Chapter 145 Eternal Night Arrives
Xia Xiaoman was surprised. Judging from the old man Luo's style of doing things, he was not someone who would change his decision at will.
"Why did Old Man Luo agree to let me stay?"
"Wang Jiabao, the man you cut, his grandfather used his connections to have his father transferred back to the capital, and he wants to go with him. Grandpa Luo said that at this critical moment of the transfer, Wang Jiabao's father wouldn't dare to attack you casually, so it's safer for you to stay in the community than outside."
Wang Jiabao originally came to Fucheng with his father's transfer. His mother died of illness two years ago, and he was taken back to the capital to live for a while. He was not used to the living habits there, so he came back to Fucheng.
Wang Jiabao's father knew Old Man Luo, so he bought a house in Shuiyue Bay and asked Old Man Luo to take care of Wang Jiabao.
Therefore, Old Man Luo knew the situation of Wang Jiabao's family very well. Given how much the old Wang family loved Wang Jiabao, if Xia Xiaoman knew that her son's hand was disabled, she would definitely not have an easy life.
If the Wang family wanted to withdraw from Fucheng, he was sure that he could protect Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman felt a little complicated. If Old Man Luo didn't know right from wrong, she would leave without hesitation even if he asked her to stay. But things were not as she thought. If she insisted on leaving at this time, it would be a bit ignorant.
She did not tell Fu Baiwei explicitly whether she would stay or not, and planned to think about it before making a decision.
I was in a bad mood and couldn't sleep well. I tossed and turned in bed for a while before I slowly fell asleep.
Hearing the alarm ringing in a daze, Xia Xiaoman raised her hand to touch the alarm and turned it off, then struggled to get up. She glanced at the direction of the curtains, and it was pitch black. Was it still raining outside? It was already six o'clock in the morning, why was there no light at all?
Pulling open the curtains with a puzzled look on his face, he saw that it was as dark as ink outside the window, without a single ray of light. Xia Xiaoman's heart skipped a beat. Has the eternal night arrived?
With a heavy heart, I changed my clothes, had a quick breakfast, and went to the door to gather to clean the sewer.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Zhou Wenyu arrived at the gate of the community on time. "If nothing unexpected happens, starting from today, there will be no daylight for a long time. This is a searchlight. Wear it on your head. It will be more convenient when cleaning the sewers." As he said, he handed out the searchlight in his hand one by one.
The rain has stopped, and only a puddle of water remains on the ground from last night's hail. There is a chill in the air, and it inexplicably feels like autumn.
Xia Xiaoman gathered her clothes, put on a flashlight, and followed the team to clean the sewer.
The sewer has been cleaned for more than a month and is almost dug through. Maybe in a few days, we won't have to get up early and work late every day.
At 5:30 pm, work was over. Zhou Wenyu stopped everyone from going home and said, "Wait, I have something to tell you."
"Tomorrow our group will split up. Half of us will continue to clean the sewers here, and the other half will follow me to build the exhaust pipe in the sewers."
"Smoke exhaust pipe?" Someone asked in surprise, "Captain Zhou, are we going to move to the sewer in the future?"
"Who knows what will happen in the future? Don't ask so many questions. Just do it." After that, Zhou Wenyu named a few people and said, "A few of you will follow me to build the smoke exhaust pipe tomorrow. The rest of you will come here to clean the sewer tomorrow morning. Someone will come to supervise you."
The people he picked out were all tall and slender. Xia Xiaoman was excluded because of his height, but he still cleaned the sewers.
On the way home, Xia Xiaoman thought for a long time and finally decided to stay in Shuiyue Bay.
The eternal night has come, and it is pitch black all around. It is the right time to do bad things. There are many dangers outside, and it is not a wise move to move out of Shuiyue Bay at this time.
…
After Sun Qing finished dealing with the goods on hand, she was still thinking about what she had promised Xia Xiaoman to do to build a kang, so while her men were purchasing supplies, she came to Shuiyue Bay to find Xia Xiaoman.
When Sun Qing arrived at Shuiyue Bay, Xia Xiaoman had not yet finished get off work, so she had to wait for her at the security booth at the entrance of Shuiyue Bay.
Fu Baiwei happened to be patrolling at the door, so she chatted with her for a while and told her about how Xia Xiaoman had injured someone a few days ago and was almost forced to leave the community. She asked her to persuade Xia Xiaoman not to take it to heart.
Sun Qing nodded in agreement, but when she saw Xia Xiaoman, she immediately said angrily, "I heard that you were almost kicked out of Shuiyue Bay a few days ago? Why didn't you come to me if you had any problems? Shuiyue Bay doesn't allow you to stay. I have plenty of places in Yuancheng for you to stay."
"Go pack your things and come back to Yuancheng with me tomorrow. We don't want to be bullied here!"
Xia Xiaoman was a little tempted when she heard this, but after thinking for a while, she refused, "No, I live well here. There was a reason for the incident a few days ago, and it has been resolved."
Sun Qing is already living under someone else's roof. If she follows him, life will be difficult for both Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie. It's better for her not to cause more trouble.
"No matter what the reason is, you can't chase me away!" Sun Qing said angrily, "You are a wealthy woman after all, and you are also a martial arts expert. Why do you have to stay here and suffer?"
Xia Xiaoman smiled and said, "I didn't get angry at all. After all, it was the other party who suffered the loss. I was the one who got slashed by him. On the contrary, I didn't get hurt and didn't lose any supplies."
"Okay, let's put this matter behind us. I'll take you to my house. You've come here so many times, and it seems like every time you've been to my house, you've been there once." Xia Xiaoman changed the subject and took Sun Qing home after registering.
Seeing the rabbits and chickens that Xia Xiaoman kept on the second floor, Sun Qing's eyes lit up, "This rabbit is so fat. Can I eat it?"
Xia Xiaoman refused mercilessly, "No. I kept these four big rabbits for breeding. If you want, I can give you a pair of rabbits and you can raise them yourself."
Sun Qing waved her hand. "It's fine if you feed them to me, but forget about raising them. I don't have that much supplies to feed rabbits."
"I feed them locusts. You can also try using locusts. They are low-cost and nutritious. My chickens eat a lot of locusts, so they lay large and abundant eggs. I can basically pick up a double-yolked egg every day."
Xia Xiaoman said as she emptied the chicken coop. After a while, she took out four eggs, one of which was obviously bigger. "This should be a double yolk egg. Here, take it home and cook it yourself."
Sun Qing took the eggs without hesitation and said, "What a pity! If you had roosters here, maybe you could raise more and open a breeding farm."
"The old man who sells the chicks is very smart. He only sells hens and doesn't sell any roosters."
The two chatted for a while, and Xia Xiaoman took Sun Qing to see the kang he made. "Take a look at it to see if there is any problem with what I made. If there is no problem, I will complete the roof tomorrow."
Sun Qing took a closer look, pointed out a few minor problems, and helped fix the roof. By the time she was done, it was already past nine in the evening.
