Chapter 239 Deliberately Looking for Trouble



That night, Chen Li planted all the fruit trees in the space, and then used the wood-related ability to promote their growth. He bought five of each fruit tree.

Even after draining out all the wood-related abilities, all that was left was for all the fruit trees to bloom, with small fruits dotted on them.

Chen Li meditated and rested in the space until her wood-type ability recovered, and then continued to induce childbirth.

Only after harvesting a crop of fresh fruits did Chen Li stop temporarily and push his supernatural powers to let the saplings grow.

These saplings were planted in the place with the fastest flow rate in space. With the help of supernatural powers, the original three-year seedlings have now become six-year seedlings.

I picked up a peach, washed it and took a bite. The skin was thin and the juice was sweet. I didn’t buy the wrong variety.

Thinking about those obscure gazes outside the store this morning, it seems that finding a bodyguard is something that needs to be put on the agenda.

Oh, that’s not right. Now that I haven’t found any bodyguards, I can temporarily hire my cousin and others to help me run the store. Isn’t that great? It’s a win-win situation.

Early the next morning, Chen Li took the things and went to the Lin family, "Uncle, aunt, and second uncle."

"Ali is here, come in and sit down."

"Grandpa and grandma."

Chen Li gave the things he brought to his aunt, exchanged a few pleasantries with them, and then asked, "Aunt, what are my cousin and the others doing now?"

Speaking of this, my aunt's face was filled with disdain, but there was also a hint of pride in her expression. "What else can they do? They actually run to the mountains all day, take half of the prey they bring back to the city to sell to pay their debts, and keep the other half for their family to eat."

"Aunt, I'm looking for some guards for my shop in the county, but I haven't found anyone suitable yet. I'd like to ask my cousin and the others to come over and take care of the business. I'll pay them a monthly salary."

After hearing this, my aunt made the final decision: "Just ask your eldest and second cousins ​​to go over and help. It doesn't matter whether they ask for money or not."

The second uncle also nodded in agreement, "Just let them go over and help. We are all family, so let's not talk about money."

Chen Li shook her head. "That won't work. One thing is one thing. Besides, my cousin and his friends can earn money from hunting. If I call them all away, then I won't earn any money at all. That would be a shame!"

"If you don't give me money, I won't call them."

The Lin family members looked at each other and understood Chen Li's good intentions. Finally, the grandmother said directly: "Then let them go over and help you calm down the situation. As for the silver, just give them three or five hundred coins!"

"Okay, where are my cousin and the others?"

"I'm going to exercise the day after tomorrow. I should be back soon."

As soon as I mentioned them, they walked in from outside. They were not wearing thick clothes and there was some sweat on their foreheads.

"Ali is here!"

Cousin Lin Feng was holding a few wild rabbits, while Lin Zhuo was holding a half-grown wild boar, which had its hands and feet tied and was still groaning.

"Ali, this wild boar is tender, let's roast it and eat it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his aunt slapped him on the head. "Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat. Ah Li has important things to do, so how can she have time to roast wild boar with you?"

Chen Li covered her mouth and laughed unkindly, then quickly got down to business.

"Okay then, we'll go pack up and then follow you."

"good."

Lin Feng gave the rabbit to his mother to eat at home. As for the wild boar, which was still alive, he took it to the county and sold it for a good price.

After waiting for a while, he took his cousin and the others back. When they arrived at the door of their house, a carriage was already parked. Who else could the person sitting in the carriage be but Shen Yuanzhou?

"Third brother, what are you doing?"

Shen Yuanzhou bared his big white teeth and patted his chest: "Hey, Ah Li, I heard that you want your eldest cousin and the others to be guards, Third Brother, I can do it too!"

Chen Li held her forehead with her hand, then said with a smile: "Big cousin and the others have money to take, but if you go, third brother, you won't have any money!"

Shen Yuanzhou didn't care at all, "That's your shop, little sister. Can I take your money?"

Then he muttered quietly, "Just pack the food."

Chen Li: ...

Lin brothers:...

Shen Changshan just walked to the door. When he heard this, he walked over and slapped Shen Yuanzhou on the head without thinking. What a terrible son!

"Hiss, who..."

His eyes widened, he looked back, and instantly became grinning: "Haha, Dad."

Shen Changshan: "Okay, don't waste Ali's time here, go quickly if you need to."

"Okay."

Shen Yuanzhou drove the carriage, and several cousins ​​rode in the carriage into the city.

"Cousin, please help me look after the shop first. I will give you five taels of silver a month."

"Hiss~"

The four brothers gasped, and then Lin Feng said, "No, Ali, this is too much."

"Yeah, if grandpa and mom knew we took so much money from you, we would be beaten!"

Chen Li chuckled, "Don't rush to refuse, just listen to what I have to say."

Several people fell silent, looking at her eagerly.

"Business has been good recently, and it's almost the end of the year. I'm worried someone might cause trouble, so I need you to be extra careful."

After hearing Chen Li's serious tone, several people also became serious.

"Okay, we got it."

Shen Yuanzhou outside felt itchy after hearing this. He still had some private money on him, but not much.

I wonder how much silver my younger sister gave me?

We soon arrived at Liuli Street. Before we reached the store, we saw a group of people walking around outside Banrixian from a distance.

Chen Li raised her eyebrows. Is this going to make people jealous?
