"Don't be afraid, Madam Song. They don't dare to chase us." Xiao Qin saw her fear and comforted her.
Soon, they took Madam Song and the child to their home to shelter from the rain. Mother Xiao was stunned to see that he did not bring back any water, but brought back two people, one big and one small.
"This is?"
Before he could even finish the sentence "What's going on?", the impatient second brother Xiao Mian explained:
"Mom, this is Miss Song who used to do business on the same street as us. Don't you recognize her? The mother and daughter ran into some trouble and we ran into them. Big brother came to her rescue. Her daughter is sick and there is no place to take shelter from the rain. Let her in first!"
The Xiao family are all sensible people, not to mention they know each other.
When they set up stalls in the town before, Jiang Sui and Xiao Lanlan had a very good relationship with Madam Song, and they were always chatting and joking with each other.
So when the aunt and sister-in-law heard it was her, they immediately came over to greet her.
Madam Song looked very disheveled, with messy hair, dirty face, and dirty clothes.
The little girl in her arms had lost a lot of weight. She was no longer as pretty and delicate as she was when she was in the town before. She used to have cute baby fat on her face.
The child's face is now red from fever and covered with tear marks. He is delirious and his body is still twitching.
Xiao's mother couldn't bear to see such a good child committing such a sin, and she felt very distressed.
When in town, little Ni always accompanied her mother to set up a stall on the street. Every time she did so, she would be called "Grandma". The glutinous little dumpling would melt her heart.
She took the child and didn't mind at all that she was wet and dirty.
"Quick, add some firewood and pour some hot water for the mother and daughter. I remember Goudan has some clothes that are too small for him. Take them out and change them for the child first."
Zhou nodded and went to look for clothes.
When Goudan saw a little girl coming, he curiously went to his grandmother to look at her.
Madam Song was also shivering with cold, and her clothes were wet, so Zhou found her own clothes and gave them to her:
"Madam Song, these are my clothes. Please wear them first. Don't catch a cold."
Faced with the kindness shown by the Xiao family, Madam Song's eyes were once again filled with tears. She had just cried because she was isolated and helpless, but now she was crying because she was moved.
"Thank you. Your family are all very kind people."
"It's ok, kid. Since we met, I'll just lend a hand. It's just a coincidence. My fourth son found some herbs that can reduce fever and treat colds on the road. He thought they would be useful for the rest of the journey, so he picked some and prepared them. Now it's just the right time to boil some water for little girl. You and your daughter are pitiful people. I'm a woman too, so I understand."
Xiao's mother likes Madam Song very much. She is hardworking, independent and strong. Although she lost her husband at a young age, she still lives an optimistic and positive life. She is also a woman with high emotional intelligence and knows how to behave.
Because Madam Song wanted to change her clothes, all the men went out and left.
Jiang Sui and Xiao Lanlan began to boil the medicinal soup and asked about Madam Song's recent situation. Seeing how miserable she looked, it must have been difficult for her to get here.
It turned out that Mrs. Song's house also collapsed because of the earthquake. She and her children were lucky enough to escape, but her mother died. She was heartbroken. Her fellow villagers helped her dig her mother's body out of the rubble. Under the circumstances at the time, she could only hastily find a place to bury her.
She only had a young daughter left, and she had to live well for her daughter. Seeing that everyone was starting to flee to Jeju, she packed her things, took some food, and headed for Jeju with her daughter.
The child was still young and could not walk far, so she got a small cart and pushed it herself. She also had to take care of the child, which was very tiring, so she walked very slowly.
She was also unlucky. On the way, she met an old couple who were not good enough for human beings. They saw that she was a woman alone with a child, so they took away her little remaining food and the cart while she was resting. Their sleeping bedding was also on top of it. The mother and daughter had not eaten much for two days and had to endure the cold at night.
Fortunately, there was a kind-hearted person who took pity on her and gave her two cakes to fill her stomach.
It suddenly rained yesterday, and the child started to have a fever after being caught in the rain. She took her passing by this town and saw many people in the town, so she came for help. She asked everywhere, but no one dared to take care of this trivial matter, and they were even unwilling to give her a place to shelter from the rain.
Later, she met a family who initially disagreed with her going in to take shelter from the rain. They were the same family who had just made things difficult for her and were plotting against her.
The old woman disagreed at first, but later her stupid son insisted pointing at Madam Song and calling her his wife. She thought about it and looked carefully at Madam Song's figure and face. She then decided to take advantage of her and keep Madam Song as the wife of her stupid son.
As a result, Xiao Qin met her and brought her back.
It's really not easy for her to be a woman, her life is full of ups and downs. Xiao's mother and Jiang Sui were heartbroken when they heard about it. They really couldn't imagine how she had been spending the past few days. Her mental strength almost broke down.
In fact, Madam Song almost collapsed several times. She even thought about dying with her daughter, as it would be difficult for them to survive anyway. But when she saw her well-behaved and lovely daughter, she cheered up again because she had not seen this world well.
It is said that women are weak by nature, but become strong when they become mothers. This is all there is to it.
After feeding Xiao Ni the medicine, the child fell asleep. It was also from Madam Song that we learned that the child's father's surname was Meng and he named the child Xuxu.
She had already changed into clean clothes and boiled water to wash her face and hair. Xiao Qin carried a bucket and held an umbrella, and went to the pond in the town to fetch water again and again. Chicken soup was stewing in the shabby little room, and the aroma of meat wafted in the air. Madam Song wolfed down two cakes.
