When Qin Yu came out, Shen Li was the only one left in the yard.

"Do you still want to eat?"

Qin Yu shook his head and looked at her a few times. It seemed like everything was the same as usual. Didn't she mind Shen Yanyan coming to see him at all?

"During this period of time, I can do the job of dispensing medicine for you. Is that okay?"

"Ah."

Shen Li saw that he was in a bad mood, and thought of Shen Yanyan who had just run out. Did they have a fight?

"My mother and Aunt Qin are already good friends. If you have any problems in the future, don't be polite to our family."

"Shen Li, I heard from my mother that your ointment business is doing pretty well. Have you thought about your future plans?" Qin Yu knew that sooner or later he would leave here and do what he wanted to do. At this moment, he wanted to know her plans. He didn't want to lose contact with Shen Li after he left.

"I haven't thought too much about it. If the business is doing well, I might leave here. I can't think too far ahead. I'll just take it one step at a time."

After that, neither of them spoke. One stood there, not knowing what he was thinking, while the other sat comfortably at the table, looking at the sky.

Qin Yu looked at Shen Li. The peaceful and beautiful moment calmed his restless heart. He retracted his gaze and looked up at the sky, which was dotted with stars and the moonlight was like water.

Shen Li glanced at him and smiled. This was the male protagonist in the book, the big boss in the future. She hoped that he would remember their old friendship and not attack her, even if it was just for the sake of watching the stars together at this moment.

Liu Dahua and Qin Yueying stood by the window in the house, looking at the two people in the yard. Their eyes met, but no one spoke.

Early the next morning, the Shen family expressed their gratitude again, took their personal belongings, and returned to their newly built home.

Shen Li looked at his home which was completely different from before and sighed how good it was to be rich.

The walls of the yard are made of a mixture of yellow mud and stones, the gate is made of wood, there are several paths in the yard paved with small gravel, one from the gate to the door of each room, and there are bluestone bricks paved in the pergola and kitchen. The reason why the entire yard is not paved is because they wanted to leave some space to plant things, flowers, plants, or vegetables.

The kitchen shed was rebuilt and is more solid. The stove was also rebuilt and is bigger than the previous one so it can hold more things. Next to it, a small stove was built with a small iron pot for cooking. Having two stoves makes it more convenient.

A long low cabinet was made of wood on one side, which contained some pots, pans, and utensils.

Shen Li's room had a bed, a table and a cabinet, and the same was true for his brothers' rooms.

There was a table and six chairs in the hall, and the rest of the equipment room had everything, including the supplies for making ointments, as well as rice, flour, oil, etc. A sturdy lock was installed on the outside door.

There weren't many things at home, so they cleaned up quickly. After Shen Li finished cleaning the equipment room, Liu Dahua had already cleaned up her room. Naturally, he cleaned up his brothers' rooms himself, especially Shen Liang, as he might not trust others to clean up for him.

"Sister Erya, what are you doing with these things?" Shen Li was standing in the yard and saw Li Erya entering the yard with a chicken and a small basket of eggs.

Li Erya threw the chicken with its legs tied to it on the kitchen floor and placed the eggs on the table: "I know your family moved back today, so this is a small gift from my family to celebrate your move into your new home."

"No need, why are you being so polite to me? Give this chicken to Uncle Li. It will be a good supplement for his body."

"Don't be polite. This is a gift from my family. Are you going to refuse?"

"Okay." Shen Li pulled her to sit on the stool.

"Ali, I couldn't help you with your house problem, and I feel a little guilty about it."

"I know your family's situation, how can I blame you?"

"I know you won't. I've been accompanying my sister these days, and I feel like she's very unhappy, but she won't tell me when I ask her. I have no choice but to spend more time with her."

Shen Li knew she was worried: "Wait for me."

She went back to the room and took out a box of ointment: "Give this to Sister Daya. I hope she will be happier."

"She used the one you gave me, and seemed to like it very much. I asked her to use it, but she didn't."

"She's probably embarrassed. Give her the new one."

"Well, let's not talk about me, let's talk about you."

Shen Li was puzzled: "What can I say? I used all the money from selling the ointment to build a house. I have become a poor man again."

"Who said that?" Li Erya rolled her eyes at her. "I mean, you've lived in Qin Yu's house for such a long time, didn't anything happen?"

"When did you become such a gossip?"

"It's a woman's nature to gossip, so tell me now."

"Oh, you even admit that you are a woman just for gossip?" Shen Li teased.

"What are you talking about? I am a woman."

"But don't you always want others to think you are a man?"

Li Erya didn't care: "It depends on the need. Now I want to be a woman first."

Shen Li shook his head speechlessly: "There's nothing wrong with us."

"It's that simple?"

"Yes."

"You really don't like him anymore?" Li Erya looked at Shen Li suspiciously.

"We are just friends now. He doesn't like me and I don't like him. It's that simple."

Li Erya rolled her eyes: "It's boring, let's go."

Watching her coming and going in a hurry, Shen Li sighed and said that he was not a tomboy.

On market day, Shen Li, Liu Dahua and Shen Xing went to the market and bought some things that the family needed. They were all small things, and all in all, they only cost five taels of silver.

When I got home, I found that Old Mrs. Shen had come.

Just like last time, he sat on a bench in the yard with some arrogance, and there were two people sitting next to him, one was Liu Fang and the other was his uncle Shen Lai Fu.

Is this a family sending out a representative? This was Shen Li’s first reaction.

Shen Liang was at home. He had no time to carve while the house was being built, and now he was taking the time to practice. But at this moment, he was standing in the yard, his face not looking very good, his lips tightly pursed.

It was obvious that Shen Li was upset. Old Mrs. Shen must have said something unpleasant again.

"Mom, you're here." Liu Dahua said.

Shen Li gave Shen Xing a wink, and Shen Xing understood and went to the corner of the kitchen, putting the basket he was carrying in an invisible place. Inside was the things he bought today.

Given Old Lady Shen’s personality, she would definitely make some sarcastic remarks if she saw this, so it’s better to mind your own business.

"Now that you are rich, you wear better clothes than before. Are you going to the market again?"

Liu Dahua forced a smile and said, "This is a newly built house. We are still short of some things. Let's go buy some."

Old Mrs. Shen crossed her legs, her mouth slanted, and her eyelids fluttered: "Yes, you built such a nice house, but you didn't tell my family. I only found out about it from what others said. Now that it's divided, it won't be Shen anymore, right?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? How can your last name not be Shen?"

"Just remember your last name is Shen. I've seen this house. It must cost a lot of money, right?"
