The leader froze when he saw the two men coming down the stairs.

His younger sister was dressed like a city student, not like a beggar at all.

His eyes immediately welled up with tears, his nose tingled, and he saw double.

"Brother, this sister is very kind. She gave me new clothes to wear. I'm no longer a little beggar who has to beg on the street and get scolded."

"Little sister, your happiness is my happiness."

Thank you so much, boss.

I, Zhao Minghui, was blind today. I listened to others and came here to cause trouble, even cursing you incessantly. I deserve to die.

Brothers, let's get out of here quickly. The boss is kind, righteous, and very loyal.

Let's not be ungrateful; Mr. Xia has offended us greatly.

Zhao Minghui gave a shout and led the group outside, bowing to Xia Enruo before leaving.

"Zhao Minghui, stop right there!"

Xia Enru shouted at this moment.

He turned his head and looked at Xia Enruo.

"Boss Xia, do you want us to pay for the meal? We really don't have any money! Or are you going to call the police and say we're causing trouble here?"

The beggars' expressions suddenly turned serious, probably because they felt a little guilty. After all, they had caused a ruckus in the shop and scared away the customers.

The room was full of customers. How much money would this cause? If the police were called and it was said that they were instigated to come here to cause trouble, they would definitely be detained.

The group looked at each other in silence. The room was so quiet that the sound of the cold wind and snow outside could be heard.

"Brother, what are you thinking? I called you over because I wanted to tell you that your sister's leg wound has become infected and swollen."

She has inflammation and has started to have a fever. Her condition is critical; you must take her to the hospital for treatment. If you delay any longer, her life could be in danger.

When Zhao Minghui heard Xia Enruo say that, his expression softened, and he replied with teary eyes.

"Boss Xia, I know that, but unfortunately I don't have any money."

I took her to a small clinic before, and they asked me for 10 yuan for treatment.

As soon as they heard I had no money, they kicked us both out. I had no choice.

"Sis, if you have to blame someone, blame yourself for having such a useless brother."

"Brother, don't cry, I'm fine. I'll definitely be better in a while."

The girl gently wiped away Zhao Minghui's tears and comforted him.

Xia Enruo couldn't bear to see such touching scenes. Upon hearing that she couldn't even see a doctor because she had no money, she realized that no matter what era it was, it was truly difficult to get by without money.

Gu Shaoxuan and Yuan Qiang opened the door and walked in, only to be dumbfounded by the scene inside.

What's going on here? Why are there no customers, but instead a group of ragged people standing here, crying and sobbing?

When the men saw the people in military uniforms walk in, they thought they were going to be arrested, and they started trembling with fear.

Knowing that the military had been alerted, I would never dare to cause trouble at this shop today. I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes, and I must be tired of living.

Why are you back so early today?

"Oh, nothing much to do at the unit today, so we came back a little early. What's up?"

Gu Shaoxuan pointed to the people standing there as he spoke.

"It's nothing, they're just customers who just finished eating. You two are back just in time."

Zhao Minghui, I, Xia Enruo, will help you all the way today, and I'll cover all your sister's medical expenses.

Yuan Qiang, please use your car to take the three of us to the city hospital. I need to get this girl medical treatment.

"Okay, sister-in-law. Let's go now."

Although Yuan Qiang didn't know the reason, since Xia Enruo said she would do it, there must be no problem.

"Boss Xia, you are our benefactor. I, Zhao Minghui, will remember your life-saving grace for the rest of my life. Thank you, thank you so much."

Zhao Minghui pulled his sister along, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly as he spoke.

Xia Enruo stepped forward and quickly helped the two of them up.

"Alright, forget about being a benefactor or not. I just can't bear to see my sister suffering from illness. She's at such a young age, and it's heartbreaking to see her go through this."

Okay, let's go now, we need to get treatment quickly.

“I’ll go with you.”

Gu Shaoxuan said.

After the group dispersed, Xia Enruo instructed the staff to clean the lobby before leaving, and to close the store for the day and reopen early tomorrow morning.

Yuan Qiang took the four of them to the hospital. Xia Enru led the girl to the doctor for a checkup and learned that her name was Zhao Mingyan.

"Fortunately, you arrived in time. According to this test report, her wound has been infected for too long and the inflammation is quite severe."

He'll need to stay in the hospital for a few days for IV fluids, and the wound will require thorough cleaning and stitches.

Xia Enruo helped the brother and sister with their hospital admission procedures, and also left them some money and two sets of clothes for Zhao Minghui.

"Alright, you can stay here with your sister for her medical treatment. I've already paid for her hospitalization and treatment, so you don't need to pay anything else."

Take this money, buy her some food, and take good care of her.

We're heading back now. If you encounter any difficulties at the hospital, just come find me at the shop.

Zhao Minghui wiped away his tears and kept bowing to Xia Enruo.

"Thank you, Boss Xia! Thank you, Boss Xia! I will never forget your great kindness in my life, and I will repay you in the future."

"After your sister gets better, help her find a good job so she won't have to beg anymore. This can't go on forever."

Xia Enruo didn't expect him to repay her in any way; he was now reduced to begging and couldn't even take care of himself.
