The person in front of me is the mother of the little boy who was choked before.
Wen Niang bowed slightly towards her and explained with a smile.
“My home is in this village.”
The old woman turned to face her and said, "You came back early today. It seems that business is good."
When talking about this, Wen Niang looked very happy.
"Yes, I met a big customer today, and I'm here to deliver medicine to you."
As she spoke, she took out two medicine bags from the basket.
Aunt Li kept bowing and thanking her.
"Thank you, thank you, Wen girl. If it weren't for your family's help, Cheng'er and I would have nowhere to stay now."
Wen Niang quickly waved her hand and supported her.
"Don't be like this, Auntie. We can't help you much, by the way!"
She counted out more than thirty copper coins from her purse and handed them to the old woman.
"Ma'am, this is the money for mending your clothes."
Seeing the pattern embroidered on the purse, Chu You narrowed his eyes slightly.
Seeing the handful of copper coins, the old woman quickly pushed her hands away.
"That's impossible. Auntie knows you are kindhearted. I only mended a few clothes. How can I have so much?"
"Besides, the few copper coins I have are barely enough to buy medicine, right?"
She sighed slightly in her heart.
Wen Niang was a good child. She knew that they were having a hard time and often came to help them.
Knowing that she didn't want to accept favors for nothing, he helped her find a job as a tailor and mender.
I can barely earn enough food to eat every day.
Wen Niang forced the copper coin into her hand.
"Just take it. This is what you deserve. Last time you helped me embroider a sachet and sold it for forty coins. This is the leftover from buying medicine."
"This, so much?!"
The old woman was dumbfounded.
Wen Niang smiled and nodded, "That's right, so I came here today to discuss with you. You have embroidery skills, do you want to sell embroidery with me in the future?"
The old woman was touched by what she said, but there was still some worry on her face.
"Can it be done? How can my embroidery be compared to yours? Can I make money from this?"
Wen Niang patted her hands in an encouraging tone.
"Of course, we don't need to embroider too much. If we embroider four or five pieces a month, after deducting the cost of needlework and fabric, you can earn at least a hundred coins!"
As she spoke, she glanced at the thatched house and added in a low voice.
"It can also help Cheng Qing replenish his body, right?"
The old woman glanced at the room behind her and clenched the copper coins in her hand tightly.
Since she could sell them, she would embroider more so that Cheng'er wouldn't have to worry about medicine.
Maybe I can save some money for Cheng'er so that he can marry a good wife in the future...
Thinking of this, her face became determined.
"Okay, thank you, Niang Wen."
The two of them became happier as they talked.
Especially Aunt Li, her eyes were full of light, full of anticipation and hope for the future.
Seeing her like this, Chu Yaoyao felt a slight pain in the tip of her nose and eyes, and her mood became even heavier.
[If nothing happened afterwards, how nice it would be. ]
[The old lady tried really hard to live well with her grandson...]
Hearing this, Chu You let out a long breath, raised his hand and rubbed the little guy's head, silently comforting him.
"That's settled then. I'll go back and bring you the cloth and thread right away."
After waving goodbye to the excited old lady, Wen Niang walked back quickly.
"Wait a minute!"
Chu You shouted.
Hearing the sound, Wen Niang slapped her forehead in annoyance.
"Look at my brain. I actually forgot my benefactor."
Then she smiled and said, "Would you like to come to my house for a cup of tea and rest your feet?"
Chu You took two steps forward holding Yaoyao and glanced at the purse in the basket seemingly casually.
"Has this lady ever been to Mount Xiyue?"
Hearing this, Wen Niang's expression suddenly changed. She lowered her head awkwardly, her eyes wandering, and she explained haltingly.
Chu Yaoyao frowned and recalled carefully.
【Xiyue, Wenniang...】
Suddenly, her eyes widened.
[I remember now, she has evidence that proves the hero poisoned the villain's mother! ]
[Although the one who did it was the hero's mother, the poison was found by the hero, so he is also an accomplice! ]
Hearing this, Chu You widened his eyes slightly.
This person is actually such an identity? ! In this case, this matter needs to be informed to Shangguan Jin as soon as possible.
Firstly, it can be used to deal with the male protagonist, and secondly, it can be regarded as repaying Shangguan Jin's favor for helping to deliver the message.
His frowning and thoughtful look made Wen Niang and the old woman feel uneasy.
Both of them looked nervous.
After thinking about it, Chu You's expression softened and he explained softly.
"I see. I just found the embroidery method a little special, so I asked. I hope you won't mind, madam."
"We brothers and sisters will not come to disturb you today."
Hearing this, Wen Niang breathed a sigh of relief and bent her knees slightly.
"I'll take my leave first."
Then Chu You looked at the old woman, "Old lady, can we come to your house and ask for some water to drink?"
Hearing this, Chu Yaoyao licked her lips in cooperation.
"Grandma, I'm so thirsty."
"Okay, okay, if you don't mind, please come in."
The old woman quickly opened the wooden door and invited them in.
When they came into the main room, the old woman brought a few bowls and poured water for them.
"Don't worry, everyone. This is the water I boiled this morning."
Chu You secretly looked at the furnishings in the house. Although they were simple, they were clean and tidy.
Chu Yaoyao held the bowl and gulped down half a bowl of boiled water.
Just now on the road, she had snacks and milk, and she was really thirsty.
“Cough cough cough…”
A cough was heard and the old woman's face suddenly changed. She didn't even bother to say a word and ran into the room in a panic.
"Cheng'er!"
Chu Yaoyao stood up from the stool and followed with her short legs.
Seeing her go in, Chu You also put down his bowl, stood up and followed her.
There was a young man lying in the room with a pale face and wooden boards clamped on his right arm and left leg.
At this moment he was coughing and gasping for breath, with big beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Why aren't you eating again?!"
Following the sound, several people looked over and saw a bowl of white porridge on the wooden bench next to the bed.
The old woman questioned sternly, her voice slightly choked with sobs.
"How can you get better if you don't eat well?!"
"Ahem, grandma, I'm just a useless person, why should I waste food?"
Fang Chengqing's self-destructive look made the old woman unable to control her emotions any longer. She felt so disappointed in him that she cried and slapped his intact arm.
"What do you mean? You don't want to live, you want my life!"
"If you are like this now, how can I explain to your parents when I go to the underworld? How can I explain to your grandfather and all the ancestors of the Fang family?!"
The old woman's strength in beating him became weaker and weaker, and finally she burst into tears.
"You want me to become the sinner of the Fang family!"
"grandmother!"
Fang Chengqing raised his arm and placed it over his eyes. One could faintly see that the area of his sleeve above his eyes was gradually getting wet.
"You have worked hard for most of your life. I am an unfilial grandson and cannot let you enjoy your old age. Now...
"Just let me fend for myself, so as not to burden you!"
"Shut up... I'll beat you..."
Hearing this, the old woman's lips trembled with anger. She suddenly raised her hand high, but then put it down tremblingly.
She collapsed directly onto the ground, as if all her energy had been drained out of her, and her body became increasingly hunched.
"Just now, Wen Niang from the hunter Liu family came and said she had found a job for me...
We can earn nearly a hundred coins a month, and our family's life will soon improve..."
