Tiancai Monopoly Of Hokage
Chapter 52 A Difficult Life! (410)
Seeing this depressed and dilapidated scene and hearing this shocking tragedy, Tiancai asked.
"So what do you eat on weekdays?"
"Everyone eats vegetables and grains grown at home and does not spend money outside."
"Even if you have a little money."
Xiaoya clapped her fingers and scolded everything, "I also need to use it to buy salt, clothes, and tools..."
"Because those things are very expensive, right?" Tiancai suddenly understood why the place was so poor.
Xiaoya hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Things shipped from outside are very expensive, and we can't ship things here. We don't have money to buy things, so we can only save as much as possible."
"That's why you're looking for guests from out of town on the street."
Tiancai immediately understood why this little girl was soliciting customers from out of town on the street.
He reminded Xiaoya, "Of course it's right to help the family, but you are still too young. When soliciting guests, you must be careful of bad guys."
Xiaoya smiled and said obediently, "My mother told me the same thing. She didn't want me to go to the streets. There were too many people on the streets and it was unsafe."
She wrinkled her small nose, "But I am already eleven years old. I have grown up. I have to take care of my mother."
She said with a proud tone, "I am very smart, I can distinguish who is a good person and who is a bad person."
Along the way, Xiaoya took Tiancai through several alleys and came to a deserted street.
The streets are dilapidated and deserted on both sides, with two rows of wooden houses facing each other, and various signboards hanging at the door. You can vaguely see some of the liveliness that once existed.
“It wasn’t like this here before.”
Xiaoya frowned, "We were not so poor before, and the market was still very lively. When everyone went to the market, there were many people visiting the nearby shops."
Her voice sounded sad, "Now, most of them have moved away. There is no business in the store, and everyone has gone back to the countryside. My friends have also gone back to the countryside."
Tiancai comforted softly, "Everything will be fine."
"I saw a bridge being built at the pier. I believe the bridge will be built soon. When the bridge is built, everything will be fine.
"Things shipped from outside will become cheaper, and things from here can also be shipped out. The shops will become lively again, and your friends will also come back from the countryside.
"Yeah." Xiaoya nodded vigorously,
She said excitedly, "I also heard that a very big bridge is being built at the pier.
She stretched out her hands and made a big, big image with her hands.
"but,"
She was a little depressed again, "I also heard that the bridge often stops working and bad people want to destroy the bridge."
Tiancai stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiaoya's head, "I'm sure the bridge will be built soon."
Xiaoya's mood rose, with a smile on her face, and she said optimistically, "When the bridge is built, everything will be fine."
"That's my home."
Xiaoya pulled Tiancai's sleeve and walked towards a small shop on the corner.
At the entrance of the small shop, there is a semi-old signboard, "Sakura Flower House"
Although the shop is not big, it is decorated in a unique style.
Sakura flower embroidery hangs on the wall, and a beautiful Sakura flower screen separates the shop into two worlds with different temperaments.
After entering the shop, Xiaoya shouted loudly in a clear voice, "Mom, a customer is here."
She yelled and ran to the counter.
She took out a teacup and found an iron teapot from under the counter.
She poured Tiancai a cup of tea.
"The tea seems to have gone cold,"
She touched the teapot and found it was indeed cold.
She stuck out her tongue and said sheepishly, "I'm going to make some tea again." "
Tiancai held down the teapot and said with a smile, "No, the weather is very hot, it's good to drink something cold.
Xiaoya was a little hesitant, "But, that's not good...serving guests with cold tea..."
At this moment, there were footsteps coming from the back room.
An elegant and calm woman with long braids limped out.
Seeing the woman, Xiaoya immediately rushed forward. "She asked anxiously.
"Mom, why are you hurt? What happened?"
"Nothing."
The woman comforted Xiaoya and said softly, "My mother accidentally fell when she was going downstairs and sprained her foot.
"Is it really okay?"
There was some doubt in Xiaoya's eyes, and she looked at her mother worriedly.
"Of course it's okay."
The woman said with certainty.
She walked to Tiancai's side with a smile on her face and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Hello, guest, I am Xiaoya's mother Miwako. If you are hungry, guest, I will go cook now."
Tiancai looked at Xiaoya's mother.
There was a bit of nervousness and worry on her smiling face, and her body movements were a bit stiff. It didn't look like the injury was just a fall.
"Mom, is that Kado Company making trouble again? It must be those bastards who want to take away our shop.
Xiaoya didn't believe 153's mother's statement, so she asked again.
Miwako's smile froze on her face.
She slowly turned around and looked at her daughter, her tone was slightly trembling, "Xiaoya, we may have to move and leave here.
The sudden news made Xiaoya unable to recover, "Move, leave here? Where are we going?"
Xiaoya seemed at a loss, "Mom, do we really want to leave here? Where can we go? We have no relatives in the countryside."
"We have nowhere to go."
There was a cry in Xiaoya's voice.
“Other shops on this street have been sold to them, and there is nothing we can do.
There was deep helplessness hidden in Miwako's words.
Xiaoya couldn't accept it and said, "But the money offered by Kaduo Company is simply an open robbery. Their bid is not even one-tenth of the price of the shop."
Miwako shook her head helplessly, "They are robbing openly, but there is nothing we can do now. There has been no business in this street for a long time, and everyone has moved away.
"Everyone can no longer afford to eat, and the store cannot continue to open."
"I can go to the street to attract customers." Xiaoya said with persistence in her tone.
