Chapter 24 Living in the City with Uncle

The program crew was afraid that Qin Sui and his friends would stay in the county, so they came and knocked on the door early in the morning.

Qin Sui was quite cooperative. He got in the Maybach and came to the hospital to pick up Li Xiaoya.

Li Xiaoya had never slept on such a soft bed before. She didn't even open her eyes until the production crew broke in.

Li Xiaoya sat up in a daze, wrapped in a small quilt, like a figurine doll.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Sheng Yuxiao glanced at the staff with dissatisfaction.

The staff could only say: "Besides taking care of Grandpa Li, there are also pigs and chickens at home..."

"You won't help feed it?"

“We can’t feed them well.”

"You can't even do this well." Sheng Yuxiao frowned, "You're worse than a kid?"

The staff wanted to refute, but after thinking it over, they found they had no way to refute.

Indeed, Li Xiaoya is better than these adults.

So Li Xiaoya is indispensable in the family.

"Wait a minute, Li Xiaoya hasn't washed her face or brushed her teeth yet." Sheng Yuxiao finally let go. Anyway, he thought that the wound would heal soon, and he would be able to return as a king soon and kick Qin Sui out of his position.

Everyone was waiting for Li Xiaoya to brush her teeth and wash her face, and also waiting for Master Shengda to get excited and insist on combing Li Xiaoya's ponytail.

"It's a little crooked." Sheng Yuxiao put his hand away unsatisfied.

"But it's really late..." the staff said anxiously.

"Forget it, go ahead." Sheng Yuxiao threw away the comb, the hostility between his eyebrows disappeared, and he smiled at Li Xiaoya, "Wait for me to come back."

Li Xiaoya nodded, turned and left the ward.

Qin Sui was waiting in the corridor, and the staff said to him, "Thank you, thank you Mr. Qin for your understanding."

If Qin Sui came in and took Li Xiaoya away, it would definitely arouse Sheng Yuxiao's rebellious heart instantly.

Qin Sui was willing to wait outside the door, so Sheng Yuxiao became very easy to talk to.

The Maybach started quickly and slowly drove away from the county hospital.

Li Xiaoya sat in the car and took out some money and gave it to Qin Sui one by one. Qin Sui had never received such wrinkled money before, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Keep it for yourself."

"No, no." Li Xiaoya stubbornly put the money into his palm and whispered, "You can use the money to eat by yourself in the future."

Qin Sui: “…” From what I heard, you don’t want to deal with him and let him figure out his own life?

It's hard to open this little girl's heart.

The Maybach drove back to Lijia Village. As soon as it arrived at the entrance of the village, someone waved his arms and stopped the car while shouting, "Li Xiaoya! Li Xiaoya!"

"Someone is calling me." Li Xiaoya grabbed the window.

Qin Sui saw this and reached out to lower the window. Li Xiaoya looked back at him and said softly, "Thank you."

The driver slowed down the car at this time, and the person who blocked the road immediately rushed up and said, "Li Xiaoya, your grandfather asked you to go to your cousin's mother-in-law's house quickly."

"What are you going to do?" This was asked by Qin Sui.

The person who stopped him was stunned for a moment, looked at Qin Sui carefully, and then said, "Her grandfather told her to go get something. It seems to be... something that belonged to Li Xiaoya's mother before she passed away."

A light ignited in Li Xiaoya's eyes: "Mom's things?"

She happily agreed: "Okay, I'll go."

Qin Sui grabbed Li Xiaoya's arm and asked, "Whose house did you go to?"

The dialect accent was a bit heavy and Qin Sui couldn't hear it clearly.

Li Xiaoya said, "My cousin."

"How far?"

Li Xiaoya counted on his fingers and said, "It will take more than four hours to walk."

Qin Sui looked down at her thin arms and legs and asked, "Walking for more than four hours?"

"Yeah." Li Xiaoya nodded vigorously and looked at him eagerly: "I want to go down, can you help me open the door?"

Li Xiaoya doesn't know how to unbuckle her seat belt or open a car door.

Qin Sui didn't do anything, but said to the driver, "Pull the man over."

The driver was about to agree when he was pulled back by the person in the passenger seat.

The purpose of making a program is to achieve good results. The program team cannot do everything for you.

Qin Sui noticed their hesitation and said, "Exchange your points."

The staff member turned around and chuckled: "The points have been used up."

Qin Sui had only been here for two days, so it was normal that he didn't have enough points. After a little thought, he lowered his head and opened the door for Li Xiaoya.

The staff member asked, "Young Master Qin isn't going with you?"

"Go back and earn points."

While the conversation was still going on here, Li Xiaoya had already jumped out of the car and walked towards another road.

Her figure gradually turned into a small dot in the camera.

[It takes more than four hours to walk. My legs hurt just thinking about it.]

[Li Xiaoya is actually quite pitiful, alas]

[He also shared money with Qin Sui, and he obviously has a good personality]

【The photographer didn’t follow? 】

The audience raised questions, and then they remembered that the protagonists of this show were originally Sheng Yuxiao and Li Qingqing. Now Qin Sui was added. Li Xiaoya had nothing to do with the show, and was dragged into the show by Sheng Yuxiao.

【Waiting for Lai Siu-ya to come back】

[1. It’s actually quite interesting to see Qin Sui being humiliated by her]

The direction of the program is quietly changing.

The director monitored the online public opinion and thought to himself, if he had known this would happen, why would he change the person? But now this is a coincidence, and the show has a different effect!

At this time, the assistant director also came over and asked in a low voice: "Should we just let the photographer go?"

The chief director waved his hand and said, "Let them feel sorry for Li Xiaoya, that's fine."

The assistant director hesitated and said, "Those rumors about Li Xiaoya before, are they...false?"

The chief director nodded: "It's possible, but it's none of our business."

"If Young Master Sheng wants to help Li Xiaoya clear his name in the future..." The assistant director paused, then suddenly realized, "That would be even more effective for the show, damn it!"

The director smiled and nodded again.

The assistant director was amazed: "It has to be you!" and then he didn't mention Li Siu-Yak anymore.

Li Xiaoya walked a long way out before she remembered that she had forgotten to ask them to help feed the chickens and pigs. But it was just one meal... She should be able to come back before dark.

Li Xiaoya's steps became faster.

The road to my cousin's mother-in-law's house was all dirt. When Li Xiaoya arrived there, his shoes and body were covered with mud.

She carefully pushed open a large iron gate and walked into the yard. The yard was paved with cement, and Li Xiaoya was a little afraid to step on it, for fear that her cousin's grandmother would get angry and not give her her mother's things.

"Little Duck is here?" Today, her cousin-in-law was particularly enthusiastic. She came out and held her hand, "Come on, let's go in and talk."

When Li Xiaoya was led into the house, he found that the lights were not on.

My cousin's aunt turned around and closed the door before she touched the light cord on the wall. When she pulled the cord, the incandescent light came on, which was a bit dazzling.

Li Xiaoya closed her eyes instinctively, and when she opened them again, she could see clearly who was sitting in the living room.

Her scalp tightened and she turned around to crawl, but her cousin's wife caught her in her arms and held her up. Her legs were dangling in the air and she could not run away no matter how she struggled.

My cousin's grandmother said with a smile: "Why are you running away, kid? You haven't seen your cousin's family for a long time."

Every Chinese New Year, Li Xiaoya would meet this distant cousin.

Her cousin would touch her head with a smile, hand her a red envelope, and say, "Would you like to live a good life with your uncle?"

At that time, Li Xiaoya didn't understand what it meant.

Later, the children in the village gathered around her, pointing and laughing at her: "Oh! Oh! Li Xiaoya is going to be sold by her grandfather! Sold to the cripple as his wife!"

Li Xiaoya was very scared and told the teacher.

The next day, my uncle came again. He was very angry and cursed, "Your teacher from the city is here to teach. Do you know what teaching is? He will leave after two years. I tell you, no one can protect you for the rest of your life!"

After saying that, the cousin slapped her in the face.

The heavy slap made her ears buzz.

My nose and ears were bleeding.

She stood there and called "Grandpa", and Grandpa sat on the doorstep, puffing on his pipe, and sighed, "Little duck, it's not easy for Grandpa to raise you alone..."

Later on, it was the little Li Xiaoya who raised Grandpa Li.

My uncle never showed up again.

It was so long that Lai Siu-ya was about to forget him.

Until this moment.

The memory of that slap was instantly evoked, and Li Xiaoya's head started buzzing again.

She clenched her fingers and said, "I want to go home."

My uncle stood up and walked over, took her from my aunt's hand, and smiled with his eyes narrowed. At first glance, he looked like a kind elder.

"What home are you going back to? I'm living in the city with my uncle. The car is right outside."

Li Xiaoya resisted the urge to tremble. She shouted, "I want to go home. If I don't, someone will come looking for me!"
