Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Again
Yu Li rested at home for a few days.
In fact, she felt that she didn't need to rest, but Zhou and Fu Wenxiao both felt that she should have a good rest and wanted her to rest for ten days or half a month.
Zhou even said, "Li Niang, if you are really tired, you might as well not go to work in the county town."
Although the job of slaughtering pigs makes money quickly - the wages are paid on a daily basis and the money is high - at most you can get three or four hundred coins a day, and ten taels a month. This is the monthly salary that only the head manager of a big restaurant or gold shop in the capital city can get, which shows how powerful the job is.
But this job is too tiring. I have to get up in the middle of the night and don’t even have enough time to sleep.
If people don’t get enough rest, how can their health be good?
Of course Yu Li refused. Killing pigs was a great job. The money came quickly and in large amounts, and he could eat meat every day.
People who are not in this business don't know how profitable it is. Although the butcher shop has to pay tribute to the superiors, Zhang Fu takes care of all this, so she doesn't have to worry about it. She just needs to collect her wages every day and take the meat home.
She really couldn't bear to give up such a well-paid job.
The most important thing is that she really doesn't feel tired.
Those pigs were so obedient that they just sat there motionless until she slaughtered them without any effort on her part.
If the butcher shop had a limited number of pigs to slaughter, she felt she wouldn't feel tired even if she slaughtered hundreds of pigs a day.
Apart from that, Zhang Fu and the others had good personalities and were easy to get along with. The people in the butcher shop took good care of her, occasionally giving her meat as a gift, and they were very prompt in paying her.
This kind of job, whether in terms of salary or working environment, is simply the dream job for ordinary people.
Yu Li doesn't have much ambition. He just wants to have enough food and drink and eat meat every day.
She thinks this job is really good.
Seeing that she refused, Zhou suggested, "How about changing your livelihood?"
It would be fine to find a job that doesn't require her to get up late at night, as long as she doesn't have to work so hard and not get enough sleep.
Yu Li said: "No other job is as good as this one."
When she was in the county town, she wandered around for a long time but couldn't find a job she wanted. Either the salary was low or she was exploited.
In comparison, slaughtering pigs is a really good job.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Zhou could only sigh.
She then told Fu Wenxiao about this, wanting him to go and persuade her so that she wouldn't get too tired.
Yu Li is still young and life is so long. Zhou hopes that she will be well in the future and not ruin her health by relying on her youth.
Fu Wenxiao laughed and said, "Mom, Li Niang is not a child. She knows what she is doing."
Just like eating, when others see her eating so much, they always worry that she will upset her stomach, but she knows her appetite and knows how much she should eat, and she doesn't need others to persuade her.
Moreover, she is not the kind of person who would ignore her physical condition. If she wants to do it, she thinks she can do it.
After hearing what he said, Zhou knew that there was no need to persuade him anymore.
She sighed, "Forget it. I'll make her some nourishing soups. She can't stop taking the medicine. Let her get herself well first."
Upon hearing this, Fu Wenxiao felt that Yu Li might not be very happy because she really didn't want to take any tonic.
Sure enough, when Yu Li saw the medicinal food that Zhou brought out, her expression was strange.
"Mom, what is this? It tastes weird."
It clearly looks like soup and there is meat in it, but it smells so weird and not as fragrant as the other dishes.
Zhou said gently, "This is a medicinal meal, it's good for your health. It just so happens that Boss Tu sent some herbs over, which are suitable for making medicinal meals. It's very nourishing, you and Xiao Ge'er can have some."
She hadn't made medicinal food for a long time, mainly because when Yu Li came into the family, there was not much money left in the family.
But now she has six taels of silver from selling the table screen. Yu Li also usually brings money home, and the medicinal materials are ready, so she starts to make medicinal food again to nourish the two people in the family who need nourishment.
Yu Li looked at her as if he understood but not quite. He always felt that this "dish" with the word "medicine" added to it was a bit scary.
She took a careful sip and her face scrunched up.
How should I put it? It doesn’t taste as strange as tonic, but it’s not as delicious as I imagined. It’s even a little fishy, which may be due to some of the ingredients in it.
If it were in the past, Yu Li would not be picky. The nutritional supplements and compressed dry food of the apocalypse tasted almost the same as the medicine in this world, all weird.
However, after coming to this world and eating so many delicious foods, I can no longer accept the strange taste of nutritional supplements.
Her taste had become picky due to Zhou's treatment, so she could not appreciate the taste of this medicinal food.
As Zhou was staring at him, Yu Li had no choice but to eat the bowl of medicinal food.
After eating, she hurried back to her room and found that Fu Wenxiao was also eating the medicinal food with a slightly subtle expression on his face.
Seeing that he looked calm and relaxed, as if he was drinking a cup of tea, Yu Li couldn't help but ask, "Xiao brother, how does it taste?"
"Not bad." Fu Wenxiao said.
Yu Li: "Don't you think it tastes a bit strange?"
Fu Wenxiao laughed, "It's rare to make delicious medicinal food. Mom's is pretty good. She learned how to make medicinal food before." Thinking of something, he said, "I remember there was a chef before... He made very good medicinal food. Some of it even tasted delicious. You couldn't taste the medicinal food."
Such medicinal food is naturally very popular.
Unfortunately, that person is willful and ignores everyone. He does what he wants to do and hides away when he doesn't want to do it.
Yu Li looked at him with burning eyes and asked curiously, "Who is it? Which chef is so good?"
She never looked down on the people in this world and thought those chefs were really amazing for being able to make simple food so delicious.
Just like the chefs in some big restaurants in the county, Chef Bao from Fulai Restaurant, the braised food he makes is very delicious, and now it has become the signature dish of Fulai Restaurant. She has bought it several times.
The pig head braised by Chef Bao is also very delicious.
Fu Wenxiao's smile faded slightly. "I heard he was from the capital."
Yu Li was a little disappointed when he heard this.
The chefs in the capital are too far away, and she can't eat them for the time being.
She has no ambition, the only thing she is obsessed with is her appetite.
After all, after being trapped in the apocalypse for more than 20 years, he needed a lot of food to replenish the energy needed for the awakening period after coming to this world. He was not full every day and gradually began to attach great importance to food.
Fu Wenxiao saw the disappointment on her face and was about to say something but stopped.
He smiled self-deprecatingly. He was a dying man and could not make any promises to others. So why should he say anything more and make her happy for nothing?
Yu Li was originally disappointed, but suddenly saw his smile change, and looked at him with some confusion.
He looked as if he was in great pain.
So she asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" As she spoke, she reached out to him, grabbed one of his wrists, and transferred some supernatural powers into him.
Fu Wenxiao was stunned by her sudden action. He felt that the skin touched by her hand seemed to be hot, and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
But he was no match for her in strength. Not only did he fail to avoid her, but she held him even tighter.
"Don't move." Yu Li said.
Fu Wenxiao stopped moving, his ears turned red, and he even looked a little helpless.
He glanced at her quickly and saw that she looked very serious and calm, as if she was not holding his hand, but...
After a while, Yu Li let him go, feeling hungry again and a little tired.
Every time after using my superpowers, I will feel tired and hungry. It is best to eat something, otherwise I will be very hungry.
Yu Li reached out and picked up the candied fruit on the table and started eating it. After eating a few, he still felt very hungry, so he went out and asked Zhou for food.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
"Whatever Li Niang wants to eat, I'll make it right away."
"Let's have a bowl of chicken noodle soup first..."
The voices of Yu Li and Zhou talking could be heard faintly outside the house. Fu Wenxiao sat there and gently touched the wrist that she had just grabbed.
It wasn't his illusion. When she let go, his body didn't feel as uncomfortable anymore.
Whether it was the constant pain that plagued him or the chill that seemed to seep into his bones, they had all weakened a lot, and his body felt a rare sense of relaxation.
He sat there in a daze, forgetting how to move.
Thinking back to the morning when Yu Li woke up from his coma, he woke up very early, even earlier than Yu Li, and his body seemed to be the same at that time.
His heart started beating uncontrollably.
-
In the evening, after Yu Li washed up and prepared to go to bed, he saw Fu Wenxiao sitting by the window.
The window was open, and the autumn breeze blew into the room after dark, blowing his hair.
"Xiao brother, don't you want to sleep?" Yu Li said, "Also, don't sit there in the wind, you will get sick."
Fu Wenxiao got up slowly and went to bed with her to rest.
During this time, he couldn't help but keep looking at her.
Yu Li asked: "What are you looking at me for? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
He shook his head. He had gotten used to the discomfort in his body. Three years would make people get used to it and adapt to it.
"Leave my mother..."
Fu Wenxiao called out softly, but when she looked at him in confusion, he closed his mouth again.
In the end, he didn't ask anything.
Why ask?
She never concealed her abnormality in front of him, not because she trusted herself, but because she was sure that if he did anything that was not good for her, she could decide his life or death.
She has absolute confidence in her own abilities.
No matter what conspiracy or trick it is, it will be vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.
Fu Wenxiao understood this very well.
He never thought of using the same methods he used in the past to deal with her. Even though he knew that she had a strange background and secrets, he was unwilling to explore them.
This girl who suddenly appeared in his life was an accident.
After confirming her character and that she was a trustworthy person, he once thought about entrusting the two children, Zhou and Fu Yanhui, to her and arranging their second half of life, so that he could leave with peace of mind.
Fu Wenxiao smiled at her gently and said softly, "Li Niang, it's late, go to sleep."
Yu Li said "oh" and looked at him again, thinking he was weird.
Did he find that his body suddenly felt better, so he became suspicious? If he asked, she could answer. Whether he believed it or not was up to him.
The two of them stayed in the same room and slept in the same bed. From the very beginning, she had never concealed her abnormality in front of him. As long as he was not a fool, it would be normal for him to find out everything.
Given Fu Wenxiao's personality, if he knew that she had saved him, he would definitely be grateful to her.
She is still waiting for him to repay her kindness.
After blowing out the oil lamp, they lay down to sleep.
Yu Li lay there, using his supernatural powers to repair his body.
After dinner, she drank another bowl of tonic, and her body's supernatural powers recovered quickly, which was just enough to repair her body.
While he was busy, Fu Wenxiao's voice was heard in the darkness.
"Li Niang, don't do anything unusual in front of other people in the future."
Yu Li said "oh" and didn't ask him what "abnormal things" were. He said, "Including mother?"
The "mother" she was referring to was Zhou, not Liu from the Yu family.
Fu Wenxiao understood strangely and said with certainty: "Including her, try to keep it a secret."
Yu Li: "But I eat so much every day, my mother has already noticed it."
Normal people don’t have such a big appetite as her.
It would be great if there were special potions in this world that could fully replenish the energy needed after the superpowers were consumed, so there would be no need to eat so much, which is actually quite a waste of food.
"She thought you were strong, so it was normal for you to eat more." Fu Wenxiao's voice was more smiling, "Mother wouldn't think too much."
Zhou has a gentle personality. Even though she has experienced many things, she rarely thinks the worst of others.
She likes Yu Li. In her eyes, Yu Li is perfect in every way. Even if she eats a lot and has an abnormally large appetite, he will find excuses for her.
I will never treat her as an alien.
As for Fu Yanhui and his sister, they are young and all their knowledge comes from adults.
The adults in the family are accustomed to Yu Li's appetite, so the brother and sister will regard it as a normal thing. Even if they find something abnormal in the future, their feelings for Yu Li will be so deep that they don't want to hurt her, so they naturally won't investigate it or tell anyone about it.
Yu Li agreed. At this time, his supernatural power had been almost exhausted and he was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes.
She said dazedly: "Xiao brother, you are such a good person..."
He actually reminded her. Wasn't he afraid that he would suddenly point this out and make her want to kill him?
Fu Wenxiao chuckled.
Of all the people who knew him, except for the naive children, she was the only one who would say that he was a good person.
In her heart, was he really that good? So good that she was willing to expose her true colors in front of him, and even wanted to make him feel better...
Fu Wenxiao sighed softly in his heart.
She is the variable in his life and also the surprise given to him by fate. Whether she is alive or dead in the future, he will never forget such a special person.
**
In the morning, after having breakfast and drinking a bowl of terrible tonic with tears in his eyes, Yu Li went out.
Zhou reminded: "If you feel uncomfortable, come back quickly, or have someone take you back."
Yu Li waved at her, "Don't worry, mother. I'm not feeling unwell."
Unfortunately, Zhou didn't believe her and watched her leave with a worried look on her face.
Yu Li wants to go to Yu’s house to see Yu Zhu.
In fact, what the doctors said was right. Yuzhu's condition was too critical at the time, and it was unknown whether she could wake up.
In Yu Li's perception, the injury on the back of Yu Zhu's head was too severe, and her life was gradually weakening. If nothing unexpected happened, she would die in her coma after a few days of coma.
Although Yu Li gave her life force energy to wake her up, her energy was too weak and she could only wake Yu Zhu up but could not cure her all at once.
So these days, Yuzhu is still lying in bed.
In the end, she still has to rely on herself to recover slowly until she recovers.
When Yu Li arrived at the second room of the Yu family, Yu Zhu was taking medicine.
The three sisters were at home and were very happy to see her.
"Sister, why are you here? Are you feeling better?" Yu Jin asked with concern, looking her up and down with his eyes.
Yu Yin quickly pulled her to sit down and poured her some water.
Yu Zhu, who was sitting on the bed, looked at her eagerly and reached out to pull her clothes, "Big sister..."
Yu Li touched the heads of his three sisters one by one and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
The three sisters looked at her carefully and found that her complexion was indeed much better.
I don’t know if it was their illusion, but the eldest sister’s skin seemed to have become whiter and her skinny cheeks became plumper. Although she still looked thin, she had gotten rid of her previous refugee-like image.
"Sister, you seem to have gained some weight." Yu Yin said hesitantly.
Such an elder sister is really beautiful.
Who said their eldest sister was ugly? Obviously, the eldest sister was very beautiful, like a flower, budding and about to bloom.
Yu Li pinched her cheek and said, "I've been eating three meals a day recently, and I've also been taking tonics and medicinal food, and I've made up for it."
Then she told them that she was taking care of her body and taking medicine every morning and evening.
In short, she felt extremely painful when drinking the tonic, because it made her superpowers recover quickly, so she used her superpowers to repair her body.
The three sisters looked at her with sparkling eyes, all very happy.
"Then you must take good care of yourself," Yu Jin said hurriedly, "so that you won't faint again."
The remaining two sisters also nodded.
Yu Li's face twitched. The tonic tasted really bad.
She looked at the medicine bowl in Yu Jin's hand, which was still half filled with black medicine, and asked, "How is my little sister? Has the doctor come to see her?"
"I came to see her yesterday." Yu Jin said happily, "The doctor said that my little sister will be fine if she wakes up, but she has suffered a lot this time, so she needs to be taken good care of and take more medicine to nourish herself."
Yu Li felt more sympathetic.
It seems that doctors in this world always give their patients tonic medicine to replenish their bodies, no matter what.
This seems to be correct. If you are sick, you can treat the disease; if you are healthy, you can nourish your body.
Yuzhu drank the remaining half bowl of medicine without complaining about the bitterness. After finishing the medicine, she held the candy given by her sister in her mouth and looked very happy.
Yu Li asked, "Little sister, isn't this medicine hard to drink?"
"It tastes terrible," Yuzhu said, "but taking the medicine will make me better faster, so I don't have to spend money on medicine or doctor's visits. The medicine is very expensive."
Her face was full of distress, and her sisters asked the doctor to prescribe some medicine for her, telling her to drink more and get her health back.
She couldn't let her sisters down, nor could she waste money.
Yu Li patted her head and said, "Good girl."
The sisters sat and talked for a while, talking about how Yu Qin from the big house next door sent them ten taels of silver two days ago.
"Grandpa asked her to send it over." Yu Jin said with a bad look on his face.
Old Lady Yu almost caused Yu Zhu to lose her life, but because she was the elder, they couldn't do anything to her even if they were angry.
If Yu Li hadn't gone there, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the ten taels of silver.
The ten taels of silver were also meant to ensure that Yu Li would not go there to cause trouble for them, so it was considered a big loss.
Yu Li said: "Keep it."
"But I'm still angry." Yu Jin whispered.
Yu Li touched her head and said, "Then you should work hard to make yourself stronger so that others will never dare to bully you again."
Yu Jin was thoughtful.
Yu Yin and Yu Zhu looked at their two sisters and didn't quite understand how to make themselves stronger.
They are not as strong as their elder sister and cannot resist those who bully them. How can they become strong?
-
After confirming that Yuzhu was recovering well, Yu Li did not stay long.
Mainly because her sisters were worried about her health and didn’t want her to be too tired, they all wanted her to go back and rest and not hang around outside.
"Sister, you can go back now. Don't worry." Yu Jin said to her, "When my sister recovers, I will go to the county town to find a job to make money."
This time Yuzhu hit her head and it cost her a lot of money.
Even though he had the ten taels of silver that Yuqin had sent him, he was only spending money and would end up spending it sooner or later.
Yu Li was a little surprised, "What kind of livelihood are you going to find?"
"Actually, I have an idea in my mind, but I have to go to the county town first." Yu Jin was a little embarrassed, "I haven't been to the county town yet."
Yu Li nodded, "Okay, if you want to go to the county town, tell me and I'll take you there."
Yu Jin agreed.
After leaving the second branch of the Yu family, Yu Li passed by the main gate of the Yu family.
The courtyard gate was open. Yuqin and Wang were drying clothes in the yard. Old lady Yu was standing in front of the kitchen, cursing, but no one knew who she was cursing.
As she passed by, the three of them looked over at the same time.
Old Mrs. Yu was startled and rushed into the kitchen in an instant.
