Chapter 58 Mother is leaving
Seeing her resistance, Wen Ling asked in confusion: "Weren't you just selling yourself? And you said you were very obedient and willing to do anything I asked you to do?"
When the little girl heard this, she was no longer afraid. She knelt down in front of Wen Ling again and began to kowtow: "Yes, Madam, I am not lying. I only need three taels of silver to sell myself. I am very capable and am willing to do any rough or hard work!"
Wen Ling nodded: "I see. Then you can eat the buns first. I am very satisfied with you. If you continue to starve to death, I won't be able to buy you."
The little girl then took the bun. The delicious meat bun made her no longer doubt whether the bun was poisonous or not.
Besides, there was no need to poison the meat buns of such a luxuriously dressed lady because she was already starving to death.
The little girl took the meat bun and wolfed it down in just a few bites.
Xiaofa couldn't bear it and gave her two more meat buns.
But she put the meat bun in her arms and was reluctant to eat it.
"Why don't you eat anymore?" Xiao Fa asked, afraid that she was afraid that Wen Ling would get angry if she ate too much, and explained: "It's okay, our wife is a very kind person, she won't get angry if you eat a few more."
The little girl said shyly, "One is enough for me. I want to leave some for my mother and brother. They have been hungry for days."
"You have a younger brother? Is he your biological brother?" Xiaofa asked in surprise.
"Yes, he and I are twins, but my brother was in poor health when he was born, and now he is sick with my mother..." the little girl answered honestly.
Xiaofa turned around and looked at Wen Ling, with some excitement in his eyes.
If the little girl is really the descendant of General Weiwu, then the descendant of General Weiwu also has a son!
Wen Ling knew that this was not about favoring boys over girls, but rather the limitations of the times. In this dynasty, if one wanted to establish a family and gain a high position, one had to be a son.
If the mighty general's descendants have sons, they will be descendants who can establish their own family.
Wen Ling said, "Can you take us to your home to meet your mother and brother?"
The little girl became alert again: "Why do you want to see my mother and brother?"
This alert attitude was a little unusual, as if she had encountered something before.
Wen Ling said, "Because you just told someone that your mother is sick. If I want to buy you, of course I have to know what disease your family has and whether it is contagious. If it is contagious, I can't buy you."
The little girl thought what Wen Ling said made sense, but she was still a little confused: "Then... why did you insist on buying me? There are many girls of my age here..."
That’s right, there were a group of people standing around with sparkling eyes, looking at the meat buns in Xiaofa’s hand, and they all wanted to be bought.
Wen Ling said directly: "Because you look very much like an old friend of my maid when she was a child, I think you have a connection, so I want to buy you, and I'm helping you.
Of course, if you doubt us and are unwilling, then forget it, we won’t force you. ”
Wen Ling meant her last sentence seriously. She helps people based on fate.
When she met this little girl, it was natural for her to help her.
But if the other party doesn't want to, she will respect the little girl's fate.
Seeing Wen Ling turning around and wanting to leave, the little girl got anxious. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see my mother and my brother!"
The worst outcome is that no one buys her today, and their whole family may not survive more than three days.
As the little girl led the way to her home, she introduced herself as Xiaohui and her twin brother as Xiaocong.
After wandering around in the slums, I finally saw a tattered tent in a small corner where there was no sunlight.
Tents were built on the ruins, and the patched oil shed was hung on a mud wall that could collapse at any time, with wind blowing in from all sides.
There were only two beds made of straw inside, and at a glance, one could see the entire situation in the room.
There were two skinny figures, one big and one small, lying on the bed. They must be Xiaohui's mother and brother.
Wen Ling took a look at their appearance and confirmed that Xiaohui and Xiaocong were indeed siblings. They had the same fate, and the woman who was left with only one breath was their biological mother.
Wen Ling frowned slightly when he saw the woman.
She thought about it and reminded him, "Xiaohui, your mother's fate has come. She has been ill from overwork. Her illness has been delayed for too long. Even if we invite the imperial physician to use the best medicine now, she will not recover.
She should have about another hour to live, so if you want to say anything, hurry up and say it. ”
Xiao Hui was stunned. She didn't dare to believe what Wen Ling said, but seeing her mother was dying, she couldn't say anything to refute...
Strangely, the woman who had just been lying unconscious on the bed actually opened her eyes and woke up after Wen Ling finished speaking.
She propped herself up and sat up, waving at Xiao Hui: "Hui Er, come here."
"Mom, you're awake?!" Xiaohui was extremely surprised because her mother had been in a coma for three or four days. She had only opened her eyes during that time and didn't even have the strength to speak a word.
She said to Wen Ling: "Look, my mother is awake, she is awake, you must have seen it wrong, please help me find a doctor to treat my mother!"
Wen Ling looked at Xiaohui with pity, she knew that this was a last gasp.
But she didn't tell Xiaohui, instead she winked at the guard next to her and said, "Go get the doctor."
She didn't like to see people's despair, even at the last moment.
The woman lying on the bed waved to the little girl again: "Hui'er, there is no need to call a doctor for me. Come here. I have something to say to you."
Xiaohui also felt something was wrong. It seemed like her mother was leaving some last words.
She trotted to the woman, knelt down beside the bed, and raised her tearful face: "Mom, please don't leave. You are the only relative my brother and I have. If you leave, what will we do?"
The woman also cried, but she had no choice. How could she want to die leaving behind such a pair of children?
But things are unpredictable and she has no choice.
The woman took off a wooden bracelet from her hand and put it in Xiaohui's hand: "Hui'er, this is what your father left for me before he left. He said he would come back to marry me, but he broke his promise.
He doesn't know you exist either. After I leave, if you still have the ability, continue to look for your father.
His last name is Ji, his family is rich, he will definitely be able to raise you well,
If you find him, please ask him why he broke his promise.
If you can't find it, you and your brother must live strong together.
Mother is useless. Mother is a useless person. I have tried my best to protect you.
Xiaohui, I'm sorry for you, but I love you..."
"Mom!" Xiao Hui collapsed: "Don't leave, Dad is a bad man, I don't want Daddy!!"
