"Miss Yun, Miss Yun, wait a minute!"
Su Luo turned around and looked at Xu San in confusion.
Xu San smiled wryly: "Miss Yun, you don't want to buy them some quilts, do you?"
Su Luo nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, Zhao Erya's family is really poor. The old bedding is moldy. I stayed there for two days and sneezed every day. The smell is simply..."
Su Luo was at a loss for words and could only shake her head and say, "So I bought them some cotton pads and quilts, what's wrong?"
Xu San smiled bitterly, "Miss Yun, you're just happy with your purchases. Have you ever thought about how they'll feel when they receive these brand new beddings?"
Su Luo stared at Xu San: "What do you mean?"
Xu San: "Miss Yun, you have never been poor, so it is difficult for you to understand the mentality of us poor people. Good things are good, but they attract too much attention and will arouse the envy of many people. In the future, Zhao Erya's family will inevitably be ostracized in the village."
Su Luo: “…”
Xu San: "From Erya's and the others' perspective, they wouldn't want to owe you too much, or they'd feel uneasy. Besides, they can't sleep too well. If they have brand new bedding, what about clothes? What about food? What about housing? Don't they need to have the same? People are greedy. Don't tempt their inner desires with these things. They can't stand the test!"
Su Luo couldn't help but look at Xu San.
Xu San: "What are you doing?"
Su Luo smiled: "Oh, not bad, you make a very clear point. So what do you think we should do?"
Su Luo had to reflect on herself from the inside.
It's not that she doesn't understand, but she thinks such a small matter can be ignored... It is indeed as Xu San said, human hearts cannot stand the test. If Zhao Erya's family wants to get rich, they have to rely on themselves in the end.
So Su Luo decided that it was better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. After returning to Zhaojia Village, she taught Zhao Erya a few more tricks.
Even as Su Luo was thinking, Xu San had already spoken: "Miss Yun, brand new bedding is really too expensive. A complete set will cost at least five taels of silver. If you want to buy a good one, it will cost more than ten taels. Do you want to buy several sets?"
Su Luo: "Everyone should have a set of bedding."
Xu San smiled bitterly, "Okay, one set for each person, that would cost at least several dozen taels of silver. The whole Zhao Village would be in an uproar. It would be too eye-catching. It's terrible to be flattered to death by someone without any real ability!"
Su Luo: "Stop talking nonsense! What you mean is to buy cheap, old bedding that others have discarded."
Xu San smiled and gave a thumbs-up: "Miss Yun is wise."
Su Luo kicked him and said, "What a wise guy! Why don't you lead the way?"
Xu San: "Okay, okay."
Xu San was indeed very familiar with the town. He took Su Luo through many twists and turns, walked through three alleys, and finally arrived at a house with peeling paint on the gate.
Boom boom boom——
The door opened, and it was an old lady who walked with a trembling gait.
Su Luo noticed that the old lady had some difficulty with her right foot. When she walked, she did not use a cane but a stool.
The stool was at the height of her abdomen. The old lady moved the stool forward, and with the help of this force, her body was also moved forward a step.
"Auntie Cheng." Xu San went up to her warmly and supported her.
Aunt Cheng was obviously familiar with Xu San. She was very happy to see him and nodded with a smile, but her eyes soon fell on Su Luo.
