Chapter 102 The Little Beggar Brother and Sister

The servant took out two pink bicycles from the carriage, one for Song Rou and the other smaller one with training wheels on both sides of the rear wheel for little Song Yu. Shen Zhi showed them how to ride, and both of them liked the gift very much.

There is another big item, a sewing machine. Shen Zhi learned that all of Mrs. Song's clothes were sewn by Mother Zhao alone, and he felt sorry for Mother Zhao instantly. It happened that he saw this sewing machine when browsing products on his space last night, and the first person he thought of was Mother Zhao.

Mother Zhao knew that this was prepared for her, and her eyes instantly turned red. Fortunately, when Shen Zhi taught her how to use it, her excitement turned into joy in an instant, this sewing machine was so convenient.

Everyone was looking at their gifts happily. Shen Zhi noticed that Mrs. Song looked a little strange, so he quickly took her pulse. Shen Zhi frowned and pondered for a moment, which made everyone nervous.

"What's wrong? Is my wife okay?" Song Che asked anxiously.

Shen Zhi smiled and said, "It's not a big problem, it's just that the fetus is unstable. It will be fine if you have a good rest."

Song Che was stunned. Fetal image? "She is pregnant?"

Shen Zhi nodded and said, "It's still early in the month, so it's not very obvious yet, but it's almost there. You have to be careful in the next two months and keep a happy mood."

Old Mrs. Song was the most excited. "Is it true? I'll go burn incense to our ancestors later. Thank God, the Song family is going to have another baby."

Mrs. Song's eyes were red. She had always thought that she would never be a mother again. Ever since she gave birth to Yu'er, the court doctor said that she had damaged her foundation and would have difficulty in having children. She had always urged Song Che to take a concubine to continue the family line of the Song family. But her mother-in-law always stopped her from mentioning it. Song Che also disagreed with taking a concubine. The two had known each other since childhood and had a deep affection for each other.

Everyone surrounded Mrs. Song and asked her to go back to her room to lie down and rest. Mrs. Song even asked her not to take charge of the household affairs during her pregnancy so as not to worry too much. The old lady reluctantly took over the management and returned it to her after she gave birth to the baby safely.

Old Lady Song was very happy. She rewarded the whole family with three months' worth of monthly allowance and gave each of Shen Zhen and Shen Zhi a big red envelope, not allowing them to refuse.

The two of them happily accepted the red envelope and went straight to the market after leaving the Song Mansion.

This is the first New Year that Shen Zhi has celebrated since traveling to this place, so he is particularly looking forward to the New Year here.

The market was bustling with people. Shen Zhi spent two cents to deposit the carriage at a grocery store, and then the two of them went shopping leisurely.

There were all kinds of stalls in the market, selling calligraphy and paintings, couplets, peanut candies, candied haws, and all kinds of candy figurines, which were dazzling. Shen Zhi bought a lot of melon seeds, candies, candied fruits, and all kinds of cakes. He also bought some rice and flour and wrapped them separately, planning to give them back to Erdan's family. He bought firecrackers and couplets for the New Year, and even went to a clothing store. Anyway, he bought whatever he saw now, and he was not short of money anyway.

The two men finished their shopping and were about to go to the grocery store to get a carriage to go home.

Suddenly, Shen Zhen shouted in panic: "Give me back my wallet."

Shen Zhi turned around and found a little beggar holding Shen Zhen's purse and running away in panic.

Shen Zhi pulled Shen Zhen to chase after him. Both of them were used to doing farm work, and they nimbly passed through the crowd and chased after him.

The little beggar was probably too hungry to have much strength left, and the distance between him and the Shen Zhi sisters was getting closer and closer. But he still ran as hard as he could. There were fewer and fewer people around him, and the little beggar ran into a small alley as if he was familiar with the road, and finally got into a dilapidated courtyard.

The Shen Zhen sisters also caught up. They deliberately slowed down their pace and finally stopped outside the yard.

When Shen Zhi pushed open the gate, the little beggar looked back in panic. He thought he had gotten rid of them, but he didn't expect them to follow him.

"I'll give it back to you. Please don't tell anyone about it in front of my sister, okay?" The little beggar took out Shen Zhen's purse from his arms and handed it to them.

"Brother," a little girl of three or four years old ran out of the house, and when she saw Shen Zhi and the others, she immediately hid behind the little beggar.

Shen Zhen took the purse from the little beggar and stuffed a handful of copper coins into the little beggar's hand. Shen Zhi took out two packs of cakes he had just bought and stuffed them into the little beggar's hand.

The two turned around and were about to leave when the little girl's voice came out, "Brother, my stomach hurts again."

The little beggar immediately said in panic: "Don't be afraid, I have money, I will take you to see a doctor."

Shen Zhi hurriedly turned around and observed the little girl. Seeing some white spots on the little girl's face, he roughly guessed what the little girl's illness was.

"Little sister, do you always have pain in your belly button?"

The little girl nodded timidly.

Shen Zhi took her pulse again and confirmed that there were roundworms in her body.

"How is it? Xiaozhi, is the child's condition serious?" Shen Zhen asked. Looking at the thin little girl, she thought of her past self. They were in this state when they were at Lao Qin's house.

"Having roundworms in the body is not a big deal. Just take some anthelmintic medicine." Shen Zhi said lightly.

The little boy was very surprised. His sister had indeed passed a long worm when defecating for a while. He had stolen money before and took his sister to the clinic for treatment, but the clinic could not find out the cause of his sister's abdominal pain. She took a lot of medicine, but it didn't work.

"Have you always lived here?" Shen Zhi asked.

The little boy nodded.

"Then I'll bring you the medicine tomorrow." Shen Zhi said and left with Shen Zhen.

The two went to the grocery store to get the carriage, and then bought twenty steaming buns from a roadside bun shop and asked the owner to wrap them in oil paper.

Then the two drove the carriage back, until halfway, Shen Zhi found that the little beggar was running behind with his sister on his back. Shen Zhi hurriedly stopped the carriage, but she found that the little beggar was also standing there. Shen Zhi waved to them, and the little beggar came over with his sister on his back.

"Why are you following us?" Shen Zhi jumped off the carriage, walked up to them and asked.

The little boy timidly replied, "You are the only one who can cure my sister, and I am afraid I will never find you again."

Shen Zhen jumped down from the carriage, "Xiao Zhi, why don't we take them home first? It's New Year's Day."

Shen Zhi asked: "Are you two the only ones here? Are there any adults around?"

The little boy shook his head and said, "My parents are dead, and my sister and I are the only ones left. Sister, I don't have any money, but I can work for you. Please save my sister."

"Get in the car first. I'll prescribe medicine for your sister when we get back."
