Chapter 870 The Little Nun Going Down the Mountain 12
Ah Cai smiled and handed the two thousand taels of silver left by Meng He to Xiao Jia, saying softly, "Xiao Shun wants to build a charity hall. This amount of silver should be enough to last for many years!"
Xiaojia looked at the banknote in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He then gave Ah Cai a thumbs-up and praised her, "Miss, you're really amazing! When you were talking to Meng He just now, you looked a bit like a charlatan!"
Upon hearing this, Ah Cai's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. However, she still rolled her eyes in a feigned humility and explained, "I just gave him a hint. Otherwise, how could he be so easily convinced by a little Taoist like me?"
"Okay, now that we have dealt with the business in Menghe, you should open the charity hall as soon as possible. Once everything is arranged, we will go directly to the next town." Acai said in a relaxed tone.
Xiaojia nodded quickly, then turned to greet his fellow secret guards and began preparing for the opening of the charity hall. Before long, all preparations for the charity hall were proceeding in an orderly manner.
At the same time, Xiao Shun was not idle either. He quickly took all the little kids from the land temple to ensure that the charity hall could open smoothly.
Surprisingly, all the procedures were handled extremely smoothly and at an astonishing speed.
Among them, the town mayor Wu Youcai played an indispensable role. He not only ran around and actively assisted in handling various procedures, but also provided many valuable opinions and suggestions on the construction of the charity hall.
In fact, Wu Youcai was so attentive not entirely out of his enthusiasm for the charity hall, but more because he wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to the young Taoist nun Qingxuan.
He secretly thought in his heart that if he could get a few amulets from Ah Cai, especially the precious jade amulet, it would surely keep him and his family safe and sound.
Finally, on an auspicious day, the first "Ci Xin Tang" was officially established.
On this day, almost all the people in Guangyuan Town came to see the charity hall and share in the joy. For a time, the front of the charity hall was crowded with people and it was very lively.
On that very day, a baby girl wrapped in swaddling clothes appeared at the door.
The baby girl looked very young, as if she had just been born.
When the town mayor, Wu Youcai, discovered this, he unhesitatingly carried her to Ah Cai and said angrily, "Master, please take a look at this. Whose family is so wicked? We've only just hung the plaque for 'Ci Xin Tang,' and they've already dumped such a tiny baby at the door!"
Ah Cai heard this and looked down at the baby. Her skin was wrinkled, just like a little old man, which made people feel pity.
Ah Cai stared at the baby girl, was silent for a while, then began to calculate with her head down.
It wasn't long before Ah Cai came to a conclusion. She looked up at the mayor and said slowly, "This baby girl belongs to the Li family in the north of the city. Mayor, you should go there in person. If they really don't want the child, have them sign a severance agreement. Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble in the future."
When everyone heard what Ah Cai said, they all understood what she meant.
It turned out that the Li family wanted "Ci Xin Tang" to raise their child for free. When the child grew up, they could take the child back, or even sell the girl again for the bride price.
Upon hearing this, Rong Mama was even more furious and started cursing, "What the hell! The abacus beads are about to jump into our faces!"
Immediately, Aunt Rong took Aunt Gu and followed the mayor to the Li family in the north of the city, and asked them to sign a severance letter, forbidding them to have any contact with the girl.
The old lady of the Li family immediately refused to accept this and sat on the ground crying and refusing to sign the letter of severance.
Li's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, didn't care about her confinement and rushed out of the house, snatched the baby from the arms of the mayor Wu Youcai and started crying loudly.
"My daughter! You heartless fellows, who allowed you to throw her away? She is my flesh and blood! You cruel people are completely devoid of conscience! This is your Li family's granddaughter, how could you treat her like this? You are so shameless!"
At this moment, Jiang's family members came to "send rice as a blessing". As soon as they entered the house, they heard the miserable wailing of their daughter.
Jiang's family members were extremely anxious and quickly pushed through the crowd to get in. When they found out what had happened, they were furious.
Especially Jiang's brothers and nephews, they were so angry that they rushed towards the Li family without saying a word.
They surrounded the Li family like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, and then beat them up with punches and kicks.
Jiang's mother was even more brave. She rode on the old woman of the Li family as if she was riding a horse, beating and scolding her.
Not only that, Mrs. Jiang also pulled out a few handfuls of the old woman's hair, and then slapped the old woman's face with her "Five Finger Mountain"-like palm.
Rong Mama on the side was not to be outdone. She quickly took out the needle she had prepared long ago from her bosom.
This needle is not an ordinary needle, but a hidden weapon specially made by Acai for Rong Mama.
For Rong Mama, without the needle, she is like a warrior without a weapon, but once she has the needle in her hand, she is the embodiment of justice!
Rong Mama picked up the needle and stabbed it into the body of the old woman from the Li family without hesitation.
Ah Cai's consciousness had been following them. When she saw Rong Mama taking out the needle and pricking the old woman, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch, "Oh my god, the classic scene is reappearing!"
After learning about the power of the young Taoist nun Qingxuan, the people of Guangyuan Town couldn't help but praise her.
"Look, the young nun not only paid for the construction of the 'Ci Xin Tang', but also used it to adopt homeless children. This is a great merit! But your Li family actually wants to send your own children there to be raised by the 'Ci Xin Tang'. Your family is not so poor that you can't even afford to eat. Do you have to do this?" An old lady spat at the old hag of the Li family with an angry face.
"That's right. Who is that little nun? She's a kind-hearted living Bodhisattva! You guys just can't stand seeing others doing well and you're always thinking about scheming against them. Now look what happened, the baby was brought back directly!" The aunt next to her also echoed with a look of disdain on her face.
"Oh, this poor girl has only been born for less than three days, and she has already suffered so much. What a sin!"
A soft-hearted young wife wiped her tears and looked at the girl who was brought back with heartache, but she stepped on the old lady of the Li family mercilessly.
"You still want Cixintang to raise your child for free? Why don't you, the Li family, take a look at yourselves? With your character, do you really deserve it? I think you are just crazy about taking advantage!"
An old man was smoking his pipe angrily, cursing non-stop. Suddenly, he stood up and kicked the Li family members several times, "Look at what you can do! Why don't you go to heaven?"
