Chapter 248

The Han Kingdom has been fighting all the year round, and the people are in dire straits. In addition, there have been frequent famines in recent years, and there are a lot of homeless and displaced people. That's why there are so many beggars in the capital.

They are not born beggars, born in troubled times, involuntarily.

People often heard that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was fatuous and incompetent, he liked to fight, was extravagant, he was close to sycophants, and he didn't care about the fact that many people in the Han Dynasty lived in the heat of the water.

But at the Hundred Flowers Festival party, the emperor didn't seem to be ignorant, and didn't mean to discriminate against beggars in the city.

There must be something strange in this.

The little beggar who sent flowers to Shu Xia last night had injured his leg while fleeing, but he had no money for medical treatment, so the root cause of the disease fell and he staggered when he walked.

"Sister, are you here?"

The little beggar's bright eyes were shining, and his mother told him that this elder sister was the benefactor who made them full of food. The mother told herself that she should repay her kindness.

That's why the little beggar will be so enthusiastic about Shu Xia.

"Ah."

"Sister, sit inside." The little beggar invited Shu Xia into the room.

They lived in a broken thatched house. If it rained, the old quilts in the house would get wet.

The little beggar's aunt felt sorry, they didn't have anything decent in their house, they couldn't offer anything to entertain Shu Xia, and they didn't even have a good chair to sit on.

"I'm sorry, benefactor, we..."

"It's okay." Shu Xia sat directly on the straw.

I don't mind at all.

Shu Xia's eyes fell on the little beggar.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Amu. My mother said that I lack wood in five elements, so she named me Amu."

The situation of Amu's family is not optimistic. They were not from the capital city, but after a war broke out, they fled here from their hometown.

Amu's mother was seriously injured during the escape, became disabled, and lost her labor force. Amu was still young, and his labor force was limited. Begging in the city, the year is not good, ordinary people's families are in trouble, their income is meager, and it is normal to not be able to eat.

As for Amu's father, he was taken away by the arresting men, died in battle and never came back.

Years of wars have brought only endless disasters to the people.

"Does Amu want to heal his leg?"

Amu nodded vigorously.

"Amu thinks, but Amu has no money, so he can't do it. Although Amu can save money, but Amu wants to save money to buy delicious food for Aniang!" Amu's face is innocent, and his eyes are clean and clear.

"Ah."

"I can pay for Amu's leg treatment, but Amu wants to work for me, is that okay?"

"Of course I can! Amu is hardworking and can do anything, as long as my sister doesn't dislike her, but Amu has a small condition, just one."

The corners of Shu Xia's mouth raised slightly, "What conditions?"

"Amu can't heal her legs. I just want my sister to feed my mother. She doesn't eat much. My mother is very hard..."

Speaking of this, Amu was a little sad, and tears fell down.

Shu Xia handed Amu a clean handkerchief.

"Adults make choices, and children have to."

……

Shu Xia took both mother and son into Shen's residence, they only need to help Shen's residence with some light work, and Shu Xia will provide them with food and shelter.

She paid for Amu's leg to be healed, and she also let their mother and son have enough food and clothing. The mother and son are very grateful to Shu Xia.

Shen's residence happened to be short of servants and maidservants. Shu Xia picked people from the beggars and refugees in the capital. As long as they were willing, not lazy and not causing trouble, Shu Xia would let them enter the mansion. The treatment was very good. Many people No more wandering.

Of course, what she did was just a drop in the bucket. There are still many people living in misery. To solve the problem fundamentally, it is necessary to stop frequent wars, and the government can bear its own responsibilities.
