Seeing this, Song Chen hurriedly pulled the reins, and the proud donkey raised its front hooves and almost stopped.
Its donkey eyes widened and it snorted loudly, expressing its displeasure at being blocked.
Song Ning and Song Chen looked at the mother and son kneeling in front of the donkey cart with reluctance.
"Brother, they..." Song Ning's little face was wrinkled into a ball, and she looked at them with a sad expression.
Song Chen had a cold face. He patted his sister Song Ning's hand, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "A Ning! I know you have a kind heart, but now..."
Song Chen also wanted to help the mother and son, but they could hardly protect themselves, let alone help others.
Moreover, they helped this mother and son, but what about the other refugees? How could they help them?
Moreover, once they lend a helping hand to the mother and son, other refugees will surely rush over.
By then, it will be a difficult question whether they can escape unscathed!
He frowned and glanced seriously at the refugees who were watching him eagerly.
These refugees were secretly waiting for the outcome of the mother and son, to see whether they would be helped or be coldly dismissed.
As long as they gave food to the mother and son, the refugees who were watching secretly would surely rush to the donkey cart!
"Miss Feng, we must not lend a helping hand easily! Otherwise... the consequences will be disastrous!" Song Chen approached Feng Jiuyan and said softly.
Song Ning followed her brother's line of sight and was startled. She turned to look at Feng Jiuyan, also a little anxious, "Sister Feng, brother is right, we can't give food to this mother and son, even though... they are very pitiful."
The little girl frowned and uttered these words with difficulty.
Feng Jiuyan was surprised. She thought the brother and sister would persuade her to help the mother and son. Unexpectedly, the brother and sister were sympathetic but they could still make sense in the face of major events!
She likes Song Chen and Song Ning more and more. It is really hard to find teammates who are not saintly and do not hold their teammates back.
The two were not like her. She had seen many tragic scenes like this in the six years of the apocalypse.
Therefore, Feng Jiuyan didn't feel any ripples in her heart.
When helping others, you should also help them under the premise of protecting yourself. Otherwise, you will only let yourself, your relatives, friends, teammates, etc. fall into an endless abyss.
While the three were talking, Feng Jiuli and Madam Feng in the carriage were startled by the wailing outside.
"What happened?" Feng Jiuli opened the door a crack and poked his head out. He immediately saw the pitiful mother and son kneeling in front of his donkey cart.
The woman looked up and saw a cute little boy with fair skin sticking out of the donkey cart.
She felt that this was an opportunity to get food.
The woman thought to herself that this family also had children, and these noble people would surely save their own children for the sake of the children.
So, the woman stopped begging Feng Jiuyan and the other two and turned to beg Feng Jiuli.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The woman held the child and banged her head heavily on the ground. Her forehead was already bulging, and some blood was oozing from the broken skin. But she didn't seem to feel any pain, and continued to bang her head heavily on the ground, begging bitterly.
"Young Master, please save my child. He is about the same age as you, and he is still young. He can't just starve to death. Please, young master, help us, save my child. As long as you give us some food, my son and I are willing to work like slaves for you, woooooo~~~"
Before Feng Jiuli could speak, Madam Feng also leaned out, with an expression of reluctance on her face. But no matter how much she sympathized with the woman and pitied her, she could not give the food to the mother and son on her own initiative.
Whether to give food or not is entirely up to her daughter. She must not agree to it on her own initiative just because of her compassion.
If her daughter were to get into trouble because of her womanizing views, she would not regret dying a thousand times!
So, she decided to ask her daughter for her opinion.
Madam Feng frowned, looked at her daughter, and asked tentatively, "Ayan, they..."
Feng Jiuli also looked at her sister eagerly.
Seeing this, the woman who had been observing the reactions of the others realized that the fairy-like girl on the shaft of the cart was the head of this family. She knelt forward and looked at Feng Jiuyan with sorrowful eyes, "Fairy, please save my child. As long as you are willing to give us some food, I am willing to work like a cow or a horse for you."
After saying that, the woman kowtowed to the ground again.
Feng Jiuyan glanced at the woman, turned around, and looked at his mother and brother with a smile on his face, "Mother, I'll take care of everything, don't worry. You and your brother stay in the carriage first, I'll take care of this matter."
Madam Feng was stunned for a moment, but said no more. "Okay!" She glanced at the woman who was still lying on the ground looking at them eagerly, then hugged Feng Jiuli, sat back in the carriage, and closed the door tightly.
Song Ning looked at Feng Jiuyan, feeling a little nervous, "Sister Feng, what should we do next?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"
After saying that, Feng Jiuyan took the reins from Song Chen's hand, shook the reins, adjusted the direction, and made the arrogant donkey turn a corner and bypass the woman.
The woman kneeling on the ground was shocked. After she came to her senses, the last bit of hope in her heart was gone.
She hugged her child tightly, kneeling on the ground and crying in despair, "Ahhh! Wuuuu, you rich people are so cruel! I don't want your money, I just want you to give me a little bit of food, a little bit of food can save my child. But you, wuuuu, you actually stood by and watched coldly, ahhh wow wow wow——"
"Haha, that's right. If it were me, I would never do such a thing. What's more, everyone knows that there are so many supplies in your donkey cart that you can't finish eating them. Why don't you save such a poor child when you see him?" a woman said casually.
The woman spoke loudly, deliberately so that the refugees could hear her.
The person who said this undoubtedly wanted to push Feng Jiuyan's family to the forefront and put them in danger of death.
Sure enough, as soon as the woman finished speaking, many refugees looked at Feng Jiuyan's family with eager eyes. Some refugees unconsciously approached Feng Jiuyan's donkey cart.
Feng Jiuyan looked over coldly and saw that the woman who was speaking had a horse face, a long face, narrow cheeks, a thin and pointed chin, and thin lips, which made her look sarcastic and mean.
Feng Jiuyan had a deep impression of this woman, because every time this horse-faced woman would spare no effort to apply eye drops to Feng Jiuyan in front of the officials.
The last time when they were picking chestnuts, the horse-faced woman and her family were the first to ridicule Feng Jiuyan's family.
And yesterday afternoon, when every household sent people up the mountain to look for food, when Madam Feng Er said in front of the official's door that she must have escaped, the horse-faced woman and her family also echoed her.
The horse-faced woman's family was extremely jealous of Feng Jiuyan's family, and they were the ones who were trying to trip up Feng Jiuyan's family behind their backs.
