As she spoke, the woman took protective measures and began to remove the beehive on the lid of the box.

"Ali, I say you are such a spendthrift. The price you give is more expensive than honey, right?" Shen Xing said.

"Third brother, I will continue to use you in the future. You must be fair and honest in doing business, and you can't just be greedy for cheap things."

"I didn't mean to take advantage of her..." Shen Xing didn't expect her to say such insightful words. He knew that what he said just now was wrong. In fact, he didn't mean to take advantage of her. He just wanted to say a few words to stab Shen Li out of habit.

It seems that she really needs to be more careful with her mouth from now on. She is no longer the same person she used to be. She can no longer say anything, especially something as inappropriate as what she said today.

Shen Li saw that he lost his temper after just saying a few words. This was unlike him normally: "Third brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you feel so weak today?"

"I won't argue with you."

"Then don't bother with me in the future. You'd better just give in to me all the time." Shen Li joked.

"It's a beautiful thought."

"I knew it."

"Little girl, I'm done. Please count and load them onto the truck," said the woman.

Shen Xing went straight to move the beehive and placed it on the ox cart.

"Aunt, I bought this to research something. If it succeeds, I will use it in the future. I will buy more then. Please keep this for me."

When the woman heard this, she knew she would use it in the future, so she immediately said with a smile, "Okay, but what if you don't come?"

"If I fail to develop it, I will tell you, and then you won't have to leave it for me."

"That's safe. I wish you success." The woman hoped Shen Li could succeed, so that this unwanted item could be sold.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"You are such a sweet girl. My last name is Zhou, you can call me Aunt Zhou."

"Okay, Aunt Zhou, are you the only one running such a large bee farm?"

"No, I can't take care of so many bees by myself. It's our family who's doing this. Your uncle and my son went to deliver the goods. I'm the only one here now."

Shen Li nodded in understanding.

"Ali, the installation is done." Shen Xing shouted from a distance.

Shen Li gave the silver and said, "Aunt Zhou, we'll leave first."

Sitting in the car, Shen Li saw Shen Xing always scratching the back of his left hand: "Third brother, were you stung by a bee?"

"It seems so. It hurts a bit and it itches."

"Then stop scratching. The more you scratch, the worse it gets."

"It's nothing. I've been stung before in the mountains. It will be fine in a few days."

While talking, Shen Li noticed that the place on his hand where he was stung had become red and swollen. She hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "Stop scratching it. Look, it's all swollen. It seems to be quite serious. Does it hurt?"

It still hurts, but seeing how anxious Shen Li is, it's better not to make her worry: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, don't make a fuss, it will be fine in a few days."

Shen Li felt a little guilty. It was because of helping her that he got stung. "I'm sorry, Third Brother."

"Okay, be a man, it's okay to be stung." After saying that, Shen Xing turned his head, looking like he didn't want to say anything more.

In fact, he felt a little itchy and painful on his neck, maybe he was stung, but he didn't want to be discovered by Shen Li. It didn't matter if he quarreled with her normally, but he couldn't stand seeing her look so listless.

When I got home, it was already afternoon.

Shen Li watched Shen Xing trying his best to behave as usual, but she knew that he must be in pain. She also saw that the back of his neck was swollen, and she didn't know if he was stung anywhere else.

He didn't dare to scratch her for fear that she would blame herself. Shen Li was touched and felt guilty.

Now she had only 120 coins left after paying Uncle Wang's 80 coins for his car fare. She didn't know if it was enough to buy some ointment from Qin Yu.

"Sister Erya, are you there?" Shen Li shouted outside Li Erya's house.

Li Erya came out of the house: "Ali, do you have something to talk to me about? Come in and sit down."

"No, Sister Erya, please come out. I have something I want to ask you for help with."

Li Erya left the yard and walked up to Shen Li: "You say."

"My third brother was stung by a bee. I want to go to Qin Yu to buy some ointment to apply on him, but you know me. Although I don't like him anymore, I still don't want to see him. Can you help me buy some? This is all the money I have, and I don't know if it's enough."

Li Erya took the string of copper coins and said, "That should be enough, but you really don't want to go?"

"No, I'll wait for you at the intersection, go quickly."

Qin Yu's home is at the back of the village, not close to anyone else's house, so she basically wouldn't pass by him every time she walked back and forth. But sometimes, if she had to pass by him, Shen Li would go around him. She had to avoid him. She didn't want to be involved in the entanglement between him and Shen Yanyan, and end up as a cannon fodder like in the original book.

"Cousin? Are you...looking for Qin Yu?"

Shen Li raised his head and found it was Shen Yanyan: "No, I'm waiting for someone."

"Cousin, I asked Qin Yu, and he said you haven't visited him for a long time. If you really want to see him, I'll take you there."

"No, I don't want to see her." Shen Li didn't want to waste time talking to her. Why hasn't Sister Erya come back yet?

"Cousin, when I mentioned you to Qin Yu, he didn't seem to hate you as much, so don't be afraid."

"Thank you, but I don't want to see him."

"Ali."

Shen Li turned around and found that Li Erya had finally come back. Then she paused again. Qin Yu? Why did he come out too?

"Brother Qin, where are you going?" Shen Yanyan ran to Qin Yu with a smile.

“Collecting herbs.”

Shen Li couldn't help but be curious and looked at him a few times. There was a little difference between the real person and the memory in his mind. He was worthy of being the male lead. How do you describe his appearance?

His figure is that of a young man, very thin, and about the same height as my elder brother, about 1.8 meters. Although he is wearing a short farmer's clothes, he does not look like a farmer at all.

Her skin is very white, her eyelids are droopy, and she seems to be uninterested in anything, but her lips are bright red, making her look very... seductive?

Shen Li remembered that the book said that he had poor health. He fell into the water when he was young and almost drowned. After that, his physical condition was not very good.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you didn't like me? Why are you looking at me for so long?" Li Erya whispered in Shen Li's ear.

Shen Li came back to his senses and said awkwardly: "Let's go."

"Cousin, didn't you come to see Brother Qin? He is here now. Are you just leaving like this?" Shen Yanyan raised her voice.

Shen Li was a little irritable. This guy was never going to stop. He kept trying to drag her into their affairs. She forced a smile and said, "Cousin, I won't bother you anymore."

"We..." Shen Yanyan glanced at Qin Yu and felt her face getting hot. She quickly looked at Li Erya, "Erya, I heard that Uncle Li is already well. I'm really sorry that I couldn't help last time. You don't know how worried I was."
