How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?
Chapter 44 I'm Just Playing with Her
No one has decided to buy the house yet, so even though they are worried about Shi Xiaoshan, they have no choice but to continue living there.
Dong Xiaohuan felt that as long as he saw Shi Xiaoshan wake up a little, he, a child, could not do anything.
During the day, she worked on her own business at the stall as usual, and Xia Chu followed to collect the money. Unexpectedly, an acquaintance who had not been seen for a long time came, "Grandma Wang!"
"Hey, Xiaoliu, you're getting prettier and prettier." Ever since Grandma Wang sold her flowers, she'd been thinking about what to do next. But she had no other good ideas, so Wang Xiaocong brought up Xia Chu's suggestion: buy a house in a nearby village and settle down there, and figure things out later. They couldn't come up with the money for the land for now, but buying a shabby house nobody in the village wanted was no problem.
They came here this time for this matter.
"I know you, Auntie. Come in and sit down." Dong Xiaohuan called out.
Grandma Wang shook her head and refused. "No, no, we'll just say a few words and then leave. We have things to do later."
"Mom, I'll be gone for a while." Xia Chu said to Dong Xiaohuan, and went to the river with Grandma Wang.
Xia Tian and others had known Grandma Wang for a longer time, so they went over to talk to her.
"I came here this time to say goodbye to you." Grandma Wang touched Xia Chu's head, "We decided to try the idea you gave me before."
Xia Chu has been busy making money and doing business recently, and she didn’t think of it for a moment, “What’s the idea?”
"It's about finding a village to buy a house and settle down." Grandma Wang looked at Xia Tian and the others again. "What about you three? Why don't you come with me? The village may not be as wealthy as the city, but at least you can have a home."
Xia Tian glanced back at Dong Xiaohuan, and said to Grandma Wang with a smile, "Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are so kind. They want to register us all with their household registration. We will have a family in the future."
Grandma Wang was happy for them when she heard this, "That's great!"
When Wang Xiaocong looked at Xia Chu, he knew that she would definitely get out of her current predicament.
Wang Dali didn't understand what they were saying and stared at the river in a daze.
"Yes, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are so kind." Zhang Zhou pursed his lips, thinking back to the time when he jumped into the river. At that time, he had no idea that he just wanted to die, but later it seemed like he had luck and things would get better and better.
"Grandma Wang, where can we find you in the future?" Guan Xu asked.
"We don't know yet. We don't know where we will end up." Grandma Wang was a little worried about this choice. What if there was no village willing to accept them?
Xia Chu pondered for a moment, "If you're not in a hurry, let me ask Dad. The people in the county office always know more. Let's ask around and see which village has good people and a fair and kind village chief. Then we'll have more confidence when we go there."
"Isn't this too much trouble?" This is naturally better, but Grandma Wang is a little worried that it will cause trouble and make the Wang family dislike Xia Chu, so "Let's not do it."
This shouldn't be a big deal. After all, they're colleagues. Giving a little gift and asking around isn't a secret. If it were someone else, Xia Chu might not care, but Grandma Wang was struggling so hard back then, and she always sent them food. She couldn't ignore it, so she had to trouble her father. "I'll ask, Grandma Wang, don't worry. If it's not convenient, I'll come back and tell you. It won't be too late for you to leave then."
At this point, Grandma Wang no longer refused, "Thank you for your help. I was just saying goodbye."
Xia Chu smiled and said, "Grandma Wang, we have been through hardships together, so let's not talk about that."
Grandma Wang laughed. "Look at what you're saying! You don't sound like a five or six-year-old. I wonder what kind of family could raise a child like you." But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful. She was bringing up something irrelevant. Didn't families of all kinds eventually lose their children? She felt it was wrong, though. She wanted to ask, but what if her family had been in trouble?
When Da Wa brought her back, he'd asked about it, but she simply said she didn't remember. She didn't know if she'd been kidnapped or abandoned. She didn't know where her home was, or the names of her family members. She'd just shake her head when asked about their names.
Xia Chuxin said that the child was probably gone, otherwise how could she have traveled through time? She skipped the topic and said, "Then I'll talk to my father when he comes back."
"Okay." Grandma Wang nodded, and when she saw that they were busy over there, she said goodbye.
Xia Tian and his friends also noticed that many people came to the stall, so they ran back to help.
Xia Chu slowed down by two steps. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone rushing towards her. Before she could react, someone grabbed her arm and dragged her backwards. She was caught off guard and couldn't even stand, so she fell to the ground. She looked up and saw Shi Xiaoshan, who angrily shouted, "What are you doing?"
Shi Xiaoshan smiled and threw the man into the river with force, "Go to hell."
"Ah! Big Brother!!!" In her panic, Xia Chu only managed to call out to Xia Tian before she was already submerged. The water, pouring in from all sides, cut off the air and impeded her limbs. But her mind remained remarkably calm. "I should hold my breath and relax my limbs to float up now."
Xia Tian turned around after hearing the sound and watched his sister fall into the river with a splash. Without any thoughts in his mind, he rushed over and jumped into the river.
"Ah! Oh my God! Help! Help! Xiaochu! Xiaochu!" Dong Xiaohuan was a little slow and ran towards the river while calling for help.
Zhang Zhou and Guan Xu also rushed over, but neither of them could swim.
Even in the summer, he couldn't do it. But after diving into the water and flopping around a few times, he unexpectedly learned the doggy style without any instruction. He tilted his head back and slid his limbs, trying to get closer to his sister.
Xia Chu closed her eyes and stretched her limbs, and she actually floated up.
There was another "splash" and a man who could swim jumped down and dragged both children ashore.
Fortunately, both of them only choked on a few mouthfuls of water and were still conscious. Dong Xiaohuan took them back to the house to change clothes. Zhang Zhou and Guan Xu guarded the stall to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.
Shi Xiaoshan curled his lips and walked home. It was a pity that he didn't drown the dead girl.
Xia Tian walked to the door and turned back, pointing at Shi Xiaoshan, "It's that guy! The one who wanted to splash water yesterday! He threw my sister into the river! I saw it!"
His voice was loud and excited, and everyone who had not yet dispersed heard it and looked at Shi Xiaoshan. Shi Xiaoshan paused, blinked his eyes and said innocently: "I was just playing with her."
Dong Xiaohuan's chest kept heaving. She was still frightened by the scene just now and couldn't calm down. She said in a stern tone: "Throwing people into the water for fun?"
"No?" Shi Xiaoshan tilted his head and smiled. His undeveloped facial features should have been cute, but now they looked eerie and terrifying.
"How can you play like this? Who will be responsible if you drown?"
"That's right, Xiaoshan, you're not a kid anymore, why are you still so ignorant?"
"Forget it, the child is too naughty."
"That's too much. The little girl was only a little girl. She would have drowned if no one was watching her."
"Isn't it okay? What else can I do?"
Passersby were talking about Shi Xiaoshan being too naughty and ignorant. Few people really blamed him, after all, he was still a child. No one would have thought that a child could have such great malice towards another child, just thinking it was just mischief.
