Chapter 392: Daisy
Anna glared at Adonis and Leigh angrily, and said seriously: "There is nothing wrong with helping others, but you must also do what you can, just like now, all your money has been given to others, what are you going to do now? You can't even pay for the car and have to beg others." ”
Adonis didn't refute, humbly accepted Anna's preaching, and then glared at Elena fiercely, Elena also knew that she was wrong, but she wouldn't admit her mistake like Adonis, she turned her head and ignored Adonis's eyes, so angry that Adinis gritted her teeth.
When Becky ran to the corner of the street out of breath, Elena and the others had already disappeared, and Becky returned home dejectedly, shook her head in the expectant gaze of her sister Sophia and said, "I didn't catch it, I guess I left in a car." ”
Sophia said anxiously, "What should I do then?"
Betsy hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay, when grandpa's illness is cured, let's go out and inquire, you also heard just now, the eldest brother named Adonis and Elena's sister are from our Ulla City, I believe we can find them." ”
Sophia smiled when she heard this, nodded again and again, and said, "Well, I will definitely find them, they are really good people." By the way, brother, can I open the money bag and take a look? It's so heavy, there must be a lot of money in it, right?"
Becky was also curious, nodded and said, "Well, let's see, I estimate that there are at least five gold coins in it." ”
Sophia covered her mouth and said with a shocked face: "Five gold coins, so much money, brother, can we afford it in the future?"
Betge nodded heavily and said, "Absolutely." As he spoke, he opened the first money bag, which was the one given by Leigh.
When a large pile of glittering gold coins appears in front of you. Becky and Sophia were stunned. The two little ones could not have imagined that there were no copper coins or silver coins in Leigh's money bag. And it's all gold.
Sophia picked up a gold coin, looked at it in front of her for a long time, looked up and asked, "Brother, is this a gold coin?"
Becky was also unsure, shook his head and said, "I don't know, probably not." In Becky's mind, a few gold coins for himself was already very much, and he never thought of getting a few hundred gold coins at once, so he subconsciously thought. These glittering things that I haven't seen before, I should say some kind of copper coin or something.
Sophia then opened Elena and Adonis's purses, and saw that they were all glittering coins, and she was even more sure that they could not be gold coins. Sophia and Betsy carefully counted them, found a small strip of cloth, and recorded the number of three piles of coins on it with charred charcoal, ready to return them to Adonis.
The strip of cloth reads crookedly: 200 coins for the healing brother, 361 coins for the beautiful sister, 480 coins for the scoundrel brother, and finally the date is indicated.
It didn't take long. Becky and Sophia's mother, Daisy, dragged her tired body home and stood at the gate of the small courtyard. Looking at the faint candlelight lit by the window of the grass house, her heart became heavier and heavier, because today, she was fired, carrying the only three copper coins in her arms, Daisy wanted to cry, but she didn't want the child to see it, so she had to silently wipe away her tears and walk into this shabby but warm home with a reluctant smile.
When Becky and Sophia saw that their mother was back, they rushed over and threw themselves into Daisy's arms, and Becky pointed to the gold coins piled on the ground like a treasure, and said, "Mom, you see, there are many brothers and sisters here today, not only to help grandpa heal, but also to lend us these coins when they leave. ”
Sophia added, "Well, there are about a thousand, and if only these coins were worth as much as copper, then ten silver coins." ”
Daisy glanced at the two gold coins on the ground that were still used as toys, first rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then walked over and looked at them carefully, and finally put them in her mouth and bit them hard, only to be sure that these were gold coins at all.
Looking at the nearly a thousand gold coins, Daisy lingered for a long time, until Becky and Sophia called her for a long time before she came to her senses, grabbed the arms of the two children, and carefully asked what was going on.
When the two children finished talking about what happened sentence by sentence and took out the beautiful ornaments they had treasured, Daisy was sure that she had met a nobleman.
At this time, the old man had woken up, and he also heard the story of the two little ones, and he was moved by the old tears in the dark. In the end, Betsy put on his small chest and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will work hard when I grow up, and I will return this money to my brother and sister, you see, my sister and I have written down their names." Sophia was very cooperative, and took out the recorded strip of cloth from her bosom.
Daisy took the strip of cloth and didn't know what to say when she saw the name and the number of coins on it.
"By the way," Becky explained, "I heard people call that rogue brother Adonis and that pretty sister Elena. ”
Sophia added: "The brother who treated my grandfather is called Leigh, and his name is so strange. Daisy was stunned when she heard this, Leigh and Elena's names were unfamiliar to him, but the name Adonis was indeed quite familiar, because she had worked in the house of the chief steward before, and she was very familiar with the name Adonis.
Daisy was happy in her heart, she didn't want to take advantage of others, and was ready to return so many gold coins to others, but thinking about the evaluation of the young master's character by those servants when she was working, Daisy felt that the person who helped her and the one she knew should not be the same person, but she couldn't be sure, and finally decided to take the child to secretly see if it was the eldest young master who didn't learn and didn't know how to help her.
Carefully put away the gold coins that the two children used as toys and put them in the most hidden place in the house, Daisy prepares to cook. Seeing this, Sophia was very surprised and said: "Mom, the eldest brother said that grandpa needs to replenish his body, and now that we have money, should we get more food?" ”
Daisy opened the rice jar where the grain was stored, and there was only a thin layer of coarse grain that could barely cover the bottom of the jar, Daisy's heart suddenly ached, and she looked back at the two sensible but yellow-skinned children, Daisy couldn't hold back any longer, squatted down and hugged a pair of children tightly, and whispered tightly, full of guilt: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Daisy felt that she was useless, did not take good care of her father and children, and made them suffer so much with her. Just as Daisy's tears were falling, a slightly old voice came from the door of the back room: "Daisy, I'm sorry for you, it's me who dragged you down, you're a good boy, I'm sorry for you." ”
Daisy raised her head in surprise and saw that the old man who was originally bedridden was actually standing at the door, although his body trembled a little and he was a little reluctant to hold on to the wall, but the old man really walked to the door by himself.
Daisy didn't care about the guilt and grievances in her heart, grabbed the child who was about to rush over, and said in surprise: "Father, can you get up? Great, really good." The old man nodded effortlessly, but with a smile on his face.
Becky and Sophia called Grandpa again and again, Grandpa, Becky seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said to Daisy: "Mom, my brother said to let Grandpa rest well, otherwise maybe it will relapse in the future, let's help Grandpa go back." ”
Daisy was startled when she heard this, and glanced at her father with some reproach and said, "Father, why are you so careless, you finally met a good person who cured your disease, what if it relapses?"
The old man nodded again and again and said, "Yes, it's me who is not good, I just can't lie down and want to get up and walk." ”
Daisy's face was full of happy tears, and she helped the old man to return to the bed carefully, took care of the old man to lie down, first asked the old man how he felt, and after getting a positive answer, Daisy was ecstatic, and told the old man again and again: "Father, I know that you can't stand it after lying down for so long, but you still have to hold on for a while, just ten days, and when your illness is cured, you can do whatever you want in the future, these days are the key, you must persevere." ”
Betge said sensibly, "Grandpa, if you're bored, my sister and I will talk to you." ”
Sophia nodded her little head and said, "Well, my brother and I will accompany Grandpa, and then take us out to play when Grandpa is better." ”
With such a daughter-in-law who never leaves, and such a well-behaved and sensible granddaughter, the old man is very satisfied, and he feels that even if he is bedridden, he is the happiest person in the world.
Just then, someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard and said, "Excuse me, is this the home of Becky and Sophia?"
Daisy and the old man were stunned for a moment, and then reacted that it should be those good people who had just come, and before Daisy could react, Becky and Sophia had already run to the small courtyard and looked curiously at the door of a few people wearing civilian clothes and carrying large wooden boxes.
Daisy followed, and before the two children could speak, Daisy pulled them behind her, because she could see from the expressions of the two children that the people who came were not the good people just now, and there were so many gold coins at home, Daisy was worried that bad people would come to rob them, so she asked vigilantly: "Who are you?"
One of the five or six young men saluted respectfully, and then said, "We are from the Hoth Hotel, we have a guest ordering food, let us bring it over, is this the home of Becky and Sophia?"
Becky exclaimed, "I'm Becky, she's Sophia, did my brother and sister ask you to come, where are they now?"
At this time, a middle-aged man who had been hiding behind several food delivery guys walked out, and said with a smile on his face, "It was Master Adonis who ordered us to come over, are you the mother of Betsy and Sophia?" Daisy saw the person who spoke clearly, and held her mouth in surprise. (To be continued......)
