Chapter 33
"What will you do if the yard is completely destroyed?"
"As long as the things my parents left for me are not destroyed, that's fine, but..."
If those things were also destroyed by Zhao Lin'an, she would have to fight with others even if she tried her best.
Zhou Xiaoyuan noticed her thoughts, frowned slightly and wanted to persuade her, but when she thought of Nini's appearance when she was bullied, she felt that she was not qualified to speak out.
Just like this, they walked back to the yard in silence. Looking at the yard that was even messier than before they left, neither of them let out a sigh.
"I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome than when I came here."
"If you find it troublesome, why not find another way? I can clean up this mess by myself."
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan thought she was going to drive her away.
But as soon as I thought about it, I realized that Wu was not such a person at all. She was just worried that these things would become a drag, so she said those words.
"Where can I go if I leave? Wandering around with Nini? Are you willing to let this girl suffer outside?"
"Of course I'm reluctant to give it up, but with this look, I'm afraid there are a lot of things to buy. It's better for you to pick it up elsewhere and make a quick comeback in making dumplings."
Confirming what she was thinking, Zhou Xiaoyuan was even more helpless. She sighed and put her child on the table where she had just been helped.
Feeling the coolness, the child shrank down, opened his eyes and still wanted to find someone, but was covered by a piece of clothing and patted on the back and fell asleep again.
"Make a comeback? Don't you need to buy things outside?"
"Besides, why do you think that others will be kind enough to lend me something? If the skill of eating is stolen, won't I be kicked out to find the old beggar in the end?"
Wu didn't think of this
A little, now that I heard this, I felt it made sense. I sighed, and then gave up the seat next to me.
"Then I'll forgive you and clean it again, and I will return the money to you later."
"Don't say this, I will live here in the future, and the money will be spent on myself."
"Mom, do we still have money?"
Suddenly hearing the child's voice, Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at the person who wanted to jump off the table to find her and immediately reached out and put him on the ground.
After tidying up her messy hair, she and others looked at Wu together.
"Nini, please ask Auntie to take us in."
"Auntie, don't drive us away! Nini can help clean up, and you can rub Auntie's shoulders when she's tired!"
Wu looked at Nini who suddenly became nervous, glared at Zhou Xiaoyuan with disgust, then pointed to the bucket next to her and asked her to bring a basin of water to wipe the furniture.
Knowing that she was useful, Xiao Nizi stopped making a sound and quickly ran forward with a rag in her arms and began to wipe away the dirt-stained objects in the courtyard.
The two of them took inventory and found that everything in the courtyard for a year had been smashed, and their brows knitted together again.
"Everything I finally bought was smashed."
"If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come. Besides, if you don't have these things, I'm afraid you will have to worry about Zhao Linan coming to trouble you at any time."
There is no loss at all in spending a small amount of money to do big things.
Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at the mess on the ground, reached out and picked out the barely usable items, and restored them to their original state after some tinkering.
"And we haven't paid it all."
"To put it simply, this thing can only be used a few times, and it will fall apart soon."
Mrs. Wu saw the whole process of her repairing something. She picked up the thing and shook it slightly, causing it to be completely scrapped.
Scattered on the ground.
Zhou Xiaoyuan was not surprised at all by this movement, but instead focused her attention elsewhere.
I swept the things bit by bit to the center of the yard, finally restoring the tidiness of the yard to when I first arrived.
"You won't even let go of this bamboo hat, what bastards are you!"
"Actually, this thing shouldn't be anything. There are more troublesome things."
When Wu heard this, she quickly turned her head and saw the corner pointed by Zhou Xiaoyuan.
It turned out that even the most worthless water tank in the house had a hole punched in it at some point.
Looking at the water stains on the ground, it seemed that the water inside was almost leaking. This made Wu's cheeks red with anger, and she wished she could pull out the people one by one and send them to the government right now.
Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't want to go there again. After all, the prefect's eyes were too strange, and she didn't want to have anything to do with that person anymore.
The two of them had been together all the time, so they naturally noticed the strange look on the prefect's face.
Wu sighed even more helplessly, then squatted down and carefully searched for useful things inside.
"I'm afraid these are not much different from what I just found. It's better to buy new ones directly."
"I know this is true, but..."
The sudden silence made Zhou Xiaoyuan realize that something was wrong. After thinking about it for a moment, she remembered that most of the money she earned in those days was taken away.
The two of them are now considered penniless.
She had no choice but to squat on the ground like Wu, rummaging for something she could continue to use.
"We will continue selling dumplings tomorrow? Do we need a steamer and a rolling pin?"
"I've hit someone with that rolling pin, so even if I could use it, I wouldn't want to use it. It's too dirty."
Not because it fell to the ground
Dirty, but stained with the dirty blood of those two people. I really don’t want to contaminate the food anymore.
Wu understood what Zhou Xiaoyuan meant, nodded, then squatted down and continued to look for useful things inside.
There is a wooden basin among them, which contains a lot of dust, but after cleaning it, it can be used to wake up the noodles.
He carefully placed it aside to make sure it wouldn't fall apart suddenly, then he looked away and continued to rummage around for various things.
Fortunately, Cai Danzi didn't need many things, so he quickly gathered all the things he needed.
"Nini, please soak them in water, and my aunt will come and wash them later."
"I can."
"What can you do? If you don't wash these things clean, you will turn yourself into a mud monkey by then."
Hearing Zhou Xiaoyuan's words, Nini frowned dissatisfied. She obviously wanted to say something, but was put on the chair next to her again.
She raised her hand to straighten the child's wet cuffs, then quickly walked to the water's edge and scrubbed away the dust outside.
"Many places in the house are damaged, and we still need to hire someone to repair them."
"In a while, we can only buy what we need now, otherwise the three of us will starve to death."
The two of them looked around at the almost empty yard in front of them again, and both couldn't help but sigh.
"You can't open the door at will in the future, but you have to have the door repaired first, and you can't let people in or out at will."
Otherwise, the family, which is not rich in the first place, will be destroyed again by that group of people.
Wu did not refute this, nodded solemnly, and threw the dirty gauze the same color as the ground into the water.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to move tomorrow, why not go for a walk in the city?"
Compare it with cheaper stuff and look at it casually
See if there are other ways to make money.
