So much time has passed.
The child has grown up.
Sheng Qian still recognized her at a glance as the little girl she had met on her first visit to the county town.
On that occasion, the girl's mother even tried to steal her things, and in the car, she even gave the little girl steamed buns to eat.
Therefore, I remember the child's appearance very clearly.
Sheng Qian pulled the little girl behind her. Before she could speak, Dai Jianwen and the others immediately went up to stop the woman who was hitting her and helped the woman on the ground up.
The baby in her arms was still crying loudly.
Sheng Qian originally didn't want to get involved in such matters, but since Dai Jianwen and the others had made a move, she had no choice but to step forward.
The woman was pulled back several steps, and when she suddenly saw several burly men surrounding her, she turned pale with fear.
The ferocity he had shown earlier vanished instantly.
He pointed at the woman holding the child and began to hurl insults: "You slut, you seduced my man and had many other women outside. Bah, calling you a slut is too lenient."
"What are you doing? You want to hit someone?" Dai Jianwen and his gang used to be rascals, but they had occasionally shown kindness.
They naturally had to put on a good show in front of Sheng Qian.
That's why they took action.
"Are you alright?"
Sheng Qian walked up to the woman and asked in a calm voice.
The girl wiped away her tears, hugged the woman's leg tightly, and looked timidly at the person who had rescued them.
The woman froze the moment she saw Sheng Qian's face.
Compared to when they first met, Sheng Qian is even more beautiful now.
The woman almost didn't recognize her.
"It's you..."
"Are you all alright?" Sheng Qian asked again to confirm.
"Thank you," the woman said, bowing to them as she held her child in her arms.
“We’ll be going now, nothing else,” Sheng Qian said as she walked past the woman.
Dai Jianwen and the others quickly followed.
The woman realized what was happening and rushed forward, grabbing Sheng Qian's sleeve.
The woman was beaten until she was covered in filth, looking like a beggar.
Their expressions were also pitiful.
"Help me..."
Sheng Qian looked down and frowned: "Why should I save you?"
The woman's face turned deathly pale instantly.
yes.
Even sisters can't do this, let alone strangers.
Why should the other party save her?
The woman lowered her eyes and clutched Sheng Qian's clothes tightly: "I can do anything for you, please take in my two poor children."
A woman with no money or power, raising two children, had no way out.
Not only that, but they will also be despised by others.
She couldn't hold on any longer.
Sheng Qian looked at the woman in front of her and asked, "What can you give me?"
"I... I can do your laundry and cook for you, anything I can do!" The woman clung tightly to Sheng Qian's clothes, afraid that if she let go, no one would ever let her hold on to her again.
The little girl looked at Sheng Qian with her clear, dark eyes.
Even the child in the woman's arms stopped crying and stared at Sheng Qian with wet, dark eyes.
Sheng Qian's voice remained indifferent: "I don't need someone to do laundry and cook for me."
"Then what do you need me to do? I can learn!" The woman panicked a little.
Sheng Qian said, "I need someone who knows how to do business."
Doing business?
The woman swallowed hard, her voice hoarse, "I...I only know how to make tobacco..."
"oh?"
Sheng Qian was somewhat surprised.
“My family used to make our own loose tobacco to sell, so I know how to do this… Do you think this will work?” The woman looked at Sheng Qian nervously. Seeing that Sheng Qian did not react, she thought that Sheng Qian did not know about tobacco, so she explained, “We grow our own tobacco, dry it and cut it into strips to sell. If we have money, we can make it a big business.”
"How much do you know?" Sheng Qian asked leisurely after the woman finished speaking.
The woman explained the entire process of making tobacco.
The woman spoke these words with practiced ease.
Sheng Qian knew she wasn't lying.
Dai Jianwen and the others stood to one side, watching Sheng Qian.
Isn't this woman in front of me the one Sheng Qian is looking for?
Sheng Qian originally intended to bring them here to work in the tobacco industry, and now they just happened to run into someone who knew how to do it.
Sheng Qian said, "I can arrange a place for you to stay, but whether you can bring me any benefit still needs to be determined after investigation."
Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up instantly!
"Thank you, thank you..."
The woman pulled her daughter over and bowed gratefully to Sheng Qian.
Sheng Qian said to Dai Jianwen, "Let's go back first."
"Should we take them to stay over there?"
“Let’s cancel the lease on that place and find a quieter spot,” Sheng Qian said, glancing at the child in the woman’s arms. “The child is sick.”
The woman was taken aback.
I don't know how Sheng Qian figured it out.
Sheng Qian found another place for the three of them to stay.
Inside the room, the woman finished tidying herself up and came out, only to see Sheng Qian taking the child's pulse and then pulling open her clothes to look at the thin body.
Sheng Qian took out some medicine from her spatial storage and gave it to her. "He took the medicine twice today. He has some stomach problems. Here's 100 yuan. Take it and buy some food for the child. Also, I've paid for ten days' worth of expenses here. You can stay here temporarily. I need to go back to my hometown."
Upon hearing the word "returning home," the woman couldn't help but shrink back.
"I, I..."
"I'm giving you these things in the hope that you'll reciprocate. I hope you'll give me something of equal value in return, so that all my efforts won't be in vain."
As long as it's related to interests, there won't be too deep an entanglement.
This is the best kind of relationship.
Sheng Qian told herself that she no longer needed to be soft-hearted.
"Thank you, I will do my best to help you!"
