Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Blocking the way were the original owner's brother Li Dali and sister-in-law Liu Yu. Li Dali was short and had shifty eyes, while Liu Yu was dark-skinned with a pair of triangular eyes that showed calculation.

"Xiao Yu, I heard that you and the eldest brother of the Han family separated." Liu Yu said with a smile.

Li Yu looked at the two coldly. These two were not good people. They beat and scolded the original owner and never treated the original owner as a human being. If Han Xiuwen had not liked the original owner and was willing to spend ten taels of silver to help the original owner break off the relationship with Li Dali, the original owner would probably still be a slave in the Li family.

Not wanting to say more to the two, Li Yu said, "Whether the family is divided or not is none of your business. A good dog doesn't block the road. Get out of my way."

"You little bitch, you're getting so bold!" Li Dali rolled up his sleeves and pretended to hit Li Yu.

Liu Yu quickly grabbed him and said in a pretentious manner, "Xiao Yu, we are all family. We were just joking in the past. How can you take it seriously?"

Li Yu hehe.

Liu Yu continued shamelessly: "I heard that the Han family gave you several acres of land, which is great, but you are a girl and you can't take care of so much land. Why don't you transfer the land to your brother's name and we will help you farm it."

I have never seen such a shameless person! The original owner had a very difficult life.

Li Yu rolled his eyes, put down the basket and looked for something, saying, "Do you want to leave or not? Do you believe I will kill you?"

Liu Yu saw the pork belly and food in the basket and was so jealous, "Xiao Yu, look at you, you always know how to have fun..."

Before he could utter the word "smile", a sharp knife was suddenly placed on Li Dali's neck.

Liu Yu suddenly became silent, like a chicken with its neck strangled.

Li Dali didn't expect Li Yu to be so aggressive. Although he was so angry that he was about to explode, he didn't dare to move.

Li Yu looked at the two of them expressionlessly, "I am no longer the Li Yu of the past. This is the first time I am warning you. If you dare to trouble me again, I will kill you even if I have to sacrifice my own life."

Li Dali and Liu Yu: "......"

"Did you hear that?" Li Yu said, "If you heard it, nod to me."

Li Dali nodded tremblingly.

Liu Yu also bowed his head.

Li Yu snorted, "Don't even think about doing anything else. I'm telling you, even without this knife, I can still kill both of you. So don't play any tricks on me."

After saying that, she slowly moved the knife away.

Li Dali was afraid of losing his life, so he quickly stepped back and ran a few meters away.

He touched his neck and roared with lingering fear, "Li Yu, believe it or not, I will beat you to death."

Li Yu pointed the knife at him and said, "You can try, as long as you are not afraid of my knife."

"Crazy." Liu Yu murmured, "You are really crazy."

"You forced me to do it." Li Yu said, picked up the basket and left, leaving the two of them helpless and furious.

Han Zheng heard the noise outside and asked Han Xiaomei to help him to the door to take a look. However, after he took only two steps, Li Yu came in with the basket.

Seeing that he was awake, Li Yu raised an eyebrow, "How do you feel now?"

"Much better, thank you, second sister-in-law."

"You're welcome. We're all family." Li Yu put down the basket, took out the things inside and handed them to Han Xiaomei. "I bought this for you. You were in such a hurry this morning. You probably haven't eaten yet."

Han Xiaomei took it and looked at it. It was four buns, white and plump, which looked particularly pleasing to the eye.

Han Xiaomei sniffed and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Second sister-in-law." The little girl choked up, "Thank you."

"Silly girl." Li Yu patted her head and carried other things into the kitchen.

Han Xiaomei looked at her, then at Baozi, and tears instantly covered her face.

"Eat." Han Zheng said, and walked into the kitchen while holding the wall.

Li Yu placed the oil and spices on the temporary wooden table she had built yesterday, feeling extremely satisfied. She liked having everything complete, which made her feel that life had a purpose.

She turned around while humming a song, only to find that Han Zheng had stood behind her without her noticing.

Without thinking too much, Li Yu said, "You are still sick. Don't worry about the family matters these days. Get well first."

Han Zheng hummed, took out six taels of silver and placed it in front of her, "Second sister-in-law, this is the money for today's medicine."

Li Yu waved his hand, "You take it first, I won't be able to use it for now."

Han Zheng was unmoved, "The family has a lot of expenses, so let my second sister-in-law use the money to buy things."

Seeing that he was stubborn, Li Yu took out one tael of silver and said, "I'll use this tael of silver for my daily necessities. You can keep the rest first. I'll ask you for it when I need it."

Only then did Han Zheng take back the silver.

Looking down at the things on the wooden board, Han Zheng asked, "Second sister-in-law wants to do business?"

clever!

Li Yu smiled and said, "I want to sell braised food, but I don't have enough right now. I'm afraid I'll have to ask Xiaomei to help me with something."

Han Zheng nodded, "Second sister-in-law, you can call us if you have any problems."

Li Yu nodded.

After resolving a worry, Han Zheng returned to the main room.

Han Xiaomei was eating buns when she saw her third brother come back and hurried over to help him.

"Xiaomei, do you feel that your second sister-in-law has changed?" Han Zheng said softly after sitting down.

Han Xiaomei paused, then whispered back, "Second sister-in-law has become bolder."

She still remembered the day when her second sister-in-law first got married into the family. She didn't dare to speak loudly. After her second brother died, she became even more silent and never talked back even when scolded by her eldest sister-in-law.

The second sister-in-law now is different. She dares to quarrel with the eldest sister-in-law, and dares to do things and speak. She likes the second sister-in-law now more.

Compared to the haggard Li Yu during his second brother's funeral, Han Zheng also likes her now, because she makes him feel more at ease. It is a great thing that his second sister-in-law can cheer up now that his second brother is gone.

The twelve-year-old boy sat on a chair, listening to the noise in the kitchen, and thought to himself that he must help his second brother take good care of his second sister-in-law.

Nowadays, people in the village eat two meals a day, one around nine in the morning and one around four in the afternoon, based on a twenty-four-hour period.

Because they had eaten steamed buns in the morning, Li Yu followed the local custom and did not cook at noon. After resting for more than half an hour, he got up and took Han Xiaomei to buy a pot.

The house is more than 200 meters away from the only river in the village, the Qingshui River. If there is no water tank, it will be inconvenient to get water.

There was a man who sold jars in the village. His surname was Wu and everyone called him Uncle Wu. His family lived at the foot of a mountain not far away.

Li Yu ordered a slightly larger one, paid the money, and asked Uncle Wu to help wash it at the riverside and bring it back home.

Afterwards, he took Han Xiaomei to fetch water one trip at a time.

When they were carrying the third bucket, Uncle Wu passed by. Perhaps he couldn't bear to see the two girls suffer so much, so he brought a shoulder pole and bucket from his home and helped them carry the load.

With his help, the jar was full in less than half an hour.

Han Xiaomei kept thanking him, and Li Yu went back to the room to get some candies as a thank you gift, but when he came out, Uncle Wu had already left.

"Second sister-in-law, how about I send it to him?"

Li Yu looked at Uncle Wu's blurry back and changed his mind, "Don't send it yet. I'll make some braised food this afternoon and send him a bowl when the time comes."
