Chapter 78 Can't You Be a Little Kinder?
“Miss Shen, how can you be so cruel?” The woman holding the child cried sadly.
"You had food but refused to help us. If we starved to death, you would be the culprit."
Mo Yiran was shocked when he heard it.
"Yunyue! They starved to death, how can you blame us?"
Shen Yunyue glanced at him indifferently.
"As long as you don't follow their requirements, no matter what you do, it will be wrong. Mom, you have to listen to Xuan Heng and me in everything."
Mo Yiran sighed:
"Well, I don't care."
"Miss Shen, you must do good deeds. It's just a child wanting to eat a piece of meat. What's wrong with you giving us a piece of meat?"
The woman held the child with a sad look on her face.
She wasn't one of the powerful people in the family, and her parents didn't give her a penny after the accident.
What would she do as a woman with several children?
Shen Yunyue glanced over coldly.
"What does it have to do with me? He's not my Shen family's child. You're asking the wrong person."
"I have two girls, they can take your surname Chen. My boy is not suitable, so keep him to start a family." The woman pulled two girls in their teens over with one hand.
"I'll sell these two girls to you. I don't want much, how about ten taels of silver each?"
Everyone nearby pricked up their ears.
Ten taels of silver each, and those two girls look skinny and dull.
The girl in my own home is prettier than them.
Is this the price?
Everyone started calculating in their minds.
Old Madam Shen picked up a piece of fat and started chewing it.
The molars on both sides of her mouth were loose, making the lean wild boar meat inedible.
I heard that he wanted to sell his daughter.
I couldn't help but curse:
"Does my Shen family need a daughter? Should I raise one for you? That's a beautiful thought. How can a little girl be worth ten taels of silver?"
Shen Ma took over the conversation and sneered:
"The refugees I met the day before yesterday said they would pay one ounce of silver for a girl. She had to be twelve or thirteen years old or older."
With tears in her eyes, the woman kept begging:
"Then you can give me half a steamed bun."
Shen Yunyue would not give her a bite. Turning the stick in her hand, she said coldly:
"Why don't you go digging sweet potatoes today?"
The woman flinched.
A disdainful pout:
"It's raining outside and freezing, can't I sleep inside?"
"Then don't expect others to save you."
Shen Yunyue's cold face showed impatience. "If you keep nagging me, don't blame me for being blind."
"The richer you are, the more stingy you are." The woman cursed.
"You have people out hunting. What should I do as a woman?" The woman thought more and more sadly, "I used to have three maids, and about ten maids to serve me."
"What should I do now? Can't you be a little kinder?"
Shen Zhou smiled sadly:
"Who didn't have a few maids to serve them before? Are you special? You can't recognize the reality and the situation, and you think you are right?"
The woman sat on the ground holding the child, looking at the Shen family members with a sad face.
I accidentally met Fu Xuanheng's eyes.
The eyes were cold and sharp, like those crawling out from hell to take one's life, with a slightly raised corner of the eye that was full of wild charm.
I couldn't help but shiver and didn't dare to say anything more.
The little boy kicked his legs and cried:
"Mom, I'm so hungry."
"You won't starve to death. Go and see if there is any kind person who can give you something to eat." The woman hurriedly pushed the child away.
I don’t dare to push it to the Shen family.
She saw the shadow of death in Fu Xuanheng's eyes.
Push the child to his grandparents.
The little guy stumbled over and knelt down before the old man of the Pei family.
"Grandpa, I'm so hungry."
The elder of the Pei family sighed when he saw this, waved him over, and tore off a piece of steamed bread to feed him.
The rest of the Pei family's children gathered around, and the old lady fed them one by one, but each of them only had two mouthfuls of steamed bread.
Everyone chewed it slowly in their mouths.
I didn't dare swallow it in one gulp.
Only the women and their children whose parents sent money could barely eat a whole steamed bun.
I can't even want more.
The Lu family eats light food.
Mr. Lu and his companions at least had a bowl of dish and a steamed bun.
The others had a steamed bun.
There is also half a steamed bun.
Some people could only share one steamed bun among four people.
After Shen Yunyue finished eating, she didn't see any messengers coming back.
She knew it was because of the silver mine.
Consciousness explores the space.
I found that the silver ore that belonged to Xiao Daigua was gone. Instead, there was a piece of empty space covered with weeds, and on it was a mountain of silver ore.
It looks like the silver content should be quite high.
After cleaning up the Shen family, they put the things into the kitchen.
When Ah Si came in, he whispered a few words to Shen Yunyue.
"Did you see it?"
"Yes, Zhou Ying and the young wife of the Peng family were both there. I thought the old man looked a little strange, a little eerie."
"I understand. Tell Yingfeng and the others to be careful."
"I confessed."
Fu Xuanheng moved his body, "Yunyue. What's going on?"
Shen Yunyue covered his ears and told him.
Fu Xuanheng's face didn't look good.
"Have you had any contact with him?"
"Yeah, like a poisonous snake." Shen Yunyue always felt that this old man was a villain with no bottom line.
Despised by villains like Fu Xuanheng.
"Don't be afraid."
Fu Xuanheng obviously felt different these days.
The toxins in his body had long been nourished and made obedient by Shen Yunyue's energy training.
Not excreted.
It became a part of him that was unique to him.
Taking his pulse also revealed that he was poisoned.
The rain continued for two more days, and by the end, the food in the inn was running low.
They said they would no longer sell it to people in the dormitory.
Only the meals for the escorts were supplied normally.
It was as if the sky had been pierced.
It keeps raining endlessly.
The accumulated water also began to rise.
The room was so damp that water seeped through the walls.
In the mountains and forests a few days ago.
Shen Yunyue dug some sweet potatoes and steamed them to fill her stomach.
Those families who went to the mountains also shared their food. As long as they didn't starve to death, that was enough.
Shen Yunyue would secretly ask Shen Yunzheng to give each person two snacks and candies.
I don’t dare to eat openly anymore.
The tempers of Peng Scarface and his guards were getting worse and worse. If the exiled commoners offended them in the slightest, they would be whipped.
After the fight, push him out the door.
Shen Yunyue took some herbs from the space.
"Ah Si, go and make some medicine.
"It's such a nasty day, I need to drink some cold medicine. If the evil spirits invade, I'll be doomed."
"Miss Yue, shall I go to the stable to make some medicine?"
Ah Si took it. He had been on guard against the hunchbacked old man these past two days.
I didn't dare to eat or drink in the kitchen.
Lian Yingfeng and the others all stayed in the carriage and did not come into the house to eat.
"Okay, go ahead."
After Shen Yunyue finished speaking, she told him to bring a charcoal brazier.
She sighed:
"Poor Shu Bao, if he doesn't hurry on, he'll run out of food.
We are hungry and have no food to eat. But we cannot get cold either."
The people below were already trembling with fear.
"Miss Chen, do you want to light a charcoal brazier?" A young woman's lips were frozen purple.
Looking at Shen Yunyue eagerly.
"Well, let's light the charcoal brazier." Shen Yunyue glanced at everyone, fearing that someone else would catch a cold.
He wrapped his cloak tightly around himself and whispered:
"I'll put some mugwort incense sticks in the charcoal brazier. If anyone wants to warm themselves by the fire, I can give them some incense sticks."
It's not that she is kind-hearted and has to give it to him.
They are afraid that if the cold is widespread, even those who are physically weak will not be able to withstand it.
Especially Liu Feifei, a pregnant woman.
The daughter-in-law of the He family stood up and asked loudly:
"Shen Yunyue, we have a charcoal brazier here at home."
"Come here, I'll give you some mugwort snippets." Shen Yunyue didn't care about the conflict between the two families.
She prefers to take revenge on the spot.
The young wife just asked casually, and didn't seem to expect Shen Yunyue to actually give it.
I was stunned for a moment.
He Lushuang looked at Shen Yunyue sarcastically:
"Is there something wrong with your incense stick? I dare not use your incense stick."
After saying this, he fanned his nose with his hands.
Seeing He Lushuang's provocative look, he felt like he deserved a beating.
"Then cover your nose, or I'll poison you to death."
Shen Yunyue rolled her eyes at her.
Ah Si brought over the charcoal basin and also took out half a bag of diamond charcoal.
Diamond charcoal is not as good as red charcoal and silver charcoal, but it is also considered to be a high-quality charcoal.
After lighting it, Shen Yunyue put a piece of mugwort incense into it.
A faint scent of mugwort wafts in the air.
Everyone knew that Shen Yunyue's move was to prevent everyone from catching a cold.
Mr. Lu came over and laughed at Shen Yunyue:
“Miss Shen, please give me some mugwort incense.”
"Grandpa Lu, this is for you." Shen Yunyue handed over the cloth bag in her hand, but put two pieces of candy under the bag.
He lightly tapped Mr. Lu’s hand.
