It's a big deal, if people know that we are related to them, I'm afraid we will lose our heads." ”

"Ahh Listen to my mother's persuasion, hurry Ming'er to find a place to move, so that they can't find it, but you can't take the lives of our family for the sake of others, not to mention that your brother is still so young......"

"Mother!" The doors and windows were closed, but in order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, Gentle still forced the anger in her heart and lowered her voice, but the tone was unquestionable, she said in a deep voice: "I shouldn't take care of other people's affairs, but Xiaohuan and I are like sisters, and I still have to take care of her affairs if I have spare power!" As long as you keep your mouth shut, others won't know! ”

As she spoke, she stared at Wen Gang's face again and said: "Brother, you remember, we can't be ungrateful, when those who have helped you encounter difficulties, as long as you can, you must always help them, so that in the future, if you fall into trouble, someone will help you!" Of course, you must have a scale in your heart to measure right and wrong, and know which good people should help and which great evildoers cannot help. But this kind of thing can't be explained in a few words, in the future, my sister will send you to study and read, and when you read more books, you will naturally understand these truths. ”

These words are really gentle words in the heart, although on the surface, Xiaohuan and Sister-in-law Liu do not have any great kindness to her, but without them, she will not be able to make money at all, she can't redeem herself, and more importantly, Xiaohuan did not hesitate to give away the friendship when she first saw her.

"Sister, are you going to send me to school?" Wen Gang's eyes could almost glow, and his face turned red with excitement.

"Well, when the days are stable, I will find a good gentleman for you, study more, and have a good way out in the future." No matter what era it is, it's not a bad thing to read more books, I believe that with her by her side, Wen Gang will not become a pedantic nerd.

"You two brothers...... It's really ......" Ruhua's mother was so anxious to die, but she couldn't interject, but when she heard that she was gentle and willing to provide her son to study, she couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart, her current mentality, really couldn't cry or laugh, but she still wanted to persuade her daughter two more sentences, and said seriously: "Rou'er, you ......"

"Mother!" Gentle interrupted her again: "I naturally do things in a measured way, so don't worry about it anymore!" But what I tell you, you must remember it, and you can't confide a word out in death! ”

Wen Gang nodded repeatedly, but looking at the gentle gaze, he was a little puzzled, and felt that his sister had changed a little, and he almost didn't know him. In the past, if there was anything in the family, what my mother said, my sister would do it, and I never had a time to make up my own mind, but the sister in front of me spoke and acted neatly and decisively, and she looked like she had an idea than her mother. Wen Gang suddenly felt that such a change was actually not bad, after all, what his mother said was always a short nagging from the parents, and he didn't like to listen to it, but although he didn't understand what his sister said, he felt more and more profound.

Ruhua's mother looked at her son, and then at her daughter, and suddenly figured it out, it turned out that this family, from the moment her daughter ransomed herself from Zhao Mansion, was no longer in charge! But that's okay, she was originally a woman who didn't have any opinions, and she couldn't even support her son, since now her daughter can earn money, support the family, and provide for her son to study, so let her pick the burden of maintaining this family! I'm already tired, and it's time to rest! Besides, what if you don't listen to her? Have a big quarrel with her, or go around to publicize Xiaohuan's affairs? That's it, in the end, it will only make your own family ruined!

She sighed, and when she saw Gentleness looking at her with inquiring eyes, she nodded and agreed.
