Under Li Xiyue's threats and with the help of the villagers, and with Xu Yongshun's cooperation, Xu Xinguo and his wife finally agreed to give the three sisters an old house.
But the couple refused to give any money, and finally only agreed to let the three sisters take their belongings, including the bag of cotton and cloth they had collected.
Everyone helped the three sisters move their belongings out and cleaned the old house.
Li Xiyue applied medicine to Pandi and bandaged her wound before looking around at the cramped and dilapidated house.
It was a tiled house, most of the tiles were broken, and the mud walls were pitted and uneven. There were only two small rooms, one main room and one bedroom, and there wasn't even a kitchen.
"Isn't this too dilapidated?" Li Xiyue said. "Can anyone live in this?"
Xu Yongshun patted the dirt off his hands. "It's alright. I'll have a few people turn over the tiles, plaster the walls a bit, and build a stove. We can live here for now. After this winter, we'll fix it properly next spring."
After saying that, he went to find someone.
Li Xiyue thought to herself that Xu Yongshun, the Party Secretary, was quite good when he wasn't trying to smooth things over.
Of course, we also have to thank Su Fengying, such a good daughter-in-law. Marrying a virtuous wife is indeed a good choice.
“Sister, we are very content with this shabby house,” Pandi said.
She would be content as long as she could escape her parents and younger brother, stop being beaten and scolded, and have a place to stay.
Besides, she and her sister hid the money they earned and the ten yuan they found yesterday well, so their parents didn't find out. They now have a huge sum of over ten yuan, enough for the three of them to get through the winter.
Li Xiyue knew that it was already difficult for them to leave home, and this was a good start. She believed that the lives of these three children would get better and better in the future.
"Sister, thank you." Pandi knelt down with her two younger sisters.
Li Xiyue quickly helped the child up, asking, "What are you doing?"
“If it weren’t for my sister, we wouldn’t have been able to move out so easily. If we hadn’t moved out, we would have been beaten to death sooner or later. It was my sister who saved our lives,” Pandi said, wiping away her tears.
Li Xiyue wiped away their tears, pretending not to know that they could make money, "Even though you've moved out, how will you manage in the future?"
“Sister, we can weave baskets, and we can barely make ends meet by exchanging them for food and money. I can also work to earn work points. Anyway, it will definitely be better than staying at home,” Pandi said.
"That's good." Li Xiyue thought of something and said, "Although you've moved out, it's best to cut ties with your family if you have the chance, so that your parents won't have other ideas after you've settled down."
“I’ve got it.” Pandi nodded.
Li Xiyue continued, "Keep a low profile in everything you do. Remember not to tell anyone your secrets, no matter how good your relationship is. Also, don't flaunt your wealth. Even if you have money, don't let anyone know. It's best to make people think you're not doing well."
The three Pandi sisters kept it in mind.
Li Xiyue had given them all the necessary instructions and knew they had money. The only concern was the safety of the three girls. After thinking for a moment, she added, "Why don't you do what I did and get a dog to guard the house?"
"Great! If we could raise a smart and understanding dog like Xiaobai, we wouldn't be afraid anymore." Pandi patted Xiaobai's head.
Little Whitey whimpered twice. "That's impossible. It's the smartest dog in the world. No other dog can compare to it."
Li Xiyue smiled and said, "There just happened to be a female dog in the village who had puppies. Why don't you go and bring one back? If you raise it from a puppy, it will be more affectionate."
"Thank you, sister, we understand."
After Li Xiyue left, the three sisters held hands and circled around the room a few times, as happy as birds released from their cages.
They dreamed about their future lives, their faces filled with longing and anticipation, their hearts brimming with beautiful hopes.
Back at the clinic, Erniu was already there.
