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

When Xia Chu returned home, she found no one was home. Dong Xiaohuan must have gone to the shop, and Xia Tian had returned to the martial arts gym.

At dinner that night, Dong Xiaohuan started talking about how unreliable today's matchmakers were. She'd met several, and each one of them exaggerated their words.

Two days later, when everyone was about to leave, Li Xi showed up. Dong Xiaohuan was annoyed the moment she saw her and asked in a bad tone, "Why are you here so early in the morning? What's going on?"

Li Xi had long been accustomed to this, so he pulled the girl behind him and said, "This is my sister-in-law's little sister, her name is Zhenniang."

Wu Zhenzhen looked up timidly and saw that there wasn't an ugly man in the family. Each man had his own unique style, and she was immediately delighted. Sister Xi had come home several times to tell her about this, but no one believed her. Today, it was only because her mother saw the chicken Li Xi brought that she let her out. She hadn't expected it to be true. Even in Lin'an Prefecture, they had such a large courtyard. Their family must be very wealthy. Furthermore, the family was very good-looking, especially the tallest one, with his handsome features and upright figure. She fell in love with him at first sight.

"So what's the matter?" Dong Xiaohuan didn't think about it at all.

Li Xi couldn't say it in front of everyone, so he pulled Dong Xiaohuan aside and said, "Isn't my sister's eldest son looking for someone? Zhenniang has been the most beautiful girl in the village since she was a child. Isn't she a perfect match for your Xia Tian?"

She looked pretty, but with Li Xi's character, who would dare ask her for an introduction? And who would just send a girl directly to the man's house? Dong Xiaohuan despised Li Xi's behavior even more. Finding a daughter-in-law wasn't just about looks; character was even more important. Li Xi was pretty once, too, but look at how she's living now.

"I've found it. You should take it back." Dong Xiaohuan casually made an excuse to refuse. Looking back at Zhenniang staring at Xia Tian, she couldn't help but frowned. "Tian'er, it will be too late if we don't leave now. Hurry up and go."

"Yes, Mom and Dad, I'm going out." Xia Tian didn't even look at Zhen Niang and walked away.

"Hey, Xia Tian, don't go." Li Xi stamped her feet, but Xia Tian ignored her. She could only pull Dong Xiaohuan, "Sister, outside introductions are not as good as our own family. I'm afraid that the matchmaker doesn't tell the truth. I have seen Zhen Niang grow up."

Dong Xiaohuan almost wanted to spit in her face. What do you mean by "I've seen her since she was a child"? She's your sister-in-law's daughter, not your sister. How did you see her when she was a child? "No, you go back first. We're all in a hurry to go out."

Zhang Zhou also left with his two younger brothers. They couldn't be late for the academy. Wang Yong glanced at Li Xi and decided to leave. They still had two dogs at home, so he didn't think she would cause any trouble. But he was still worried and told Xia Chu, "Xiao Chu, watch out."

"I understand, Dad. You can go to the government office." Xia Chu nodded and gave Xiao An a light kick. Xiao An immediately started to cry out. He was a chatterbox to begin with, and even on normal days, he would cry out for a long time. But now that he had been kicked for no reason, he was so upset that he kept crying out.

People who knew it knew it was acting like a spoiled child, but Li Xi and Wu Zhenzhen didn't. When they heard the dog suddenly bark, they screamed in fear and hid outside the door.

Dong Xiaohuan chuckled and left in the chaos.

Xia Chu walked to the door, and Xiao An followed behind her, continuing to yell and even biting her skirt.

Wu Zhenzhen was so frightened that she could no longer stand and ran away.

Li Xi wanted to say a few words to Xia Chu, but Da'an leaned over and started shouting.

"Xia Chu, you...you...Zhen Niang!" Li Xi weighed the pros and cons and decided to chase after Zhen Niang.

Xia Chu closed the door behind him, but Xiao An was still howling. Da An used his claws to paw at his younger brother, not sure if it was to comfort him or teach him a lesson. "Alright, alright, I'll give you meat for lunch, so stop howling."

Xiao An's ears moved, and he bumped Xia Chu twice with his head, which meant he forgave her.

But Li Xi was not the type to give up easily. After catching up with Zhenniang, he took her to see the Wang family's braised meat shop. This shop had been bought a long time ago, and the shop next door had also been bought. It looked very large and the business was very good.

However, many people said it was too far from home and it was not easy to buy it. Dong Xiaomao heard this so often that he became interested. He found a place near the west of the city, rented a shop, and opened another one.

Dong Xiaomao was the main person in charge of that shop, and all the profits were given to him. Dong Xiaohuan took over the old shop, and the brother and sister each took charge of the shop. When there was something going on, they could even take over for each other.

Wu Zhenzhen was even more moved when she saw the huge shop in front of her. Xia Tian was so handsome, and his family had such a big shop. Although he had more brothers, his younger brother was also a scholar! Isn't this her ideal in-law family? "Sister Xi, but I think Mrs. Dong doesn't seem to be very willing."

"How could that be? She said she'd found someone else, but I haven't heard they've settled down. I guess she just didn't want to break her promise. With such a good in-law family, you have to seize the opportunity yourself, Zhenniang." Li Xi was desperate to make this couple a success. If it worked out, she would be the matchmaker. Not only would both families receive gifts, but her sister-in-law and Dong Xiaohuan would also have to thank her. "Our Zhenniang is so beautiful, I don't believe Xia Tian didn't have any ideas."

Wu Zhenzhen wasn't as optimistic as she was. "I think that girl Xia Tian is much prettier than me. If he sees her every day, he might not think I'm that pretty, right?"

"So what?" Li Xi knew Xia Tian and Xia Chu weren't related by blood, but they were registered as such. She also heard that Xia Chu wasn't good at anything, wasn't good at needlework, wasn't a very good cook, and all she had was a pretty face. "Zhen Niang, you're good at needlework, so why don't you embroider a purse and I'll send it to you."

"Well, how can that be possible?" Wu Zhenzhen frowned. "Wouldn't that be considered a private transaction?"

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, and Xia Tian doesn't tell you either, who will know?" Li Xi felt that this was no big deal. As long as it worked, who cared whether it was acceptable or not.

Wu Zhenzhen still felt something was wrong, but when she thought of that tall figure, she became moved again.

Seeing her clearly wavering, Li Xi continued to persuade her, "Xia Tian is filial, honest, and obedient. The martial arts school director is particularly fond of him, and his monthly salary is quite good. Just think about his good conditions, how many women would line up for him. It means that our relatives can come to him, isn't this the same as the saying that Jinshuilou gets the moon first?"

Wu Zhenzhen twisted the handkerchief in her hand and gritted her teeth, "I'll go back and embroider it!"

"Isn't that good?" Li Xile patted her happily and went back into the shop. "Sister, my parents said they want to eat this braised chicken. Can you give me one?"

Dong Xiaohuan knew she wanted to eat it, but she was too lazy to ask for it. She asked someone to pack a braised chicken and picked up two pig ears, which her parents loved.

Li Xi was satisfied and took Wu Zhenzhen back home. Wu Zhenzhen smelled the fragrance and saw that there were two packs. She thought she would get one pack. But Li Xi didn't even mention it, and she was immediately unhappy.

Li Xi didn't care about her. He just picked up a chicken in the morning and still wanted more. She was just wishful thinking.
