Zhao Chuchu was meticulously raised since childhood. Relying on her adoptive mother's doting and wealth, she indulged in idleness, eating, drinking, and merry-making, visiting brothels, and tea...
Qing'er insisted: "I don't mean anything else. You did a great job today. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Chuchu and the others."
Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan both nodded.
Efficient employees bring huge benefits, so giving them 20 copper coins each is nothing.
Shen Chaomu did not refuse anymore and expressed his gratitude with a group of little beggars.
-
It takes more than an hour to walk from Yipinzhai to the dilapidated temple. The little beggars have been busy all day. Qing'er doesn't want them to walk such a long way back, so she says she can find an inn for them.
Shen Chaomu took the situation of the little beggars into consideration and booked three inferior rooms in an inn near Yipinzhai. Of course, they said they would pay for it themselves as he was unwilling to let Qing'er and the others spend any more money.
There were three rooms and more than twenty of them. Some slept on beds, some slept on the floor. They could at least squeeze together and sleep. After all, they had lived in a dilapidated temple that leaked rain and drafts for so long.
Qing'er agreed and sent them to the inn before leaving.
As soon as Qing'er left, dozens of little beggars including Chengzi, Youzi, etc. came to Shen Chaomu.
They spread out their hands, and on them was the wages they earned that day, each of them had dozens of copper coins.
"Sister Mu, this is for you." Chengzi said.
Shen Chaomu shook his head: "This is what you earned."
Chengzi: "Sister Mu, we didn't know how to make money before, and it was you and Brother Ci who supported us. Now that we can make money, we just want to give this money to you. Sister Mu, please accept it."
"Take it. We will work hard to make more money in the future."
"Yes, when we grow up, we will raise you and Brother Ci."
Chengzi spread out Shen Chaomu's hands and put his share of copper coins in Shen Chaomu's hands. Others also came forward. In the end, Shen Chaomu couldn't put down both hands and could only take out a bag.
About twenty people, thousands of copper coins, filled a large bag.
Shen Chaomu's eyes were a little sore, and he rubbed their hair: "Okay, then leave it here with me, and I will buy you delicious food later."
Shen Chaomu thought about it and finally accepted it. This money can be used as food expenses in the future, and it will also be used when you get sick accidentally.
Chen Chaomu thought of Little Grape and the others in the ruined temple again.
They did not go back tonight, which was what Shen Chaomu had expected before, so before leaving in the morning, she specially left some money and gave instructions several times.
They should eat well.
The little beggars were very tired. As soon as they arrived at the inn, they washed up and fell asleep quickly.
Shen Chaomu sat on the table and rolled up his trouser legs.
I saw a purple spot on the left leg. I pressed it gently and the pain made Shen Chaomu frown.
At that time, Shen Chaomu's left leg was seriously injured. Even though it did not need to be amputated later, it was still lame. Not only that, it would turn purple and sore if he walked for a long time.
She was out handing out flyers today, but she could have been lazy if she wanted to.
But she didn't.
She didn't want to be lazy. Since she had agreed, she had to do the job well after receiving the wages. Moreover, she didn't want Zhang Xiuyuan to think that she was a lazy person.
So, she dragged her sore and lame legs to distribute flyers all day long. But she was afraid that there wouldn't be enough people in one place alone, so she went to several busy places.
After a day, her lame leg could no longer support her. She had just been trying her best to endure it so that others would not know.
