Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Chapter 302 The Original Intention of Hai Xuewu

At that time, there were already a few servants waiting at the gate of the Xiang family. As they were looking around, they heard clear laughter and chatter flowing out like a stream.

"Big sister! Big sister!"

Before Xu Yiyi could even search, a small figure dressed in an indigo robe came running over and nearly bumped into her.

Sanchuan tilted his little face up, his eyes sparkling, with a few ink stains on his forehead.

"Run slower."

Xu Yi smiled as she looked at the ink spots on his forehead and took out a handkerchief. "Did you doze off while writing?"

San Chuan snorted, "No, it was thrown by a classmate."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and excitedly tugged at his older sister's sleeve, "Big sister, the teacher said there will be a monthly exam! It will test the first twenty chapters of the Analects and the Thousand Character Classic!"

Xu Yiyi took the book bag from his shoulder; it was heavy, presumably containing many books.

"Then you'd better study hard."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of osmanthus sugar from the sachet and handed it over.

With candy in his mouth, Sanchuan's cheeks bulged, and he continued speaking indistinctly.

"Big sister, what brings you here to pick me up?"

San Chuan was a little puzzled, as the restaurant would usually be busy by this time.

"Today is a little special. Do you remember the one that Zhan Jilan was looking for?"

Xu Yi continued to address him by his full name, and San Chuan calmly nodded.

The pageboy, A Yuan, glanced curiously at the door, for it was rare to see someone address his mother by her full name.

“That guy became a pirate. Lately, I’ve had a feeling that someone is watching us. I’m worried it’s him.”

Xu Yiyi thought to herself, "It was probably him at the dock a while ago."

"You all need to be careful during this time, and don't get separated from others."

She instructed him, "Don't tell Sihai when you get back!"

Sanchuan mumbled through his candy, "Why? Why can't we tell Sihai?"

Xu Yiyi, holding Sanchuan's little hand, turned a corner and instead of going straight back to the restaurant, went to the dock.

"If that kid finds out, he'll definitely yell about going to teach them a lesson, you know that."

San Chuan nodded upon hearing this, agreeing that it was indeed possible. Why did Si Hai learn martial arts?

Besides his own liking for it, another major reason was that he wanted to protect them.

One night, when everyone was asleep, Sihai couldn't sleep and ran to the yard to practice with his spear. Sanchuan asked him why he was working so hard to learn martial arts.

What did the child say again?

If I had known martial arts that day, I could have killed that bastard Xie Yushu, and my second sister wouldn't have been taken away.

As the child spoke, he brandished a spear taller than himself, his arms trembling from the force of the blows.

Just you wait, Third Brother! When I grow up to be as tall as Brother Anyang, I'll definitely protect you all.

They spoke with unwavering conviction throughout the land.

Sanchuan can still recall the scene to this day, and Sihai's eyes were bright when he said those words.

I thought it was just a passing fancy for the kid, but I didn't expect him to actually stick with it.

Whenever there's free time, you can always see him practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

……

"Did she notice something? Or did she discover us?"

Gao Haoming was completely confused. The two of them decided to split up, one to catch Er'er and the other to catch Sanchuan.

Who would have thought that someone would come to pick them up?

"No! We've already been very careful."

Xu Wenli shook his head slightly, seeing Gao Haoming's impatience, and calmly said.

"Don't worry, no matter how careful she is, there will always be times when she makes a mistake."

The two returned to the teahouse and gulped down a large mouthful of water.

"Why be so cautious? If you ask me, just robbing is better than anything else..."

Gao Haoming retorted defiantly, "The restaurant is full of the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. What can she do to me?"
