The beggars said in unison: "Thank you, Master Imperial Master!"
Xiao nodded, walked past the beggars, and slowly came to the door of Old Li's house at the end of the alley.
Looking at the shabby and closed door, she thought about how she clearly hadn't locked the door when she came yesterday.
"Master Imperial Master, that second girl has returned."
Is she the girl who is haunted by evil spirit?
She raised her hand and knocked gently on the wooden door: knock...
“Who…who?”
Erya's trembling voice came from the door. Xiao thought for a moment and said, "It's me, the sister who gave you the silver yesterday."
The tight door clicked and slowly opened a crack. Erya's eyes peeked through the crack, and her bright eyes seemed especially dark because of fear.
"You...you are that sister?"
Xiao nodded: "Yes."
Erya continued, "So, what's the matter with you coming to see me? If you want to return that one or two taels of silver... I'm sorry, I've already given it to my second aunt."
As soon as she finished speaking, Erya thought tremblingly that she was really too stupid. How could there be such a good person in the world who would give her so much money?
Erya's eyes darkened.
Xiao Yu didn't know what she was thinking, so he just calmly replied, "Why don't you keep it for yourself?"
"I, I don't need that much money. My second aunt's cousin needs to go to school, and we don't have enough money, so I..."
Erya's voice almost rang out from her throat. Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to ask for the money back. Please open the door first, I want to talk to you."
"Are you really not here to ask for money?"
Xiao said: "No."
Erya then tremblingly opened the closed door, huddled beside the door, her shoulders shaking, as if she was extremely scared.
Looking at the bare room, Xiao sighed deeply, "Although you can't use so much money, you can keep it. Don't you plan for your future? What will you eat after the New Year? The coarse grains, oil, and salt at home won't last you until you grow up. Sooner or later, they will run out."
Erya fell silent. She tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "I know, but they came to my house to beg for mercy."
Tsk, someone just died and they come to borrow money. This kind of relative is not afraid of bringing bad luck when using the money.
After Xiao Xu finished thinking, he looked at the other person who lowered her head even more and said, "I hope you will think about yourself next time and what your second aunt is thinking." At Erya's age, she would probably understand what she meant quickly without her having to explain much.
It just takes time.
The two nodded in agreement, responded with a look that indicated they would think about it carefully, and then they remembered to move the chairs.
She struggled to move the heavy chair in front of Xiao Xu, and went to the kitchen to get a bowl of water, using a relatively new porcelain bowl.
He handed the bowl to her, his eyes sparkling and a little cautious: "Drink, drink?"
Xiao Yan pursed her lips and didn't answer. The next second, someone behind her took the porcelain bowl and put it back on the table in front of her. Before she finished speaking, she said, "You are not allowed to drink raw water."
His eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze the two people in the room into ice sculptures.
"I know..." Don't scare the girl with that look!
Arya: "S-Sorry, I just thought you must be thirsty after talking so much...that's why..."
Xiao Yu raised his head and rubbed his relatively clean little head, "It's okay, I don't blame you."
"I'm not here to chat or drink water."
