"Look at what you're saying, how can I live here for nothing? Don't worry, the person in charge said that according to the standard of a common inn in the city, thirty yuan a day was included in the cost of food and lodging.

In addition, there was another benefit. "Wait for the program to broadcast on TV. The audience will see that our conditions are poor. Maybe there will even be people who will donate money, send items, or help their children go to school or something!"

Li Qiuyun blinked twice, then deliberately changed the subject, "However, I understand your difficulties as well." After all, your family wasn't rich. If you really don't want to, then don't force me. I'll go ask someone else. "

When he heard the Village Head's wife say that someone could sponsor the school going to school on TV, his eyes couldn't help but light up a little.

There was only one small school within several miles. It was about an hour's worth of road from Stone Village.

His cousin was two years younger than him and was currently in the second grade. His family was not well off, and he could barely afford to pay for his cousin alone.

Although she didn't say it out loud, she was still secretly full of envy. Who doesn't want to be a learned man with more sense? If only he could find a way to go to school and learn to read like all the other children in the village!

Green Bamboo couldn't help but secretly hope that if she really had that kind of life, she would meet a kind-hearted person who was willing to give her books. When she grew up in the future, she would work hard to earn a lot of money and pay back what she had done.

"Oh, don't! Sister-in-law, don't be in such a hurry to leave, let's discuss this later! " Unlike green bamboo, Qu Shufen's focus was on money.

When she heard that giving thirty yuan a day would bring her other benefits, her face immediately lit up. Grasping the other party's arm, he beamed with joy and said:

"Actually, not having money is just a small matter. The key is that we haven't had a guest at home for a long time, so it's been deserted all day. With one more person coming over to eat, it would be great to cause a ruckus. Fine, you can let the baby from the city come and live! As for Qiu Hai, I can just tell him. Mother, what do you think? "

Since the other party was not living in vain, Xu Zhu naturally had no objections. Thus, he agreed.

"Then we have a deal." Li Qiuyun pursed her lips into a smile, then patted the back of Qu Shufen's hand, "Prepare a bit, I'll send someone over later." Remember to clean up the place. After all, they are here to pay. "

"Just put your heart in your stomach! "If I don't brag to you, I, Qu Shufen, have always been a thief since I was young." the woman guaranteed, patting her chest.

The house was ready, and it was no trouble to make room. How much could a child eat, no matter how big its appetite? No matter what, this deal was worth it.

Li Qianyun said a few more words before leaving the Qiu Family.

After sending her away, Qu Shufen turned around and returned to the courtyard. When she saw that the bamboo was still kneeling on the ground, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

She widened her goldfish eyes as she berated:

"What are you doing kneeling there with no eyes? The sky is so overcast, can't you see? In a little while, Pillar would be out of school. Hurry up and find an umbrella, go to the village entrance and bring him back! If he gets caught in the rain and has a fever, what good will you get? "

"Alright, I'll go now." "En!" The girl quickly got up from the ground.

After kneeling for a long time, his legs felt numb and he staggered. She quickly held onto the fence to steady herself.

The corner of Qu Shufen's eyes slanted to the side, as if looking down on her a hundred times, "I gave birth to a maid, so don't put on an act and pretend to be a lady.

Don't think that what happened just now is over. If you lose your pay, you won't have to eat dinner. I can see that if you eat too much at every meal, you can get carried away, lose everything, and get hungry for a few meals before remembering.

Also, go and come back quickly, do you hear me? If you dare to dilly-dally and drag on for a few more hours, I'll break your legs! "

"Sigh, I know."

In reality, the bamboo had been hit by a stone on its back and under its ribs, but the pain was still faint. He was kicked a few more times by his aunt, and his face even had a sole. As soon as he spoke, the corner of his mouth was pained.

However, she didn't dare to delay, much less scream out in pain. She repeatedly promised and limped into the house. He grabbed a flower umbrella with a broken handle, casually grabbed it under his arm, and hurriedly walked outside.

"I really don't know what kind of job you are, you don't even know how to take care of this little one. To put it bluntly, there was no work in his eyes and no one in his heart. "When I was a teenager, I took care of my three younger sisters by myself. I didn't let my parents worry about me at all …"

Qu Shufen mumbled as she rolled up her sleeves and went back to her room. He was prepared to clean up his things and arrange a place to stay first.

Xu Zhu raised her head and looked at the thin figure of the green bamboo as it hurriedly ran away. She could not help but fall into deep thought.

She knew very well that a daughter-in-law was an impatient one. If there was anything wrong, it was fine. He loved to poke his nose at the green bamboo.

However, this girl was not her biological granddaughter, so Xu Zhu couldn't be bothered to spend her energy to manage it.

Every time the green bamboo was beaten up, she would turn a blind eye to it. Or, he could use his body's discomfort as a reason to return to his room to hide in the quiet.

In reality, something like today, where she had personally come out to help the green bamboo, was not a common occurrence.

Recently, Qu Shufen had been getting more and more arrogant, and no longer held her in high regard. As such, Xu Zhu could not help but come out from the house and say a few words to her.

She had purposely said those words to her neighbors just now.

In the eyes of the villagers, green bamboo was the only flesh and blood her daughter had left. If he was always being bullied by his daughter-in-law, it would be a bit unreasonable. She would be a good person once in a while, letting her neighbors hear about it. It was enough to know that she felt sorry for her "granddaughter".

Speaking of which, her true heart and soul had already left her for ten years.

That summer, she sneaked into the clinic and secretly swapped the two of them. It was just like yesterday.

Every time she saw green bamboo healthy and healthy, running back and forth, Xu Zhu would always think of her miserable granddaughter.

In terms of age, the two children were the same age. If Qiu Feng's daughter was cured of her illness and could grow up safely, wouldn't she be as high as Qing Zhu now?

Back then, after the couple had left, Xu Zhu was afraid of alerting them, so she did not dare to ask about the other party's information at all. He would often hide in bed and secretly wipe away his tears, or when there was no one else around, he would say a few words to his son.

Then, a week later, no one came back to see her. Xu Zhu reckoned that he must have hidden it from her.

Thus, she asked an acquaintance in the city to secretly look into the whereabouts of the couple.

They were distant relatives, she lied. He accidentally lost his address and was unable to contact it. He also told the acquaintance that the woman had a pair of red phoenix eyes and that there was a pair of dimples on the man's face.

However, there were too many people in the city. Xu Zhu did not know his surname or where he lived so she could only rely on his facial features to find him. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

During that time, Xu Zhu had always been sighing deeply.

He wondered if they could meet again before he closed his eyes. She only hoped that, with the blessing of the heavens, her child could successfully cure the disease, and she would have no other requests.
