C44 (2/2)
No matter how weak her character, she was still angry at the thought of her future livelihood difficulties.
Mother, don't worry, most of the money is already in the bank, I still have some broken silver, and the little money I put in the room is for emergencies, First Aunt at most received that little money, and her notoriety has already spread throughout the manor, so she will not dare to be so presumptuous in the future.
Hearing Xia Li's patient explanation, Lee's's expression became slightly better, as he hugged Xia Qing tightly, and said angrily.
”In the future, I won't allow her to take a step into this courtyard. If she comes, I'll use a broom to drive her out.”
”Sure, Mother, we'll do as you say. You and Xia Qing are both waiting at home. I will be back in two hours. ”
Xia Li held onto Lee's's hand and said with a smile.
”Let me help you count the items you need to buy so that you can relax a little.”
As Sun Chun said this, he began to count the various places in the kitchen and the courtyard. He also prepared a paper and a brush to write down what he needed to buy on the list.
”I'll pack my things. There aren't many things in this courtyard, so I should be able to clear them out quickly.”
The Lee's also brought Xia Qing and began to clean up the destroyed things in the courtyard. Everything was piled up in the courtyard, in a woven bag, ready to be thrown out later.
”Then let's all move together.”
As Xia Li said that, he led the rest to continue with their work.
Everyone gathered as much as they could, and before long, Sun Chun handed over a shopping list to Xia Li. Lee's and Xia Qing also packed up all sorts of broken household items and brought them out with them.
”Sun Chun, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my mother and brother. I'll go to town.”
Before Xia Li prepared to leave, he specifically warned Sun Chun.
”As much as I can.” Sun Chun sat on the stairs and replied as he cleaned the courtyard.
”Xia Qing helped mother to go to the village to collect trash from their uncle, but she hasn't been back for such a long time. I'll go take a look first.”
Xia Li felt that his eyelids were constantly twitching, and his heart was flustered. He decided that before he left, it would be better to bring Lee's and Xia Qing back together.
”Then I'll go with you.”
Sun Chun said as he and Xia Li set off together, searching for the Lee's and Xia Qing. But not long after they left, they heard the heart-wrenching cries of the Lee's, which travelled all the way over.
”Not good, it's my mother's voice.”
Xia Li said as he frowned slightly. Following the sound, he ran over, only to see Lee's sitting by the well, hugging Xia Qing's wet body and sobbing. The people around were surrounding the well, accompanied by the screams of children.
”Let me go!”
Little Stone shouted to the man who was grabbing his body.
Xia Li looked at Little Stone, who was being grabbed, and lowered her head to try and bite his hand again. She could not care less, immediately running to Lee's's side and grabbing onto her body, as she asked anxiously.
”Mother, what's going on? What's wrong with Xia Qing?”
”It's the evil being called Little Stone, who pushed Xia Qing into the well, it's him! If it were not for the good intentions of the village neighbors who saved him, Xia Qing might not be alive right now! ”
Lee's cried miserably, her voice hoarse as she pointed at the struggling Little Stone and complained.
”He's the one seeking death, who let him meet me, who let you bully my mother, it's best if you drown him, and never wake up again!”
Little Stone shouted.
Xia Li could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, rushed to the front of Little Stone and, ignoring his shouts and kicks, fiercely slapped him on the face. Little Stone wailed loudly, until he was crying profusely.
”Hurry up and save your little brother. His life is the most important.”
Sun Chun pulled the extremely furious Xia Li and yelled in her ear.
”Xia Qing, how are you? Big Sister is here to save you, you must wake up. ”
Xia Li regained his senses and ran over to Lee's and hugged Xia Qing from her embrace.
”Everyone help to find a doctor, saving Xia Qing is the most important thing!”
Someone shouted from the crowd.
Xia Li supported Xia Qing, ”I am a doctor, my own little brother, I will save him!”
When Xia Qing landed in the well water, his body turned ice-cold from the cold water. Xia Li laid Xia Qing flat on the ground, pressed his chest with rhythm, and kept on artificial breathing. After some rescue, Xia Qing finally spat out all the water in his lungs.
”Wuu … wuu …” ”Cold.”
Xia Qing hugged her body and cried.
”Quickly put on big sister's clothes, come here.” As Xia Li said that, he took off his jacket and put it on Xia Qing.
Xia Qing stretched his hands out to touch every nook and cranny but he was still unable to do so. His eyes were once again shrouded in darkness, and he panicked, choking back his emotions as he asked. ”Big sister, is it night time? ”Where are you …”
Lee's's body shook and he almost fell backwards.
