He was silent for a long time and finally said: "Liu Jinhua is giving you a hard time again?"
This is what he just heard from the villagers' words.
"She still wants to embarrass me?" Li Tan smiled young, "Don't underestimate me, I'm not someone to be bullied."
Lu Zhi paused, of course he knew what she was capable of, but looking at the thin and small woman in front of him, he really couldn't help but worry.
"No, daddy, Aunt Jinhua dug up Aunt Sifeng's fields, and then what about us." Sanya told everything about the fields.
Lu Zhi frowned: "Is there such a thing? She deserves it."
"No, she should be helping the fourth aunt's house to mend the fields now!" Sanya chuckled.
Lu Zhi listened quietly and could almost imagine Liu Jinhua crumbling in their hands.
At this moment, Li Tannian had already begun to apply the medicine on him. The girl's fingertips were extremely delicate, and Lu Zhi could clearly feel the slight coolness and pain when she applied the medicine.
Over the past few days, he had felt bursts of pain in his kneecap, which had no feeling at first. Moreover, the pain was getting stronger and stronger. Lu Zhi didn't show it on his face, but he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
Because he knew that his legs were slowly getting better!
And this thing that he originally thought was unrealistic was still accomplished by her easily!
Lu Zhi glanced at Li Tannian again, his eyes filled with darkness.
At dawn the next day, many people delivering eels gathered around the door of Zhao's house.
Li Tannian asked them to line up in order to wait for receipt of the goods according to the previously agreed price.
When it was time to arrive at Xiaotaohong, Li Tannian clearly saw Sifeng outside. She hesitated for a moment and said directly: "Do you want to keep this money yourself, or give it to your sister-in-law?"
Xiao Taohong obviously didn't expect that Li Tannian would ask such a question, and she was stunned for a moment.
Li Tannian continued: "If you are giving it to your sister-in-law, then I will not accept the eel. If you keep it yourself, I will weigh it for you immediately."
Li Tannian didn't dislike Sifeng very much, but this girl was too soft-tempered. Li Tannian couldn't stand it, so he wanted to help her stand up.
"I, I can hold it myself, okay?" Xiao Taohong's lips twitched and she said timidly.
"Why not? Is she your father or your mother? Why do you have to give her your own money?"
Xiao Taohong opened her lips and nodded silently.
Li Tannian gave her the money, and Xiao Taohong thanked Li Tannian gratefully. After leaving the door, Sifeng grabbed her.
Sifeng grabbed the money from her hand, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help complaining: "I didn't expect that a big bucket of eels like yours would only cost so little. Look at how many others sold it.
You are so useless by yourself, that’s why you sell so little. If you still sell for so little tomorrow, I will kick you out.”
Xiao Taohong shivered, and then she heard Li Tannian's voice coming from far away: "In that case, why don't you catch the eels yourself?"
Sifeng didn't expect that Li Tannian would come out. Before she could react, Li Tannian snatched the money from her hand.
"Xiao Taohong, I remember I just told you that if you keep the money yourself, I will take your eel. Since you gave the money to others, I won't take your eel."
Xiao Taohong's lips twitched and she said pitifully: "Sister-in-law, she, she wants it, but I don't dare."
Li Tannian looked at her stuttering for a few words and said with emotion: "You are such a soft-tempered person. No wonder others can bully you as much as they want."
Xiao Taohong was stunned. In her entire life, no one had ever said such a thing to her.
She was originally adopted by her parents, and she is not related by blood to her eldest brother. It is not easy for him to raise her until now.
For this reason, she always worried about her eldest brother and didn't want him to quarrel with her sister-in-law because of her own affairs, so she just gave in to her sister-in-law in everything.
"Take your eel back, I won't take it anymore."
Li Tannian finished speaking calmly and walked straight into the house. Seeing this, Sifeng made a sarcastic comment in a cold voice.
"Oh, you bitch, you can't even sell an eel, so what use are you? You are your brother's bastard. If I had known better, I wouldn't have married into your family in the first place."
Xiao Taohong panicked and hurriedly chased after Li Tannian: "Sister Nian, please help me. I don't want to be a burden on the family, and I don't want to drag down my elder brother and sister-in-law."
"I'll take your eel, but I can't give this money to your eldest brother and sister-in-law. In the future, if you have this money, you won't have to rely on your eldest brother and sister-in-law. Are you willing?" Li Tannian said.
A little light came into Xiao Taohong's eyes. She looked at Li Tannian and nodded quickly towards Li Tannian.
If the eels can be sold for so much money every day, she should have a lot of money after one month!
Xiao Taohong thought that her elder brother had worked hard for so long and only earned one or two taels of silver in a month. If she really made money, she would no longer have to rely on her elder brother in the future, which would be really good.
"If I know that you gave money to someone else again, then you won't have to help me collect eels from now on." Li Tannian said and glanced at Sifeng with a hint of meaning.
"Hey!" Sifeng was unconvinced.
"No, no, no!" Xiao Taohong has never been as determined as she is now.
Her adoptive parents are no longer here, so she can no longer rely on her brother.
My brother will have to have children with his sister-in-law in the future, and money will be needed for everything in the house. She can no longer be the family's bastard.
"Then come here and help me read the scale." Li Tannian waved to Xiao Taohong and called her back to the courtyard.
Sifeng was dumbfounded. She never expected that Xiao Taohong would be so bold! She would just leave like that!
"Who lent you the courage!" The curse words were about to burst out, but she suddenly remembered that Xiao Taohong was a soft persimmon.
Now, with Li Tannian protecting her, she dares to do so. When she goes back, she will not be allowed to be rounded or flattened by herself.
In the small courtyard of the Lu family, Xiao Taohong helped to look at the scale, which made the scale much faster.
Liu Jinhua had just watched a lively scene. Seeing how Li Tannian was targeting Sifeng, she felt more and more unsure. Then she heard Li Tannian say that she had received enough goods.
At this moment, it was Liu Jinhua's turn. Liu Jinhua was stunned and couldn't help but said: "Daughter-in-law Lu Zhi, what do you mean? You made a special trip not to accept it from me?"
Li Tannian didn't even glance at Liu Jinhua out of the corner of his eye.
Liu Jinhua froze, and the villagers looked at her meaningfully, with obvious ridicule on their faces.
"Aunt Jinhua, you have indeed received enough." Seeing this, Xiao Taohong explained weakly.
