After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Yan Qingqing helped him up from the ground and said: "You are a good boy, you don't have to be like this. I have just heard them tell you what happened to you. They all regard you as their backbone, but you are still a child, so you have suffered a lot."

Just this painful sentence made Mu Xi unable to hold back. This was the most heartwarming sentence he had heard in so long, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Yan Qingqing didn't know how to comfort him. It seemed that no matter what she said at this time, it was powerless. She might as well let him vent quietly.

Ah Da saw that it was getting late and said, "Madam, it's getting late. If it gets any later, the dental shop may be closed."

Yan Qingqing slapped her head and said: "Look at my memory, I actually forgot about this. The shopkeeper of the dental shop said that a new batch of people arrived today, right? It is estimated that at this point, the good ones have been picked away."

After Yan Qingqing finished speaking, she glanced at Mu Xi vaguely, then turned around and left.

But I was thinking silently in my heart: "One, two, three..."

Sure enough, when Yan Qingqing counted to five, Mu Xi stopped her and said, "Madam, if you want to buy people, can you pick a few from us? We don't accept cash, so you just need to ensure that they have enough to eat." "

A smile appeared on Yan Qingqing's face after hearing this. This was what she and Amao came to this place with, but she didn't expect these children to go through so many hardships. Of course, Yan Qingqing would be happy to accept them if they were willing.

But Yan Qingqing can't let Mu Xi see it, otherwise today's kindness will be purposeful, and they will be less loyal in the future.

So he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "If you want to sell yourself, you can go to a dental shop. It's against the rules for me to buy you."

Mu Xi knelt down on the ground again with a plop and said: "I know it's embarrassing Madam, but we have no household registration and no roads. Even if we go to Yaxing, they won't want us. Madam, don't worry, as long as Madam is willing to buy them, give them a way to live." , they will definitely be loyal in the future and will never betray Madam."

Yan Qingqing glanced at Mu Xi and asked, "Why buy them and not you?"

Mu Xi said in embarrassment: "I also want to follow Madam, but there are more than 30 of us. If I leave them, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive at all."

Yan Qingqing really didn't expect this child to have such good conduct, so he said again: "What if I said I could take you away together."

Mu Xi was a little surprised. Yan Qingqing actually wanted to buy so many people. There were a few of them who were seriously ill. It was hard to say whether they could survive. How could Yan Qingqing be willing to buy it?

Yan Qingqing said with a smile: "I can still afford to raise a few children, but they have to sell themselves as slaves voluntarily. They have to choose their own lives. Maybe they would rather be beggars."

What Yan Qingqing said was the truth. As beggars, at least they were free. Once they were sold into slavery, their life and death would not be in their control. Although Yan Qingqing also felt that it was the best choice for these children to come to her home.

Mu Xi fell silent after hearing this. Yan Qingqing did not rush him, but just said: "You can discuss it again. If anyone is willing to go, you can go to Canghe Village to find me tonight. The largest courtyard in the village is my home."

Mu Xi looked at Yan Qingqing and nodded firmly and said, "Thank you, madam!"

Yan Qingqing took Ah Da out of the beggar's den. Ah Da looked at Yan Qingqing and asked: "Madam, are we still going to the dental shop?"

Yan Qingqing smiled and shook her head and said: "Why are you spending so much money when there are so many people? I spent hundreds of taels of silver when I bought you. Madam, my money didn't come from the strong wind. "

Ada curled her lips and said, "Madam, how can you be so sure that they will come tonight?

And how old are they? Even if you go to our house, what can you do? "

Yan Qingqing looked at Ah and laughed and said: "Younger age naturally has its advantages. You guys are here early and you are not allowed to bully others."

Ah Da smiled and replied: "Madam, don't worry, we are all poor people. If we are lucky enough to meet madam, we will naturally not bully them."

After Ada finished speaking, he immediately asked: "Since Madam doesn't want to buy anyone anymore, should we go back to Canghe Village now or go to the shop?"

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and replied: "Let's just stroll around on the street. I haven't strolled around for a long time.

If you see something suitable, buy some. If you don’t find something suitable, just take it easy. "

After walking around the county town, Yan Qingqing bought a lot of bits and pieces, including things to eat, things to play with, and things to watch.

In addition, he bought a lot of coarse cloth. Yan Qingqing thought that if Mu Xi and the children were willing to go to their house, he could make clothes for them.

While shopping, Yan Qingqing found that there were a lot of beggars on the street. She thought they must all come from Fengtian Mansion, but her limited ability could not really help. I could only let out a long sigh, and then lost interest in shopping.

Yan Qingqing said to Ah Da: "Go back to Canghe Village."

Ah Da responded and drove the bullock cart back to Canghe Village with a cart full of things.

When she returned home, Yuan Huiniang saw that there were only Yan Qingqing and Ada, but the bullock cart was full of things. She thought that maybe her mother-in-law was delayed shopping, or maybe there was no suitable servant, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After dinner in the evening, Yan Qingqing looked at the gloomy weather, a bit like rain, and suddenly felt a little more irritable. If it rained, the children might not be able to come.

But it would be even harder for them if they didn't come and live in a house like that. The weather is still relatively cold in early spring, and a cold wind this year is likely to kill a person.

Gradually, it started to rain lightly outside, and gradually it became heavier and heavier. Just when Yan Qingqing thought that the group of children would not come, the rough lady in the yard reported back and asked Ada to see her.

Yan Qingqing let him in before he had any rest. After Ah Da came in, he said with a happy face: "Madam, the group of children we met today are here."

Yan Qingqing quickly asked: "Where?"

Ah Da replied: "I arranged them in the front hall, and one child seemed to be a little injured."

Yan Qingqing stood up quickly and said, "Come on, let me go take a look. You go to the kitchen and ask the cook to make some more ginger soup. By the way, see what else is available in the kitchen and send it to the front hall." go."

After saying this, Yan Qingqing held up an umbrella and walked to the front hall without waiting for Ah Da's reply. When Yan Qingqing arrived, she found that these children were shivering from the cold. They could neither stand nor sit in the front hall, looking awkward and uneasy. One of the children was injured in the leg and was bleeding.

Yan Qingqing quickly asked: "Why is it so seriously injured?"

Mu Xi and Amao had met Yan Qingqing, and they were moved when they saw Yan Qingqing braving the heavy rain to see them. They vowed to be loyal to Yan Qingqing for the rest of their lives, so they knelt down and said, "Please take me in, madam."
