CHAPTER 144: CHAPTER 143: IS THIS SPACE A MONEY-EATING BEAST?

What Little Tiger was thinking was, this is my sister.

So when Zhao Erya told him that Sanyan was born in February, Little Tiger was taken aback.

Thinking that he himself was born in March, he burst into tears.

Zhao Erya had just told Sanyan to take care of the little brother Tiger in the future, then heard Little Tiger crying with grievance.

Sanyan leaned over, "Little brother Tiger, don’t cry."

"Wah..."

Upon hearing Sanyan call him little brother, Little Tiger cried even louder.

He lost his sister, but gained a little short sister.

"Why is she older than me? I want to be the big brother!"

"Tiger, be good. When the baby in auntie’s belly comes out, then you can be the big brother." The old Sun lady smiled to comfort her grandson.

"I don’t care, I don’t want her to call me little brother."

She’s so short, why should she be the sister?

Sun Fengshou glared at Little Tiger, has he had enough of this?

Little Tiger immediately heeded his father’s warning, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and took a big gulp of porridge as if nothing happened.

Yu Xiaolian: "..."

Everything that happened just now was an illusion, right? It was an illusion, right?

If it wasn’t an illusion, then her brother was really quite dramatic.

So effortlessly!

After the meal, Zhao Sanyan stayed close to Zhao Erya, wherever Zhao Erya went, she followed, and refused to play with Little Tiger.

This child is introverted!

Yu Xiaolian found Little Tiger and gave him a handful of pistachios, telling him to go play with Sanyan.

Little Tiger stared at the pistachios, grinned widely, and ran off to find Zhao Sanyan.

Zhao Erya was helping the old Sun lady massage her shoulders, with Zhao Sanyan standing beside her.

"Here!" Little Tiger held out his hand, with five or six pistachios lying in it.

Zhao Sanyan didn’t take them and hid behind Zhao Erya. Little brother Tiger was a crybaby, if she took his food, he would surely cry.

"I don’t want it!"

"These are pistachios, you know why they’re called pistachios? Because if you eat them, you’ll become happy.

Your parents don’t want you, right? You’re definitely feeling sad, eat one and cheer up a bit."

Little Tiger imitated how Yu Xiaolian had instructed him, peeled open a pistachio from the seam and without hesitation fed the kernel into Zhao Sanyan’s mouth.

Zhao Sanyan held the kernel in her mouth, didn’t dare to chew it, planning to spit it out if Little Tiger started crying.

After waiting for a while, Little Tiger didn’t cry, finally Sanyan tentatively chewed and ate the kernel.

"It’s really tasty!" Zhao Sanyan smiled shyly.

Little Tiger showed a proud expression, "See, you smiled! I told you eating them would make you happy, I wasn’t lying! Let me give you two more... All these are for you! Open them like this..."

Sanyan, who had previously been shadowing Zhao Erya, was soon coaxed away by Little Tiger.

Where did she go?

To the courtyard next door, to show off the pistachios.

"Hahaha... eating these pistachios does make one happy..."

Yu Xiaolian listened to the loud laughter coming from the next courtyard, and began to doubt the pistachios.

The happiness of children is so simple, a single pistachio can keep them entertained for half a day.

Yu Xiaolian noticed that the two camphor wood boxes were missing. She asked her mom, "Did people from the Xu Family come to take the boxes?"

Sun nodded, "They took them."

Remembering how Xu Lao Da was so smug when he pushed the cart to retrieve the boxes yesterday, boasting about how his father had found a husband for Xu Shi in the town, even asking Sun Fengshou when he could manage to get married, Sun felt a surge of anger.

No one in the Xu Family was any good, all bad seeds.

What rich family in town would want a woman abandoned by her husband’s family?

Rich family? Bah, who knows what kind of pit that is!

However, Sun didn’t plan to tell her daughter about these things, it would only ruin her mood for nothing.

Yu Xiaolian called her parents and uncle into the room and brought out the map of Great Liang’s mountains and rivers, pointed with her finger at the route, "We’ll keep heading south from here, approximately four hundred miles, and we’ll reach Bohai City. From Bohai to Lu State, there are two routes. It’s about a two hundred mile linear water route, but we don’t have a boat nor do we know if there are any boats to carry passengers.

There’s also a land route which is much longer, ten times the water route in distance."

Ten times longer means about two thousand miles, with the carriage heavy-laden, it’s estimated to cover only a hundred miles a day at best, and even slower if the roads are bad.

Moreover, the horses need to rest every three hours, otherwise they’ll be exhausted to death.

"Then we should first head to Bohai, see if we can go by water - that’d be ideal. If not, we’ll take the land route," said Sun Fengshou.

Yu Changhe spoke up, "The carriage can’t afford to go too fast, your mom and grandma can’t handle the bumps; going slow is fine, we’ll treat it like sightseeing."

"Exactly, that’s what I mean," Yu Xiaolian laughed, feeling the delight of Emperor Qianlong traveling to Jiangnan.

After all, they had money and time, and were together as a family, it was literally the life of an Immortal!

The family agreed to leave in a few days once old lady Sun’s health improved.

But Yu Xiaolian soon stopped feeling so happy.

At night, she was dumbfounded staring at the empty spot for storing things.

Where’s her silver? Gold? Silver notes?

All fifty thousand taels were gone!

She’s only left with a pile of Copper Coins and two small broken silver pieces.

What’s going on? Yu Xiaolian was a bit frantic.

Before, she hadn’t noticed the silver missing? Or was it because her silver wasn’t enough to reach fifty thousand taels before, so the space wasn’t worthy to be seen?

Ah, it’s driving her crazy, is this space a gold-eating monster?

No, her silver can’t just disappear, the space must have upgraded.

Where has the change occurred?

Yu Xiaolian started searching through the supermarket.

Later she found the pile of trash at the corner of the supermarket gone, including the empty bottles of Old Bai Gan liquor, and the empties of shampoo and conditioner she put there a few days ago, all disappeared.

Were those fifty thousand taels a garbage disposal fee?

This fee is way too high, she wanted to cry!

Price hike, next time she sold stuff she must raise the price.

Yu Xiaolian prowled the supermarket, feeling something else must’ve upgraded secretly, which she hadn’t discovered.

Passing by the fruit section, she grabbed a sugar tangerine and started eating.

A magical scene occurred!

As she was peeling the still-held sugar tangerine and hadn’t eaten it yet, another one visibly appeared on the shelf.

Yu Xiaolian seemed to have discovered a new world, picked up a big durian, and noticed another durian appeared on the shelf.

Whoa, it updates before midnight, real-time too, doesn’t that mean she’ll never run out?

Oh, value!

Yu Xiaolian no longer felt heartache over the fifty thousand taels, nor did she curse the space for being a gold-eating monster.

Casually, she placed the sugar tangerine peel on the shelf, watching it unblinkingly.

Trash, not gone yet?

Yu Xiaolian moved the sugar tangerine peel to throw it in the corner where she usually put empty bottles, and she discovered the tangerine peel visibly vanished before her eyes.

Ah, seems like this is a fixed trash recycling station from now on.

Wonder if a person would disappear if they step on it, Yu Xiaolian grew curious and stepped up.

No reaction!

The next morning, Yu Xiaolian cheerfully told Yu Changhe and Sun about this.

Though Yu Changhe and Sun felt sad about the silver, they thought about their current quick earnings, they could simply sell a set of plastic toys when they arrived in Bohai City.
