Chapter 398: Benefactor Must Live Long-1
"Thank you, Immortal." The little beggar bowed to Xihe again before gradually disappearing.
Xihe then began to sort out the memories in his mind. After reading them, he only had one thing to say: some people should not be saved even if they die in front of him.
This is another ancient plane, and the original owner was named Ruan Xinrou.
She was the only daughter in the Ruan family. Her mother's health was not suitable for having another child. Her father loved his wife and did not take a concubine.
The Ruan family has only one child, Ruan Xinrou, who was raised in the palm of their hands.
The couple are kind-hearted and would give some porridge and rice to beggars on the roadside.
Whenever there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, the Ruan family will immediately start setting up tents and serving porridge.
Their doorstep is not like that of other houses. If beggars pass by, they will drive them away. Whenever a beggar comes, they will not touch him and leave.
Because they are so soft-hearted, many beggars never linger or cause trouble at their doorsteps after receiving food.
That winter the weather turned cold very early. When Ruan's father woke up early, a servant came to report that a scholar had fainted at the door.
Ruan's father ordered people to carry him back home, ordered them to light a fire, and fed him some hot soup to save the scholar's life.
After the book recovered from its illness, it did some trivial things within its ability.
He told Ruan's father that he was a scholar who came to take the imperial examination. He came from a poor family and had to live frugally along the way.
After entering the city, I heard that the Ruan family was kind and generous, so I thought of coming here to ask for a bowl of porridge.
I didn't expect that my body was so weak that I actually fainted in front of someone's door.
The scholar spoke very humbly, and seeing his sincerity, Ruan's father gave him some money to allow him to take the exam.
He felt that it was not easy for a child from a poor family to reach this point, and he didn't want him to return in failure, otherwise his family would be so sad.
After taking the money from Ruan's father, the scholar knelt on the ground and thanked him repeatedly, and promised that if he could make a name for himself, he would repay the Ruan family well.
Mr. Ruan is a kind-hearted person. He helps others and never thinks about asking others to repay him.
He took the scholar's words to heart.
The scholar took the silver given by Ruan's father and went to the capital. However, due to his weak health, he fell ill when he arrived in the capital and missed the exam.
He rushed back to his hometown only after he had spent all the money given by Ruan's father.
I don’t know if God had to bring them together, but on his way back home, he met Ruan’s father who was coming back from collecting debts.
Ruan's father recognized him and after a conversation, he felt that his behavior was very good and was ready to give him some money.
The scholar made a request, saying that he wanted to work as a helper in the Ruan family's shop, so that he could study and earn money at the same time, because his family could no longer afford his tuition.
Seeing how ambitious he was, Ruan's father agreed to his request and let him be the manager of the cloth shop.
During this period, he never had any bad reputation.
However, Mr. Ruan has been very worried these years because his daughter has grown up and he is looking for a husband for her, but he has found that none of the candidates in half the city are suitable.
That day, Ruan's mother came to the store and came into contact with the scholar. She felt that he was a good person. After hearing what he said, she became interested and observed him secretly.
She felt that he was a promising man and worthy of her daughter.
Mr. Ruan was an open-minded man, so he directly asked the scholar whether he had a fiancée or whether he had gotten married at home.
The scholar smiled and shook his head and said no, because his family was poor and he was afraid of delaying others.
Father Ruan was very satisfied with his attitude and gradually regarded him as his confidant.
After some investigation, Ruan's father asked him directly if he was willing to be their son-in-law.
The news that the Ruan family was looking for a live-in son-in-law had already spread. The scholar did not refuse, nor did he feel humiliated, and he agreed directly.
For the sake of his daughter, Mr. Ruan would definitely investigate. He sent people to the scholar's hometown to check the situation. It was exactly the same as what he said, so he was completely relieved.
But he didn't know that some people are born with the ability to disguise themselves. No matter how carefully he checked, he couldn't pretend as well as the other person.
The scholar and Ruan Xinrou had been married for two years without having children. He always comforted Ruan Xinrou and told her not to worry, saying that he would not be like other men who had to have children.
If there is one, they will take it. If not, they will adopt other children from the Ruan family.
Perhaps it was God’s will that when the next scientific expedition was approaching, Ruan Xinrou became pregnant.
When the scholar left home, he told Ruan Xinrou to stay at home and take care of her pregnancy, and he would return soon if she passed the exam.
The family saw the scholar off and lived in anticipation every day.
When Ruan Xinrou was about to give birth, the scholar had not returned yet, and the Ruan couple knew that there was something wrong.
But I was afraid that my daughter would worry, so I didn't send anyone to check, but I just thought that there was no one else at home anyway.
If the child's father doesn't come back, then they can give birth to the child and raise it themselves. It's not like they can't afford it.
Ruan Xinrou felt something, her body was getting weaker day by day.
Mr. Ruan invited many famous doctors to visit his home, but they were unable to find the problem.
Ruan Xinrou had a very difficult delivery and she went through many dangers before giving birth to a pair of children.
When her children were three or four years old, Ruan Xinrou passed away.
The couple fell ill after their beloved daughter died.
To make matters worse, their house caught fire in the middle of the night, and the Ruan couple, along with their servants, all died in the flames.
When the fire broke out, many people saw it and ran to put out the fire.
Those beggars also tried their best to carry water to the Ruan family, but it was no use. The fire was too big and they couldn't rescue anyone.
Everyone sighed for the Ruan family. Every time the beggars begged for food, they would put some of it in front of the Ruan family’s door to commemorate them.
The original owner was a beggar since she was a child. She didn't know who she was. It was because of the kindness of the Ruan family that she could have enough food and clothing.
She would use the few cents she begged to buy some yellow paper and go to the ruins of the Ruan family to pay tribute to them.
It snowed heavily that year. The original owner had no warm clothes and no food to eat, so he froze to death in the snow.
Her dying wish was not to be born into a good family in her next life, but to help the Ruan family take revenge. A good family like them should not die inexplicably.
She hopes that the Ruan family will have a long and prosperous life and a smooth life.
"Master, this little girl is really grateful! She actually asked for such a precious opportunity for someone else."
"Yes, a beggar who received their kindness knows how to be grateful, but the beast who saved his life doesn't know that. Instead, it kills the family of its savior."
"Master, do you mean there's something wrong with that scholar?"
"It's obvious. How could it be such a coincidence? He fainted in front of the Ruan family's door before, and then he ran into Ruan's father. I'm afraid he did it on purpose!"
