Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 65
Du Heng was talking in the inner hall, when he suddenly heard a little girl crying and begging from outside, he only heard "Uncle shopkeeper, please show kindness, first give Xiaofen some medicine on credit..."

Du Heng frowned slightly, stood up and quickly walked out of the inner hall, and soon came to the store in front.A young man saw Du Heng first, and hurriedly bowed and called: "Master..." When the others heard this voice, they turned around and saw that Du Heng was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.Du Heng waved his hand, walked up to the little girl who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed desperately, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The front cabinet manager Liu hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Going back to the boss's house, this little girl's mother is seriously ill, and she has no money to buy medicine..."

Du Heng nodded. She had heard and seen what Guanshi Liu hadn't said. The little girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for credit.

The little girl who was kowtowing heard Guanshi Liu calling her boss, she suddenly raised her head and saw Du Heng, then walked a few steps to Du Heng, crying and shouting: "My kind son, please give Xiaofen the medicine on credit, Xiaofen I promise to return you a lot of points in the future.”

Du Heng saw that the little girl was thin and thin. Although it was early spring, the weather was still very cold. She didn't feel warm even in a leather robe, but the little girl was only wearing a white starched one. She knelt on the ground and shivered with the cold, her little face was blue and white, and her lips turned a very pale purple from the cold.Seeing this little girl, Du Heng, who had suffered from cold and hunger, suddenly remembered his former self.

Unknowingly, Du Heng's tone showed a hint of pity and sympathy, and she said softly, "Get up first and speak slowly."

The little girl who called herself Xiaofen saw that the boy's boss was very kind, and hope was raised in her heart again. She stood up and lowered her head, crying and talking.It turned out that Xiaofenniang got sick in the first month, because the family had no money, and there was a custom of not seeing patients during the first month, so Xiaofenniang insisted on holding out for half a month, until February, when she couldn't bear it, and then went to the pharmacy see a doctor.Because the days dragged on for a long time, and minor illnesses turned into serious ones, Dr. Sun saw that the two women were really poor, so he waived her consultation fee, but Jiren Medicine Store was not run by Shantang, and Xiaofenniang's medicine expenses were as high as Tens of taels of silver, of course, can not be waived, Xiao Fenniang heard that the drug fee was 17 taels, she didn't care about anything, and immediately left the pharmacy with strength.Xiaofen is a very filial child, she sneaked back immediately after sending her mother home, knelt on the ground begging for medicine on credit, and Du Heng happened to meet her.

"Doctor Sun, what's wrong with Xiaofen's mother? Is there any doctor?" Du Heng heard that Doctor Sun offered to waive Xiaofen's mother's consultation fee, and immediately spoke to him in a much gentler tone than before. They all heard a hint of warmth.

"Back home, Xiao Fen's mother has a cold. It would have been better if she had seen a doctor earlier, because after a while, the wind and cold turned into a lung disease. The condition is indeed much more serious, but it is not without a doctor. If she can take the medicine on time , it can still be cured." Dr. Sun is very good at internal medicine, and he is sure to cure Xiao Fenniang's illness, but Xiao Fen's family is poor and cannot afford the medicine, so there is nothing he can do about it .

Xiaofen heard that this little shopkeeper meant to prepare medicine on credit, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Du Heng and said, "My lord, please give Xiaofen medicine on credit, Xiaofen will definitely work hard to make money and return it to you."

Du Heng thought for a while, then asked Guanshi Liu, "How much is her medical expenses?"

Liu Guanshi hurriedly said: "Going back to the master, the total is 17 taels or three dollars."

Du Heng hummed lightly, then turned around and ordered: "Nurse, give 17 taels of silver to Guanshi Liu. Guanshi Liu, ask someone to prescribe medicine for this little girl."

Liu Guanshi was taken aback, and instinctively looked at shopkeeper Zhang, how dare he take this money.The whole shop is owned by the owner, how dare he ask for money from the owner, as long as the owner sends a word, the medicine fee will be waived.Liu Guanshi didn't know about the last time the new owner took the medicine and gave him money, so he was in such a difficult situation.

Zhang Mujing nodded with a smile and said: "Old Liu, follow the master's orders. Hurry up and get the medicine." Liu Guanshi responded, ordered the young man to get the prescription to get the medicine, and then led Mammy Liao to the side to pay the bill.

Xiaofen didn't expect that this boss didn't give her medicine on credit, but gave her money for her, so she couldn't help being stunned. Seeing this, Dr. Sun immediately urged: "Son, don't hesitate to thank our boss..."

Xiaofen, who was kneeling in front of Du Heng, immediately kowtowed desperately. Du Heng's face was cold, but her heart was soft. She couldn't see that Xiaofen's forehead was blue and purple, so she immediately reached out to support Xiaofen. Fen said kindly: "Stop knocking, get up and get the medicine and go back to make medicine for your mother, so that you can take care of your mother."

Xiaofen looked up at Du Heng, her eyes were red with gratitude, and she tremblingly said: "Master, Xiaofen must work hard to make money, and return the money to you as soon as possible."

Mammy Liao who came back after paying the money couldn't help but think about it. She looked at Xiaofen seriously and nodded slightly.Momo Liao thought to herself: Although this little girl is thin and thin, she looks pretty and her eyes are clear and clean. She is a servant girl who loyally serves her lord. The girl is currently short of people. If she can accept this little girl, it would be a good thing to have both.

It's no wonder Liao Mama thinks so, a small family can't save one or two taels of silver a year, and buying a good maid can only cost five taels of silver at most, and just now I paid 17 taels of silver for Xiaofen's medicine Money, the money is enough to buy three maids.Xiaofen is just a child, she does everything without eating or drinking, and it will take at least seven or eight years to save 17 taels of silver.

"The matter of money is not urgent, go back and take care of your mother first, little girl, you have a mother to be filial to, how wonderful!" Du Heng thought of his mother, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It's no longer possible to get sick.

Xiaofen was so moved that she shed tears, kowtowed again and again: "Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor! Please show me the address, so Xiaofen can come to pay back the money in the future."

Mammy Liao heard that Xiaofen's tone of voice was not like that of a country child, so she couldn't help but fall in love with her more and more.Pulling Xiaofen up, Mother Liao asked with a smile: "Xiaofen, how old are you this year, where is your family, what do your parents do, how many brothers and sisters are there in your family?"

Xiaofen lowered her head and whispered sadly: "Auntie, Xiaofen's house is in Yajiao Hutong, mother takes Xiaofen and her twin sister to live, and the three of us, mother and daughter, live by washing needles."
