Chapter 876 Saved 2 people
"on fire!"
"Hurry, help put out the fire!"
The people nearby started shouting, and soon several people rushed out, some sweeping with bamboo brooms, some shoveling snow with basins, and hurried to put out the fire.
Fortunately, the location was small and there was snow piled on the roadside outside, so the fire was quickly put out.
However, if the two sisters were still inside, they would definitely be seriously injured even if the fire was put out quickly.
Because the space inside is so small, it is very dangerous to be crushed by the falling iron plate.
Especially this little girl named Doudou, such a large piece of iron plate might cut her directly if it fell on her.
If I get my eyes and face burned again, my life will be ruined.
Almost all the people who came out to put out the fire came from this shop.
Among them was a middle-aged woman with a black mole on the corner of her mouth. She was still in shock. She patted her chest and strode towards Yin Yunting.
"Who are you? Why are you holding this little girl?"
This woman looks fierce and speaks in a gruff voice. At first glance, she looks like a vicious and evil woman.
Doudou burst into tears.
I don’t know whether he was frightened by the sudden incident or by this woman.
"Aunt, yes, it was this young man who saved Doudou and me."
The little girl next to her finally came to her senses, her face still pale.
The woman looked at her again, and then at the small "cake shop", which was already in a mess and was still smoking.
Soil, bricks and snow were piled together, and two bamboo trays were flattened.
"Xiaoou, I built a small room in my shop with good intentions and rented it to you to sell sesame cakes, and this is what you did? You almost burned my shop down!"
The woman put one hand on her waist and poked the little girl's forehead with the other.
While poking, he said loudly, "I said I would have someone build the stove, but you guys just wanted to save some money and let your lazy uncle do it. Now what? What kind of lousy stove is this? It can collapse while it's burning?"
She poked and scolded her lazy uncle in all kinds of ways.
Yin Yunting figured out the relationship and situation between these people while she was cursing.
The two sisters had lost their parents and lived with their uncle. Their uncle said he couldn't afford to support them, so the girl named Xiaoou asked her cousin to build a small bakery outside their shop to sell sesame cakes to them.
In the past, their parents also sold sesame cakes, and Xiaoou learned from them since she was young. She was quick and skillful, and was willing to endure hardships, so she was able to succeed in the business.
But after all, I am young and can't do much in a day.
When she came to sell cakes, there was no one to take care of her sister Doudou, so she brought her sister here to help collect money.
At the beginning, the cousin said that she would help build the stove, but she wanted to charge them fifty copper coins. Xiaoou's uncle disagreed and insisted that Xiaoou give him the fifty copper coins so that he could build it himself.
As a result, the stove has collapsed now.
The woman had a very loud voice and Doudou cried so hard that her eyeballs fell out one by one.
She hugged Yin Yunting's neck tightly, but did not dare to cry too loudly. She was trembling, cold and scared.
"This elder sister." Yin Yunting spoke.
"Big sister?" The woman paused while scolding Xiaoou. She looked older, and although she was not even forty, many people who saw her called her auntie. Even some people who looked to be in their thirties or forties called her auntie, which made her very angry.
This young man actually called her "big sister"?
Huh? I didn't have time to look at him just now, but now that I see him clearly, I realize that this young man is so handsome.
The woman's arrogance was immediately dampened.
But she may have never spoken in a soft or gentle voice, and although her voice was a little lower, her tone was still not very good.
"What are you doing?"
"It wasn't their will that the stove collapsed. The two children are frightened. How about we go in and talk first?"
He looked around the shop, which was not small, but was simply furnished.
"No, who are you? Do you know them?"
"I don't know you. My last name is Yin, and I just arrived in your place."
"Why is the land expensive? This land is not expensive."
"Aunt, he, he just bought ten cakes, and now the cakes are all pressed in there..."
Xiaoou's eyes turned red and tears fell.
She quickly raised her sleeve to wipe it off, but she looked like she had been hit hard, as if she was about to break.
"What?! Ten?" Her aunt shouted, looking at Yin Yunting warily, "Do you want them to compensate you with ten cakes? I tell you, no way!"
"Aunt..." Xiaoou cried, "He saved me and Doudou. We should compensate him with cakes, but we can't do it now. All the money we collected today is put into this..."
She felt so miserable.
What should she do in this situation today?
When she got home, her uncle and aunt would know about it and they would definitely beat her and Doudou. If they didn't give today's money to their uncle, they would have nothing to eat tomorrow.
"You didn't tell me earlier!"
Her aunt immediately shouted to the middle-aged man who was still checking for sparks, "Dad, their bamboo baskets are in there! We have to dig them out!"
The bamboo basket is the one that Doudou uses to collect copper coins.
The middle-aged man turned his head and said in a gruff voice, "Got it!"
Yin Yunting sighed.
Lu Song had already run over, holding a pot of wine in his hand.
"Elder brother, what happened?"
He just saw a big commotion here, and came over to take a look, and saw that the eldest senior brother was actually holding a little girl.
Could it be that he adopted a little girl on the street?
Looking again, there was another one next to it.
two?
Or did these two girls force their father to be their father in public? Were they scammed?
Lu Song quickly looked at the faces of the two girls——
No father or mother?
Looks like a disaster?
"Come in and talk."
They entered the shop of their cousin Xiaoou.
There are only four or five tables here, and there is a long wooden counter on the side, on which are placed many small wooden bowls with dried fruits and preserved fruits on them.
It's a small tea shop that sells snacks. Judging from the small wooden sign hanging on the wall, it also sells two simple kinds of noodles.
After Yin Yunting came in, he put Doudou down. Xiaoou held her sister's hand tightly and was about to kowtow to him.
Her aunt didn't stop her.
"What are you doing?" Yin Yunting quickly supported them, "It's okay, no need to kowtow."
"You don't have to pay for the cakes. I just hope you're all right."
"We don't have to pay for it?" Xiaoou looked up at him.
There were tears in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
"No need." Yin Yunting said softly, "I am also very happy to have saved you."
Lu Song looked at him, then at the two little sisters.
"Sister, can you help me make a pot of hot tea?" Yin Yunting handed a dime to his aunt.
She took a look, snorted, and pushed his hand back, "Who are you looking down on? I can still afford a pot of tea!"
