Xianyu's leisurely life through books

Chapter 6
Rejuvenation Hall, in the backyard ward.

Song Yu sat on the stool by the wall, closed his eyes and meditated, and frowned slightly, as if he was enduring some pain.

Pei Xiaoxiao stared at his handsome face in a daze, not even the pain from the old doctor's bandage on her arm could bring her back from her thoughts.

The fact that the child was rescued meant that Song Yu would not kill her.

But this book is a romance novel, the main line is the love story between Song Yu and Du Rouhui.

If she is not dead, how can she make room for the heroine?

I don't know if she, the cannon fodder, gets out in time and hangs around in the corner without affecting the main line, whether the master of the plot will let her go.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Xiaoxiao decided to find an opportunity to reconcile with Song Yu.

"The little lady was hit on the head and has internal injuries. She needs to be recuperated. It's best to stay with us for a few days to observe."

The old doctor suggested while bandaging Pei Xiaoxiao's arm wound.

Pei Xiaoxiao came back to her senses.

She regretted her life, fearing that this body would leave sequelae, she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, stay in the hospital... stay here for observation."

The old doctor paused, then turned to look at Song Yu who was by the wall.

Hearing what the little lady said, he just slightly raised his eyelids, looked here, and then closed them again.

She looks like a daughter-in-law who does what she says.

There was a trace of pity in the old doctor's eyes.

This young man is not good, he is tall and big, but he is actually a master who is afraid of his wife.

Not only that, but his daughter-in-law is dressed in fine cotton, but he can only wear coarse linen clothes. His family status is really not good.

He turned around and concentrated on chatting with Pei Xiaoxiao.

"Little lady, if you stay with us overnight, it will cost you a hundred cash a day. Medicines for internal injuries are more expensive, and you need our medicine boy to cook three meals a day. The cost adds up to one tael a day."

"According to the degree of your internal injury, at least three days of observation, please pay for three days first."

Just as the old doctor finished speaking, Song Yu's voice came over.

"I'm in a hurry to go out today, I don't have any money with me, can I bring it over tomorrow?"

Pei Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "No, I have money here."

The money earned by everyone in the Song family must be handed over to Song's mother for unified management.

Song Yu's daily hunting gains must of course be handed over.

When he went back to get it, he had to pay from the office.

Mother Song didn't like the way the original owner married into the Song family.

After marrying in, like a parasite, she never participates in family labor, spends money lavishly, spends her dowry and starts to play tricks, sells old scalpers and sells children...

This fierce operation not only aroused Song's mother's disgust, but also the brothers, sisters-in-law, aunts and nephews in other rooms.

In this situation where people hate dogs, if she really took a sum of several taels of silver from the public, she would definitely be flooded with spit for a month.

Just like the original owner was scolded by the second sister-in-law Xiao Han for a whole month after selling the old scalper.

When she returns to Song's house in a few days, she is afraid that she will also be ridiculed.

Moreover, she has a little thought.

The more one person invests in another person, the greater the sunk cost, and the more he gives up.

If Song Yu really had a conflict with her family because she went back to take the money, the more sunk costs would be thrown on her, and it would even make him misunderstand that he loves him very much.

This is not good for her and away plans.

Putting aside these troubles, Pei Xiaoxiao began to take out her purse from her arms.

One, two, three, four.

They are men's purses.

The old doctor: "..."

Song Yu: "..."

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is from someone else, but Xiao Songwen looks puzzled: "Mom, why do you put the money in four purses?"

Before in the alley, Pei Xiaoxiao desperately wanted to protect her and her brother, and Song Wen had already accepted this mother from the bottom of her heart.

Pei Xiaoxiao: "..."

It can't be said that it came from the gangster, right?

Will teach bad children.

She smiled and said nonsense: "Little Wenwen, this money is like eggs, you can't put it all in one basket, otherwise it will all break if you drop it."

Song Wen was even more confused: "But silver and copper plates won't break!"

Pei Xiaoxiao touched her head with a loving face: "Silly girl, the silver will not be broken, but it will be stolen. Put a few purses, the thief can only steal one at a time. He doesn't know that I have four, so the money is easy to use." It won't all be lost."

Song Wen's face was full of you, you are so powerful, the old doctor smiled and said nothing.

Song Ting leaned closer to Song Yu's ear and whispered, "Father, I feel she is acting weird today."

Staring at Pei Xiaoxiao's motherly radiance, Song Yu's eyes darkened.

Even the six-year-old brother Ting noticed her strangeness.

His suspicions were by no means groundless.

Pei Xiaoxiao puts all her attention on dressing up and appetite, and she never thinks about things.

At best it sounds innocent, at worst it sounds stupid.

How could she say such vaguely philosophical words?

With scorching eyes, the meaning of scrutiny should not be too obvious.

Pei Xiaoxiao braced herself, pretended not to see it, and poured out the broken silver in her purse.

One said.

Three two four money!

On average, less than nine yuan per person.

Is this what a human trafficker should have?

With a bitter face, she reluctantly pulled out three liang of silver and handed it to the old doctor.

The latter put away the money and kindly reminded: "Little lady, with your injury, you have to drink for at least half a month, otherwise it will easily leave hidden dangers."

Excluding the three days in the hospital, there are still twelve days left, and nine hundred Wen a day, wouldn't it cost ten taels or eight?
Pei Xiaoxiao's face turned green.

Where is she going to get money?

She only had three, two or four dollars in total.

Just at this moment, there was noise from the pharmacy outside.

After a while, a medicine boy came running in and said, "Master, there are two beggars who said that they are looking for a little lady with yellow hair, and they are here to receive payment."

Pei Xiaoxiao groaned, and touched the hairpin on her head: "They are here to look for me, let them in!"

After half an hour...

Looking at the backs of the two beggars leaving with silver hairpins, she sighed.

This is really a poor ghost.

Song Yu snorted coldly, "Why do you bother with so many things today?"

Pei Xiaoxiao: This is the original owner's fault.

It's a pity she couldn't say it out loud.

So aggrieved.

Suddenly, she remembered a detail in the book, it seems that after catching the traffickers, there is a reward, ten taels.

That was after the accident of the two children, and I don't know if there will be any.

but……

Pei Xiaoxiao stared at Song Yu with burning eyes: "There is a reward for catching traffickers, you go and get it!"

Song Yu's face darkened.

He really wanted to question her: You sold and rescued the two children for the reward of money?

When he was about to exit, he held back.

Xiao Songwen was snuggling up beside Pei Xiaoxiao, with a happy and dependent expression on her face.

If you really ask, the little girl will be sad.

Pei Xiaoxiao vaguely guessed what he wanted to say, and looked embarrassed.

She deliberately looked outside the door, and urged: "Go quickly, it's getting dark, if the government doesn't admit it tomorrow, it will be bad."

Song Yu gave her a cold look, took a deep breath, and slowly stood up while leaning on the back of the chair, beckoning the two children to follow him.

Pei Xiaoxiao was guilty, she didn't dare to look at him, and didn't notice Song Yu's strangeness.

But she heard him calling the two children to leave.

Pei Xiaoxiao pouted.

Knowing that she was injured, it was impossible to do anything to the two children at this moment, and like guarding against thieves, she was not allowed to stay alone with the children.

Who is this trying to scare off?
On second thought, she was quite happy.

This shows that he doesn't want to see her, and after that, the divorce should go smoothly.

Today, she had a lot of exercise and no one was around, so Pei Xiaoxiao was so bored that she fell asleep.

In a daze, she heard a very familiar sharp female voice.

"God, what kind of person is so determined to send the child to the wolf's den just to get a reward?"

"The child is not the flesh that fell from my body, I really don't feel bad!"
