The reborn worthy minister is difficult to do

Ah Si fought with Xu Zixian, the third miss of the Xu family, for a few days, and couldn't find time to go to the East Street to grab money these days.

On this day, the sun was setting and it was late in the evening when he walked home from Xu's residence dragging his wounds and cursing.

Damn, come home so late, grandma should be worried.

Ah Si lived at the edge of the corner of the East Street, where there were a few dilapidated thatched cottages in twos and threes, it was considered a slum area on the bustling East Street.

As soon as he entered the slum, Ah Si smelled a tempting aroma of rice.

The already hungry stomach suddenly let out a "cuckoo" scream, and touched the flat stomach.Ah Si's eyes lit up, the smell of chicken was delicious, and I don't know who opened the big meal.Immediately, his eyes dimmed again. Whose family has anything to do with him? His family's food and clothing are now a problem.

He is only 13 years old. He has no strength, no ability.

In order to help grandma see a doctor and get medicine, he can only rob money on the East Street with a few brothers to make a living.

Hehe, the wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Ah Si pursed his lips, and sneered in his heart: that damned Xu Ci, he took himself seriously, and even taught them a few brothers.

If it weren't for his lack of brain, he would not want to leave after a few words of flattery, and his status is so rich that he can be a backstage for their brothers, who would be willing to accompany him to make false claims.

He grew up in the market since he was a child, his mind can be said to be exquisite and clear, and he also knows a lot about the world, and he is the military advisor among the five sworn brothers.They ran rampant in the market, so they naturally looked down on Xu Ci who was so rampant because of his background.But they can use him to help them overcome disasters, and they can use him as a scapegoat for their brothers.

It was he who came up with the idea of ​​admitting Xu Ci as the boss.

At that time, A Niu still didn't agree, but since he used Xu Ci's name and came out to grab money and fight, he always got success, A Niu also tasted the goodness of this idea.

That idiot Xu Ci really thinks he is their boss, doesn't he know that they are just using him, and he is still counting the money for others after being sold.

Imagine that if you sincerely worship one person as your respect, how can you not know how to restrain yourself and only know to cause trouble for this person and pour dirty water on this person?

If his Si can really win someone to worship, he will definitely do his best to do things for him.

But I'm afraid no one can control him, a bad-behaved street gangster.

Cursing Xu Ci in his heart, he walked towards the house.The smell of meat did not dissipate but became stronger, as if it came from his own home.

Suddenly, Ah Si raised his footsteps and ran towards the house.

As soon as I entered the dilapidated hut, I saw a large bowl of stewed chicken with potatoes and two bowls of Laba porridge on the dark wooden table.

Yes, today is Laba.

It was already dark, and a dim kerosene lamp was lit on the small bed in the corner of the room, and the gray-haired grandmother was sewing with her head bowed.

Ah Si was slightly stunned, and then rushed over nervously, "Grandma! Why are you getting up if you don't lie down properly?" His face was full of tears, and he was about to cry immediately.

As the saying goes: Before dying, people have a flashback.

Is grandma going to die?

His parents left early, and now only his grandma is left to depend on him.Grandma treats him with love, if grandma goes too...

Thinking of this, Ah Si couldn't help but burst into tears.

Grandma Ah Si is getting old, and her ears are a little hard of hearing.He didn't hear the sound of Ah Si entering the door, but now he looked up and saw Ah Si crying like a tearful person, he couldn't help asking nervously: "What's the matter, Si'er, were you bullied outside? Tell grandma , Grandma will teach them a lesson for you!"

Ah Si wiped away his tears, and asked again: "Why is grandma getting up?" Seeing that grandma looked more energetic than before, Ah Si felt even more sad.

"Oh! That's right," Grandma Ah Si slapped her forehead, remembering something, "Si'er has grown up, he can find a good job at a young age, and he even gave the old lady a surprise for me without telling grandma, haha , really give grandma a face."

Ah Si frowned puzzled: "What are you talking about, grandma?"

"You still have to keep it from me," Grandma Ah Si said with her eyes wide open, "They came this morning and gave our family winter cotton-padded clothes and shoes, food and drink, and I gave grandma this bottle The pills are said to strengthen the body. I took a pill at noon, and in the afternoon I feel comfortable and can go to the ground.”

As Grandma Ah Si spoke, she took out a white porcelain bottle from under the dirty and black pillow.

Ah Si frowned and took it over, opened the bottle cap and smelled it, his heart was shocked.

He often went to get medicine for grandma, so he had smelled a lot of medicinal materials.He has an extremely clever mind, he has a photographic memory, and he can tell what medicinal materials are just by smelling them. Among them, he was lucky enough to smell such rare things as rare and precious century-old ginseng once in a medicine shop.

There is actually a century-old ginseng in this pill, and there is quite a lot of it!

The doctor who saw the doctor before said that grandma's stubborn illness was caused by exhaustion, and she needed to be nourished with ginseng to heal her stubborn illness.But if there is no ginseng nourishment, grandma may not survive this winter.

But ginseng is so precious, how can he buy it, and even thought of stealing the medicine, but the ginseng is locked under the counter, and he has no way of getting it.

Now the ginseng that has been made into pills is in his hands, and it is more than a hundred years old.

Who is it?

My heart was surging, and I seemed to have an answer, but I couldn't believe it. Finally, I couldn't hold back, Ah Si asked cautiously: "Grandma, did the person who sent this thing leave his name? And what did that person say?"

Seeing Ah Si's cautious look, grandma's heart also became uneasy, "Yes, look at my memory, yes, the man said that he was ordered by Xu Erye. He said that the Xu family is short of a few handymen recently. Seeing that you and A Niu are honest and capable, I took them together. The ones you sign are still the contract of living, the kind that you can leave as soon as you say it."

"He said that this is the first month's wages paid in advance to you. I asked if the wages can't be so much. The man replied to me that because it was the twelfth lunar month, the work had to be harder and tiring. Naturally, the wages were normal. Several times. I heard the same reason, and the man also said that you begged for this thing, so grandma accepted it."

"Could it be that you don't know? Could it be that you sent it to the wrong person?! Then we can't take it, Si'er, do you know where the Second Master Xu lives? Hurry up and send it back tomorrow morning! But my chicken is stewed." , what should I do?" Grandma Ah Si was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

Ah Si had an epiphany, and although he was puzzled, he still held grandma's hand comfortingly, with a big smile on his face: "Grandma, I've been busy all day and I forgot that these New Year's goods were indeed paid in advance by Second Master Xu." The salary. And this bottle of medicine was given to grandma by Xu Erye. Grandma must take it on time, and she can't live up to Xu Erye's concern."

"Hey, you child." Hearing Ah Si's confession, Ah Si's grandma put her heart into her stomach slightly, "You didn't lie to me?"

"That's it!" Ah Si raised his chest, "Grandma, wait for you to recover and go out to inquire about it. Who knows that Second Master Xu is the boss worshiped by Brother A Niu and me!"

"That's good. My old lady has lived a long time. Although the child who came to deliver things said that he paid too much, who can buy so many things with the wages of a servant. You don't know Sier, then But it was pulled by a cart, and the cart was so full that the old Wang next door’s eyes were red." She got off the bed tremblingly, and took Ah Si’s hand and walked towards the woodshed next to the backyard.

As soon as the door of the firewood room was opened, Ah Si's eyes were blurred. In front of him were piles of brand-new cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded shoes, and quilts, as well as bacon, frozen meat, vegetables, and dried fruits hanging under the eaves.

He has never seen so many New Year's goods in his life.

Ah Si's originally stopped tears welled up again, and an indescribable warmth of happiness filled her heart and could not go away for a long time.

returning a Favour many times more.

Although I don't know what Xu Ci was thinking, but his actions did save grandma's life, and also saved their family from fire and water.

Today you save my grandma, and in the future I, Si, will pay you back with my life.

"You kids have always been more naughty than ordinary kids, but grandma knows that you are not bad-hearted. Mr. Xu is a good man, and he is helping us. I have been drinking that bottle of pills for so long The herbal medicine didn't improve the body, but once the medicine is taken, it will be cured."

"Grandma reckoned that the medicine was extremely precious, something we would never be able to afford for the rest of our lives. Such a good thing would be given to us for nothing." Grandma held Ah Si's hand and sat down at the dining table, "Si Er, You must repay Xu Erye's kindness well, and don't be ungrateful. Although we are poor and have no money, we must not lose our hearts. "

Ah Si drank the mellow chicken soup stewed by grandma, and nodded emphatically.

Xu Mansion, Xu Ci Study Room.

Nianbai and Nianxiao returned to the study panting, they looked at each other, and Nianbai asked: "Second Master Xu, everything you ordered has been done, but there is one thing that Nianbai doesn't understand."

Xu Ci put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes and said casually: "What is unknown?"

"These five people used the Second Master everywhere before, and they did not hurt you. The Second Master should punish them severely, why is he treating them so well now?" The two of them originally thought that the Second Master brought several people back to accompany the Second Miss to compete. He wanted to teach them a lesson, but he didn't expect the second master to ask them to send different relief items to each household in the past few days.

That bottle of good century-old Shendan is worth a full 500 taels of gold, gold!It's not worth it for Xu Erye.

Xu Ci knew what they were confused about. He picked up the teacup by the desk, skimmed off the tea foam, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then slowly said: "Although they always use my banner to do blackmail, , but it never touched my bottom line, it was just a small fight that didn't cause serious injuries."

"You should also know that these people acted rampantly in the past two years. My image in East Street has plummeted, and I said publicly that day that I would recreate these people. After a period of time, people will find that the original bad guys have become good guys. , this contrast, will you be surprised?"

"If I abandon them and leave, people will only say that my Xu Ci is a wake-up call or that I cherish my feathers."

"But if I reform them, everyone will say that I, Xu Ci, is a virtuous and kind person who will never leave my brothers and can be entrusted to. I am a master that everyone can follow wholeheartedly. I can even accept them and repay evil with virtue. Why can't I accept other people? People will then change their views on me, thinking that the previous rumors about me are untrue and unbelievable."

"And you have also seen that each of them lives in a poor situation, and they can hardly meet their food and clothing. It is really helpless to go out to snatch small money. Those snatched money are not squandered, but taken home to take care of them." Family members, it can be seen that they are not evil people, and there is still a chance to repent."

"Since there is an opportunity, as their boss, why can't I give them a hand over the cliff? For me, this is within my power."

Adding icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow. Pulling them in a desperate situation is far better than pushing them from behind in good times.
