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

Xiatian loves being hugged, no matter if it's his dad, mom, or his younger siblings. He thinks hugging is magical; it makes him feel at ease and makes unhappy things fade away.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's a small matter." Dong Xiaohuan patted his back and coaxed him softly.

Guan Xu's mouth was flat and he was about to cry, "Can someone help me hold it? I can't hold it anymore, the candied haws are going to fall."

Xia Chu had noticed it a long time ago and was wondering why he didn't put it down. It was not too late. Hearing the request for help, he hurried over to help take it, and went to the kitchen to get a clean dustpan and put it there, and covered it with a bamboo curtain.

Guan Xu's hands were red from being pinched by the bamboo sticks. Although the candied haws were not heavy, his hands had already started to hurt after holding five strings for so long. "It's all my fault. I wish I hadn't bought the candied haws."

"It's all because of those bad people. It has nothing to do with us. Come over here, Xiao Xu, give me a hug. Everything will be fine."

Dong Xiaohuan enjoyed coaxing the older children and the younger ones. These children were not given many opportunities and were very independent most of the time. Seeing that they had calmed down, she said, "Mom is going to the clinic. You two stay at home and behave well."

Xia Chu asked: "What are you going to the clinic for?"

Dong Xiaohuan touched her head and said, "Although they were the ones who robbed her first, they did hurt someone after all. I'll go and see her. I should also pay for some of the medical expenses."

She still had to pay for the medical expenses. After all, the robbery attempt was a failure, and Zhang Zhou's self-defense was excessive. She recalled some outrageous modern cases: a homeowner stabbed a burglar, causing serious injuries, and was sentenced to one year in prison. There were also cases of thieves being bitten by a dog and having to pay compensation for accidentally falling down the stairs...

Xia Tian felt a little unconvinced. Why should he pay the bad guys' medical expenses? But he still touched the wallet on his chest.

Seeing Xia Tian wanted to take the money again, Dong Xiaohuan stopped him with a helpless look, "Don't take the money. Can't you use your money to buy some food?"

"Mom, you can't go." Xia Chu expressed her analysis. "The man has just been injured and is in pain. His temper must be bad. If his family is here, they will definitely not listen to you saying that he stole the money first. If they get emotional, there is a high possibility of pushing and fighting. Mom is pregnant, so you'd better be careful. Wait until Dad comes back and let him go."

Dong Xiaohuan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. "Then wait until your father comes back."

A large area of Jiang Er's back was splashed with oil. Fortunately, it was not freshly boiled, otherwise his entire back would have been burned.

The doctor was sweating profusely just to peel his clothes off. After examining the wound, he applied medicine, but for the time being, he couldn't be moved, so he had to lie there.

Jiang Er had completely lost all his energy and lay weakly on the bed, unable to even shout.

"Brother, can I ask my sister-in-law to come over?" Wang San stepped forward and asked.

"Let her come. Do you know where those two guys live? Go and ask around. This matter is not over yet." Jiang Er half closed his eyes and wanted to say something harsh but the dense burning pain on his back made him feel like dying.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Wang San responded, pulling Liu Si out of the clinic and saying, "Go get my sister-in-law. I'll go find out where those two guys live. We can't just let it go after burning our eldest brother like this."

"Then shouldn't we first..." Liu Si mumbled, and before he could finish his words, Wang San slapped him in the face.

Wang San pointed at his nose and said, "Go quickly! Don't say anything else. Just say that big brother got burned! Do you hear me?"

"I understand." Liu Si responded with his neck shrunk.

The Wang family was actually relatively easy to find out about; after all, they had just moved in and were unfamiliar to everyone. Plus, they always brought their four children with them, so those little faces alone made them memorable to many people.

Wang San got the address and wanted to go back to see what his eldest brother would do. But then he thought, since he had already found the person, he might as well go and ask for some money first. If someone got burned, he'd have to pay for the medical expenses, right?

After making up his mind, Wang San knocked hard on the door of the Wang family's house. "Open the door, open the door."

The knock on the door was quick and forceful, and it was clear that the person coming was not friendly. Xia Chu grabbed Dong Xiaohuan who was about to open the door and said, "Mom, go back to your room and don't come out."

"How can that be? You kids... can't do that." Dong Xiaohuan disagreed, "Is it the family who got burned here? Let me go."

"Mom, just listen to me, nothing will happen." Xia Chu half coaxed and half persuaded her to go back to the room, "I'm just a little girl, what can he do to me? Besides, I have my big brother here, and at least I've learned from Dad for a while, so I won't be bullied. But you are different now, you can't get hurt."

Dong Xiaohuan stroked her belly. She had been looking forward to this child for so long, so she really had to be careful. However, she clapped her hands and said happily, "Why don't you just not open the door? Your dad will be back soon. Let him knock. He can't break the door."

While the two were still discussing in the house, Xia Tian had already gone to open the door alone. He clenched his fists, his eyes fierce, as if he had made up his mind, exactly the same way he had when he wanted to beat Wai Tou to death.

Wang San clapped his hands until they were sore, but no one came to open the door. He couldn't help but wonder: Isn't this the place?

Xia Tian flung the door open and immediately recognized Wang San as one of the people who had asked for money today. He walked out and blocked the door. "What's going on?"

Wang San was a little upset when he saw it was a child. He stretched his head to peek through the crack in the door, but the child slammed the door shut, nearly pinching his nose. He glared at the boy, "What's going on?! Where are your parents? Your brother scalded my eldest brother, and you won't give me an explanation?"

"What do you want?" Xia Tian looked up at him, his limbs tense. If he dared to come in, he would beat him!

Wang San pushed him aside and wanted to go into the house. "I can't explain it to you clearly. Call your parents out. I can go in too. Don't you have a mother?"

He just reached out to push the door open when Xia Tian kicked him down the stairs. Wang San covered his waist with one hand and pointed at Xia Tian with the other, "Oh, you little beast, you dare to hit me?!"

"There is no adult at home. Tell me what you have to say." Xia Tian stood at the door and said condescendingly.

The threshold of their house wasn't high, only three steps, and they weren't particularly strong in the summer. Wang San, after a moment's pain, climbed to his feet and threatened, "Do you believe I'll sue you? You threw boiling oil at me, and you're being beaten when you come to ask for justice. Then I'll arrest your entire family and put them in jail!"

Xia Tian was startled, a silent panic instantly overwhelming him. He didn't even remember that Wang Yong was a yamen runner. All he could think about was, "I'm solely responsible for this. I can't let them harm anyone else in my family." He looked at Wang San. If he disappeared, would no one go to the authorities to file a complaint?

"Who are you? What are you doing at my doorstep?" Wang Yong's voice was like a divine voice from outer space, instantly pulling Xia Tian back to his senses. Seeing his father's official uniform, he regained consciousness. "Dad!"

Wang San turned around and saw the official uniform and shuddered with fear, "This, this, this official is your father?"

"I'm his father, what's the matter?" Wang Yong's eyes were sharp, and he felt that Wang San was not a good person as soon as he saw him.

Xia Tian looked at Wang Yong's back. He was tall and strong, and could completely block him. For the first time, he felt like he had someone's support.
