Chapter 151 Chapter 151 Fight Out
The Fu family felt relieved after knowing that the blood on Yu Li's clothes was not hers.
However, when I saw that her face was pale and her brows were tired, I thought that she had been exhausted from the long journey and had not had enough rest, and I still felt very distressed.
Zhou said, "Li Niang, are you hungry? Go wash up first and change your clothes. I'll make you something to eat." Seeing the blood stains on her body, she felt scared.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Yu Li agreed obediently and said, "Mom, I'm hungry. I'm so hungry."
Zhou felt very distressed when she heard this and hurried to the kitchen to cook.
After Yu left to wash up in the bathroom, Fu Wenxiao also returned to his room, took a set of clean clothes, and brought them to the bathroom.
Just now, Zhou urged her to go to the bathroom to wash up, but she was in such a hurry that she didn't take any clothes with her.
There was a sound of splashing water in the bathroom.
Fu Wenxiao said through the screen: "Mother Li, I brought the clothes here and put them on the stool."
"knew."
Yu Li's voice floated out from the other side of the screen.
By the time Yu Li finished washing up, dinner was ready.
Dinner not only included food made by Zhou, but also snacks made by Fu Wenxiao, which made Yu Li very happy.
After being away from home for a month, she really missed the meals at home and the snacks made by Fu Wenxiao.
Ever since tasting the snacks made by Fu Wenxiao, Yu Li had been thinking about them, and sometimes he always wondered what kind of snacks he would make next.
There are so many kinds of dim sum, and no matter what he makes, she thinks it tastes delicious.
Maybe because Fu Wenxiao is a very particular person, he is also very particular when making dim sum. He must make the appearance like a work of art without affecting its taste and texture at all.
In short, Yu Li felt that the snacks made by Fu Wenxiao were very much to his liking, and he always felt reluctant to leave after eating them.
Unfortunately, he never cooked much, so the portions were always too small for her and could not satisfy her gluttonous appetite.
After Yu Li finished eating the food on the table and confirmed that she was full, Zhou said, "Mother Li, you have worked hard. Go and rest later. Don't get tired."
Although Li's mother was very sad, she still felt heartbroken after seeing her running around for a month.
Although Zhou didn't ask Yu what he was going to do, she had some idea in her mind.
Yu Li responded obediently.
When the time was almost up, she and Fu Wenxiao went back to their room to rest.
Yu Li was indeed very sleepy. He yawned, changed into his pajamas and prepared to go to bed.
When she was about to lie down, Fu Wenxiao pulled her back, and she turned to look at him with some confusion.
Fu Wenxiao pulled her into his arms, resting his chin gently on her shoulder, and whispered, "Mother Li, you saved the pregnant woman today, didn't you?"
Otherwise, her face wouldn't be so pale. She must have overdrawn her supernatural powers.
In the past, when she treated him, although he was hungry and tired, his complexion looked good, which showed that she was holding back.
Today she met the pregnant woman who had fallen, and from the blood stains on her clothes, she knew that the woman must have been in a very bad condition at the time. As a result, she not only gave birth naturally, but the child was also fine, so she knew that she had secretly saved the mother and daughter and overdrawn her supernatural powers.
Just like the time when Yuzhu broke her head, she overdrew her supernatural powers to save her, but she ended up being in a coma for three days before waking up.
Yu Li lazily leaned in his arms and said softly: "Her condition is not good. If I don't save her, there will be two lives lost."
If it can be saved, then we must save it.
Fu Wenxiao stroked her hair gently, hugged her silently for a while, and looked down at her face.
Even in the dim light, one could still tell that her complexion was not as rosy and healthy as before, and her eyes and brows were filled with fatigue. It was obvious that if she were to put all her strength into saving people, it would have a great impact on her body.
But she still decided to save him.
Fu Wenxiao sighed in his heart, but couldn't say anything to dissuade him.
He knew very early on that she valued human life and had kindness towards the world. She was a very good girl.
Since he couldn't dissuade her from helping those in distress, he could only try his best to cooperate with her and lighten her burden.
Seeing that she was really sleepy, Fu Wenxiao said nothing more and let her go to sleep.
When Yu Li lay down on the bed, she found that he came over to her again and held her in his arms.
He smelled very nice, a light plum scent. Yu Li felt that this plum scent was even better than the plum-scented ointment he bought in the provincial capital. It was not pungent at all and even had a soothing effect.
Because the smell had a soothing effect on the nerves, Yu Li did not refuse his hug, leaned in his arms, and soon fell asleep.
Fu Wenxiao, on the other hand, couldn't sleep.
He gently touched her pale face, lifted the hair that was pressed against her cheek, gathered it up and put it on the pillow, then blushed and straightened her slightly open collar.
After doing this, he held her hand.
This hand is very slender, with the delicate and exquisite delicacy unique to women, like a finely carved jade, and it is warm when held in the hand. Her palm is very soft, and each finger bone looks delicate and white, making it hard to imagine how terrifying its strength is.
Fu Wenxiao held her hand gently. His palm was much wider than hers and could easily wrap around her hand.
He squeezed his fingers between hers, interlocking their fingers, making them inseparable.
After doing all this, he had a faint smile on his face, then leaned closer to her, and finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.
-
The next day, Yu Li slept until dawn.
When she woke up, she still looked sleepy, as if she had not gotten enough sleep, but she was so hungry that even Fu Wenxiao could hear her stomach growling.
She was a little embarrassed, holding her stomach and said, "I'm hungry."
There was nothing she could do with her stomach growling like this.
Fu Wenxiao woke up earlier than her. When he saw her still sleeping, he knew that she had not recovered yet.
He combed her hair and said, "Mother made your favorite meat buns today..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw her running out in a hurry. He couldn't help laughing. He straightened his clothes and followed her out.
Zhou was doing embroidery in the hall with her two children. When she saw Yu Li wake up, she got up and brought her breakfast. She found that her face still did not look very good, and she couldn't help feeling worried.
"Mother Li, are you sick?"
In the past, after Yu Li came back, he would be in good spirits after waking up from a good sleep. But this time, his face was still a little pale, he looked sleepy, and he looked listless.
While stuffing buns into his mouth, Yu Li said, "Mom, I'm not sick, I'm just tired this time."
Zhou still frowned, not quite believing it.
But seeing that she had a good appetite and had finished a basket of buns, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you should rest well at home these few days. If you really feel unwell, you must go to the doctor, understand?"
Yu Li nodded obediently, thinking to herself that she absolutely should not see a doctor, otherwise she would have to drink that horrible medicine again.
Zhou turned around and told Fu Wenxiao worriedly, "Xiao'er, you should be more careful. If Li Niang feels unwell, go get a doctor."
Fu Wenxiao naturally agreed, and when she saw Yu Li looking at her, she smiled at her.
After breakfast, everyone sat together and talked for a while. Seeing that Yu Li looked very sleepy, Zhou asked her to go back to her room to rest.
Fu Wenxiao naturally went back to his room to accompany her.
The two of them sat by the window and talked. They could see the bright sunshine in the yard and the azalea flowers blooming beautifully in the corner.
The weather in early April was very good, neither too cold nor too hot, and Yu Li looked a little lazy.
At this time, Fu Wenxiao reached out and touched her forehead.
"I'm not sick." Yu Li raised his eyes to look at him, "You also know my situation, don't let me see a doctor, I will be fine in a few days."
Fu Wenxiao hummed and sighed, "I haven't seen you like this for a long time. I'm a little worried."
Although I know she is fine and will recover with a good rest, I still can't help but worry about her.
Yu Li glanced at him and then said "oh".
She was not good at rejecting other people's kindness. She could sense his worry but didn't know what to say.
After sitting for a while, her eyes gradually closed, her body leaned to the side, and soon she fell asleep on his shoulder.
Fu Wenxiao reached out and held her in his arms, then covered her with a thin blanket.
He lowered his head to gaze at her sleeping face, then picked up a book beside him, held the person in his arms, and read slowly.
**
Yu Jin delivered the grain purchased from the village to the shop in Jucai Lane, and learned from Sun Zheng that her sister had returned.
"My elder sister is back?" she asked happily. "When did she come back? How did you know she was back?"
Sun Zhengdao: "I heard it from the customers who came to buy rice balls."
Then he told her that Yu Li sent a pregnant woman to the clinic yesterday evening.
Many people in the county town knew Yu Li, not only because she was the wife of a scholar, but also because she was beautiful. Everyone who had seen her was impressed by her.
Moreover, when she worked at Zhang's Meat Shop, she often delivered goods to people. Over time, more and more people in the county town came to know her.
When she carried the pregnant woman who fell to the clinic yesterday, someone recognized her.
Today, the man came here to buy rice balls and mentioned this matter to Sun Zheng.
Sun Zheng knew that his cousin would occasionally leave the county town and would say that she was going to the provincial capital to visit relatives. As to whether she was really doing so, he did not inquire.
In his heart, his second uncle's cousins were very important relatives and he was very grateful to them. If it weren't for them, he, his mother and his sister would probably still be living under Sun Datian's violence, or might have been beaten to death by him.
For Sun Zheng, his current life is as beautiful as a dream.
Because he worked efficiently and carefully, and also learned to read and do some arithmetic from his eldest cousin, he was already able to work on his own. Therefore, Yu Jin handed over the shop selling miscellaneous grain rice balls in Jucai Lane to him to manage, and his mother and second aunt Liu helped him in the shop.
Liu still goes to the dock every morning to sell multi-grain rice balls, and after the morning market is over, she will come back here to help.
Sun Zheng and Aunt Yu, mother and son, work together and live and eat in the store. Not only can they have enough to eat every day, but they also get paid. Such a life is really great for them, which they had never dared to imagine before.
Maybe because they ate well, their health gradually improved, and Sun Zheng also grew much taller and stronger.
And all of this was brought to them by the Yu Li sisters.
Therefore, Sun Zheng has always cared about the affairs of the Yu Li sisters, and hopes that they will get better and better.
Hearing this, Yu Jin smiled and said, "So that's how it is." Then he smiled and said, "My sister is kind-hearted. Whenever she meets someone in trouble, she is willing to help."
Perhaps others would be afraid of getting into trouble and would hesitate whether to help when encountering problems, but Yu Li never hesitated.
So it is normal to send a pregnant woman who has fallen to the hospital.
Aunt Yu, who was helping to carry the food in, heard this and agreed, "Indeed, Li Niang is a good child."
She was also grateful to Yu Li in her heart.
In fact, she didn't want to come to the county town. For country people, fields are their lifeblood, and they don't want to give up farming. If it wasn't for her daughter saying that Yu Jin's shop was really short of staff and she didn't trust the people she hired from outside, she would have come to help, and she also wanted to do more to repay Yu Jin and the others.
And now that they have money, last year Aunt Yu took Sun Zheng to the clinic to see a doctor for his leg.
Unfortunately, they arrived too late.
The doctor said that Sun Zheng's leg could not be cured because he was hit by a stone when he was a child and he did not receive timely treatment. The doctor could only try to make him walk less lamely, but it was impossible for him to walk like a normal person.
After hearing what the doctor said, Aunt Yu felt indescribable regret in her heart.
Fortunately, although it cannot be cured, it can reduce some of Sun Zheng’s suffering.
In the past, whenever it was cloudy and rainy, Sun Zheng’s legs would hurt badly. Now, after treatment, his leg pain can at least be relieved a little.
Yu Jin felt happy when she heard them praising her sister.
After moving the grain, she said goodbye to Sun Zheng and her aunt and went to check out the shops on East Street.
When Yu Jingang arrived at East Street, he saw a man flying out of his shop and falling heavily to the ground.
No, he should have been beaten out from the inside.
Yu Jin had a feeling something was wrong and ran over quickly. Just as she got close, she saw another man being beaten out, so she quickly dodged.
The ones who beat him were Sun Fangniang and Yu Zhu.
The two girls beat the two grown men out in just a few moves. Not only were the customers in the store stunned, but even the passers-by outside were also filled with astonishment.
"Fang Niang, Zhu'er, what's wrong?" Yu Jin came over and asked.
Sun Fangniang and Yu Zhu were very happy to see Yu Jin. They hurriedly said to her, "These two guys came to our store to cause trouble and smash our things."
"Yes, and he was hurling foul language at us and frightening our guests."
Hearing this, Yu Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at the two men on the ground.
The way these two men were dressed, they looked like hooligans. However, these people usually only dared to ask for protection money from small vendors and did not dare to cause trouble in the shops on East Street.
Anyone who can open a store on East Street must have some skills and background, and they cannot afford to offend them.
Yu Jin sneered, walked over, stepped on the back of the man who was about to get up, and pushed the man back hard.
Seeing this, Yuzhu also followed her sister's example and stepped on the other man, pressing him to the ground.
They were obviously two grown men, but somehow they were stepped on to the ground by the two girls and could not get up at all, like two turtles lying there.
When the people around saw this scene, they swallowed secretly.
Just now, the two girls beat the two grown men out with a few blows, and then stepped on them so that they couldn't get up...
Are all the girls at Yu's Rouge Shop so strong? No wonder they dare to open a shop here.
Yu Jin didn't care what others thought and asked the two men why they came to make trouble.
The two naturally denied it, saying that they were not here to cause trouble, but to buy things. Then they said that the girl in the store was too fierce and beat them out without saying a word.
Yu Zhu said, "Nonsense, they are here to cause trouble, and they want us to pay tribute to them, or else they will ask their brothers to smash our store." She turned her head to look inside the store, "Many customers heard it."
The customers in the store nodded one after another, indicating that Yuzhu was right.
The faces of these two people before were really hateful, and the words they said were dirty and disgusting.
But they didn't feel proud for too long. They were actually quite happy to see Sun Fangniang and Yu Zhu beat them out.
At this time, the patrolling yamen runner came over, saw this scene, and asked what happened.
The Yu Jin sisters moved their feet away and told the bailiff that the two guys were making trouble in their store. The two men quickly got up and shouted loudly that they were not innocent and that they had falsely accused the people in the store of being violent towards them.
The bailiff first looked at the two big men with bruised faces and noses, and then looked at the Yu Jin sisters.
The scene where the two sisters stepped on their backs just now left a deep impression on the yamen runners, and for a moment they didn't know who was right.
However, anyone who can open a store on East Street must be capable, and they don't want to offend them.
Because there were customers in the store who testified, the bailiffs finally took the two men away and locked them up according to the rules.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to see here, the passers-by around dispersed.
When the Yu Jin sisters returned to the store, they saw the customers looking at them with curiosity.
Yu Jin apologized to the customers in the store and said, "Sorry for disturbing you earlier. Today, all your purchases in the store will be 50% off."
All the customers in the store were female. Although they were indeed a little frightened just now, they didn't think it was a big deal because Sun Fangniang and Yu Zhu reacted in time.
Perhaps it was because Sun Fangniang and the sisters Yu Jin and Yu Zhu were not only beautiful in appearance and slender in figure, that even if they saw them beating up the hooligans, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they were inexplicably excited.
After seeing off those excited guests, Yu Jin's face darkened.
Sun Fangniang asked, "Jin Niang, what's wrong? Are you still thinking about what happened just now?"
Yu Jin hummed, "I always feel that there is something wrong with those two people. They must have come here to cause trouble on purpose. Someone must have instructed them to do so."
There were very few hooligans causing trouble in the shops on East Street. Where did those two people get the courage to do that? They couldn't be so stupid as to not know the situation on East Street, right?
If no one instructed her to do so, she would definitely not believe it.
I just don’t know who ordered them and what their purpose is?
Sun Fangniang guessed, "Could it be that their colleagues sent them here?"
Ever since "Yu's Rouge Shop" opened, business has been very good. The goods in the shop are all shipped from the provincial capital. It mainly features the signature products of the provincial capital, and there are many styles, which attracts many customers.
Over time, most customers came to their store to buy things and rarely went to other stores.
Yu Jin took this matter very seriously. She knew that her store had indeed taken away a lot of people's business. However, in business, everyone depends on their own ability. Just because you are in the rouge and powder business, it doesn't mean that others can't do it, right?
If those people were targeting her specifically, she would definitely not give up.
Otherwise, if they treat her like a fool, wouldn't anyone be able to come to her store and cause trouble in the future? Is she still going to do business?
Before Yu Jin could go to check, Wu Shouzi and Gao Sheng came over in the evening.
"Manager Yu." Wu Shouzi asked mysteriously, "Have you offended anyone recently?"
Yu Jin was puzzled, "No."
Wu Shouzi heard this and asked again: "Does that mean... Boss Li has offended someone?"
Speaking of Yu Li, Wu Shouzi and Gao Sheng were a little hesitant. They felt that it was very likely that Boss Li had offended someone. But when they thought of Boss Li's methods, they were afraid that even if she had offended someone, the other party would not dare to retaliate, right?
So they were very puzzled as to which of the two sisters in the Yu family had offended someone.
Yu Jin understood something instantly and asked, "Do you know something?"
Since she came to the county town to do business, she gradually became familiar with Ge Yayi, Wu Shouzi and others. Of course, they were familiar with each other in private and they did not have much interaction in public.
If there was nothing to do normally, Ge Yayi, Wu Shouzi and others would not come here on purpose.
Wu Shouzi confessed: "We heard that some people came to your store to cause trouble today, and we know them."
"Do you know each other?"
"That's right." At this point, Wu Shouzi was a little embarrassed and said vaguely, "In the past, we brothers were too bad, but later we met Boss Li and decided to turn over a new leaf and be good people."
Gao Sheng continued, "When I was hanging out outside, I got to know a lot of idlers and hooligans in the city. The two who made trouble today were actually the ones who used to hang out with us..."
There are many ruffians in the county town, and they usually have nothing to do.
Gao Sheng and Wu Shouzi were very familiar with these ruffians when they were in the county town. People like them who lived in the market were the most well-informed.
Wu Shouzi whispered, "The two guys who came to your store to cause trouble today were sent over there by someone. Someone paid them and arranged for them to come over."
Yu Jin's expression was startled, and he asked, "Do you know who ordered them?"
The two shook their heads at first, then said, "We have to go find someone to ask, and we'll give you the news when we find out."
Yu Jin said: "Then I'll trouble you with this matter."
As she spoke, she took out a tael of silver and gave it to them, asking them to use it to drink.
The two dared not take it, and hurriedly pushed it back, saying with a bitter face: "If Boss Li knew that we took your money, she would definitely beat us up."
Yu Jin smiled and said, "No, I told her not to hit you."
They wanted to help them get information, but how could they do it without money? Since starting his business, Yu Jin had become more and more tactful and understood many rules and regulations.
With their help, she saved a lot of effort.
Upon hearing this, Wu Shouzi and the other man happily accepted the money and told her that they would tell her as soon as they got any news.
