Chapter 42 Suddenly I realized that life is not that bad

I felt so comfortable taking a bath that I fell asleep as soon as I returned to the bedroom.

The king of Dajing is asleep, but his spies are still spread all over the palace. They lurk and monitor every move of the people in the palace day and night. There are always eyes hidden in the palace, so this place is known as a prison cage.

Jin Ge and Ye Du clearly felt that the guards in the palace had been strengthened since Emperor Jing returned, and it would not be easy for her to escape even when she was resting.

The entire palace was like a huge bird cage. Once inside, no one could fly out unless the owner opened the cage.

Have a good night's sleep.

The next day.

At daybreak, the slum dweller yawned as he opened the door and saw the small black cloth bag at once. He opened it and screamed excitedly, then quickly covered his mouth and looked around carefully, then closed the door and went back to the house.

"Wife, wife, look what this is!"

His lips trembled with excitement. The pale and thin woman sitting on the bed was comforting a child who had been running a fever for many days. She hugged the child, suppressed her bitterness, forced a smile, sang nursery rhymes to the child, and coaxed him gently, hoping to ease some of the pain.

After hearing what her husband said, she whispered, "Keep your voice down. My daughter is feeling refreshed and wants to go to sleep. Go wash the wild vegetables and make some food."

The man clapped his thigh with one hand and said excitedly: "No need to eat wild vegetables, no need to eat wild vegetables, my daughter can also see a doctor, our family is saved!"

The woman saw him dreaming like a fool, his dark eyes were dull and lifeless, and her daughter squinted her eyes listlessly, tears falling from her eyes: "Dad, is our family rich now?"

"I got it, I got it. What do you want to eat, Dad will buy it for you. Now, let your mother take you to get treated!"

"I want Daddy and Mommy to eat meat. Give me the delicious food. You have lost weight..."

The little girl was only five or six years old, with red eyes like a little rabbit. Her words made the couple burst into tears. The woman hugged her, buried her head in her neck and sobbed softly. The man quickly wiped away his tears and responded, "Okay, okay, we will all eat meat today. Dad will go buy you some!"

The woman cried, "Stop painting cakes here. Where does the money come from? Where does the money come from?"

Pain and despair.

The man put the small black bag in the woman's hand with trembling hands. The woman looked down and saw that it was bulging with small change. Her eyes widened suddenly, and she covered her mouth with one hand to suppress her tears, even forgetting to cry out loud.

The suffering lasted so long that she almost forgot that she was still alive.

It is like this in every world. The gap between the rich and the poor is huge. You can’t even imagine how poor those poor people are.

Suffering is not to be praised because it only brings pain.

However, suffering is often praised, which is incomprehensible in the eyes of the poor.

Their hearts were crushed by the suffering, and they were lost, helpless and unable to breathe.

This money was like the power of God, which removed the mountain-like rock that was pressing down on them, allowing them to breathe and survive.

After a long silence, the woman finally burst into tears.

The family hugged each other every three days to vent the unexpressed depression.

The woman didn't even bother to comb her hair. She kissed her daughter's flushed forehead, took some change from her bag, and ran out with the child in her arms. She was going to the hospital.

Now that I have money, I can finally treat my daughter’s illness.

The man ran to the market, smiling happily and bought a lot of meat in one day.

At lunchtime, the aroma of meat wafted out of every window.

I don't know why, I just closed my eyes and slept like usual, but when I woke up today, I saw the light.

They ate the meat with tears in their eyes.

Unlike the previous ones, these were tears of joy and happiness.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

There was a knock on the door, and the man ran to open it. Standing by the door were two old men, who were old and frail, with hunched backs and bowls filled with meat. The old man said, "Ah, you always help our family. This is not much meat, but please accept it..."

The old lady leaned on her cane and said with a gentle smile: "Child, take it quickly."

The warmth that was delivered to his door almost made him break down and cry. He waved his hands and said, "We have meat at home, too. You can keep it. Your family is growing."

The aroma of meat wafted out from the windows of every house, and everyone ran out while eating with their bowls in hand.

The common people just sat there chatting and asking curiously: "Your family also eats meat?"

"Hey, have we eaten yet?"

“That’s great!”

A group of people laughed heartily, their smiles were bright and without a trace of gloom.

Only now did everyone realize that something was wrong, and the slums suddenly turned around.

The couple also ran to the door to chat with everyone. A group of people sat on the ground with their legs crossed, eating from their bowls and chatting.

"I found a black bag by the door when I opened it early in the morning."

"I found it under a brick wall near our house..."

"Mine is in the haystack..."

Everyone was stunned.

"I opened it out of curiosity, and it was filled with small change..."

"My old lady has money to treat her illness..."

"I can now afford to buy my children some winter clothes..."

"I have food to eat..."

As they were talking, the group of people felt a lump in their throats and quickly looked up to the sky, trying to force back their tears.

"Who sent us the money? It really saved our lives."

"What a surprise! I had a good dream last night after such a long absence!"

"Hahahaha, it seems like God is reluctant to take our lives away!"

Everybody was so happy that the news spread to all the nearby villages in just half a day. For a moment, everyone was extremely jealous and just hoped that they could experience such a surprise once.

Then the next day, it really came!

They all found black cloth bags near their houses, filled with small change that made every honest and simple person who was bullied by poverty burst into tears.

Afterwards, it was not Jun Lin himself who secretly distributed the money, but the local soldiers he sent to the city.

There is no need to tell them that this was the work of Emperor Jing, and there is no need to make them happy and uneasy at the same time.

Just think of it as a gift from a kind person, because in the future, Junlin will officially prepare a gift for them that will be envied by everyone in the world.

She wants to be dignified and give the best to her people in public.

Now people who have not yet got their wallets are accustomed to looking around every morning when they open the door. It doesn’t matter if they can’t find it, because a surprise will come one day.

They felt very happy because of this, and they felt full of energy when they picked up their hoes and went to work in the fields.

No matter who gave them this surprise, they can only live a good life and work hard to repay the other person's kindness with happiness.

Well, I suddenly realized that life is not that bad after all.
