Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 399: Encountering a Prostitute on the Road

Wang Dashan has been staying in the house, and he is very careful to manage the house in an orderly manner. Su He and her parents are very satisfied, and they are relieved that their servants are so dedicated.

Su He's father took out some silver and gave each of them a reward of one or two taels of silver, and gave them a day off. With them at home, they could go out for a walk, and they could also borrow money for anything they needed to buy.

These people really don't need to buy anything, they only have two sets of clothes every year, and their food and lodging are all provided. These are really good for them, but they just want to go out for a walk when they can take a break.

With money in hand, they are not worried. They have monthly allowance and bonus at the end of the year. This time, they were given more money, so that everyone can see the good days in the future.

He gave Wang Dashan another five taels of silver in private. He took this silver, plus his monthly salary, and it was already several dozen taels. He looked at this silver, feeling both sad and happy. If he had this silver before, he could have sold himself to make a living, but how could he have earned this silver without selling himself?

The only comfort is that I have saved enough money to start a new life with my family and children. As long as you are alive, you must keep moving forward.

The next day, Su He's mother rested at home and visited the neighbors when she had time. Su He's father and Su He went to Fu Man Lou to visit the shopkeeper Wu, although they had only met for a short time.

But when they came to Fengyu City, they were on someone else's territory. The two sides had been doing business together, so they had to pay a visit.

Su He had a few pieces of paper in his pocket, one was a recipe, the others were jewelry patterns. One was for Shopkeeper Wu, the others were for Wen Kaiyan, since he was here this time, he might as well exchange some money and take it away.

Su He never had any spare money, the more money the better. If he didn't make some money after coming here, wouldn't it be the same as throwing money away? Oh! Su He himself despised himself for being a miser.

Then again, it's all because of poverty. Who brought me here? I'm so poor that I only have my brain left. If I don't exchange my knowledge for money, I'll be sorry for this journey.

They walked along the street towards Fu Man Lou. Who knew they would run into a teenage girl kneeling on the side of the road, selling herself to bury her father. She had only one request, to help with the funeral.

Many people went to take a look and left. When Su He and the others went forward to take a look, they knew the reason. There was a large red spot on half of the girl's face, which seriously affected her appearance. I think this is also the reason why she was not sold to the dental shop. Many people took a look and left.

Su He stood aside and watched. This girl had beautiful facial features except for the red spots on her face. They stood here for a long time, looking at the people they were interested in. But when they saw this girl's face, they didn't want to stay any longer.

Su He whispered to his father: "Dad, let's help her! It seems that she probably can't be sold for silver. Ask about the situation first. If you can help, then help. If not, give her some silver and let her bury the body first."

His father sighed and said sympathetically: "Since you have encountered this, you should help if you can!"

Su He squatted down and helped the girl up, and walked to the side of the road. Su He's father helped her put away the things she wrote and also walked over.

Su He asked her, "Miss, do you have other relatives in your family? Why do you have to go to this point?"

The girl choked up and said, "I am a tenant near this city. I fled here because of the famine and originally had a few taels of silver on me. First my mother got sick and spent most of her savings. Now my father has become ill from overwork and is bedridden. All my savings have been spent and my father has not been cured. We have no relatives here. Our original relatives are all distant relatives and we don't have much contact with them."

Then she shed tears and continued, "I really have no other choice. The money I get from selling myself at the pawnshop is too little to pay the rent I owe, let alone bury my father. I have no other choice but to kneel down here and beg kind people to help me and see if they can give me more money."

After asking, Su He felt that this girl had a very hard life, and she was a lonely woman. Su He asked her if she could still live on her own after he helped her pay the rent and bury her father.
