Liu Xiaosi took many turns and arrived in front of a courtyard. There were two young men sitting under the gate, eating melon seeds and chatting. When they saw Liu Xiaosi coming back, one of them stretched out his legs, hugged Liu Xiaosi, and looked at him with a playful smile.
"Liu Xiaosi, what have you been doing out here? Did you bring back anything good? My brother is having bad luck today and has lost all the money he had. Can you lend me some money?"
"Liu Xiaosi, if you lend him money, you have to lend me money. I've lost everything too."
The other one also said with a smile, his eyes fixed on Liu Xiaosi's waist and sleeves.
Liu Xiaosi was annoyed for a moment and said, "I'm out doing some work, but it's not a lucrative job. I still have to pay for it, and I'm short of money! If you're jealous, I'll go talk to the master and let you take my place!"
"No! Just go do your thing. It's more important to reply to the boss!"
"Also, go see your eldest brother. He sounds like he's coughing so badly. Don't tell me he has tubal mucus, it's hereditary. Be careful. If you start coughing, the boss will throw you out."
When the two heard that Liu Xiaosi wanted them to do a job that had no benefits but required money, they were unwilling to do so. They quickly let Liu Xiaosi in and said a few caring words to him.
Liu Xiaosi went in hurriedly. He was too lazy to talk to these people. If it weren't for the fact that the elder brother who saved him was from here, and the boss here asked him to stay in exchange for repaying his kindness, he really didn't want to stay. Now that he met Shen Zian and Su Zhi, and they were willing to give him a job, he would not refuse it for the sake of saving face. He didn't want to live like this anymore!
He first replied to the boss and told him what he knew, especially explaining the relationship between Shen Zian, Su Zhi and the Ye family. He said that Shen Zian and Su Zhi were the great benefactors of the Ye family, and the Ye family would not allow anyone to mess with them, and then all of them might be implicated!
The eldest brother was also shocked when he heard this, thinking that this person really has a powerful backer. The Ye family is the prime minister's residence and they cannot be provoked.
"Boss, please find out who the couple are from. Are they as powerful as the Ye family? Boss, you are the smartest and you can definitely tell who is better. We can't offend the Ye family for the sake of someone who can't afford to offend the Ye family! Boss, you are our backbone. This is our home and we can't destroy it!"
Liu Xiaosi said flattering words while secretly asking the boss to find out about the backgrounds of Shen Zian and Su Zhi.
"Do you need to tell me this? I know better than you!" The eldest brother said, and then he said, "How can I offend Lord Ye for such a cowardly person who doesn't even show his face? It doesn't matter if his official rank is higher than Lord Ye's, unless he is the emperor or gives me a mountain of gold and silver."
The eldest brother said that it was impossible to become the emperor, and it was also impossible to have mountains of gold and silver. However, as long as he was given a few hundred taels of silver, he would dare to risk his life. Fortune and wealth can only be achieved through risk!
When Liu Xiaosi heard what the boss said, he thought that the boss didn't know what kind of person it was to inquire about Mr. Shen and Madam Shen. That person was really cautious and didn't even show his face. This behavior didn't sound like an ordinary family. It seemed that he didn't want people to know who he was. The more Liu Xiaosi thought about it, the more he had to find out clearly for Madam Shen which family that person was from. The boss must have a reply to that person. He would keep an eye on him these few days and find a chance to see that person's face clearly.
Liu Xiaosi returned to his room and heard a cough as soon as he entered. He quickly walked to a bed and saw that there was no water in the bowl on the table. He quickly poured a bowl and handed it to the man who was already sitting up on the bed.
"Brother, drink some water. I'll make you some medicine later."
"Thanks a lot."
The man on the bed drank the water, felt better, and stopped coughing.
Liu Xiaosi said, "Why thank you? If it wasn't for you saving me, I would have died. Now that you are sick, I have to take care of you even if it's just to repay you. Don't worry, I have enough money to buy medicine! You will get better soon."
"I know my illness, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to recover. I must have done too many bad things, and this is retribution. Xiao Si, you're a good kid, so go if you can."
The man coughed twice again and spoke with a sigh.
Liu Xiaosi said, "What retribution? Don't talk nonsense, big brother. Even if you have retribution, it's all wiped out by saving me. Don't think too much about it."
"Xiao Si, there really is retribution in this world. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. Let me tell you, I once harmed a girl, and she was forced to jump into the river. Before she jumped, she said that I would not die a good death. Now I really will not die a good death. Alas, if it were possible, I really would like to pay her back before I die, but it's impossible. After I die, let her beat and scold me."
After hearing these words, Liu Xiaosi remained silent. He naturally believed that there was retribution in this world. The fact that he met the Shen couple was an opportunity given to him by God.
This chapter is not about water, absolutely not. The girl who is diving, girl, do you know who it is? I have revealed the spoilers.
