The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 331 Don't worry
She could not eat any more of the pomegranate, and putting down the fried dough stick in her hand, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands.

At the same time, he asked Fudong to bring those little beggars over.

There were several little beggars, the oldest one looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest one was probably five or six years old.

With a dirty face and a pair of clear eyes that showed three parts of vigilance and three parts of eager desire, he glanced at Shi Liu and then quickly lowered his head, fiddling with his fingers, and it was obvious that he was restrained.

It just so happened that there were no other customers at the soy milk and fried dough sticks stall at the moment, so Shi Liu asked them all to sit down and ordered a bowl of soy milk and two fried dough sticks for each of them.

The stall owner was not happy to see beggars at the table. With beggars sitting here, who would come to their stall?

But seeing that Shi Liu ordered several bowls of soy milk and fried dough sticks at once, even if there were customers coming in the near future, they might not order so much. How can he not do business?

Looking at these little beggars, they are all young and pitiful. They don’t have the ability to give alms to them. Here is a kind-hearted girl who is willing to give them food. If they stop her, wouldn’t that be a sin?
So, the stall owner quickly brought the soy milk and fried dough sticks without saying a word.

The oldest beggar took a quick look at Shi Liu and confirmed that the beautiful girl in front of him was really going to give them food, so he grabbed the fried dough sticks impatiently and started to eat them voraciously with the others.

Seeing how busy they were, Shi Liu originally wanted to let them eat slowly, but she swallowed the food back silently. She just asked Fu Dong to order a few bowls of hot mutton soup for them.

He drank the soy milk, ate the fried dough sticks, and also ate the delicious mutton offal soup that made his tongue swallow. Not a single drop was left, and the bowl was licked clean.

The older beggar stood up with the others and bowed to Shi Liu. "Thank you, young lady. Thank you, young lady! You are really beautiful and kind-hearted, like a fairy from heaven! You are a little girl under the Bodhisattva. You will surely be blessed with great fortune for your kindness—"

This little guy is really good at talking, sophisticated, tactful, and clever, but for some reason he makes people feel a little sad.

Shi Liu couldn't help but look at him again, "What's your name, and how old are you?"

"In reply to your benefactor, my name is Goudan, and I am fourteen years old!"

Fourteen? He doesn't look like that. Shi Liu thought he was thirteen at most.

Looking at the other beggar children who looked younger and younger, Shi Liu was silent, and asked Fu Dong to order a few trays of braised pork buns for them to pack, and then let them go.

Goudan and a few others bowed to Shiliu again, holding the braised pork buns and looking back every few steps, until they turned the corner and then they started running.

Fudong paid the bill and caught up with Shiliu, and the two of them went back to Lihua Hutong along the same route.

After entering the alley, Fudong looked at Shi Liu with an expression that seemed to stop him from speaking.

How could Shi Liu not see it? She couldn't help but glance at her, "Why are you looking at me? Just say whatever you want to say."

Fu Dong hesitated for a while and said, "Those beggars are quite pitiful."

Shi Liu sighed slightly and said, "It is indeed pitiful, but there are too many pitiful people in this world, and there are countless beggars like them. With my current ability, I can't help them. Even if I can help, how much can I help?"

I can help these few, but not those few.

A welfare home system is not something that can be established just by thinking about it.

Even if she could immediately find a large place to accommodate all these homeless beggars, what then?
Giving them three meals a day, shelter and clothing, and keeping them from being hungry or cold, is that enough?

It seems not to work.

So, now she is just thinking about it.

It's okay to have a kind heart, but before you have the ability to do so, kindness cannot be expressed casually. It can be big or small. If you cannot afford to be kind, you will only hurt others and yourself.

Fu Dong seemed to be thinking about something, and then he closed his mouth and said no more. After returning and getting on the carriage, Shi Liu went to inspect the Children's Playhouse, the Herbal Medicine Restaurant, and the Sugar Shop. The city was also very busy during the New Year, and even on New Year's Eve, many shops were open as usual.

Most of them are only closed on New Year’s Eve and the first day of the New Year.

The same goes for Tongwanzhai and the herbal medicine restaurant, and the candy shop is even open on New Year's Eve.

Business is good at the end of the year, and business at the beginning of the year is not bad either, especially in the Children's Toy Store. Because of the new Lu Ban locks, there are many customers coming in and out.

The students in the academy were all on vacation, and they called their friends to come to Tongwanzhai, so the business was quite considerable.

The same goes for candy shops. During the first month of the year, friends and relatives visit each other to pay New Year's greetings, and giving candy as gifts has become particularly popular in the past two years.

Shi Liu watched outside the shop for a while and saw that customers were coming in and out continuously.

It was a busy morning, so Shi Liu did not go in to make trouble. He just looked around and then went to the herbal medicine restaurant. He had lunch there and took a look at the restaurant's accounts for the past few days presented by the shopkeeper.

In the afternoon, just as I returned to Lihua Hutong, Liu Quan from Liu Dong’s family came.

When Shi Liu heard that Liu Quan was coming, he quickly asked someone to come in and talk.

Liu Quan first bowed his hands to greet Shi Liu, then said, "Miss Shi Liu, my master asked me to tell him that the matter has been reported to the higher-ups. I believe there will be good news soon, so don't worry, Miss Shi Liu."

Hearing this, Shi Liu breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that Mr. Liu was so reliable in doing things.

This backer and business partner is really great!
"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Liu. Please take my thanks back to Mr. Liu. I will treat Mr. Liu to tea another day."

Shi Liu said this with a smile and asked Hu Zhen to send Liu Quan out.

After hearing the good news from Liu Dong's family, Shi Liu felt relieved and did not delay any longer. She boarded the boat back early the next morning.

It was still early when we got off the boat in the gale.

On the official road back to Xiahe Village, I met an acquaintance by chance.

Fan Jin, who was sitting in the mule cart, suddenly heard Hu Zhenyu's voice outside. He was startled and quickly dropped the book in his hand. He lifted the curtain and stuck his head out. He saw the carriage behind him. Wasn't the driver Hu Zhen?

Fan Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Bafang to move his carriage aside. When the carriage behind drove up and was parallel to the mule carriage, he looked at the carriage and said loudly, "Miss Pomegranate!"

After sitting on the boat for most of the day, Shi Liu, who was feeling exhausted, was leaning against the pillow and preparing to take a nap. Suddenly, she heard the voice outside that sounded full of surprise and excitement, and she was startled.

范晋
What a coincidence.

After they revealed their identities after a conversation at Wuming Tower that day, she never saw Fan Jin again, but Fan Jin asked Zhang Ge'er to bring her things three times in succession.

Once it was a very interesting book on geography, once it was a bag of small and exquisite snacks, and once it was a sheep that was not carved very delicately but it was obvious that the carver had put a lot of effort into it.

In this life, her zodiac sign is monkey, but in her previous life, Li Shiliu was a sheep.

It was the same as in the previous life, except that this time the person responsible for transferring various things was Li Rongzhang.

I will never have those things that girls like to eat, like milk tea and cakes, in my life, but the ones Fan Jin gave me were all thoughtful.

Shi Liu knew that the person on the other side must be staring at her curtain without blinking. As long as she lifted the curtain, she would be able to see that burning gaze.

She raised her hand, then quickly retracted it.
