How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?
Chapter 37 Li Xi comes again
During the day, when she was emotionally excited, she agreed to it. But when Dong Xiaohuan counted her savings, she found that it was not going to work out. She only had a little over a hundred taels on hand. If they didn't move, the three of them could live comfortably. If they really did move, the difference would be too great. "Brother Yong, let's not move."
Wang Yong took a look and said directly: "It's enough to sell this side."
Dong Xiaohuan disagreed. "What if I can't find a place to live after selling it? Will I have to live on the streets?"
"Let's rent a place for a while. It's okay. I'll find a way." Wang Yong thought about the pearl. "Did you sell it? How much silver did you get?"
"It's only one thousand and one," Dong Xiaohuan glared at him, "We can't touch this money."
"Can't I borrow it first?" Wang Yong said, "I'll pay it back after I sell the house."
"No." Dong Xiaohuan turned around and put away the money. "This is the foundation of those children's household. We can't touch it."
Then I'll go talk to my daughter!
Wang Yong walked to Xia Chu's room and found himself at a loss for words. He was already a grown man, wouldn't it be too embarrassing to ask his daughter for money? For his wife! Nothing was shameful!
Xia Chu was just about to go to bed when she heard some noise at the door, someone moving back and forth. She sat up and asked, "Who's outside? Dad?"
"Hey, it's me." Wang Yong just agreed when he heard his wife's shout from behind: "Wang Yong! Come back here!"
"Your mother told me, Xiaochu, go to bed early." Wang Yong scratched his head and went back to his room.
Xia Chu was completely bewildered by this whole situation. What secrets were she hiding from me? She glanced at the door and quietly got up to eavesdrop.
"Hey, I just want to see if my daughter is asleep?"
"If you don't want to move, then don't. This place is pretty good too."
"Bullshit, don't think I don't know how those women plot against you."
“…Not everyone is like this.”
"That's not a lot."
"It's okay, it goes in one ear and out the other."
"Who cried in the middle of the night and wet their pillow?"
"..."
"I'm not going to ask Xiaochu, I'll find someone else to borrow. We can't live here any more. Who knows what Li Xi will do next time? After what happened yesterday, people will say to you next time... that... no, you have to move."
"I've lived in this house for so many years, I can't bear to leave it."
"As for Li Xi, I'm going to arrest her and teach her a lesson for a few days. And that idiot next door..."
"That won't do! If you arrest Li Xi, how will my brother live his life in the future? What about Dongdong?"
"You're just too soft-hearted. Every time you hold back, they become more and more rampant! If it were me, I'd beat them up first, regardless of whether they're male or female. Damn it, they gossip about me behind my back every day!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry...it's all my fault, it's all my fault."
"Either move out, or I'll give them a good beating!"
Xia Chu had understood. Dad wanted to move to a new place, away from these people, so Mom wouldn't be criticized. However, the family didn't have enough money, so they had to sell the house to move. That's why Wang Yong wanted to ask her for the money. Actually, the money was all with Dong Xiaohuan, so if they really wanted to move it, Xia Chu would be completely helpless.
She is just a child. Who would believe her if she went out and said she had more than a thousand taels of silver?
Actually, there might be a better way. Couldn't we just let Xia live in this house and use the pearl money to buy a house? I just don't know how much this house is worth. If it's cheap, it's fine. If it's expensive, it would be like taking advantage.
The sound of talking in the room died down. Xia Chu looked up and saw the entangled figures at the window. She ran back to her room with a red face.
As usual, Dong Xiaohuan set up his stall in the morning. He prepared more batter than the day before and added more ham sausage, so his profit was much higher than yesterday.
After packing up her stall, Dong Xiaohuan went to the river to wash clothes. The neighbors who usually greeted her now looked at her strangely and kept their distance. Dong Xiaohuan felt a little upset, and when she returned home and saw Li Xi, she became even more annoyed and pretended not to see her and went into the house.
Li Xi stretched out her hand to block the door and squeezed in. She knelt down with a plop and hugged her legs. Her red and swollen eyes showed pleading, "Sister, I was wrong. Please talk to Xiao Mao and tell him not to divorce me. Dongdong is so young and he can't be without a mother."
It seemed that Xiao Mao was really angry this time. Dong Xiaohuan was also angry and said in a stiff tone: "As a married woman, I have no say in your affairs."
"Let my mother go!" Xia Chu rushed forward and pushed Li Xi away. This woman deliberately called a group of people to humiliate Dong Xiaohuan in public yesterday and stepped on her face. She deserved what happened today!
Li Xi fell to the ground, suddenly annoyed, and was about to curse: "You..."
Before she could finish her words, Dong Xiaohuan interrupted her harshly: "Shut up and go back to your own house and make a scene!"
Li Xi choked, then remembered her purpose and put on a pitiful expression. However, her anger had not subsided, and she looked a little ferocious. "Sister, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time. I didn't know the pearl was yours. I thought Xiaomao bought it for me, but he never gave it to me. When I came back from the street yesterday, the pearl was gone. I thought he had a mistress... I was blinded by greed and shouldn't have come here to make trouble. Sister, forgive me this time, I promise I won't do it again next time."
Xia Chu pulled Dong Xiaohuan aside, put her hands on her hips and said, "Are you talking like a human being? Then when you found out she wasn't your mistress, you deliberately made a scene! You called so many people, all our neighbors, and you even deliberately said all sorts of nonsense to slander my mother! You did it on purpose!"
Her voice was crisp and childish, and she spoke word by word without any momentum at all. It made people want to hug her in their arms and give her a big kiss.
Dong Xiaohuan's anger was mostly dissipated by her righteous words. She bit her lip and held back her laughter. This girl was really worth loving.
Li Xi, however, didn't have such thoughts. She just felt that this damned girl was extremely hateful and made her want to hit her hard. "What's a child butting in when adults are talking?"
"You should go back quickly. I won't take care of this matter." Dong Xiaohuan said in annoyance.
"Sister, please. Don't look at me, but look at Dongdong. He is your nephew, and you will make him smash pots in the future. If he knew that he lost his mother because of you, aren't you afraid that he would hate you?" Li Xi probably used the only bit of her brain here, but unfortunately her words backfired.
Isn't this a naked threat? Dong Xiaohuan was so angry that her head was dizzy. "Dongdong is unlucky to have a mother like you. Hurry up and leave! You'll be in trouble when Brother Yong comes back later!"
Hearing that Wang Yong was coming back soon, Li Xi looked back in fear. She wasn't sure when Wang Yong would come back, but she didn't want to face him either. "Sister, think about it again. Aren't you afraid that Dongdong will hate you? He's so young, how pitiful he must be without a mother."
"Hurry up and go!" Xia Chu picked up the broom and threw dirt on Li Xi's face.
"Ah!" Li Xi covered his eyes and fanned the dust in front of him, cursing: "You little bitch!"
"Are you going to leave or not? Are you going to leave or not?" Xia Chu swept over another pile of dirt, "Hurry up and leave!"
Li Xi could only get up and back away, all the way to the door. Just as he was about to start cursing, a voice came from behind him: "What are you doing here again?"
