Chapter 1828: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (32)

There were more than a hundred likes and forty to fifty comments on the video.

“Oh my god, is this the sound of nature?”

“From the back, she looks like a young girl, right? But she sang so well!”

“The beautiful and moving song, together with the natural environment, feels like a painting!”

“An old auntie like me has decided to be a fan of this young lady!”

“When will you upload a new video? I’ve already repeated this song countless times.”

“Ah! Where did this little angel come from!”

Most of the comments were praising Xia Cha, but there were also some that were not very friendly.

“This is obviously packaged by a team. Look at the clothes she’s wearing. How can young girls wear such old clothes nowadays? It’s obvious that she’s deliberately attracting attention.”

“She only dares to show her back view. Either she looks terrible, or she’s not actually singing.”

Xia Cha did not delete the bad comments. She simply replied, “The new video will be recorded the day after tomorrow. Thank you for your love.”

After urning off the video, Xia Cha fell asleep with a smile on her lips.

In the first week after moving to their new home, the family repaired the dilapidated house and tidied up the yard that was full of weeds.

During this period, Xia Cha went to Yan City with Xia Chuan.

After singing three songs, she earned yet another three thousand dollars.

The courtyard at home had been tidied up and Xia Lan had made a swing. Qiu Zhi knew that Xia Cha liked flowers and arranged a small flowerbed for her. Xia Cha went to the mountain to dig wild flowers and planted them in the small flowerbed.

The courtyard was surrounded by carved bamboo and Qiu Zhi clean up the area. In the evening, the family sat in front of the small wooden table, eating and chatting, listening to the birds chirping and frogs croaking, and enjoying the cool night breeze from the mountains. Although they weren’t rich yet, they felt warm and comfortable.

Recently, with the help of Li Erzhu and Xia Chuan, Xia Zhenyuan had sorted out the places with fruit trees in the back mountain.

There were many peaches and pears.

Recently, Xia Zhenyuan had used his free time to make a lot of bamboo products. There were small bowls, chopsticks, ladles, small buckets, and mats. He planned to sell them at the county market tomorrow.

Xia Cha exclaimed when she saw what Xia Zhenyuan had made.

She did not expect her father’s skills to be so good.

“Dad, I’ll go with you tomorrow!”

Xia Zhenyuan looked at Xia Cha and shook his head. “It’s hot. You should rest at home.”

“Dad, I’ve already gotten much better. I just need more exercise to be even better!”

Recently, she had been using cucumbers to cover her face every night, and ate well. Her complexion looked much better than when she had just woken up from the car accident.

Her skin was not that yellow anymore.

Tomorrow, Xia Zhenyuan still had to pick some fruits to sell. Qiu Zhi was arranging them when she heard that Xia Cha wanted to follow. She smiled and said, “Let Cha Cha go with you. I’m still a little worried about you going alone.”

“Ah Zhi, are you afraid that I won’t be able to sell it?”

Qiu Zhi’s smile widened. “In this aspect, you can’t compare to our Cha Cha.”

Xia Zhenyuan looked at Xia Cha with pride. “It’s good that my child is smarter than me.”

Ever since they had separated from the Xia family, Xia Zhenyuan and Qiu Zhi had become more cheerful, and the smiles on their faces had gradually increased.

The next day.

Xia Cha woke up before dawn.

Qiu Zhi had already made breakfast for her and Xia Zhenyuan.

After the father and daughter finished eating, Xia Cha followed Xia Zhenyuan down the mountain.

By the time they arrived at the market in the county, it was nearly six-thirty.

Although they had arrived early, many of the stalls were already set up. The father and daughter could only find a corner for themselves.

Xia Zhenyuan arranged the items.

There were many people in the market, but very few people came to the corner.

Xia Cha shouted a few times and some people who were buying things were attracted over. But after a few glances, they left.

Seeing Xia Cha working so hard, as a father, Xia Zhenyuan had to work even harder. He also started to shout.

However, he had just shouted when he saw Xia Zhenxiang walking over.

Ever since Xia Zhenyuan stopped working in the orchard, Xia Zhenxiang had been doing Xia Zhenyuan’s work by himself in order to reduce his expenses. It was only then that he realized that how tiring the work Xia Zhenyuan had done in the past was.

Of course, he couldn’t bear it since he had not done any work since he was young. He could only hire one person, but one person could not do it, so he hired two more.

In the past, Xia Zhenyuan had done the work of three people alone.

Now, Xia Zhenxiang had to pay three salaries and his heart ached.

Originally, he was waiting for Xia Zhenyuan to go back and beg him with an ashen face. Who would have known that their family would survive on that barren mountain?

Xia Zhenyuan and Qiu Zhi did not have a source of income, and they had only taken a thousand yuan when they split from the family.

Would they only be willing to go back and beg them once they have spent that thousand dollars?

When Xia Zhenxiang saw Xia Zhenyuan bringing Xia Cha to the market to sell things, his eyes were filled with contempt.

What could Xia Zhenyuan, who did not know how to do business, sell?

Xia Zhenxiang walked in front of the stall and glanced at the things Xia Zhenyuan had sold. His lips curled into a cold sneer. “Second Brother, from this morning until now, you haven’t sold anything, right? Can the fruits you sell compare to the ones in our family’s orchard? As for these handmade products you made, look at the market, how many more people are selling these things?”

“Go home and apologize to Mom. You’ll still be fed in the future and the children can still study. If you sell these, you won’t survive long!”

Xia Zhenyuan had been bad with his words since he was young and did not know how to say anything. Xia Zhenxiang had humiliated and looked down on him, but he only blushed and did not know how to retort to his brother.

Xia Cha looked down on Xia Zhenxiang the most. He clearly wanted her father to go back to work as a coolie, but he still acted like a dignified person.

Xia Cha raised her chin and looked at Xia Zhenxiang. “Uncle, do you think my father still wants to be like you—a giant baby who can only rely on others? My father and I can sell all of these in less than a morning.”

Xia Zhenxiang looked at Xia Cha, his eyes full of disdain. “You silly girl, how dare you talk nonsense. You’ve been here for so long, has anyone bought your things?”

“Uncle, shall we make a bet?”

Xia Zhenxiang did not care about Xia Cha at all. He sneered, “You still dare to bet with me? Fine, if you can sell all of them in the morning, I’ll give you ten fruit trees. If you can’t sell all of them, how about your father work for me for a year at the orchard?”

Xia Cha curled her lips. “Not only ten fruit trees, I also want you to buy ten chickens and ten ducks for our family, and give us a pig.”

This stupid girl was quite greedy!

“Uncle, if we lose, my father will go to the orchard to work for you for a year! Think about it, my father can take on three people by himself. It’s worth it for you!”

After Xia Zhenxiang arrived at the market, he had observed Xia Cha and Xia Zhenyuan’s stall for a while. No one had bought their items at all. The little girl had made a bet that she would definitely lose.

“Alright, I’ll see how badly you two will lose!”
