Chapter 4408 Heart-wrenching
"Qing'er, the little girl named Erya, did you personally deliver it to her parents later?" asked Sun suddenly.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Yes, the child was playful and ran around, which frightened her mother. When we arrived, her mother was asking people one by one on the street, and was beaten by some People treat her like a crazy woman to drive her away!”
Sun Shi Chang sighed, "Hey, if I didn't meet you today, this child would really be lost. Her mother-in-law is really crazy. What a pity for the parents in the world."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, isn't that right? , when Chen'er disappeared, she was also close to going crazy.
It was thinking of Baby Luo that made her hold on, but life was really worse than death.
"Qing'er, did Erya and his family all escape from the East China Sea?" Sun asked again, pulling Yang Ruoqing back from her thoughts.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Yes, the whole family came here. When I met them earlier, they lived under the bridge. They were so pitiful. Later I gave them some scraps of silver to help them. I can rent two rooms to stay."
Sun nodded appreciatively: "Qing'er, you did a good job. Things may not necessarily lead to blessings, but doing bad things will definitely lead to bad consequences.”
“Our family’s life now is countless times better than before. If you can help, try to help. , what I can’t bear to see the most is parents fleeing famine, wandering around with their children, starving, and being bullied..."
Just like those years when the old Yang family was not separated, although he and Qing'er's father did not need to go out to beg, they had a place to live and food to eat.
However, seeing the old Yang family classify food into three, six or nine grades, Qing'er and her three siblings, especially Qing'er, ate the lowest grade, made Mrs. Sun feel like a knife!
Secretly leaving his own rations for Qing'er to eat. When her mother-in-law found out, she had to scold her because, in her words, she was a laborer for the Yang family and Qing'er was a free worker, so she was a free worker. As long as you don't starve to death, you have to work hard to eat the food first...
But in the mother's heart, she would rather eat dirt than leave the food to her children!
"Mom, don't worry. Not only did I deliver Erya safely to her parents, I also bought some buns and steamed buns for her to take with her on the way. She won't be hungry. .”
Mrs. Sun nodded, "You did the right thing, but it's a pity that our ability is limited. Today I saw so many beggars queuing up to wait for the steamed buns, 60% of them were old people and children. I felt really bad."
"I have been hiding in the village before. In the village, I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Even those families with poor conditions can move around and borrow some rice no matter what. Come and live by guarding the few acres of land at home, and at least you won’t starve to death.”
“When I went out and saw those beggars without houses and fields, I really couldn’t believe that there were such hard-working people in this world. To be able to suffer that much, hey..."
"Mom, no matter what these beggars are, at least they have their own things," Yang Ruoqing said.
“If I went to the back houses of those really wealthy families and saw how the masters punished their servants, I would be really shocked. It’s not a baby, it’s a companion to the master’s baby, a beast of burden.”
"The master can do whatever he wants with the servant's babies. Selling them is just a matter of words. It's like our farmer's old dog has given birth to a litter of puppies. The master takes a few of them and gives them away. That kind of thing."
After hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Sun clicked her tongue, her eyes filled with shock.
"It's better for us, the villagers, to hide in the village. Everyone is from the village. We can take care of us wherever we go, so it won't be too much." Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and disagreed with Sun's remarks.
Remembering that Yang Huazhong’s leg was broken and Sanfang lost an important labor force, both Tan and Lao Yang had the idea of dragging Fat Ya out and selling her! In this world, no matter where you are, if you have money, power and ability, you can live well.
Without money, power or ability, it will be hell wherever you go, so if you want to avoid being stepped on in the mud and being eaten by mermaids, you have to work hard to climb up, even if you climb a higher level, Your situation is different.
"Qing'er, can we do more for those beggars? I feel really distressed when I look at it!" Ms. Sun discussed this with Yang Ruoqing again.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at her mother and couldn't help but smile.
"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?" Ms. Sun was surprised and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "Mom, your face is very clean and there is no dirt. I laugh because I think my mother is sometimes kind-hearted, a little naive and a little unrealistic!"
Sun was stunned. He paused and then smiled awkwardly.
"I'm just talking casually. In fact, I also know that our abilities are limited..." Sun murmured.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Mom, there is a saying that the whole world belongs to the emperor. In other words, the whole world belongs to the emperor's family."
"There are so many beggars outside Wanghai County. , Huguang County, other nearby counties, Qing'an County, Changhuaizhou, and other places, there are a bunch of beggars in every place."
"Even if our family is as rich as the country, we can't support so many beggars."
"Maybe you will say, if we don't support so many beggars, we will just support these beggars in Wanghai County. Then mother, you have Have you never thought that many lazy people would take advantage of this loophole? "
"And among those beggars, there are also those who are ambitious but are in trouble and have to come out to beg. Therefore, we can only beg every time. It is impossible to give alms and support them on special days such as the New Year and the holidays. "
"It is the emperor's business to really solve these problems. Because the world belongs to the emperor.”
“The emperor promulgates policies to treat the people, the emperor distributes food for disaster relief, and the emperor punishes corrupt officials...”
"Only when the world is peaceful and the world is healthy, the people can live and work in peace and contentment. As long as the whole family can live and work in peace and contentment, and the family can farm together and have food to eat, who would be willing to go out and beg, eat other people's leftovers, and be looked down upon by others?" Yang Ruoqing patiently said I'm analyzing it with Mr. Sun here, I believe Mr. Sun can understand.
This is like a great patriotic writer in later generations. At first, he chose to study medicine in order to save the body of his countrymen and make them healthy, so that they would not be as helpless as a sick man. Not to mention resisting the invasion of foreign enemies.
But later he discovered that the Chinese people were not sick of the body, but the spirit.
Okay, I’m going too far. At this moment, after listening to Yang Ruoqing’s long speech, Mrs. Sun sat there in a daze, as if she was trying to digest and absorb the meaning of these words.
