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

Chapter 134

At the same time, Xia Tian received the news and was on his way to Huizhou alone on horseback.

Huizhou to Lin'an was more than 300 miles away. Zhao Huazhang gave his horse to Xia Tian, who rode at full speed without rest, and they would arrive in seven or eight hours. As expected, Xia Tian arrived in Huizhou before sunset the next day.

Except in the summer, no one in the Wang family went out. Dong Xiaohuan tried to coax Wang Qiuyu to go to school, since he was still young. But he pouted and looked stubborn, refusing to listen.

Just as breakfast was ready, Da'an called out to the door. Dong Xiaohuan guessed that Jia Sansi had arrived. His eagerness made her feel a little relieved. After all, he really valued her. However, she was a little confused. Why didn't Xia Chu's father come in person, but her uncle was so eager?

The guest arrived at the door, and even though he didn't knock, he couldn't just ignore him. Dong Xiaohuan sighed and went to open the door.

"Madam Wang, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Jia Sansi." Jia Sansi had prepared gifts when he returned yesterday, and sent a letter to his parents that night to let them know Jue Xia had been found. He hadn't even eaten this morning when he rushed over, only realizing his impoliteness when he reached the door. At this hour, most people would be either cooking or preparing to eat. Although he had called yesterday, the timing was wrong, and he didn't want to offend anyone. So he sat in the carriage and waited. Just as the old servant was urging him to eat, the gate to the Wang residence opened.

A middle-aged woman opened the door. Her face was gentle, though a touch of worry lingered, as if her arrival had brought trouble to the family. His beloved niece was inside, and thinking of his sister's frantic behavior, he didn't feel he had done anything wrong. Juexia was his sister's biological daughter, accidentally abducted while she was not properly cared for. He was grateful to her for raising her safely and healthily, but he couldn't give up his resolve to bring Juexia home just because of their resistance.

"Please come in." Thinking that the other party was here so early, he probably hadn't eaten yet. Dong Xiaohuan pulled up the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, "Breakfast is just ready, let's have some together."

"Who's here so early in the morning?" Wang Yong had finished practice early and saw those strangers. He knew what they were. "Brother Jia, right? Let's have something to eat together. Just call me Wang Yong."

"Then I'd rather obey your command." Jia Sansi bowed and asked the servant to put the gift aside.

Dong Xiaohuan took a quick look and prepared to have him take the baby back when they left. "Xia Chu didn't sleep well yesterday and only fell asleep this morning. I won't wake him up and let him sleep a little longer."

Jia Sansi frowned slightly, wondering if she hadn't gotten up yet. But thinking of the girl's unacceptable expression yesterday, he could understand. The Wang family's parents' attitude showed their love for their child, and it seemed Juexia had lived well these past few years. But this made it even harder to let her go. He sighed inwardly. Judging by Juexia's attitude yesterday, taking her away this time wouldn't be easy.

Zhang Zhou, Guan Xu, and Wang Qiuyu all got up, greeted Jia Sansi, and sat down to eat breakfast. Wang Qiuyu looked unhappy, and looked at Jia Sansi with hostility.

Jia Sansi noticed it, but didn't make a fuss about it.

After dinner, Xiachu finally got up. Yesterday, I tossed and turned until midnight before falling asleep. When the sun rose in the morning, my mind knew it was time to get up, but my body didn't want to.

"Dad, Mom, I got up late..." Xia Chu paused, seeing Jia Sansi's complicated and tangled heart. "Master Jia."

Jia Sansi frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. He had no right to lecture her now. If he had not let go of her hand, she would not have been reduced to living outside and relying on others. Jia Sansi could not help but sigh. He wanted to coax her back first, and wait until she got used to it. He softened his voice, as if with a hint of pleading, "Call me uncle, I haven't heard it in a long time."

Xia Chu opened her mouth, but couldn't shout, and couldn't help but look at Dong Xiaohuan.

Dong Xiaohuan immediately stood up and said, "The kitchen has left some food for you. You're up so late and your stomach must be famished. Go eat it first."

This child doesn't want to recognize herself. Jia Sansi felt a little uncomfortable and angry. For so many years, he never gave up looking for her, but she was unwilling to call him uncle. Is there any cure for my sister's illness? I have seen many famous doctors in Huizhou, and they all said it was a heart disease that needed to be treated with heart medicine. But this heart medicine is a living person... Alas, I just heard from the Wang family that Juexia suffered a lot when she was a child, and she also had a serious illness with a high fever for a long time. She has forgotten everything that happened before.

Xia Chu came out again, and she had prepared herself mentally. Just as she was about to call him uncle, Jia Sansi came over with gifts. "Look, these are all bought by your uncle, new clothes, jewelry. I don't know what you like, so I bought some of the latest ones. If you don't like any of them, your uncle will give you money, so you can buy them yourself, okay?"

"No need, uncle, I..." Xia Chu wanted to say that she had everything, but seeing the expectation in his eyes, she swallowed the words back, "Thank you."

Hearing the word "uncle", Jia Sansi almost cried with joy. Excitedly, he wanted to reach out and pull her, but she dodged him gently. Just calling her uncle would be enough, at least she wouldn't resist so much. Jia Sansi rubbed his hands and said anxiously: "I just told your parents what happened in the past. They also know about the birthmark on your arm. You must be my niece. When will you come back with me? I'm not rushing you, but your mother has been crazy for these years. She is emaciated and can't hold on any longer..."

Xia Chu didn't really want to go, but she couldn't bear to leave her mother, who was worried about her daughter. But she also had some resistance to going to a strange place alone.

She hung her head and said nothing. Dong Xiaohuan held her hand and said softly, "Xiaochu, it's time to go and see."

Xia Chu looked up at her and nodded.

"Great, let's go today!" Jia Sansi was overjoyed. He hadn't expected it to be so easy. He secretly remembered the Wang family's kindness. Reasonable people are easy to talk to. He took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "Brother Wang, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her. These are also a token of my appreciation. I hope you won't refuse. You have taken such good care of Juexia. I don't have anything else to give you, only these mundane things."

Wang Yong quickly raised his hand to refuse. "That's not necessary. My wife and I really love Xia Chu. She's been very well-behaved since she was little, and never a cause for worry. But there's another thing. My wife and I want to go together. After all, we raised her, and she's still so young. We're worried about her going so far alone."

This made Jia Sansi feel a little uncomfortable, but it was also reasonable. As long as he was willing to go back, everything else would be a small matter. "Then I'll go prepare the car. You can go with me!"

He was so anxious, but his family couldn't catch up. Besides, Xia Tian hadn't returned yet, and the situation in Huizhou was still unknown. Wang Yong said, "There are many children at home who need to be settled. I also have some errands to attend to at the government office, and my wife has a shop to run. It may take a few days to prepare and arrange everything before we can set off."

Jia Sansi was unwilling but had no choice. "Okay, I'll stay at the Yuebin Inn. If you're better, just send someone to let me know."
