Chapter 81: Local Tyrant, Let's Be Friends!

nes in the neighboring cave who could be considered laborers were Master Liu and the village head.Perhaps Heaven has a bit of favoritism towards people, as the weather these days is actually warmer th...Before she could speak, Ye Gongzi at the doorway of the west house laughed.

"Little girl, come here and settle the account!"

Jiayin's eyes lit up immediately, and she ran over with her little short legs.

The Li family was preparing ingredients outside, and Dongmei put down her box and went out too.

Jia Yin immediately pounced on the chest, drool dripping...

Young Master Ye casually picked her up and then opened the box.

The pile of dazzling silver made Jia Yin's eyes hurt, her excitement causing her little legs to kick wildly. She wished she could hug the silver and roll around in it.

Miss Ye couldn't help but laugh and took out four silver ingots, placing them in front of Jia Yin.

"Last night and this morning, you gave me four pieces of medicine, one piece for each silver ingot. Is that enough"

Jiayin nodded vigorously, her small head bobbing like a chick pecking at rice.

This is quite a surprise!

Her original plan was to sell two pills at a time for five taels each, which would be very profitable.

To their surprise, a single piece was sold for five taels of silver.

This Young Master is truly a wealthy person, these thick thighs absolutely have to be held!

She hugged all the silver coins close to her chest, happily wagging her tail.

My mother works hard in the kitchen, earning only two ounces for a whole day's labor.

She gave up a few pills of antibiotics, and she got twenty taels.

This deal is too good to be true!

She hurriedly retreated down the kang while Grandma was away, clutching the silver and running towards the east room.

Actually, as soon as she stepped out the door, she put all the silver ornaments away in her spatial pouch.

When it was lunchtime, Tao Hongying, this skilled homemaker, got excited with the ingredients and showed off her culinary skills.

On the small kang table in front of Young Master Ye, there was a plate of blanched Chinese broccoli, a plate of minced meat eggplant, a plate of cold salad, and a bowl of fish ball tofu soup.

The staple dish is a soft, golden omelet with a sprinkle of fresh green onion. It looks so appetizing!

Young Master Ye had eaten until he was eight parts full. Dongmei packed up the remaining food, eating contentedly and making plans to go to the city in a few days.

Without ingredients, it's incomplete.

After the meal, Jia Yin found some free time and gave Ye Gongzi two more pieces of medicine. She received two silver ingots again...

Li Laotai watched her granddaughter nap, seeing the little girl giggle in her dreams. She whispered to Zhao Yuru, who was stitching across from her.

"Funiu'er seems to really like Ye Gongzi. She runs over several times a day. Look, she's even smiling in her sleep."

Zhao Yuru also smiled and replied.

Master Ye looks gentle and polite, and he is also patient with Fu Niuer. Fu Niuer is smart; if you are not kind to her, she will not be close to you.

Grandma Li nodded and felt relieved.

After all, no one in the family knew better than her how clever her granddaughter was.

Thus, Jiayin ran further west into the house, and she stopped chasing after her.

Winter Plum had initially worried that the little girl would distract her master from recuperating. However, every time she saw her master playing with the little girl, his face was filled with smiles. Instead, she began to hope that the little girl would stay in the west wing for longer.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. I took three meals of pills every day, plus Tao Hongying's careful care for my diet.

Ye Gongzi's condition has actually improved significantly. Although he still coughs occasionally, it's a world of difference compared to when he coughed up blood.

Winter Plum's heart ached that her husband hadn't brought the divine doctor over yet, but seeing how miraculously her master had recovered, she felt like kneeling down to thank heaven and earth.

But Jia Yin was the happiest of all, collecting money three times a day, two silver coins each time. She was practically rolling in it!

Occasionally, when she saw the silver box with half of it missing, she also felt a pang of guilt.

Then, she took out a brand of freeze-dried powder that boosted immunity from the refrigerator.

He quietly poured a drink into the water cup and then, with a pained expression, pushed it towards Master Ye.

Young Master Ye didn't understand. It was just a cup of water, what was there to be heartbroken about But he still raised his hand and drank it down.

As a result, the little girl immediately crawled to the box, took out a silver ingot, and ran away with a smile.

Miss Ye couldn't help but laugh and cry. Now even drinking water costs money...

Of course, he wouldn't mind, let alone care about a few hundred taels of silver. His fortune was far beyond such trivial amounts.

This time going out was truly dangerous. My information leaked, and I was surrounded by dozens of people. It took a lot of effort to survive.

At a critical moment, the evidence he had painstakingly obtained after much hardship fell into the water. Without a second thought, he jumped in.

Although I got what I wanted, I also suffered from both cold and heat.

Just when the heat finally subsided, my old cough came back.

As I passed through this small village, it was still three hundred miles from Kyoto.

He once thought that he would never set foot in Kyoto again.

Never would he have thought that a small farm yard could save his life.

A typical family, warm and attentive.

A common farmer's wife, her cooking skills rival those of a master chef.

An ordinary little girl, with a silver coin in one hand and pills in the other, secretly sought him out for a deal.

Less than two hundred taels, he bought back half of his life.

Even if the great mountain wouldn't send a divine physician, he could go back to Kyoto now.

But he suddenly felt like staying a little longer, recuperating, and taking a well-deserved break.

Entering Kyoto, it is a storm of blood and wind, a life out of one's own control.

But in this courtyard, there is only harmony and tranquility, as well as a touch of mystery...

Winter Plum came out of the kitchen with a plate of chilled rice cakes and saw that the two mischievous boys from the Li family were listlessly standing in the courtyard. She couldn't help but smile.

Needless to say, the two mischievous ones were punished by their grandmother.

Jia Yin leaned against the windowsill, clapping her hands with glee and making faces at her two brothers.

The two boys were fuming with anger, rolling their eyes and sticking out their tongues in a silent "war" with their sister.

Winter Plum looked even more amused. When she entered the room, she said to her mistress:

"A big family is lively and fun."

Young Master Ye seemed to have thought of something, his eyes darkened for a moment, and Dongmei immediately regretted speaking out of turn.

She quickly changed the subject, "Master, DaShan hasn't come back yet. I wonder if he encountered something on the way I think I should go into town to ask the informants..."

Young Master Ye shook his head, "There must be a mole within the dark guards. Contacting our underground network now would easily expose our location. Let's wait a little longer. Big Mountain is always cautious and surely won't have any problems."

Winter Plum nodded quickly in agreement. Her husband's message was certainly important, but her master's safety came first.

"I'll go into town again tomorrow to buy groceries and find a silversmith to prepare a generous gift. At the end of the month is Fu Niu's first birthday, so I want to show my best wishes."

"Yes, Master," Dongmei laughed. "That little girl loves gold and silver so much, she'll probably pick out some gold jewelry. I doubt she'd be pleased with things like jade or agate."

Young Master Ye also curled the corner of his mouth, remembering the little chubby girl lying on the box drooling. His eyes were full of smiles.

"Children are so adorable."

July skies are the hottest of the year.

Only when the sun sets and the earth is shrouded in darkness will the evening breeze bring a slight coolness.

After dinner, Ye Gongzi had a bowl of chicken shredded cold noodles. His stomach was full and satisfied, rarely taking a walk in the courtyard.

Jiā xǐ jiā ān háo qí, gēn qián gēn hòu, wèn qūi wài miàn de shì jiè.

Jia Yin joined in the fun too, but unfortunately her legs were too short, and she was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Finally, the old woman felt sorry for her and took her to bathe.

Soon, night fell, and everyone went to sleep.

Tomorrow, there will still be weeding in the fields, ridge-building, and when it's busiest, it will be harvest time.

When everyone was fast asleep, dreaming sweet dreams, nobody expected a dark shadow to suddenly creep into the yard!

In the west chamber, Ye Gongzi and Dongmei almost opened their eyes at the same time.

Winter Plum was surprised and whispered, "Is it Big Mountain who's back"

"Wait, that's not Big Mountain! Go check outside and protect the Li family."sinesses, bringing in some income for the family. 。The Lord listened and nodded, becoming even more impressed by his elder brother's intellect. 。Thus, it appeared to be a simple exchange, yet each par...
