Chapter 994: threshold

As the proprietress of Taibailou, Mrs. Wang turned on the green light all the way, and the seats in the private room were served quickly, and all of them were the top dishes of Taibailou.

"Haitang, you must be rich. You have to know, I can't put my mouth down on this table, and I dare not use my chopsticks, because every bite is full of white money!"

Fang Shaoyao made fun of it, she wasn't telling a lie, she bought two ducks in eight-treasure sauce from Taibailou eighty-eight taels of silver each.

At this moment, a few small buns, each with a duck leg, chewed until their mouths were full of oil, and they squinted their eyes.

"As expected of Taibailou, this sauced duck is a masterpiece!"

Since he dared to ask for a price, he must have something special, otherwise he would not be able to gain a foothold in Kyoto.

Li Guanglu picked up a piece and was deeply moved. He couldn't afford the sauced duck with that little money every month.

In Kyoto, there is no industry to rely on, and when you go out to invite your colleagues to drink, you are stretched, and those who search are easy to be excluded.

"Eat with peace of mind, boldly lower your chopsticks!"

Li Haitang entertains everyone, no matter how expensive the food is, it is still eaten by people, if no one buys it, it loses its value.

Shangsi Festival is a good day, everyone gathers together and chats.

When Xiao Lingchuan and Li Guanglu talked about overseas affairs, there was only one topic that Li Guanglu cared about. Li Haitang was close to Fang Shaoyao, and there were many topics between women, such as clothes, jewelry, head looks, gossip in Kyoto, business experience.

"Ruyi didn't come?"

After the banquet, Fang Shaoyao found that there were fewer people, and she was mainly concerned about the fifth son.

Three years old and old, the little five has a good temper and is sensible, and he will never be wrong in the future.

If she could be her own son-in-law, she would be considered as her childhood sweetheart, whom she watched and grew up with.

"No, she is busy taking care of her children these days."

Picking up a baby for no reason, who knows if there will be troubles in the follow-up, but all this is calculated by the other party actively, and I am afraid that it will not be sent back.

"Is there such a thing?"

Fang Shaoyao felt incredible, while Lin Wan looked envious. At her age, she didn't want to get married again, and really wanted to adopt one.

Lin Wan went to the ruined temple in the north of the city to look for it twice, where there were little beggars in dirty clothes.

"Then why didn't you pick up a cheap son?"

Fang Shaoyao didn't know about this. What she meant was that if she wanted to adopt, she should find a newborn child of a few years old. If she is sensible, she might raise a white-eyed wolf in the future.

The Lin family is not considered a big family, but at least they have a lot of money. What if the adopted son unites with his biological parents and takes away the money?

It's not that she thinks badly, such a precedent is not unprecedented.

"You're right, the result of my visit was that the little beggars united and stole the purse."

Lin Wan was very helpless, the beggars were self-contained, sweet talk, clever talk, pretending to be well-behaved, but actually calculating, it was too complicated.

She carried the house on her back and went to look for it secretly. She lost her purse and could only walk home on her legs. When she reached the door, she almost collapsed on the ground.

She realized that there was something wrong with her thinking, and she would not avoid her personal servant girl in the future, so it would be better if several people discussed it.

"Sister Lin Wan, there is something to rely on when you get married, do you really plan to keep doing this?"

Everyone has their own way of life that they think is comfortable, Li Haitang can't say much, this attitude, Lin Wan has not changed.

"Yeah, it's not bad to be free."

It's just that what parents think is that in the next hundred years, no one will retire.

Lin Wan didn't want to be adopted by the Lin family. Finding a child with parents would cause many troubles in the future.

"Haitang, is your charity hall still open?"

Lin Wan remembered that Li Haitang had been talking about opening a charity hall. If the charity hall opened, it would be much easier for her to find a suitable child.

"I'm eight months pregnant, so I can't take care of it for the time being. If you have time, it would be best if you could help me with my work."

Li Haitang caught two strong men, and after she gave birth, she had to stay in confinement.

It would be great if someone could help.

Li Haitang also thought about the issue of adoption, but later felt that Daqi is not modern after all, and buying and selling people is legal.

There is no money for adoption, so what if the child is sold? Doesn't that mean nothing?

Although I will check some road guides and other objects, there will inevitably be kidnappers with bad intentions who want to get something for nothing.

Adoption is carried out in a small area, and moreover, there are too few cases like Lin Wan. People in the village chew and use it for a year, and it is a problem to support their families. Who would be so loving and bring up a child?

Unless there are other plans, I can't afford a wife and want to find a child bride for my son.

Li Haitang thought so, and sounded a wake-up call for himself.

"Haitang, if you say that, I will remember."

Fang Shaoyao drew inferences from one instance and established a charity hall, which can help and contribute some money.

In the past, a few people sat together and brought up this topic. There were still many old people who had no one to take care of them, and finally died miserably.

Establish a blessed place for the elderly to help these childless and miserable people.

However, there has to be a limit.

"For example, some unfilial sons and daughters don't want to provide for their parents, and send the old couple to the charity hall. Are we going to be taken advantage of?"

It doesn't matter how much it costs, it takes up resources, people feel at ease, think you are rich and want to do good things, they send people to your door and give you a chance, and you have to be grateful for it.

Why?

"you're right."

Li Haitang thought of this question, there are not a few people like this.

I used to live in Lijia Village, and there were people like this in the village.

The son does not support his parents and is not filial. The old couple are old and have to work, so they are driven to live in a shed.

Li Haitang's sympathy is sympathy, but going back to the source, some parents are patriarchal, and they are too spoiled, which leads to the son growing up in a deformed environment, taking everything for granted.

Once this kind of psychology is formed, it cannot be changed in the later stage.

"There is also a kind of person who steals chickens and dogs when they are young, does not do good things, and rebels in their old age."

Once this kind of person is put in, it will cause endless hidden dangers to the charity hall, sneaking around, what if they harass others?

It's scary to think so.

Therefore, money must be spent wisely to help those who are really in need.

Regarding this, we need to make a detailed plan and set up some thresholds, instead of helping others without a bottom line.

The idea is good, but when it is actually implemented, there are many difficulties.

The three of Li Haitang were lost in thought.

"Brother Xiao, to tell you the truth, no matter what, I have to go to the sea!"

Li Guanglu especially admired Xiao Lingchuan, no matter what he said, the other party could answer one or two. For this reason, as if he had found a confidant, he involuntarily drank two more glasses.

Li Guanglu doesn't hold a lot of alcohol, he drinks too much, now he doesn't care about it and says, "I'm in a dream, I've been there countless times!"

He is a concubine, he was oppressed by his aunt in the early years, so he could only study hard, and he was awarded a Jinshi and became an official as soon as possible, so he left the Li family. Now, he has done it, but he is still depressed. His dream is to travel all over Daqi and even the outer seas, write a few travel notes, and leave them for many students to read.
