The sturdy peasant girl in space

Chapter 1434 The Truth Behind
"This depends on whether he has a criminal record. If he doesn't have a criminal record, he can be educated and let him go. If he has one, then he can only deal with business." Zhu Zi looked back at the little boy and replied.

The little boy raised his head immediately, and said with an aggrieved expression: "This is the first time I have stolen something."

"Oh, can you tell me why you stole things?" Ma Mingli asked with a smile.

"Hmph, how can you young ladies from rich families understand the worries of us poor people.

It seems that winter is about to start, but we have neither cotton-padded clothes nor quilts. No matter what we do, we will starve to death and freeze to death in winter. "The little boy said with a look of resentment.

"People have to work to live. If you don't work, you will get something. If you have hands and feet, you can't find a job to support yourself." Zhu Zi reprimanded.

A ten-year-old child, although he can't do any heavy work, has absolutely no problem supporting himself. He always wants to get something for nothing, and sooner or later he will go further and further down the crooked road.

"You think who doesn't want to find a job, but there are too many of us, old and young, since I can find a job and how much money I can earn, how can I support so many people?" The little boy immediately felt wronged roared.

Although he knew in his heart that the other party's status was not low, and he should not refute him, but thinking of his family in the ruined temple and his current situation, he couldn't care less.

"What's going on?" Zhu Zi stared at him blankly and asked.

"We are beggars here." The little boy lowered his head after he finished speaking with tears in his eyes.

"Then tell me more about the situation in your place, including how many people there are, what's the current situation, and where they live." Zhu Zi replied solemnly.

"We live in a haunted house in the west of the city. There are eight elderly people, all of whom are somewhat disabled. There are more than ten younger ones below, and five healthy ones like me. Now the youngest two have passed away. I'm sick from the cold." The little boy told about his situation while crying.

There is a lot of pressure these days, and only he understands that if he hadn't reached the point of desperation, he would never reach out to steal money.

But looking at them, they are not short of money. If I talk to them, maybe I will take the initiative to help them.

"Have you ever asked the government for help?" Zhu Zi said with a serious face.

"No, those yamen servants will chase us when they see us. Even if we die, we won't ask them for help." The little boy said stubbornly.

"Leave this to me?" Ma Mingli said sympathetically.

When I was at home, I was oppressed by my stepmother and concubine every day, and felt that the sky was about to fall. Compared with them now, I am pretty good, at least I have no shortage of food and clothing, although the quality is a bit poor.

"What do you want to do?" Zhu Zi asked in surprise.

"After I go back, I will talk to my aunt, find some quilts and send them there, and then take some silver taels to buy them some medicine and rice. Let them tide over the difficulties first, and then decide how to arrange it." Ma Mingli was stunned for a moment and replied.

"Okay, you can discuss it after you go back." Zhu Zi nodded and replied.

"On behalf of all of us, thank you both for your life-saving kindness." The little boy was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and said gratefully.

"Get up quickly, but you must not do anything illegal in the future." Zhu Zi hurriedly helped him up and said.

"Well, I will find a job as soon as possible." The little boy nodded solemnly.
