The peasant girl in Space is the group favorite

Chapter 165 persuade
"Hey! It's a pity that a good seedling was ruined like this!" Xu Laosan sighed.

"Who says it's not the case! But his disease is indeed not suitable for being a master, and there is a chance that it will be transmitted to others." Shopkeeper Hong said.

Qibao said: "Grandpa Hong, can you take me to meet this person?"

Shopkeeper Hong said in surprise: "But his illness..."

Qibao said: "It doesn't matter. If this person is really good, I may have a way to cure his disease."

"Girl, are you serious? He has been drinking medicine for a long time but he has not shown any improvement. Are you sure?" Shopkeeper Hong said.

Qibao said: "We will wait until we meet to discuss the details. Even if there is a way to cure him, it still depends on whether he is worth my treatment."

"Okay, he often comes to me to buy medicine. I know where his home is. Now that I have time, I will take you there myself!" Shopkeeper Hong said.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Grandpa Hong."

The three of them got on the carriage. Shopkeeper Hong and Kui Wu agreed on a location, and the carriage started to set off.

Qibao said: "Grandpa Hong, you haven't told me what this person's name is yet!"

Shopkeeper Hong said: "His name is He Jie, and he lives in a slum on the outskirts of the town."

The carriage quickly arrived at the destination. Kui Wu said: "Miss, the carriage in front cannot pass. The road is too narrow! The rest of the road needs to be walked."

Everyone got off the carriage, leaving Kui Wu here to watch. Shopkeeper Tong led the father and daughter into this narrow alley, and said as they walked: "This is a slum that everyone in Huamen Town knows, and the environment is not good. Well, most of the people living here are people with similar circumstances to their families.”

When Qibao walked into this alley, the tip of his nose was filled with the smell that came from sewers. The houses next to him either had a big hole, or a corner of the roof had collapsed, and people could only live on the side that didn't collapse, but this Living in a house is quite dangerous.

Along the way, there were people sitting in front of some houses, with dull eyes, glowing faces, and some holes in their clothes. They looked at Qibao and the other two people passing by with expressions of surprise on their faces.

After all, the clothes Qibao and the three of them wore were symbols of wealth to them, so how could they come to a place like theirs.

The three of them came to the door of an adobe house and knocked on the old and colorful wooden door. A woman's voice came from inside.

"Here, who is it?" Then he heard footsteps getting closer and closer.

With a creak, the wooden door opened from the inside. The woman looked at the three people in front of the door and was stunned. She knew Shopkeeper Hong, so she immediately said: "Shopkeeper Hong, you...why are you here?"

Qibao carefully observed the woman in front of him. In fact, she looked like she was in her 40s. However, her hair was much whiter, which made her actually much older. She was also very thin and had a slutty look on her face. At first glance, it is caused by poor living conditions.

Shopkeeper Hong said politely: "Sister, if it's more convenient, can we go into the room to talk?"

The woman was a little embarrassed and said: "The house is simple. If shopkeeper Hong and the two distinguished guests don't mind, let's come in and talk." Then she stepped aside and let the three of them enter the house.

As soon as Qibao entered the house, he could smell a damp and musty smell, but the house was quite clean.

The woman said embarrassedly: "There are only two stools at home, please forgive me." "It's okay, we can talk standing up. I wonder if He Jie's cough is better?" Shopkeeper Hong said.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Hong, for thinking about it. Jie'er is still like that. He shuts himself in the room all day long in order to copy books to support the family. I advised him to take a break, but the kid just didn't listen." The woman's eyes turned red when she talked about her son. .

"Ahem, mother, it's...cough...who's here? Ahem." A man's voice came from inside, mixed with the sound of coughing.

"Oh, Jie'er, it's shopkeeper Hong who's here, and he's bringing two distinguished guests," the woman responded.

The shabby curtain door was opened from the inside, and a man wearing brown linen clothes walked out. This man was thin, pale, and had quite regular features.

"Ahem, it turns out that shopkeeper Hong... cough... Shopkeeper Hong is here. I wonder what business Mr. Hong has come to Humble House for? Ahem..."

"It's true that something happened. The father and daughter next to me asked me to find a suitable wife for the school in their village, so I thought of you and came here to ask Mr. He if he was willing?" Shopkeeper Hong said.

"Ahem... Shopkeeper Hong, stop joking. How can I be a wife like this? Ahem." He Jie said with a wry smile.

"Grandpa Hong has already told us about your situation. If you are the person we are looking for, maybe we can really cure your cough," Qibao said.

"What? Girl, are you telling the truth? Can you really cure my son's disease?" the woman said excitedly, although she also thought it was impossible. This was just a child saying She shouldn't take it seriously, but as long as there was a slight possibility, she didn't want to give up this opportunity. She also didn't want to see her son suffer from illness every day. Every time she heard her son's rapid coughing in the middle of the night, her heart felt like needles pricking her heart. It hurts just as much.

"Well, otherwise we wouldn't have asked Grandpa Hong to come find you." Qibao said.

The woman became even more excited. She believed in Shopkeeper Hong's character and would never bring anyone to play tricks on them. She quickly begged: "Please help me save my son! I will agree to whatever you say, even if it kills me." I will never say a word about this life!"

"Mom! What are you talking about! Ahem... I don't allow you to say that! Ahem... I only have a relative like you... Ahem..." He Jie said excitedly, but he didn't dare to get too close to his mother, so he He was afraid of passing on his illness to his mother, so he always stood at the door curtain, keeping a certain distance from everyone.

Qibao also had a good first impression of this man and secretly tugged on his father's clothes.

Xu Laosan immediately said: "As long as Mr. He is willing to come to our village to be a master, we will also find a way to cure your cough without you needing to pay a penny."

"This... even Leshan Pharmacy can't cure it. It is estimated that the possibility of curing my son's disease is very slim. It's all my fault. It was me who harmed Jie'er and ruined his future... Wuwu" the woman Thinking about the sadness, I already burst into tears.

"Mom...ahem...don't cry, it's not mom's fault, ahem, it's because I'm weak...ahem...how can I blame mom...cough" He Jie was a little anxious when he saw his mother crying, and hurriedly comforted her.

"Why don't Mr. He choose to believe us for once? I hope that our method can really cure you?" Xu Laosan said.

"That's right, He Jie, I wouldn't have brought them to see you if I wasn't sure." Shopkeeper Hong also said.

"Shopkeeper Hong, don't get me wrong, ahem, it's not that I don't believe you, ahem...it's just that I have never been a wife...ahem, I'm afraid I'm not suitable...ahem."

"It's okay. The children in our village have never been enlightened. I just want them to learn to read and learn some knowledge. I believe that with such a good diploma like the young master, it will be possible. This is also an opportunity for the young master. Could it be that you Do mother and son really want to live in a place like this?" Xu Laosan asked.
