Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 23 The shrew comes to the door
On the other hand, Gu Shaotong, who was next to him, said cleverly, "Sister, sister's mother is dead, and the stepmother treats her badly."

Gu Qingmei couldn't help turning cold. What she hated most in her life was her stepmother abusing her ex-wife's children. Hearing this, she took out thirty copper coins from her purse and handed them to Gu Shaotong, "Shaotong, take back the food first." Home, and then go to the grocery store to buy a catty of wine for your grandfather, and I will take your little sister to the neighboring village to see the doctor."

Gu Shaotong nodded and ran back home.

Gu Qingmei pulled the little girl up from the ground, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the doctor."

But the little girl was terrified and refused to move, and said falteringly: "If my mother finds out, she will definitely beat me."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Gu Qingmei said, holding her dirty little hand, this was the first time she walked out of the house, and she didn't recognize anywhere, so she asked. "Do you know which way Wangjiazhuang is going?"

The little girl pointed to the east, and Gu Qingmei took her to Wangjiazhuang. Gujiazhuang and Wangjiazhuang were very close, and they arrived in a short while. She inquired and found Wang Pingxian's house.

Wang Pingxian happened to be at home, and he was a doctor, so he didn't have a sense of time, when there was a patient, and when to greet her, seeing her coming, Wang Pingxian hurriedly greeted her into the west wing room, where there was a row of medicine cabinets and no counter. There is a table in front of the medicine cabinet, and he usually does all the work of seeing patients and dispensing medicines by himself, and sometimes his wife will help him.

Hearing Gu Qingmei's explanation of her purpose, Wang Pingxian glanced at the little girl's wound, and immediately frowned, "Girl, how did you get this injury?"

The little girl said in a low voice, "When I was chopping wood, I was pricked by a piece of wood."

Wang Pingxian sighed, got up and went to the door, and shouted: "My mother, come out."

After a while, a neatly dressed woman came out from the main room, "What's the matter?"

"Go quickly, fetch a basin of warm water, and wash this girl's hands."

Wang Pingxian's daughter-in-law heard this, and quickly brought a basin of warm water from the house. When she saw the injury on the little girl's hand, she couldn't help but frowned, "My God, how did this happen? How did the injury become so serious?" That's why you came here?"

The little girl lowered her head and said nothing.

Gu Qingmei said softly: "I heard that she is a stepmother."

Just this one sentence gives people unlimited room for reverie.

Wang Pingxian's daughter-in-law said angrily: "The stepmother can't abuse the ex-wife's children like this, and I'm not afraid of going to hell after death."

As she spoke, she swiftly wiped the dirt off the little girl's hands with a towel, but she carefully avoided the festering part of the wound.

She didn't change to shochu until her fair skin was washed, soaked the cotton in the shochu, and then carefully dipped the pus and blood off her fingers.

The little girl grinned in pain, but didn't make a sound.

Suddenly, a piece fell from her finger and fell into the basin.

"Ah..." Wang Pingxian's daughter-in-law couldn't help but let out a cry. "Master, look quickly, a piece of her finger bone is missing."

But Wang Pingxian said calmly: "It's all rotten like this, the finger bone will definitely not be preserved."

Gu Shaoya has been enduring the pain, but at this moment, she finally couldn't help it anymore, the tears rolled down like broken pearls, flowing down her dirty little face, leaving Two black smudges.

Wang Pingxian took the wine bottle, washed her wounds, and took out a small knife used to treat trauma, and after sterilizing it with candle flames, carefully removed the rotten flesh from Gu Shaoya's fingers , then took the medicine powder, bandaged her up, and said: "Come change the medicine every three days."

Gu Qingmei took out a tael of silver from the purse and put it on the table.

Wang Pingxian said: "Forget it, from the village, this child is not easy."

Gu Qingmei said: "Although I say that, but what you are doing is a business, and you can't make you lose money,"

"That's too much. You can't spend so much money at all. Just give twenty copper coins."

"Treat the rest as my medical expenses. You should keep the account and deduct it slowly!" Gu Qingmei took the little girl's hand. "Let's go, I'll take you home!"

The little girl silently followed her to Gujiazhuang.

She asked, "What's your name?"

The little girl whispered: "Gu Xiaoya!"

"How old?"

"twelve!"

"Does your mother often abuse you?"

Gu Xiaoya pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Gu Qingmei said: "If she still abuses you in the future, you can go to my house to find me."

"En!" Gu Xiaoya agreed softly, and then said in a very low voice. "Thank you, Aunt Mei!"

At this time, it was getting dark, and the night road was a bit difficult to walk, but suddenly someone came towards me with a lantern in front of him, and when he got closer, Gu Qingmei heard the other party calling her name, and she recognized that it was her four Brother, so he quickened his pace, "Fourth Brother, why did you come out?"

Gu Qingyang said calmly: "You didn't go home for a long time, and your parents were really worried, so they asked me to come out to meet you."

Gu Xiaoya said obediently: "Uncle Yang."

"En!" Gu Qingyang agreed lightly, and then said. "Let's go back!"

He lit a lantern to help the two of them lead the way, and when they returned to Gujiazhuang, Gu Qingmei stood at the entrance of the alley, watching Gu Xiaoya enter the house. After a while, he heard a woman's angry curse from the alley: "Where are you going to die?" Did you come back now? I don’t know how to help with cooking, and I just want to eat free food every day. Why didn’t your damn mother die with you? Who bandaged your hands? Where did you get the money to see the doctor? ? Say, did you steal money from the family?"

She frowned slightly. Although she already knew that Gu Xiaoya's stepmother would not treat her kindly, she did not expect to speak so badly. She couldn't help but want to stand up for Gu Xiaoya, but Gu Qingyang grabbed her arm and said softly. Said: "It's hard for an honest official to break up housework. We can't interfere in this matter. The more you help the little girl, the more her stepmother will abuse her, and it will get worse because she lost face in front of you."

Gu Qingmei had no choice but to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, as well as her pity for the little girl, and went home with the fourth brother.

Walking on the quiet street in the village, Gu Qingyang suddenly spoke softly.

"who are you?"

Gu Qingmei was taken aback by this question, and suddenly turned her face to look at Fourth Brother, but under the dim night, she couldn't see the expression on his face at all.

She couldn't help asking suspiciously: "Fourth brother, what did you... just tell me?"

Gu Qingyang turned his face and glanced at her, with a clear look in his eyes, and repeated his question again, "Who are you...?"
