Chapter 107: Frightened
Chapter 107: Frightened
"......," the middle-aged man argued, "We wouldn't ask Mr. Zong like this." β
Others also said, "Yes! We won't be like that! β
Shen Lexi: "Sneerββ! β
She looked around at the villagers and said unceremoniously: "You didn't say that you want Mr. Zong to help you all the time, but your behavior of opening the door of your house and running towards the porridge shack as soon as you arrive at the meal, your stomach waiting to be fed, your grateful eyes, and your desire for food, they will all convey your wishes to Mr. Zong on your behalf." β
ββ¦β¦β
Everyone was at a loss, they didn't know how to understand Shen Lexi's words at first, but they understood it smartly, and whispered to the people next to them: "She seems to be saying that we are forcing Mr. Zong to help us." β
ββ¦β¦β
The crowd was silent.
It exploded again.
"You talk nonsense! Mr. Zong is a good person! He did it voluntarily! β
"That's right! We didn't force Mr. Zong! β
"You don't talk nonsense here!"
"Get out of our village!"
"Get out!"
The villagers whose self-esteem was seriously injured were angry, and they all roared with red faces and thick necks, and in the chaos, I don't know who took the lead in smashing a snow ball on Shen Lexi's body, so more snow balls flew towards her.
Shen Lexi was hit several times, not to mention the red hearts that were protecting her in front of her, and her temples and shoulders were full of broken snow.
But the snow group's offensive became more and more intense.
But Shen Lexi couldn't really fight back, so she was helpless, she glared fiercely at the little brother Jingbai.
Little Brother Bai didn't expect things to get to this point, and he was a little flustered under self-blame, and he instinctively threw a look at Zong Li for help.
Zong Li got up, and was about to tell everyone to calm down and not hit anyone, when Shen Lexi suddenly pulled the red heart and hid behind him with a swish.
And pushed him against his back and pushed him in front of the man.
Zong Li, who was kind enough to save people, was pushed out as a shield: "............"
"Don't smash it! Be careful of smashing Mr. Zong! β
Someone roared.
The surging snow regiment offensive was instantly closed, followed by angry accusations-
"You woman is too shameless! actually used Mr. Zong as a shield! β
"You have the ability to come out!"
"That's right! You come out! β
"I'm not coming out!" Shen Lexi hid behind Mr. Zong and shouted, "There are so many of you, bullying me as a weak woman, you are embarrassed to say that I am shameless, I think you should be the one who is shameless." β
He also said: "You didn't force Mr. Zong to help you all the time, but you have been kidnapping Mr. Zong morally, because Mr. Zong is a kind person!" β
"His kindness does not allow him to ignore you, he is willing to do everything he can to help you, but have you ever settled the account for Mr. Zong?"
"Let's not talk about the future, let's take the past nine days as an example, there are a total of 257 households in your village, with a long-term population of 768 people, and I will calculate the amount of one bowl of porridge and two buns per person per day, so how much does each person need to spend per day? How much do the seven hundred and sixty-eight people need to spend every day? That's it, and I haven't counted the money for the medicinal materials that Mr. Zong gave you. β
"Medicinal herbs are much more expensive than rice porridge buns."
"Let's just say that the aunt who was deficient in qi and blood just now, Mr. Zong prescribed ten pairs of medicines to replenish qi and blood for her just now, and I don't know the price of other medicinal materials, so I said ginseng, ginseng is an expensive guy, and the price of a small beard with thin roots is a few taels of silver, not to mention that Mr. Zong gave the aunt ginseng slices, which are even more expensive. I just counted, there are five or six tablets of ginseng in each medicine, so how much does this medicine cost? At least twenty-two to start! β
ββ¦β¦β
A pair of medicine twenty taels of silver!
Ten pairs of medicine will cost two hundred taels of silver!!
This is just one person's medicine, and in the past nine days, all the people who came to Mr. Zong to see a doctor and get medicine add up, I'm afraid there must be two or three hundred people!!
The people in the village are poor, and they usually can't eat, so how can they have spare money to go to the doctor and buy medicine, so it is easy to come to Mr. Zong, a good doctor who treats them for free and gives them free medicine, and they all rush over.
But no one thought about how much Mr. Zong would have to put in for this.
Now that Shen Lexi has dug up this account and calculated it for everyone, everyone was shocked and silent.
Seeing that the crowd was quiet, Shen Lexi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She hid behind Zong Li and dragged the corner of his robe, poked out half of her snow-white little face, peeked at the crowd, and saw that everyone had calmed down, so she boldly poked out the other half of her face.
It's just that the corners of the robe in his hand still haven't been loosened, and he is ready to hide behind Zong Li to take refuge when he sees that the situation is not good.
Zong Li lowered his head and glanced at the corner of the robe that was tightly held by Shen Lexi, his eyes flashed slightly, and he unexpectedly did not push the person away.
He looked sideways slightly and looked at Shen Lexi.
Seeing Shen Lexi coughing lightly, he said in an aggravated tone: "That's why I said that Mr. Zong is not right to do this, because Mr. Zong is just a doctor, and he is also a good doctor who often does not charge for medical treatment, and often pays for medicinal materials for free, he is not a wealthy family, and he does not have a lot of money." β
Speaking of this, Shen Lexi turned his head to look at Zong Li: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." Instead of doing his best to help them, Mr. Zong should think about how to pull them out of the quagmire of poverty. Mr. Zong, do you think this is the reason? β
Zong Li looked at her, a touch of stunned first appeared in his light brown glass eyes, and then he was thoughtful, and then there was a starlight rippling, and a pair of eyes became brighter and brighter...... It was like a bright galaxy in his eyes.
Her handsome face flushed with excitement.
He couldn't hide his excitement and said, "You...... But there is a way?? β
"yes, I have a solution." Shen Lexi nodded with a smile.
"......" Zong Li looked at her and didn't speak for a long time, as if thinking about the credibility of her words.
Just when Shen Lexi thought that he didn't believe her, the other party suddenly arched his hands and gave her a solemn salute.
Shen Lexi is right, with his current financial resources, he really can't support it for long.
And it is indeed better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.
If Shen Lexi can really lead the villagers out of the quagmire of poverty as she said, he will leave the sect and not mind crossing the bottom line, getting involved in a wealthy infighting for her, and helping her save the life of the prince of Dingguo.
A Shen Lexi who couldn't help but sneak a peek into the other party's inner world: "......" shamefully withdrew his snooping gaze.
In order for the suffering people to have enough to eat, the Immortal Venerable willingly lowered his noble head, but she was still secretly calculating there, waiting for the opportunity to propose a few quid pro quo conditions to the Immortal Venerable......
Selfish!
Narrow-minded!
She's such a selfish and narrow-minded mean...... Woman!
Shen Lexi was ashamed, at this moment-
"Sister Xi'er, don't be afraid! We're here to save you!! β
