I observed the reactions of several people, but after watching for a long time, I found nothing.

"It's not easy for them mother and daughter. Send it to them as soon as Ali finishes eating." Liu Dahua reminded.

"Mom, I like Aunt Qin very much. If I interact more with them, will you be unhappy?" Shen Li asked cautiously.

"How could that be? Mother also thinks they are good people, but Ah Li, mother has to remind you that Qin Yu is a mother, but Qin Yu is a man. You still have to be careful when interacting with him, so as not to affect your reputation. It will be difficult to find a husband when the time comes. Fortunately, you are not yet of age."

"Mom, I did things without restraint before. I no longer have a good reputation." Shen Li pouted.

"It doesn't matter. If you can't get married in the future, I will support you for the rest of your life."

"Oh, you still have us. Whoever dares to look down on you, I will beat him till his teeth are all over the ground." Shen Xing said.

"Yes, brothers can support you for the rest of your life." Shen Han said.

Shen Liang didn't say anything, but he picked up a piece of rabbit meat for Shen Li.

Shen Li felt a little warm in her heart. Is this family love? It was such a warm feeling. And her brothers didn’t seem to be angry because she was going to give Qin Yueying a rabbit leg. Didn’t they mind?

"Well, if I can't get married, I will stay at home for the rest of my life, and then I will rely on you to support me. Now that I've said this, you are not allowed to regret it."

"Tsk, how can a man go back on his word and look down on others?" Shen Xing glared at Shen Li.

He cut again? Originally it was a joke, but now I have to tease him: "Third brother, when you get married and have a wife, what should I do if she doesn't let you support me?"

Shen Xing scratched his head in annoyance: "She dares, you are my sister, if she doesn't let me, I will divorce her."

"Really? Don't pretend to be tough. If the time comes, she will surrender with just a few sweet words. Then, poor your sister, I will have to live on the streets." Shen Li took the handkerchief from Liu Dahahua's hand and pretended to wipe away the tears that were not there.

"I...it's impossible anyway. What if I just don't marry her?" Shen Xing said anxiously.

Shen Li was originally teasing him and had been trying to hold back his laughter, but after hearing what he said, he couldn't hold it back any longer: "Haha... Third brother, you're really hard to hold back. But I'm so touched. You actually want to not get married for my sake. Just for this, we must have a drink." Shen Li picked up the soup bowl and held it in front of Shen Xing.

Originally Shen Xing was a little angry when he saw her smile, knowing that he was fooled. But after hearing her words, he could no longer be angry. He reluctantly raised his soup bowl, clinked it with Shen Li's, and then drank half the bowl of soup in one breath.

Shen Li drank up the soup that was only at the bottom of the bowl and put down the bowl: "Third brother, I was just kidding, you're not mad at me, are you?"

"I did have some idea, but I wasn't kidding, and what I said was true. Who knows if what you said was false?"

"I didn't lie. If I really can't get married for the rest of my life, I will definitely need you to support me. Then you will definitely have to get married in the future. There is a high possibility that you will not like me, right?"

"I won't marry someone who doesn't like you." Shen Xing said.

"So, Third Brother, do you like me now?"

"I...I didn't. Are you going to deliver the things? It's already cold." Shen Xing hurriedly changed the subject.

Looking at his expression, Shen Li knew that he was saying one thing and thinking another. He probably regarded her as his sister now. Didn't he just admit that she was his sister?

That's why she didn't bother with him.

He took the rabbit legs on a plate, put them in a small basket, covered it with a clean cloth, and went out while humming a song.

She was really happy. Shen Xing's words today clearly showed that he had already treated her as his sister again. This was a good development. He would also treat them all as his real brothers.

In the past, she lacked family affection, had few brothers and sisters, and had very few friends. She was really lonely. After coming here, although she had relatives, these people did not like her and did not let her feel the love of family.

Later, Liu Dahua finally forgave her and treated her like her own daughter. This was the first family love she felt. Now Shen Xing also gave her some family love. She was very happy. Although Shen Liang and Shen Han didn't say anything, they were also nice to her. Sooner or later, they would treat her as a sister.

I feel happy just thinking about having three older brothers to love me in the future.

……

"You three, why aren't you unhappy this time?" Liu Dahua asked curiously.

"Mom, we heard what you said to Ali last time, and we think you are right. We should trust Ali no matter what she wants to do, so we will not control her in the future." Shen Han said.

"You can't just ignore it. If she does something wrong in the future, you, as her brother, still have to guide her in the right direction."

"I understand, mother."

Shen Liang and Shen Xing also nodded.

The next day, Shen Li still went to the county town with his two brothers.

The thirty boxes of ointment were sold out quickly.

When I got home, I saw a lot of seedlings in the yard.

"Mom, are these rice seedlings?" Shen Li asked.

"Yes, I just brought this back from your grandfather's house. We need to replant it. We will be working in the fields again soon."

There are two crops a year here. After the last crop of rice is harvested, this one will be planted in the second half of the year. Shen Li knows that they need to pull out the stubble in the ground and then continue planting in the second half of the year.

Because it is located in the south and receives a lot of rain, it is only suitable for growing paddy fields. The place for growing sweet potatoes is a dry field reclaimed halfway up the mountain.

"Mom, I'll go too."

"No, you can just cook at home. Besides, don't you still have to go to the county to sell ointment tomorrow?"

"Okay then." Shen Li said.

"Then let's go early tomorrow and come back early so we can go to the fields." Shen Xing said.

"No need, Third Brother. I can go by myself tomorrow. The reputation of the ointment has already spread, so it's okay not to distribute flyers." Shen Li couldn't go out, so he tried not to delay others.

"Row."

For the next three days, Shen Li went to the city to sell the ointment every day. Although she didn't distribute flyers, it sold very quickly. On the last day, there were only twenty-three boxes left, and this was all she could sell.

This time, I got a total of seventy-one taels and one hundred coins from the ointment. With the nine taels left over from before, and the five taels I spent on buying food, I now have seventy-five taels left.

I estimate that with this amount of money, I can save enough for making ointment next time, and buy some things for my home. If I want to earn enough to run a shop, it will take time, so I can't just save money. I should buy some necessities.

Two days later, all the new rice seedlings were finally planted in the fields.

In fact, the rice here matures in a short period of time, less than four months. It may be due to the variety, which is shorter than modern ones.

Because Xia County can have two harvests a year, ordinary farmers can live a decent life. Their county as a whole is not particularly wealthy, but it is better than most but also better than most.
