The more Xia Jin spoke, the more the Xia family's face darkened. The family was furious. Xia Qingqing, still trying to maintain her image as a little white flower, just looked at Xia Jin with a vicious look. Old Lady Xia, without so many concerns, began to curse at Xia Jin. The words that Old Lady Xia cursed were too much for the neighbors to hear, but Liu Xiu, the mother, did not defend Xia Jin when she heard those words, but stood there indifferent.
After letting Old Lady Xia scold him for a while, Xia Jin said sadly, "I know I'm not her biological child, so I always rush to do any work. I can barely sit at the table, but I dare not eat anything. I sleep on a bed made of stools every day, and I dare not even turn over in my sleep every night."
"I'm like a slave in the old society. I do all the work. I endure all your dislike for me. I don't fight back or curse back. It's because I'm a burden. But after I've done so much, you still want to kick me out. Hahahaha, so funny."
Old Master Xia's face turned pale as he was about to retort, but Xia Jin continued, "I'm not an adult yet, so isn't it right for my mother to raise me? I've seen through it all, so let's just leave it like that. I agree to move my household registration out, and I want to sever ties with you."
Old Lady Xia said, "Then get out of here."
Xia Jin said: "Although you treat me like this, I am still willing to support my mother in her old age. After we get to the police station and move our household registration, we will sign a document. After you turn 60, I will give you 100 yuan every year to fulfill the mother-son relationship between us." Liu Xiu is 38 now. When she turns 60, she doesn't know what she can do with 100 yuan.
"Xia Jin is great. Her mother is in such a state, but she is still willing to take care of her mother."
"Yes, I am filial."
Liu Xiu said: "Okay, let's go and transfer our household registration."
The group quickly arrived at the police station. The household registration transfer process went incredibly smoothly. Xia Jin took the household registration book and looked at it again and again. From today on, he was free. After the transfer, Xia Jin said to the staff, "Hello, can you lend me a pen and paper?"
The staff handed the item to Xia Jin, who then said to Liu Xiu, "You write it down, and I'll talk about it. Public security comrades, please help us bear witness."
Liu Xiu picked up his pen and began to write. Xia Jin asked Liu Xiu to write at the end, "Besides the annual pension payment mentioned above, there will be no further contact between the two of them. Xia Jin will not be responsible for Liu Xiu's other pension matters. In the future, they do not need to notify each other of birth, old age, illness, or death."
The group signed the agreement and put their fingerprints on it in duplicate under the witness of the public security comrades. After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Liu Xiu stopped Xia Jin and said, "Remember what you said."
With that, he left with the Xia family. Xia Jin looked at the household registration book in his hand and smiled broadly. A new life was about to begin.
Xia Jin put the household registration booklet into the space, touched his hair, and prepared to go to the state-owned barber shop for a haircut. After the barber finished cutting Xia Jin's hair, Xia Jin looked at the palm-sized face in the mirror, with delicate features, clear and bright pupils, and black hair. Xia Jin smiled at the person in the mirror and thought, "So this is what I used to look like."
Xia Jin didn't take anything from the Xia family except books, so after leaving the barber shop, Xia Jin went to the department store to buy some clothes and some daily necessities. Xia Jin chose a few shirts, jeans, bell-bottom pants, a sports suit, and some winter clothes.
Xia Jin found a deserted spot and entered the space. She was originally planning to go back to her rented house, but she wanted to use the spiritual spring water to strengthen her body first, fearing that the effects would be too obvious. It was easy to explain to the school because she had always covered her face at school, and her skin hadn't been exposed, so Xia Jin wasn't worried about them noticing and no one had seen her.
Aunt Zhang's side wouldn't work because her face was already exposed. If she used it at night, he would definitely notice it tomorrow morning, so Xia Jin chose to enter the space first.
After entering the space, Xia Jin placed his purchases in the cabin, then filled some spiritual spring water and drank it. After a while, black mud began to appear on his body, and the stench was overwhelming. Xia Jin took out the bathtub he had bought earlier, filled it with spiritual spring water, and soaked himself in it. Although he had previously experimented with finding that the water in the spiritual spring was recycled for some reason, Xia Jin still couldn't bear to wash himself into the spiritual spring. Xia Jin changed the water several times and finally washed himself clean.
Xia Jin put on her newly bought white shirt and jeans, and tied her hair into a bun, revealing her fair face and plump forehead, looking like a true young beauty.
Xia Jin took out the mirror she had bought and looked at the girl in the mirror with fair, delicate skin, red lips and white teeth. She thought that Lingquan was really amazing. Originally, Xia Jin's skin was also fair, but years of wind and rain inevitably made her pores a little enlarged and her skin tone dull. However, after drinking Lingquan water, all these disappeared.
After Xia Jin took care of himself, he walked into the cabin and found the books he had found when cleaning the room. It was because of these books that Xia Jin understood that this jade pendant was originally a mustard seed space used by his ancestors to cultivate immortals. After the great man's death, this jade pendant was passed down from generation to generation by the great man's descendants until Xia Jin's generation, when Xia Jin opened the space and found the skills inside.
However, the modern times are no longer suitable for cultivating immortals, so Xia Jin found a book on physical fitness and started practicing. Xia Jin thought that since he lived alone, he should have some self-defense skills so that he would have a way to deal with it if someone really picked on him.
Xia Jin practiced the postures in the book. After practicing for a while, Xia Jin felt that the time was almost up, so he left the space and prepared to go back to his rented house. He had been in the space for so long, but only ten minutes had passed outside.
After greeting Aunt Zhang, Xia Jin took his things and returned to his room. Looking at the mattress and quilt that Aunt Zhang had already laid out in the room, Xia Jin thought that if there was a chance in the future, he could help them. Aunt Zhang did her work very seriously.
Xia Jin packed up the things she bought one by one and looked at the tidy room. "Oh no, I forgot to buy toiletries."
Xia Jin went to the department store again to buy toiletries, and also bought some prepared food and drinks, preparing to celebrate her new life tonight.
After Xia Jin had packed up, she said to Aunt Zhang, who was making the remaining bedding for Xia Jin, "Aunt Zhang, I'm happy to move into a new house today. I bought some things. Don't cook at noon. Let's celebrate together."
Aunt Zhang said, "No, you can just eat it yourself. These things are so expensive."
Xia Jin said, "It's okay. I'm happy today. Besides, I don't have any family and I can't celebrate alone."
Aunt Zhang said, "Then I'll cook a few dishes and we can eat together. But in the end, our family still has the advantage."
