Seeing Li Yongnian coming back, Leng Xiaorou hurriedly opened the door.
"Husband, have you not found the doctor?"
Li Yongnian smiled and said, "No, I met a silly boy on the way. I gave him the money and asked him to buy it for me. There is no doctor in Songjiacun, only in the town."
Leng Rushuang said: "You still call others stupid, I think you were deceived. How much did you give them?"
Hearing that Li Yongnian gave Zhang Yi five taels of silver, Liu Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh on the bed.
But thinking about how I was defrauded because I spent the money on myself, I felt a little guilty for a moment.
"Oh, it only takes two days to heal. In fact, there is no need to apply any medicine."
Li Yongnian smiled and said: "I'm quite accurate in judging people. Maybe Zhang Yi and I have a good connection. He is not the kind of unreliable person."
After speaking, Li Yongnian went directly to the kitchen. Now that Liu Yuanyuan was injured, he needed to be patched up.
After mincing the chicken and cutting some carrots, Li Yongnian put the meat and carrots into the pot, then went out to pick up some dead branches in the mulberry forest outside, and then came back to start a fire to cook.
When the smell of chicken emerged from the kitchen, Zhang Yi's voice came from outside.
"Master Li, Master Li?"
When Li Yongnian went out, he saw that Zhang Yi was still there, carrying a large bag of things.
Leng Rushuang also left the house curiously.
"Is he the one you were talking about...Zhang Yi?"
Leng Rushuang originally wanted to say that she was a silly boy, but she quickly changed her mind midway.
Li Yongnian smiled and said: "I'll just say Zhang Yi is reliable. This is medicine. You go and give it to Sister Yuanyuan. Oops, did you forget to buy a jar of medicine?"
Zhang Yi said: "I bought it, it's in the bag."
Li Yongnian said in surprise: "You also bought the medicine jar?"
Zhang Yi said: "In the past, when Wang Yuan's wife was sick, he would buy a new medicine jar every time. This time you gave me so much money, I thought I would also buy a new one, so I bought one."
Li Yongnian praised; "Well done."
Opening the bag, Li Yongnian really felt like he had found a treasure.
In addition to the grain, there are various seasonings, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and a jar of wine in the bag. In addition, there are ten bowls, ten plates, and two earthen basins.
It can be said that even if you buy it yourself, you won't be able to buy everything.
"Well done, well done."
Zhang Yi said: "You said there was nothing when you moved in, so I bought it according to the rules of Li's family. Look at what's missing, and I'll buy it again. By the way, there are still three taels of silver left. I really can't carry it anymore. , I didn’t buy anything else.”
Li Yongnian smiled and said: "You will be my butler from now on. You keep the money and I will give it to you after it is spent. By the way, I have cooked. Let's eat together."
Zhang Yi was asked to wash the dishes, and Li Yongnian brought the stewed carrots and hens to the table.
Seeing that Zhang Yi only put five sets of bowls and chopsticks, Li Yongnian said: "Add one more set. Did you count wrongly?"
Zhang Yi hurriedly added another pair to Li Yongnian's side.
Li Yongnian pushed aside.
"It's for you. Come, sit down and eat together."
Zhang Yi's eyes widened and he waved hurriedly.
"That's not okay, I can't eat with the master."
Li Yongnian said: "Don't call me master, just call me by name or young master. Sit down. As long as you work well, we can all eat together from now on."
"No, I eat a lot and eat quickly. I'd better wait until you finish eating before I eat. Besides, I will see a few ladies when I sit down to eat."
Liu Yuanyuan felt embarrassed when she heard Zhang Yi call her wife.
"Yongnian, please just sit down. I see you are an honest person. Our family doesn't taboo these things. Besides, I've seen you at Li Yuan's house."
Zhang Yi couldn't help but look up.
"Liu Yuanyuan?"
Then Zhang Yi looked at Li Yongnian.
"Then you are idiot Li?"
Li Yongnian said speechlessly: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Zhang Yi waved his hand hurriedly, and then gave his mouth a hard blow.
"No, no, no, I just heard what others said."
Li Yongnian said: "Okay, sit down. From now on, you can just treat this place as your home."
Although he sat down, Zhang Yi only dared to pick up the rice in his bowl. Seeing him like this, Li Yongnian directly served him a piece of chicken and a few pieces of carrots with a spoon.
Zhang Yi said hurriedly: "I don't eat meat, I am not qualified to eat meat."
Li Yongnian said speechlessly: "Here it is, you eat it."
Soon Li Yongnian and the five of them were full, and the five of them even left two pieces of chicken for Zhang Yi.
Hearing that the rest was his own, Zhang Yi could finally eat freely.
Only then did Li Yongnian understand why Zhang Yi went home with him after hearing that he was in charge.
It's no wonder that Zhang Yi grew to a height of nearly 1.9 meters in the village. If he didn't grow so tall, he would be really sorry for his appetite.
"Are you not full?"
Seeing Zhang Yi licking the bowl clean, Li Yongnian couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Yi said: "That's enough. I'm sixty percent full. It's okay not to eat for two days."
Li Yongnian said speechlessly: "How did you survive before? Did you rely on starvation?"
Liu Yuanyuan said: "He is a big eater. No one hires him for a long time. He has saved up too much from heavy work. He is asked to work for a few days in a row. Usually he is fed and then given a few copper coins."
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Sister Yuanyuan is right. They all think I am too good to eat. Of course our family can do the same. In fact, I will not starve to death even if I take turns working."
Li Yongnian smiled and said: "Don't worry, our family has fifty acres of land. We can afford to raise you. Just eat. But with your appetite, we must prepare more rice. I'm afraid something will happen recently." If you can’t leave, go buy more rice and come back.”
"By the way, if someone sells pigs, you can also buy one. If you have chickens, you can also buy a few. We can raise them and kill them slowly."
After speaking, Li Yongnian took out another five taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi felt the feeling of trust for the first time and was so moved that he shed tears.
"Master, you are not stupid. I will follow you from now on. As long as you don't let me go hungry, I can do anything you want."
"It's not that serious. You can go ahead. I have to look after the house."
Seeing Zhang Yi leave, Li Yongnian breathed a sigh of relief for the first time.
With Zhang Yi helping him run errands, he can protect his four wives from harm.
After all, Song Qiangyi would never give up, and Song Qing would come to him sooner or later.
That night, Song Qing took a shovel and started digging in the house until dawn.
On the basis of Li Yongnian, he dug one person deeper, but all failed.
This made him begin to wonder if he had been deceived by Li Yongnian.
"That shouldn't be the case. How could that fool have deceived me?"
"If you didn't lie to me, where is the gold?"
While talking, Li Banxian's voice came from the window.
"Mr. Song, let me tell you, you were probably deceived by Li Yongnian."
Song Qing was shocked and hurriedly crawled out of the pit. Only then did he see Li Banxian enter the house without knowing when.
"Why did you get in?"
Li Banxian said, "If I didn't come in, Mr. Song might have been digging forever and still be kept in the dark."
