But this time, for some reason, the myna bird suddenly asked the second brother to pay first.
Upon hearing this, the second brother's face darkened, and his narrow eyes stared at the eighth brother as if they were filled with poison.
"Eighth Brother, do you not trust your brother?" His voice was slightly deep, carrying an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Don't let his refined appearance fool you; he's actually ruthless.
But Lao Ba is no pushover either. He's managed to stay in Chongqing for so many years unscathed; there's no way he could have done that without some real skill.
So he smiled sheepishly and said, "Second brother, what are you saying? It's just that I'm a little short on money since I just arrived in Yicheng."
The second brother sneered inwardly, "Why didn't you say you were short of money when I talked to you before?"
Now, he must have listened to that brat surnamed Xu and become suspicious of me!
That guy surnamed Xu is no good; he's causing trouble for me at this crucial moment!
Seeing that the eighth brother was staring at him without blinking, the second brother wouldn't show his anger no matter how angry he was.
So he laughed and said, "I see. Okay, I'll give you the money later. Now?"
The eighth brother still had a simple smile on his face, "Of course I'll listen to my second brother."
Both of them had smiles on their faces, but who knows what they were really thinking?
...
When Liu Shile returned to the guesthouse, she found that her second brother was still waiting for her, which warmed her heart.
"Second brother, didn't I tell you to go to bed early? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
She pretended to glare at her second brother, but her voice was very soft and carried a hint of concern.
Seeing her younger sister return safely, Liu Shihua breathed a sigh of relief.
He simply said, "How can I sleep if I don't see you come back safe and sound?"
"Lele, you must be tired after running around all day. Get some rest when you get back."
Liu Shile nodded with a smile, went into her room, and closed the door.
Then, she heard the door next door close.
She couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head. Her second brother was such a worrywart.
Although her physical constitution is relatively weak, so far, no one has appeared who can make her suffer.
After working on the farm for a while and cultivating her mental strength, Liu Shile finally fell into a deep sleep.
She doesn't like sleeping outside because there are too many mosquitoes and she doesn't want to be covered in bites.
The next day, Liu Shile was woken up early by her alarm clock, and when she stretched, she felt something was wrong.
She had a good night's sleep and should have been full of energy, but she felt aches and pains in her back.
Damn, could it be because I did too much work yesterday, used too much effort, and that's why I turned out like this?
It seems she was being a bit too optimistic about her health.
Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have happened today. It seems she'll have to be more careful in the future.
Her current body is not the same as the enhanced physique she had in the apocalypse, so she can't act on impulse.
Even though she practiced kung fu for a month or so after returning, her congenital deficiencies were still there. Before she recovered, she might not be able to do whatever she wanted anymore.
Well, it seems I'll have to buy some medicine today and brew it up.
Yesterday I was so focused on all the food that I didn't even think about buying medicine.
Since there's not much to do anyway, I might as well go buy some medicine.
As Liu Shile pondered this, she stretched her body, then quickly washed up and went out.
We were supposed to go to Uncle Du's house to get some delicious food, and just thinking about it made Liu Shile's mouth water.
When she arrived at the Du family's house, the door was opened as soon as she knocked.
Then Liu Shile saw a handsome boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a scholarly air about him.
His eyes were very bright, and when he saw her, he gave her a warm smile.
"Are you Lele's little sister? I'm Du Sizhe. Please come in. My dad was just talking about you."
"Oh, Brother Du, thank you so much, Uncle Du. We've really gone to a lot of trouble this time. Thank you so much!"
Liu Shile greeted them politely and apologized.
In this day and age, isn't hiring someone to do freelance work just a nuisance?
"No trouble at all, no need to thank me." Du Sizhe smiled and shook his head.
Thinking about the ingredients he saw yesterday, how could he possibly blame her?
If he weren't worried about his dad getting too tired, he would have liked to come more often.
After all, their family hadn't seen such high-quality ingredients in a long time.
Even Grandma, who felt sorry for Dad, was speechless for a long time when she saw the ingredients.
Finally, he reminded his father to cook it well and not to waste the good ingredients.
Liu Shile has a very keen sense of smell; she could actually smell the faint fragrance of bitter herbs even from outside.
She was actually quite curious about how Uncle Du managed to do it. Normally, the aroma of food should travel a long distance unless it is sealed off.
Then, when she arrived at the Du family's kitchen, she discovered that there was another secret behind it.
She was right; Uncle Du was definitely not a simple man in the past, otherwise he wouldn't be the head chef of the state-run restaurant now.
Haven't you seen how many people are now being sent to work on farms?
Upon seeing her, Du Yunfan couldn't stop smiling.
"Lele, you've finally arrived. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have been able to guarantee that you could have kept all these things."
He was obviously exaggerating a bit, but thinking about how greedy his naughty kids were, he was genuinely worried.
He is a man of principle. He will not hesitate to take what is rightfully his, but he will not take what is not rightfully his.
Even though his two younger children watched him with tears in their eyes, he only let them taste a small piece; there was no more.
Liu Shile blinked. When she came in, she heard that the Du family had several children.
Right now, they are being held captive in the house, sobbing. They are saddened by the aroma of the food but the inability to eat it.
Uh, so this is all her fault? What a sin!
Thinking about it this way, she actually felt a little embarrassed.
"Uncle Du, if your brothers want some, just let them have some. It's not a big deal."
As she spoke, she glanced at the pots and pans in the kitchen and, without saying a word, filled a bowl with each of the dishes.
She had already discovered that Uncle Du had set aside his share of the reward and hadn't taken much.
It seems that Uncle Du and his family are quite reliable.
If she has the chance again, she decides to come back to Uncle Du, since it's not easy to find someone who is both a good cook and reliable.
Moreover, Uncle Du carefully packed all the vegetables in earthenware jars and placed them in a pair of large baskets.
This was clearly a preparation made so that she could easily take it with her.
She was happy to reciprocate when others were considerate of her.
So she rummaged through her crossbody bag and pulled out some dried fruit.
These were all dried fruit that she couldn't finish eating when the farm's processing workshop was still there.
He then smiled and said, "Uncle Du, you are so kind of you, you have thought of everything for me so thoroughly."
I came in a hurry, so this is all the food I have for my younger siblings as a little snack.
The Du father and son's eyes widened immediately upon seeing the dried fruit.
