Upon hearing her cry, Lin Suisui didn’t feel good either. She sat beside Yuan Niang and counseled her for a long time. When she seemed to have calmed down, Lin Suisui said in a low voice, “Since that child’s condition is so serious, she definitely has to be treated as soon as possible.”
“How about this? You might as well make another trip later and bring the child over so that I can take a look at her again. If we treat her early on, there should be a chance of recovery.”
Although that couple was detestable, the most important thing now wasn’t to pursue the past, but to let them live a better life in the future.
Therefore, be it her injuries or illness, they had to treat her as soon as possible!
“This girl is very determined. For her brother’s sake, she’s willing to endure these grievances that others can’t. If we give her hope in the future, she will be able to persevere!
Crying can’t solve the problem. Let’s help them think about how to resolve the current situation!”
Lin Suisui reached out and handed the handkerchief to Yuan Niang as she continued to counsel her softly.
Yuan Niang clearly took Lin Suisui’s advice to heart. She sniffled and nodded heavily. Then, she raised her hand to wipe her tears and quickly walked out again.
After Yuan Niang left, Lin Suisui looked away from her and turned around to meet Bai Guo’s shocked gaze. For a moment, she was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. I just didn’t expect you to ask Yuan Niang to bring that little girl back to the residence to take care of her. You even want to treat her personally.”
Upon hearing Lin Suisui’s question, after some consideration, Bai Guo explained to Lin Suisui calmly, “When I was sold, I was about the same age as that little girl.”
I remember very clearly that at that time, there was a little girl about the same age as me who was bought by someone else and she was also mistreated. That person felt that she was a slut! He didn’t even let her in the house and sold her to the brothel for 50 copper coins.”
“But this isn’t the fault of these two little girls.”
Lin Suisui was silent for a long time before slowly explaining to Bai Guo very seriously, “The dirtiest one is the culprit who pushed them into the quagmire!
Why doesn’t the world criticize those who committed crimes?! To put it bluntly, it’s because most people bully the weak and fear the strong!”
“But you’re the first benefactor I’ve seen who’s willing to help them!” Bai Guo’s eyes flickered. “Although the other women sympathize and pity them, they just lament about it and without doing anything!
However, you’re willing to accept her and help her not only because of your pity, but also because you want her to have a better future.
“Madam, you’re really a good person. It’s my blessing to work for you!”
“Because I was drenched in the rain before, I want to hold an umbrella for others.” Lin Suisui smiled at Bai Guo.
Yuan Niang was very fast. When it was almost dinner time, she brought the girl called Du Yue’e back from the pharmacy. Perhaps she was afraid that others wouldn’t be able to take care of her if she stayed elsewhere, so she arranged for Yue’e to stay in the courtyard where she and Mrs. Song lived and be personally taken care of by her.
“She just drank the medicine and is already asleep.” When Lin Suisui came over after dinner, Yuan Niang had already given the little girl some calming soup as Lin Suisui had instructed. At this moment, the little girl had already fallen asleep.
Lin Suisui nodded and tiptoed forward. Then, she unbuttoned the little girl’s clothes with Yuan Niang and began to check her condition carefully.
After a thorough examination, Lin Suisui heaved a sigh of relief. As she washed her hands with medicinal wine in the copper basin that Bai Guo brought over, she whispered to Yuan Niang, “Fortunately, it’s not too serious. Let her take medicine internally and apply ointment externally. When her external injuries recover, I’ll arrange a medicinal bath for her. With this, she’ll recover completely after a year of recuperation!”
“That’s great! This child had a tough life. When I picked her up today, there happened to be a neighbor living not far from her family in the medicine shed. When I mentioned this pair of siblings, they all felt sorry for them.
It was said that her family used to be wealthy. To be precise, her mother’s family used to be well-off. Because her mother was the only daughter in the family, she married Yue’e’s father, Wu Tianbao.
At first, Wu Tianbao acted like a gentleman. Later on, as time passed, Wu Tianbao slowly revealed his greedy nature.
The Du family used to run a winery. Originally, the old couple’s business was quite good, but later on, when they got older, Wu Tianbao took over the family’s business. Wu Tianbao was ambitious but incompetent.
It was fine when the old couple kept an eye on him previously, but after they passed away, Wu Tianbao revealed his true colors! At that time, Yue’e’s mother realized that Wu Tianbao was actually already married and had children in his hometown!
However, now that Wu Tianbao had already taken over the Du family’s business, even if Yue’e’s mother knew and objected, it would be useless! Yue’e’s mother had a meek personality and was tortured by the vicious couple for less than half a year before she finally died! Only Yue’e and her brother were left…
Wu Tianbao wasn’t a good person to begin with. Although he had taken over the Du family’s business, he was incapable of managing it. In addition, he was a prideful person who was lazy and addicted to gambling!
In less than a year, not only had their family business been ruined, but they also owed a lot of gambling debt!
Without money, he would beat up Yue’e and her brother at home and order them around like slaves! Not only that, but later, he was bewitched by a vicious woman and sold Yue’e off to a brothel to earn money for him!
With money, Wu Tianbao wanted to recoup his previous gambling losses, so how could he save money?! Since they had benefited from selling off Yue’e, they wanted to use the same trick on Yue’e’s brother!
Yue’e cried her heart out, but how could she stop her father?!
However, in order to coax Yue’e into obediently earning money for them, her father lied to her that as long as she was obedient, he wouldn’t do anything to her brother! However, he sold her brother to a brothel for ten taels of silver!
Today, Yue’e secretly ran back from the brothel. When she saw that her brother had been sold by her father, she went crazy and argued with her father. That’s why she cried and asked you for help!”
Yuan Niang raised her hand and gently smoothed Du Yue’er’s hair. Then, she continued, “That kind of father and stepmother really deserve to be cut into pieces!”
