Poor children

Chapter 9 Overcoming Blood Relatives?There is an elder brother and a younger brother!
一
"Master! She is" Xiang Xing said in surprise
"Shut up!" The second lady hurriedly stopped her.

Seeing the three children eating sweets and chatting there, the second lady was very emotional. Although this child was born into a wealthy family, he was not destined to be wealthy. His mother died early, and his father simply thought that she was not there. Everyone in the family was her blood relative. No one dared to recognize her, and there were a few black-eyed chickens who were trying to harm her.

"Poor, come here," the second lady waved to her.

Hearing this, the poor boy obediently walked over to the second lady and saluted, "Thank you madam, the two young masters and my sister for your help."

"You're quite a small person and you're not as tall as a table, but you're quite annoying!" The second lady's affection showed on her face, "How come your child is so good-looking?"

The second lady took her hand, and the pauper frowned in pain, "What's wrong?" He held her hand under the lamp and took a closer look, "Hey! Why are your hands full of cuts? Xiangxing, hurry up... "

Xiang Xing hurriedly took the medicine and applied it on it. Paoer bit his lip to endure the pain, and layers of sweat broke out on his head.

"How did you get the injury on your hand?" the second lady asked
"My grandma is sick and can't get up from the bed these days. I went to water the ground for her, and the blisters on my hands broke," the poor man replied.

The second lady wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "How can you water the ground for such a small person? Can you hold a bucket?"

"Go back to Madam, you can carry it, but the empty bucket is too heavy to carry much water."

After finishing the medicine over there, Chengzhe came over and handed the bag of sweets to the poor boy and said, "Little sister, take all these sweets and eat them!"

"She is your sister, you will call her sister from now on" the second lady said

As mentioned earlier, the poor boy was born at the turn of two years, and Chengzhe was born on the morning of the fifth day of the same year.

"Then sister, I'll give you all the candies to eat."

"Thank you, Master." The poor boy took it and held it in his arms.

"Poor" the second lady said to her, "Don't call them young master, that Chenghe is your elder brother, and this Chengzhe is your younger brother."

The pauper had never been treated with such a soft voice by a woman of his age. His eyes instantly became wet, "Madam, you are like my mother."

The second lady also cried when she heard this, "My poor son, have you eaten?"

"I haven't eaten yet. Normally, Mother Su only gives me and grandma three steamed buns and a bowl of vegetable soup every day. But today, she didn't give me a meal because I did something wrong."

"Chenghe, take your brothers and sisters to the main room. There are snacks on the table."

"Yes" After saying that, he took the two of them into the house.

"Master, that child! The old lady told me not to recognize her, because she is a blood relative," Xiang Xing said with a hint of worry.
"Listen to their nonsense, do you believe it? What if she refuses to recognize her blood relatives? If she doesn't recognize them, is she not a blood relative?" The second lady then lay down and drank tea again.
"I saw that the child's eyebrows were full of heroism, and his face looked very noble. When her mother was in her arms, she was abused a lot by others. She didn't even shed it at that time. Her mother gave birth to her for three years. God, there is no doctor, no midwife, and she was thrown in the firewood house in the cold winter months, but she survived, and she never had a meal. She was fed by rice soup, she is really a blessing people……"

"Hearing the master say this seems to make sense."

"Go and pack some more snacks, and bring out a few pills of the ginseng and typhoid medicine I have in the house. If you can be kind to her, be nice to her, but don't let those troublesome people know about it. "

The children over there had finished eating snacks and came out again. The second lady held the poor boy in her arms again, "My son, it's getting late today. You won't be able to get home alone. How about asking that sister to go with you?" ?" The second lady pointed her finger at the apricot
"Yes! Thank you for your hard work, sister." The poor man saluted Xiangxing, and then said goodbye to the second lady and the two young masters.

One large and one small came out of the north courtyard again carrying their things...

After walking for a long time, the two of them passed by the kitchen and exited the corner door, entered the yard where the servants lived, walked to the end and entered the west wing. It was already dark in the house, and the two of them were so poor that they didn't even have a lamp. Only the lantern Xingti brought could be vaguely seen

On the kang, wrapped in a tattered quilt, was an old woman who had been breathing heavily.

"Aunt Zhang!" Xiang Xing called her

"Water...water..." Aunt Zhang was ill and weak and spoke in a very low voice.

The poor boy poured half a bowl of water into a pottery jar with a broken mouth on the table and handed it to Xiang Xing. Xiang Xing helped Aunt Zhang to sit half-sitting against the wall and fed her with water.

"Poor boy, take a snack and dissolve it in water." Xiang Xing said to the poor boy. He also went down to the ground and took a pill to treat typhoid fever and said to Aunt Zhang, "Auntie, this is the medicine that the second lady ordered me to bring. Please wait. If you eat it, the disease will heal faster." After saying that, he put the pills into Aunt Zhang's mouth. Aunt Zhang chewed hard for a long time, and Xiangxing handed her some water to drink.

"Sister, the snack has melted." Paoer brought another bowl.
"Come here and feed it to your grandma. It's getting late and I have to go back." After that, he told the poor girl to put away the ginseng and the remaining pills, then turned and went out.

After walking out for a few steps, the pauper chased me out, "Sister! Your lantern."

"Keep it for you, be careful not to feed it into your grandma's nose."

"Sister, take it! It's dark, I'm far away, and I'm brave enough to bring a lantern. It's okay for us here, we can still see clearly with the moonlight."

"Why are you scaring me so much, girl? I don't think the darkness is scary if you don't tell me." He took the lantern and left.
The poor boy came into the house again and climbed onto the kang on the small stool to feed his grandma.

"What is this and why is it so delicious?" Aunt Zhang seemed to be more energetic than before.
"This is the snack that the second lady rewarded. It's naturally delicious." The poor boy took another spoonful and put it in the aunt's mouth.

"Amitabha...! I didn't expect that an old woman like me would be able to eat such delicacies in my lifetime. Even if I die, I will be satisfied. But why did the second lady reward you with snacks?" Aunt Zhang knew that she was born poor, and she was afraid that one day the host's family would change. If the hexagram is revealed, the poor boy’s life will be in danger again.
"The second lady loves Pao'er very much, and she even asked me to call the two young masters brother and brother," said Pao'er.

Hearing what she said, Aunt Zhang knew something in her mind. Since she said it, she was not admitting it, and the second lady's call to the children to be brothers and sisters must have meant no harm. People often said that this lady was a Bodhisattva, so she should be able to rest assured.

Xiangxing returned to the North Courtyard to reply to the second lady, telling her about the conditions of her grandparents and grandson. They had no food to eat, no warmth to wear, a shabby house, and not even a quilt to cover their whole bodies.
"Master, these two grandsons are very pitiful. Do you want me to send you something?"

"If you don't ask for recognition over there, how can you send something so arrogantly?"

"Didn't Madam say that she wanted to help?" Xiangxing took off the jewelry on the second lady's body and helped her change clothes.

"Of course we have to help. Would it be a good thing if the child becomes successful one day?" The second lady came to the cave and sat down. "It's just that we have to help without leaving any trace. Don't let others use it to find fault with us. The one in the west courtyard is eager for her." die"

"I have to say that this child is very well-behaved and sensible, and his appearance is adorable. It's a pity that he has suffered so much since he was born."

"You can say it is! I also feel sorry for this child, and I really want to love her." After saying this, the second lady sighed.

"That……?"

"After school is over at noon tomorrow, you can call Chenghe to come..."
