The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1716

[Chapter 1716 Tan Aoshuang’s Extra Story (Part 2)]

Hearing the loud noise, Tan Aoshuang couldn’t help but lift the curtain and saw a long queue.

Tan Aoshuang was a little surprised and couldn’t help but ask Yuxi: “Mother, where are we going?”

When Tan Aoshuang was at her mother’s house, she basically never left the city except to go to Lingshan Temple to worship Buddha with her mother. And she knew that Yuxi did not believe in gods and Buddhas, and what happened just now made her very uncertain about going out of the city this time.

Oak-hee didn’t cheat this time, saying, “Let’s go to the almshouse.” The almshouse was filled with desperate women. Because of the large number of people, they were placed outside the city.

An hour later, he arrived at the almshouse. This almshouse is located at the foot of a mountain. There are beautiful mountains and rivers here, and the scenery is pleasant.

Tan Aoshuang followed Mrs. Tan to the Charity House twice, and the Charity House was noisy because it was full of children. But here, it is very quiet.

In the distance, you can see a row of shacks, and vegetables are grown in front of these shacks. These vegetables are lusciously green and growing gratifying. There are still people in the vegetable field, catching insects and fertilizing.

Seeing that Tan Aoshuang was looking at the vegetable field without blinking, Granny Yin, the chief steward of the almshouse, explained, “Prince Concubine, we grow all the food and vegetables we eat.” When these people arrived at the almshouse, they had to be self-reliant to survive. However, the people who come here are all desperate and desperate. When they came to the almshouse, as long as they did their work, they had enough to eat and warm clothes, which was already a good day for them.

Oak Xi said, “It’s all sloping land, and there are very few fields. So, they basically eat potato and sweet potatoes.” Sweet potatoes were introduced to the Central Plains by Tian Yang six years ago. Now, it has spread all over the world.

Granny Yin said, “It’s already very good to have sweet potatoes and potatoes.” Only rich people can eat rice and white noodles every day. People like them are very happy when they have a full meal to eat and clothes to wear, and they are no longer beaten or scolded. .

Tan Aoshuang followed Yuxi into a shack. At this time, there were six women in the house making clothes. When you look at the style of the clothes, you know they are men’s.

Seeing these people stand up, Oak Xi waved his hand and said, “Don’t be too polite, just do your business.”

People here change frequently, so they don’t know Oak-hee’s identity. Seeing that Granny Yin told them to continue working, they all sat down to continue sewing clothes.

Walking out of the shack, Tan Aoshuang asked, “Mother, mother, are these clothes made for soldiers in the army?”

Intelligence is Tan Aoshuang’s greatest strength. It’s just that the nanny Tan Tuo asked to teach her was a bit devious. Even though Oak-hee knew about her shortcomings, she had not been assigned another nanny to raise her before marriage. Once some opinions are formed, it is difficult to change them without seeing and hearing them. If you want to send a nurtured nanny to preach in the past, it will only make Tan Aoshuang repulsive, and it will be even more difficult to change her point of view.

Oak Xi nodded and said, “The military supplies they make will be paid for each piece.”

Tan Aoshuang was surprised: “Return the money?” She thought that these were all done for free.

“It’s impossible for them to stay in the hospice all the time. Working now allows them to save money and leave when they have the ability to support themselves.” The hospice only shelters them for a period of time, not a place for them to retire.

Tan Aoshuang asked, “Mother, where can they go?” A group of women and children who can’t fight back, even if they have the skills to survive, will be bullied as if no one is protecting them.

“The almshouse will introduce them to work in an embroidery room or a big family, or open a shop and start a small business. Those who are willing to remarry, the almshouse will also help them find candidates.” The people selected by the almshouse are not only good-natured and diligent, but also No bad habits. This bad habit refers to whoring, gambling, beating and scolding people.

Tan Aoshuang asked, “Aren’t they afraid that their ex-husband’s or her parents’ family will find them again when they go out to work or open a shop?” It is also an inescapable trouble to find them.

“The women who go out of the orphanage know that they are weak, so they will help each other after they go out. As long as they can stand up, they will not be afraid even if the former husband’s family or her parents’ family come to you again.” , they will donate money to the almshouse.

Tan Aoshuang was quite shocked.

Just as he was talking, suddenly there was a sound of crying of a child in the distance. When I got closer, I saw that a three- or four-year-old girl had fallen, and a seven- or eight-year-old child was coaxing her next to her.

Oak-hee walked over and picked up the little girl and placed it on a flat surface, and pulled out a candy like a conjuration: “Look, what is this?”

The little girl’s eyes lit up, and she said timidly, “Madam, can I eat with my sister?”

When Tan Aoshuang heard this, his heart moved slightly. For children from poor families, candy is a heavenly delicacy. But this kid still wants to share it with his sister.

Oak-hee took a handful of candy from Mi-ran and handed it to them: “You can give it to anyone you want.” Every time he came to the almshouse, Oak-hee would bring some candy. These candies are for the children of the almshouse.

The little girl and her sister thanked Oak-hee, and they went back happily with wild vegetables.

Granny Yin and Tan Aoshuang said: “Young madam, this older girl is called Mi Mi, because her father passed away, the uncle not only occupied their property but also wanted to sell their mother and daughter. The younger child is named Mi Mi, and her grandmother wants a grandson, The sister who drowned Mai wanted to throw the wheat into the river, but her mother didn’t want to, so her grandmother drove them out.” All the women who came to the almshouse had a history of blood and tears.

Looking at the kid’s back, Tan Aoshuang felt very heavy.

For lunch, Yuxi and Tan Aoshuang used it on Zhuangzi. Oak-hee didn’t ask him to make extra, and the two of them ate the same food as the women in the almshouse.

A pot of wild vegetable dumplings, a plate of fried beans, a plate of scrambled eggs with chives.

Although the wild vegetable dumplings were too unpalatable to eat, Tan Aoshuang still ate them one bite at a time. If you can’t eat, drink water.

Oak-hee nodded secretly.

After lunch, Yuxi brought Tan Aoshuang to prepare to go back. Walking to the entrance, I saw a unkempt woman kneeling and kowtowing in front of a woman wearing dark red clothes: “Please let me stay, please.”

When Granny Yin saw the woman, her face changed slightly. Without waiting for Yuxi to ask, Granny Yin said, “Madam, this woman’s surname is Xia, she didn’t get pregnant after being rubbed off by her mother-in-law, and she was divorced by her husband’s family, and her parents didn’t want to take her in, so she jumped when she had nowhere to go. After he was rescued, he was sent to the almshouse.”

Whether it was in the Salesian or the almshouse, all those in charge called Oak-hee his wife.

Tan Aoshuang was a little puzzled and asked, “Why did you become like this now that you have arrived at the almshouse?” The women I saw in the almshouse just now were not well dressed, but they were all clean and tidy. And those people looked peaceful.

Granny Yin sighed and said, “She stayed in the orphanage for three years, but was recruited to the embroidery room because of her good embroidery skills. After she earned money, she went back to her parents’ home to visit her parents. As a result, her mother not only kept her for the past few years. I coaxed her out of the money she had saved, and tricked her into going home and sold her to an old gangster in her forties for one hundred taels of silver.” After several years in the almshouse and embroidery room, the woman did not get sunburned because she was full every day. Over the sun, raised white and tender. This appearance, even if he is twenty-four years old, can still sell for a good price.

After a pause, Granny Yin said: “The old gangster came to eat, drink, prostitute, and gamble, and paid a lot of money to marry her because she wanted to use her as a cash cow. It’s a pity that the people in the embroidery room resigned her after knowing that she had remarried to the old gangster. The old gangster wanted her to pick up the guest when she saw that her calculus had failed, and she beat her hard if she didn’t want to. Seeing that she couldn’t survive, she wanted to go back to the orphanage.” The embroidery room was paid forty taels a month, and the woman’s family was short-sighted. The old bastard wanted to use her as a cash cow for his immediate interests. Unfortunately, her abacus finally fell through.

The others didn’t dare to mess with this old bastard, but the almshouse was run by the queen. As long as the orphanage is willing to take her in again, she can escape the man’s beatings and persecutions and live.

Yuxi didn’t want to listen any more, and said to Tan Aoshuang, “It’s time for us to go back.”

When Tan Aoshuang got into the carriage, he deliberately glanced at the poor poor woman.

After getting into the carriage, Tan Aoshuang looked at Yuxi with her eyes closed and asked, “Empress mother, isn’t the almshouse taking in these women who have nowhere to go? Why did she kneel down and beg, and the steward didn’t agree to take her in?”

Without opening her eyes, Oak Xi said, “The almshouse will only hold it once.” It was like saying that the almshouse would only save it once, and it would not be taken again. .

Tan Aoshuang asked inexplicably, “Why?”

Oak-hee’s answer was ruthless: “I’ve already died once and I can’t get education, so why save me?”

Tan Aoshuang was so shocked that he didn’t know how to respond.

After returning to the palace, Shumeng poured water over to clean Tan Aoshuang’s face: “Prince Concubine, where did the Queen Mother take you? Why are your clothes and shoes so dirty?”

“To the asylum.”

Shumeng was stunned for a moment, and said, “How do you go to the almshouse? The place is dirty and messy, and the people who live there are still alive or have problems. How can the Empress take you there?” What to do with those diseases. Empress Empress, this is too insignificant.

Charity Hall adopts abandoned babies, and people often donate money for food and drink. But the almshouse, under the perversion of people with a heart, has a bad reputation outside.

Tan Aoshuang’s face darkened instantly when she heard this: “Why did I tell you before entering the palace, when you arrive at the palace, you have to be careful with your words and deeds? You are taking my words off your ears.” It is important, but this can only be kept in the heart and cannot be said.

Seeing that Tan Aoshuang looked wrong, Shumeng realized that she had said the wrong thing again: “Niangniang, this servant is wrong.” Shumeng is like this, if it sounds good, she is straightforward, and if it sounds bad, she is open-minded.

Shumeng’s face changed greatly: “Girl, girl, this servant knows it’s wrong, please spare the servant this time!”

Tan Aoshuang shook her head: “I’ve given you too many opportunities, but unfortunately you can’t learn your lesson. Shumeng, the palace is not for you.” Last time the queen accused her, she thought of giving Shumeng another chance, but now she has changed. idea.

Shumeng was unwilling to leave the palace and leave Tan Aoshuang.

However, Tan Aoshuang had already made up her mind: “You are getting older, I will let and find you a satisfactory marriage.” Originally, she planned to ask her mother to help find a marriage, but what I have seen and heard today , Tan Aoshuang felt that it would be safer to help Shumeng find her.
