Chapter 255 Idea
He also didn't want to cause trouble for Mrs. Fang and the others, but in this situation, if there was really any family willing to help them, it would probably only be the eldest branch of the Shao family.
Mrs. Fang is kindhearted, and the eldest wife of the Shao family is also able to help. Other families see how poor they are now, and they can send some vegetables and a bowl or two of rice, but who is willing to lend money?
When Fang heard what he said, she was shocked and immediately borrowed fifty cents.
Ding Erzhu wiped his eyes, thanked him, and went to the neighboring village to invite a doctor overnight.
Fortunately, the child was not seriously injured. After drinking the boiled herbal medicine twice, the temperature dropped by noon the next day. Although it rose slightly again later, he continued to drink the medicine, and after another day, his temperature got better.
The couple has been nervously watching over their child these past two days, not daring to leave for a moment, feeling as if the sky is about to fall.
Fang and Qiao Xuan came yesterday and again today, bringing them a lot of food, including vegetables and a pheasant that Shao Xiaoqi had hunted.
Qiao Xuan also brought a big watermelon, saying that she wanted the children to try it. The children would probably like it, but she couldn't let them eat too much at one time.
Ding Erzhu and Zhou were so moved that they didn't know what to say. Ding Erzhu, a grown man, wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Fang on the spot. Fang was so scared that she quickly asked Zhou to pull him up.
Ding Erzhu wiped his eyes and said, "Sister-in-law Fang, your family are all good people. We can't repay you for your kindness in this lifetime! If you need us in the future, just ask. We don't have anything else but our strength. We will repay you the rest in the next life!"
Fang sighed, "Don't say that. We are from the same village, it shouldn't be that serious. You two are both hardworking people, and your life will be better in the future."
Ding Erzhu and Zhou nodded reluctantly, accepting Fang's kindness.
However, they hardly dare to think about the future.
Will it be okay? At least they don't see any hope.
Fang and Qiao Xuan exchanged glances. Fang coughed and said, "It's not a good idea for you to do it this way. The child is too young to be alone, and you have nothing here. It will be even more difficult when winter comes. I have an idea. Do you agree?"
Fang's words hit the nail on the head for Ding Erzhu and Zhou. Isn't this what they are worried about now?
When they heard Fang's last words, their eyes lit up. Zhou said hurriedly, "Sister Fang, you are a good person. If you have any good ideas, please tell us! We are grateful that you are willing to help us!"
Ding Erzhu also nodded repeatedly.
The two looked at Fang expectantly.
Fang Shi also knew about Qiao Xuan's fertile land in Zhangjia Village, and it was Qiao Xuan who proposed this idea and asked her if it was appropriate. She thought about it and realized that this was a good idea.
She knew that the couple were honest people.
There is also such a small child, which is also pitiful.
If they could help Qiao Xuan look after the fertile fields, they would also be better off, so why not?
Fang told them about this and asked them to keep it secret.
After all, Qiao Xuan was the daughter of the county magistrate. Ding Erzhu and Zhou did not think it was strange to hear that she had a farm of more than 200 acres. They just thought it was a dowry given to her by the county magistrate.
As for asking them to keep it secret and not show off their wealth, they also understand this principle.
Besides, the Shao family has its own difficulties. The second and third branches are eyeing them covetously. Doesn't Qiao Xuan have to keep it secret?
