Among the more than thirty taels of silver, Li's mother managed to get thirty taels from Ruan Xiaolian.
Li Youzhi looked serious, "Mom, please look again to see if you have forgotten it in a different place. I will also ask the neighbors to help find someone."
Li's mother shook her head, "I didn't change places. I have to look at it every night when I go to bed. Someone must have taken it away." As she spoke, she looked in the direction of Chu Yunli and said, "Shuanglan, you have entered my house.
?"
Chu Yunli sighed, "I have been to the medical clinic for a few days. I went early and came back late. You were also at home when I was at home, and you knew whether I went in or not. Besides, how could I take your money?"
Li's mother started crying again, "Youzhi, it's better to report to the official!"
Li Youzhi looked at the sky and said, "Look for it all night first. If you really can't find it, go there early tomorrow morning."
The whole night, the Li family was noisy. Although Li's mother didn't usually interact with the neighbors, Li Youzhi was a civil servant. If he really wanted to help, they would not shirk it. There were more than a dozen people in the Li family's yard at this time.
, even Mei’s father, who has limited legs and feet, is there.
But no matter how many people there are, if you can’t find it, you can’t find it.
At dawn, Li Youzhi went to the government office to report the case.
The government took it seriously and immediately sent people to look for Li Bai, but no one in Li Bai's village saw him, and he didn't go back at all.
In this way, trying to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. If you can't find someone, there is nothing the government can do. If Li Bai had left the city yesterday to go somewhere else, the money... might be chasing after him for a while.
Not coming back.
Li's mother is sick.
Since Ruan Xiaolian left, she has been energetic every day to buy groceries and cook. After writing the concubine release letter, she felt even more energetic and planned to send Li Bai back. Originally, a half-grown man would eat me to death.
There is no reason for the Li family to raise a child in vain.
But I didn't expect that they hadn't delivered it yet, so they left on their own.
When Li's mother got sick, there was no one in the family to cook.
Of course Chu Yunli didn't want to do it, and she would be worried if she still served the mother and son, not to mention Mei Shuanglan. So, she assumed that there was something going on at the embroidery building, and she went out early and came back late every day.
In fact, she went to the medical clinic to dispense medicine. She didn't do any diagnosis and treatment, and she could earn a lot by just dispensing Rongyang Pills. This time, because the medical clinic was too small, it didn't become famous as soon as it opened as before. Just recently, Rongyang Pills
The supply began to exceed demand. She ate breakfast and dinner at the hospital and paid no attention to her family.
But one day, when Chu Yunli came back, she saw Li Youzhi sitting under the eaves, waiting for her.
It was still a bit cold in the spring evening, and the cold wind was biting.
"Shuanglan, you are back."
Chu Yunli was a little surprised. Li Youzhi hadn't had a good conversation with her for a long time. "Yeah."
Li Youzhi sighed, "My mother and I haven't had dinner yet."
"What did you eat for lunch?" Chu Yunli asked casually.
Li Youzhi looked at her and said, "The meal was delivered by the lady at the entrance of the alley."
There are many snack shops at the entrance of the alley, and Chu Yunli also went to the entrance of the alley to eat there twice.
Chu Yunli's body smelled faintly of medicine. She got up and went to the kitchen to boil water and planned to take a bath. "If you don't want to do it, just ask her to give it to you."
When Li Youzhi saw her going to the kitchen, he originally thought she was cooking. He frowned and said, "It costs dozens of coins for a delivery, so it's not cost-effective at all."
Hearing what Li Juren said, Chu Yunli felt very down-to-earth and said, "There is still some embroidery work waiting for me at the embroidery building. I have to go there in the past half month. I don't have time to help you cook."
She was already skillfully lighting the fire, and then stood up to add water to the pot. "Is mother-in-law seriously ill? What did the doctor say?"
Li Youzhi sighed, "The doctor said that my mother was originally in poor health. This time she was hit hard and she needs to take good care of her. The money for the medicine has not been paid yet."
Chu Yunli pretended not to hear his last words and sat back in front of the stove to light the fire.
There was silence in the kitchen. Under the firelight, Li Youzhi looked at his wife's side face and felt a little moved. "Shuanglan, my injury has healed. Xiaolian has also left. I want to move back to the main house."
By saying this...you want to ask for love, right?
The dog man's stomach is not full yet, but he has a lot to think about.
Chu Yunli nodded, "Okay. It just so happened that the shopkeeper at the embroidery building asked me to rush the work. I have to do embroidery at night and won't be back tomorrow."
Li Youzhi was surprised. If it had been discussed from the beginning, she should have said it as soon as she entered the door. After hearing his suggestion, she wanted to move back before she said it. She clearly wanted to avoid him. She subconsciously said, "No! You are a woman."
What if something happens if we stay outside?"
"It's fine if we don't live together. Let's sleep separately." Chu Yunli added to the fire, "Frankly speaking, as long as I think of you and Ruan Xiaolian sleeping together, I really don't want to share the same bed with you anymore.
.”
Li Youzhi looked serious, "You actually still care about this? Ruan Xiaolian is gone, do you still want to remember it for the rest of your life?"
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly, "I'm going out to find a man to sleep with, can you accept it?"
Li Youzhi choked and said, "This is different!"
Chu Yunli stood up and put water from the pot into a bucket, "It doesn't make sense for you to be loud. What's the difference between me finding a man to sleep with outside and you looking for a woman?"
"Comparing my feelings with my own, if I really find a man, what you think will be what I think."
After saying that, she carried the water out and went to the water room, then went back to the house to pack a change of clothes. Li Youzhi followed her all the way, and instead of mentioning moving back, he said, "Give me some money first.
I'll ask my mother-in-law to buy meat and vegetables to cook tomorrow. I haven't paid for my mother's medicine yet, and I still need medicine for my leg injury..."
Chu Yunli pretended not to hear, squeezed him away and went straight out to the water room.
Li Youzhi sat under the eaves and waited, watching the sky gradually getting dark before she came out. Her whole body was covered with water vapor, her cheeks were flushed, and her skin was white and tender. Her heart became more and more moved.
Chu Yunli took her clothes and went to the well to wash them. She noticed the anxious gaze behind her, frowned slightly, pretended not to know, and continued to fetch water for washing.
Li Youzhi stood up, approached her step by step, and hugged her from behind... There was a fight at the head of the bed and a fight at the end of the bed. Could it be that the man of the wealthy family couldn't live with a lot of women? If he couldn't accept it anymore, he should just take a nap.
alright.
Sensing someone approaching from behind, Chu Yunli threw down his clothes to fetch water. The mouth of the well was only as high as his waist. Li Youzhi stretched out his hand to hug him. Chu Yunli sidestepped and kicked him in the waist. The next moment, only
A scream was heard, and then with a "pop", Li Youzhi had disappeared at the mouth of the well.
The well was quite deep, and at night, it was dark inside. You could only vaguely see people flopping around in the well.
Chu Yunli threw the bucket down, "I'll pull you up."
When he threw the bucket, he hit him hard on the head. Li Youzhi screamed again and sank into the water. If he didn't know a little bit about water, he really wouldn't be able to get up.
After struggling for a long time, he finally grabbed the bucket. Chu Yunli pulled it halfway and let go as if he was tired. Li Youzhi dropped it back again. After struggling like this three times, even though Li Youzhi knew some water-based skills, he couldn't drink it.
There was little water, and he was exhausted. His hands were shaking and he could hardly hold the bucket. If he hadn't known that he would die if he couldn't hold on tightly, he would have given up. He even tried his best to pour out as much water as possible in the bucket... and shook it again.
It took Chu Yunli several times to shake the man up. It would have been fine to just let him die, but it would have been too easy for him.
After finally helping him hug the wellhead, she stretched out her hand and pulled Li Youzhi firmly to the ground, gasping for breath.
Chu Yunli was also a little tired. Pulling a big man from the bottom of the well would be impossible for most people.
Seeing his body stretched out on the ground, Chu Yunli started to fetch water and wash clothes again.
Li Youzhi lay on the ground, his eyes dizzy. After a while, he came back to his senses and saw her washing clothes slowly. A breath of breath rushed to his forehead, "I'm going to die..." He started to choke as soon as he opened his mouth, and he choked out a lot.
Water comes.
Chu Yunli finished drying his clothes and then went over to help him get up.
The movement outside disturbed Li's mother on the bed in the house, "What's wrong?"
Chu Yunli was too lazy to answer, but Li Youzhi wanted to answer, but after being afraid, the biggest feeling he felt was fatigue and coldness, and he couldn't speak at all.
Li Youzhi's legs were weak and he couldn't stand. He leaned most of his body on her before walking into the house. He was so cold that he was shaking all over and his teeth were chattering. When he entered, he sneezed several times.
Chu Yunli found some clothes for him and said, "Change them yourself."
After saying that, I was about to go out.
Li Youzhi was so cold that he said, "Help me... burn... the fire..."
Chu Yunli shook his head, "I have to go back and change my clothes!"
The wet clothes clung to her body, and when the cold wind blew, she felt chilled to the bone. After changing her clothes, she fell asleep. No matter how loud Li Youzhi shouted from next door, she didn't get up.
Li Youzhi felt cold and stiff all over. He changed his clothes and immediately lay down on the bed. He didn't feel warm until midnight. Naturally, he didn't eat dinner.
Early the next morning, after Chu Yunli got up, she glanced at Li Youzhi from the window and saw that his face was flushed and he was already feverish. He also gave up the idea of going to the medical clinic. After a while, someone would go to the embroidery building to find her.
Then she couldn't hide the fact that she didn't go to the embroidery building to embroider.
Probably hearing the sound of her opening the door, Li's mother called out from inside the room, "Shuanglan, what happened last night? You Zhi didn't answer me either..."
Her voice was a little weak, and it was obvious that she was still ill.
Chu Yunli leaned against her door, "It's nothing, it's just that he accidentally fell into the well, and it took me a long time to pull him up..."
Li's mother's eyes widened, "Is it okay to fall into a well in this weather?" She managed to sit up, holding on to the bedpost, panting, and holding on to the wall all the way to the door, "Help me go and have a look!"
Chu Yunli helped her to the study. After Li's mother saw the person on the bed clearly, her vision went dark, "Please...please doctor..."
She sat down holding on to the bedpost and urged, "Hurry!"
No wonder she was like this. Not only was Li Youzhi's face flushed, he also had a bump on his forehead and a scratch on his left cheek. It was so dark last night that Chu Yunli didn't notice it.
Chu Yunli went to ask for a doctor, and the doctor he hired was the one who had been treating Li Youzhi's leg injury before. When he heard that Li Juren had been injured again, the doctor wanted to sigh, "The Li family is really having a bad time!"
Seeing the unconscious Li Youzhi, the doctor looked solemn, took his pulse carefully, and said, "The fever must be reduced as soon as possible. Li Juren must wake up quickly, otherwise, his life may be in danger!"
Li's mother was already weak. After hearing this, she leaned against the bedpost and really had no strength at all. Of course, she might be hungry.
After a long while, Li's mother found her voice and said, "Shuanglan... hurry up and make the medicine..."
Chu Yunli went to get the medicine and came back to boil it. She deliberately didn't boil it for a long time, and casually poured it into Li Youzhi's mouth and drank it. It was already bright.
Li's mother held her stomach with a look of pain on her face, "Shuanglan, my stomach hurts so much."
