Sweetest Medicines

The Chen Family

Li Weiyue was not an unreasonable person after she handed over the money, she directly asked her sister's new bookkeeper, "Let's go to Lucheng tomorrow, you should go back and greet your family first."

"Young master, can I advance my first month's salary money?"

Tong Sixi lowered her head very low, and her voice was also very slow. His uncle and aunt were very kind to him, once his parents died, he was very helpless, his uncle and aunt did not hate him at all for eating a lot.

During the winter, her aunt challenges the wind and snow to take the wages of washing clothes in the city.

In the twelfth month of winter, the water was very cold, and his aunt's hands were full of cuts and cracks, but he only gritted his teeth and continued to endure.

She wasn't stupid, she knew her aunt was doing everything for her own good, their family was too difficult, her aunt's health was broken, and she always coughed at night.

"What's the reason?"

Li Weiyue gestured for Tong Sixi to say it she did not need to hide it.

"I'm going to Lucheng. And I don't know when I'll be back. Seeing the weather getting colder, I want to ask for my first monthly salary early."

In early October, there will be snow in the north, for now the price of charcoal is still a little cheaper. But if the weather gets colder, the price of charcoal will get higher, firewood alone will not be enough for families.

"No problem."

Li Weiyue fully agreed, she also thought of going to Tong Sixi's uncle and aunt's house to take a look first, and if the situation was difficult, she would help them as quickly as possible, she would help them, so Tong Sixi did not have to worry anymore in the future, and did not think too much about her family affairs all the time.

Li Jinhu was still not used to being called young master, his face flushed red, and he purposely walked with his hands behind his back. The group asked Tong Sixi to lead the way and cross the road by road.

Most of the people living in the north of the city were poor, the houses were shabby, and the alleys were dark without sunlight.

Aunt Tong Sixi lives in the third house from the entrance of the alley. There were only two small rooms with kitchens beside them.

The grounds are small, there are two hens still laying eggs and some firewood, which looks messy.

"Sister, you're back!"

The door was resistant to the wooden board. Tong Sixi grabbed and deftly opened it from inside.

There was a sound at the door, and two small children ran out of the room, the older one was an eight or nine year old girl, and the younger one was five or six years old, he said, carried by his sister.

When Tong Sixi saw her brothers and sisters, she smiled sincerely and introduced Li Weiyue. This was Chen Daya's first time meeting a stranger, she was very careful, but she was a little girl, she immediately clasped Tong Sixi's hand, "Sister, sister, my mom's gonna get her moon silver today. He said that he could buy some kati coarse noodles and would buy chicory to make dumplings, and woolen cloth."

"Yes, let's all eat less and keep it for you when the time comes."

As he spoke, Chen Daya showed a smiling face, then hesitated, "So, you've already found your master's house, can't you stay for dinner?"

"Yes, let him stay and eat."

The Chen family home was very dilapidated, and the house was completely empty. What the attendant said at the Huangji store was true. Li Weiyue was very touched. The family is united and takes care of each other.

"There's still some cake on the train, why don't you give it to them."

When Xiao Lingchuan saw his wife disappear, he knew that his wife was thinking about the Li family. In fact, everyone wished to have relatives who supported each other by their side, yet that could not be forced. He will take good care of her in the future.

"My husband, don't come in."

Hearing Tong Sixi's uncle lying on the bed, it was impolite for them to rush to the door. It was better to sit for a while in the courtyard and wait for Tong Sixi's aunt to come home.

Trough cakes are a good thing for the poor. Chen Daya and her sister Goudan were too afraid to accept it.

"Take it and eat it, let's just say it was given by your brother."

Li Weiyue's impression of this family increased slightly. The two children looked very excited, but they were not greedy, which suggests that they were well-bred.

Chen Daya glanced at Tong Sixi, picked it up trembling, greeted, and walked into the room.

A moment later, Tong Sixi's second uncle leaned on the stick and came out with great difficulty while propping up the wall.

"My lord, you don't have to do that, we don't deserve it, but you didn't pick it wrong, he's a good boy."

Uncle Chen, with a gloomy face, pleaded, "As long as you feed him enough, he can do any dirty work. My feet hurt and could not do any work, so her own aunt supported our family. I'm ashamed of my brother and my dead brother-in-law!"

As he said, the eyes of the seven-foot-tall man were red. If he does not build a house and falls, he does not have to rely on women to support his family.

"Second Uncle, what are you talking about? I dragged you down."

Tong Sixi wiped away the tears and told the whole story. It turns out that the family is going well. His parents just left. He's young and stupid. He knew he had to eat enough. After a few days, his uncle left home to earn a monthly wage.

In the twelfth month of winter, no one goes out to work, but they cannot make money, cannot afford to buy food supplies, and the family cannot survive last year.

His second uncle was forced out to find work, he would do any work, as long as the other party gave him enough money, until finally his leg was broken.

For over half a year, Tong Sixi had been waiting to be bought. Every time someone came to the door and heard that he ate a lot, they shook his head like a toy.

Tong Sixi also tried to eat less. After drinking cold water for a day, he fainted the next day.

"Fractured legs for half a year ..."

Li Weiyue had little research on bone regulation, but she was unable to bring it up. As long as there was money for treatment, Chen Ershu should be able to recover, but the delay was already too long. If the treatment was good, he was worried that he would not be able to do any heavy work in the future, and he might be a little paralyzed.

"Second Uncle, my master has promised me an early first month payment, let's go and check your feet!"

He had 200 Wen a month, which was the equivalent of a man working in the city. His master said that if he worked hard, he would earn rewards in the future.

"Er Gouzi, you're lucky to meet a good master, but you can't always ask for help."

Uncle Chen taught them not to take for granted help from others, otherwise, over time, they would easily become white-eyed wolves.

It is human kindness for others to help them when they are in trouble. It makes sense not to help. Even the relatives were not always able to sue each other.

"Second uncle, I know, I'll work hard."

Tong Sixi nodded, she would definitely take good care of her young master, work hard, be a waitress not too bad, there was food and drink, and her Master's family was easy to get along with, they were all good people.

"Uncle Chen, you don't need to take heart, our goal of helping is to make Sixi no longer worry."

Li Weiyue did not want her family to be too burdened. The ill-gotten gains he had obtained from Lord Qin Yuanwai had not been spent, so he did not mind using them for charity.

"All of you are good people, and good people are rewarded." Uncle Chen knew it well, he knew that if he received a bit of water from someone, he would have to pay it back with a spring. With the condition of his family now, what could he do? Even if it was just a piece of cake or a copper coin, he would keep it in his heart, and when he had the ability, he would definitely pay it double.
