Chapter 507 Different Choices, Different Rewards
"Don't worry, these people will get their comeuppance sooner or later."
Seeing that the little girl Qingyun was about to rush over and attack, Yuxiu quickly grabbed her.
"Save the people first. The situation is unclear right now, so we should not make any big noise to avoid attracting other people's attention."
The child's condition was very bad. His arms hung limply behind the woman's back, looking very pitiful.
"I've figured out a solution. Come with me."
Seeing that the woman had already climbed up with the child in her arms and was staggering towards this alley, Yuxiu hurriedly pulled Qingyun's sleeve and brought her into the alley.
She quickly found a purse from the space, which contained a handful of silver and copper coins, estimated to be about ten taels.
These were made by the embroiderer in the mansion. Cui packed several large bags for her in the space, saying that it would be more convenient to use them to reward the servants.
The two of them walked slowly into the alley, until they heard heavy footsteps behind them, and Yuxiu loosened her grip on the purse.
The heavy purse fell on the bluestone floor with a crisp sound.
It was just that Yuxiu happened to be talking to Qingyun, and they both started laughing, as if they didn't hear anything at all, and walked quickly forward.
Wasn't it said that the broker was in charge of buying and selling land? Yuxiu planned to go over and take a look. If it was suitable, she could buy some land first.
She had asked Su Wan to look for the women who had been sold. If she wanted to redeem them, she would have to find a suitable place for them to live first.
The woman holding the child was called Liang by everyone at home. At this moment, she was preoccupied with finding a broker to sell the land. She didn't care at all that the two people in front of her had dropped something, and she just walked forward in a panic with difficulty.
She hadn't had a full meal for a long time, and she was also worried about her son's condition, so she was not very clear-headed.
If it weren't for her motherly love for her child supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground by now.
My legs were so tired from running around for days that they felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. I could only drag myself forward on the ground.
Sell the land and use the money to buy medicine for my son...
She muttered to herself as she walked forward with all her might.
It wasn't until something hit her foot that she looked down, and her heart began to beat wildly.
I saw a light pink purse lying at my feet. It looked bulging, so it must be filled with a lot of silver and money.
Liang bent down with difficulty, picked up the purse and took a look at it.
There were two lifelike peach blossoms embroidered on the purse, and a word she didn't recognize was embroidered on the corner.
Clutching the purse in her hand, Liang couldn't move another step.
Don't steal or rob, whatever you pick up is yours. No matter where you put this statement, you are right.
not to mention……
Liang looked at her son in her arms. His little face was dry and sallow, and his chest was rising and falling rapidly due to the high fever, which made her feel very distressed.
As long as she takes the purse to get medicine, her son can be saved!
But, this was clearly something that someone had just dropped accidentally, and I picked it up from behind and just kept it for myself. How wicked...
Liang stared ahead. The two girls seemed to have noticed nothing and had walked a long way away, talking and laughing.
For a moment, it seemed as if two little people appeared in front of her, one of whom was shouting at her to quickly take the purse and save his son's life.
The other one strongly opposed it and asked her to return the purse to the owner as soon as possible. The owner would be very anxious if so much money was lost.
What the two little guys said made a lot of sense. She didn't know what to do and soon she was sweating profusely.
"Mother...water...water..."
Just as she was struggling with her conscience, the son in her arms suddenly pursed his dry lips and murmured something with half-opened eyes.
"Okay, son, wait. I'll get you some medicine soon, and then ask the doctor for a bowl of water..."
The child in her arms closed his eyes and fell asleep again. Liang no longer dared to have any wild thoughts and quickly calmed herself down.
"Girls, please wait a moment..."
At this moment, she didn't know where the strength came from, and she shouted while quickly chasing after the two people in front of her.
"Your things are lost, take them quickly..."
Although the alley is very long, it doesn’t seem very wide, and the purse is right in the middle of the alley.
The two people were walking in front, and if it was left behind by someone else, there was no way the two girls would not have noticed it.
"Host, this woman is so stupid. She didn't even know to ask for money when I gave her money for free..."
Qingyun sighed. She knew Yuxiu really wanted to help others, but at this moment, the woman foolishly sent her back.
"Everyone's choices are different, so the final results will also be different."
Yuxiu turned around and looked at the woman who was panting but still running towards her with great effort. Only then did a sincere smile appear on her face.
This County Magistrate Chen really did not satisfy her at all.
Fortunately, this woman who had reached a desperate situation with her child in her arms did not let her down again.
"Hoo...Hoo...you, yours..."
At this moment, Liang, holding the child, finally ran up to them.
"Put it back together quickly, but don't lose it again..."
After Liang took a deep breath, she stuffed the purse in her hand into Yuxiu's hand and rushed forward with the child in her arms.
She couldn't delay any longer and had to find a moneylender to sell the two acres of land at home as soon as possible so that she could get medicine for her son earlier.
"Hey... this sister-in-law..."
Seeing the woman throwing the purse to her and leaving, Yuxiu quickly grabbed her clothes.
"Thank you for helping me retrieve the purse. To show my gratitude, your son is not in good condition. I have some fever-reducing pills here. I'll give you one."
As she spoke, she took out a small bottle from her purse and poured a pill into the palm of her hand.
The child's face looked very bad at the moment. If we delay any further, even a god would not be able to save him.
Liang also discovered this and felt even more anxious and helpless.
She couldn't believe that there would be such a coincidence.
And she and her son may really meet someone noble to help them.
"Take it. There's still some clean water in my water bag. It's just right for you and him to drink some. It can help relieve the discomfort a little."
Yuxiu took a small water bag from Qingyun, which she had already filled with diluted spiritual spring water.
Before, her eyes were only on the child in the woman's arms. Now that they were standing closer, Yu Xiu discovered that the woman's condition was also very bad.
