Chapter 7
"You are pitiful and we are also pitiful. No matter how pitiful you are, you still live in such a house! We have no headed family, and we can't even eat gruel at home. Come today, we must give money!"

These words are all true, and the people who came responded: "That's right, bring the money! Or sue the officials!"

There were inevitably tears in Feng Luan's eyes. With tears in her eyes, she watched more and more neighbors around her, and everyone looked at her.

Although the girl of the Zhou family was not raised like an official, she was also the jewel in the palm of her parents' eyes, and she usually didn't come outside.

In addition, the marriage was decided early, and it was not two years before the marriage, so I was careful not to show up.At this moment, when Fen faced these gazes, Feng Luan felt that everyone was staring at her like a tiger.

"Hey, we won't be afraid of you even if you cry." A thick-skinned woman spoke methodically with her hands on her hips. She pointed to the children who came with her: "Miss Zhou, look for yourself, our family, Mao The sky is so thin that the skin is loose and the person is soft. Ms. Zhou, please bring me some money. My dead ghost, you usually have nothing to do with boats. How can you be so unlucky to encounter such a thing. Poor you can’t move. People don't care if you live or die!"

As she spoke, it turned into a melodious cry.Feng Luan panicked, saluted deeply again and again, and shouted: "Sister-in-law, please don't cry, listen to me slowly."

"Bring me the money! I have nothing to say to you." More than a dozen people chattered, suppressing Feng Luan's voice.Feng Luan looked at them sadly, they were all poor people.Look at the neighbors again, some are pitiful, some are sympathetic, and some are gloating.

It's human nature to be happy when you hear about other people's misfortunes!
Lai'an held a hoe, and found two other family members behind the gate, with blue veins in their hands!The girl is not allowed to come out, not to show her face, but if these people dare to behave wildly, Lai'an made up her mind, and she will not be polite!
There was chaos in front of the door, the eyes of the boatmen's family members, the neighbors' eyes, and the children rolling on the ground and crying: "Daddy, give me back my daddy."

Lai'an cursed again in a low voice from behind the door: "No one is dead, so what mourning!"

More and more people surrounded the crowd, and the burdens of small goods walking in the streets and alleys also came to watch the excitement: "Hey, get out of the way, let's go over and do business." After separating the people, they stuck out their tongues: "So it's people. Home, this is not the way."

Lan Zhi came out with Feng Luan, seeing the chaos, her face turned red and she wanted to step up to block Feng Luan.Feng Luan gently pushed her, this push was quite meaningful, Lan Zhi, who had been with Feng Luan for several years, stopped, thinking that the girl must have some idea, but didn't understand what her idea was.

The autumn wind scissors, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus floats everywhere.Zhou Fengluan finally opened her mouth, and she gently helped a child who rolled in front of her.The child was only three or five years old, with tears in his eyes and a smile on his lips. He rolled around in a numb manner, as if he was playing.

Seeing a blue embroidered sleeve approaching, the child raised his hand without hesitation and slapped it, then rolled away on the spot, jumped up and ran to his mother crying loudly: "Mom, she hit me!"

The adults all saw that Zhou Fengluan was not hitting someone with her hands, she had a gentle and honest smile on her face.That smile is like a flower slowly blooming in the spring breeze, and a bit like a bright moon rising slowly in a clear night. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel kind.

"Sister-in-law, neighbors in the neighborhood." Feng Luan hung her sleeves in front of her, wishing her a few more blessings.His face was flushed because he raised his voice: "My father has suffered from the bad luck this year, and the people on the boat have also suffered. This matter, we can't tell where we are, we can only blame the robbers for being too hateful!"

When the noise was too loud and the crowd was the most crowded, the girl from the Zhou family said this, which aroused the sympathy of the neighbors, and they whispered: "Yes, I can't blame others for this. Some people want to lose money. Are you still injured?"

This meaning spread to a few people, and the voice became louder, and everyone around could hear it clearly.

When Feng Luan heard this sentence, a slight smile flashed across his lips, and he was gentle and kind again, but he said sadly: "Every family has its own difficulties. In my family, the father earns money to live. When the father collapses, Daily life at home is difficult, and I have to ask a doctor for my father every day."

"Your family still has business!" Speaking of this, the person who came to ask for money gave Feng Luan a sentence.

The figure in blue clothes saluted deeply again, and said kindly: "Sister-in-law is right, but father has never been bothered, and the money he takes advantage of every day is barely enough for the guys to eat and start their wages."

In front of all these people, she cried bitterly.The faces of the boatman's family members all changed, and they looked at her very ugly.Some lips were moving, they took a step or two with their chests straight, and their fists were clenched, which seemed to be menacing.

Lan Zhi was also anxious, and screamed, "Come on!"

"No!" Feng Luan's shrill voice became louder and more urgent, suppressing Lan Zhi's voice.At this time, the audience was a little nervous, and the onlookers also felt that it was hot, as if they were going to have a good show.They were not without excitement, squeezing each other.

Facing the approach of these dozen or so people with furious eyes, Zhou Fengluan did not retreat, but took a step forward, and shouted to the people around: "The last time my sisters-in-law came, I personally said that I will give you the money!"

These words made those who approached her stop, and felt like listening to her!

"It's a shame that I'm a woman, I can't raise money!" Zhou Fengluan continued to speak, the flush on his face was still there, it was not shyness but shortness of breath.

She faced the person who came to ask for money, and said earnestly: "I can't break my promise! My family's daily life is difficult, and I can imagine that you are also having a hard time. Money, although I don't have it!"

After a heavy pause, Zhou Fengluan took off one of the hairpins from her hair, and then another. The snow-white hands, jet-black hair, and yellow hairpin were blown down by the west wind and imprinted on the hearts of the onlookers.

They were moved, and the people who came to ask for money were also moved!
No matter how poor the family is, they also need a bramble hairpin.Hairpins are jewelry, but women's hair cannot be fixed without hairpins, and it is a necessity for girls.

Seeing this girl, she put two hairpins on her hair, and her bun became messy in the wind.Someone moved, this is the neighbor of the Zhou family, the white-haired old man helped to speak: "This is a small businessman, a family that can't afford it, and Master Zhou takes medicine, it's difficult now."

The two hairpins were held in Feng Luan's palms, the palms of the hands were slightly red, matching the hairpins, Feng Luan sincerely sent the hairpins to the boatmen's family, trembling lips said: "Now I have no money, please sister-in-law We take this."

Everyone is silent.

This is a small girl with a small stature, and she looks mature and childish in her speech.She took out her own jewelry to pay back the money, and everyone's heart trembled involuntarily.

Some people still want it, and it is difficult for other people's families.But after receiving the hairpin, the hostility on everyone's faces disappeared a lot.
