Chapter 14: I will work hard

Si Si didn’t want to trouble Tang Xu: “Senior, I’ll just take a taxi.”

Tang Xu finally got the chance to be alone with Si Si, how could he give up like this?

Under his insistence, Si Si got into his car helplessly.

On the way, Tang Xu asked with concern: “Such a big thing happened in your family, is there anyone to help you?”

He knew in his heart that this topic might be Si Si’s injury, but he couldn’t help but want to ask.

Si Si pondered for a long time in front of the French window yesterday, and she was able to face reality directly, so she did not avoid this question.

“When this happened, many people avoided me, fearing that they would be implicated, so how could they be willing to help me?” Si Si smiled self-deprecatingly.

Hearing Si Si say these words, Tang Xu instinctively thought that Si Si was in a very depressed mood at the moment. Soon, he heard the latter continue to say:

“Don’t worry, senior, I will work hard to change the current situation. I will live a good life in the future and not let my parent’s hard work go to waste.”

Such a strong girl made Tang Xu feel more distressed.

He was even angry that he had no ability. If he could, he wanted to share the burden for Si Si.

The two just briefly talked about their recent situation, when Tang Xu’s car had already stopped near the mall.

Tang Xu wanted to invite Si Si to have lunch together, but seeing that she was in a hurry to go back, she must have something urgent to deal with, so he suppressed this thought.

Si Si and Tang Xu exchanged contact information, then got out of the car and returned to her temporary bedroom on the top floor.

As soon as she opened the door, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

The open space in the room was filled with various antique vases, and there were several bundles of calligraphy and paintings piled in the corners…

Si Si couldn’t help but exclaim: “Oh my God, this is too much.”

With so many things, it would take her a while to sell them in an antique shop. Moreover, it would be difficult for her to take out too many valuable items at once.

As the saying goes, things were valuable because they were rare. Although the antiques from Daqi Kingdom were more valuable here, there was no guarantee that they would not drop in price if there were too many.

And the most important issue was safety. If people knew that she had so many antiques, wouldn’t she be targeted by someone with ulterior motives?

Si Si’s mood at the moment can be described as mixed.

The good news was that these antiques could be sold at a high price, which should not be a problem in alleviating the crisis in the mall.

The worry was that these vases were not small. How can she transport them one by one to sell?

If someone targets her, let alone get the money, her life may be lost……

Regardless of that, Si Si put down her backpack and carefully placed these antiques neatly against the wall. After busying herself, she finally had a place to stay in the room.

Just as they were getting ready, the two little ones showed up at the right time.

The two wore another set of ancient costumes today, the same as yesterday. Although the material and workmanship looked exquisite, they were all dirty.

Before Si Si could speak, the two little ones hugged her arms on the left and right.

Xiao Qing raised her head and stared at her with big eyes like black grapes: “Sister, where have you been? My brother and I came here many times but didn’t see you.”

“I went out to do something. I knew you would be worried, so I came back early.”

While talking, Si Si took out the clothes that were washed for the two children last night, helped them change, and threw the clothes that were so dirty that the original color could not be seen into the washing machine for washing.

After finishing the work, Si Si pulled the two of them to sit on the soft big bed, and then pointed at the bottles and decorations on the ground: “Are these all given to me by your uncle?”

Xiao Mujin nodded like a little adult: “Sister, uncle heard that you needed these, and sent someone to move them to our room overnight. Qing’er and I just woke up and sent them to you.”

Si Si felt that Prince Rong was sincere. Looking at the pile of bottles and decorations, he must have emptied the entire prince’s mansion……

Just as she was thinking, Xiao Qing handed her a recorder: “Sister, uncle has something to say to you.”

Si Si took the recorder and played the content in front of the two little ones.

She doesn’t know if it was a psychological effect. She knew that Qi Mohan had received food and water, so he would eat his fill. When she heard his voice again, it was much richer than last night, and he no longer felt powerless.

At the same time, Si Si could also feel that Qi Mohan was very polite when he spoke to her.

Although she lived in an era of equality for all, she had watched a lot of costume TV dramas and novels.

The ancient system of high and low was definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

As a high and mighty prince, he could lower himself to be so polite to a girl like her, which was enough to prove that the latter was grateful to her.

From this point of view, Si Si’s impression of Qi Mohan was improved invisibly.

Just imagine, that in a period of water shortage and food shortage, people can hardly protect themselves. From ancient times to the present, how many people can do what Qi Mohan did, and would rather sacrifice their lives to stand together with the people under their rule?

Si Si’s impression of Qi Mohan was getting better and better, and she was more willing to meet the requests made by him.

Not only because of this but also because Qi Mohan asked the two children to bring her so many antiques.

She listened to Qi Mohan’s words carefully twice, and as for those words with a sense of gratitude, she just passed them by, Si Si thought seriously more about the water source problem mentioned by the latter.

The mall does store a lot of mineral water in the warehouse.

Although the amount of mineral water was large, it can be used for temporary emergencies. However, considering that there were tens of thousands of people in Qiushui City waiting for water, these mineral waters can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

If the mall was suspended, Si Si has no plan to open for business until those debts were fully paid off.

In this case, if she buys a large amount of mineral water, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from those who are interested.

To avoid trouble for herself in the future, Si Si thinks it is not appropriate to buy a large amount of mineral water in the supermarket.

But if not, how to provide Qi Mohan with a large amount of water?

Just when Si Si was in a dilemma, she turned around and suddenly saw the two little ones running to the bathroom to wash their hands.

Si Si suddenly felt enlightened.

Qi Mohan lacked water, so they had to find a way to get tap water. This way, they could not only save expenses but also have as much as they wanted, without having to worry about the problem of out-of-stock.

Thinking of this, Si Si immediately went downstairs and got a several-meter-long water hose and a large plastic bucket from the Japanese kitchenware section.

She planned to let the two little ones pull one end of the water hose back through the door, and if the other end of the water hose went through, she could directly connect the hose to the faucet to supply Qi Mohan with unlimited water.

If not, she can only use the most stupid method, which is to carry the buckets back and forth.
