Chapter 9 More Brothers and Sisters
Mama Wu came out.

"I'll see you off." Wu Ma took Zhao Ling'er's hand and walked towards the dark place for a while.

"Here, why did you come to find me in the middle of the night? What happened?" Wu Ma gently put the money in Zhao Linger's palm and asked in a low voice.

"Oh, it's nothing, Wu Ma, I'll pay you back when I have money, I'll go first." Zhao Linger broke free from Wu Ma's hand and ran.

After running for a while, Zhao Linger was out of breath.Alas, I am not born for sports, I should have practiced running more often.

Nanyun Lane... Where is it?There is not even a street sign in the middle of the night, and I don't know how to find it!

Let's go to the inn first to see if Zhou You is back.

"Zhou You!" Seeing him sitting at the front desk, Zhao Linger hurried over.

"It's so late, why did you come back?" Zhou You asked in surprise.

"Can you accompany me to Nanyun Lane? I don't know how to get there, and it's too dark, so I'm a little scared to go by myself. I'll pay you for running errands!" Zhao Linger asked.

"Nanyun Lane? What are you doing there?"

"Oh, don't ask, I'll tell you on the way. Can you go away now? I'm in a hurry!"

"You wait."

Zhou You went to the back and called another guy and asked him to serve at the front desk first.

"Do you need a carriage?" Zhou You asked.

"It would be great if you could find a carriage!" Zhao Linger said happily.

"move!"

"You haven't told me what to do in Nanyun Lane? It's so late? Is there anything urgent?" Sitting in the carriage, Zhou You asked.

Zhao Ling'er roughly explained what happened.

"You're so young, it's good to be able to take care of yourself. You borrow and give money to a stranger in the middle of the night. Why are you so meddlesome?"

"I don't know why, but I feel it's my responsibility to help him. If I don't help, I feel very sad."

"Hey! We're here!" the coachman shouted in front.

Zhao Ling'er opened the curtain and took a look: "Go through Nanyun Lane and go south."

"There is no one left any further!" replied the coachman.

"Go straight, I'll show you the way."

Zhao Linger lay on the window.

Two or three miles to the south, there was a small thatched hut on a barren grassland, with a tree as thick as a bowl beside it.

The two got out of the car.

"30 Wen." The coachman looked at them.

Zhou You glared at Zhao Linger: "Remember to return it to me!"

"You wait here, we will go back later." Zhao Ling'er told the coachman.

By moonlight.

"Li Heng!" Zhao Ling'er knocked on the door.

The door opened.

When Li Heng saw Zhao Ling'er, he turned around silently and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Zhao Ling'er took a closer look, only to find that there was a person lying on the ground, and a four or five-year-old child was sleeping beside him.

"Is your mother asleep?" Zhao Linger asked in a low voice.

Li Heng shook his head.

"Mother! Mother!" The little girl suddenly cried and got up, lying on her mother's body.

"Mother, wake up! Mother, wake up!" The little girl shook vigorously, but her mother didn't make a sound.

Zhao Linger's heart sank.

"Mother, wake up! Mother, wake up!" The little girl kept shaking.

"Don't cry!" Li Heng suddenly scolded her: "Mom, she's already dead."

"I want mother! I want mother! I want mother to hold me to sleep! I want mother to hold me to sleep!" The little girl cried heart-rendingly.Her voice sounded very harsh in the silence of the night.

Zhao Ling'er walked over and hugged her: "Good boy, stop crying, sister hugs you to sleep, okay?"

"I want my mother! I want my mother!" The little girl struggled not to be hugged by Zhao Ling'er, crying and shouting.

"Come here!" Li Heng ordered her.

The little girl walked over crying.

Li Heng hugged her, let her lie on his arms, and patted her with his hands.

The girl gradually quieted down.

It seems that she is still late.

Zhao Ling'er didn't know what to say for a while.

After a moment of silence, Zhou You signaled Li Heng to come out and speak.

Li Heng put his sister gently on the ground and followed Zhou You out.

"Tomorrow we will bury your mother together. From now on, what will you and your sister live on?" Zhou You asked.

Li Heng shook his head.

Zhao Ling'er said to Zhou You: "You can find someone to help Li Heng tomorrow morning. I will pay for everything."

Then he said to Li Heng: "After you bury your mother, bring your younger sister to me. Let's think about how to live in the future together. Don't worry, with me here, you and your younger sister will never go hungry again."

Li Heng nodded.

"It's getting late, Zhou You and I will go back first. After you bury your mother tomorrow, remember to come to Junpeng Inn to find me." Zhao Linger instructed Li Heng again.

From now on, she has another brother and sister.

Lying on the bed, Zhao Ling'er felt confused.

If she had money with her at the time and gave it directly to Li Heng, and asked him to take his mother to see a doctor, would there still be a glimmer of hope?
Why is everyone so poor?Li Heng, Wu Ma, and even Zhou You!Why should everyone be influenced by money?One lost his mother, one was disciplined by his wife, and the other couldn't marry a wife...

Money is really important!

Now I still owe Wu Ma 10 Wen, Zhou You 60 Wen, and Li Heng and his sister, as well as the room and board expenses of the inn... It seems that I have to speed up the speed of making money!
