How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Wang Yong frowned, "Why are you talking halfway?"

Dong Xiaohuan glanced at him and said, "I was thinking, why don't we buy a big yard, take those three brothers with us, and just sell the house here."

"This..." Wang Yong looked at his wife hesitantly, "Can you take care of so many children?"

"Look at the four of them, which one needs someone to take care of it?" With this girl's constant stream of ideas, it was unclear who was taking care of whom. She took out the two days' earnings and put them on the table. "This is the money I made from Xiaochu's idea. I can't tell who benefited more at the moment."

Wang Yong picked up the purse, weighed it, and took a look at it in disbelief. "Is this two days' profit?"

"That's right." Dong Xiaohuan smiled and shook her head. "I thought she was just being naughty, so I just let her play for a bit, as long as I didn't lose too much. I didn't expect that I would actually make a profit. On the day of the dragon boat race, she even gave me ten taels of silver. Even though it seemed like I spent a lot before, it's only been a few days and she's already paid it all back."

Seeing her husband silent for a long while, she continued, "I don't think these kids will be bad in the future. They just lack a place to stay and a place to register. In time, they might be able to handle this on their own. If we help them, it will be a good deed and we can also build good relationships. Besides, Xiaochu is a smart child. She brought this up today. I'm afraid you might have let the cat out of the bag last night and let her know how difficult it is for us."

"It's not that I don't want to, I'm just worried you'll get tired looking after so many children. Judging from their behavior, they don't need me to take care of everything. I saw Xia Tian get hurt for you." Wang Yong slammed the table. "Okay, I'll take one, or four. With three boys at home, I don't have to worry about you being bullied."

Dong Xiaohuan pouted and said to him, "I'm staying at home peacefully, who would bully me? And with my personality, who can bully me?"

Wang Yong shook his head and said nothing. He thought she was just tough on the outside, but soft-hearted. She was worried about making others feel bad when she said something harsh. Otherwise, why would he have been irritated by Shi Niangzi for so many years, and still care about her young child and her hard life? "Then I'll ask around. If this business is possible, I'll find a yard with a shop in front."

Dong Xiaohuan disagreed. "We might not have enough money to buy a yard with a shop. It would be better to buy a bigger yard and set up a stall. If that doesn't work, renting a shop is also cheaper."

"I understand." Wang Yong nodded.

The two of them had finished packing and were about to go to bed when they heard Shi Niangzi's screams and pleas for mercy, along with the cries of two children from next door. Dong Xiaohuan sighed, but didn't even think about trying to persuade her. Even if she was soft-hearted, she wasn't made of clay. Even clay figures have some temper. But pity the two children; they must be so frightened right now.

"Go to sleep." Wang Yong got up, closed the window, held her in his arms and covered her ears. He had no sympathy for Shi Niangzi at all.

Finding an apartment takes time, and finding one that satisfies your needs is pure luck. Wang Yong was worried he wouldn't find one soon, so he threatened Lady Shi. Last night, Lady Shi had been arguing for half an hour before someone finally gave up and knocked on the door to try to dissuade her. Whether they were genuinely upset or just worried about the noise was unclear.

Dong Xiaohuan and her daughter set up their pancake stall as usual. Their sausages were made entirely of meat and only cost three cents each, much more affordable than the meat buns. They attracted many repeat customers. As soon as the stall opened, many people gathered around.

In the summer, the three brothers had no flowers to sell, so they came to visit their sister. They found a group of people gathered there, shouting for a cake.

"When did a pancake seller appear here?" Zhang Zhou stood on tiptoe, but couldn't see the stall owner.

"With so many people waiting to eat it, it must be delicious, right?" Guan Xu licked his lips. "Brother, can we buy one to try?"

"Didn't you just eat some steamed buns?" Xia Tian looked at him with amusement. Perhaps because he was extremely hungry, or perhaps because he was still growing taller, Xiao Wu's stomach was like a bottomless pit, never full. No matter how much he ate, he always had more.

"I smell the aroma of meat, brother, it's a meat pie! We haven't eaten meat for a long time, let's buy one and share it among the three of us, okay?" Guan Xu drooped his eyebrows, like a puppy begging for food.

"Go buy one. If it's delicious, buy one for my sister and one for Aunt Wang," Xia Tian said, and he started to pay. A meat bun costs two cents, and a bigger meat pie requires more oil, so it should be four cents at most, right? He counted out four cents and gave them to Guan Xu.

Guan Xu happily went with the money in his hand. He was small and agile, and he slipped through the gap in the crowd in a few seconds. Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw his sister. "Xiao Liu!"

"Fifth brother! You guys came to see me?" Xia Chu was very happy to see Guan Xu, but at the moment she didn't have time to chat. "Fifth brother, wait a moment, I'm a little busy now."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work." Guan Xu nodded and looked at Dong Xiaohuan. She was so busy that she was sweating profusely and didn't notice his arrival at all.

She scooped a spoonful of batter and used a small board to scrape it across the round pan, forming a neat, round pancake. The pancake solidified in an instant, and she flipped it neatly over and cracked an egg onto it. The small board cracked the egg and evenly spread it across the pancake. A pinch of sesame seeds was sprinkled on top, and then a brown sauce was applied. Lettuce and something browned and unidentified were rolled into the pancake, forming a small cylinder.

It didn’t smell very good, but the person who got the cake looked very satisfied when eating it, so it was obvious that the cake tasted good.

The next request was for ham sausage, which was a round thing like a sausage. It was cut in half and placed under the pancake to heat. It made a sizzling sound and emitted a meaty aroma.

Guan Xu looked at it for a long time. The round thing must be the most delicious. And he saw that this cake could not be bought with four cents. He returned to his eldest brother and said, "It's Aunt Wang and Xiaoliu who are setting up a stall. They are selling some kind of rolled cake. It doesn't smell good, but it seems delicious."

"Is that Xiaoliu?" Xia Tian looked up and said, "With so many people here, can you come over? Let's go and help."

"Brother, Xiaowu and I will go. Your arm is still injured, so don't come over and squeeze us." Zhang Zhou stopped him.

Xia Tian didn't try to be stubborn and nodded, "Okay, then go ahead."

Zhang Zhou and Guan Xu went over and found there wasn't much they could do to help. The pancakes could only be made by one person, and there weren't any extra pancakes. They were charged for each pancake. The two of them wandered around in the back, only able to help keep an eye on the cash box to prevent anyone from taking advantage and stealing.

Fortunately, business was booming, and the batter was soon sold out. When the crowd dispersed, Dong Xiaohuan wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and noticed her daughter's forehead was also covered in sweat. She pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve and was about to wipe it for her. After a moment's thought, she put it under her nose and sniffed. Sure enough, it smelled like cooking fumes. She smiled and put it back, "Come on, this handkerchief is already stained with the smell. Go home and wash your face."

They couldn't help with selling the pancakes, but it was different with closing the stall. Zhang Zhou and Guan Xu hurried forward to help clean up.

"Hey, Zhang Zhou and Guan Xu are here. Where's your eldest brother?" Dong Xiaohuan looked up and saw Xia Tian across from him. She waved at him, "Xia Tian, come quickly."

"The flowers are sold out and we have nothing to do, so we wanted to take a break for two days and came over to take a look," Zhang Zhou explained.

This time, Xia Tian remembered his sister's words and decided not to visit the house empty-handed, so he specially bought a piece of meat to bring with him.
