After being ambushed and forced to self-destruct, Liu Shile opened her eyes to find herself back in the legendary impoverished era from over a hundred years ago.
Looking at her farm, which ha...
To be fair, they weren't unsophisticated people; they had eaten dried fruit before.
However, there are not many people who can produce this item nowadays, especially in a city like Yizhou, which is not a very large city.
Du Yunfan reacted faster than his son, shaking his head with a serious expression.
He simply said, "Lele, Uncle Du has already received his payment, so why would he want these nice things? You should take them back!"
"Uncle Du, that's not very nice of you. These are just little snacks for my younger brothers, they have nothing to do with you!"
She pouted in dissatisfaction, put the dried fruit into the large bowl, and then quickly picked up the basket and left.
Although she didn't want to exert herself too much today, she had to in this situation, and she also had to walk quickly.
Her departure, as swift as the wind, left Du Sizhe completely stunned.
He subconsciously swallowed and looked at his father, "Dad, am I having a mental awakening?"
Otherwise, how could he have seen a little girl carrying a heavy load and walking briskly?
Du Yunfan patted his boss on the shoulder and said quietly, "Sizhe, you didn't see wrong."
You must always remember, appearances can be deceiving. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, would you believe she had such strength?
Du Sizhe shook his head. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, his first suspicion would still be whether the basket was empty.
This is really hard to believe. It seems he was too naive before.
Today, that little girl really taught him a lesson.
From now on, he will definitely remember not to look down on anyone, especially his future classmates and alumni!
After leaving the Du family's courtyard, Liu Shile began to collect the items and move them to the farm.
She didn't do much strenuous work yesterday, but her body is already feeling the strain today, and she doesn't want to make things worse.
Even after she had delivered all the baskets to the farm, it was still very early, and she didn't immediately return to the guesthouse.
Instead, they watched as early risers began their busy day.
Honestly, people are really hardworking at this time of day; it's only around five o'clock.
Most people have already gotten up and started working.
Although this is in the city, there are still many things to do every day.
I have to do all the laundry, cooking, cleaning, and other chores.
Some families also raise chickens and grow vegetables, and they need to finish all their household chores before going to work.
Many of the children also wanted to get up and help the adults with their tasks.
Liu Shile quietly watched as the peaceful city went into a busy period.
Most people's faces were beaming with smiles, reflecting their longing for a better future.
They seem to possess a power that can deeply move people.
However, Liu Shile was not impressed by them; instead, she was somewhat puzzled.
She couldn't understand why people could still show genuine smiles when they were living in such poverty.
Actually, she didn't know that the time she traveled to was a bit unusual.
In earlier years, people did not have an easy life and were oppressed.
But what about now? Their lives are safe and stable, and they are in a time when everything is waiting to be rebuilt.
Almost everyone has a strong drive.
Now, wherever the country needs them to contribute, they go, adding bricks and tiles to the country's construction, without the slightest complaint.
Liu Shile, on the other hand, is different. Her upbringing makes it difficult for her to understand people's feelings today.
So she was like a passerby, watching everyone enthusiastically embrace the new day.
When she returned to the guesthouse after buying breakfast, her second brother had already gotten up, washed up, and was waiting for her.
In the past few days, Liu Shihua has basically come to understand that her younger sister is a girl who can't sit still.
At home, my younger sister is very quiet and well-behaved, and she does things in a rather mild-mannered manner.
But now, things have changed quite a bit. He's decisive and efficient in his work, and he always has a smile on his face.
Another thing is that she loves to eat. Whenever she sees something delicious, her eyes crinkle with a smile.
Liu Shihua pondered that he might need to improve his cooking skills in order to take better care of his younger sister.
"Second brother, come and eat. After we finish eating, we'll go for a walk."
Liu Shile greeted her second brother with a smile and told him about her plans for the day.
"Lele, is there anything important you need to do here?"
If there's nothing important, I think we can go home early.
"It's too dangerous to stay here. It wouldn't be good if they found out what we look like now."
Once inside, Liu Shihua began to speak, revealing that he had been thinking about this matter for half the night.
He didn't understand why his sister insisted on staying in such a dangerous place.
"Yes, there is something. An old Chinese medicine doctor said I have a congenital deficiency and asked me to go see him tomorrow."
Liu Shile certainly couldn't say that the reason she stayed here was because she wanted to add more things to the farm.
And just like that, they dragged Old Hua into it, since he did indeed tell her to come find him.
At this point, Liu Shile glanced at her second brother and said, "Second brother, you'll come with me tomorrow."
His second brother also seemed to be in poor health, so Liu Shile decided to take him along.
She figured that no matter whether Old Master Hua was willing to teach her health preservation techniques or not, she would have to persuade him to show them to her second brother as well.
Upon hearing her sister's words, Liu Shihua immediately became nervous.
My younger sister has never been in good health; she almost didn't make it through several times when she was little.
Thanks to her older sister's meticulous care, the younger sister has managed to grow up to be this big.
However, the old Chinese medicine doctors who examined my sister in the past only said that she needed to take good care of her health.
But given the family's circumstances, and the fact that the mother didn't really like the two of them, they never got them properly cared for.
Now that he heard it was a congenital deficiency, he immediately became frightened.
I've heard that people with congenital deficiencies don't live long!
So he said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, second brother will go with you tomorrow. But is that old Chinese medicine doctor reliable?"
Could it be a scam or a fraudulent scheme?
Thinking of that old man Hua, Liu Shile smiled and nodded slightly.
"He's a very skilled old gentleman. Second brother, you'd better be quick-witted. I want him to teach us some health-preserving exercises!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shihua's eyes widened. The old Chinese medicine doctor also knew about health preservation techniques?
This sounds like a scam!
But when he thought that his younger sister was much smarter than him now, his disbelief vanished instantly.
"Okay, your second brother will go with you tomorrow. I hope the old man can cure Lele's congenital deficiency."
He nodded emphatically. No matter how dangerous it was, he had to stay here because his sister's health was the most important thing.
In the past, our family didn't have enough money to allow my younger sister to take good care of her health.
Now that my younger sister has her own money, she has the ability to take good care of herself.
If this old Chinese medicine doctor could cure my sister's congenital deficiency, that would be wonderful.
The thought that her younger sister might have a healthy body made Liu Shihua very happy for her.
Liu Shile shrugged inwardly. It seemed she wouldn't be able to buy the medicine today; it was her own fault for lying.
