"Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you doing? Have you forgotten what I have said? This house belongs to us, the people of Li Family, so how can we have a place for you to point fingers and tell us what to do?! "

Mrs Zhao was about to die from anger at Madam Zhou, how could she have adopted a daughter-in-law that did not allow people to relax!

"Mother, don't you want the next year's grains? Don't forget, you and Father only have a few acres of land left in your hands. If it weren't for me and my man, you and Father would have already gone to drink in the northwest wind! "

Madam Zhou had no intention of giving in to Madame Zhao's words.

"Boss, manage your wife!" Look how she talks to your mother! "

Madame Zhao scolded her eldest son, Li Yushan, who was standing at the side without uttering a word.

"Li Yushan, listen up. If you dare to say a single word today, you don't need to enter my house anymore. Little Stone will never recognize a useless father like you!"

"You all … "Sigh …"

When Li Yushan saw that Madame Zhao and the Madam Zhou were fighting, he helplessly scratched his head and stood at his original spot with a helpless look. He didn't dare to make a sound in the end, causing Madame Zhao's body to tremble in anger as she pointed at Li Yushan's nose and cursed.

"You unfilial son! To be able to marry a wife and forget about your mother's cowardice, it's truly a waste of raising you to this age! "

"Mother …"

In the end, Li Yushan felt that it was shameful, so he simply ignored everyone and turned to leave.

"Grandma, you can go back first. I'll talk to First Aunt about the house, you better not get into a fight with him, otherwise I'll implicate you and Grandfather."

Xia Li whispered to Madame Zhao, planning to persuade her to leave.

"No, how can I let my daughter-in-law do whatever she wants!"

Mrs Zhao stood on the spot, unwilling to leave.

"First Aunt, how about this, since the house belongs to you, and our family lives here, we can give you rent every month, if you are willing, then tell me, based on your monthly calculation, how much rent do you plan to charge?"

Xia Li wanted to find out what the Madam Zhou was thinking.

"Little girl, you are quite smart. How about this. You give me five hundred gold coins a month. I didn't ask for a tael of silver from you because you're giving face to your relatives!"

Madam Zhou laughed proudly.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, don't go overboard. A silver coin is enough for an ordinary family to spend for three months. You're asking for too much. You're going too far!"

Mrs Zhao said, as she threw away the meat and cloth in her hands, she started to look for bricks on the ground, intending to smack Madam Zhou's head with a bag.

"Mom, what are you doing!"

Madam Zhou never thought that Madame Zhao would actually use a brick to hit her, scaring her so much that she immediately retreated a few steps, preparing to escape at any moment.

"Grandma, don't be impulsive. Don't worry, I can still take out this money. Quickly, put down the brick."

Xia Li said, as he snatched away the brick in Mrs Zhao's hand, and took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeves and handed it over to Madam Zhou.

"First Aunt, take this one tael of silver first. I think this money should be enough for our whole family to live in your house for two to three months."

"Like I said, you little girl must be rich! If you hadn't, you would have done it already, truly! "

Madam Zhou hugged the silver, clenched his teeth, and kissed her. He kept the silver into his sleeves and immediately put on a smiling face, hugged the cloth and meat, and left.

"Granddaughter, you're going to be an apprentice and learn medical skills. Is the boss giving you that much money?"

Mrs Zhao really did not expect Xia Li to be so generous, and was shocked for a moment.

"Grandma, I even sold him medicinal ingredients. I didn't learn from him for nothing." Look, if I can settle the issues with First Aunt and stop the mouths of the people around us, then I might be able to pay back the debts of our family in the future, don't worry. In the future, you should avoid clashing with the First Aunt at all costs. Otherwise, I really will be a sinner. "

Xia Li said, he wanted to take out the money to give to Madame Zhao, but her sharp eyes stopped him.

"Good granddaughter, it's not easy for you to earn money, so don't give it to me, this old woman. As long as your family is well, I can be at ease. Go back!"

Mrs Zhao waved her hand and turned around to leave with Li Bao.

Xia Li took a deep breath and returned to the courtyard. Li Yushan and Xia Li left after meeting face to face, and Xia Qing happily brought the pastries Xia Li bought him over to present to him.

"Elder sister, eat one!"

"En, it's delicious. Xia Qing, eat more as well."

Xia Li squatted down and opened his mouth to eat the pastries that Xia Qing handed over. Lee's pulled Xia Qing's hand and smiled like a flower.

"Xia Li, the thin fabric that you bought is so good, coincidentally mother's body doesn't hurt anymore, from now on, I'll do needlework at home, and make clothes for you and Xia Qing."

"Alright, Mother. Then you go take a look at the fabric, I'll go prepare lunch."

Xia Li was about to walk into the kitchen, but was stopped by the Lee's.

"Mother, it's better if you go. Mother is better now, she lies down all day and doesn't do any work, her whole body feels uncomfortable."

"Mom, can you really do it?"

Xia Li remained suspicious as he sized up Lee's.

"I can. After eating the tonic you brought me, my body is much better now and I have the strength to walk. Quickly go rest."

The Lee's said as he rushed Xia Li to rest. He took Xia Qing to the kitchen to wash the vegetables and cut the meat before getting busy.

Xia Li walked to the entrance of the kitchen and stared at Lee's for a long time. Seeing how Lee's was working, with his body still able to bear it, he left the kitchen.

Sensing Xia Li's focus, Lee's swiftly cut vegetables, her skillful actions looked as if she had never been sick. Until Xia Li left, Lee's was so tired that she immediately put down the kitchen knife in her hand, gasped for breath, and held onto the chopping board to rest for a good while. Only then did she recover her strength, she could not be a burden to her family.

She didn't need Xia Li to cook for her all of a sudden, but she was a little uncomfortable. After returning to her room, she immediately saw the brush, ink, paper, and books that were quietly lying in a corner for Sun Chun. Taking advantage of the time she had, Xia Li planned to give them to Sun Chun.
