Comprehensive film and television: Qingli

On this day, because it was Shen Shiyue's birthday, Shen Qingli suddenly had the idea of catching crabs to celebrate her aunt's birthday, so she took Er Yuehong out of the city and went to catch crabs in the river outside the city.

When the two men came to the river outside the city, they saw a ragged child catching crabs. The child saw the two men in rich clothes, looked up at them, then lowered his head and concentrated on catching crabs.

When Shen Qingli and Er Yuehong saw a child catching crabs here, they walked a little further away, intending to catch crabs there and not compete with the child.

When the child looked up again, he found that the two people were also catching crabs. He looked at the crabs he had caught and thought of his seriously ill grandmother at home.

He walked up to the two of them and tried to sell his crabs to them in a stiff tone.

He thought that if these two people could buy all his crabs, he could save time selling crabs, catch more crabs, and sell more money to pay for his grandmother's medical treatment.

Shen Qingli suggested catching crabs on a whim, and Er Yuehong was just there to keep Shen Qingli company.

So when he saw the child was selling crabs, he stopped catching crabs.

Shen Qingli turned and spoke to the child.

"Little boy, are these the crabs you caught?"

She pointed to the bamboo frame over there and continued.

"We want all those crabs you have. See how many you have. We'll give them to you at the normal price."

The child asked when he saw Shen Qingli took all his crabs.

"Do you want more? If you do, I can catch more."

In the child's expectant eyes, Shen Qingli nodded.

"Yes, of course. I'll take as many as you catch, and when you're done you'll be sent straight to the Hong Mansion."

After Shen Qingli finished speaking, she took out a tael of silver from her purse and handed it to him, then continued.

"This is the deposit. I'll give you the rest when you deliver the crabs."

The child took the money from Shen Qingli's hand and made a promise to Shen Qingli.

"I will definitely send it to you this afternoon."

Afterwards, Shen Qingli and Er Yuehong walked back. On the way back, Er Yuehong suddenly said to Shen Qingli.

"That kid has good aptitude and is a good candidate. What do you think about me taking him in as my disciple?"

After hearing what Er Yuehong said, Shen Qingli pursed her lips and chuckled, then teased him.

"I was wondering why you didn't say a word just now. So that's what you came up with. I think it's a good idea. Although the child's clothes are not well-dressed, the patches on his clothes are very good, which shows that he has a family."

She paused and continued.

"If you want to take him as your apprentice, you must obtain the consent of her family. In addition, you must also get the consent of my uncle."

After listening to Shen Qingli's words, Er Yuehong nodded.

"You're right. When he comes to deliver the crabs this afternoon, I'll ask his opinion. If he agrees, I'll take him to visit his family."

Soon it was afternoon, and Shen Qingli and Er Yuehong were waiting at the door for the child to come and deliver the crabs.

As the sun was setting, the child was running quickly towards Hong Mansion with a basket of crabs, fearing that if he was slow he would not be able to sell the crabs.

Shen Qingli and Er Yuehong saw the child running forward holding the crab from afar.

When the child ran over, Shen Qingli took the crab from his arms, handed it to the servants in the mansion, and asked the chef to cook it in advance.

She turned around and gave the money to the child. Then she used her eyes to signal Er Yuehong next to her, telling him, it's your turn.

After Er Yuehong received Shen Qingli's gaze, he took a step forward, walked in front of the child and said to him.

"What's your name?"

The child was stunned for a moment and replied.

"My name is Chenpi."

"Chenpi, I see that you are very talented. Would you like to be my disciple?"

Chen Pi didn't expect that the young man in front of him, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, actually wanted to take him in as his apprentice, but he was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

So he plopped down on his knees and spoke to Er Yuehong.

"Of course I am willing to be your disciple, but my grandmother is seriously ill now. I beg you to save her life."

Er Yuehong helped Chen Pi up and said to him.

"Now that I'm your master, I naturally can't just stand by and watch your grandmother die. You lead the way, and we'll take people over to take a look."

After saying that, Er Yuehong asked someone to call the doctor from the mansion, took a few people with him, and was about to follow Chen Pi home to see his grandmother.

When everyone was gathered and they were about to go out, Shen Qingli said to Er Yuehong.

"I'll go with you."

Although Er Yuehong was a little surprised, he did not refute her.

In this way, a group of people followed Chenpi to his home.

On the way back, Chenpi was probably worried that his grandmother might be passing away too quickly, so the group arrived at his house very quickly.

As soon as he entered the house, he found that Chen Pi's grandmother was ill. Chen Pi's eyes turned red and he wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Er Yuehong.

Er Yuehong asked the doctor to check on Chenpi's grandmother, and then took the others out of the house in order not to disturb the doctor.

Doctor Chen Pi had already gone in to see his grandmother, and he didn't struggle. Even after Er Yuehong released him, he just stood outside quietly, waiting.

After a while, the doctor came out.

He bowed and reported to Er Yuehong and Shen Qingli.

"Master, cousin, the old man inside is suffering from malnutrition and a cold that he didn't receive prompt treatment, which has led to him having typhoid fever. Fortunately, he was treated in time, otherwise he might have developed a chronic illness. I'll prescribe some medicine. Take it on time and get some rest, and he'll be fine."

Then, the doctor took out a prescription and handed it to Er Yuehong. After giving the prescription to Er Yuehong, he thought for a moment and said.

"There's another thing I should note. This old man must have overworked before. He can't work so hard anymore and needs to recuperate properly."

Er Yuehong handed the prescription to Chen Pi.

"You heard everything, what are you going to do?"

Chen Pi clutched the prescription tightly, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. He wanted to take his grandmother to the city and take good care of her.

But now he even has to rely on Er Yuehong to hire a doctor for his grandmother, and he simply does not have the conditions to bring his grandmother to live in the city.

Moreover, Er Yuehong was willing to accept him as his apprentice and help his grandmother find a doctor, which was already a great favor. How could he trouble him again?

Shen Qingli seemed to see his dilemma and spoke to him.

"Chenpi, I have a house next to the Hong Mansion that needs someone to take care of it. How about I ask you and your grandmother to take care of it for me?"

Chen Pi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly agreed. He secretly made up his mind to repay Shen Qingli and Er Yuehong in the future.
