Chapter Seventy-Five: Forced to Buy
Li Ziyu squinted at Meng Yichang and the others walking away, although she didn't know why they were leaving, she was still relieved that she could temporarily solve the crisis in front of her.
Although he believed in his skills, he was also a little nervous in the face of five or six thugs with a certain martial arts foundation.
After all, the ancient martial arts path, after she saw Ren Xiaohang and his subordinates, she knew that it was completely different from the moves she had learned in modern times.
If Meng Yichang or one or two masters under him, even if he wins, it will take a lot of effort. Therefore, as soon as they left, Li Ziyu's whole person also relaxed.
Li Ziyu walked into the courtyard with a wooden stick, and found that Aunt Osmanthus and Xiao Ou, who were standing in the yard at some point, were looking at her with pale faces.
"Sister Ou, why did you get up? Did Aunt Li Luo take her medicine? Li Ziyu asked calmly, with a faint smile on her face, completely unaffected by what had just happened.
"The medicine has just been boiled, and I haven't eaten it yet," Aunt Osmanthus patted her chest with palpitations and said tremblingly.
"Let's hurry up and feed the medicine, don't hold on to it anymore."
Li Ziyu said, picked up the medicine bowl that was hanging on the side, and cautiously walked into the east house.
Aunt Osmanthus and Xiao Ou glanced at each other, supported each other and followed behind.
In the east room, Li Luo had fallen into a deep coma, and her face was strangely pale.
With the help of Aunt Osmanthus, Li Ziyu pinched Li Luo's mouth open and poured the medicine down little by little.
Li Ziyu took advantage of Aunt Osmanthus to be unprepared, and secretly dropped two drops of the potion that Ren Xiaohang had left for her to treat internal injuries into Li Luo's mouth, hoping to speed up Li Luo's recovery from internal injuries.
Li Ziyu didn't want people to know that she had all kinds of wound medicines in her hands, and from the solemn look on Ren Xiaohang's face when she gave away the medicines, she knew that the medicines in her hands were all valuable and effective. If people know, it will definitely bring unnecessary trouble to their family, which is why Li Ziyu didn't give Li Luo injury medicine at the beginning.
As for Xiao Ou, it was really critical to save her life at that time, so she didn't have time to think about it and sprinkled the medicine powder. Afterwards, Dr. Xiaoqian became suspicious, and she did not regret it, after all, nothing is worth anyone's life.
It seems to be a contradiction to say, but it is indeed the truest feeling in Li Ziyu's heart. At that time, she didn't know whether Li Luo was alive or dead, but when she knew that she was still alive, she didn't take out the potion in public.
After all, when treating Xiao Ou, there was no one next to him, only himself, and no one saw it when he sprinkled the medicine powder on his forehead, and only Dr. Xiao Qian saw the mystery. And Dr. Xiao Qian remained silent and did not expose her.
"Miss, please, you bought me. In the future, I am willing to be a cow and a horse, and serve the young lady wholeheartedly, just to save my mother's life. ”
Xiao Ou, who had been silent since he entered the room, suddenly knelt on the ground, looked at Li Ziyu with a firm gaze, and said amazing words.
Li Ziyu raised her eyebrows in surprise, and her heart was relieved.
According to Meng Yichang's current perseverance, he will definitely continue to be entangled in the future. The Sun family is the head snake in Shiyan Town, not to mention that Li Luo's mother and daughter are helpless, even people with heads and faces can't afford to mess with them.
And Meng Yichang has harmed many girls from many good families, most of them dare to be angry and dare not speak, knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs. There are also those who are not convinced and want to sue the official, but all of them end up with the destruction of their families.
Xiao Ou may have guessed something, knowing that Li Ziyu dared to stand up for their mother and daughter, he was definitely not afraid of Meng Yichang, so he would sell himself at this time.
Li Ziyu looked at Xiao Ou fixedly, seeing that her beautiful face was full of determination, her eyes were amazingly bright, and she was waiting for her to answer seriously.
From Xiao Ou's eyes, Li Ziyu saw her determination and sincerity, and quickly made a decision in her heart.
"Well, I promise you! Just, don't you regret it? Li Ziyu asked.
You must know that in the Daye Dynasty, there were five levels according to social status: the first class was noble, and it was generally a family of great families; The second class is good books, that is, ordinary people; The third class is the merchant status, which is the family of generations of merchants; The fourth class is slavery, that is, the status of slaves, once sold may be a lifetime of slavery, slaves are the private property of the master, and even their lives belong to the master; The fifth class is lowly status, that is, prostitutes, actors, and the like.
In fact, there is also a special class, that is, the royal family. The royal family is above all levels and is a special existence.
And Li Ziyu belongs to a good family, don't look at it as just an ordinary person, but it is clearly distinguished from a cheap family. Good people can participate in the imperial examination, but lowly people are not allowed, so Li Ziyu will stare at Xiao Ou and ask her if she regrets it.
"No regrets! Compared to my mother's life, this is nothing at all. Miss, you agreed, I'm serious. ”
Xiao Ou was afraid that Li Ziyu would not believe it, so he raised his right hand and swore an oath: "The sky is above, the thick earth is below, I, Li Xiaoou, swear, I will only be loyal from now on."
Speaking of this, he suddenly found that he didn't know Li Ziyu's name, so he looked at Li Ziyu in a daze: "Miss, what's your name?" ”
Li Ziyu laughed out loud, she stepped forward and picked up Xiao Ou, and said with a smile: "Okay, Sister Xiao Ou, I know you are sincere." My name is Li Ziyu, you can call me Xiaoyu in the future. ”
Aunt Osmanthus wiped her tears sadly on the side: "It's okay, no matter what, you and your mother can save your life better than anything else." ”
No one noticed that the tears oozing from the corners of Li Luo's eyes, who were lying on the kang, were silently dripping on the pillow, silently disappearing.
Li Ziyu indifferently told Xiao Ou about the situation in her family: "My family is an ordinary farmer, I am the eldest sister, and there are five younger siblings below, the situation at home may not be as good as your family, are you sure you really don't regret it?" ”
"Miss, I have made up my mind, and I will never regret it!"
"Okay, since you really make up your mind, you can pack up with Aunt Li Luo and go home with me in a while."
After Li Ziyu finished speaking, she looked at the hour and saw that it was already late, so she made lunch.
She asked the coachman to temporarily unload the cart and feed it with the forage that the driver had brought with her. I took some pork, mushrooms, and fungus from the ox cart and prepared them for stir-frying.
Li Luo's family still has some food, which can be eaten at noon.
Li Ziyu, Aunt Osmanthus and Xiao Ou are all accustomed to housework, and lunch was prepared in less than half an hour.
The main dish is stir-fried meat with mushrooms and fungus, and a cabbage soup is put in a cabbage soup.
The two children of Aunt Osmanthus and her man all came to eat together at the insistence of Li Ziyu and Xiao Ou.
Aunt Osmanthus's two children are two boys, one is ten years old and the other is eight years old and Erxi.
Lunch was divided into two tables, one table for the coachman and Aunt Osmanthus's man, one table for Aunt Osmanthus, Li Ziyu and Xiao Ou with great joy and two joys, and Li Luo didn't wake her up because she was still asleep.
Aunt Osmanthus's man's surname is Wang, his name is Wang Tiehammer, and he is a tall and burly man in his thirties. Wang Tiezhu was originally a blacksmith who made a living by striking iron on Taiping Street in North Lane. It's just that later, the thugs on the street always went to make trouble, and constantly collected the so-called protection money, so Wang Tie Hammer couldn't bear to turn off the iron furnace and changed to other livelihoods.
Shiyan Town is a well-known and prosperous town in all directions, and there are naturally many opportunities. Wang Tiehammer has a lot of strength because of his perennial iron, and later found a job in a nursing home in a merchant to make a living. Because of his upright nature, Wang Tiehammer was ostracized by other nursing homes, and he did not do well.
Li Ziyu listened to Aunt Osmanthus's nagging at the dinner table, and her heart couldn't help but move.
Since the opening of Hot Pot City, Li Ziyu has been there once on the opening day, and she has not been there yet. Although I have said that I will not participate in the operation, I really don't care about it and feel unsure. If Wang Tiezhu is asked to go to Hot Pot City as a nurse, it means that the core operation of Hot Pot City is not clear, at least there is someone he knows.
Although this Wang Tiehammer only met today, Li Ziyu could feel that their husband and wife were decent people and people who could be trusted, even Li Ziyu himself didn't know where this trust came from.
