Chapter 245 We Won’t Let You Down
Shen Ruolan got off the carriage and saw a lot of flour and broken eggs scattered on the ground, which made her feel distressed. She frowned and asked Mu Jin, "Why are you so careless?"
Mu Jin knelt on the ground and apologized to Shen Ruolan: "Madam, I did not do my job well. Please punish me!"
When Shen Qi saw his granddaughter's carriage stopped, he stepped forward and asked, "Lan'er, what's wrong?"
Shen Ruolan said to her grandfather: "Grandpa, it's okay, it's just that some food was wasted, what a pity."
Shen Qi looked at the spilled eggs and flour on the ground. He looked at Mu Jin with an unhappy face and said, "You are so impetuous, girl. If you can't serve others, let others do it."
Mu Jin quickly apologized to Shen Qi: "Old doctor, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."
At this time, Shen Hui came over and said, "Sister Lan, it's okay if the flour spilled. We still have plenty in the carriage. Let's hurry on while it's cool."
Shen Ruolan was about to nod to Shen Hui, but Mu Jin suddenly stood up and said, "Madam, please wait for me. I will go buy eggs for the young master."
After saying that, she flew away without waiting for Shen Ruolan's consent.
Seeing that everyone had left, Shen Ruolan had no choice but to let the carriage pull over and wait for Mu Jin. Then she looked around and said to an old lady who was selling wild vegetables, "Grandma, I spilled some flour and eggs here. If you don't mind, just take them all home."
The old lady who was selling wild vegetables heard what Shen Ruolan said. She took her walking stick, knocked left and right, and asked Shen Ruolan excitedly: "Little girl, where is the thing you said? I don't mind, I'll go get it right away."
Shen Ruolan saw that the other party couldn't see, so she squatted down and said to the old lady: "Grandma, here, give me your pocket."
Shen Ruolan saw that there was nothing to put the eggs in, so she told Ziyuan, "Ziyuan, go get a small wooden basin."
"Yes, ma'am." Ziyuan bowed to Shen Ruolan and hurried to the carriage at the back to get the wooden basin.
When the old lady heard Shen Ruolan asking for a pocket, she handed her own pocket, which had been patched countless times, to Shen Ruolan and said, "Miss, this is my pocket."
Shen Ruolan took the bag and hesitated for a moment. She asked Ziyuan to bring another bag. She put the clean flour on top into her own bag, and then put the layer of flour that was close to the ground into the old lady's bag. After she finished, she handed the two bags to the old lady and said, "Grandma, the extra bag contains clean flour, and the smaller bag has dirt. You can take it back and feed the animals."
The old lady took the bag, reached out her hand and touched a handful of dirty flour, and said to Shen Ruolan with a smile: "Thank you, young lady, for such good flour. I can't bear to feed it to the animals."
"It's up to you, mother-in-law." Shen Ruolan was just giving a kind reminder. As for how the old lady would handle it, she did not interfere.
Ziyuan packed the beaten eggs and said to Shen Ruolan, "Madam, the eggs are ready."
Shen Ruolan took the wooden basin, looked down, and asked the old lady, "Mother-in-law, do you have any other family members?"
Shen Ruolan paused and continued, "There are fifty or sixty broken eggs. I'm afraid it's difficult for you to carry them all by yourself."
She bought sixty or seventy eggs every time, which could feed the two children for six or seven days. Except for the ten or so that were broken and could not be picked up, the rest were still edible.
Before the old lady could reply to Shen Ruolan, she heard a woman suddenly come over and say, "Miss, she and I are from the same village, let me take it back for the old lady."
After the woman finished speaking, she looked at the old lady and said with a smile: "Third grandma, I am Cui'er, the wife of Daniu. It's not easy for you to carry so many things. Let me help you."
Unexpectedly, when the old lady heard the woman's voice, her face changed. She quickly said to Shen Ruolan: "Miss, thank you for your kindness. You should give these eggs to others. I only need these dirty flour."
After she finished speaking, she quickly stood up, carried her basket and flour and left.
The old lady knew very well that as a blind old lady, she would not be able to carry all these things home.
The old lady's panicked expression did not escape Shen Ruolan's eyes. She glanced around and said to the people around her, "Whoever escorts this old lady home will get this basin of eggs."
As soon as Shen Ruolan finished speaking, a group of little beggars suddenly rushed over and said, "Madam, give it to us. We know where the old lady is from and will send her home safely."
Shen Ruolan looked at the leading beggar and said, "How can I trust you?"
The leading little beggar raised his right hand and said to Shen Ruolan: "If we can't do it, let God cripple our hand."
Shen Ruolan handed the egg to the little beggar and said, "Okay, I believe you. I hope you won't go back on your word."
The little beggars took the eggs and said to Shen Ruolan happily, "Thank you, Madam. We won't let you down."
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of little beggars ran towards the old lady with basins in their hands.
The woman felt unwilling to see Shen Ruolan give the eggs to the beggar, but she was just unwilling. Looking at the large group of people standing behind her, she didn't have the courage to say anything to Shen Ruolan.
But the little beggar didn't walk far. He ran back in a panic and found Shen Ruolan and said, "Madam, the old woman fainted."
When Shen Ruolan heard that the old lady had fainted, she hesitated for a moment and said to the little beggar, "Where is she? Take me over to see her."
The little beggar pointed to the front and said, "It's right in front."
Shen Ruolan held the two children and said to Ji Han, "Ji Han, come up and help me look after the children."
Outside, Shen Ruolan now basically asks Ji Han to help hold the baby. She doesn't feel at ease if she asks someone else to do the same.
Of course, her own grandfather could do it, but he is too old and can't stand the tossing of two little ones. Normally, unless her grandfather holds the children himself, she won't let him take care of her children.
Ji Han responded to his master: "Yes, Master."
After saying this, he looked around for a while before walking forward with his master.
Although Shen Ruolan did not call Ziyuan and others, they still followed as usual, wherever the mother and son went.
Shen Ruolan quickly came to the old lady and saw someone trying to snatch the bag from under her. She quickly shouted, "Stop it!"
The people who were stealing things saw someone coming and they ran away immediately.
Shen Ruolan came to the old lady's side and took her pulse. She saw that she had fainted from hunger and had severe bruises on her head. She quickly told Ziyuan, "Ziyuan, go buy some buns."
Shion said, "Yes, ma'am."
Shen Ruolan hesitated for a moment as she looked at the wound on the old lady's head, then took out her silver needle to help her with acupuncture and started bleeding.
