The flowering period works

Chapter 439: Some Rejoice, Some Sorrow

    

the same height as Old Li Si, somewhat thin. His clothes and trousers were dirty and tattered, and his hair was matted together in strands, covering his eyes and most of his face.Could it be that the...Li Laotai nodded and replied, "Food, clothing, and shelter amount to ten taels. Adding everything together, it comes to thirty taels. Gong girl pays the silver, and our two families are considered settled. From now on, even if we pass each other on the street, there's no need to greet each other."

"Grandmother..." Gong Yunshu was about to kneel, but she was stopped by He Mamá who helped her up.

After all these days, Grandma He persuaded, "Miss, you should still listen to me! Today I forgive you one time, but if others find out, they will all come to trample on the Li family. Just offer them some gifts as compensation, and the Li family will still be able to make a living!"

"Many mistakes, once made, are just made. Don't think about fixing them!"

Shuiling was quick with her words, following up and saying, "Gong girl, you've read books too, so don't take advantage!"

Gong Yunshu really wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She quickly rummaged through her purse and placed thirty taels of silver notes on the table beside Li Laotai's hand.

Lao Li didn't stand on ceremony. She handed the gift to Zhang Shenyi and shouted, "Send them off!"

Grandma He and Shui Ling hurriedly carried Gong Yunshu out. Gong Yuan, being young, was startled and followed them out.

The midwife's eyes darted around incessantly, glancing at Li Lao Er as well, but was sternly reprimanded by Li Lao Tai!

"Behave yourselves! Get out! If I hear a single word of gossip from any of you Gong family members, you won't have a good life!"

The midwife was so frightened that she shrank her neck and ran away.

Li Lao'er also understood, this woman or the Gong family was after his idea.

He had ten thousand regrets in his heart. He shouldn't have been soft-hearted before, and he had taken good care of Gong's siblings.

Although he had become an Earl, deep down he still thought of himself as an ordinary farmer and did not have the awareness of becoming someone well-regarded…

The village head also sighed, "Saving people was wrong!"

"Indeed," Zhao Shu and the others shook their heads, "We need to remember this lesson in the future and not be taken advantage of."

Everyone was afraid of embarrassing Li La Er, so they sat for a short while before leaving.

In the afternoon, Li Laosan unexpectedly returned from Los Angeles Town and brought a half-man-high wooden horse for Fu Niuer.

The wooden sculpture is incredibly lifelike and polished to a smooth finish, without a single splinter.

The handles on both sides of the horse head allow you to sit comfortably and rock back and forth without fear of falling.

Jia Yin especially liked it, as soon as it was put at the end of the kang, she rode on it and wouldn't get off.

While she was at it, Li Laotai pulled her son aside and told him about recent happenings at home, so he would have an idea of the situation. She feared that outsiders might take advantage of the situation in Luo An's absence, leaving the family vulnerable.

Li Laosan was furious. He lived far away and couldn't come back often. Every time he received news, things were already over.

Li Laotai couldn't bear to see her son like this, so she quickly advised him, "You don't have to worry about home, you have your two older brothers."

"Your task is to take care of a few children, their studies are important. In the future, when they succeed, the family will be less afraid of being targeted by bad people."

"Understood, mother," Li Laosan replied. Thinking about buying land, he added, "Mother, I found suitable good farmland in Lu'an, a total of thirty mu. It's not much, but for growing vegetables, it's enough to supply the shop. It's just that the shop doesn't have a suitable…"

"Don't worry, this is a big deal, just take your time looking for it." Old Lady Li comforted her son, "You can now stand on your own, look at these things and handle them. Mother believes in you."

Li Laosan scratched his head, coaxed into a smile by his mother, looking even more honest and reliable.

The two discussed some family matters for a while, and then Lao San hurried back to Lu'an.

Jia Yin hurried to the Ye family's courtyard and then had Ye Shan move a basket of vegetables and fruits into the carriage.

Jia Yin embraced Third Uncle, whispering softly, "Third Uncle, these are for you and Third Aunt, as well as your brothers to eat."

Li Laosan knew his niece's family lived in Zhuangzi, and often sent good things over. But he thought providing for his older brother's restaurant was enough.

To his surprise, his little niece had left some for them. His heart was so sweet, sweeter than honey.

It's no wonder the whole family dotes on this child like he's their apple of their eye, he's truly a lovable kid.

"Okay, don't worry, Fu Niuer. Third Uncle will quietly take it home. Tonight, Third Aunt will cook it for your brothers."

"Uncle Three is tired, Uncle Three eats too." Jia Yin hugged this most inconspicuous, yet most down-to-earth and reliable uncle.

Li Laosan rubbed his little niece's soft hair, he really didn't want to leave, but there were still a few boys over in Lu'an.

Grandma Li stepped forward to take the little granddaughter, and smiled, “Alright, stop being clingy. If you keep delaying, it’ll be dark soon. When Jiahuan gets married, the academy will also be on winter break. You can come back and stay for a few more days then.”

Okay, I'll listen to my mother. Li Laosan smiled and waved goodbye to his mother and niece before hopping onto the carriage and heading back to Luo An...

The Fritillaria cirrhosa became popular again in the Xindu area because it was a secret menu item.

The booked guests are simply non-stop, directly lining up until six months later.

Even those who wouldn't be considered regulars at a private kitchen would be willing to come to Xianke for a visit.

Because Xian Ke Lai has implemented new regulations, two new dishes will be launched every month.

These new dishes are all from the secret menu!

That means even if you don't order private dishes, you can still try new dishes, just have to wait a little longer.

Just as Tao Hongying reached the third place, Jia Yi and Liu Yang finally brought the small boat team back.

This time, because there was plenty of ice, the spoilage was minimal.

And the diners at Xian Kelai finally remembered that Xian Kelai was a seafood restaurant...

Needless to say, the Xianshilai restaurant was booming with business thanks to its fresh seafood.

In a blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

Little Liu's full moon wine party is over, and now Mrs. Liu can go out for a walk.

In the village, most families had little to do. Occasionally, they would go into town for a stroll, buy some things, or just enjoy the excitement.

Of course, everyone has to go see Xianke.

This is Li Zhensheng's business, just like his own territory.

As the villagers glanced at the bustling scene in the wine shop, on their way home, they walked with a proud swagger.

Some families are happy, some are sad. The Li family is doing well, everything is going smoothly and they are making a lot of money every day.

But the Wang family was shrouded in gloom. From the front yard to the back, servants numbered in the hundreds, each walking with hunched shoulders, afraid even to make a sound for fear of displeasing their master.

In the front yard study, Old Master Wang's brow was furrowed like an iron knot. He opened his mouth and asked Chang Sui, "How is Lao San doing"

Chang Sui bent over slightly, cautiously replying, “The Third Master still feels cold and wants to eat something at any time. He’s feeling a little better now, so he's taking a walk in the courtyard to bask in the sun.”

Old Master Wang sighed and was about to ask a few more questions when a servant ran in to report, "Master, someone from the government office has come again! They are asking if we have found Second Butler!"

"You've gone too far!" Old Master Wang's face turned ashen, he grabbed the teacup and smashed it to pieces.

They showed up at the door the day before yesterday and scared the third one into this state! And today they dare to come back!

Chang Sui and the little maid were both holding their breath, just about to consider whether they should try to persuade him when suddenly there was a commotion in the courtyard.

"Stop Third Master, quickly!"

"Third Uncle, don't be afraid, the officials aren't here to arrest you!"asn't tied securely and ran away.The old man stamped his foot angrily and shouted, "Can't you just be honest with me for a while Why are you hitting it It can still bloom!"Having said that, he still w...
