The heavens set sail from the courtyard

He Jiaxi is extremely proud of herself. Not only did she buy a new house, but she also managed to get her mother-in-law to help pay off the loan. It's like she got the best house in Huainan for free without spending a penny.

However, there are still two things that bother me.

First, her husband, Yan Hongyu, was laid off. Fortunately, his company provided him with compensation, and later, Yan's mother took out some money to buy a taxi for her son.

However, this completely depleted the Yan family's savings, forcing them to tighten their belts for a period of time.

Fortunately, Yan Hongyu is hardworking, and his taxi business has been good recently. He drives a full fourteen hours a day, so he still has a good chance of making money.

The second worry was He Jiaxi's own job. She had taken over her mother's job at the soy sauce factory, but in recent years the factory's performance had been declining. Although she hadn't been laid off yet, things were getting increasingly difficult.

Two days ago, her boss asked her to go to the street to sell tea eggs and promote soy sauce at the same time.

He Jiaxi tried setting up a street stall, but it was very hard work, and she didn't want to do it at all. If it weren't for the occasional inspections by her superiors, she wouldn't bother.

As the weather gets colder, He Jiaxi gets chilblains on her hands and feet from being outside every day, and she wants to quit her job more and more, but she can't bear to give up the severance pay.

Early in the morning, He Jiaxi and Yan Hongyu went out, one to prepare to drive and the other to set up their stall.

The couple walked hand in hand towards the exit of the residential area. Yan Hongyu's car was parked outside, saving him a parking fee every day.

"The property management company in this community is going too far. They even charge for parking. I'm going to file a complaint with the neighborhood committee," He Jiaxi said, shrinking his neck.

"Forget it, the property management is just following the rules. It's fine if the car is parked outside. I found a secluded spot where the traffic police won't catch us." Yan Hongyu took out a boiled egg and stuffed it into his wife's hand.

"The eggs are freshly boiled; let them warm your hands."

He Jiaxi said with disgust, "Take it away, I feel like throwing up just from the smell of eggs."

Yan Hongyu reluctantly withdrew his hand.

"Jiaxi, why don't you quit your job? You're out in the cold all day; your body can't take it," Yan Hongyu said with concern.

“Just bear with it a little longer! We just bought a house and a car, and our family isn’t exactly well-off. If I quit my job and go home, you’ll be under even more pressure,” He Jiaxi said, shaking her head.

"I drive a taxi now, and I earn quite a bit every day, which should be enough for me."

“You’ve made a lot of money, but the car is expensive! It’ll take several years to break even,” He Jiaxi said.
"What I'm thinking is that I'll get a driver's license and drive a taxi on the night shift, so that the car never stops and I can earn more money."

Yan Hongyu shook his head and said, "It's better not to. It's quite chaotic outside right now. It's too dangerous for a woman like you if you encounter any difficult passengers."

He Jiaxi said excitedly, "Then I'll work the day shift and you work the night shift. Surely nothing will happen during the day!"

Yan Hongyu was still somewhat reluctant and said, "Let's discuss this with my mom later."

The couple walked out of the residential area and headed towards where the taxis were parked. The next moment, they both froze.

"Who did it?" He Jiaxi's small eyes widened, and he cursed, "Which bastard did it?"

The taxi in front of the couple had been splashed with a lot of feces, all four side windows were smashed, the seats inside were damaged, and feces had flowed into the car, emitting an extremely foul stench!
"Ugh." Yan Hongyu gagged and tried to open the car door to check, but He Jiaxi stopped him.

"Don't touch it, it's disgusting!" He Jiaxi shouted.

"What should we do then?!"

"Call the police! What are you waiting for?" He Jiaxi said cheerfully.

"Okay, I'll go call the police." Yan Hongyu quickly went to find the phone.

He Jiaxi stared at his beloved car, now soaked in sewage, and stood there cursing for over ten minutes, his heart aching terribly.

How much will it cost to fix this?

"Isn't that Lao Liu!" A gloating voice came from behind He Jiaxi.

He Jiaxi turned around and saw his fifth sister, Liu Xiaoling, holding his mother Liu Meixin's arm, with He Wenshi beside them. The three of them seemed to have just returned from grocery shopping.

"Sixth Brother, this is your car, it's got style!" Liu Xiaoling pinched her nose and laughed.

"Did you do it?" He Jiaxi asked angrily.

"What did you say?" Liu Xiaoling asked in surprise, "What did I do?"

"It must be you who damaged my car." He Jiaxi rushed over, wanting to teach Liu Xiaoling a lesson.

"He Jiaxi, are you a dog? You bark at everyone you see. What do you mean I damaged your car? I didn't even know you had a car!" Liu Xiaoling sneered.

"If it's not you, then who is it?" He Jiaxi said angrily.

"How would I know? Of course, we should call the police and let them investigate," Liu Xiaoling said, taking two steps back to distance herself from He Jiaxi.
"Get away from me, you smell bad!"

He Jiaxi hesitated.

"I'm going to remember your license plate number. I'd rather die than hit your car again. It's disgusting," Liu Xiaoling said gloatingly.

He Jiaxi's chubby face was trembling with joy, but he couldn't do anything about Liu Xiaoling.

"Fifth brother, let's go back!" Liu Meixin felt heartbroken whenever she saw He Jiaxi and didn't want to stay any longer.

"Mom," He Jiaxi called out, seemingly wanting to seek help from Liu Meixin.

"Don't call me Mom. We agreed to go our separate ways. I'm not worthy to be your mother." Liu Meixin pulled He Wenshi away, not wanting to say another word to He Jiaxi.

He Jiaxi turned to look at her car again, and the more she looked at it, the more nauseous she felt, and the more she wanted to vomit.

Yan Hongyu quickly arrived with the police, but unfortunately the car was parked in a very remote spot, and no one saw who dumped the sewage.

Unlike twenty years from now, when there are cameras everywhere on the streets and the police can't find any results and can only let the matter drop.

He Jiaxi was naturally not having it and almost got into a fight with the police at the police station, but was eventually pulled away by Yan Hongyu.

As for the car, it had already been towed away by the repair shop. The tow truck driver was initially unwilling, complaining about the smell, but Yan Hongyu had no choice but to pay an extra two hundred yuan.

The repair shop quickly provided a repair list. The car had been soaked in sewage, causing many problems, but the smell was a minor one.

When Yan Hongyu saw the repair price, his vision blurred and his heart felt heavy.

We can't leave the car unrepaired, since the family relies on driving to earn money, and we have to pay for the repairs whether we want to or not.

He Jiaxi wanted to cause trouble with the property management company and ask them to compensate for the losses, but when the person in charge of the property management company heard that the car was parked outside the community when the incident happened, they didn't even bother to talk to He Jiaxi and simply "invited" her out of the office.

Yan Hongyu and He Jiaxi couldn't afford the repair costs, so they had no choice but to turn to Yan's mother.

How could Yan's mother possibly come up with any more money? She had already rented out the old house to help He Jiaxi pay off the loan, so it was absolutely impossible for her to come up with any more money.

He Jiaxi was shameless enough to go back to Liu Meixin and even went so far as to apologize by going directly to He Wenshi's house.

"Mom, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please forgive me." He Jiaxi knelt down as soon as she saw Liu Meixin, hugged her legs and cried bitterly.

Hearing He Jiaxi's crying, Liu Meixin felt annoyed and kicked her away.

"Get out! You're not welcome in my house!" (End of Chapter)
