I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village
Chapter 85: Sensible Children Have No Candy
A cold yet magnetic voice came from behind, and Li Lan froze. Following the voice, he saw Zhou Yuntian standing on the other side of the roof with a sullen expression.
"Hi..."
Li Lan smiled and waved. Her smile looked like a paper flower withered by the scorching sun, stiff and awkward. She thought to herself: Let's go.
Standing on the roof, I peeked down and couldn't help but frown, thinking in my heart: "Wow, it's so high." Never mind.
At this time, in a room in the backyard of Manchunlou.
"Sir, should we go back?"
"Hmm. Huo Wu, have you found out the relationship between Miss Li and Master Zhou?"
"No, sir. I only know that Miss Li is currently living in the government office. I can't find anything else."
"Oh? Looks like someone doesn't want us to investigate."
He frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let it go for now. Don't check it again."
"Yes, son."
After saying that, the two of them walked towards the door. Huo Wu walked forward and opened the door, then suddenly screamed and sat on the ground in fright.
"Ah, sir, a ghost."
Huo Qiubai's eyes darkened and he hurriedly walked out. Looking at the person swinging in the air, his body stiffened involuntarily.
"Hi."
Looking at the person waving his hand, Huo Qiubai couldn't help but laugh out loud. Suddenly, another person appeared in the yard. Huo Qiubai's smile froze and his pupils shrank.
"Should I carry you down, or do you want to jump down yourself?"
"Hehehe, then please, Master Zhou, carry me down."
Li Lan now felt like dying. What kind of social demise was this? She wanted to cry, but she couldn't. Suddenly, she felt a flash before her eyes, and her feet landed firmly on the ground. And then, someone actually lifted her shirt by the back of her neck.
"Fuck, Zhou Yuntian, this straight guy, can't he be a little more romantic? Shouldn't he carry me like a princess? You just carried me when I told you to." Li Lan complained in her heart. She raised her head and glanced at Zhou Yuntian in anger.
Zhou Yuntian understood, let go of her collar, touched his nose, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
Li Lan snorted and took the lead to walk forward.
Huo Qiubai, standing under the eaves, looked at the two people walking away. His eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth rose, and he thought to himself: Interesting.
Two days later, early in the morning, at the government office.
"Li Yan, the agreement will be drafted according to what we discussed yesterday."
"Okay, girl."
"Miss, how many copies of the agreement do we need?"
Li Lan was stunned by his question. After thinking for a moment, he understood and said, "In triplicate. That means signing three agreements with one person."
"Okay, girl."
"Ma'am, help me."
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard. Li Lan was startled and looked in the direction of the voice.
The sight shocked him greatly. He saw Zhou Da with messy hair, dark circles under his eyes, pale face, his hands covering his stomach, hunched over, and walking towards him with unsteady and frivolous steps.
"Zhou Da, what's wrong with you?"
"Madam, please save me quickly and ask Li Xi to give me the antidote. I have been..." As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
As soon as these words came out, Li Yan, who was standing beside him, burst out laughing. Li Lan glanced over and immediately suppressed his laughter, saying, "Miss, I'll go write the agreement first."
"Zhou Da, you are such a fool! You actually dared to come to the girl's yard to complain. I will stop you..."
Li Xi was cursing, and just as he reached the gate of the yard, he saw Li Lan standing in the yard. He was shocked, lowered his head, and immediately fell silent.
On this side, when Zhou Da heard Li Xi's voice, he was so scared that he quickly hid behind Li Lan.
"How many days has it been?"
"Two days." Li Xi lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"That's about it. We can try something else next time. If it takes too long, it could easily lead to someone's death."
As soon as Li Lan said this, Li Xi's eyes lit up. She raised her head abruptly, walked over quickly, and said with a smile, "Miss, that's right."
Looking at the master and servant in front of him, Zhou Da wanted to cry but had no tears. He cried in his heart: Master, I want to go back.
Half an hour later, in the front hall of the government office.
"Cousin."
"Master Zhou."
"Ah."
The two seemed to be accustomed to his attitude and didn't care. They walked to the chairs nearby and sat down.
"Oh, you're here early. Okay, then you sign first."
Looking at Li Lan walking in from outside, Pei Sinan's eyes lit up and he stared at her closely.
Zhou Yunbei, who was standing aside, stole a glance at Zhou Yuntian, who was sitting at the upper seat. Seeing that Zhou Yuntian had a cold look in his eyes and a gloomy face, he quickly nudged Pei Sinan, who was sitting next to him, with his elbow.
"Li Yan, give them the agreement between Master Zhou and Master Pei."
"Yes, girl."
"Master Zhou, Master Pei, this agreement is in triplicate, with the government office as a witness. Our order quantity this time is limited to 100, and a deposit of half is sufficient. Delivery is scheduled for three months from now."
After hearing her words, the two looked at each other and nodded, "Yes."
Two people were signing the agreement. A moment later, the others were brought in one after another by servants. Li Lan repeated the content and the two supplementary conditions. Although the few people thought it was too little, they all signed the agreement happily.
After half a cup of tea, Li Lan stood up to see them off. As Huo Qiubai got on the carriage, he suddenly turned around and said, "Miss Li, if there's a chance, I'd like to visit Lijia Village."
"Okay, Mr. Huo, we welcome you at Lijia Village anytime."
"Okay." Huo Qiubai said with a smile, her eyes moved to Zhou Yuntian who was standing next to her with a gloomy face, she looked at Li Lan deeply, smiled and walked into the carriage.
"Hey, Yunbei, don't hold me back. I want to tell Miss Li that I will also go to Lijia Village in three months."
"Alright, Ancestor, is it alright for me to call you Ancestor? Didn't you see my cousin's expression? You better calm down."
Pei Sinan curled his lips and said nothing, then lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked out secretly.
In the evening, in the dining hall of the government office.
"We will return to Lijia Village early tomorrow morning."
Li Lan put down his bowl and chopsticks and said.
Zhou Yuntian paused holding the chopsticks, his eyes flickered slightly, he looked up at her and said softly, "Okay."
Looking at his forbearing and restrained appearance, Li Lan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: There is no candy for sensible children.
"After dinner, how about you accompany me for a walk in the garden?"
Zhou Yuntian smiled and said softly, "Okay."
Late at night, candlelight flickered in the study.
"Son."
"Enter."
After a while, Zhou Qi pushed the door open and walked in.
"Sir, we've found out about Li Chunhua."
"explain."
"Li Chunhua is indeed not Madam's biological fourth uncle."
Having said that, Zhou Qi paused and looked at Zhou Yuntian.
Zhou Yuntian's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Go on."
"Old Master Li found it deep in the mountains of Xishan that year. It's said that Old Master Li got lost and wandered into the mountains. Just as he was getting anxious and couldn't get out, he suddenly heard a baby crying. Following the sound, he found his way out. So Old Master Li immediately decided that this baby in swaddling clothes was his lucky star and had saved his life, so he brought the baby home and named him Li Chunhua, his fourth son.
Later, the child showed amazing talent in reading, and was deeply loved by Old Master Li and his wife. From the age of ten, whenever there was something that needed to be decided at home, they would consult him.
"Oh? Are there any others?"
Zhou Qi thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "Sir, I can't find any information about the baby before he appeared in the mountains. It seems like someone deliberately erased all traces of him."
After hearing this, Zhou Yuntian's eyes tightened and he frowned in deep thought. After a while, he said:
"Zhou Qi, go tell Zhou Da to leave with his wife and the others tomorrow."
"Yes, son."
