The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Yin Baicai quickly lit the stove fire, and Li Mo obediently sat on a small stool in front of the stove to help add firewood.

Li Mo: "Mom, is there enough firewood?"

"That's enough, that's enough. Little Mo, add more after it's all burned."

While stirring the vegetables in the pan, Yin Baicai spoke to Li Mo, who had asked the question.

It was getting late, and Yin Baicai didn't have time to steam rice, so he used all the leftover rice from lunch to make fried rice with eggs.

Before long, the three of them were sitting at the table eating, bowls and chopsticks in hand.

Li Mo ate the egg fried rice in her bowl and smiled sweetly at Yin Baicai: "The egg fried rice is delicious, Mom, eat up."

Yin Baicai asked, "Li the bully, did you come back so late because you've been hunting this sika deer the whole time?"

"Yes, I spotted the deer by chance and waited for the best opportunity to catch it. It was already dark when I came down the mountain."

Yin Baicai thought that the deer that Li Zhe caught was quite large, and deer antlers were also a very precious medicinal material. Li the bully had really hit the jackpot this time.

Thinking that tomorrow was market day, Yin Baicai decided to go to Manager Zhang's place in town in a couple of days, since it was almost time for their appointment anyway.

After dinner, Yin Baicai headed home alone.

Early in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, Li Zhe carried the sika deer he had hunted and hurried towards the town.

I happened to run into some villagers who were heading to town to sell their goods before dawn.

They were all astonished when they saw the deer that Li Zhe was carrying.

"My God! Is that bully Li hunting a deer? He's really lucky. He's probably going to make a fortune this time."

A woman with a sour tone chimed in, "So what if he earns a lot? He's just as ungrateful as his older brother, Li Qian. Li Jiang and Wang Huanhua raised the two brothers, but we haven't seen them show any filial piety to them, have we?"

"That's true. If I were Li Jiang, I would just let them fend for themselves. They'd never be filial even if I raised them."

"I heard that Li Jiang is still in bed, is that true?"

Qian, who was on good terms with Wang Huanhua, chimed in: "Yes, I went to see him last time. Li Jiang can't even get out of bed!"

"Why doesn't the village chief kick this ungrateful wretch out of the village for hitting his own uncle?!"

A man whispered closer, "It's probably because of his older brother's matter!" He then glanced around to see if anyone was asking questions.

The village chief specifically instructed that the matter of Li Qian's death must not be revealed.

This is indeed the fault of many people in the village. They saw someone in distress but did not help and hurriedly ran away. But who wouldn't be afraid when they see a tiger?

Li Qian's wife also died from poisoning herself because she was too shocked by Li Qian's death.

The village chief was afraid that if these things got out, it would damage the village's reputation, so he specifically instructed those who knew about it to keep their mouths shut.

Therefore, the villagers dared not talk about this matter anymore. If the village chief found out that someone was saying this, he would definitely be dragged in for questioning.

Over time, the villagers stopped talking about it.

Qian snorted coldly: "That's probably it. The village chief is taking care of Li Qian, so he's been extra lenient with what Li the bully has done. Otherwise, look at him, daring to hit his own uncle, wouldn't he have been dragged to the ancestral hall to be punished long ago?"

"Yeah, he might get punished even more severely than Tian Hunzi."

"Alright, let's get going quickly, or the good spots will all be taken by people from other villages."

Qian glanced at Li Zhe, who was carrying a sika deer and walking ahead of her. She thought that when she got back, she would talk to Huanhua and ask her to go to the door of Li the bully's house to ask for money for Li Jiang's medicine.

There's no such thing as someone who assaults another and doesn't have to pay for medical expenses!

Li Zhe was watched like a monkey by the villagers who were heading to town early in the morning.

However, most people were envious, thinking that they could make a lot of money by hunting such a good deer! It is said that the deer antlers of this deer were bought by the clinic for a lot of money.

However, they dared not venture into the deep mountains alone to hunt, as the dangers there were unknown. It wouldn't be worth risking their lives instead of making money.

Making money by hunting is not something everyone can do; it truly puts your life on the line.

Two people from their village have died on the mountain.

Yin Baicai's father, and the eldest son of the Li family.

They should just stick to farming honestly and diligently.

As Li Zhe carried the deer along the way, he attracted many stares from passersby.

We've just arrived at the town entrance.

Some people even wanted to offer Li Zhe a low price to buy the deer so they could resell it and make a fortune.

Seeing that Li Zhe came from a village below, a middle-aged man with cunning eyes said:

"Hey, you're a fine man. I think your deer is pretty good. How about five taels of silver? If you take it, I'm afraid no one will offer such a high price."

"Brother, don't listen to him. I'll offer six taels. You decide how much to sell."

Li Zhe knew that these people deliberately stopped people from the countryside at the town entrance, bought them at low prices, and then resold them at high prices to make a fortune.

He said coldly, "I'm not selling. Get out of the way."

"Hey, you're not even grateful. If you take it, I'm afraid no one will offer a higher price than us."

Li Zhe, his face dark, glanced at the group with his sharp, angular eyes.

The group of people hurriedly moved away in fear.

Li Zhe strode away. He had his own connections. These people thought they could buy his things with such a small amount of money. They were really delusional.

His deer antlers alone are worth more than six taels of silver. He really thinks he's some ignorant country bumpkin!

After Li Zhe had walked away, the group said regretfully, "What a pity! I think that deer was worth more than twenty taels! It would have been great if that man had sold it."

"You're still thinking about the deer that people are talking about? Didn't you see the terrifying aura emanating from that man? He's obviously an expert; how could we possibly fool him? Let's see if there are any other gullible people around before we do anything else."

"It's getting harder and harder to make money here. We can only make small amounts. We're not lucky enough to make big money."

"Who says it isn't?"

Li Zhe led the deer to a restaurant he was familiar with, a restaurant famous for selling wild game, which was full of wild game that had been collected from all over the place.

The wealthy gentlemen in town love this dish, and their business is booming.

Looking at the deer that Li Zhe had hunted, the shopkeeper said happily, "Brother Li, you've really saved me from a dire situation! Master Huang said he wanted me to prepare some game to entertain his guests!"

As soon as Li Zhe heard this, he knew that the shopkeeper was talking about the one he had followed last time. Could it be that he had hired the porter Yang Hu this time?

It seems I need to go find He Qi and the others to ask about the situation first.

The shopkeeper was so pleased that he immediately gave Li Zhe thirty taels of silver, saying, "Brother Li, send me any good stuff you have in the future!"

Li Zhe nodded absentmindedly.

The shopkeeper knew that the man was not good with words, so he happily told his assistant to carry the deer inside.

"Brother Li, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"

Li Zhe was still thinking about going to Lin Xing's place, so he declined the shopkeeper's offer and left.

After Li Zhe left, the innkeeper hurried back and instructed the head chef to prepare the venison feast, as Master Huang was going to host a banquet for guests that evening.
