Li Xiaoxiao unceremoniously untied the purse from Brother Hu's waist, and found that there was actually more than one or two taels of silver in it. He then untied the purses from the other two men, and found that there were only about 20 cents in total. If the brother of a concubine was so rich, it was obvious that the county magistrate had made a lot of money.

Seeing Li Xiaoxiao taking the silver, Brother Hu was angry but dared not say anything.

Li Xiaoxiao moved her mind, and three small chocolate candies appeared in her palm, and she fed one to each of them.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll spare you for now. If I see you bullying others again next time, I'll beat you up." Li Xiaoxiao warned them. She didn't know how many people these hooligans would bully, and the government didn't care, so she could only teach them a lesson.

"That won't happen, lady. When will the antidote be available? I still can't move." Although Brother Hu felt sorry for the money, his life was more important. He tried several times but couldn't move his fingers.

"It will be solved automatically in half an hour." Li Xiaoxiao was too lazy to pay attention to them anymore. She called Sun and was about to go back. Only then did Sun realize that her daughter actually knew kung fu. When did she become so powerful?

Before he had time to think about it, Li Xiaoxiao pulled him away. The weather was already a little hot. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was around ten o'clock. After walking a few steps, Li Xiaoxiao turned back.

"You have taken the antidote, but the drug is poisonous. You cannot move or let anyone move you before it is completely detoxified, otherwise you will die from the poison on the spot." Li Xiaoxiao kindly reminded, then turned and left. The three people lying on the ground wailed silently in their hearts.

Back to the market, Zhang San was still waiting there. When the time came, he hurried back. Some people missed the time or were delayed by something, so they could only walk back. Sun was still frightened, and Li Xiaoxiao comforted her all the way.

The two of them bought a lot of things. Sun was carrying the food in her hand. Li Xiaoxiao wanted to help her but Sun refused. Li Xiaoxiao carried the heavy-looking basket on her back. She was in a good mood. She had 500 coins when she came here, but after buying these things, she had more money. She was not afraid of revenge from Brother Hu. By the time Brother Hu recovered, she would have run away.

When Zhang San saw them, he hurriedly took the backpack from Li Xiaoxiao and found an open space to put it down.

“I bought so many things.”

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, there are so many things we are missing when we split up." Li Xiaoxiao helped Sun get on the ox cart and found an empty space to sit down.

After a while, Jiang came back and also bought a lot of things, big and small bags, and a big piece of pork. It was a little difficult for her to walk while carrying so many things. Li Xiaoxiao took a glance and saw that the pork looked like seven or eight pounds. Pork cost 10 wen per pound, which is 70 or 80 wen. It was her impression that the Li family would only buy so much during the Chinese New Year. When did Mrs. Li become so generous? Did she get rich?

Whenever the Li family went out to purchase groceries, it was always Jiang because they favored the fourth wife. Jiang was a shrewd woman and had received many kickbacks, otherwise where would she have gotten all the money? It was even more impossible for her parents' family to subsidize her, so she was extremely poor and still came to the Li family from time to time to beg for money.

Noticing Li Xiaoxiao's gaze, Jiang raised his chin proudly, as if to say, you are a bumpkin who has never seen the world.

On the way back, Jiang didn't talk to Li Xiaoxiao.

It was already noon when he got home. Li Xiaoxiao took out the things he bought from the backpack one by one, including a pound of pork, a few pork bones, four large meat buns, a large can of sesame oil, a large can of lard, four pounds of salt, some seasonings, a piece of fine cotton cloth, and a large bag of medicine. Li Xiaoxiao also took out a large bag of cakes from the space. The paper packaging was similar to the products of this era, so it would not arouse suspicion. There was also more than ten pounds of grain in Sun's hands.

There was a large table full of things. Li Dahai and the others were stunned. How much would it cost? Five hundred coins would be enough. Seeing what Li Dahai was thinking, Li Xiaoxiao took the initiative to ask how much each item cost. She had thought about it on the way here. She said the medicine cost 120 coins, which was about right.

Li Xiaoxiao had already made an agreement with Sun that she would not tell Li Dahai about the incident with the gangsters, as she was afraid that Li Dahai would worry.

There were four big meat buns, one for each person except Li Xiaoxiao. Li Huawen exclaimed that they were delicious. It was the first time for him to eat such big meat buns in his life. The skin was thin and the filling was big. The taste was delicious, and it was full of meaty aroma when he took a bite.

Old Li's family also makes meat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but there is only a little meat in them, and the rest is carrots. Each bun is very small and not enough to fill the stomach, so each person can only eat one.

Li Huawen is seven years old this year. A child of his age should understand some things. He never thought that dividing the family property would be so good. He could eat meat every day, which he could not even dream of.

Each person ate two pieces of pastries, which were of a certain Xiangcun brand. They were soft, sweet and melted in the mouth. The whole family was very satisfied with the meal.

At noon, she made noodles made of pure white flour. Since she had just eaten, Sun didn't make too much. She used about a pound of white flour and water, kneaded the dough, then flattened it with a rolling pin, and cut it into thin long strips.

Boil water in a pot, wash the purchased pork bones, blanch them in the boiling water, skim off the foam on the surface, cover with a lid, and start cooking over high heat. Soon, the fragrance in the pot will come out through the holes in the lid.

As soon as Aunt Hua came out of the house, she smelled the aroma of meat. She took a deep breath and rolled her eyes at Li Xiaoxiao who was busy at the stove.

"What a spendthrift! Doesn't he know his family's financial situation? Yet he eats meat every day." Because of what happened by the river yesterday, Aunt Hua completely hated Li Xiaoxiao, and she even disliked her entire family.

Without saying a word, Li Xiaoxiao picked up the water that had just been used to wash the big bones and poured it towards Aunt Hua. Aunt Hua was so scared that she quickly hid backwards, but even so, a large area of ​​her feet was still wet.

"You damn little bitch, you want to die, how dare you throw stones at me." Aunt Hua was so angry that she clapped her hands and jumped up, cursing.

"Who told you to talk nonsense all day long?" Li Xiaoxiao put down the basin in his hand and said slowly.

Sun and Li Ruolan were both at a loss. Li Dahai and Li Huawen came out of the house after hearing the noise.

"Da Mao, Er Mao, San Mao, your mother has been bullied at the doorstep, why don't you come out?" Aunt Hua shouted towards her home.

After a while, three teenagers came out. Li Xiaoxiao had impression of these three men. They were Aunt Hua's sons. The oldest one, Damao, was the same age as her. One was 15 years old, and the other was 14 years old.

Seeing that her own children had come over, Aunt Hua immediately felt backed up and spoke more confidently.

"You are such a shameless family. You use my wall to bully me. Let me show you how I will teach you a lesson today." After saying that, she asked her three sons to beat Li Xiaoxiao.

Damao had just finished his meal when he heard his mother shouting and ran out, thinking someone was bullying her. Unexpectedly, it was Li Xiaoxiao. He and Li Xiaoxiao were playmates who grew up together. Yesterday, he went to his uncle's house with his mother. When he came back, he heard that Li Xiaoxiao's family built a thatched hut and used the wall of his house. He was very happy to be able to help Xiaoxiao, but his mother had been complaining all the time and now she even started fighting. He was in a dilemma for a moment.
