After hoarding billions of goods and traveling through the book, he farmed in another world to suppo

After taking the medicine, Xiao Li continued to rest. Li Jinhua then took Xiao Shugen to the Lu family to cancel the engagement, leaving Xiao Lao San to take care of Xiao Li.

When Lin Cao came in carrying the crying Xiao Manbao, Xiao Laosan could no longer sit still. He said, "I'll go and take a look" and opened the door to go out.

Xiao Li recalled his original body's memories of his third uncle Mo Lincao and sixth brother Baoger, both of whom were kind-hearted and caring people who loved their families, so he stood up and followed them out.

Xiao Lao San was so anxious holding his little brother who was crying like a tearful person. He kept saying, "Baby, be good. Don't cry. Daddy is here!"

Xiao Li was speechless, thinking that this father might not be as good as himself at coaxing the child.

He walked over and touched the little boy's head, then asked softly, "Why are you crying, Baoer?"

"Fourth brother, hold me, woo woo..."

The little guy is not big and has a pointed face, but his facial features are very delicate. His tearful look really touches people's hearts.

Xiao Li actually doesn’t like children very much, but cute and obedient children are exceptions.

"Okay, Fourth Brother will hold you." He stretched out his hand to hold the little guy, but Xiao Lao San and Bao Ge'er dodged him.

"Bao'er, your fourth brother is not feeling well today. Can you let him hold you in a few days?"

Baoger, who is usually well-behaved and obedient, was still distressed and wanted to pounce on Xiao Li after hearing what his father said.

"No, no, I want Fourth Brother to hold me. Baoer wants Fourth Brother to hold me..."

The little guy cried so pitifully. Lin Cao looked at his son and then at his injured nephew. His pretty face was full of confusion and he didn't know who to comfort for a long time.

Xiao Li knew that he was fine, so he insisted on holding Baoger in his arms, gently stroking the little guy's back, and watched with amusement as he stopped crying as soon as he was in his arms.

"Why are you so clingy to Fourth Brother today? Normally, every time you see Fourth Brother, you always turn around and run away. Tell me, who bullied you?"

"Everyone says that Fourth Brother's head is bleeding a lot. Last time, Ergou's father had a brain hemorrhage and died soon after. Baoer doesn't want Fourth Brother to die. Baoer likes Fourth Brother. Can Fourth Brother not die?"

The little guy sobbed for a long time and finally explained what happened clearly.

It turned out that she had heard outside that Xiao Li had a head injury, and thought of Ergou's father who died of a head injury, and was afraid that Xiao Li would also die because of it, so she ran back from outside crying.

Xiao Li flicked his forehead, feeling both amused and helpless. "You might not be very old, but you think a lot. Who told you that a brain hemorrhage would definitely kill you? Didn't you see that your fourth brother is fine? If he was really dying, do you think he would still have the strength to hold you?"

Bao Ge'er is only three years old at most, and he is the pampered little boy in the family. He doesn't understand many things yet.

At this moment, Xiao Li broke it down and told him so much. He looked at Xiao Li in confusion and asked, "Is Fourth Brother okay?"

Xiao Li snorted lightly, "Of course it's okay."

"I'm so glad that Fourth Brother is okay!" Bao Ge'er frantically wiped his tears with his chubby little hands, then struggled to get up. "I'm going to tell them that my Fourth Brother is okay!"

"...Be careful, run home if someone bullies you," Xiao Li put him down and watched the little guy run away with his short legs before looking away.

Xiao Laosan was still staring at the direction where Baoger left. He looked so eager that if you didn't know him, you would think he had become an abandoned old father.

Meeting Lin Cao's concerned gaze, Xiao Li nodded slightly, "Third Uncle, I'm fine."

Lin Cao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. "I'm glad you're okay. A head injury is no small matter. Go back and rest."

Xiao Li was about to respond when there was a knock on the gate.

Seeing him looking towards the door, Lin Cao motioned him not to move and then went to open the door himself.

The door opened, and outside appeared a middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes with a graceful demeanor.

Uncle Lu and Lin Cao were from the same place and married to Yangliu Village. Both of them have the surname Lin, and their name is Lin Qing.

The two were friends before they got married, so they were not strangers.

Father Lu took Lin Cao's hand and said bluntly without beating around the bush, "Brother Yuan is worried about Xiao Si, so I came to see if there's anything I can do to help."

Lin Cao didn't know about Lu Yuan and Xiao Li yet. He was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously turned his head to look at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li also heard what Father Lu said. After a moment of silence, he said, "Third Uncle, please let me in first."

"Hey! Good!" Lin Cao took Uncle Lu into the main room and poured him a bowl of brown sugar water. "Qing'er, have a drink of water."

No one in the village has an easy life. Who would be willing to serve a good thing like brown sugar that can replenish blood to guests unless they really value the visitors?

Although Uncle Lu's family doesn't have a heavy burden, he doesn't earn much either. The bulk of the money has to be given to the public, and he can only drink brown sugar water a few times a year.

Despite this, faced with such a rare thing, he did not rush to touch it. Instead, he quietly observed the reactions of Xiao Lao San and Xiao Li, paying special attention to the latter.

Seeing that neither of them reacted, as if this was just ordinary well water, he couldn't help but nod secretly.

The third branch of the Xiao family is not a stingy person, so when Yuan'er marries in, there is no need to worry about being treated harshly with food.

Besides, Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao are not the kind of people who would bully others. Even if the conditions are average now, with a talented scholar like Xiao Li around, I believe that life will get better soon.

"Brother Cao, you don't have to entertain me. I'm just here to take a look and will be leaving soon." Uncle Lu finished his brown sugar water and placed Lu Yuan's purse on the table, staring straight at Xiao Li. "Brother Yuan asked me to bring this. It's the money he's saved since he was a child."

Hearing this, Xiao Li was stunned at first, then shook his head and refused, "Uncle Lin, take it back to him and tell him that I still have some extra money at home, so let him keep it for himself."

Uncle Lu stared at him for a long time, and only after confirming that he was not pretending to refuse did he reveal a satisfied smile.

He is about the same age as Lin Cao, actually not that old, and looks even younger when he smiles.

"If I take it back, I'm afraid Brother Yuan will be angry and ignore me. If you really don't want to keep it, you can return it to him when you see him one day."

After saying this, he stood up, patted the wrinkles on his clothes, and said as he walked out: "The people have seen it, and the things have been delivered. I will go back first."

Lin Cao subconsciously wanted to see him off, but after taking two steps, he remembered something and winked at Xiao Li.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Uncle Lu would most likely be his father-in-law in the future. Following the suggestion of his third uncle, Xiao Li followed and sent the man out.

Father Lu turned around, smiled and waved at him, and said gently: "No need to send me off, go back, I know the roads in the village better than you do."

Xiao Li: “…” That’s true.

He nodded and said okay, but still followed him for a while. Finally, when Uncle Lu was out of sight, he turned around and walked back.

As soon as he entered the door, he was pulled by Xiao Laosan to sit in the main hall. Uncle San was sitting on a stool next to him, guarding the purse left by Uncle Lu.

Xiao Lao San sat down next to him and then bombarded Xiao Li with a bunch of questions.

"Li'er, what's going on between you and Brother Yuan? Why did Brother Yuan ask his little dad to send you money when he was fine? He saved you today, not you, did I remember correctly?"

Xiao Li promised to get engaged to Lu Yuan as soon as possible. When asked about the little brother, he did not hide anything and told the truth except that the little brother was trying to repay a favor.

After talking for a long time, Xiao Li felt a little thirsty, so he poured himself a cup of tea. Before putting down the teapot, he saw the two people opposite him out of the corner of his eye, so he poured a cup for each of them.

Although he was originally the nephew of Xiao Laosan, he was actually adopted by him and was his adopted son in the true sense, but they had always been regarded as uncle and nephew.

Xiao Li had no intention of rushing to recognize anyone as his father. The main reason was that he was several years older than Xiao Lao San before he died, and he really couldn't call him father, so he planned to keep everything as it was.

But even though he couldn't call out the name, at least the original body was raised and sent to a private school, so he didn't have to take over a body that was tortured and full of illnesses.

This favor must be remembered.

After drinking a few cups of tea, the dryness in his throat was relieved. Xiao Li listened to the whispers of Xiao Lao San and his wife, and finally they reached a consensus.

Xiao Lao San: "Li'er, you are the smartest and most capable person in our Xiao family. You are more accurate in judging people and things. You think that Brother Yuan is good, so Brother Yuan must be good. Our family will not treat him harshly just because he is a brother... I don't know how to explain the big principles, anyway, you just need to know that Third Uncle and your Third Uncle are on your side."

"Thank you, Uncle San and Uncle San."

Xiao Li had rarely received such unconditional favoritism before, and for a moment he was even a little jealous of the original body.

To be frank, he not only felt that his death was well deserved, but his original self also...

He couldn't guarantee anything else, but as long as the third branch of the Xiao family and the old couple didn't betray him, he would be willing to protect them for the rest of his life.

Xiao Laosan was a rough man. He felt a little embarrassed when being thanked. His ears turned red and he mumbled "hmm".

Lin Cao glanced at him with amusement, then looked at Xiao Li and shook his head helplessly.

"You, you, why are you always so polite? Don't forget that we are family. Thanking each other all the time will only make us seem strangers."

Xiao Li's heart moved, and he responded, "Third Uncle is right. I will keep it in mind in the future."

Lin Cao sighed and subconsciously said, "Li'er seems to have changed a little today. He used to be very nice, but now he seems more approachable."

Xiao Li remained silent, thinking that it was more than just a change, it was basically a completely changed core. It would be strange if there was no change at all.

It was almost time for dinner when Xiao Shugen and Li Jinhua came in carrying a lot of things.

Lin Cao was cooking in the kitchen, Xiao Laosan was helping him, and Xiao Lize, the patient, was responsible for accompanying Baoger.

To be exact, it was Bao Ge'er who was accompanying him obediently.

Two figures, one big and one small, sat under a big tree, each holding a broken fan in their hands, fanning themselves intermittently. They looked so identical that no one would dare to say they were not brothers.

Hearing the noise, Baoger slid down from the chair and rushed towards the old couple with his short legs.

"Grandpa and grandma, where have you been? Why did you come back just now? Bao'er hasn't seen you for a long time. If you don't come back soon, Bao'er will be starving."

Xiao Shugen quickly handed the things to Li Jinhua, then bent down to pick up the little guy and touched his shriveled belly curiously.

"Why is our Bao'er so pitiful? It's all because of grandpa and grandma. Let's go see if your father has prepared the meal. Don't let our Bao'er starve."

Li Jinhua was in a panic when a pair of slender hands suddenly reached out from the side and took away most of the things from her hands, leaving only some light objects for her to hold.

The old lady then noticed Xiao Li and wanted to say something, but seeing his steady steps, she didn't open her mouth.

The things the old couple brought back were all given to the Lu family when they got engaged. Several years have passed, so the things are naturally not the same as before, but what the Lu family hurriedly gathered together today.

In fact, the Lu family did not want to cancel the marriage, but they could not bear Lu Youfu's unwillingness. Not only did they make the matter known to everyone, but they also made it so embarrassing. If they, as outsiders, did not want to offend the Xiao family, they had no choice but to return the things honestly.

Because the original body valued Lu Youfu so much, even if they were engaged, the things he took away were at least worth five taels.

Most people in Yangliu Village would only get a bag of brown sugar, two pieces of pork and some ordinary cakes as an engagement gift, which would not exceed one or two taels of silver in total.

One can imagine how much the villagers envied the Lu family and Lu Youfu when the two families got engaged.

Li Jinhua put things in place and went to the kitchen to help.

Soon, dinner was served.

There is a dish of stir-fried vegetables with lard residue, with more vegetables and less lard residue; a dish of cold wild vegetables; and the staple food is brown rice, one third of which is still rice bran.

A mouthful of brown rice was spit out and almost cut my throat.

Although he had experienced the end of the world, Xiao Li had never suffered such hardship in terms of food.

As soon as he put down his chopsticks, everyone at the table looked at him.

Seeing that he was not eating but only drinking water, Li Jinhua thought that he was worried about the remaining money at home and was reluctant to spend it. When she was about to tell him that the family was not that difficult, she saw him sitting there with a serious look on his face.

"Grandma, Third Uncle, Third Uncle?" He paused, met Bao Ge'er's eager eyes, and called his name, "Bao'er, I have something to say."

"What's the matter, Fourth Brother?" Baoger asked the old couple's thoughts.
