"She was kind-hearted and pitied Ji Sanlang's family, so she asked Ji Sanlang's wife to do the laundry for the family."
Although Lady Wan hates Gu Qingcheng a little, her evaluation is fair.
“But good intentions must be put to the right place!”
When Wan Niangzi said this, she was teaching her daughter, "Ji Sanlang and his wife are both foolish and filial people. Even if you help them, the benefits will not fall on them."
Just like this time, Mrs. Gu invited Mrs. Ji Sanni to come to her home to wash clothes and gave her five cents for each basin of clothes.
Above market price, this is something you want to take care of.
However, Mrs. Ji San has long been controlled by her mother-in-law. When she gets money, she will hand it over obediently without her mother-in-law asking.
Their third room is still the worst one in the Ji family.
The three children were all so hungry that they looked sallow and skinny.
You know, the Ji family is not short of money. The sons of the first, second and fourth bedrooms are all studying in the academy.
The youngest has five bedrooms, and his son is still young and not old enough to go to school.
Otherwise, the children in this family will also go to school.
Only Ji Silang, who lives in the third room, is ten years old and doesn't look stupid, but he is sent to a bookstore as an apprentice by old man Ji.
Dealing with pitch-black ink every day, even a good child will become black.
The hands that should be soft are rough, dry and cracked, and there are stains between the nails, which cannot be washed clean.
Wan Niangzi is also a mother herself, and she knows that parents will inevitably be partial.
For example, among her three children, she values her eldest son more and loves her daughter more.
The youngest son was naturally ignored by her.
However, Lady Wan was only slightly negligent, but she never really treated her differently.
The Ji family is no longer partial, they simply don't regard their third son's family as human beings.
The new and old residents in the back streets of the academy all felt sorry for Ji Sanlang's family, and they all helped them at first.
But those old guys from the Ji family are not good friends.
When they saw others helping their third son, they were not ashamed, but instead treated Ji Sanlang's family even more harshly.
They also understand what they mean: Don’t you think my Saburo is pitiful? I can make him even more pitiful, so you can simply be more generous!
Mr. Ji and his wife actually deliberately tried to harass Ji Sanlang and his family in order to "blackmail" the neighbors who couldn't stand it.
"With such a sinister old man, it's hard for us neighbors to help him."
Because in this way, you are not really helping others, but "helping the evil do evil".
With a look of anger and helplessness on her face, Lady Wan said slowly, "If we don't help, our lives will not be even more miserable."
Zheng Wanjun listened to his mother's words and nodded seriously.
She thought so too.
Just like those beggars in later generations who were missing arms and legs, everyone knew what was going on.
Giving them money actually encourages the arrogance of some bad people.
No buying and selling, no harm.
When an industry loses its profits, naturally there won't be so many innocent people being killed.
"Instead of hiring Ms. Ji Sanniang at a high price, why not secretly take care of her three children."
"Oh, even those children can't take too much care of them!"
"In the past, they could still have a few bites of food at Ji's house, but since old man Ji knew that the neighbors would give him food, he simply refused to let the three children have a bite."
When it came to the three children, Lady Wan even had a look of pity on her face.
The youngest is only three years old, and his arms and legs are as thin as a stick.
With a big head on his head, it’s scary to look at.
Ji Sanlang is foolish and filial, and Mrs. Ji San has no opinion. They are both adults and deserve to suffer hardships and hardships!
But what about the children? What's wrong with them?
They don't even have a chance to choose.
Zheng Wanjun couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing his mother's words.
In addition to hating mama's boys, she also hates foolish and filial boys.
Huh, if you are filial, you can go alone, and you can return your life to your parents.
Why drag your wife along with your children?
This kind of person is, to put it bluntly, extremely selfish and treats his wife and children as his own property!
After finishing all the wonderful stories about the Ji family, Wan Niangzi brought the topic back to Gu Qingcheng——
"Ms. Gu is soft-hearted. Not only does she pay a high price for Mrs. Ji San to do the work, but she also gives her some food."
"What a pity, she didn't know at all that the snacks and steamed buns she gave to Lady Ji Sanni could never get into the mouths of Lady Ji Sanni and her children."
"And those two children, as soon as it was time for dinner, Mrs. Ji rushed them outside Zhao's house."
The children were beaten until their bodies were bruised and bruised. They were hungry, in pain, and crying.
Gu Qingcheng not only wanted them to eat well, but also gave them some more to take back to the Ji family.
Otherwise, it will be another beating!
Thinking of the tragedies that happened every day, Lady Wan couldn't help but shake her head.
Zheng Wanjun looked astonished, "I tell you, I can always hear faint crying every day."
It turned out that Gu was the one who provoked it.
She can't help Ji Sanlang's family at all, but makes them suffer even more!
Mother and daughter Wan Niangzi and Zheng Wanjun, both sensible and sober, couldn't help but shake their heads together.
Zheng Wanjun even thought that if she were Ji Sanlang's three children, she would have very complicated feelings towards Gu: grateful and resentful!
…
Ji Xiaosi, Ji Sanlang's eldest son, did not resent Gu Qingcheng for helping him, as Zheng Wanjun suspected.
On the contrary, he was grateful!
Because it was never Mrs. Gu who abused them.
And Mrs. Gu's kindness really helped him and his brothers and sisters.
Every time he saw Mrs. Gu's beautiful and soft appearance, and felt her heartache and pity, Ji Xiaosi, who was used as an ox and a horse in the bookstore, was filled with emotion.
The steamed buns and snacks that Mrs. Gu secretly stuffed into him also made his heart feel full.
More importantly, Mrs. Gu woke him up——
"It's actually not bad to be an apprentice in a bookstore. You can learn a trade at least."
"As the old saying goes, a craftsman will never die of hunger in a famine. If you have craftsmanship, you will have the capital to eat."
"...My husband is also not loved by his parents, so he went out on his own at a young age."
"At that time, he was working as an apprentice in a drug store. The shopkeepers and doctors were all wary of him and would never teach him his real skills."
"But, my husband is smart. If others don't teach him, he will learn it secretly."
"In order to secretly learn his skills, he served tea and water to the doctor sitting in the hall, beat his waist and back, washed his feet, poured chamber pots..."
"He eats the least and works the most. In three years, my husband learned to identify and prepare medicinal materials, diagnose the pulse, and make a few simple prescriptions."
When Gu Qingcheng spoke to Ji Xiaosi, memories flashed in his beautiful almond eyes.
There is endless pride on her delicate face.
"My husband learned his true skills by stealing lessons."
“I returned to my hometown and became a barefoot doctor, treating patients and selling medicines, and built a huge family business on my own.”
When Gu Qingcheng recalled the past, he did not forget to glance at Ji Xiaosi with the corner of his eye.
I found that although this child's face was darkened by ink, his eyes were extremely bright.
Especially after hearing the story of Zhao Guodong's counterattack, the little boy's chest puffed up.
Gu Qingcheng sighed slightly in his heart, he is a good boy.
Even so, let’s mention him again——
"Oh, by the way, my husband also learned to read by reading the names of medicines on the medicine cabinet."
"If you can read, you can understand the book, and if you read the book, you can understand more truths!"
"My husband is one of the very few literate people in Zhaojiazhuang. He knows the benefits of studying, so he has provided Dalang with education since he was a child!"
In a bookstore, the most abundant thing is books!
Ji Xiaosi is a young apprentice working in the book printing workshop at the back. He has no access to books, but he keeps company with engraving blocks all day long.
As long as he wants to learn, he can always learn.
Gu Qingcheng felt that he had mentioned enough points.
Whether Ji Xiaosi continues to be a book printer or can embark on another path from this, he can only rely on himself!
Hearing Gu Qingcheng talk about Zhao Qingyun, Ji Xiaosi's eyes became brighter.
Although Zhao Qingyun has just moved here, he has already become "someone else's child" in the back streets of the academy.
Young, talented and smart!
He has an unforgettable memory and can recite it after hearing it. He is simply a child prodigy and literary star that only appears in story books.
And even for such an outstanding Zhao Qingyun, his father was once an apprentice.
Without his father's hard work, Zhao Qingyun probably wouldn't be where he is now.
Ji Xiaosi's chest suddenly felt heroic.
He clenched his small black fists hard. We are all apprentices. Zhao Qingyun's father could learn his skills secretly, why can't I?
I may not be as good as Zhao Qingyun in this life, but I can train my son.
Furthermore, I am only ten years old, so I may not be able to achieve a career.
"Thank you, Mrs. Gu!"
Ji Xiaosi is not an ignorant person. He knows that Mrs. Gu is telling him these things to remind him and teach him.
Madam Gu, you are indeed a beautiful person with a kind heart.
Others said that Madam Gu was weak, confused, unable to protect her sons from the wind and rain, and was a derelict mother.
Ji Xiaosi didn't think so. He felt that Mrs. Gu was much better than his own mother.
They are both weak women who cannot stand up, but Mrs. Gu is willing to listen to her son's words, while his mother cannot speak sense at all!
A flash of sadness flashed in his eyes, and Ji Xiaosi soon regained his energy.
After hiding a steamed bun given to him by Mrs. Gu, he straightened his body and strode towards the bookstore.
"Auntie, they all say that you can't really help Ji Sanlang's family by doing this!"
After watching Ji Xiaosi leave, Gu Qingcheng was about to turn around and go back when a small voice came from the west.
Gu Qingcheng knew who it was without turning around to look.
The "little granddaughter" of my neighbor on the west side has a surname of Han and a nickname of Jiaojiao.
If you just listen to the name, everyone will think that this child's parents should love her very much.
Otherwise, she would not have been given the nickname "Jiaojiao".
However, when you see Han Jiaojiao's appearance and get along with her, you will know: her parents don't seem to love her.
I can’t say both sides, at least one of them doesn’t love them.
The other party also seriously neglected its duties.
He is a good child, but he is timid, timid, has low self-esteem and is sensitive.
Obviously the "grandmother" is a very powerful person, but the "granddaughter" is so timid and has a petty attitude!
