It was clear that the Third Young Master Yan was safe, but everyone was still tense as they listened to her words. It was not until she finished speaking that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Chuqiu was watching Li Youmei's performance from the side, and was also surprised. He never thought that Li Youmei had such talent, and could turn a simple thing into a story in an instant, and tell it vividly.
In her mouth, Ye Chuqiu felt that he suddenly became noble.
After hearing what Li Youmei said, Patriarch Lu and Doctor Lu thanked Ye Chuqiu for being so kind, and invited them to stay for dinner.
After Ye Chuqiu and the others declined politely, they agreed.
After dinner, in the evening, the Lujiazhuang clan leader arranged for everyone to rest at a nearby villager's home.
The next morning, someone from the Yan family finally came. They picked up the third young master Yan, and praised Chief Lu. However, they just thanked Ye Chuqiu and the others for their lifesavers and left in a hurry.
Seeing them carrying Young Master Yan San into the carriage and about to drive away, Li Youmei couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She chased after him and smiled at the steward, "Steward, I really hope that Young Master Yan San will be in good health from now on.
It’s not in vain for us to save each other.”
When the steward saw her suddenly chasing after her and saying this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. He took out a box and handed it to Li Youmei, "Our Yan family thanks you for your help. Please accept these things."
After saying that, he drove his horse and left.
Li Youmei was stunned for a moment while holding the box, and then ran to Ye Chuqiu holding the box, "Sister-in-law, this is the reward given to us by the Yan family. Can you open it and take a look?"
"Did you run over and ask for it?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
"Hey, if I don't go to them to ask for it, they are going to leave like this. This Yan family is said to be a rich family, and they don't do things with dignity." Li Youmei said and handed the box to Ye Chuqiu.
Ye Chuqiu opened it in front of them. Inside was just a box of cakes, a few silk handkerchiefs, and two sachets.
Ye Chuqiu used to work as a maid in a wealthy family. As soon as she saw this gift, she knew that it was not carefully prepared by the family, but just a gift of tiger balm that was always prepared. It was equivalent to a souvenir for future generations and was worthless.
Seeing this gift, Li Youmei was also a little disappointed, "I thought it was a box of silver."
"You have a good idea." Ye Chuqiu said with a smile and handed the box to her, "Since you are here to come, just take this thing."
After saying that, he walked to the foot of the big tree and called out to Lin Dahu and the others, "Dahu, Hehua, pack your things, let's set off."
"Ah? Are you leaving now?"
Li Youmei was holding the box, still a little stunned. Just then Lin Qingyun passed by her, so she turned around and said, "I think my sister-in-law seems a little unhappy."
"It's strange that my sister-in-law is so happy. The Yan family doesn't do things openly."
Lin Qingyun said something, called a few children, picked up baskets and carried baskets, and prepared to set off.
Li Youmei was still a little stunned. Originally, she thought the sachet was quite exquisite, and the silk handkerchief was also good. She also wanted to taste the pastry in this exquisite little box, but for some reason, when Lin Qingyun said this, she
Not happy anymore either.
"Everyone is leaving now? Let's have lunch here before leaving." Patriarch Lu came out and persuaded him to stay.
"No need, I disturbed you last night."
Ye Chuqiu turned around and said something, while Li Youmei put the box in her hand into Chief Lu's hand, "This is a gift from the Yan family. Yesterday you allowed us to have dinner, and we can't repay you. Please keep this pastry."
After saying that, he also caught up with Ye Chuqiu and the others and left in a hurry.
Patriarch Lu was stunned as he held the box in his hand. After a while, his old lady came over, saw the box in his hand, and asked, "What good things did the Yan family give me?"
"It's just a box of ordinary pastries. I think they seem a little angry." Patriarch Lu handed the box to the old woman beside him.
The patriarch's wife opened the box and took a look at it, and said: "This matter was indeed done in a very secretive manner. He is just a passer-by, and it is not like us who live here all the time. Why should we invite him into the house and thank him properly?"
"Who knows, maybe I ignored it, maybe I didn't take it to heart." Patriarch Lu said.
"Hmph, I think they are just arrogant. Yesterday we helped the third young master to see a doctor and entertained his savior, but today someone from the Yan family came, why did he take us to heart? When he came to take the person away, he said a few kind words.
He didn't tell us either." The patriarch's wife was a little unhappy.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the third young master accepts our favor, as for the others, we have nothing to do with it," said Patriarch Lu.
"That's true." The patriarch's wife nodded and said, "But I think the Lin family is not ordinary. I heard that they came from Lusu City. I heard that there was a famine there. They walked so far.
, he is also very capable and capable.”
"That's true." The clan leader also nodded and said, "We meet by chance. I wish them a bright future."
…
"Hey, you can't do good deeds these days." Li Youmei was still a little aggrieved along the way, "We are so kind to save people, but why can't we get rewarded? This was the case with the Fu family siblings before, and now this is the case with the third young master Yan."
The more Li Youmei talked, the more unhappy she became, "It's okay for the Fu family siblings, they didn't promise us anything, but this Young Master Yan, he said he would give me money when he was done, but in the end, he was sent to us, and they didn't regret it.
Admit it, it doesn’t happen anymore.”
She thought about it all the way, and her heart was full of resentment. Ye Chuqiu also understood her. It was rare for her to achieve wealth, and she wanted to make a fortune, but she didn't expect it to be in vain. It was normal to be unhappy.
Not to mention Li Youmei, she was actually a little unhappy in her heart, but when she thought about it, Master Yan San's sincere thank you had already provided her with gratitude points.
What's more, when she saved people at that time, she didn't do it for repayment, it was just out of kindness.
Therefore, when she took a break at noon, she rarely comforted Li Yumei and said, "Yumei, don't be upset. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Although we don't get the reward now, we will still be there tomorrow."
In the end, God will bring you blessings."
"What kind of blessing is there?" Li Youmei shook her head, "I don't care. I didn't pay anything anyway. I just feel unfair for you, sister-in-law."
"That's not necessary. I saved people, and God will naturally give me merit."
Ye Chuqiu smiled and said: "You see, we have gone through many hardships along the way. People who have fled like us have died of starvation and illness, but we are still fine and have no illness or disaster. Isn't this a blessing?
Report it?
Moreover, we have turned disaster into good fortune several times, which is the fate of God, because we killed bandits and saved many people before, and God has sent us blessings."
"Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense."
Li Youmei nodded and said: "Then I won't scold him anymore. I will just accumulate some merit for my grandson. When my grandson is born safely, I will scold him to death for my sister-in-law!"
Hearing what she said, Ye Chuqiu couldn't help but smile, and just nodded and said: "Okay, it's up to you."
