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

Dong Xiaohuan filled some hot water and asked Wang Xiaocong to go in and wash his brother. She went to borrow some clothes from the next door because she had no children and didn't have any clothes for children at home.

Today was a close call. Xia Chu thought about Erwa's behavior and sat in the hall feeling indignant.

Dong Xiaohuan came in with the clothes and saw the little girl's puffed up face. She was so happy that she stepped forward and pinched her face, "Oh, why are you still angry?"

"Aunt." Xia Chu blushed. How could her temper become more and more uncontrollable? "I'm mad at him for still making such a fuss even though his bones were broken. My eldest brother at home is almost going crazy with worry."

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, they are all children." Dong Xiaohuan knocked on the door and asked Wang Xiaocong to bring the clothes in. She had been married for five years and there was no news. But she loved children very much. She always felt that the little hands and feet made people soft and happy. These children could be seen from their clothes that they had no parents. She advised them gently: "Go back and talk to them. You haven't eaten yet, right? My brother is waiting at home, so I won't leave any food for you. I made some pancakes with porridge in the evening. You can have them."

Xia Chu hurriedly stood up and said, "No need, Auntie! I've already troubled you so much today. I don't know how to repay you."

Dong Xiaohuan found his anxiety cute and teased him deliberately, "Do you think my cakes are not tasty because I look at you so fiercely?"

"Take it, it smells delicious. I can eat ten pancakes baked by your aunt at a time." Wang Yong came out after changing his clothes and said.

"You're the only one who talks too much." Huanniang touched Xiachu's face and found a piece of clean gauze to wrap the cake. Erwa had just changed his clothes and washed himself clean, and his face was chubby, which made Huanniang pinch him again and again.

Wang Yong watched from the side and felt a little sad.

"Okay, let's go. Don't let your brother wait anxiously." Dong Xiaohuan straightened Erwa's clothes and watched the three children walk away.

"Huan Niang, why not..." Wang Yong was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"I know what you want to say. I want to try again." Dong Xiaohuan smiled and turned back, straightening the man's collar. "Let's go eat. I'll make you some more pancakes."

Wang Yong frowned and sighed secretly.

Xia Chu calmed down and started to worry about Erwa's injury again. Seeing him holding his ribs and walking slowly, he went over to support him, "Brother, does it hurt?"

"It's okay." Erwa smiled at his sister, "You shouldn't have come to save me."

Xia Chu couldn't help wanting to hit him a few more times, "You still say that! I've made money! We can live a good life in the future! Ask Brother Xiao Cong."

Wang Xiaocong chimed in, "Yeah, Xiaoliu made quite a bit of money today, enough for medical treatment and food."

Erwa was half-believing and half-doubting. Xia Chu said dissatisfiedly, "But you're trying to commit suicide today! We still have to buy someone a set of clothes to return! Someone saved you, and you have to bring gifts to thank them for saving your life. This money is not enough! I have to go make money tomorrow. Just stay home and don't make trouble."

Erwa was stunned by her scolding and nodded blankly.

The three of them went to Miaoshoutang again, where Doctor Sun gave Erwa a severe lecture. The evening medicine was ready to drink, so after taking it, the three of them slowly walked back.

Not long after leaving the clinic, I ran into Da Wa, who was sweating profusely from running. He came up to me anxiously, but when he saw Er Wa, who had just washed himself clean, he didn't recognize him for a long time, "Er Wa! Where have you been?"

"I'm sorry, big brother." Erwa was scolded repeatedly and became depressed.

The eldest child's worries finally settled down. Seeing his brother's pitiful look, he couldn't bear to say anything harsh. He just said seriously, "Don't do that next time! You're driving me crazy!"

Xia Chu and the other two didn't mention Erwa jumping into the river. When they returned to the shack, Xiaowu was still crying as he sat at the door. He kept mumbling that he shouldn't have left and blamed himself for not keeping an eye on his second brother.

Erwa felt even more guilty after hearing this. He had always felt that life was meaningless and too tiring. But at this moment, he finally understood that he was not alone. He had brothers, sisters, and brothers. Everyone was worried about him and couldn't bear to leave him. He didn't deserve it.

Wang Xiaocong was so tired after running around that he said goodbye and went back home.

The four siblings ate their cold steamed buns, and Xiachu went to the Wang family to divide the money. Three hundred and sixty wen were given in the morning, and a little more in the afternoon, totaling four hundred and seven wen. Since the Wang family only ate three buns, they got one extra wen, for a total of three hundred and eighty-four. After deducting the medical expenses, Xiachu was left with one hundred and eighty-three.

For fear that the money would make noise when it jarred against her bosom, Grandma Wang helped her string the money together and then wrapped it tightly with a cloth strip.

Xia Chu had just walked out, still worried about running into the man from the daytime. Unexpectedly, Da Wa was standing at the door waiting for her. She trotted back and quietly took out the money to show Da Wa. Da Wa had never seen so much money before, and his eyes almost popped out. He almost didn't recognize his sister.

"Brother, go back to sleep!" The four siblings snuggled together, but in the middle of the night, Erwa started to feel hot all over.

Xia Chu guessed that it was because he fell into the water during the day, but the clinic was closed now, so he could only endure it on his own.

She undressed Erwa to help dissipate the heat and reduce his fever, then put her hands in a pitcher of water to cool them down, and after a while she placed them on Erwa's forehead.

Da Wa and Xiao Wu also tried to make it. After tossing and turning all night, the fever was finally gone. Da Wa ate the cake given by the aunt yesterday and went to the clinic to get the medicine for Er Wa.

Erwa had a fever all night and was groggy. He ate a few bites and then refused to eat. He drank the medicine, lay down and fell asleep.

Xia Chu and Da Wa were preparing to go out to sell flowers, and they gave Xiao Wu a few instructions. Xiao Wu raised his finger and swore that he would not leave his second brother today.

Erwa scratched his cheek, feeling a little embarrassed.

Xia Chu relied on her beauty to be successful in everything. During the lunch break, she specially left a bouquet of flowers and told Da Wa about Er Wa's suicide by jumping into the river.

Big Baby was angry and distressed, "Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

Xia Chu explained, "Too much happened yesterday, and my second brother was tired. But the uncle and aunt who saved us yesterday were very kind. It's hard to return the clothes that Erwa has worn, so I thought of giving them a piece of cheap cloth. I'll also bring some other things and go to thank them properly."

The eldest child frowned, looking distressed. "How much will that cost? Your voice has been hoarse these past two days, and you haven't had a chance to rest all day. The second child is really... too willful!"

Xia Chu shook his head. Things had come to this point and there was no way to escape.

The eldest felt sorry for his sister, "We are just beggars. It doesn't matter if we don't pay it back. Keep the money and save it to buy yourself some clothes."

Xia Chu said sternly, "No, big brother. If we don't have it, forget it. But we do. Others won't say anything about saving our lives, but we must live up to our conscience."

Big Brother couldn't convince her, but he still looked unwilling.

Xia Chu advised: "Brother, we can't wear new clothes, at least not now. Otherwise it will be too conspicuous. How can four children afford to wear new clothes? Let's save some money and rent a yard in the future. Then we can wear whatever we want."

"Okay." The eldest child compromised, secretly cursing the second child in his heart, thinking how difficult it was for his younger sister to earn some money.

The shopkeeper, a chubby man, took a second look at the two beggars as they entered. The children were raggedly dressed, but their faces were clean and adorable. He smiled and asked, "Are you hungry?"
