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

Xia Tian's marriage was temporarily put on hold. Dong Xiaohuan no longer believed the matchmaker's exaggerated claims. She went to inquire about the situation herself and found that few people were as good as the matchmaker's claims. Seeing her son getting older, she felt a little anxious.

Li Xi came again, unexpectedly bringing with her an embroidery piece made by Wu Zhenzhen. He stopped Xia Tian and told him it was a gift from Wu Zhenzhen. Xia Tian refused to accept it, but as a man, he couldn't refuse Li Xi. Li Xi didn't care and just stuffed it into his arms.

"Mom!" Xia Tian dodged and jumped directly onto the roof.

"What's wrong?" Dong Xiaohuan was packing up to go out, and she didn't expect Li Xi to pester Xia Tian. Seeing her son being forced to go up to the roof, she asked, "What's going on? Come down quickly, why are you so high up?"

"I'm going to the martial arts gym." Xia Tian walked directly from the roof.

"This kid!" Li Xi shouted in annoyance.

"What are you doing!" Dong Xiaohuan raised her eyebrows and spoke in an impatient tone.

"Nothing, I just wanted to say a few words to him." Li Xi stuffed the things into her arms and walked away dejectedly. She thought she would come back next time. Maybe she didn't explain it clearly today.

Dong Xiaohuan didn't know what she was up to, so she went to her brother to tell him about Li Xi's recent behavior. Dong Xiaomao scolded Li Xi and told her to stay at home and not to go to her sister's house to cause trouble.

Li Xi's gifts hadn't been delivered, but Wu Zhenzhen hadn't received a letter in a few days, so she assumed they had. But Li Xi still hadn't sent any messages, and Wu Zhenzhen, unaware of the situation, hid at home and cried. Wu's mother had always doted on her daughter, never letting her do any rough work since she was little. She only hoped to raise her delicate and tender daughter so she could marry into a wealthy family.

Wu Zhenzhen then told her mother about Xia Tian's family background. Her mother then asked about Xia Tian's family background and became concerned. After comforting her daughter, she went to find her father.

Xia Chu was watering the flowers when she heard someone knocking on the door. She brought Da'an and Xiao'an to the door and asked through the door, "Who is it?"

Mother Wu glanced at Father Wu and stepped forward and asked, "Is this the home of Mrs. Dong Xiaohuan?"

Seeing that the visitor accurately said her mother's name, she thought it was a relative. Xia Chu let down her guard, opened the door a crack and said, "My parents are not at home, do you have..." Before she finished speaking, Father Wu pushed the door open and came in.

Wu's mother also squeezed in. Xia Chu frowned in displeasure. These two were so rude!

"Where's your master?" Father Wu looked around the house and felt even more satisfied. "Go call your master back. We have something to discuss."

"They went out for something. I wonder what it was?" Xia Chu had never seen these two people before. They looked around as soon as they entered the door. They didn't look like guests, but more like bandits scouting the place.

"I can't explain it to a child like you. Go call the adults back. Didn't you hear me?" Father Wu acted bossy, as if he thought he was the master.

"You guys can come next time. There's no one at home and it's not convenient for me to go out." Xia Chu glanced at Da'an and Xiao'an. No wonder they all like to keep dogs. They feel safe.

She almost said she didn't trust the two men, but Father Wu didn't seem to understand. "We have nothing to worry about here. Go quickly."

"That's right, how come this child doesn't understand what I'm saying?" Wu's mother chimed in, "He didn't even pour a cup of tea. He's really ignorant."

Xia Chu said angrily: "Who are you? If you don't get out, I'll call for help!"

Mother Wu glared at her in dissatisfaction. "This child is so uneducated. How dare she yell at her elders? We are your wife Li's family. We have to discuss the wedding with your parents. Why don't you pour some tea and call your parents back."

Xia Chu had been here for so long, but she had rarely seen such rude and arrogant people. She was too lazy to waste words with them. Madam Li, you're not talking about Li Xi, are you? But what does Li Xi's family have to do with hers? And they came to her house to show off their power. "Are you going to leave or not? If not, I'll let the dogs out."

Mother Wu frowned and pointed at Xia Chu, saying, "Hey, you're so rude. Our Zhenniang might be your sister-in-law in the future. Show some respect, or you'll be in trouble."

Xia Chu almost couldn't help but spit in her face, but this reminded her of something. The girl Li Xi brought last time seemed to be called Zhen Niang, so it must be her. But last time, her mother had rejected her outright, and she actually asked her parents to come to her house. It's really a world of wonders. If a girl can't get married, can she just find someone to marry? She tried to hold it in, but couldn't help it, "Bah, my eldest brother's wife is also something your family can dream of. With your family tradition, it's unlucky to get involved! Da'an and Xiao'an!"

Da'an whimpered, tucked his tail between his legs, lowered his front legs, bared his teeth and snorted threateningly, as if he was ready to pounce at any moment. Xiao'an immediately screamed and opened his mouth to bite Father Wu.

Father Wu was so frightened that he took several steps back, and a piece of his clothes was torn off by the dog's teeth. Mother Wu screamed and turned and ran away. Father Wu shook his fingers, "You...you..."

"Are you going to get out or not?" Xia Chu took two steps forward, and Da'an pretended to pounce on him. Father Wu yelled and ran away.

Xia Chu closed the door and heard Wu's mother yelling and cursing from outside. She rolled her eyes and kicked Xiao An again, and Xiao An immediately started to curse loudly.

Mr. and Mrs. Wu were so frightened that they trembled and supported each other as they walked.

Halfway through the journey, the two of them were so angry that they ran to Li's house. As soon as they entered the house, they started to scold Li Xi. Li's parents didn't understand what was going on, so it was Li's eldest sister-in-law who told them the whole story.

The Wu family's parents exaggerated the anger they had suffered, emphasizing that the Wang family's eldest son had taken their daughter's things and had his sister let the dog bite people.

After some discussion, everyone decided to go to the Dong family to ask for an explanation.

Dong's mother was at home when a group of people arrived and, without explanation, began to scold Dong Xiaohuan. It took her a while to process the situation. But she couldn't believe her daughter would so easily agree to Xia Tian's marriage, especially since Li Xi had introduced them. Furthermore, Xia Chu had always been well-behaved, so she must have been furious to let the dogs bite. She was also familiar with the two dogs; they didn't bite at all; they were well-trained by Wang Yong.

But most people wouldn't joke about their daughter's reputation. Perhaps something hadn't been explained clearly. Dong's mother kindly advised, "Is there some misunderstanding? Li Xi went to the river to wash clothes and has just returned."

When Li Xi came back and saw her parents and the Li family, she felt a wave of anxiety in her heart. But just as she was about to explain why the things had not been delivered, she suddenly had a good idea.

Dong Xiaohuan had just finished her morning market run when she saw a large group of people rushing into the store. If it weren't for her parents, they would have looked like debt collectors. "Dad? Mom? What are you doing?"

"Go and call Xia Tian back, and we'll go to your house to talk." Dong's father waved his hand and turned to the Wang family.

What did Xia Tian do? Dong Xiaohuan was confused, but her father had said it himself, and since he had left without anyone to explain, she asked the clerk to help watch the shop while she went to the martial arts gym.
