Chapter 723: The Beggar Begging for Food
Everyone was upset about Si Xiaohui stealing money, but after discussing it, they decided not to report it to the police. Doing so would make the villagers laugh at them, and their loss would be greater than the lesson Si Xiaohui learned from this.
Let’s just think of it as Si Chen and Si Boyi’s final fraternal affection for Si Xiaohui.
Everyone was not too affected by Si Xiaohui’s actions. After all, a few hundred yuan wasn’t a considerable sum to them.
After a good day’s rest, they set off for Kyoto the next day.
Originally, Tong Yao planned to stay in the village for a while to take care of the fruit trees on the back mountain. Si Chen, concerned about her being alone, didn’t allow her to stay.
This was the first time Tong Yao and the children had been apart for so long. As soon as they saw Tong Yao, Si Yang and Tong Yue ran up to her. They insisted on sleeping with her at night. Having not seen the children for a while, Tong Yao missed them a bit. The family slept together happily that night, and even though it was a bit crowded, they were all very happy.
Early the next morning, the two children woke up but thoughtfully did not disturb Tong Yao’s sleep, allowing her to sleep in comfortably.
Guo Jinnian was preoccupied with buying a house and getting married. Early in the morning, she invited Tong Yao to go house hunting with her.
