Mrs. Sun hugged her daughter whose complexion had returned to rosy. She sincerely thanked Mrs. Li and Jiayin, but she also planned carefully for them.
Even before Mrs. Li could refuse, she stuffed the banknotes into her arms, leaving only ten taels of silver outside.
At this moment, the maidservant also came in with a basin, ready to wash Miss Sun.
Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment, and could only hold Jiayin in her arms, bow deeply, and then retreated.
The nurse and the maid moved quickly. Not long after Mrs. Li returned to the room with Jiayin in her arms, they sent three large bags of clothes.
Half of them are Miss Sun's old clothes. They are said to be old clothes, but in fact they have only been worn once or twice, and they are no different from new ones.
The needlework is good and the material is soft. Mrs. Li looked at it over and over with joy.
The remaining half is very messy, with clothes for women, men, and even half-grown children, all of which were begged by the wet nurse and the maids, wives, and servants of the Sun family.
Everyone heard that the Li family had just rescued their master, and even to show their loyalty, they enthusiastically donated them and collected a large bag full of them.
"Oh, mother! I actually have so many clothes and ten taels of silver!"
Wu Cuihua took a top with blue background and white flowers and happily measured it on her body. As she spoke, her eyes furtively glanced at Li The old lady has ten taels of silver.
Tao Hongying and the others were not as unruly as Wu Cuihua. They looked at the clothes and money without touching them, just waiting for Mrs. Li to say something.
Mrs. Li took two puffs from her pipe and then told everyone about Jiayin's rescue of Miss Sun.
"Oh! Then our Fu Niu'er has become Miss Sun's lifesaver!"
Wu Cuihua beamed with joy when she heard the news, and looked at the good news as if she were a treasure.
Jiayin couldn't stand Wu Cuihua's sudden turn of events, so she rolled her eyes and buried her head in Tao Hongying's arms.
"Okay, Mrs. Sun is still the savior of our family! Forget it, you have heard about this, and don't act nonsense."
Seeing that Wu Cuihua was a little too excited, Mrs. Li quickly put away the money and knocked it hard. She said a few words.
Wu Cuihua was a little unconvinced, but she was not ambiguous at all when choosing clothes. She pulled several pieces into her arms...
The big boat went all the way south along the river and soon arrived at the Minnanling Pier.
Minnan Ridge is on the dividing line between north and south. Once here, the journey is already halfway over.
The victims walked slowly, and were blocked by the state capital along the way. Before they could escape here, the pier was not that chaotic.
Seeing that we were getting closer to Kyoto, the people on the boat became more relaxed and happy.
"Yusheng, would you like to follow me to the shore? Look for fresh vegetables and dry goods. Let's fill up the warehouse."
Manager Wang called Li Laoer and planned to get off the boat to buy.
Li Laoer raised his voice and responded, but before getting off the boat, he was pulled back by Wu Cuihua.
"I want to go too. I'm going to be bored to death after staying on this boat for so long!"
Wu Cuihua complained repeatedly, and Li Laoer was tired of hearing it.
But Manager Wang was still waiting, and it was not good to be delayed for too long, so he didn't say anything more and silently allowed Wu Cuihua to follow.
Manager Wang also brought two boys with him, but he said nothing when he saw this.
Several people landed ashore, and Manager Wang ran directly to the roadside vegetable stall.
Wu Cuihua's eyes couldn't help but glance around. When she saw something she was interested in, she had to stop and touch it. She landed at the back of the crowd.
There were a few beggars on the roadside with unkempt faces, whining and begging. Their tattered clothes exuded a smell that made people unable to avoid them.
A man in rich clothes and with a big belly swaggered by on the road.
When the beggars saw it, they hurriedly came forward holding dirty and broken bowls.
"Master! Master, please do me a favor and give me something to eat!"
"Get out of here!"
The man's face was full of anger, and he looked like he had a bad temper. In addition, the smell of the beggar was unpleasant, so he raised his leg and kicked him.
The beggar was very hungry. He couldn't stand it anymore. He howled and rolled several times on the ground. He happened to roll to Wu Cuihua's feet.
She was so disgusted that she was about to curse a few words, but the beggar blocked her way.
"Sister? Big sister! Oh, big sister, it's me, I'm Ergouzi!"
The beggar directly hugged Wu Cuihua's calf, crying even harder.
Wu Cuihua subconsciously lowered her head and looked carefully, gasping in shock.
"Er Gouzi? Why are you here? Didn't you and dad leave a long time ago?"
She didn't mind the smell anymore, so she knelt down and picked up the beggar.
Li Laoer heard the noise and hurried back. When he saw who the beggar was, he also frowned.
Wu Cuihua is the eldest in the family, and she has a younger brother named Wu Ergou.
When he grew up, he didn't want people to call him a famous name, so he always called himself Wu Er when he met people.
There was just such a boy in the Wu family, and the whole family pampered him, developing his lazy, selfish character.
Even though the Wu family's wife died a few years ago, Wu Ergou didn't change his temper.
When the famine broke out before, everyone dragged their families and families south to escape the famine.
Wu Cuihua's father took Wu Er and the family's money and food and ran away without even thinking that there was a daughter like Wu Cuihua.
But Wu Cuihua was thinking about it all day long. When she first escaped, she saw Tian'er whispering in Li Laoer's ears that she wanted to find her father and younger brother.
Li Laoer knew what kind of character Wu Er and his father were, so he ignored Wu Cuihua at all, not wanting to meet them here.
At this moment, Wu Cuihua hugged her brother and cried, holding his arm and asking questions repeatedly.
"Where's dad? Isn't dad with you?"
Wu Er pushed aside the messy hair that obscured his eyes and quickly looked at Wu Cuihua.
I saw that she was wearing neat clothes, with no patches on her body, and her face was fair and white. It seemed that she was living a good life.
He clutched his stomach with a sad look on his face.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" It's been three days!"
His biological father who gave birth to him and raised him was beaten to death, but he mentioned it as if he was talking about an unrelated person, which was really cold-hearted.
When Wu Cuihua heard that her father was dead, she cried hard.
"Then have you buried your father? Have you set up a monument? You have to go back and take your father to the ancestral grave in the future!"
Wu Er was a little impatient, "Everyone is dead, why bury him? I can't even eat." If you can't even eat, how can you find the strength to build a monument for him?"
"You really...let's go, I'll take you to the boat." Wu Cuihua heard her brother say this, although she was sad, but there was nothing she could do, so she pulled him and walked to the boat.
Li Laoer wanted to stop him, but he couldn't stop him, so he could only talk to Manager Wang and chase him.
On the deck of the ship, Mrs. Li was holding Good News and standing by the guardrail watching the people coming and going on the pier.
Jiayin's little mouth was slightly open, and her big eyes were unblinking, looking seriously.
This world is so unfamiliar to her.
The Tianwu Dynasty did not exist in any period of history, but the productivity was still low and the people were poor.
Most of the people coming and going on the pier were wearing patched clothes and had sallow complexions and thin skin. It was obvious that they were not having a good life.
Mrs. Li looked at her granddaughter's face with a hint of seriousness and compassion, and thought she had made a mistake.
After all, how could a child who is not yet one month old look like this!
