The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Gu Jingzhi noticed the discomfort on Li Xi's face, but he did not expose her. He just curled the corners of his lips slightly to prevent her from getting angry and chasing him away.

Li Xi cooked dinner in the evening. She made a little extra and asked Hu Zi to deliver it to Gu Yin. She had already received the money, so she would naturally provide good service.

After dinner, Li Xi stopped Madam Liu who wanted to leave, "Mom, don't leave yet, I have something to say."

Madam Liu paused, but did not get up in the end. Hu Zi, who was sitting next to them, looked at the two of them worriedly, afraid that they would make a fuss again like they did this morning.

"Mom, regarding what happened this morning, I know you are thinking about the long-term future of this family.

Dad passed away early, Huzi and I are still young, you are worried that we will have a hard time in the future."

Li Xi understood why Madam Liu didn't want to spend money, but she couldn't agree with her idea. Money is never saved. Only when it flows can it make money.

After hearing what Li Xi said, Madam Liu's eyes turned red and tears welled up in them. She felt that every word she said touched her heart, but there was still a long time to go in the future, and they were an orphan and a widow, so she didn't have to take it too seriously.

In fact, Li Xi could understand Liu Niangzi's thoughts, but she couldn't empathize with her because they received different education and had different thoughts.

"Mom, I've already given you the money, it's yours, if you don't want to touch it then don't touch it."

Anyway, she already has the start-up capital from Gu Yin, "I will take care of Hu Zi's schooling and the collection of medicinal herbs."

Madam Liu didn't expect that Li Xi had not given up on letting Hu Zi go to school and collect medicinal herbs. She felt that Li Xi was thinking too simply. Going to school and doing business were not such easy things.

If it were really that easy, why don't anybody else do it when there are so many people in the village?

But when she said that she would not pay for it, she did not say much. She did not think Li Xi would succeed, but since she would not turn back until she hit the wall, then let her try.

Although Li Xi apologized, Liu Niangzi still felt dissatisfied with Li Xi's insistence.

In her opinion, she is the head of the family, but Li Xi has been challenging her authority. How can she be happy?

"It's up to you." Madam Liu turned and left with a sullen face.

Li Xi watched Madam Liu leave thoughtfully. She knew that Madam Liu would not be happy after hearing this, but she still had to say what she should say. Just as Madam Liu would not compromise, so would she.

In this strange place, if she wants to protect herself, she must have the ability to protect herself. People here get married early, and she doesn't want to be one of them, so she must plan ahead.

She also has to make her attitude clear to Madam Liu. Compromise will happen a second time if it happens once, and pushing for more is never just an idiom.

"Sister, it doesn't matter if I don't go to school. Many people in the village don't go to school either." Hu Zi didn't want to make things difficult for his sister, so even though he really wanted to go to school, he still refused.

Li Xi felt a little sad when she saw Hu Zi's sensible appearance. He was so young, yet he was already so considerate of others.

"Huzi, listen, sister is not doing this just for you.

I promised you that I would let you go to school, and I will definitely do it. Don't worry about the money, I have found a solution."

Hu Zi's eyes turned red, "Sister..."

"Okay, stop worrying about it. These are things that adults should worry about. You're just a kid. Don't think too much. You won't grow taller."

After Li Xi washed the dishes, she reminded Hu Zi again, asking him not to tell anyone about Gu Yin, and then returned to her room.

in the room.

Gu Jingzhi was sitting on the kang, leaning against the south wall to rest. He opened his eyes when he heard the sound.

Looking at Li Xi who came in holding an oil lamp, Gu Jing subconsciously looked away. They had clearly been in the same room that day, but it was now dark and he always felt that the room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Li Xi didn't notice that something was wrong with him. She put the oil lamp on the table and took out a set of old bedding from the cabinet beside her. It was her original bedding.

Li Xi took the bedding onto the bed without saying a word and spread it out against the north wall.

Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi's shy movements and was shocked. "You want to sleep here?"

Even though the people in the north were tough and open-minded, he had seen people as courageous as her.

Not only did she rescue the stranger of unknown identity and origin and put him in her room, she even planned to sleep on the same kang with the stranger whom she had just met for less than a day.

Li Xi stopped what she was doing and looked at Gu Jingzhi, "What else, are you going to sleep on the floor?"

In this weather, if you sleep on the ground, you will turn into an ice sculpture the next day. In ancient times when a cold could take a life, even if she was a doctor, she would not gamble with herself.

Well, she admitted that she had never been one to put herself in a difficult position.

After Li Xi finished speaking, he stood up and blew out the oil lamp on the table, walked to the bed he had just made in the dark, took off his coat and got directly into the cup.

In the dark night, Gu Jingzhi listened to the sound of people taking off clothes, and his ears felt hot and red.

The kang in the room had been heated since the meal was cooked. At this time, the temperature had just risen. Li Xi, who had crawled into the quilt, sighed with relief, "It's comfortable——"

Li Xi closed her eyes and said, "I saw nothing when I applied the medicine to you, so there is really no need for you to be shy now.

In front of the doctor, no matter if they are men or women, they are just a piece of meat."

After hearing what Li Xi said, Gu Jingzhi fell silent...

After a while, Gu Jingzhi heard the breathing sound gradually slowing down and knew that she had fallen asleep. He looked at the bulge in the darkness speechlessly, then lay down and closed his eyes.

Forget it, so be it.

The next day, when Li Xi woke up, she saw Gu Yin had folded his quilt and was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.

Gu Yin did not open his eyes when he heard Li Xi getting up.

"Okay, I'm dressed now, you can open your eyes." Li Xi glanced at the "gentleman" over there and raised her eyebrows.

When Gu Jingzhi opened his eyes, he saw Li Xi raising her arms to tie her hair.

Gu Jingzhi: ...

"When do you plan to leave?"

She was planning to take him in, but not indefinitely. The kang in her room was big, and she didn't mind sleeping on the same kang with him, but it would still be troublesome after a long time.

What's more, it is impossible for him to stay in the room all the time. Not to mention other things, it would at least be inconvenient for him to go to the toilet.

Yesterday he sneaked out when no one was paying attention, but this is not a long-term solution.

As for the fact that she had received 500 taels of silver notes which were far above the market price, Li Xi had already forgotten about it. After all, she had a monopoly and it was reasonable that the price was high.

Gu Jingzhi: ...
