"Mother-in-law, look what I brought?"

"What?"

The little boy was holding something in his left and right hands to show off. Although the old woman had presbyopia, she was not blind. The blurry objects were clearly a pair of cotton shoes and a coat.

"Shoes and coat."

"Guessed it!"

The little boy hurriedly asked the old woman to sit down, and then put his coat on the old woman's rickety back: "Mother-in-law, are you warm?"

The old woman did not answer the question, but asked: "Where did you get these things?"

The little boy was very proud: "I bought it."

"Then where did you get the money?"

These cotton-padded shoes and coat cost almost one tael of silver. A pound of rice only costs ten cents. She only gets one hundred cents for sewing a piece of cloth armor for someone. She can only sew one piece of clothing day and night every month.

Three or four pieces, how can a child get so much money?

"A big fool gave it to me."

"Big fool?"

"I splashed water on him, but not only was he not angry, he even gave me a couple of silver coins."

As the little boy spoke, he hurriedly put the old woman into warm cotton shoes.

How could the old woman believe such a lame lie: "Xiaowen, tell your mother-in-law, did you steal someone else's money?"

"I didn't steal it, that idiot really gave it to me."

The old woman took the little boy's hand and said, "Xiao Wen, my mother-in-law told you not to treat small evils as harmless and uncorrected. If small evils are not controlled, big disasters will ensue."

The little boy threw away the old woman's hand angrily: "I didn't steal it!"

The old woman pulled the little boy into the house, then put down a pottery altar. With a crash, dense copper coins poured out from the mouth of the altar, and some rolled to the corner of the wall.

As the old woman spoke, she counted them one by one. Such a pile of copper coins only amounted to less than 600 coins, and she murmured: "It's not enough."

"Mother-in-law, what are you doing?"

"You stole someone's money, so naturally you have to give it back to them."

The little boy was furious: "Grandma, I really didn't steal it!"

"Xiao Wen, sometimes your unintentional actions may bring disaster to others. If this tael of money is used by others to see a doctor, and that person has no money to see a doctor and dies of the disease, is this person you?

You were harmed. I didn’t kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.”

"I don't care, I didn't steal it anyway!"

"No matter what, collect the money first and return it to others. My mother-in-law doesn't have that much money. My mother-in-law will accompany you to return your coat and shoes now."

When the little boy heard that he was going to return the coat and shoes, he immediately became anxious and said, "Mother-in-law, they really weren't stolen."

"Learn to lie and deny at a young age. When you grow up, you can do it."

As the old woman said this, she took a stick and hit her. The little boy let out a cry of aggrievedness.

While crying, she shouted: "Mother-in-law, I really didn't steal. Why don't you believe me?"

"If you still refuse to tell the truth, I'll beat you!"

As the old woman spoke, the stick fell on the little boy...

Xie Fu and Xiao Yu'er spent the night in Xiao Yu'er's former bedroom. There was a north wind last night, and the room was not much warmer than outside.

It's dawn now, the north wind has stopped, and the temperature is much warmer.

Xie Fu looked at the tattered window lattice and smiled, feeling like he had spent the night in a ruined temple.

He had never been in any harsh environment, but Xiao Yu'er looked delicate and not as weak as expected.

Xiao Yu'er's voice suddenly came from behind: "The north wind blew all night last night, so I couldn't sleep, okay?"

Xie Fu looked back and saw that Xiao Yu'er woke up at some point and said with a smile: "I slept well, it's you who didn't sleep, okay?"

"I slept well too."

"Oh, isn't it cold?"

"When you have experienced some suffering, you will be able to understand how inconspicuous this is."

Xiao Yu'er said as she got off the bed, tipped her shoes with her toes, then put them on and walked towards the dressing table. Her back view was quite elegant and dignified like a lady's.

The man sat down and combed his hair and dressed up in front of the bronze mirror.

Yesterday we said we were cleaning the room together. Xiao Yu'er just polished the bronze mirror until it was shiny, and wiped the table and chairs on the dressing table clean. Xie Fu did all the other work.

Xiao Yu'er said slowly while combing her hair in the mirror: "You are quite good at working. You must have been poor when you were a child."

Xie Fu smiled harshly: "We can't do this again tonight."

"No, you didn't do anything with me last night."

Xie Fu said directly: "You are familiar with Jiancheng. You can go to the street to buy some beds, mats and bedding later. Buy whatever comes to mind." He put five taels of silver on the table.

Xiao Yu'er said lightly: "It's too late for you to regret it now. If we stay here, Ma Wuzhong will come to our door soon."

"This is not what you wanted."

"The Ma family is very powerful in Sword City. I can wait until your matter is finished before I can avenge you."

"Well, I'll do it if it's convenient."

After Xie Fu finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out. Abao spent the night in another room. Xie Fu asked: "Abao, you didn't freeze last night, did you?"

Abao was in high spirits: "Brother Qiu, no, the shelter here is much better than where I live, and I wear close-fitting clothes to keep me warm."

"When I finish my work in Sword City, I will give you a reward and you can build a new house when you return home. Your younger brothers and sisters will not have to suffer from the cold in the future."

"Brother Qiu, how is this possible? You are already good enough to me."

Xie Fu didn't bother him about such trivial matters: "You will follow Xiao Yu'er on the street later to see what you need to buy and help carry it."

"good."

Xie Fu took out another one tael of silver: "Eat what you need to eat, drink what you need to drink, and spend what you need to spend."

Yinzi is an all-powerful person who is much more useful than you spending time taking care of others. Under the guidance of Tantai Heqing, Xie Fu has already learned the true use of Yinzi.

Abao was still very honest and polite: "Brother Qiu, no need, I have the money."

Xie Fu patted Abao on the shoulder and walked out. He had just arrived in Jiancheng and wanted to walk around and get familiar with Jiancheng's environment.
