The two exchanged a glance. Ah Lian?
Who is Ah Lian?
When did they meet a person named Ah Lian?
Looking at the person named A-Lian in front of them, they had no recollection of her at all. She was dirty and disheveled, and their faces were barely visible. They all felt that they did not recognize her.
However, this person seemed to know Mo Qinghe and could call out Mo Qinghe's surname.
Su Nanxi gave him a dangerous look, and Mo Qinghe jumped up immediately, looking at Su Nanxi with an innocent expression. He really didn't recognize her!
Su Nanxi snorted: How would I know you? If I didn't know you, how would I know your surname is Mo? You're not honest at all!
Mo Qinghe felt extremely wronged: "How would I know what happened! But I swear to God, I really don't know this person! I'm very honest, I haven't lied to anyone at all! Wife, you have to believe me! You can't wrong me!"
Su Nanxi thought about it and agreed. They didn't know the situation yet, so they couldn't jump to conclusions. They should figure it out first!
Su Nanxi pulled Mo Qinghe back a few steps and asked calmly, "We don't remember knowing you, so how do you know us?"
The person could only be identified as a girl. Upon hearing Su Nanxi's question, she should have answered Su Nanxi, but instead, she answered Mo Qinghe.
This made both Mo Qinghe and Su Nanxi dislike her; she seemed like a scheming person!
What kind of situation is this? You still don't understand the situation or know your place!
“I am A-Lian! I was scared unconscious by a tiger while we were fleeing famine. You saved me! I was very scared at the time, and you took me in for a while. Do you remember?”
Ah Lian began to speak pitifully.
Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe suddenly realized, "Oh, it was that A-Lian!"
No wonder you still have so many thoughts on your mind!
If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't remember. Who would remember those lively little people?
I thought that after we parted, we would never have the chance to meet again, but I never expected that fate would allow us to meet again!
How did this person escape here?
That's pretty good at surviving!
It's amazing that they managed to pull through and make it this far!
He's quite a talent!
But what does this have to do with them?
We just know each other; we're not really friends!
Seeing Ah Lian's disheveled appearance, Su Nanxi could guess what she was going to say next.
She just wants them to help her out. She's in a pitiful state right now, with nothing to eat or drink, and probably no relatives left!
If she hadn't met them, she might have starved to death, etc.!
Familiar routines are generally not easily changed!
Mo Qinghe didn't even look at her; he only looked at Su Nanxi, his eyes only on her, waiting for her to make a decision.
My wife has the final say; whatever she says, I'll do!
Su Nanxi glanced at Alian. Alian's eyes showed mostly disappointment, nothing else. She didn't know if it was because she had experienced a lot and learned to keep her feelings to herself, or if she had really lost interest.
However, Su Nanxi did not believe that a person could change their deepest desires; they simply did not show it because they lacked the means to do so.
Therefore, he did not lower his guard against A-Lian, nor did he show her any leniency.
"Oh, we remember now! You're Ah Lian! Why did you run out all by yourself? Where are your family? Why aren't they with you? Don't wander around, it's dangerous outside. Go home as soon as possible! Your family is probably waiting for you!"
Su Nanxi's tone was very flat, without any fluctuations, making it impossible to discern her true feelings.
When A-Lian saw that they were about to leave, she panicked and quickly shouted, "I'm lost from my family! I'm all alone! Can you please take me in again? I just arrived here and have nowhere to stay. I'm cold and hungry, and I'm really suffering!"
Su Nanxi chuckled inwardly. Just as she suspected, she was right!
"Why should we take you in? We're just acquaintances, not close friends! Besides, we're in a tough spot ourselves and can't help you!"
Su Nanxi said this on purpose to see if A-Lian was still as arrogant as before.
Upon hearing this, A-Lian panicked and immediately knelt down, pleading with Su Nanxi and the others to take her in. She said she would do anything for them, all she wanted was to live!
If A-Lian had become angry and scolded Su Nanxi, Su Nanxi would have left without looking back. But she only pleaded and didn't say anything else, so Su Nanxi couldn't just stand by and watch her die!
Looking at Ah Lian's appearance, her clothes were tattered and thin, and she was shivering from the cold. If we didn't help her, she probably wouldn't be able to get through it.
They haven't done anything wrong, they're just a bit scheming. If we didn't see it, we could have let it go. But now that they're begging us so desperately, it would be really unreasonable not to lend a hand.
Su Nanxi did help in the end, but she didn't take the person back. She just asked Yan Feng to arrange for her to stay in a thatched hut, providing her with food for a few days, as well as warm clothes and bedding.
Yan Feng told A Lian that if she wanted to survive, she had to work hard herself. No one would help her forever, because no one owed her anything.
Before leaving, he also told her that as long as you have hands and feet and are not afraid of hard work, you will always be able to find work in the city and you won't starve to death!
How you live is your own choice, but what kind of life you become is your own ability!
After enjoying two comfortable days, Ah Lian began to fantasize that every day could be this good. However, her fantasy was shattered not long afterward!
After Yan Feng left, he never came back.
Su Nanxi did say she would help Alian, but she didn't owe Alian anything. It was just an emergency measure. After things calmed down, what Alian did next was her own business!
She wouldn't interfere anymore, because she knew that Ah Lian would soon have her own ideas.
When Yan Feng returned and reported, he said, "That A-Lian seems to be enjoying her life to the fullest, completely carefree and without a care in the world! She hasn't thought about what to do in the future at all, and she's even acting like a rich young lady! It's absolutely disgusting!"
Tsk!
She may not have the life of a young lady, but she certainly has the mindset of one!
Fortunately, my master is smart and saw through that person a long time ago; he shouldn't have helped him!
If we continue to help them, they'll definitely become a menace!
From then on, Su Nanxi stopped paying attention to Alian's affairs and didn't ask Yan Feng to deliver anything again.
If Ah Lian could really harden her heart, not be afraid of hardship, and work hard to find work in the city, she could secretly help her a little. But as for other things, sorry, she couldn't help!
The weather suddenly changed again, with strong winds and heavy rain pouring down relentlessly, threatening to sweep the world away!
Looking at the brightening sky, Su Nanxi muttered, "Is this a typhoon or a cold wind?"
Anyway, whatever the wind, it's coming on strong!
The rain gradually weakened after two days, but it was still raining, just less.
When the rain stopped, the world had changed!
People living in low-lying areas are moving to higher ground, while those living in high-lying areas are repairing their houses.
"I haven't heard about any casualties yet, but a lot of people have fallen ill, and pharmacies and clinics are overflowing with patients! The symptoms are all pretty much the same!"
