Chapter 720 Text
Shameful
No wonder everyone said she was a living Buddha. Just based on her appearance, no wonder everyone believed her.
When they saw that the girl in red clothes had changed her attitude and lowered her eyebrows, everyone lost their anger. After all, she was so anxious just now when she saw that her eldest brother had delayed taking medicine.
Fu Shen gave a salute, and the old woman put one hand on her grandson's shoulder and the other on a crutch, and said to Li Jinshu: "Girl, when we go back to Deserted City, we escaped all the way from Jinzhou. Jinzhou was attacked three months ago.
There was a flood, and our homes were all washed away. We had no choice but to live in Luoyan, thinking that we might be able to survive at the foot of the imperial city."
Looking at their desolate appearance, the people around them shook their heads and sighed. Jinzhou has major floods every year during the rainy season, and refugees come to Beijing every year. However, this year's situation seems to be even worse, with more refugees coming.
many.
These people are also pitiful. Their houses were destroyed by floods, but will they have a way to survive after entering Beijing?
"However, the imperial court issued an order a few days ago not to allow refugees to enter the city, but sent us to live in Fo'an Temple outside the city. However, Fo'an Temple has long been dilapidated, and there is not even a roof tile to protect us from the rain. How can we live here?"
The old woman said with sorrowful eyes, and wiped the corners of her eyes with her tattered sleeves, which was really pitiful.
The little grandson beside him couldn't stop singing, and he crossed his hands with Li Jinshu and said, "I used to be able to make a living by begging in the city, but now I have been driven to Fo'an Temple and can't get any rations. Please, please
Please be a good girl and give me someone who stutters!"
"Yes, this little lady, we are all poor people. It's not like the little lady was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, so just share a piece of the pie with us! If you can help those people, you must be willing to help us, right? But
Just give us some food and drink, give us some gold and silver, and find a place for us to stay, so we don’t need anyone to wait on us. It’s always possible to find a long-term mate!”
Look at how small this little girl is. Apart from her not-so-good attitude at the beginning, she doesn't have any power now. She is clearly a kind-hearted daughter with nowhere to put it. Seeing how pitiful they are, she must help a bunch of people.
, the refugees thought.
Each of them thought this way, and said this at the same time, without any sense of shame.
But those onlookers actually thought the same way. Anyway, the Barren City family had a huge business, so why would they just give some away if they were so rich?
Just when everyone thought Li Jinshu would help them, they saw the girl in red sneer!
The farmer who had previously spoken for the refugees couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at Li Jinshu and angrily shouted: "You little lady, do you have any sympathy at all? It's okay if you don't help them, why do you still laugh in public? You are so ignorant, it's too much.
!”
"That's right, if you don't want to help, then you don't want to help. What's the point of laughing at them!"
We should help the poor rather than the rich. There are more than one or two people who come out to speak out for these refugees, and they may cause public outrage.
However, Li Jinshu not only sneered, but also laughed. He looked down upon these good-hearted people present who only wanted to be generous to others, and asked: "I am ignorant? It is the most ridiculous thing in the world! Why do you pity this person so much?"
, why don’t you donate your own money to give alms?”
This group of people included not only beggars, prodigal sons, and farmers, but also fishermen, pawns, traders, and even literati or wealthy children who came out of the city to enjoy the autumn appreciation.
But not only do they not want to provide financial assistance themselves, but they force others to provide financial assistance. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
