e Empress Dowager is wise! My foster father said that if you are in the right, there is nothing to fear.""If I'm right, why should I suffer a loss That thing isn't tasty anyway. Wouldn't it be better...Everyone present felt a mixture of unease and anticipation. Seeing that their hard tactics weren't working, they now resorted to softer approaches.

But Lao Si had already searched everywhere, and finally, he simply picked up a hoe from the wall, snapped it in half with his hands, threw away the blade, swung the handle of the hoe, and stuck it directly into the eaves.

He clapped his hands and said to the dumbfounded crowd, "Anyone who disagrees, try it! I guarantee I'll hang you up there to swing every day!"

After saying that, the two brothers left, leaving everyone so scared that no one dared to speak for a long time...

When Li Laosan and Li Laosi returned home, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru had already tidied up the mess.

The courtyard's bluestones were all wet from being washed with water.

Jiayin ran across the courtyard, her tiny feet pattering like raindrops. She rushed to her father's side and hugged his arm. Her father scooped her up and carried her onto his shoulders, entering the house together.

Tao Hongying said, “Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, there are many wounded soldiers on the Marquis’ side with no place to rest. The village, Big Brother's fleet, and Second Brother’s Baigui Garden have all received quite a few. Why not keep two people here at your place too”

First, these heroes who fought for the country and were disabled shouldn't be left without food, clothing, or shelter. Second, you guys are at the dining hall during the day, and even if Wenjuan is home, only she and Xiaoyue are there. It's really too lonely. What if someone comes to cause trouble The two of them wouldn't have any way to fight back!

Li Laosi also said, “That’s right, Third Brother. We can arrange for the two veterans to look after the house and yard, chop firewood and fetch water on a daily basis.”

"With our current circumstances, it wouldn't make a difference if two more people joined us for dinner. You guys can stay out there and don't have to worry about home anymore."

Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru looked at each other, both moved.

Li Laosan thought for a moment and said: "Well, fourth brother, help me pick two older ones, whose families don't have much to do. Choosing steady and reliable veterans is more suitable."

"Alright," Li Lao Si immediately agreed.

Those wounded soldiers were all comrades who had fought alongside him. He yearned for them to have a good outcome more than anyone else!

After some more idle chatter, Li Laosi and Tao Hongying were about to take Jiayin and Xiaohu back to Suijin Tan.

Li Laosan thanked Xiaohu for helping catch the bad guy and put the smoked rabbit from his house into the car.

The little fox immediately hugged the rabbit tightly, as if afraid that someone would try to snatch it away.

Of course, the top priority target is Jia Yin, this foodie owner!

Jia Yin pouted, climbed onto the carriage pole, and sat in her mother's arms, ignoring the silly fox.

Everyone was laughing.

Tao Hongying put a veil over her daughter's head, afraid that she would be sunburned on the way back and become sallow again.

At last, she didn't forget to instruct Zhao Yuru, "Third Sister-in-law, you still have to bring Cat Brother back in the evening. When he falls asleep, call his soul. Last night, this child was frightened!"

Zhao Yuru came down and said, "Understood. I'll go to the academy later and have Zheng Qi secretly take a piece of clothing that Mao Ge often wears. At night, in the courtyard, I'll scratch it a few times, make a few sounds, and then cover it back on Mao Ge."

"I remember when Xi'ge was little and scared, our mother did the same thing. But you guys go back and don't tell Mother about last night's incident, so she won't worry too."

"Don't worry, we know to report good news but not bad news. Mother is getting older, we can't bear to have her constantly worried!" Tao Hongying nodded.

After the two sisters-in-law had said a few words to each other, Li Lao Si hurried off in his car and waved goodbye.

When Li Lao San saw the carriage drive away, he couldn't help but say: "Lao Si has also been promoted, and he doesn't even bring a few people to serve him when he goes out. He still has to drive himself."

Zhao Yuru glared at him and said reproachfully, "The Fourth Brother and Hongying are so careful! You, as the elder brother, are still barehanded. He's the younger brother, bringing so many people over like this. Is it a visit or to show off to you What if you feel uncomfortable, would the Fourth Brother be happy!"

"Oh, he's overthinking it," Li Lao San quickly waved his hand. "As his older brother, I only hope for the best for my younger brother. How could I be jealous"

Zhao Yuru snorted coldly. After holding back her nagging for most of the day, it finally burst out like a flood, "You're just a stubborn donkey, looking docile on the surface but more obstinate than anyone else!"

Before, when those people came to buy vegetables from you, I stopped them and said I wouldn't sell to them. You didn't listen! Now look, you've raised a bunch of ingrates who think our family is a sucker, wanting everyone to come and have a bite of the meat. If we don't let them have it, they get upset!

“This time Huang San'er was up to no good when he ran into Lao Si here and captured him. Those people are scared, and they'll be quiet for a while. Otherwise, if Huang San succeeds, others will follow suit and who knows how they might harm our family!”

Li Laosan was in the wrong and sighed with a bitter face, "I'm not being nice, I just think the canteen took away most of the business from the street vendors. They are pitiful too, who would have thought they were so greedy..."

"This is outside, not our village. Who can guarantee what people are like out there!" Zhao Yuru pinched her husband's arm and sighed deeply, "Even the villagers... who knows if they don't have their own thoughts..."

"The reason why life in the village is so harmonious is because, first, we have our family to support us, and second, thanks to Uncle Village Head and a few elder gentlemen who often give reminders. Otherwise, there would be quite a few problems!"

Having said that, she ignored her husband and hurriedly packed up to return to the academy.

She still needs to find Cat Elder's attendant for clothes, and then cook two good dishes for Cat Elder at noon. If this boy eats happily, maybe he won't need to be called upon at night!

Li Laosan hurriedly locked the courtyard gate and chased after him...

This time, he was thoroughly taught a lesson. He couldn't afford to be soft-hearted anymore in the future.

Listen to your wife and go home, absolutely no more going astray!

Without describing how Zhao Yuru subdued her husband, it's only said that Li Laosi drove his carriage into the city all the way. Seeing that the sun wasn't yet high, he turned towards Baihuayuan Garden, wanting to see his second brother again.

As a result, Li Laoer went to the relief agency.

There were only a few visitors in the garden admiring the flowers. One seemed intent on taking a pot away and was asking Lao Cao how to care for it.

Lao Cao was honest and kind, perhaps not as quick-witted as the young guys, but he was patient and would answer almost any question.

The guest was very satisfied and eventually successfully closed the deal.

While her parents were busy talking to Lao Cao outside, Jia Yin slipped into the small storeroom and collected all the herbs inside, storing them in her spatial pouch.

Only she and her second uncle had the keys to this storeroom. There was no need to worry about the Cao family finding out or anything disappearing, causing a fuss.

After leaving the Hundred Flowers Garden, Li Lao Si went straight to the relief agency.

As soon as the carriage drove up, they saw dozens of people bundled like dumplings under the wall outside the relief office.

Two wounded soldiers watched from the sidelines. One soldier had lost a hand, but that didn't stop him from using his other hand to whip the humanoid dumplings, who cried out in pain.

Another wounded soldier, wearing a battered hat, likely recognized Li Lao Si and hurried forward to greet him. “General, how did you come to be here The Second Master is in the courtyard. I’ll go report it.”

This man stood closer, and only then did Tao Hongying and Jiayin see clearly. Under his tattered hat, a strip of cloth was still wrapped around it, revealing that half his scalp and hair were gone, along with one ear.

Evidently, he was on the battlefield, unable to dodge the barbarian's horse-mounted saber.

Perhaps realizing how frightening he looked, the wounded soldier subconsciously took a step back and smiled awkwardly.

Li Laosi waved his hand and said, "We can just go in ourselves. What's the matter with these people"t I can do."She immediately pulled Guoqiang off the bed and slapped him hard several times.Guoqiang didn't even have time to react before he was slapped, stars dancing in his eyes.He tried to scream,...
