Chapter 230 Sleep on the Street
Chapter 230 Sleep on the Street
Xia Dachang glanced at her and muttered, "You women are useless. Are you just given these two cakes and some instant noodles? Don't forget why we are here."
Xia Anan, who was standing by, naturally heard what they said. What were they here for? Of course, they came to ask her for money.
She said nothing and waited for them to finish eating.
Although Xia Dachang said that he was disgusted, he actually ate no less.
During the days they were out, the two of them were reluctant to eat. In order to find Xia Anan, they wandered around Hai City for several days and finally got news about Xia Anan from a young man.
Then I came to Jingshi from Haishi. It was a train ride of more than ten hours. The food on the train was quite expensive, but I couldn’t afford to buy it.
Finally they arrived in Beijing, but they didn't know where to find Xia Anan.
In order to save money, they got on a van at the train station. The van owner said that he would take them to a snack street, but he ended up taking them to a remote place and it cost 500 yuan to bring them back.
Xia Dachang and his partner had been living frugally for so many days, so naturally they were reluctant to spend money.
The other party ignored their bargaining and just stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Just like that, the two were confused again.
In order to save money, they asked along the way and found the snack street, but when they found Chunhua Plaza, there was no trace of Xia Anan there.
Wang Chengmei was about to give up, but at this moment, they saw Xia Anan's photo on someone else's mobile phone. After many twists and turns, they finally found this place.
During this period, they were reluctant to stay in a hotel, so they would stay in a cheap small hotel if they could find one. If not, they would just stay in a park or on the roadside for a night.
They were reluctant to eat, so they ordered one portion for Xia Dachang and one for Wang Chengmei. One of them was worried that ordering another portion would cost more money, and the other didn't dare to ask, so neither of them ever felt full.
When such a big bowl of noodles was placed in front of them, Wang Chengmei could no longer hold back. Although Xia Dachang said he was disgusted, he actually ate faster than Wang Chengmei.
In less than ten minutes, two full bowls of noodles and a few scallion pancakes that Xia Anan brought over were all eaten up.
Wang Chengmei burped several times and felt a little embarrassed as she covered her mouth.
Xia Anan said: "Are you full? If not, I'll buy you some more."
"Eat enough, eat enough."
There was no way Wang Chengmei could eat anything else. Her stomach was already so full that she would vomit if she ate two more bites.
Xia Dachang finished the last mouthful of soup in the bowl and smacked his lips. This big city is different. Even the instant noodles here taste better than those in their small county.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, "Erya, go find a place for us two to live. Your mother and I haven't had a good sleep for several days. We need the best room."
Xia Anan didn't move. She looked at the two of them and continued, "If you are full, you two can go. There is a bus back in the early morning. You can still catch it now."
Her tone was flat, as if she was just saying that the weather was nice today.
After saying that, he turned and left, completely ignoring the furious Xia Dachang.
"Erya! You have really become more capable, haven't you? Who told you to leave?"
Perhaps because Xia Dachang was backing her up, Wang Chengmei became bolder and chased after Xia Anan, reaching out to pull her hair.
How could Xia Anan just stand there and let her bully her? Besides, they are now in the snack street, this is their own territory. Even if the two of them want to take action, they should think twice, right?
When Wang Chengmei reached out to grab it, Xia Anan dodged sideways.
The woman had no time to retract her strength and fell to the ground like a giant toad, screaming in pain.
When Xia Dachang saw this scene, he felt that his authority was challenged. How could Xia Anan dare to fight back?
He rushed forward, but was blocked by Lu Qingyuan.
Lu Qingyuan pointed at the surveillance camera above his head and said, "If you want to do it, that's fine. Tonight... no, I can arrange accommodation for you for several nights."
Xia Dachang was stunned, then realized the meaning of his words and looked him up and down several times.
"Who are you and what is your relationship with this little girl? Otherwise, can you help her give me the money?"
Lu Qingyuan: "...Sure, but if you take my money, you may not be able to leave Beijing City, and you will be arranged to have free food and lodging."
He was using his usual joking tone at this moment, which made Xia Dachang even angrier.
"Xia Anan, are you trying to send your father to jail? I've raised you for so many years, and you're really an ungrateful person, aren't you?"
Xia Anan laughed and asked him, "Are you my father?"
This light sentence made Xia Dachang and Wang Chengmei speechless. They were indeed not Xia Anan's biological parents, but...
"What's wrong with them not being your biological parents? Then you have to give us money too! You've been eating our food for so many years, you must pay us back!"
Wang Chengmei said quickly.
She saw that some people had gathered around her. If Xia Anan didn't want to embarrass herself, she would definitely be sensible and give them the money.
She almost couldn't hold on several times on the way here. All she wanted was to ask Xia Anan for money, which made her insist on walking to Jingshi and getting in front of Xia Anan.
Even if I gave them two bowls of instant noodles, there was absolutely no way they would leave.
Xia Anan smiled and said, "You want money? No way. I won't give you a penny. Just consider the dinner just now as my treat."
She suppressed the smile on her face and said, "If you are full, leave now and I will pretend that what happened today never happened. If you continue to pester me, you must have watched a lot of TV dramas, right? You will go to jail if you ask people for money."
"Don't say we are a family. You have already removed me from your household registration book. We have no relationship now."
Xia Dachang was so angry that he was gasping for breath: "You, you, you! You are such an ungrateful person..."
Wang Chengmei and the others were really scared and didn't dare to do anything. They just kept calling her an ungrateful woman.
These words didn't hurt Xia Anan at all. She didn't care what they said. She wouldn't lose anything anyway.
When the two of them were tired, Xia Anan asked again: "Are you done? Let's go quickly, or you won't be able to get a ride and will have to sleep on the street again."
"You!" Xia Dachang glanced at the camera above his head, "Just wait! We won't go back until we get the money!"
"Hmm."
Xia Anan cleaned her ears and gave a kind reminder.
“This Jing City is different from other places. There are patrols at night. If they see the two of you wandering around the street, they might invite you in for tea!
You must be careful when you sleep on the street! It’s okay if you go in, but don’t lose your things!”
