Mrs. Yipin: a farmer's doctor

Chapter 224
"It's only July."

Xiulan sighed and echoed, "Yes! Maybe there are still several months to go, so I sell my son and daughter now, and in a few months, isn't it..."

Xiulan didn't continue talking, and suddenly said to Zhiran with a grateful face: "If the second aunt hadn't had your help, she might have sold her daughter too."

Zhiran looked at Xiulan with a slight smile, and said with trust in her eyes: "Second Gu, you won't, you would rather starve with Yaoyao in your arms, or sell yourself, than sell Yaoyao .”

Xiulan's cheeks flushed, and she said shyly, "Yes! Yaoyao is my lifeblood."

"Hey, where is Yaoyao?" Xiulan realized that Yaoyao was not at home.

Zhiran pursed her lips and said, "She followed Sister Jinxiu and the others to deliver summer tea to the villagers."

"This kid is really enthusiastic." Xiulan's tone was gentle, with a hint of pride.

Zhiran praised cooperatively: "Sister Yao is good, otherwise, I wouldn't love her so much."

Xiulan blushed with embarrassment, she knew the difference between Zhiran's treatment of Yaoyao and Liu Min, they were both cousins, but their attitudes were different.

In fact, in Zhiran's heart, she didn't hate Liu Min either.

Liu Min is still a good girl. Although she is shy, she is very conscious and never provokes others. Zhi Ran doesn't get close to her, but she doesn't want to get too entangled in the future.

After all, Yaoyao is different, she will live with their family in the future, the more harmonious the relationship, the better.

After a few more days like this, the sale of children and daughters is nothing new. The old man who lived alone at the end of the village was starving to death quietly at home.

It was the neighbor who hadn’t seen him for two days and was worried that something might happen to him. He knocked on the door and no one answered, so he knocked on the door again and went in to check, only to find his body.

When his body was found, it was already stale.

"Mother..." Zhiran felt uncomfortable when she heard this. She covered so much food and just watched the people in the village die in front of her.

Tang embraced Zhiran, comforted her with trembling hands, and said, "Life and death are fates, so be careful."

She understood this feeling, even though it was not her own relatives who died, she still felt very sad.

"This is such a good person, how can he be gone if he doesn't exist! It's been so many days, maybe the government will release food after a few more days?" Xiulan said with a sigh, her eyes were slightly red.

"Zhiran, it's not only our Liujia Village that is suffering, but the entire imperial court. There are hundreds of people in our Liujia Village alone. How much can you help, so don't put pressure on yourself. You did nothing wrong. At least the food is in your hands. , you will not crazily raise the price, you are already much better than many people."

"Mother!" Zhiran tightly hugged Tang's hand, she was very grateful for what Tang said to her at this time.

Although she felt touched when she heard that people were starving to death, she would not change her decision.

Xiulan looked at Zhiran, nodded with difficulty and said, "It's not our selfishness, it's our fate. If we didn't have the large sum of money you earned, we might be the next old man living alone."

"Yes! It's lucky to have you." Tang patted Zhiran's head and said.

Zhi Ran pursed her lips stiffly, and said, "We'll see in a few days, if the government doesn't provide food, we'll help the disaster!"

"Don't..." Tang Corps and Xiulan said at the same time, refusing at the same time.

Zhiran was stunned, not understanding how the two most holy mothers in the family suddenly changed.

Tang and Xiulan looked at each other, and Xiulan said: "We may do bad things with good intentions. If we donate porridge now, everyone will know that we have food at home. When the time comes, they will join forces to rob us." Yes, we are in danger."

"Yes, Mother is also worried about this!" Tang agreed.

Not everyone knows how to repay kindness. When facing life and death, human nature is selfish.

Zhiran blinked her eyebrows, and suddenly felt relieved.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Tang shi reluctantly touched Zhiran's face twice, then withdrew his hands and said, "Good boy."

One after another, the village became hungry and fainted a lot, and several people died. The wild vegetables nearby were all dug up, so some people wanted to go up the mountain to hunt game or dig wild vegetables.

But there are big cats and wolves in the mountains, so how can ordinary people enter it!

It was an irrational behavior to go hunting in the mountains after being so hungry. After killing a few young people, the people in the village also gave up the idea of ​​going up the mountains to find food.

There was still no news from the town, but Zhiran couldn't bear it anymore, and sneaked into the town with the Jinxiu sisters behind Tang's back.

All the men in the family went out, and there were warehouses in nearby counties with food. At this time, everyone was worried, so they all went to guard.

In fact, Zhiran had prepared a lot of medicine for them in advance, and those who wanted to steal food, regardless of whether they got the food secretly, were bound to be poisoned.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the heat was high, and the yamen was guarded by a yamen servant, sitting on the ground holding a wooden stick, dozing off little by little.

Xiu'er stepped forward and bent down and called, "This big brother..."

no response.

"This big brother!" Xiu'er called out again, and reached out to poke his arm.

"Who is it!" The yamen servant waved his hand unhappily, and shouted before opening his eyes.

Looking up and seeing the three of Zhiran, he frowned displeasedly, "This is not a place for you to play, hurry up and go away."

The three of them, Zhiran, are only eight years old, and Zhiran is one year older than the two Jinxiu sisters, but Jinxiu sister's birthday is at the beginning of the year, and Zhiran's birthday is at the end of the year. After calculation, they are not one year old.

She has not yet turned nine years old, and the three little girls are all wearing buns, and none of the adults is leading them.

The elder brother of the yamen servant didn't even ask, he just treated them as naughty children and drove them away.

Zhi Ran frowned invisibly, feeling a little disgusted with the servant's attitude, but she didn't show the slightest bit on her face, instead she said with a sweet smile: "Brother Yamen servant, we came to see Kong Wenjun for something, we are his friend."

"Young master?" The elder brother of the yamen servant was stunned for a moment, then he opened his confused eyes and looked at Zhiran seriously.

The skin is better than snow, and the complexion is clear and beautiful, which is more than a hundred times more beautiful than Du Sirong who flaunts in the mansion every day.

"The girl's surname is Tang?" the yamen servant guessed.

He knew that Mr. Kong was infatuated with a beautiful little girl, and he went to live in her house for several months, but since he came back last time, he has been unhappy and a little emotional.

If this person is really Mr. Kong's sweetheart, how dare he be negligent.

"Well! My name is Tang Zhiran." Zhiran smiled lightly, blessing her body.

This movement was smooth and smooth, and it looked pleasing to the eye. The yamen servant opened his eyes and said, "Miss, wait a moment, I will report to the young master."
