A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!
Chapter 142 The Dilapidated Temple is Surrounded
What I was trying to say was, do you guys want to find a long-term job?
I want to use you for work, with room and board provided, and a monthly wage, but you'll have to sign a contract of servitude. Are you willing?
Lin He'er encountered these little beggars again today, and in the end, she couldn't bear to see them continue to beg in the city. Since there weren't many of them, and she was preparing to open a workshop, she simply decided to take them all in!
Upon hearing this, the little beggars were all excited to have enough to eat and not have to live in a dilapidated temple. They all looked at the older children next to them, waiting for their older brothers to make a decision!
Upon hearing what Lin He'er said, Luan Ge desperately suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked up at the person sitting at the table to ask;
Madam, are you serious? You'll use us as long as we sign a contract of servitude?
of course it's true.
My shop is short-staffed. Although you are a bit young, you can do some of the easier work.
You've been in the city for so long, you should know what my shop sells. Right now, I don't have enough workers at home, so I thought of you.
Seeing how seriously Luan Ge took the work, Lin He'er explained it to him in detail.
Madam, we sell ourselves only to work, not to do bad things. You cannot beat or scold us at will, or resell us!
The way he said that made Lin He'er feel like this kid didn't really believe her!
Don't worry, my servants are treated well. I run a legitimate business. The reason I'm selling you into servitude is because the things in the shop can't be shared outside. If you come with me, you must keep your mouths shut when you go out and never reveal how the things in the shop are made!
After hearing what Lin He'er said, Brother Luan finally believed that everyone had really met kind people!
He hurriedly led the children beside him to kneel down and kowtow to Lin He'er!
Oh dear, get up quickly, the ground is cold!
Seeing the little rascals earnestly banging their heads on the ground a few times made Lin He'er both laugh and cry!
Brother Luan, let them get up.
Lin He'er checked the children gathered in the yard; including Luan Ge, there were only seven.
What about the two other children?
Madam, one of our children is sick. We came out to find food and left one child in the dilapidated temple to take care of.
Madam, please save Little Grape! She is very ill, and we have no money to go to the clinic. She is about to die!
As Luan Ge spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to Lin He'er.
Get up, stop kowtowing. Take me to the local temple, I want to go take a look!
When Lin He'er heard that one of the children was very ill, she didn't have time to say much and immediately instructed the other children to stay in the backyard and have Cao'er help look after them.
He took Luan Ge with him, called Meng Xing to go home and get the carriage, and the three of them went to the Earth God Temple in the west of the city.
The Earth God Temple in the west of the city is quite far from the main street. Lin He'er never imagined that the little beggars would have to walk such a long distance every day to beg for food.
Madam, we go everywhere in the county town. If we don't travel to many places, we won't be able to find anything to eat.
Lin He'er felt a tightness in her chest after hearing Luan Ge's words.
Meng Xing drove the horse-drawn carriage and, guided by Luan Ge, arrived at the Earth God Temple.
This local temple is not small, but due to years of disrepair, it can no longer be considered a complete building.
Looking from the front, the left side of the temple has mostly collapsed.
The temple gate was nowhere to be found. In broad daylight, Lin He'er stood in front of the dilapidated temple and felt a cold wind rushing into the temple.
Because there was no door to block the view, it would be easy for people inside the temple to see a horse-drawn carriage parked at the entrance.
The local temple is not only a haven for young beggars, but also a place where some adult beggars choose to live.
There were still several middle-aged beggars lying in the temple. Hearing the commotion outside the temple gate, they all got up from the ground and ran quickly towards the gate!
Madam, please have mercy and give me something to eat.
Several disheveled beggars knelt before Lin He'er, stretching out their dirty hands and begging for food.
The group had arrived in a hurry and had not brought any food with them, so they stepped back somewhat awkwardly.
Brother Luan, isn't the Earth God Temple where you live?
No, at first it was just us, but then more and more people came!
Luan Ge looked at the several middle-aged beggars in front of him, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust!
I'm sorry, I came to take my child to see a doctor today and didn't bring any food with me.
Not wanting to be blocked by these beggars, Lin He'er took out a few copper coins from her pocket and placed them in front of the beggars.
When the beggars saw that the visitor had given them money, they all crawled on the ground and began to scramble for the coins.
Lin He'er quickly stepped back, and led Luan Ge and Meng Xing past the beggars into the temple.
In the northwest corner of the temple, in a pile of broken straw, lay a small figure.
There was an older child kneeling on the ground nearby, feeding water to the lying beggar boy from a bowl.
Little grape, have some water. Drinking some water will make you feel better.
The little beggar's tearful sobs and mutterings came from the haystack.
Shanzi, I'm back!
As soon as Luan Ge entered the temple, he ran towards the northwest corner.
The boy kneeling on the ground calling for Shanzi heard the voice and quickly stood up.
Brother Luan, you're finally back!
Waaah, Little Grape can't drink any water! I've been calling her for ages, but she's not responding!
Is she dying soon, just like the dog?
After the boy finished speaking, he squatted down on the ground and cried.
Upon hearing Shanzi's words, Luan Ge couldn't help but tremble slightly, and muttered something along the lines of;
No, no.
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the child on the haystack.
Shanzi, Little Grape isn't dead, her body is still warm!
It's just too hot!
Madam, Little Grape has a fever!
Luan Ge's voice changed tone at this moment!
Fever is the thing the little beggars fear most.
Because of the fever, it means they basically won't live more than a few days.
Brother Luan still remembers that among the little beggars he used to take care of, there was a child who eventually left everyone because of a fever!
Brother Luan, move aside, I want to see her!
When Lin He'er heard that the child had a fever, her heart skipped a beat.
In ancient times, fever was no small matter; many people lost their lives due to high fever.
Not to mention others, when I first transmigrated here, my little brother Lin Dong almost lost his life because of a fever!
Upon hearing his wife's words behind him, Luan Ge quickly moved aside.
Lin He'er squatted down and touched the child's body. The child was really hot. She didn't know how long the fever had lasted, but the child was already delirious with fever!
Mengxing, quick, carry the child on your back, let's hurry to the clinic.
As Lin He'er spoke, she had Meng Xing carry the little beggar on his back, and the group walked out of the dilapidated temple.
Madam, Madam, good deeds are rewarded, please give me some more money.
The beggars who had been scrambling for the coins earlier now surrounded the crowd again.
Didn't I already give it to you? I don't have that much money on me, please move aside!
Lin He'er never expected that these beggars would be so greedy. She had just given them copper coins, but instead of buying something to eat, they were waiting outside asking for more money.
Madam, please give us some more. We haven't eaten for several meals!
The beggars saw from outside the door that the lady should still have some money on her. If she is willing to help the little beggar, she should be able to give them some more.
So the group discussed it and decided to wait for the other person to come out before surrounding them and asking for more money.
I'm out of money, and this child behind me is in danger! Get out of my way!
Lin He'er didn't want to talk to these beggars anymore, and just told Meng Xing to walk to the side!
Madam, please have pity on us and save us.
Several beggars refused to leave and circled around Lin He'er and her companions.
Get out of my way. You've already got the money, so stop bothering me.
Madam, since you're already willing to save that little beggar, what's wrong with giving us some more money?
Among these people was a beggar with a scar on his face, who glared fiercely at Lin He'er, as if he would rob her if she didn't give him money!
Madam, please hold the baby while I talk to them!
With the baby on his body, Meng Xing felt his back burning hot, so hot that he trembled with fear!
If this child doesn't go to the clinic soon, he might not survive!
When Lin He'er heard Meng Xing speak, she took the child off him. Looking at the five or six-year-old child, she realized that she was not even as heavy as a goose from Xiaoyang Village when she was holding him!
Meng Xing straightened up, took a step forward, shielding his wife and children behind him, and shouted sternly;
Get out of the way right now, or I'll make you spit out the money you just paid!
When the beggars saw the man who had been silent just moments before now standing up straight and walking towards them with his tall figure, they immediately felt a suffocating sense of oppression!
One of the thinner beggars stepped back and whispered to the beggar with the scar on his face;
Brother Jiao, let's forget about it, this guy is not someone to mess with!
The man next to him, who was called Brother Horn, glanced at the person opposite him with a gloomy look and spat out a curse.
All of you, get him!
He was all alone. We killed him, tied up the woman, and took her away!
Once we leave the city and find land to sell, brothers, let's move somewhere else. With money, we won't have to be beggars anymore!
Do you want to spend your whole lives holed up in this dilapidated temple?
After hearing what Brother Jiao said, the short beggars exchanged glances, then suddenly attacked Meng Xing together...
