Granny Zhang came back after returning the things and happened to hear the tail end of the conversation, so she picked up the conversation:
"Recuperate? How can a beggar like her recuperate? How about letting her stay in your clinic for a few days?"
Doctor Xiao Hu looked embarrassed:
"My clinic doesn't have anything expensive. But she's a woman after all... It's just me and my brother here, and it's inconvenient for her to live here!"
Xia Daohua carefully observed the clinic and found that it was indeed small.
There is only a small courtyard in total, with two houses facing the street, separated by the original house. There is a low warehouse in the courtyard and a back door.
No wonder I felt unable to turn around when Gao Jinxi and the others were here just now.
There is not much space in total. Excluding the residence of Doctor Hu and his brother, if the female beggar lives here to recuperate, she will probably have to sleep on the floor.
But even sleeping on the floor is better than sleeping on the street...
I'm afraid Dr. Hu feels it's inconvenient, mainly because they are a single man and a single woman, and people's gossip is scary.
Especially since this beggar woman had already suffered misfortune and was driven out by her husband's family for such a reason...
Dr. Xiao Hu's consultation fees and medication are very cheap, and he didn't refuse to see me, which is already very rare. I can't blame him anymore.
As Xia Daohua was thinking this, she heard the beggar woman get up and say, "It's okay. I don't need to rest. I'll be fine after taking the medicine."
He also bowed and thanked Xia Yujiao, Xia Daohua, Doctor Xiao Hu, and Grandma Zhang sincerely.
He also pulled his two children to salute together.
Xia Daohua felt a little sore in her nose as she watched, and Xia Yujiao couldn't help shedding tears.
Granny Zhang pondered for a while and said:
"I have an old neighbor's house that's vacant, and I'm looking for a tenant.
You can stay there for two days first.
I'll plead with him and won't charge you any money. But if he finds a tenant, you'll have to move out. You can't interrupt his business."
The female beggar was overjoyed and kowtowed to Grandma Zhang with tears of gratitude.
Xia Daohua looked at her with a pity. Xia Yujiao smiled even happier than the beggar. She held Granny Zhang's hand and praised her, "Granny Zhang, you are such a kind person!"
Granny Zhang smiled slightly, stole a glance at Xia Daohua's expression, and said:
"So many kindhearted people, they are all poor people. If you meet them, if you can help them, you should help them. If you can't help them, then you can only watch."
Xia Yujiao and Xia Daohua followed Grandma Zhang to the place she mentioned.
The house is not big, it is a small courtyard with its own entrance and it is kept very clean.
The previous tenant moved out less than three days ago and still hasn't found a new tenant.
When the beggar woman's two children learned that they could live in such a place, they cheered, jumped up and down and clapped their hands.
The female beggar thanked Grandma Zhang again profusely.
Xia Daohua and the others helped the female beggar settle down, and asked Grandma Zhang to run errands for her. She went to the clothing store and bought two sets of clothes for the female beggar and her two children. She also helped buy some basic living supplies.
After all this trouble, it cost almost one or two taels of silver.
Xia Yujiao left reluctantly, and Grandma Zhang smiled very kindly from beginning to end.
She did not embezzle money from the purchases or falsify the accounts - Xia Daohua's generosity when giving tips made her firm in her judgment.
You have to hold on to this big, thick leg.
What's more, showing compassion to the poor and the weak is also a way to accumulate good karma.
She was old, and wanted nothing more than money and her children and grandchildren. Saving more money for them, accumulating good karma, would allow her to rest in peace when she died.
You should say hello to the neighbors.
Lao Du doesn't live here on weekdays, and he asked her to help look after the house, so she had to tell him.
Grandma Zhang was just thinking about it when Xia Daohua asked her, "How much is the monthly rent for this house?"
Granny Zhang was delighted and replied with a smile:
"This landlord, Lao Du, is the most generous. The rent is very cheap, only 1,200 coins a month. If you stay long-term, you can get a discount.
You just have to take care of the house.
If the family is unwilling to take good care of the house, no matter how much money they offer, they will never rent it out."
Xia Daohua paid a month's rent and let the beggar woman and her two children stay there with peace of mind, so that she could recover her health first and then plan for the future.
She hasn't figured out how to accommodate this female beggar.
But for some reason, perhaps for Xia Yujiao's mental health, perhaps out of some grieving for the loss of a rabbit, or perhaps subconsciously wanting to gather more people...
Xia Daohua always felt that she should help this female beggar.
After renting the house, Xia Daohua left another three hundred copper coins for the beggar woman.
Although the money is not much, if it is spent frugally, it should be enough for the beggar woman and her two children to have full meals for a month.
The beggar girl burst into tears: "I never dreamed that I would meet such a kind person today..."
Xia Daohua finally learned the beggar's name.
Her surname is Mei and her name is Erya.
Summer Rice Flower: ...
This doesn't sound like a serious name.
Her eldest daughter who was sold was named Da Niu, and the two children who stayed behind were named Xiao Cao and Xiao Shu, the older one.
The grass is five and a half years old this year, and the tree is only two years old.
Mei Erya didn't have any skills and couldn't embroider. She could only sew soles, make shoes, and make clothes, but they were only shorts worn by farmers and shirts and skirts worn by peasant women.
She once sewed some insoles to sell, but there was no business, and later even these things were taken away by her husband's family.
