Chapter 191 Let’s take them with us?

Qiao Ran had a headache, but she also knew that for today's women, there was no other way to express her gratitude except kowtow.

Qiao Ran had no choice but to help the woman up again: "Aunt Qin, you don't have to do this. You guys should eat something quickly. I'll leave more food and water for you."

As she spoke, she took the small bag of fried noodles from her mother's hand, and a few pancakes from her grandma's hand, and gave the water bag and the food to Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin quickly waved her hand and refused: "Thank you, my benefactor! I will never forget your great kindness. But I can't have these things. There are no strong men in my family, and there are only three orphans and widows left. How can I protect them?" These precious food and water? I'm afraid that as soon as you leave, these things will be snatched away."

After hearing this, Qiao Ran glanced around and saw a few ragged refugees sitting under the trees on the edge of the woods not far away, staring straight at this side, or to be precise, staring at her hands. Holding food and water bladders.

If it weren't for the large number of people on their side, I'm afraid those refugees would have pounced on them and snatched them away.

Qiao Ran was a little embarrassed. How could a woman with such a small child survive without food?

She looked around and didn't see the other child Mrs. Qin was talking about, so she asked, "You said you escaped with your eldest son, where is he?"

The woman finished feeding her nephew the dough, and when she saw that the child had finished eating, she shed tears of joy again.

Hearing her benefactor's question, she wiped away her tears, raised her head and replied:

"My Wen'er went to look for water and wild vegetables. He wanted to pick some herbs for his cousin, but he didn't know the herbs himself and felt very guilty. Alas, that child is only 10 years old!"

Just as he was talking, a 10-year-old child ran out of the woods not far away.

He saw his mother being surrounded by a group of people from a distance. He thought his mother was being bullied and ran over quickly.

"Mom, how are you? Are you and Andy okay?"

The little boy ran to his mother, opened his arms, and used his thin body to protect his mother and cousin. He looked at the group of people in front of him warily.

Qiao Ran looked at the three people in front of her and felt deeply in her heart.

In such a dangerous situation, this woman did not even care about her husband and youngest son. She desperately protected her husband's nephew and escaped with her eldest son.

Even though he had nothing to eat or drink, he never left his seriously ill nephew and knelt on the roadside asking for help.

This kind of love is so touching.

And this little boy, regardless of the danger or his young age and frailty, bravely stood in front of his mother and cousin, using his weak body to protect these two only relatives, so he was not a human being. A kind and loving child?

Seeing that her son had misunderstood, Mrs. Qin quickly reached out and tugged at the hem of his clothes and explained:

"Wen'er, please don't be rude! These are all good people in front of you, the great benefactors of our family! They gave you medicine and water to save your brother An, and they also gave us food and water. They are all good people! Hurry up Thank you benefactor!”

The young man looked back at his mother's arms and saw that his cousin, who was already pale and breathless from illness, now looked much better and had opened his eyes, his eyes timid but very sober. Looking at myself and the people in front of me.

He looked at the food and water in Qiao Ran's hand again, and realized that he had misunderstood the good person.

The thing the young man was holding was wrapped in two big leaves but most of the water he had spilled while running fell to the ground. He knelt on the ground with a bang and kowtowed to Qiao Ran and the Qiao family in thanks.

"Thank you to my benefactors for saving my life! I misunderstood my benefactors' kindness. I was reckless. I hope my benefactors will forgive me!"

Qiao Ran quickly helped the person up.

Listening to the mother and son talk, I feel that they speak elegantly and clearly, unlike ordinary farmers.

Looking at the clothes they were wearing, although they had not been washed for a long time, they were a little dirty.

But it can be seen that the material is not bad, and there are not many patches.

It seems that this family's family background was pretty good before. Maybe this half-grown boy even went to school!

Thinking of the sudden misfortune that had befallen them, leaving only three orphans and a widowed mother in the family. Although it was difficult, they supported each other and never left each other. Qiao Ran felt a rare sympathy.

She couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Qin, what are your plans for the future? Are there any other relatives you can seek refuge with?"

The woman shook her head with a gloomy look: "No, apart from the three of us, there are no other relatives. My father is a scholar, and he and my mother only have one daughter, me. In the past few years, both of them have been suffering from the disease one after another. He died of illness and I have no other relatives from my mother's side."

"On my husband's side, I heard that my parents-in-law originally moved to Qingzhou from other places, so I don't know if they have any relatives."

"As for the future, our whole family originally wanted to settle in Xuanzhou County, but only when we got there did we realize what a terrible place it is."

"We didn't even dare to enter the capital. We just wanted to leave Xuanzhou and go to other state capitals. Who knew we encountered such a disaster."

"Now I have these two children, I am penniless, and I don't know where else to go in these troubled times."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She turned her head and looked at the family behind her.

Seeing the pity and sympathy on everyone's faces, the grandmother, mother and third aunt wiped their tears again and again, feeling very sympathetic to what happened to the mother and son.

Qiao Ran handed another vegetable pancake in her hand to the young boy named Wen'er: "Are you hungry too? Eat some pancake to fill your stomach."

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"

The young man simply took the cake without any hesitation.

He could see that these benefactors sincerely sympathized with their three mothers, and he also needed to eat something so that he could better protect his mother and cousin with the strength.

Qiao Ran poured more than half of the spiritual spring water into the empty broken bowl, and let the mother and son take a few sips each.

Seeing that although the mother and son were very hungry, they ate quickly but acted very gracefully, Qiao Ran nodded secretly. The family's tutors were very good.

At this moment, she felt someone pulled her sleeve from behind.

Qiao Ran turned around and saw the look in her mother's eyes, gesturing for her to go aside and talk.

Seeing that the mother and son were still eating, Qiao Ran followed her mother and grandma to the side.

Beside the carriage, Chen Huiniang looked at her mother-in-law and daughter inquiringly: "Mom, Ranran, I think these three people are really pitiful. These three orphans and widows are helpless and have nothing on them. They were bullied by bad guys. How about we take them with us?"
