Lee's was also stunned, she did not think that it would be related to the pain medicine formula. She thought for a moment, then closed her mouth, deciding not to interfere with her daughter's medicine collection.

"Take this dagger. You can defend yourself at critical moments." After Sun Chun thought about it, he still gave up on the idea of accompanying Xia Li up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs. He didn't want to go alone, he didn't want her to think that he was close to her because he had many plans. There were many ways to protect her, and he didn't have to always be by her side.

"Thank you for your understanding, Sun Chun." Xia Li hugged Sun Chun in front of the Lee's.

Sun Chun was stunned, he looked at Lee's behind her, and did not know what to say. Both of his hands remained in the air for a moment, then placed them on Xia Li's back, and gently hugged her.

"You youngsters have been making love for a long time, it's understandable. However, when are you planning on getting married?" Seeing Xia Li and Sun Chun embracing each other, the Lee's saw that the two liked each other and took the initiative to ask.

"Mother, you must ask Sun Chun about this, I do like him, I just don't know what he thinks." Xia Li said, he stared at Sun Chun and laughed sinisterly.

"Aunt, it's better to think about it later. Xia Li, didn't you want to go to the mountain to gather herbs!"

The expression in Sun Chun's eyes darkened, and a difficult struggle arose in his heart. In the end, he decided not to make any promises to Xia Li at all, as he was worried that he would betray her later on, and thus changed the topic.

"Alright, then I'll be going." After Xia Li finished speaking, he left the courtyard with large strides.

Xia Li was rather disappointed with Sun Chun. Something had gone wrong with her, she had clearly been taking good care of her during this period of time, and she had felt his warmth and protection. Why did he avoid her when they had reached the most crucial point?

Lee's also looked at Sun Chun in shock, she did not understand what this young man was thinking, he did not like her daughter, and was tired of being together, what difference was there between this and playing hooligan? Of course, she was only thinking about it, her personality was too weak, and she could not say it out loud.

Xia Li's heart was filled with grievances as he ran wildly all the way to Nine Dragon Mountain. When he found a corner where no one was around, he broke through the river bank with tears in his eyes and silently crouched on the ground to feel sad for a while. When his tears ran down his face, he washed them with the water from the lake on the cliff beside him and shouted at the mountain a few times while the cool breeze blew away the water droplets on his face.

When all the echoes in the surroundings were her alone, Xia Li looked at the blue sky 100 yuan, it was a vast expanse of wilderness, and only then did she feel how small and insignificant a person was. There were many problems, and she could not understand them, so she let time handle them, all she could do was to continue to live heartlessly.

She wanted to find her savior to repay her kindness so that Lee's and Xia Qing could live a carefree and carefree life. She hoped that by relying on her own hands, she would be able to make a living for herself and her family.

The reason why she was hurt by the Rich Man Yang this time was because of the disaster caused by the painkiller. She needed to reconsider how she could benefit more people by protecting herself and her family, protect it well, and not let any greedy and treacherous people get hold of it.

Xia Li's heart had problems that he needed to solve urgently, so he did not have time to think about other things. He walked all the way up the mountain, and focused on gathering medicinal herbs.

When she was certain that there was no one around her, she would hide and hide in the dark to check if anyone was following her. Only after doing this a few times did she carefully pick a few baskets of medicinal herbs, which she stored all of them in her spatial space.

In the end, Xia Li picked another basket full of ingredients and brought it back home. However, the courtyard was bustling with noise and excitement.

A carriage stopped at the entrance and a dozen or so green-gowned guards, who were all dressed in white, sat on a low stool under a big tree with the fan in their hands and chatted with Sun Chun for a while while Lee's busily served tea and passed water to them.

The manager who was standing next to Yang Xuechen saw Xia Li and said to him with a lowered head. Yang Xuechen then turned in the direction the manager pointed at and waved his hand at Xia Li.

Xia Li helplessly stroked his forehead. This master here, was urging her to take the painkillers, before she could reply, a guard had already ran over to help Xia Li take a basket of herbs. He followed behind Xia Li and asked respectfully.

"Miss Xia Li, where do you plan to keep this herb?"

"Just leave it in the kitchen." Xia Li pointed to the direction of the kitchen, the guard immediately walked over and placed the basket on a corner of the kitchen, then returned back to Yang Xuechen's side to report.

"Xia Li, look at you, your body is almost fully recovered!" Yang Xuechen walked over himself, with a smile on his lips, he sized Xia Li up.

Thank you for your concern, Brother Yang. Xia Li grinned, took a step forward, and pulled Yang Xuechen's wrist. They returned to the low stool under the tree, and personally poured him a cup of warm tea from the teapot, which he handed over to him.

Yang Xuechen was curious, why was Xia Li being so friendly with her this time? He sneaked a glance at the silent Sun Chun, thinking, why didn't the couple greet each other when they meet?

Although he felt it to be strange, he still wore the trademark smile on his face. He received the tea from Xia Li and drank it all in one gulp.

"The tea is delicious. I've already drunk three cups." Yang Xuechen laughed bitterly and said to Xia Li.

Xia Li almost laughed out loud as he covered his mouth. After enduring for a while, he blinked his eyes and asked.

"Brother Yang, I'm afraid that you didn't come this time just to drink a few cups of our tea. Could it be that you're worried about my safety and have come all the way here to see me?"

Xia Li said as he sneaked a glance at Sun Chun. The man in front of him had a normal expression, neither happy nor angry. He was currently drinking his tea with his head lowered, as if nothing else had anything to do with him.

"Of course I'm here to see how Lady Xia Li is recovering."

Yang Xuechen revealed his white and neat teeth as he smiled warmly.

"If you have anything to say, it's better to just say it. I remember the Brother Yang said that you are a profitable merchant, and that you paid attention to equal exchange." Xia Li went straight to the point.

The escort manager looked at Xia Li in shock, he never expected her to be so direct.

Sun Chun drank the tea in his hand, and sized up the escort manager and Yang Xuechen. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he hid the worry that flashed across his eyes.

Yang Xuechen and Sun Chun looked at each other and nodded politely. They retracted their gaze and smiled at the head guard.

The escort nodded his head, and fished out two contract letters for the purchase of painkillers from his bosom, and passed them over to Xia Li.

Xia Li accepted it. There were only a few lines on it, indicating the parties that were selling the painkillers, the time of the contract, and the price of each painkillers. Xia Li also promised that within a year, the floating price of the painkillers would not exceed one hundred silver.

Seeing him act so straightforwardly, the worry in Xia Li's heart immediately dropped.

"How is it? Any other ideas? If it's appropriate, let's discuss it together and add it to the contract. "

Yang Xuechen discussed and asked, his heart looking forward to this cooperation.

"I've seen it. There's no problem." Xia Li spread the contract out on the table under the tree.

"Alright, then let's sign our names separately. This matter is settled." Yang Xuechen cheerfully called for the manager to come over, and prepared to sign.

"Wait, let me take a look." Sun Chun put down the teacup in his hand, picked up the contract on the table and looked at it carefully. He glanced at Yang Xuechen's innocent expression, and whispered into his ear.

Xia Li was slightly shocked, she really did not think too much into it.

Seeing Yang Xuechen's doubtful gaze, she coughed twice, "No more than a hundred liang, but from now on, other than you guys who are using it as your own escort team, you can't sell it yourselves, and get a windfall from it."

"If you can accept, we will sign this contract. If you are Brother Yang, you still need to think about it, we can let you off temporarily." After Xia Li finished speaking, he looked at Sun Chun with gratitude.

If they were to reduce the flow of the medicine, the two of them could repay the debt and earn a living off the painkillers. If they were to sell the medicine to others, they wouldn't have to live such a miserable life.

"Then how much is the current price?" Yang Xuechen thoughtfully looked at Sun Chun, his eyes filled with appreciation. He had originally been holding onto a fan that had not been slapped at all, but now, it was tightly gripped in his hands.

"Sixty silver. If we put it in the Red River Town, this price has already eliminated the majority of the families."

"The floating price is not written on the contract, everything is according to the rules of the market, Brother Yang, do you have any other thoughts?" Xia Li said with a smile, as he looked at the man in front of him with divine eyes.

"In the future, no matter how many painkillers there are, we will send them to our escort company. We will add this sentence to the contract." Sun Chun instructed the manager beside him.

The head guard nodded his head, he took out two pieces of white paper and wrote down the contents of the contract and showed it to Xia Li and Yang Xuechen.

"Miss Xia Li, please look carefully." The manager wrote another two contracts and handed one over to Xia Li.

The corner of Xia Li's mouth raised slightly as he nodded: "I will add one more sentence. If we find out that Yang Xuechen is selling the painkillers without permission, the contract will immediately go out.

"I am slightly regretful that I came to visit Miss Xia Li today, what should I do?" Yang Xuechen opened his fan, flapping it around, he smiled: "However, who told me to take a fancy to your medicine!"

Yang Xuechen held the contract and pondered for a long time before he waved his hand to sign his name on it.

"I have no more problems. Girl, you are too ruthless." Yang Xue Chen felt his heart ache when he saw Xia Li sign the contract, and felt that he had lost a lot of silver.

"I have a headache. I'll go back first." Yang Xuechen said, he then used the fan to knock his head, and started to think about the money that he had lost.

"Master, this old servant will help you walk. Please slow down." The supervisor of the escort company caught up to Yang Xuechen quickly and helped him onto the carriage. As the carriage slowly started to move, the dozens of guards in the courtyard followed the carriage and left.

The small courtyard quickly regained its quietness, Xia Li sat back down on the low stool, and kept the contract, and looked at Sun Chun who was seated opposite and asked.

"What do you think of this Yang Xuechen?"
