"Old madam, to be honest, I came here today because I wanted to discuss something with my son."
The old lady was a little surprised when she heard this. She knew best what kind of person her son was, so how could he be related to these noble people in front of him.
Could it be that his son caused trouble outside again?
Although she was a little confused, she didn't show it. She just nodded: "Okay, I just don't know if he is at home at this time."
The few people in front of her had just saved her, and she could tell that they didn't have any ill intentions.
If it was really his son who caused something outside, there would be nothing he could do about it.
The old woman picked up the vegetable basket on the ground and thought about picking up the vegetable leaves. Jiang Li saw this and hurriedly helped. When the old woman saw it, she felt an unknown feeling in her heart.
He said, "Guys, please follow me."
Jiang Li and others followed behind. Jiang Li observed that although the old woman's clothes were simple and shabby, with large and small patches on them, she was very clean.
A few people and the old woman came to the depths of the alley. Compared with the outside, the place was obviously dirty and narrow.
The old woman's face was shy: "Benefactors, the last one is my home."
The closer they got inside, the smaller it became. Jiang Li and Pei Zhi looked at each other and headed inside.
The old woman opened the door. Although the room was small, it was very clean and tidy.
The old woman said: "Please wait a moment. My son has gone out and hasn't come back yet."
As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and wanted to pour tea for a few people, but found that he couldn't take out the decent cups on it, and his face showed embarrassment again.
Jiang Li noticed and said: "Old madam, we are not thirsty. Please sit down and have a rest."
The old woman had mixed feelings in her heart and suddenly knelt down: "I don't know how the lady got to know my son. My son is useless. If he offends the lady somewhere -"
Jiang Li wanted to help the person up, but the old woman refused. As soon as she closed her eyes, tears flowed out.
Jiang Li understood what the old woman was worried about, but when she came this time, she really only wanted to take advantage of her.
But the old woman in front of me is really pitiful——
When Jiang Lizheng didn't know what to do, Pei Zhi held her hand and said, "Don't worry, old lady. We are here today to discuss a business deal with you."
"The power of choice lies with you."
When the old woman heard this, she felt relieved.
She only had this son now. If something happened, she didn't know what she would do.
Not long after, there was a series of rustling sounds outside. It was Ji Qinsheng who had returned. When he saw that his house was full of people, he subconsciously wanted to escape, but was blocked by the sign.
He looked at Jiang Li and the two of them and came to his senses: "Who are you and why are you in my home?"
"Where is my mother?"
Jiang Li looked at the man in front of her.
This is Ji Qinsheng, he looks very ordinary, but somehow he deceived the prefect.
The old woman heard the voice coming from here and hurried over: "Qin Sheng, these are my benefactors, please don't be rude."
"Benefactor? Mother, what happened?"
When Ji Qinsheng heard this, he hurriedly checked on his mother and made sure that nothing was wrong before he felt relieved.
"I'm fine, thanks to this girl."
The old woman recounted what happened today. After hearing these words, Ji Qinsheng felt good about the people in front of him.
"You guys helped me, but I don't know any of them, so I don't know what they want from me."
"As long as I can help, I will never refuse."
Jiang Li took over: "Ji Qinsheng, I do have something to trouble you."
Ji Qinsheng's tone improved a lot after he knew that they had helped his mother.
The old woman knew that they wanted to talk about something, so she went on naturally.
Jiang Li then spoke: "I came to you because I wanted to ask you to do me a favor."
"If I guess correctly, are you already suffering from..."
Before she could finish her words, Ji Qinsheng looked flustered and took a few steps back.
I only found out about this today, and it was so private. How could the girl in front of me know?
Jiang Li saw his reaction and then said, "You don't have to wonder how I know. You just need to know that if we cooperate, I can guarantee that your mother will be able to live a long life."
After Ji Qinsheng found out about this today, this was what he was most worried about.
He is not a dead person, but his mother has taught him carefully for so many years. If he leaves this world when he gets old, and his mother is alone, Ji Qinsheng really can't bear it.
"Miss, you can really guarantee that as long as I help you, my mother will enjoy her old age in peace."
Jiang Li said: "Naturally."
After Ji Qinsheng heard this sentence, he knelt down without hesitation: "Thank you very much."
Jiang Li saw him like this and said, "I haven't said what exactly I want you to help with, and you just agree like this?"
Ji Qinsheng smiled bitterly: "Miss, is there anything I can't agree to?"
"You are a rotten person, and if you contract such a disease, you will not survive."
"Now that the young lady has agreed to support my mother, it is the best thing for me."
Jiang Li didn't know what to say when she saw this situation.
Ji Qinsheng may indeed be terrible at some things. The only good thing about him was left to his mother.
"I heard from your mother that you were a scholar who was literate before. How did you end up like this?"
When Jiang Li and others first sat together, the old woman only said that her son used to be very ambitious, but now he is on the wrong track.
It can be seen that the old woman is still proud of her son.
Ji Qinsheng looked dejected: "Miss, if we are born like us, we can barely read a few sentences and know how to read for a few years, what use can we do?"
The hardships of the world often fall on ordinary people like them.
Having seen through this miserable world, he naturally has no hope for high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
Ji Qinsheng originally had hope in this regard, but now he has forced himself to endure this.
Jiang Li said: "Although the world is difficult, there are still people who start from scratch..."
Ji Qinsheng kowtowed: "Miss, it's too late to say anything now."
——
After everything was explained, they left the narrow alley.
Jiang Li's face looked a little depressed.
Pei Zhi was speechless all the way. When he saw the little girl's sad face, he stopped, took the little girl's hand, and said seriously: "Don't blame yourself, he contracted this disease himself, no matter whether we interfere or not, he will not Change the outcome.”
"Today we promise to let her mother enjoy her old age in peace in the future, which is enough."
When Jiang Li heard this, she felt a little better.
He nodded: "Third brother, I know, the matter is settled, let's go back."
She didn't know what to say to someone like Ji Qinsheng. She just pitied his mother for suffering like this at such a young age.
You say he is filial, but he really does nothing and only thinks about having fun.
But if there was no filial piety, how could he take revenge for his mother in his previous life?
