Chapter 498: Discussing the Orphanage

Gu Chunzhu followed the county magistrate's wife and the child. The nearly four-year-old child knew where the family was. The county town was only so big, so she followed the child to the south of the city.

The south of the city is a relatively poor place in the county seat. There are rows of low houses, many of which are not even tidy up the tiles, and they leak even when it rains.

The child took the cake and walked to the door of her house. There was a big stone in front of the house. She stood on it and jumped up and down the stone and shook it several times.

"This..." The county magistrate's wife looked at the danger and was about to stop it.

Gu Chunzhu pulled her aside at this time, and saw a woman walking out of the door. Her clothes were covered with patches. When she saw the child, she scolded and opened her mouth, "Who asked you to come back, I didn't even have you when you came back. I'll give you something to eat and let you go. The farther you go, the better. If you go farther, you can still have a way to live. At home, you will die of starvation."

"Woohoo ... Mother." The child stood at the same time and cried in the same place, pleased the hand behind and handed the cake over, "This is for you, I don't want to go, I want to talk to the mother. together."

"Look, aren't you doing well outside? You can still beg for such a good cake. Your brother can only eat porridge with me, not even a few grains of rice." The child's mother said and put the cake into the child's hand. Inside, he took a broom and drove out: "Let's go, I don't need you here, just support yourself outside."

Gu Chunzhu listened to the girl's words, and couldn't help grabbing at the front of his clothes. If he said this to a twenty-year-old, it would be sloppy, but now he is only a four-year-old child.

It can be seen that the child's mother doesn't care about the child. She didn't take the cake, but the same child was abandoned by her mother. There is a younger brother at home, which is more important than the younger brother.

"Wow—" The child ran away with a "wow" cry.

The child's mother stared at the child's back for a while before wiping her tears and closing the door.

Gu Chunzhu took the county magistrate's wife to chase the child. The child didn't run far, but just ran to a corner to wipe her tears. She said aggrievedly: "Mother doesn't want me anymore, mother doesn't want me anymore..."

"This child is really pitiful, her mother... Blame this year of disaster. My master is afraid that he will be blamed for losing his black gauze hat. Compared with the common people, at least the family has no worries about food and clothing." The county magistrate's wife said with emotion. A woman's heart is naturally softer.

Gu Chunzhu gently patted the child's back, not at all disgusted by the child's filth, and suggested to the county magistrate's wife, "I have a way to help these poor children."

"What method?" The county magistrate's wife also asked with interest.

"Go back and talk about it." Gu Chunzhu said and picked up the child, coaxed her to eat cake, and then carried her back to Ling Ying's wedding shop all the way, and asked Luo Xinlan to take her down and scrub it first.

She didn't delay, and directly discussed with the county magistrate's wife, "I think we should build an orphanage..."

"What is an orphanage?" The county magistrate's wife interrupted Gu Chunzhu's words.

"The orphanage is to take in some children without parents and mothers, such as those children who are abandoned by their parents today. I heard from the little guy earlier that his grandmother still had children who changed hands during the disaster year, and some were on the way. Tie children to eat. Children are so innocent, why don't we pay for them in a good place?" Gu Chunzhu repeated his thoughts.

The county magistrate's wife nodded, but she also had her own concerns, "However, every family sends their children here, and they don't have so much money!"

"Let them write a letter of severance. You can see that those with the handle will stay at home and pass on incense, and the rest are these poor girls. In terms of money, I am willing to spend five taels per month. Silver, if there is a wife to help the wealthy households in the county town, it is estimated that they will be willing to give out some silver." Gu Chunzhu looked at the county magistrate's wife earnestly, she represented the official.

"This is really saving people. I have to go back and discuss it with my master, and I can also allocate some of this money. You don't know that when you cook porridge, many able-bodied people also come to collect it, so this money is not available. It's better to set up an orphanage." The county magistrate's wife thought about it carefully and supported Gu Chunzhu's idea.

When Gu Chunzhu heard this, the corners of his lips curved slightly.

As long as the county magistrate and wife promised, it would be inseparable. The matter of confiscating those grain dealers was achieved after she went home and talked about it, indicating that the county magistrate was very obedient to his daughter-in-law.

"Chunzhu, this child looks quite Zhou Zheng. I changed her into a dress that my Yingzi wore when she was a child. Look at it." It happened that Luo Xinlan cleaned up the child and looked clean and fresh. , A hair has not been washed but has been combed, and it looks a lot better.

"This is what a child should look like." The county magistrate's wife took the child's hand and asked, "Would you like to have a place where you can have a lot of friends to play together, but never see your parents?"

"My father and mother don't want me anymore, Xiao Li just wants to be full." The child rolled down tears in the blink of an eye, she said obediently.

"Good boy." The county magistrate's wife couldn't sit still, and she got up in a hurry, wishing she wanted to implement the orphanage as soon as possible.

Gu Chunzhu sent away the county magistrate's wife, temporarily entrusted Xiaoli to Luo Xinlan, and went back home when he was done.

On the second day, Gu Chunzhu was still at home

She labored hard to make a cake. In addition to her own children's food, she also left a large piece to send to Yingzi. An An thought that she hadn't seen Yingzi for a long time, so she insisted that she would go with her, and she had to bring Su Mudan with her. .

Gu Chunzhu had no choice but to go with the two children. As soon as they arrived at Ling Ying's wedding shop, one of the children rushed out and hugged Gu Chunzhu's leg, "Auntie, you are here."

Gu Chunzhu looked at Xiao Li's hair and washed his hair, and tied a small tug on his head with a red headband. He was wearing the clothes that Yingzi wore when he was a child. Although the material was not very good, the stitches were extremely fine, and it looked exceptional. not bad.

Hearing Xiaoli calling her auntie, Gu Chunzhu guessed that Luo Xinlan taught her, and squatted down and asked, "Isn't Xiaoli used to living here?"

"Well, I'm full." Xiao Li patted his stomach and said.

At this time, An An, who was following Gu Chunzhu, stuck her head out and looked at the little girl in surprise, "Mother, when did you raise a little radish head here, and you treat her so well, Xiaoling and Yingying know it. You can't be jealous."

Speaking of her own tone, there was still a sour taste. No wonder Gu Chunzhu brought such a large piece of cake. It turned out that it was not for Yingzi alone.
