Chapter 105 The righteous Ding Shiping
"Shen Xiaojun was so hungry that he begged for food from every household.
Some people felt sorry for him and would give him some food. This is how he came here in the past few years."
After listening to Ding Xiaolan's story, Gao Wen felt very uncomfortable.
Although Shen Xiaojun's situation was explained in a few words, Gao Wen knew that only Shen Xiaojun himself could understand the bitterness involved.
Ding Xiaolan and the others also felt uncomfortable. Although they had lived a difficult life since childhood, lacking food and clothing, they were much better off than Shen Xiaojun.
At least they have parents and brothers, so they don't have to worry about the next meal, let alone the future.
Gao Wen asked in confusion: "Isn't the village chief clear about Shen Xiaojun's situation? Why did he allow that family to deduct Shen Xiaojun's food?"
"The village chief has looked for that family many times, but that family always has many reasons." Ding Shiping responded positively.
"They said that they had to pay taxes, produce grain, and work hard. They couldn't harvest much grain in a year and could only give Shen Xiaojun so much."
Gawain asked curiously: "How many are there in a year?"
"One hundred catties of corn." Ding Shiping replied.
"What!" Gawain exclaimed, "It's only a hundred pounds! This is not enough."
Gao Wen couldn't figure out how Shen Xiaojun would eat with less than ten kilograms of grain a month.
How could he survive if he didn't seek help from the villagers?
Gawain thought bitterly, that family was too useless.
Gao Wen wanted to help Shen Xiaojun, but the current situation of their family did not allow her to blatantly help him.
However, Gawain already had an idea in mind.
Shen Xiaojun ate the porridge for two days. Even though it was a little sour afterwards, he still ate it all.
When Gao Wen and the others arrived home, Shen Xiaojun was waiting outside the door.
"Here you basin, I'm not using your basin." After putting it in Gao Wen's hand, Shen Xiaojun ran away.
Gawain closed his mouth to stop him, looked at the clean basin, and sighed in his heart.
This kid, Shen Xiaojun, must have suffered so many cold looks to be so sensitive.
Gao Wen asked Ding Shiping to deliver food to Shen Xiaojun every now and then, always when it was dark and no one was around.
When Ding Shiping went to deliver food for the first time, Shen Xiaojun was a little surprised.
Someone actually took the initiative to bring him food. This was simply impossible for him.
Ding Shiping sympathized with him. He was very happy to be able to help Shen Xiaojun now that he had no ability before.
Ding Shiping patted his chest and promised, "I won't let you go hungry in the future."
Shen Xiaojun looked at him and said calmly: "Are you the head of your family now?"
Ding Shiping was choked, "I mean, my sister-in-law is a very nice person now. She asked me to give you food. She will take care of you."
Shen Xiaojun didn't quite believe it. These years of struggling to survive had built up a thick wall in his heart.
He didn't respond. After thanking Ding Shiping, he changed his basin and let Ding Shiping go.
Ding Xiaoping wanted to talk to him more, but seeing that Shen Xiaojun was not getting close to anyone, he had no choice but to leave.
As Ding Shiping delivered meals more often and he was so talkative, Shen Xiaojun gradually got used to his presence.
One day, Ding Shiping's good friend Gao Zhihua suddenly came to Ding's house.
He invited Ding Shiping to go catch fish in the creek tomorrow.
"Xiaoping, you don't even know how many fish there are in the river. How many people catch them every day." Gao Zhihua said excitedly.
Ding Shiping goes to the county every day and has not played with him for a long time, but Gao Zhihua has not forgotten Ding Shiping as a friend.
