Chapter 112 Pure Kindness
Chapter 112 Pure Kindness
Shouting: "Girl, girl, think twice!"
The driver showed no sign of weakness and whipped the girl who was hugging Wu Mei with the whip again. Her clothes flew up and several bloodstains were clearly visible. Wu Mei was almost mad with rage.
"Don't leave. I will never be reconciled with you today."
At this time, someone nearby stood up and accused the driver of bullying others by abusing his power. It turned into a melee and verbal fight, and Wu Mei had no chance to get a word in.
The driver was surrounded by three layers of people, while the three girls were separated from the crowd.
A kind-hearted woman helped the man with tears in her eyes, and someone pointed across the street:
"There's a herbal medicine shop over there, let's go check on the injury first!"
Most women dare not speak out despite being angry, and they are all kind-hearted, so they can only do their best to help others.
But the eldest sister insisted, "Sister, let's go home. I'm fine. I just need to go home and recuperate."
Wu Mei was extremely angry, but she also felt that she owed a favor to the two sisters. She squatted down, carried her sister, whose leg was bleeding, on her back, and walked into the alley with her sister, who was holding her coat tightly.
The alley became narrower and deeper. The houses in the alley became shorter and shorter, and the streets became dirtier and dirtier. Wu Mei could no longer stand the smell, but she endured it with difficulty and walked into a small courtyard carrying the injured girl on her back.
There was only a thatched shed in the yard, which looked very old. There was no outer wall outside the shed, and it seemed to be a newly built fence, which looked extremely simple. The fence was sparse and useless, and it didn't look very safe.
Wu Mei has lived in Xunyang City since she was a child. This is the first time she discovered that there is such a place in Xunyang City and that people live such a life.
In the past, I always felt that I worked so hard but my life was not very good. Now I feel that I am not grateful for what I have.
There was a wooden bed in the thatched shed, with two simple beddings, both of which were very neat and presentable.
The two sisters were dressed so roughly, but their bedding was complete and tidy. This thought didn't stay in the elder sister Wu's mind for a second, because she was shocked by the blood flowing out of the elder sister's pants.
The elder sister's feet and legs that were exposed outside her trousers were all soaked in blood, looking very scary.
Wu Mei thought that she had broken the person's leg.
So naturally she rummaged through her body for the activity fund given by the young lady and put 50 copper coins on the table. The elder sister refused to take it, and the eldest sister covered her leg in pain and said nothing. Sister Wu was determined to help the two sisters.
In the end, the elder sister took the money embarrassedly and went out to boil water for her elder sister to treat her wound.
Wu Mei saw that it was impossible to treat the wound with water. She had to buy some herbal medicine or find a doctor.
But I had no money left, so I had to turn back and ask the lady for help. At least I had to know what the lady's attitude was.
After listening to Wu Mei's story, Wang Jinyi was indeed angry. To have such a servant could fully infer what kind of person his master was.
"Sister Wu, did you see whose carriage that was?"
"The young lady was in a hurry and didn't have time to look, but I remember the driver of that family. I will never forget him even if he turns into ashes! I will never forget his dog-like appearance."
Huh? What happened? After the anger that had just filled my brain, I now thought that the driver seemed young and strong.
Wu Mei blinked hard.
What's wrong with me? How can I have such a feeling towards a bastard who bullies the weak and doesn't know his place? How can I think this person is good-looking?
Damn it! What's wrong with me? Wu Mei despised herself.
Soon Wu Mei made a decision and asked the lady:
"Miss, I want to receive my monthly allowance."
"Wu Mei, you want to help elder sister heal her injuries, right?"
"Miss, her injuries were partly caused by me. I have to take responsibility. Although I am a slave, I have a conscience."
Wang Jinyi felt that she had picked a maid who was not favored by everyone in the mansion, and now she was with her. This showed that she had justice and conscience, which were extremely rare qualities in a person!
Human qualities are difficult to cultivate, and this quality is innate. Such people will treat people around them well, and this quality is extremely valuable. Wang Jinyi feels that she happens to have a sense of justice, so she values such people more.
Wang Jinyi picked up the brush at hand and wrote a small note with his own crooked handwriting. Although the handwriting was not beautiful, it was understandable that it was an IOU.
Then he put down his pen and read:
"Today, Sister Wu is borrowing the money from Miss Second House for some reason: Wang Jinyi, three taels of silver, which will be deducted from the monthly salary, bonus, and prize money in the future. The borrower is Sister Wu. Do you want to add anything else?"
"Miss, I can't think of anything to add."
Wu Mei dipped her index finger into the ink, shook off the excess ink, and pressed it on the paper.
"Where do I get the money, miss?"
Wang Jinyi looked at Wu Mei who was in a hurry and was about to leave with the note, and shook her head and shouted,
"Wu Mei, you came back, you didn't leave."
Wu Mei found that she did not resign, so she was ready to run out and return to the lady honestly.
"Miss, Sister Wu is leaving now."
Wang Jinyi narrowed her eyes. This person had a simple mind and a kind heart.
"Wu Mei, are you injured?"
It was only then that Wu Mei realized that she had forgotten everything from the beginning until this moment. She checked to see if she was injured, so she moved her arms and legs.
"Miss, I don't seem to be injured."
"Wu Mei."
Wang Jinyi waved her hand:
"Come."
Wu Mei lowered her head, and Wang Jinyi gently pointed at Wu Mei's forehead and cheeks.
"Does it hurt here? It's bruised already."
"I don't feel anything, maybe it's not heavy!"
"It's already bruised! You can go with the two sisters to see the doctor. I will pay for your medicine. Just report the truth. Come back and settle the bill with Qingyu. Bring back the prescription and give it to Qingyu to record."
Wu Mei was deeply touched. She never expected that this little girl of hers, who looked like a tiny child, could be so meticulous in her work.
I was really moved. My nose couldn't help but feel sore, and my eyes suddenly became moist. My snot started to flow out uncontrollably.
Wang Jinyi hurriedly looked for paper. There were no disposable tissues here, and there was no way she would waste writing paper.
Then, he tore off a small floral handkerchief from his collar and handed it to Wu Mei.
"You've been offended. The master knows that it's the fault of others, not yours. You have the right idea to help others, but you also have to take care of yourself. Be careful in the future! Okay, take care of your own business."
"Miss, yes! I'm going down."
Wu Mei took the small handkerchief from the young lady, which was not even as big as her palm and had embroidered patterns on it. Wu Mei held the small handkerchief in her hand. She didn't know how to describe her emotions, but she could hardly suppress them.
From the time she was hit by the carriage until now, the young lady is the one who cares about her the most and the only one who treats her as a human being.
"Miss, I am really leaving!"
