Chapter 25
Ping Niang was actually born well, but the dull and sad look on her face damaged her demeanor.When Gu Ruo asked herself, she didn't show any emotion, she just responded casually: "Well, I've been in poor health."
Gu Ruo looked at her cyanotic lips and saw that the knuckles at the end of her ten fingers were obviously widened and thickened, typical clubbed fingers, so she knew that her heart and lung function was not good.It might be an occupational disease, so Gu Ruo naturally couldn't ignore it, so he asked again: "Has Ping Niang ever taken any medicine?"
I haven't talked to anyone for a long time, Pingniang is very uncomfortable, her head is empty and she can't breathe, and her hands are shaking even more: "Sometimes I have to grab some medicine and take it when I forget to take it. Eat. Life and death are the same thing, I don’t care. If you have nothing to do, please go, I still have a lot of work to do, so I will go in first.” Looking at the back of this coughing woman, Gu Ruo couldn’t help but Frowning, shaking his head slightly, he walked slowly back to the hotel.
The next day, Xiao Wu happily followed Gu Ruo into the street wearing the new jacket that Gu Ruo bought for him.
"Mom, where are we going?"
"I have taken a fancy to a yard. If we pay the money today, we will have a home in the capital. Is Xiaowu happy?"
Xiao Wu nodded emphatically, and the corners of his eyes were full of joy: "Xiao Wu is happy!"
The two talked and laughed, and they walked to the tofu stand after a while.Wang Dazao had been waiting there a long time ago. He was worried that Gu Ruo would go back on his word. Seeing that she really came, the wrinkles on her face were all folded, and she greeted her with a smile, "Young lady is such a neat person, let's go through the formalities today." ?”
After signing the contract, paying the money, and collecting the title deed, the house will be officially under Gu Ruo's name.Wang Daxi left with the commission, leaving Xiao Wu and Gu Ruo standing in front of Ping Niang's stall without moving.
Seeing that the woman in front of her looked neither happy nor sad, Xiao Wu tugged on Gu Ruo's skirt and asked softly, "Mother, who is this?"
Gu Ruo pushed him forward with a smile, and said in a natural tone: "This is the owner who sold our house, Xiao Wu, please say hello to Aunt Ping."
Xiao Wu nodded obediently, raised her head and said to Ping Niang: "Hi Aunt Ping."
Seeing that the child behaved like a little adult, Ping Niang somehow thought of her own Bao'er who died young, her eyes became wet instantly, her nose became sore and she replied, "Hey."
Seeing the tears in her eyes, Xiao Wu couldn't help being a little flustered, turned to look at Gu Ruo, stepped forward boldly, pulled Ping Niang's sleeves and said, "Don't cry, Aunt Ping, Xiao Wu will give you candy," he said from his pocket. He took out the candy that he was reluctant to eat before and handed it to Pingniang, with reluctance clearly in his eyes but still generously said, "Candy is very sweet, and it won't hurt after eating it."
Ping Niang cried even more when she heard this, she cried for a long time, wiped her tears with her hands, took Xiao Wu's candy and said: "Then I will accept your candy, thank you child."
Xiao Wu shyly said: "You don't need to thank me, Mother said helping others to make herself happy, Xiao Wu felt very happy."
Only then did Ping Niang take a closer look at Gu Ruo, she was very beautiful and had a great temperament, unlike a girl from a small family.Just looking at her young age, how could she have such a big son?Perhaps there were some difficulties at home, Ping Niang put herself in the shoes of others and didn't inquire about Gu Ruo's family affairs.
Taking out the silver taels she just received, Ping Niang thought for a while, picked up 50 taels of bags and gave them to Gu Ruo, and said, "It's not easy for you to raise a child by yourself, I can't ask you so much money, you can take it back."
Gu Ruo was a little dazed, saying that it was sold for 300 taels, and the Yabao points went to 30 taels, but the one in Pingniang's hands was only 270 taels, and she returned so much at once, is this person kind or stupid!
Gu Ruo naturally wouldn't ask for her money, but Ping Niang was stubborn and refused to take it back.Gu Ruo smiled helplessly: "Ping Niang's house was originally sold at a low price, and I got a good deal, so how can I ask for your money again. I have no other skills, and it is not a problem to support Xiao Wu. "
Xiao Wu also stepped forward and said to Ping Niang: "Aunt Ping, my mother just doesn't want it, so don't embarrass her anymore."
Pingniang couldn't evade it, so she could only sigh and collect the money, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Ruo hurriedly said to Xiao Wu: "Don't you always clamor to eat tofu curd? Your Aunt Ping's cooking is very good, Xiao Wu doesn't want to try it?
"I want to eat." Xiao Wu had already smelled the scent, so Gu Ruo said that the glutton in his stomach was hooked up instantly, licked his lips and said, "Aunt Ping, can you make me a bowl of tofu curds? My mother Give money."
"What money do you want!" Pingniang regained her spirits in an instant, walked to the front of the stall and opened the cover, scooped a spoonful of bean curd from a small jar, and poured soup on it from another jar, took a spoon and washed it carefully. Passed it to Xiao Wu, and smiled kindly, "Good boy, you eat."
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up when he saw Chi, but he still pulled Gu Ruo and said, "Mom, let's eat together."
Ping Niang hurriedly brought out another bowl of bean curd, looked at Gu Ruo very cautiously and said, "Miss, you can eat too."
Gu Ruo was not too polite, and sat on the stall with Xiao Wu and started eating. On a winter morning, such a bowl of warm bean curd warmed their stomachs and hearts.
Xiao Wu's nose was sweating, and he held the bowl and smirked contentedly: "Aunt Ping, the food you make is even more delicious than my mother's."
Gu Ruo squinted at him, snorted and said, "Are you despising me, kid?" He spoke with a smile on his face, and it looked like it was a joke.
Ping Niang looked at the mother and child in front of her booth, and she couldn't help laughing, but she quickly stopped laughing, since Baoer's accident, she never smiled again.Gu Ruo noticed the change in her expression, but she didn't say anything. She got up and wanted to pay Ping Niang, but Ping Niang refused to accept it.
Gu Rui didn't insist this time, but seemed to be ready to take out a few porcelain bottles from his sleeve and hand them to Ping Niang: "This is my own Danshen Yangrong pill, nine pills a day divided into three times with warm water, three times a day. Pills. It is very effective in treating chest pain. If Ping Niang believes in me, she must take some."
Ping Niang didn't want to accept it at first, but Gu Ruo used Xiao Wu as an excuse: "After Ping Niang takes care of her body, Xiao Wu will have long-term bean curds, right?" Having said that, Gu Ruo would not let Xiao Wu eat bean curds all the time. One kind of thing, boys, estrogen or something, it's better not to take too much.
"Then I'll accept it, thank you Miss Gu."
Gu Ruo waved her hands and said with a smile: "Ping Niang, you don't have to be polite to me. If that's the case, Xiao Wu and I will leave first."
Until the two of them turned the corner, Ping Niang still stood straight at the entrance of the city, with a warm feeling in her heart.I don't know how long it took before Ping Niang turned around and went back to the house, but she didn't notice anyone sneaking around the street corner, staring greedily at her purse.
In the middle of the night, Ping Niang was awakened by a loud noise, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a figure in front of the hall, looking through the closet.Ping Niang hesitated for a moment, touched the stick beside her and stood up quietly. The moment she raised the stick, the man sensed something was wrong, turned over to avoid Ping Niang's weak blow, turned around and grabbed the stick, and pushed her down on the ground. On the kang.
"What do you want to do?"
"No reason, just come here to find some money to spend." The man's face was covered with a black cloth, but Ping Niang still felt that he was somewhat familiar.
"I have no money."
The man sneered, grabbed her hair and slapped her twice, and said viciously: "What are you pretending to be, I know you sold the house today and made a lot of money. If you are sensible, hand over the money quickly, otherwise If so," the man slipped his hand into Pingniang's lapel, and squeezed it vigorously, "I will deal with you first, and then I will change the money. By tomorrow morning, everyone in the capital will know that you are a bitch who is unwilling to be lonely and seduce a man." , let me see how you have the face to live!"
"Don't!" Feeling his touch, Ping Niang felt disgusted, pressed his hand and said, "Don't touch me, I'll give you money."
"Don't hurry up!"
Ping Niang took out the money from under the pillow, threw it on the ground forcefully, took advantage of the man's time to pick up the money, took the stick and held it in front of her chest, and said in a trembling voice, "Get the money and get out, or I will fight with you!"
The man didn't care about her threat, picked up the money in a leisurely manner and walked out whistling.Pingniang went down in a panic and moved the cabinet against the door, crawled into the corner and shivered with her legs shrunk.
Gu Ruo still found the wound on Ping Niang's face when she was buying bean curd, and regardless of Ping Niang's dodge, she insisted on breaking her face, feeling angry and anxious: "Who did it?"
Ping Niang faltered and hesitated for a long time before telling Gu Ruo about the burglar at night.Gu Ruo couldn't help cursing, and she was going to drag Ping Niang to report to the official right away.
Ping Niang refused to go no matter what, and finally said that she knew who the thief was.
That was Cui Liang's distant relative Cui Dengke. The two used to get together to gamble and drink too much. Pingniang hated him so much, how could he not recognize him?
Gu Ruo became even more angry, and said in a very puzzled way: "Then you should report to the officials, this person is not a thing!"
Pingniang shook her head in embarrassment, and sighed: "I heard from his wife, sister Zhen, that his mother has no money to see her when she is sick, and her son is also suffering from an emergency, so let me give them the money to see a doctor. Anyway, I am single , it doesn’t cost much.”
"I'm sure he won't use the money on the right way, Ping Niang, you are really confused."
"You have to give him a chance, maybe he can change it." Ping Niang murmured, rather than telling Gu Ruo, it would be better to tell herself.
Gu Ruo shook her head secretly, but she didn't want Ping Niang to suffer this grievance in vain, so she thought to find an opportunity to talk to Xiao Chengfeng, and believed that he would always have a way to deal with that thief.But for the next two days, Xiao Chengfeng didn't show his face again.
On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the west wind is accompanied by light snow.
Zhang Dazhuang at the street corner wrapped his clothes and went out to pour out the chamber pot. Just as he walked to the sewage ditch, Zhang Dazhuang suddenly stopped and stared at the things in the ditch with wide eyes.When he came back to his senses, he wailed and threw away the chamber pot in his hand, turned around and ran away, ignoring the pain after falling several times in a row.
A person was lying on his back in the sewage ditch, his whole body was stained with blood, and his white brains were splashed on the smelly mud.He opened his mouth in astonishment and stared blankly at the sky.His hands were twisted into a weird angle, clasped together in front of his chest, as if he was praying, and also seemed to be atonement again.
