Chapter 54 Aren't You Afraid of Me Running With the Money?
What Lu Zhi was holding was a handkerchief. The handkerchief was bulging, as if it was wrapped in something.
Li Tannian was stunned when he saw it.
When Lu Zhi saw that she was not moving, he opened the veil in his hand and immediately revealed several silver horns.
"The old patriarch gave me the twelve taels of silver, please keep it." His voice was gentle.
Li Tannian looked at the silver coin and was surprised: "Are you going to give it to me? Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"
Lu Zhi smiled slightly and said in a soft voice, as if he was talking about an insignificant thing: "Don't you want to go with Li Shu?"
Obviously he didn't utter a single harsh word, but the words "Try to run" were clearly written on his face.
"I have to ask for the letter, but..." Li Tannian curled his lips and said with a half-smile, "I really don't care about your money."
Is this looking down upon? Too little?
Lu Zhi's handsome face was stiff for a moment.
Li Tannian took the money in his hand, no matter what he thought: "I will keep it first, and when we divorce, I will pay you back whatever is left."
"Yes." Lu Zhi grasped the quilt and nodded calmly, "The things in the basket were specially sent by Aunt Yao to thank you."
Li Tannian opened the lid and found that the basket contained a red seal and some snacks.
The red envelope there looks bulging, there are quite a few!
Li Tannian frowned subconsciously: "My aunt's family is also having a hard time. I heard that my uncle is the only one who takes care of the whole family. Now he is bedridden again, and my aunt still sends all this money. What do they eat at home?"
You won’t stop me either.”
Lu Zhi was stunned, he really didn't expect that she would actually say such a thing!
If it were normal, she would only complain that the offer was too little, so how could she be unwilling to accept it?
She has indeed changed a lot.
Li Tannian didn't pay attention to the strange look Lu Zhi looked at her. She put the red seal on her body and planned to send it back to Aunt Lu later, then went outside to make lunch.
She hid half of the chicken evenly in a fast shape. After she boiled the water, she stewed the chicken soup with mushrooms and the leftover red mushrooms from yesterday.
When the three little ones saw her chopping chicken pieces, their eyes sparkling, they lined up in a row and leaned over the stove to stare at the chopping board.
"Mom, do you have chicken to eat today?" Sanya was very happy.
Li Tannian nodded and saw that the three little ones were idle, so he handed them the fish entrails and asked them to help them sort them out.
The three little lynxes happily squatted on the ground and tidied up. The little lynxes in the nest couldn't help but raise their necks and look at Dabao, Erbao and the others when they smelled the smell, with greedy expressions on their faces.
Li Tannian was speechless for a while. You must know that when it first came back, it would still show its teeth and make a fierce look. But now, this thing has been eating and sleeping, and it no longer shows any of the majesty that a medium-sized beast should have.
He is as obedient as a kitten!
When the chicken stewed in mushroom soup was almost ready, Sanya mysteriously picked a banana leaf from outside and came back. She wrapped all the fish offal in the banana leaf and buried it directly in the stove.
Sensing Li Tannian's gaze, Sanya hurriedly explained: "This way, the cat should like to eat it more. Brother Tieqiu's family had a cat before, and he always grilled dried fish for it to eat."
"Well, Cat will definitely like it very much!" Erbao nodded quickly.
"Or, we can try to change its name?" Li Tannian smiled slightly and tried to coax them.
"Change the name? Doesn't Maomao sound good?" Sanya was confused, and Erbao couldn't help but shake his head, "Mom, I think Maomao sounds good."
Xiao Sibao also nodded.
Li Tannian imagined what the lynx would look like when he grew up, and suddenly his face went blank: "Don't you regret it?"
The three little ones looked at each other and shook their heads.
Li Tannian had no choice but to tell them to wash their hands and eat.
Lu Zhi didn’t expect to be able to eat meat at noon!
These days, apart from having a good meal when Dabao comes back, I usually have a makeshift meal at noon.
When Li Tannian put the chicken soup on the small table, Lu Zhi couldn't help but take another look at Li Tannian. He once suspected that this meal was because of the twelve taels.
But it’s better to have something to eat than nothing!
A strong smell of chicken soup poured into his nose. Lu Zhi originally planned to ask Li Tannian to go back to the main room for dinner quickly, but he saw that she had already left.
Looking at the woman's cold and distant figure, Lu Zhi pursed his lips and couldn't help but think of Lin Ziyan, and he didn't know if she looked like this in front of Lin Ziyan.
When he realized what he was thinking, he was shocked.
Half a chicken stewed half a pot of chicken in mushroom soup. They didn't have much left after the meal. Li Tannian specially left some for Lu Dabao. After the meal, she packed it up, took out the snacks, and packed them again.
There was a bowl of sprouted sugar in the basket, and I had just left to go to Aunt Lu's house.
Sanya saw this and hurriedly followed out.
"Mom, I want to go with you too!" The second treasure was not willing to lag behind, and the little fourth treasure followed immediately.
Li Tannian looked at the shining eyes of the three little guys and couldn't bear to refuse for a moment. He just looked in the direction of the east corner and said to himself: "I will only take one with me today. Which of the three of you will go?"
The three little ones just looked at each other for a while and silently started to use rock-paper-scissors. In the end, Sanya won.
Both the second treasure and the little fourth treasure are a little unhappy, especially the little fourth treasure!
Without saying a word, he sat on the ground and started crying.
In the past, the little four treasures were not so clingy. Li Tannian was stunned. For a moment, he really wanted to take him with him.
But she didn't do it after all. She just said with a straight face: "Four Treasures, I am willing to admit defeat. Since this is your default rule, you must abide by it. If you don't get up, my mother will be angry!"
Xiao Sibao was still swallowing, and when he heard her words, he was crying and out of breath. However, under Li Tannian's gaze, he still stood up properly.
"Sibao, your grandma also sent me mung bean cake. Do you want to eat it? When mother comes back, we can eat mung bean cake, okay?"
"Yeah." Xiao Sibao finally burst into laughter after hearing this.
Li Tannian felt helpless and told Erbao to guard the house, then took Sanya out.
Along the way, Sanya kept talking non-stop. When she was almost at Aunt Lu's house, she asked again: "Mom, why are you going to Grandma Yao's house?"
"Your grandma gave us money, I will pay it back to her."
Sanya glanced at Li Tannian in confusion. Grandma Yao had already sent it, why should she return it?
Li Tannian saw the big doubts clearly written on her little face, and immediately decided to guide the little villain to do good in every detail.
"We have to be willing to help others. Your grandma's family is already in dire straits. We can't accept this money."
Sanya supported her chin with her hand, thought about it seriously, and then said with admiration: "Mom, you are so kind."
Li Tan smiled softly and touched Sanya's head with his hand: "Sanya must be willing to help others in the future."
"Uh-huh!"
Aunt Lu Yao's house is at the foot of the mountain outside the village. When Li Tannian and his wife passed by, the courtyard was quiet except for a chicken cuddler who was leading a group of chickens to peck on the ground.
"Er Gouzi's chicken actually gave birth to a baby!" Sanya was very excited and was about to get closer to take a look. Suddenly, a black dumpling came out of the small house, and the black dumpling guarded the chicken tightly.
