C50 (1/2)
Although Sun Chun was not as stunningly beautiful as the pink-faced scholar on the stage, his tall and slender body and handsome face were enough to attract a lot of attention. Even the older grandma Wang would probably not be willing to reject him.
”Then tomorrow, come with me to the town. We'll find a bricklayer and a carpenter together, and then we'll go buy a batch of wood. We'll choose a batch of furniture and daily necessities as well.”
The fifteen taels of silver in her hands had already been spent eleven taels, there was still four taels of silver left. After hiring the bricklayers and carpenters, she estimated that the money would be gone, and she would have to look for Ding Liang for more silver. The wood was not cheap, and the new furniture would also have to be paid for.
”Mother, tomorrow, you, Little Brother and Sun Chun, we will leave together. I am worried about the two of you staying at home.”
Xia Li suggested to the Lee's.
”Mom will listen to you. Whatever you say, mom will do.” Lee's was currently extremely dependent on Xia Li and her heart was filled with pride.
”I also listen to my sister.” Xia Qing tilted his head, pulled Xia Li's hand, and obediently answered.
”Then, let's go all out and work hard for our new home.” Xia Li laughed happily.
Many times, life is just a thorn, touching it, piercing it, full of menace, not daring to touch it, always showing its sharpness and brutality, but it also prompts people in life to learn to grow a layer of self-defense armor, put on armor, master more tools, cut off sharp thorns, learn how to make thorns a tool of survival.
If you don't want to be beaten by life, you can only learn to be strong.
In the evening, Madam Zhou brought Little Stone to the courtyard for the first time ever. He patted Little Stone on his knees and apologized to Xia Li's family.
”Kneel down, apologize to Xia Qing, quickly.”
Madam Zhou's voice was sharp, he pulled on his own child, pressed on his shoulder and knelt on the ground.
”Mom, you're hurting me!” Little Stone pouted and stared. He pushed Madam Zhou's arm and kneeled down unwillingly.
”Xia Li, big sister, my child was ignorant before, he was just trying to help me vent my anger, and playing with Xia Qing, when he was dragging Xia Qing, he accidentally slipped and let him fall into the well. No matter what, it is my son's fault, you guys have beaten him up already, this time, forgive my child, and don't go and report it to the authorities.”
This is the chicken that I bought and a basket of eggs, take it to nourish Xia Qing. Furthermore, the people of the village no longer bother with us, and no child dares to play with my Little Stone. We have also received our punishment, can you let my child go?
The Madam Zhou said as he handed over the basket of eggs and chicken meat wrapped in oil paper to the Lee's.
Lee's looked at Xia Li, but did not extend his hand to receive all the things, he glanced at Little Stone who was kneeling on the ground with an unwilling expression, thinking about how his own son had almost destroyed a pair of eyes, and Little Stone who was in front of him, not getting injured at all.
”We don't want your things. Take your son and stay away from our Xia Qing, and stay further away from him, we are afraid, and can't offend your family, so please let us go. As mothers, I beg you, please understand.”
Lee's was afraid that Madam Zhou would scold him again, so he got up and stood up for Madam Zhou, and injured Xia Qing. After he finished speaking, he protected Xia Qing back in his room, and closed the door.
”Then what you mean is, will you still go to the County Yamen to report our family's Little Stone?”
The smile that Madam Zhou had on his face did not last long, before returning to his usual overbearing state. He raised his voice and asked Xia Li.
”Son, get up. They don't even put us in their eyes. Why are you kneeling?” As Madam Zhou spoke, he pulled Little Stone up and carried a basket of eggs with him. took away the chicken and held it in his arms.
Little Stone demonstrated as he glared at Xia Li before bounding off into the distance.
”I only have this precious son of mine, if you dare to sue our Little Stone, I will fight with your family. Right, don't stay in this house anymore, we all have broken faces, do you all have the nerve to continue living here, within these few days, move out, no matter what, my mother-in-law is also with us, you all must give up on the idea of relying on her to support you all.”
Madam Zhou said these harsh words as he twisted his waist and walked far away. Xia Li was so shocked that his chin almost fell to the ground.
”Is she really here to apologize or to demonstrate her worth? Does she really not feel the slightest bit of shame?” Xia Li was completely puzzled.
Sun Chun's eyes were so cold that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of her body, ”What do you think?”
Xia Li was quiet for a while, and then made a decision, ”There's no need to say anymore, this family, the further they hide, the better. Tomorrow, I will bring Mother and Little Brother to the town's inn and hide there for two days. Once the house has been repaired, we will directly move over to Tianshui Village. ”
”Then stay for the last night.” Sun Chun stretched lazily and sat down on the stairs, regaining his usual cold expression, he raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky. His handsome face was also tainted with a layer of frost, and the corner of his lips slightly raised, creating a beautiful scene.
Xia Li blankly stared at his back, the depths of his eyes couldn't help but be affected.
