Just thinking about repairing the house, a storm occurred not long ago that finally fulfilled José's wish. Half of the wall of the dilapidated mud and thatched roof house suddenly collapsed in the middle of the night, which turned out to be the wall of the room where Selena was sleeping.
That day Selena went to bed early after taking a bath, but she suddenly woke up when she heard thunder in the middle of the night. The thunder was particularly terrifying, and she couldn't help but think of an incident in her previous life. At that time, the wall of her room collapsed during a storm. Although she was not crushed, she was hit by rocks several times and her arms were scratched. She was really scared and her body was covered in mud and water and she was very embarrassed, she cried for two nights.
Selena did not want to suffer this fate again in this life, so she quickly put on her embroidered shoes, grabbed a pillow and ran to her parents' room, and finally managed to get into her mother's quilt. A loud noise not long after, followed by a crash. A loud noise woke up even Joseph, who was sleeping soundly. José and María hurriedly put on their coats and went to Selena's room to take a look. Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, her daughter was afraid of thunder and she ran to her room, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable.
The two returned to the room, but Selena was sleeping soundly on her mother's quilt, her face was white and rosy, and her silky hair was neatly tied to the side. Maria went to bed and kissed her daughter's face, then she took out the money she had saved and counted it, they had saved almost 50 silver coins in the last two months.
Maria always wanted to build a solid house of blue bricks. She had previously estimated that it would cost around 60 silver coins. After saving for so long, she was still short 10 silver coins. Mary sighed and spoke quietly with Joseph. She did not sleep until dawn.
Selena slept soundly at night and woke up feeling refreshed in the morning. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she went to the kitchen and took some eggs from the basket, then cracked them into a bowl, stirred them, and then fried them A plate of fragrant scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Just when the food was ready, she washed her hands and was about to go out into the yard to see if Joseph, who had gone out to look for someone, had returned, she saw a stealthy figure at the edge of the fence. She walked, looked towards the courtyard. There was still a gloating smile on her face. When Selena saw this person, she turned her face away from him with disgust in her eyes.
This guy is none other than Uncle Roberto's son, his older cousin Javier. He is two years older than Selena and this year he turns fourteen. His older aunt spoils him very much and his step-grandmother kicked them out of her house. Javier's "contribution" is among them. Selena also looks bad when she thinks about him.
Sure enough, the annoying voice came: "Haha, I don't know whose house collapsed. I didn't expect it to be yours. But this mud house has been in ruins for decades. It's not a loss for you to live in it for so long
time".
Selena's eyes were so angry that she stared at the face that was exactly the same as her uncle. She suddenly remembered something, which was the gold that Lucio secretly threw to his family that day. In her previous life, no gold was found in her house, otherwise her father José would not have risked smuggling furs, so this has always made Selena very strange.
However, after meeting Javie, she suddenly remembered that Javie was always wandering around her house in her previous life. Not long after, she suddenly became rich and then went to the city to buy a store. His life became increasingly prosperous. and her family, and they seem even poorer and more distressed by comparison.
If her guess was correct, it was very likely that Javie would collect the gold back then. Thinking of this, Selena's eyes when she looked at him were almost frozen, but Javier was so shameless that when he saw Selena looking at him, he originally imagined that he would reach out, pull her hair, and run like he did months ago, watching her scream. But he was stunned before extending his hand to her.
They haven't seen each other for a few months, but this stinky girl seems to have changed. Although she wasn't ugly in the past, she was very inconspicuous in the rough gray clothes she wore all day. Now, she suddenly discovered that she was much more pleasing to the eye and her big staring eyes were surprisingly attractive.
Javier's eyes fell on the light pink linen skirt that Selena was wearing, and he immediately understood that it was because the clothes she was wearing were better. He rolled his eyes and said suddenly.
"Hahaha, your house has collapsed, but you, a poor girl, still have such thoughts of shows off. Hum, I will definitely tell my dad when he comes back. Then you won't even be able to ask for a cent. Even if you kneel…"
She finished speaking arrogantly. He raised his head, as if he expected Selena to kneel and cry to beg him.
Selena was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Of course she knew, even if she knelt in front of them like a beggar, Uncle and the others would not give her money. Selena already understood this after experiencing countless bloody lessons.
So when he heard Javier's threats, he was not afraid, he even deliberately said: "Yes, why didn't I think of this method? Then I will listen to you. We will go there after breakfast later. Don't worry, We don't borrow money from your family. We just need to ask for a room, if you don't take us in, my parents and I will lie down in front of your house. And never leave!"
After saying that, she unceremoniously closed the door and locked it, without even looking at the angry Javier, she turned around and entered the house.
Javier was so angry that he left him outside, no one answered him and he had to leave. Joseph and Mary returned shortly after, Joseph also had a small jar of milk in his hand, Selena quickly took it and brought it to a boil, when she boiled, she sprinkled some ground sesame powder and filled three bowls.
🎄🎄Merry Christmas!🥳🥳
