Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

When Li Yuer came back from the toilet, Zhao had already gone to the kitchen to cook. Mr. Cai would not let Old Man Li leave tonight, so Cai Chengping began to allocate accommodation rooms.

There are two east rooms in the upper house. Cai Junyi lives in the easternmost one, which has a separate door. It was originally reserved for old man Cai. Old man Cai felt sorry for his grandson living in the west wing, where the light was not as good as in the east room, and was afraid that his grandson would damage his eyes by reading, so he took the initiative to change rooms.

Besides, he didn't like living too close to his son and daughter-in-law. As people get older, they are bound to have some problems, so it's better for him to live alone.

The east room next to the main hall was unoccupied, so the east wing was rented to Datou and his friends. There were two rooms in total. Datou and Jiaque lived in one, and the other was originally filled with wicker boxes, which had just been tied up and packed out by Li Laosan and his men and piled in the middle main hall. Li Laosan and Li Erlang took the initiative to ask to live in the east wing.

Actually, Li Laosan and Li Erlang were going back to Rabbit Island today to pack up the oil lamps for shipment, but they didn't want to tell Li Laohan and his companions, so they chose to live in the east wing so that Li Laohan and his companions wouldn't know their whereabouts.

The structure of the west wing is the same as that of the east wing, with two bedrooms in the north and south and a main room in the middle. Old Mrs. Cai wanted to live with her younger brother, so she took the initiative to choose another bedroom in the west wing.

The last remaining house of the landlord became the residence of Li Meir and Li Yuer.

Old Lady Cai pulled Li Mei'er to her side, held her hand, smiled and whispered to her: "Mei'er, your aunt likes you very much. She said you are pretty and capable. You have to behave well these few days, be good, be more perceptive, be more active, and be more skillful.

Go change your clothes and help your aunt make a fire and cook."

Li Mei'er blushed when she heard this, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "I know."

When she was leaving, her mother told her to behave well at her uncle's house and try to find a good marriage.

At this time, Li Meir was wearing that pink skirt and exquisite embroidered shoes, which was indeed not suitable for work.

She went to the assigned residence, took out the clothes and belongings from her bag, changed into the pink fine cloth clothes that she had recently made, and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help her aunt with work.

When Zhao saw her come in, she said quickly, "You don't need to work at my aunt's house. Go back to your room and rest. You must be exhausted after walking such a long way."

Li Meir was used to working at home, so a distance of several miles was nothing to her. Seeing that Zhao was cutting vegetables and watching the fire at the same time, which was very inconvenient, she took the fire stick and put a few pieces of firewood into the stove.

"I'm not tired. Grandpa and Third Uncle carried the things, so I just followed them for a few steps. It's not tiring to light the fire. Just let us keep each other company and chat."

"That's great." Hearing Li Mei'er say this, Zhao felt relieved. "You don't know how much I want to have a daughter. My brother Yi is good in every way. He is sensible, filial, and can study. But he is very boring. How can a son be as good as a daughter? No wonder the old people say that a daughter is a mother's sweet little cotton-padded jacket."

"A niece, half your own daughter, you should just treat me as half your daughter." Li Meir said.

"Okay, that's great. You should stay a few more days and chat with me."

Soon, the two of them became friendly and talked about everything from trivial matters at home to interesting things in the village. Once they started talking, they had endless things to say.

Li Yuer thought it over again and again and decided to tell his third uncle the news he got from his eldest cousin.

After hearing this, Li Laosan was shocked.

"So, my uncle's family is in trouble, but my uncle and his family don't know about it?"

Li Yuer nodded, "I'm afraid my eldest cousin won't tell my uncle and the others. Scholars are noble and stubborn. Even if they are wronged, they don't want to implicate their family."

Li Laosan glared and said disapprovingly, "Is this something he can avoid getting involved in if he wants to?"

Li Laosan thought about his past self. The last time he learned that his brothers were captured by "human traffickers", he wanted to fight to the death with the other party regardless of the consequences. If Yu Baoer had not stopped him in time, he would have done something stupid. I am afraid that he has implicated his family now.

He is still criticizing others, they are the same, he is not much better.

Li Yu'er didn't know what Li Laosan was thinking. Seeing that he was silent, she thought he was too worried, so she comforted him, "Don't think too badly. Things are still unclear now. I think we should go and find out quietly first."

"Where can we go to inquire? This Zhulu Academy is not accessible to ordinary people, and it is not in the town. It is in Huihai County, and it is a circle of scholars. Where can we go to inquire?"

Li Yuer frowned and thought, then said, "Huihai County is a little far, but the doctor who treated my cousin is not far away. We can start with him and follow the clues. Then we can easily catch him."

Upon hearing this, Li Laosan smiled and praised, "Yu Baoer, I find that you are becoming more and more clever. Where did you learn this? You have so many tricks up your sleeve."

"Of course, but plans are not as fast as changes. We still have to come up with a perfect plan and never let the other party know of our existence.

Moreover, this matter could be a big deal or a small one, and my uncle and his family had to know about it. If we kept it a secret, would my cousin stop taking the medicine? If we took my cousin to the town to find a new doctor, would he notice? Besides, if they could bribe one doctor, how did you know they couldn't bribe another?

If we make a mistake, we will alert the enemy. Who knows if they will take risks and kill us to silence us after they find out we know the truth?"

The more Li Laosan listened to Li Yuer's analysis, the more his brows furrowed. These things were things he had never encountered in the past ten years, and he had never even heard of them.

The population of Tuwozi Village is simple and the villagers are very honest. At most, they would have a conflict with each other, but after a fight, the anger would subside and they would make peace again. No one would easily take someone's life because of a small conflict.

"So what should we do now?" Li Laosan asked worriedly.

Li Yuer hooked her finger at him, asked him to come closer to her ear, and whispered in his ear.

"This, this, will this work?" Li Laosan was surprised.

"Why not? Are you scared? Isn't it said that people can survive if they move away, and trees can die if they move away? Isn't it said that you should go out and explore the world? Are you scared by such a trivial thing?"

Li Laosan was so angry that his hair stood on end. "Who said I was afraid? I am Li San, I am not afraid of anything. This is nothing. Just wait and see. I will definitely handle it properly for you."

Li Yuer gave him a thumbs up and flattered him, saying, "I don't trust anyone else in my family, but I can trust my Third Uncle a hundred times when he does things for me."

"That's right." Li Laosan crossed his arms over his chest and rolled his eyes to the sky complacently, but his heart was actually surging with fear and panic.

Li Yuer asked Jia Que'er about the time Zhao would boil the medicine at noon, and jumped into the kitchen.

"Yu Baoer, why are you here? Are you hungry? The meal is ready and on the table. Your grandma and the others were looking for you just now. Come and eat."

Zhao was holding a bag of herbs in her hand and was untying a rope.

Li Yu'er stood at the kitchen door with her hands behind her back, facing the light. Zhao Shi couldn't see the expression on her face.

"Aunt, won't you eat with us?"

Zhao had already opened the medicine package and was about to pour the medicine into the medicine jar, but when she thought of the taste of the medicine, she stopped what she was doing and wanted to wait until Li Yuer left before boiling it.
