Lan Ning came to the county town tonight precisely because of these beggars.

The beggars sleep outside the city at night, in these weed-covered places where they sleep for the night.

There are a lot of tall weeds, so even without a quilt, it won't be too cold inside.

Lan Ning was looking for his target among so many beggars.

She didn't dare to look for him when there were too many people around, as she was so small and was afraid of being robbed. Although these people were beggars and pitiful people, they were not necessarily all good people.

After searching for a long time, when she was about to give up and look for someone else, she finally found the right one.

There were two young children huddled together tightly, shivering in the cold night.

"Puff, puff."

Lanning made two sounds with his mouth.

The two people who were not asleep at all immediately opened their eyes.

“You, who are you?”

I subconsciously wanted to ask her what she wanted to do, but when I found out it was just a child, I got scared and disappeared without a trace.

"Are you short of money?"

Lan Ning was very direct and took out ten cents from his sleeve (space).

"Do you want it?"

When they saw the money, the two beggars' eyes immediately brightened.

"what do you want to do?"

Money did not make them lose their minds. Instead, years of hard life made them very alert.

"I want you to help me spread a message, most importantly, let the people in the government know this news."

"What news? We won't do anything that's dangerous."

It was not difficult to spread the news and let the people in the yamen know it. The only worry was whether there was any danger. Although they lived in hunger and cold all year round, being alive was better than dying.

"Don't worry, there's no danger. Just help me distribute it and let the people in the government know about it. Here's fifty coins. If you get it done, I'll give you another two hundred coins."

Lan Ning didn't have much money, and the two hundred coins were a huge expense for her.

Seeing so much money, the two little beggars' eyes lit up.

Although this amount of money is not much for other people, it is very generous for them. Beggars like them are often asked to help pass messages, but because they are children, other beggars also exclude them, so many people will not ask them at all.

Today someone asked them to help spread some words, and gave them so much money. Usually, people asked beggars like them for help, but it was just a matter of a few cents, so how could they not be willing to accept so much money?

"What do you want us to spread?"

Seeing that the two little beggars were willing, Lan Ning hooked his little finger.

"Come here, I want to tell you..."

The three little heads came together and talked in gibberish for a long time. Lan Ning left only after making sure that the two little beggars remembered her words.

After making sure there was no one around, he rode Dabai home.

No one knew that the two guys left home at night.

They didn't go to set up the stall the next day. Although there were still some chicken feet, there was no marinade. The marinade was kicked over by the dogs. Now they were just waiting for good news.

Although she didn't go to set up the stall, Lan Ning still went to the county town because she had to find out some things.

Grandma Lan did not try to stop her granddaughter. Although her granddaughter was young, she had her own ideas. During the past few months when she was injured, it was her granddaughter who took care of the house, and she did a better job than before.

When the people on the ox cart saw Lan Ning, many of those who usually looked down on her couldn't help but ridicule her.

She was very unhappy that she had booked Old Man Lan's ox cart for several days in a row, which resulted in them having to walk to the county town.

They talked about their own things, and Lan Ning did not say a word in response.

If a dog bites you, would you bite it back?

She had a lot of things to think about every day and had no time to think about how to argue with these country women.

After arriving in the county town, Lan Ning first strolled slowly on the street, listening to the conversations of passers-by. Not hearing any useful information, she walked towards Chen Tian's meat stall.

Chen Tian was taking a break after having just finished a busy job. He was very happy to see Lan Ning from afar.

"Girl Lan."

"Uncle Chen."

"Your family's affairs..."

Lanning shook his head.

"It hasn't been resolved yet. I came here to ask you, do you know which restaurant in town has poor business but a very nice owner?"

How long will it take to resolve this matter? The money they earned before was used to buy meat for stewing every day, but all the stewed food was kicked over by those hooligans that day, resulting in their family not having much money left.

By then, we would have to give the two little beggars 200 coins if they got the job done, and our family would be even poorer.

So she had to find a way to make some money.

"I know. The owner of the restaurant where I bought chicken feet for you the first time was very nice. I know him well. But because the dishes in the restaurant have always tasted the same, the business is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in business for much longer."

"Then can you take me there? I want to see him about something."

"What's the matter? Never mind. I still have some meat left to sell. When I'm done, I'll take you there."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

Chen Tian waved his hand.

[Lady Lan isn't mad at me for what happened yesterday, so I'll try to help her if I can.]

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

Lan Ning thanked him again.

Chen Tian didn't have much meat left. He only had two or three pounds left at the end, but there were no more customers. Chen Tian simply closed the stall and prepared to take Lan Ning to the restaurant.

"Uncle Chen, please sell me this meat. My family is out of meat, and grandma and the others need more meat to replenish their bodies."

Seeing that Chen Tian was truly doing this for her own good, Lan Ning couldn't bear to let him suffer any loss.

"No, no, if I can't sell all the meat, I can take it back and eat it myself."

Chen Tian just thought that Lan Ning wanted to help him, so he wanted to buy the two kilograms of meat.

Their family already lived a hard life, and pork was not cheap. He couldn't let her spend so much money just to help him get rid of the pork.

"Sell it to me, I really want it."

Lan Ning's eyes were clear and there was no evasion in her small eyes. It could be seen that she was telling the truth.

Chen Tian didn't know why, but he couldn't treat this little girl of four or five years old as a little girl. He always felt that she was an adult.

He seems very mature in everything he says and does.

The pork was put into Lan Ning's backpack, and the two walked to the restaurant.

Along the way, Chen Tian was afraid that Lan Ning could not keep up with him, so he walked very slowly with the small backpack on his back. Lan Ning followed him with small steps with empty hands.

After a while, the two arrived at the restaurant. The waiter inside also knew Chen Tian. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly and happily welcomed him in.

"Brother Chen San, why did you think of coming here today? Are you here to eat or to see the shopkeeper?"

The waiter stepped aside to let the two in, then followed Chen Tian inside.

"Xiao Wu, I'm here to see your shopkeeper. I have something to tell him."

"Okay, wait a moment, the shopkeeper is upstairs, I'll go call him."

The shopkeeper reserved a room for himself in the restaurant so that he could rest when he felt sleepy.

The shopkeeper had just woken up when there was a knock on the door. He didn't even bother to sleep when he heard the knock and got out of bed.

When he opened the door, he saw Xiaowu outside. He straightened his clothes and went downstairs first.

"What's the matter?"

"Boss, Brother Chen San is here to see you. He has something to ask."

"Third brother, I understand."
