Beauty is too weak to be bullied

Chapter 8 Poverty and Weakness Are Not Reasons

After drinking the medicine and taking a half bowl of white rice porridge, Du Qingtan regained some energy. He gently stroked Tuantuan's chubby face and forced out a weak smile.

"Sister is fine, don't be afraid."

Tuantuan snuggled up to her obediently, and began to miss home and mother: "We didn't go home, Mom must be very anxious."

"Xiaolang, don't worry, the eldest lady has something to go to Duling, she said she won't go home tonight."

Cai Lan brought hot water to Du Qingtan to scrub, so she couldn't help telling her the ins and outs.

"I sold the ancestral horizontal knife to save your life. From now on, Mr. Dugu will be our family's lifesaver!"

Of course Du Qingtan was grateful.

Not everyone who meets someone for the first time can sell an heirloom to save a stranger's life.

Dugu Buqiu is indeed her savior, and deserves the highest courtesy and reward.

But there is an imminent problem in front of him. To pay back favors, you have to spend money, such as redeeming people's ancestral belongings.

But where does the money come from?

Du Qingtan fell into deep thought.

Cai Lan thought brokenly: "Young Master Dugu is really poor. I didn't believe it when he said he didn't eat for a day. Just now it was really eye-opening. Tsk tsk, I ate a big pot of soup cakes, such a big pot!"

Cai Lan drew out a basin bigger than her head, and added oil and vinegar.

"The servant girl looks full! But it looks like he hasn't had enough! He asked if there are any Hubing, and asked for two more."

Flour!Du Qingtan swallowed with hunger.

She hasn't eaten white noodles for a long time, that's why she doesn't believe Cailan's nonsense of "looks like I'm full", she is obviously very greedy, but she is too embarrassed to ask for it, right?
"Have you eaten yet?" she asked.

Cailan blushed, and subconsciously rubbed her belly: "I've eaten."

Tuantuan shouted: "Cailan and Uncle Yu only ordered a bowl of millet porridge, just pickles, save money! Brother Dugu gave me two Hubing, I ate one, I shared them, they don't want it, Let me leave it to my mother and sister."

Cailan hurriedly said: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter recently, and the millet porridge is pickled vegetables, clear the fire!"

Du Qingtan didn't say a word, but felt that this could not go on anymore, he had to cheer up and try to survive, otherwise he would feel sorry for the whole family.

Especially this broken body, if it doesn't change, it will be eaten to the bone, and the whole family will be affected.

And it's so cowardly that you can faint if you hit someone, it's embarrassing!

Dugu's voice came from outside the door: "Cailan, is your fifth mother feeling better?"

Cai Lan quickly went to open the door, stood in front of the door to block the way, and saluted respectfully: "Young Master Lao is concerned, my fifth mother is much better, she just ate half a bowl of porridge, and she has the energy to talk. It's just that she is bedridden, so it is inconvenient to receive guests , please forgive me."

Even if the court is in decline, the etiquette that should be observed must still be observed. What does a lady look like lying on the bed with disheveled hair and seeing a stranger.

Dugu didn't ask and didn't intend to go in, he just said: "As long as she gets better, let Doctor Jin give her another injection tomorrow morning. Call Tuantuan to come and rest with me."

In order to save money, in addition to Dr. Jin's room, he only opened two rooms, one for men and one for women.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, I have to thank Mr. Dugu."

Du Qingtan was particularly sorry, but he didn't say anything silly like "open another room" which is unrealistic. Saving money is the most important thing, anyway, I owe a debt of favor, not much.

Dugu Buqiu curled his red lips and smiled, half joking and half serious: "You're welcome, just pay back the full amount at that time, after all, I'm just a poor man."

When it comes to repaying the debt, Du Qingtan is very serious: "Don't worry, I will definitely pay it back."

Dugu Buqiu shook his finger lightly: "Don't ask for an IOU. Also, I was ten cents short of the salary for asking the news before. It's not that you didn't have it, but you kept it privately. It's against the rules to talk about it."

"..." There was an awkward silence in the room.

Du Qingtan didn't know the reason, so he only looked at Cailan.

Cailan's face was blushing, she lowered her head and twisted her clothes, not daring to look at anyone.

Tuantuan blinked his big black eyes, looked at this, then at that, jumped up suddenly, and shouted: "Sleep, sleep, I like big brother Dugu the most!"

Forcibly pulling Dugu Buqiu away.

Cai Lan let out a long breath: "Fortunately, Xiao Lang is smart, otherwise this would be embarrassing. Mr. Dugu really, he has done so many good things, but he insisted on saying it so badly..."

After Du Qingtan heard the story, he said slowly: "He's just telling the truth. It's all because of my incompetence, and I want you to worry about your livelihood."

"Wu Niang!" Cai Lan couldn't help but wet her eyes.

She was really afraid that Du Qingtan would blame her for being petty, but if such a big family wanted to eat, it was worth saving a penny, otherwise, who wouldn't want to be generous?
"Why are you crying? I will find a solution." Du Qingtan was very firm.

In any case, this favor must be returned, and the chivalry of others cannot be taken for granted.

Being poor and weak is no excuse.

Cai Lan didn't think that Du Qingtan really had a solution, she just didn't want to make her worry anymore, so she coaxed: "Go to sleep, taking care of your body is the fundamental."

Early the next morning, the two were woken up by the sound of arguing outside the door.

Cailan was tired all day and night, and she was still hungry, so she was furious and jumped up aggressively, "Wait for me to see what kind of unruly guy is disturbing people's dreams!"

"Don't cause trouble..." Before Du Qingtan finished speaking, the girl had already rushed out, so she could only sigh and continue to rest with her eyes closed.

But he didn't want to only work for a while, Cailan ran back in a hurry, and said happily:

"You said what was going on outside just now? Doctor Jin is really not a thing. He wakes up early in the morning and asks for this and that. After eating and drinking, he wants to shake his hands and leave.

Mr. Dugu will definitely not let him go, he said that he must be treated again, which was agreed last night.

We have spent so much money, we must earn back the money, otherwise we will let people go, and we will have to spend more money to hire them again. "

"Good job!" Du Qingtan excitedly cooperated with Cailan to clean up, saving money and collecting wool reasonably, and the fool refused.

Not long after, Dr. Jin and Dugu Buqiu came.

This doctor with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and mouse whiskers had a gloomy face and aggressive actions, which made Du Qingtan very worried that he would take the opportunity to stab her to death with a needle.

"If Wuniang feels uncomfortable somewhere, just say it right away so that Doctor Jin can correct it. Don't yell afterward that people can't cure the disease. After all, she is a famous doctor, so she shouldn't lose her reputation at all. Right, Doctor Jin?"

Dugu didn't ask for green arms, leaned against the wall, and smiled maliciously with his bright red lips.

　　Hey, I should have thanked you yesterday, and I forgot to beat the child.The kid did his homework and asked to make sentences and compositions. He wrote the sentences and compositions he had written before, and asked him to correct them, and shouted loudly: "I object!" After thinking about it for a long time, he snorted, "Then what if I'm taking the exam?" Pointing out that he didn't take the exam, he still sat still and rolled his eyes at me.

　　Then ask for a recommendation ticket, a monthly ticket, a reward, a recommendation, etc., and the guest officers who passed by will give it a hand. I haven’t opened a book for almost a year. It’s chilly, so scared that I can’t sleep, and I’m teary
