"Hey! Don't you curse me like that! Qi Ling hurriedly interrupted him, "Aren't I okay now, besides, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!" Don't be so cowardly! ”

Gu Jinfeng glared at her, "It's better to be careful in everything!" Shopkeeper Duan is probably also worried about this, don't go for the next two days, I'll go and tell Shopkeeper Duan tomorrow. ”

Qi Ling was anxious, "Why don't you let me go, now this shop has just turned around, and I suddenly stopped for two days, isn't it all in vain?" ”

Now everyone is rushing to the spiced duck in the shop, if she is not there, the duck can't handle it, and the diners are not easy to explain!

Gu Jinfeng pressed her shoulder and said earnestly, "Then I'll go with you tomorrow, just Mu Xiu, you go and explain some things, rest at home for two days, and wait until you are sure that there is no problem, and it is not too late to go." ”

"But ......" Qi Ling was still a little hesitant, Gu Jinfeng said seriously, "I don't know the people here, don't think about yourself, but also think about me, okay?" ”

Qi Ling raised her head suddenly, her eyes were full of worry, which made her feel a little remorseful, now it is not that rule of law society, she is just a weak woman, and she has no ability to protect herself... It's really inappropriate.

She gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay, then I'll talk to Shopkeeper Duan on weekdays." ”

Gu Jinfeng showed a smile at this time.

The next morning, Qi Ling got up as soon as the rooster crowed, she was used to this time every day, and when she had just washed her face and was about to make breakfast, there was a knock at the door.

Qi Ling frowned, who would knock on his door early in the morning......

Gu Jinfeng, who was folding the quilt in the house, also heard it, and immediately walked out with a serious face, signaling Qi Ling to stand back, and he went to open the door.

Qi Ling comprehended, turned around and retreated into the house, only leaning out his head and looking cautiously, but he didn't expect that it was Sister Xu, who he hadn't seen for a week.

Gu Jinfeng was also stunned, "Sister Xu? You're ......"

Sister Xu was a little embarrassed, "It's really nagging, I want to ask if Miss Qi is at home?" ”

Qi Ling saw the hesitation on her face and knew that something must be something, and hurriedly walked out, "I'm here, is there something wrong with Sister Xu?" ”

Gu Jinfeng also let her in to talk, and several people sat on the stone chairs in the courtyard to talk.

Sister Xu looked ashamed, "I really have something to do this time, originally my mother-in-law was seriously ill at home, relying on me and Dashi to make money to subsidize the family, plus the rent of this yard was originally enough, but now Dashi ......"

Before the words were finished, he began to cry, Qi Ling couldn't see anyone crying, and hurriedly comforted, "Sister, don't cry, what is going on?" ”

Sister Xu finally relieved herself and told the reason for the matter, since Qi Ling rented this yard, the family's financial crisis has finally eased a little, Dashi is also a prodigal son after this incident, and her mother-in-law began to improve after knowing it.

Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, but I didn't expect that a few days later, Dashi, who was working as a coolie at the dock, accidentally fell directly from the roof of the building and broke a leg.

Qi Ling was also stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Then Brother Da Shi is sent to see a doctor now?" How's it going? ”

Sister Xu's eyes were red, and she muttered, "Naturally, I sent it to see the doctor, but the doctor said that if you want to see it thoroughly, you will need twenty taels of silver!" I... Where am I going to get these twenty taels of silver!! ”

Qi Ling fell silent, with Sister Xu's current family background, it was naturally impossible to come up with so much, and she asked again: "Then ...... you are looking for me now?"

Before the words fell, Sister Xu got up directly and knelt down in front of the two of them, Gu Jinfeng hurriedly got up and wanted to help him up, "Sister Xu, if you have anything to say, get up and say it!" ”

Qi Ling also reacted suddenly at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Yes, if you need my help, just say it, I will definitely help if I can!" ”

Sister Xu knelt on the ground and refused to get up, begging, "I really don't have the face to beg you, now Dashi is dying in pain at home, but I don't have the money to buy medicine... There is only this courtyard left, Miss Qi, this courtyard has cost nearly eighty taels of silver inside and out, and now if you don't dislike it, I can ...... thirty taels."

Hearing this, Qi Ling understood that this eldest sister Xu was preparing to sell the house, and she was also preparing to sell it to herself.

When Qi Ling heard this, she silently calculated in her heart, there were still seven months before Gu Jinfeng's test, and after that, she would not be in Wanshui Town if she didn't want to buy it, it was really not cost-effective.

But looking at Sister Xu's pleading face, Qi Ling couldn't bear it, and forcefully helped her up, and said solemnly, "Sister Xu, I won't buy this yard, my husband came here to prepare for the exam, and I only live for a while, and I still have to go back when the exam is over." ”

"This ...... This ......," Sister Xu looked desperate, "But, I can lend you this money." ”

"Yes... Lend it to me? This time the peak turned around, so that Sister Xu couldn't react,

"yes, after all, it's important to save people." As she spoke, she instructed Gu Jinfeng to go to her bedside to get the silver taels, and she pulled Sister Xu to talk about her request.

"You're working outside now, aren't you? How much money do you make a day these days? ”

Sister Xu was a little embarrassed, "We don't have any craftsmanship as a woman, so we can only help others wash and wash clothes, sew clothes or something, and we really don't make much money......

This was in Qi Ling's arms, and she smiled and said, "I happen to be working as a cook at Shopkeeper Duan now, and there is still a shortage of people there, do you want to go with me?" ”

"Really?" Sister Xu's eyes lit up, but she suddenly felt that she was not acting too obviously, and she was a little ashamed, "I can't do anything... I don't know if people are willing to accept ......"

Qi Ling patted his chest and said, "You will wrap this on me, when the time comes, you take the money and go back first, and then come to me when Brother Dashi is settled, and I will introduce you!" ”

Sister Xu burst into tears with excitement, "I really don't know what to say, Sister Qi, you are really my living bodhisattva!" ”

"Don't say that! I would like to thank you for renting me the house! ”

At this time, Gu Jinfeng also came over with the money, and the heavy money bag was handed over to Sister Xu, and she left after thanking her repeatedly.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Qi Ling sighed, "It's really something that can't be predicted, since you have the ability, you can help." ”

For Qi Ling, these thirty taels are nothing, but for Sister Xu, it is life-saving money.

After breakfast, the two went to the store, and as soon as they arrived at the door of the store, they saw a luxuriously decorated carriage stopped at the door first, and after seeing this carriage, Qi Ling couldn't help but 'chuckle' in his heart.

Wouldn't it really be said by Gu Jinfeng's crow's mouth, this Xu family really came here?

She grabbed Gu Jinfeng and said in a low voice, "Let's go through the back door!" ”

It's been a few days since I've been here to make spiced duck, and Qi Ling has already figured out the inside and outside here, so he naturally knows that there is a small back door at the back of this courtyard.

As soon as the two arrived in the backyard, they saw Xiao Xiang with a sad face who was handling the ducks, and when they raised their hands to wipe their sweat, they saw the two of them by the afterglow, and just wanted to shout, they suddenly remembered the person from the front yard, so they lowered their voices, "Miss Qi, why are you here?" The shopkeeper said that he didn't ask Young Master Duan to inform you that he was here today? ”
