Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 428 Before the Meeting

"Step back first, you scared the child." Song Chunlin coldly waved those people away, covered Liu Liu's ears with his hands, and asked them to move away.

The people in the Marquis' Mansion were easy to deal with, but the secret guards sent by the emperor were difficult to deal with, so Song Chunlin could only warn them with a stern face.

"You don't need to use the above tactics to pressure me. Your master said it himself. I just need to come back. The rest is up to me. I have more important things to do now. You'd better get out of the way."

According to what others said, they would definitely lose their heads, but the person in front of them was Song Chunlin, and the order received by the secret guards was just to wait for Song Chunlin to come back. The emperor did not say anything else, so while these people were struggling for a while, Song Chunlin had already brought Liu Liu into the city.

The two men rode their horses straight to the Charity Bureau. Songsong was working in the store at the time. There were only the manager uncle and a few uncles and aunts who helped in the Charity Bureau. When the manager uncle heard the sound of horse hooves, he guessed that it was Song Chunlin coming. He had been worried about the running out of fruit stock in the store these days. Song Chunlin was finally back, so he ran to the door excitedly, but found that it was not only Song Chunlin who came back, but he also picked up a little girl of five or six years old from the horse.

The steward had an answer in his mind, but he still asked Song Chunlin in disbelief: "Young Master Song, this child is..."

Song Chunlin smiled brightly at the steward, Uncle Mo: "Uncle Mo, look, who does this little girl look like?"

Liu Liu cooperated by raising her little face and blinking her big watery eyes at the steward. The steward actually saw some traces of relief on the little girl's face.

"Oh my, this child's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat like Songsong. Is this true?"

Song Chunlin smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true, but this child has suffered a lot and is now unable to speak. Does anyone know of a rejuvenation expert who could help check on her and see if she still has a chance of speaking?"

Hearing that the child was unable to speak, the steward couldn't help but feel a little more distressed. He gently stroked the little girl's sparse yellow hair with his big hands.

Finally, the steward said with some embarrassment, "To be honest, young master, I do know a few of these doctors. They are all the ones that the Charity Bureau often invited in the past. Their medical skills are more than enough to treat headaches, fevers, and other pediatric emergencies. From what you said, I think there is something wrong with this child's tongue. It's such a difficult and complicated disease, and those doctors are probably not able to understand it."

"Ah, what about her tongue? I've checked it out, and it's only the front part missing. She's young, so I'll see if it can heal a bit. If not... well, then I'll have to trouble you to find a ventriloquist to teach her and see if she can use the rest of the tongue to make sounds."

Now this was the only way. The steward uncle took Liu Liu's hand and said, "Young Master, do you want to take the child to a safe place first, or take her to Xingchengfang first?"

Song Chunlin pointed behind Shumo and said, "Let's settle her down first. When I brought her back just now, I bought her some clothes on the way. Please help her wash up. As for Songsong, I'll go and ask him to come back from work early."

After arranging everything, Song Chunlin bent down and told Liu Liu that he had to leave first and her brother would be back soon, so she should wait here obediently.

Liu Liu was obviously a little nervous. When she heard Song Chunlin say that he was leaving, she grabbed his sleeve tightly and refused to let go. Song Chunlin and Shumo comforted her for a long time before the little girl relaxed and let Shumo take her into the Charity Bureau.

Finally, one thing was accomplished. Song Chunlin wiped the sweat from his forehead. He still had to rush to Xingchengfang to inform Songsong. He heard that the inventory in the warehouse there was also beginning to run out, so Song Chunlin immediately rushed over without stopping.

The fresh fruits in Xingchengfang have been almost used up in the past few days, so the store has started to limit the purchase of cakes. Except for those that have been ordered long ago, the others are not made. Fortunately, the other cakes in the store are selling very well, and the business is still good every day. When Song Chunlin arrived, the store was still very busy.

The shop assistants were like seeing a savior when they saw Song Chunlin. Some regular customers also gathered around him and asked Song Chunlin when the fruit could be delivered. They had been craving that fruit for a long time.

Song Song on the side was speechless. How could these people talk nonsense? Their store had only not made sliced fruit cakes for less than five days. How could it be as long as they said?

Songsong sighed, pushed through the crowd and welcomed Song Chunlin in.

It was not until the two of them entered the backyard that Songsong began to complain to Song Chunlin.

"Young Master, you are finally back. You don't know that the days you were away were the most difficult for us..."

Song Chunlin stopped the other party from showing off, and pulled someone over to do the work instead of Song Song. Song Song was confused by his arrangement. He didn't understand why Song Chunlin did this. He thought Song Chunlin wanted him to do other work, but Song Chunlin smiled mysteriously.

"Good boy, you've worked hard. I'll give you a half-day off. Go back to the Salesian Bureau and have a good rest."

Song Song looked strange: "But Young Master Song, I moved to the back of the store a long time ago..."

Song Chunlin: “…”

Oh, what a mistake. I forgot that the older kids had all moved out. So he thought for a moment and said again: "Why don't you go back?"

Songsong didn't understand why Song Chunlin kept asking him to go back to the Charity Bureau, but since the other party said so, he might as well go back. It would be a good opportunity to bring some of the children's favorite milk tea and bread to the Charity Bureau. Oh, and also popcorn and the new sweet and sour potato chips. These two are now hot-selling items in the store. Basically, every customer with children will order one of them. They are cheap, delicious, and can entertain the children. It's such a good deal.

All employees of Xingchengfang have employee benefits, which were set by Song Chunlin himself. Each person has a certain amount of money every month and can take food home to eat in the store. Songsong usually brings food back to share with other younger children in the Charity Bureau.

But this time, Song Chunlin personally ordered a few pizzas that looked delicious and asked Songsong to pack them up and take them back. Songsong was a little hesitant.

"But if we take so much back, the kids will eat it and won't want to eat dinner. Then my uncle will scold us."

Song Chunlin assured him: "It's okay, just take it back, your uncle will never scold you."

"really?"

"It's true."

Song Song was still skeptical, but with Song Chunlin's assurance, he chose two pizzas with different flavors to take back. He thought that two were not too many, and at most he could just ask his uncle to cook some dinner in the evening.
