An An tightly grasped the string of copper coins and knelt on the ground. Her grandmother wanted to reach out to stop her, but she kowtowed three times.
"Grandma, I'm leaving. Take care."
Grandma sighed, held her forehead and waved her hands, and said worriedly:
"Girl, be careful!"
An An looked at his grandmother again, nodded heavily, and ran out the door.
Looking at her hurriedly leaving figure, grandma murmured,
"What a sin! Such a young child! God bless her and let her find her family safely!"
An An trotted out of Fanjiatun and came to the official road.
There are two directions here, one facing north, which is the direction of the capital, and the other facing south, which is the direction of Yancheng.
She stood at the intersection, hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely walked south.
If she went north and didn't reach the capital, she would definitely meet the couple who claimed to be her parents, and then she would be caught.
It would be better to go in the opposite direction and go to Yancheng. As grandma said, if she is lucky, she may meet merchants going to the capital. Even if she doesn't, she can find a way to find a carriage. Otherwise, with her walking speed, she may not be able to walk back to the capital in ten days or half a month.
Her petite figure walking on this official road looked so frail and helpless.
…
Fanjiatun is not far from the capital, and Daya and the man took half a day to reach the capital.
At Fan Tiancheng's request, they bought some food in the city and went straight to their sister-in-law's house.
Daya kept chattering along the way.
"Da Hu and Er Mei haven't even tasted these foods yet, and someone else is taking advantage of them. The more I think about it, the angrier I get."
Fan Tiancheng glared at her unhappily.
"Our family has been relying on our eldest sister's family for support all these years. How can you be so heartless?"
"You have no conscience. Her family is so poor that they can barely afford to eat, and the food they can give us is limited. And you're giving us five taels of silver. That's five taels of silver. My heart aches as if a piece of flesh has been gouged out."
"Stop nagging me. Be careful if you do something bad, or I'll tell everyone about it."
Hearing this, Daya stopped talking, glared at Fan Tiancheng hatefully, and stopped talking.
The carriage stopped at the door of Old Wu's house. Before anyone could get in, Daya started yelling,
"Sister, we are here."
It turned out that Daya and Fan Tiancheng were Old Wu's uncles, that is, Old Wu's mother's younger brother and sister-in-law.
A few days ago, when they came to visit Old Wu's family, they met Leng Xi, which led to the decision to bring An An back to Fanjiatun.
Old Wu came out to greet them. When he saw Daya and Fan Tiancheng, he immediately shook his head and sighed:
"Uncle, aunt, please don't come. We have nothing to eat at home. My mother told you last time you came that I have lost my job and my life is almost in danger. I don't know what to do in the future. I can't help you anymore."
Seeing that Old Wu was about to chase them away, Daya curled her lips and sneered in disdain:
"Nephew, we are not here to take anything this time, we are here to give something to you. Don't look down on us. Your uncle and aunt are rich now, so they don't need to come to your house to borrow rice or noodles anymore."
As she spoke, she took two bags of food from the car and held them proudly above her head. Old Wu looked at them in surprise, hardly able to believe his eyes.
Fan Tiancheng pushed Daya and said to Old Wu with a smile:
"We're here to bring some food to Tianwang. This child hasn't had any good food since he was a child. Oh, and here's five taels of silver. Take it and find a good doctor for Tianwang to take a good look at his illness."
silver?
Old Wu looked at the silver in Fan Tiancheng's hand and looked at him with disbelief.
"Uncle, where did you get this?"
Daya snorted complacently.
"Humph! Why don't you welcome us in and prepare some tea for us? We're here to give you the money you need to save your life, so we should be considered honored guests in your home!"
As she spoke, she proudly squeezed into the door carrying the two bags. Old Wu also quickly welcomed Fan Tiancheng into the yard.
Tianwang was very weak and needed rest. When Tianwang's grandmother heard Daya's cry, she hurriedly hid the supplements and food sent by Princess Yu.
These are her grandson's life-saving food, and she can no longer lend them to Daya and the others. In the past, when they came, they took whatever was available at home. They were already poor enough, and now they were being dragged down by Daya's family. She was really helpless.
"Big sister..."
As soon as Daya's shout reached the door, Grandma Tianwang came out and blocked her outside.
"Daya, why are you here?"
Daya picked up the things in her hand and raised her face proudly.
"Let's send some food to Tianwang. Where's Tianwang? I'll go in and see him."
"He needs to rest now, let's talk outside."
"What's wrong? Is Tianwang sick again?"
As she spoke, she turned around and shouted:
"Tiancheng, bring the silver and let my elder sister take Tianwang to see a doctor."
silver?
Grandma Tianwang looked at her in surprise.
"What silver? Where did you get the silver?"
Fan Tiancheng brought the five taels of silver and sat down opposite Grandma Tianwang. He placed the silver on the table and said with a guilty look on his face:
"Sister, don't worry about where this money came from. Just use it to treat Tianwang's illness."
"Tiancheng, did you do something wrong? Steal? Rob? You can't do anything wrong. Your nephew almost lost his head because he stole things from the military camp. If it weren't for Princess Yu's rescue, he wouldn't have the chance to stand here and speak now. You don't dare to do anything wrong."
