It would be better if it were the instep, but it happens to be the toes...
Li Yuan and Li Rui stood outside the door, listening to what was going on inside, and their eyebrows couldn't help but beat.
Li Rui thought to himself, sure enough, this Xie Xiucai is so unlucky, no wonder no one dares to marry him even though he is already twenty-five years old.
Li Yuan couldn't help but want to cover her face.
She had seen unlucky people, but never such unlucky ones.
He just came out to open the door, but he got injured again and again.
It is really not easy for him to live to this age!
His bad luck made him feel a little evil. Didn't he think about going to some temple or something to pay homage?
Xianggui thought so, but Li Yuan couldn't say such things in front of others.
When the door of Xie's house was finally opened, Xie Yanzhi looked at Li Yuan with an extremely unnatural smile on his face.
"Sister, are you here? I've already paid you the stall fee for setting up the stall, and I've also said hello to you at the Yamen. I'll take you over to see the specific location later. In addition, Junzi told me something when he left. , I’ll tell you more about it later.”
Li Yuan knew what he meant by the last sentence, so she didn't say it in front of Li Rui and Wang Can. She just asked: "Did you pay for the stall fee? How much money, I'll give it to you."
Xie Yanzhi was very clear about money.
He can lend a hand to his friends when they are in trouble.
Occasionally, when I see a poor beggar, I will feel kindhearted.
But this does not mean that because he has the ability, after helping his friend's sister, he still pays out of his own pocket and does not want the other party to pay back.
No, as soon as Li Yuan opened her mouth, he said: "The earthen stove equipped in your stall has two connected openings, which can hold two pots. And there are people coming and going, and the location is good, so it requires two hundred coins a month.
The yamen side starts counting from October to the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, a total of three months and six hundred coins. If you want to continue renting next year, you need to go to the Yamen half a month in advance to renew the payment for the next quarter. "
Li Yuan had just visited there and knew what the stalls there looked like.
It can be said that it doesn't matter to ordinary people, they really can't get it.
The location is good, the population flow is large, and there is a vegetable market not far away.
Usually, as soon as there is a vacancy, it will be rented immediately, and it will never be her turn.
I don’t know how Xie Yanzhi did it. I guess he owed a lot of favors.
"Okay, thank you, brother. In this way, when my noodle stall opens, you can just come and eat. In the past three months before the end of the year, as long as I still set up the stall, I won't charge you any money."
Li Yuan knew that Xie Yanzhi was not short of money, because he was not married and Li Jun was not around. As a divorced woman, it was inappropriate for her to give him anything.
Instead of thinking about whether to give a gift or go to a restaurant to treat guests to a meal, it would be better to let him come to the stall and eat noodles for free.
While thinking this, Li Yuan opened her purse, took out one ingot or one tael of silver, and handed it over.
"Brother Xie, here are 600 Wen to return to you. For the remaining 400 Wen, I would like to ask you to help write the complaint."
Xie Yanzhi originally wanted to say that since he was going to eat noodles, he should still pay.
But before he could say this, he heard that Li Yuan was about to write a complaint, and she immediately raised her eyebrows: "Who are you going to sue, the Liu family?"
With that said, he took the money, stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, and led everyone into the house.
Li Yuan looked at Wang Can: "Can Niang, come and talk to Brother Xie about this. I'll boil some hot water first."
Because it was his own matter, Wang Can did not refuse, and was very grateful to Li Yuan for paying her 400 yuan in litigation fees.
She knew that the four hundred articles included inviting Xie Yanzhi to be a litigator.
She had heard someone say before that if you hired a lawyer, you would have a greater chance of winning.
As for litigants, they need people who can write and argue and have a good reputation.
She didn't know how many scholars there were in Liuyun County.
But what I know is that neither Shuiyun Village nor Lijia’ao has it!
"Okay, Sister Yuan, go ahead. I'd also like to ask Xie Xiucai to help my uncle Maocai write a complaint as well."
Li Yuan didn't know what was going on with Wang Maocai, so she nodded when she heard Wang Can's words, and then looked at Xie Yanzhi.
"Brother Xie, do you have firewood or charcoal at home? It's getting late now. I want to boil some hot water for you first, and then I'll make a fire for you to cook. Later, the people at the grain and oil store will bring the rice noodles I bought. I’ll send it to you. By the way, you can put all my things here, right?”
"It's okay. I have a big family and I live alone. You can put as much stuff as you want. I'm easy to support. Just give me some steamed buns and cakes and you can make whatever you want."
After Xie Yanzhi burned down his kitchen, he never used it again until it was repaired.
However, we had all the things we should have, including the day we repaired the kitchen. We also prepared firewood, rice, flour, oil, and salt, but we never used them.
The firewood at home must be usable now. He saw that the rice noodles had been left out for a long time, so he gave them to Yang Gaowu.
Hearing Li Yuan's words at this time, he was a little moved.
To be honest, he was tired of eating out all day long. It would be great for him if he could cook at home.
After receiving Xie Yanzhi's consent, Li Yuan looked at Li Rui who was sitting aside.
"Second brother, I think the people from the grain and oil store should have delivered the goods. I will boil some hot water for everyone before cooking. You can help me go to the vegetable market to buy some meat and vegetables."
The vegetable market is between Rongshu Lane and Chengdong Stalls, less than 200 meters away.
When Li Rui heard this, he nodded: "Okay!"
After saying that, he strode out without waiting for Li Yuan to give him any money.
Not long after he left, people from the grain and oil store delivered goods to his door.
After Li Yuan asked people to move the things into the kitchen, she quickly started washing rice and cooking.
It is said that the kitchen of Xie Yanzhi's house is really well built. It is not only spacious, but also has three openings for the earthen stove.
These three openings are connected. The first one is hot and suitable for cooking over high heat.
The second one is suitable for making soup, steaming things or stewing rice, and making pancakes.
The last one is connected to the chimney and is suitable for heating hot water for cooking.
Xie Yanzhi, who was originally listening to Wang Can talk about her grievances with the Zhao family, looked at Wang Can when she heard the sound of Li Yuan fetching water in the courtyard.
"Miss Wang, I'm not in a hurry to read this complaint. How about I wait until after dinner to write it?"
Without waiting for Wang Can's consent, he stood up and walked out.
He wanted to help, but Li Yuan, who was at the well, waved away him when she saw him.
"Go, go, go aside, don't come here, it's dangerous!"
Xie Yanzhi: "..."
Is this being disliked? He just thought that she was a weak woman, and this was his home, so she should help carry water!
Wang Can saw the aggrieved look on his face and wanted to laugh, but he held it back.
"Sister Yuan, I'll cook with you. It's the same as writing this complaint in the afternoon."
"Don't you have something else to do in the afternoon? You and Brother Xie are busy first. You just need to cook some food. I can do it alone."
Wang Can, who was rejected, glanced at her helplessly, and then looked at Xie Yanzhi: "Xie Xiucai, do you see?"
Xie Yanzhi didn't care either. He wanted to help, but obviously Li Yuan didn't need it!
Okay, after all, if you really ask him to help, it will most likely be a disservice.
