Chapter 536 Jia Yanbing felt compassion
"Uncle, your clothes, my mother heard that you needed them urgently, so she dried them for you overnight. Do you want to check them? See if you are satisfied?"
After Fenggu finished speaking, she moved the bag in her hand forward.
Wan Laoer took it stupidly.
The woman also smiled shyly and handed the other bags in her hands to Wan Laoer.
"Brother, I heard from my Aunt Feng that your children have no clothes to wear, so I thought it would be better to dry one piece at a time, so I dried all your clothes together. Do you think you are satisfied?"
Wan Laoer quickly took it, turned around and delivered the clothes inside.
At this time, Jia Yanbing also came out from next door.
He walked to Wan Laoer's door and saw a mother and a daughter, one big and one small.
Feng Gu noticed someone behind her, and when she turned around she saw a cold fox mask, and was frightened at first.
But she quickly calmed down.
"Hello uncle, we are here to deliver clothes."
Jia Yanbing nodded, and Fenggu stepped aside to make way.
Only then did Jia Yanbing walk in.
Wan Laoer was taking out money, and there was a pile of bags on the bed.
Jia Yanbing was also shocked when he looked at the bundle on the bed. The speed was simply amazing. So many clothes, in this weather, and all were finished overnight?
Jia Yanbing couldn't help but look back at the two people, one big and one small, standing at the door.
It rained heavily last night, making the weather even colder today. There were icicles everywhere outside, but the mother and daughter didn't even have a cotton jacket. Their hands and faces were frozen red, and their clothes were full of patches.
Especially the woman's hands, her fingers were covered with criss-crossing cracks, some of which were slightly oozing blood, like cracks that appeared after the earth dried up.
The lines on the palms are deep and messy, probably the marks left by countless times of washing and wringing clothes.
When the woman saw Jia Yanbing turning around to look at her, she felt a little helpless. She clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, feeling a little uneasy.
She usually doesn't come out to collect and deliver clothes, but this time there were too many clothes and her daughter couldn't carry them all by herself, so she had to come out to help.
The woman kept her head down, with water droplets on her hair. It should be that the ice crystals outside melted after entering the inn and stayed on the woman's hair. The woman should not be very old, but she looked very haggard.
After all, Feng Gu was only about ten years old, and this woman should be only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but she looked like an old woman in her forties.
Wan Laoer finally dug out a string of copper coins.
"Here, this is your wages."
When the woman saw that Wan Laoer gave her at least a hundred copper coins, she didn't dare to take it.
"Brother, that's too much. You have twenty-three pieces of clothing in total. Just give me twenty-three cents."
"Big sister, take it. You've saved me a lot of trouble. Besides, you must have used a lot of firewood to dry the clothes, right? Firewood also costs money. After all, you will still lose money." When Wan Laoer was rummaging for the money just now, his mind finally came to his senses. He thought that it must have been someone else who dried the clothes, and that drying clothes must require fire.
"No, no, our firewood is free. When Feng Gu and I have nothing to do, we go out of town to chop firewood. We have a lot of dry firewood stored at home, so we don't have to spend money to buy it."
But Wan Laoer insisted on giving it.
The woman refused to take it, and finally Jia Yanbing came over and took the money that the two were pushing and shoving.
"Sister-in-law, take this money. I'll teach you another way to make money."
Jia Yanbing looked at the woman's hand, and his heart moved. He thought of his wife and children who were still living under the roof of his father-in-law's house. It was possible that they were not living a good life. After all, his father-in-law and mother-in-law looked like they were snobbish.
When the two families got married, the Jia family was considered to be marrying of lower status. Every time his father-in-law and mother-in-law saw him, they were polite and respectful. However, they were very cold to their second son-in-law, who came from a not-so-good family. Now that the Jia family has been ransacked, one can imagine how good his father-in-law and mother-in-law can be to his wife and children.
Jia Yanbing's desire to take his wife and children away became stronger, but to do so he had to rely on Wan Laoer and his daughter. He didn't trust anyone else. After all, it was a matter of life and future for their entire family, and he didn't dare to entrust these to a person with bad character.
The woman, Feng Gu, and Wan Lao Er all looked at Jia Yanbing at the same time.
Wan Laoer was happy for Fenggu and her daughter, as they would definitely be able to earn money now.
The woman and Feng Gu were thinking: Who is this person? Why is he helping them?
But Jia Yanbing didn't say anything more, but invited the person into his room. Fubao was still sleeping in Wan Laoer's room, so it was inconvenient to disturb him.
Wan Laoer also wanted to see what method Jia Yanbing had come up with to make money.
The woman and Feng Gu followed Jia Yanbing and entered the guest room nervously and curiously. This was their first time entering a guest room.
They, the people who live here, have washed countless clothes, but have never set foot in the guest rooms of this inn.
After Feng Gu came in, she looked around and secretly sighed in her heart, this house is really nice, it looks comfortable, clean, tidy and bright. If she could live in such a house every day, she would definitely be very happy, right?
The woman didn't dare raise her head or look around, she only looked at the one-foot square area in front of her.
Wan Lao Er followed in and shouted downstairs, "Waiter, bring up the charcoal fire and a pot of hot tea."
"Hey, here I come."
Soon, the waiter brought a pot of charcoal fire and a pot of hot water.
Wan Laoer poured a cup of hot water for both of them.
"Come on, big sister, have a glass of water to warm yourself up."
Wan Laoer pushed the steaming water in front of the woman and pushed another cup in front of Feng Gu.
The woman stood up awkwardly and thanked him: "Thank you, brother. I'm not thirsty. You don't have to bother."
Feng Gu picked up the cup generously, smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, uncle. I'm thirsty."
As she spoke, she stood up and put a glass of water into her mother's hands. The hands of both mother and daughter were freezing cold, and the warmth of the cup of hot water from her palms made Feng Gu very reluctant to leave. She wanted to warm her mother up too.
Wan Laoer moved the charcoal fire closer to the mother and daughter.
Then he sat next to Jia Yanbing.
The woman held the cup and felt that most of the coldness in her body had dissipated. She had stayed up all night last night and had big dark circles under her eyes. Feng Gu was urged by her to sleep for two hours. She really stayed up all night. Baking clothes is a technical job. If you don't watch them, they will easily get burnt. She also has to turn them over from time to time.
"Thank you, brother." The woman said in a low voice and then sat back.
She held the cup in both hands but did not take a sip. She was just craving for the warmth from the cup. The fine porcelain cup was still a little hot, but the woman felt that the temperature was just right.
"Mr. Yan, what method of making money were you trying to find for them? Tell me about it."
Wan Laoer seemed more anxious than the woman and Feng Gu.
