Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert. Chapter 13

Chapter 13 The plaster sticks on

Mrs. Sun hugged her daughter, whose complexion had returned to rosy. She sincerely thanked Mrs. Li and Jiayin, but she also planned carefully for them.

 Even before Mrs. Li could refuse, she stuffed the banknotes into her arms, leaving only ten taels of silver outside.

At this moment, the maidservant also came in with a basin, ready to wash Miss Sun.

Old Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment, and could only hold Jiayin in her arms, bow deeply, and then retreated.

The nurse and the maid moved very quickly. Not long after Mrs. Li returned to the room with the good news in her arms, they sent three large bags of clothes.

 Half of them are Miss Sun's old clothes. They are said to be old clothes, but in fact they have only been worn once or twice, and they are no different from new ones.

The needlework is good and the material is soft. Mrs. Li looked at it over and over again with joy.

The remaining half is very messy, including women's clothes, men's clothes, and even half-grown children's clothes, all of which were begged by the wet nurse and the maids, wives and servants of the Sun family.

Everyone heard that the Li family had just rescued their master, and even to show their loyalty, they enthusiastically donated them and collected a large bag full of them.

 “Oh, mother! I actually have so many clothes and ten taels of silver!”

Wu Cuihua was holding a blue top with white flowers and comparing it happily on her body. As she spoke, her eyes furtively glanced at the ten taels of silver in Mrs. Li's hand.

Tao Hongying and the others were not as unruly as Wu Cuihua. They looked at the clothes and money without touching them and waited for Mrs. Li to speak.

Old Mrs. Li took two puffs from her pipe and then told everyone about Jiayin's rescue of Miss Sun.

 “Oh! Then our Fu Niu'er has become the savior of Miss Sun's family!”

Wu Cuihua's face was filled with joy when she heard the good news, and her eyes looked at the good news as if she were looking at a treasure.

Jiayin didn't like Wu Cuihua's sudden turn of events, so she rolled her eyes and buried her head in Tao Hongying's arms.

"Okay, Mrs. Sun is still the savior of our family! Just forget about it and don't go outside."

Old Mrs. Li saw that Wu Cuihua was a little too excited, so she quickly put away the money and gave her a few harsh words.

Wu Cuihua was a little unconvinced, but she was not ambiguous at all when choosing clothes. She pulled several pieces into her arms...

The big boat went south along the river and soon arrived at Minnanling Pier.

Minnan Ridge is on the dividing line between north and south. Once here, the journey is already halfway over.

The victims walked slowly and were blocked by state capitals along the way. Before they could escape here, the pier was not that messy.

Seeing that it was getting closer to Kyoto, the people on the boat became more relaxed and happy.

“Yusheng, would you like to go to the shore with me? Look for fresh vegetables and dry goods. Let's fill up the storehouse.”

Steward Wang called Li Laoer and planned to get off the boat to buy.

Li Laoer raised his voice and responded, but before getting off the boat, he was pulled back by Wu Cuihua.

“I want to go too. I'm going to die of suffocation after staying on this boat for so long!”

Wu Cuihua kept complaining, and Li Laoer was tired of hearing it.

But Manager Wang was still waiting, and it was not good to be delayed for too long, so he said nothing more and silently allowed Wu Cuihua to follow.

Steward Wang also brought two boys with him, but he said nothing when he saw this.

A few people got ashore, and Manager Wang ran directly to the vegetable stall on the roadside.

Wu Cuihua's eyes couldn't help but glance around. When she saw something she was interested in, she had to stop and touch it. She landed at the back of the crowd.

There were a few beggars on the roadside with unkempt hair and dirty faces, whining and begging. Their tattered clothes exuded a smell that made people unable to avoid them.

 A man in rich clothes and with a big belly swaggered by on the road.

When the beggars saw it, they hurriedly came forward holding dirty and broken bowls.

“Sir! Please do me a favor and give me something to eat!”

"Get out of here!" The man had a sinister face, and he had a bad temper. In addition, the smell of the beggar was off-putting, so he raised his leg and kicked him.

The beggar was already very hungry. He couldn't resist it. He howled and rolled several times on the ground. He happened to roll to Wu Cuihua's feet.

She was so disgusted that she was about to curse a few words, but the beggar blocked her way.

“Sister? Big sister! Woohoo, big sister, it's me, I'm Ergouzi!”

The beggar hugged Wu Cuihua's calf and cried harder and harder.

Wu Cuihua subconsciously lowered her head and looked carefully, gasping in surprise.

“Er Gouzi? Why are you here? Didn't you and dad leave long ago?”

She didn't mind the smell anymore, so she squatted down and picked up the beggar.

Li Laoer heard the noise and hurried back. When he saw who the beggar was, he frowned.

Wu Cuihua is the eldest in the family, and she has a younger brother named Wu Ergou.

When he grew up, he didn't want people to call him a big name, so he always called himself Wu Er when he met people.

There was just such a boy in the Wu family. The whole family pampered him and developed his lazy and selfish character.

Even though the Wu family's wife died a few years ago, Wu Ergou didn't change his temper.

　　When the famine broke out earlier, everyone dragged their families and families to flee south.

Wu Cuihua's father took Wu Er and the family's money and food and ran away without even thinking that there was a daughter like Wu Cuihua.

But Wu Cuihua was thinking about it all day long. When she first escaped, she saw Tian'er whispering in Li Laoer's ears that she wanted to find her father and younger brother.

Li Laoer knew what Wu Er and his father were like, so he ignored Wu Cuihua at all, not wanting to meet them here.

Wu Cuihua was hugging her brother and crying, holding his arm and asking questions repeatedly.

 “Where's dad? Isn't dad with you?”

Wu Er brushed aside the messy hair that obscured his eyes and quickly looked at Wu Cuihua.

I saw that she was wearing a neat dress, with no patches on her body, and her face was fair and white. It seemed that she was living a good life.

 He held his stomach with a look of grief on his face.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Three days!”

The biological father who gave birth to and raised him was beaten to death, but he mentioned it as if he was talking about an unrelated person, which was really cold-hearted.

Wu Cuihua cried hard when she heard that her father was dead.

“Then have you buried dad? Have you erected a monument? I want to find him back later and take dad to his ancestral grave!”

Wu Er was a little impatient, "The person is dead, why bury him? I can't even eat, how can I find the energy to erect a monument for him?"

"You are really... let's go, I will take you to the boat." Wu Cuihua heard her brother say this, although she was sad, but there was nothing she could do, so she pulled him and walked to the boat.

Li Laoer wanted to stop him, but he couldn't stop him, so he could only talk to Manager Wang and chase him.

On the deck of the big ship, Mrs. Li was holding Good News and standing by the guardrail watching the people coming and going on the pier.

Jiayin's little mouth was slightly open, her big eyes were unblinking, and she looked seriously.

 This world is so unfamiliar to her.

The Tianwu Dynasty did not exist in any period of history, but the productivity was still low and the people were poor.

 Most of the people coming and going on the pier were wearing patched clothes and had sallow complexions and thin skin. It was obvious that they were not having a good life.

Mrs. Li looked at her granddaughter's face with a hint of seriousness and compassion, and thought she had made a mistake.

After all, how could a child who is not yet one month old look like this!
