Chapter 124 Entrustment
Wan Ersao still placed Shen in the house where she lived last night.
The kang was lit in the room, making the whole room warm. Because Shen was now a divorced woman, Wan Laoer did not follow them in. Only Shen Jinyuan followed Wan Ersao into the room.
Wan Ersao first placed Shen gently on the kang, and held Shen's arms tightly with both hands, fearing that if she let go, Shen would fall backwards.
Shen Jinyuan wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Wan Ersao.
"Who are you? Why did you follow me in? You don't care about the separation between men and women? Get out now, get out."
After Wan Ersao gently laid Shen down on the kang, she went to chase Shen Jinyuan away.
Just at this time, Old Mrs. Wan came in.
"Second daughter-in-law, please do not be rude. This is Shen's younger brother. He is here to look for his eldest sister."
After being stunned for a moment, Wan Ersao realized that she had made a mistake. Her face turned red instantly and she lowered her head in embarrassment. But she raised her head soon after. She felt that she had not done anything unforgivable, so why should she feel guilty?
"Well, big brother, I'm sorry, sister-in-law didn't know about your relationship with Shen's. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had made it clear earlier, wouldn't everything be fine?"
Shen Jinyuan's heart was entirely on Shen, and he was grateful from the bottom of his heart to this woman who protected his elder sister, so how could he be angry?
"Sister-in-law, I am at fault. I should apologize to you and thank you for your careful care."
Shen Jinyuan bowed to Wan Ersao, and Wan Ersao did not dodge, which would make the other party feel better.
"Brother, you came here to look for your elder sister this time. Are you planning to take her away?"
Wan Ersao glanced at Shen on the kang and asked with a worried tone.
Shen Jinyuan originally planned to see how his eldest sister was living and see if he could help her out. However, he didn't expect that his eldest sister had been living in dire straits. He changed his mind and decided to take his eldest sister away.
"Sister-in-law, I have this idea, but I don't know if my eldest sister can travel far now?"
Sister Wan shook her head gently and sighed, "I'm afraid it's not possible. If you want your eldest sister to travel far away, she needs to be nursed for at least half a month, and we need to see how well she recovers before making a decision. Otherwise, her life may be in danger. The doctor said she must rest. Her body is too exhausted, and she needs nourishing products to warm her up. But the Shen family only gave her two taels of silver, and we can only stew a chicken for her for a few days to feed her. There's nothing else we can do."
Shen Jinyuan frowned, and when he heard the name of the Shen family, he gritted his teeth in hatred. The people of the Shen family were really hateful.
However, now is not the time to settle accounts with the Shen family. He must first ensure that his eldest sister is safe.
"Sister-in-law, I have a hundred taels of silver here. Please keep it first. I will send some supplements to help my elder sister recover. If there is anything else you need, just ask and I will find a way to get it."
Shen Jinyuan took out a silver note from his purse and handed it to Wan Ersao with both hands.
Wan Ersao had never seen any silver bills before. She was frozen in place by Shen Jinyuan's generosity and didn't know for a moment whether she should reach out to take it.
Mrs. Wan looked at Old Lady Wan somewhat helplessly. It was not that their family could not come up with the one hundred taels of silver now, but that was all their belongings, and their family was worried about money. This one hundred taels of silver seemed to help them out of their difficulties.
"Child, we have to have a reason to decide whether to accept the money or not. You should take it back first."
Old Mrs. Wan stepped forward and gently pushed the hundred-liang silver note back.
Shen Jinyuan was stunned for a moment. What was wrong with the people in this village? This was the second time he had come here and failed to give money to people. The people here were obviously very poor, but they took money so lightly.
The old man just now was obviously covered in patches, but he was still thinking about studying and regarded money as dirt.
Although this family seems to be richer than the others, it can be seen from their faces that they are also from genuine farming families.
Faced with such a huge amount of silver bills, he was able to refuse it without batting an eyelid.
Shen Jinyuan is now becoming more and more curious about this village. This is completely different from the people he met in the capital. The people in the capital don’t have money to explore the way, and they don’t even look at you, which is completely opposite to the simple folk customs here.
"Madam, this silver is for me to buy medicine for my elder sister. In addition, my elder sister will stay at your house for a while, and the cost of taking care of her during this period must also be calculated. Medical treatment and medicine are the biggest expenses, and I understand this, so you can take this one hundred taels of silver first. If it is not enough, I will get more."
Shen Jinyuan handed the silver over again.
Old Mrs. Wan had already analyzed Shen's situation in her mind. She raised her hand to take the banknote, but still said something.
"We can spend this money as much as we want. We will try to use the best things for your elder sister. I know you feel guilty about your elder sister, but this is not something that can be done overnight. There is a long time to come. Don't worry. You will repay us in due time. However, if there is any extra money, we will still return it to you. The village chief has already paid for the cost of taking care of Shen. Although we are poor people and have never seen so much money in our lives, we cannot develop the habit of greed and throw away the most valuable qualities in us."
In fact, Grandma Wan also wanted to be worthy of little Fubao's favor. After all, having a little lucky star living in her family is the blessing they have accumulated for many lifetimes.
Old Mrs. Wan doesn't want to waste her blessings too much.
Shen Jinyuan was shocked by what Old Lady Wan said. Is this really something an old rural lady could say?
At this moment, he admired Old Lady Wan from the bottom of his heart. After all, not everyone can understand such wise words.
"In that case, I will listen to you, old lady. However, I have another request, and I hope you can help me."
A trace of sadness flashed across Shen Jinyuan's face.
"Child, what else can't you say? Just say it. You have given enough money, what else are you worried about?"
The corners of Shen Jinyuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he was comforted by Mrs. Wan's words.
"Madam, it's like this. I won't leave this time when I come back, but my residence is in the county town. It's almost the New Year, and I'm busy with things. I may not be able to stay here for long. When I return, I will immediately send someone to help take care of my elder sister. I will come to pick up my elder sister after I have dealt with the things on hand in half a month. What do you think?"
Old Lady Wan thought it was something else. She waved her hands and said, "These are all trivial matters. You can't make your elder sister get better quickly if you stay here. As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and it goes away like pulling a thread. What's more, your sister's body needs to be healed from the root. You can't rush it. Just go and do your work. Young people should focus on the family business and make more money so that your sister can enjoy a good life in the future."
Mrs. Wan paused for a moment and continued, "There's no need to send that person here. After all, our house isn't very big, and it's not spring time yet. We have a lot of free time at home, so we can definitely take good care of your sister. Don't worry."
Shen Jinyuan felt that he was being abrupt. After all, this was someone else's home, and he should have asked if it was convenient before talking about giving the gift away. It also seemed like he didn't trust the other person.
"Madam, this is the best. Just do as you say. But don't worry about the supplements. I will send someone to deliver them in two days."
Old Mrs. Wan did not refuse again. After all, even if they had money, they had no place to buy supplements at this time.
Shen Jinyuan stayed here for half an hour. Seeing that Shen showed no signs of waking up, he really couldn't delay any longer, so he said goodbye.
The people from the Wan family sent Shen Jinyuan out the door. Shen Jinyuan glanced at the Shen family next door, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
