Chapter Eighty: So, grown-up, you're actually bullying

rn the rent for that courtyard."Li Laosan nodded, "Okay, Big Brother, don't worry, I'll take care of this."From now on, Li Ge'er will study with Jia Ren in Lu'an in the afternoon. That’s settled.Every...As expected, Old Lady Li immediately took her leave.

"Young master, this girl must be tired."

Ye Gongzi nodded, her expression still slightly dazed.

Jiayin leaned against her grandmother's shoulder and walked out, giving him a mischievous look.

Just as Dong Mei brought the medicine in, Ye Gongzi came to his senses and, after a moment's thought, asked.

"Winter Plum, do you remember when you turned one year old"

"A year old" Dongmei didn't understand what the young master was thinking about again, so she replied.

"No, sir. Little children don't remember things until they are four or five years old!"

Young Master Ye gazed at the door, his expression growing increasingly strange.

Winter Plum thought that he was looking forward to the doctor coming sooner, so she persuaded him.

"Master, don't worry. It is only three hundred miles from here to Kyoto. Big Mountain will surely be back in two days."

Then she pushed the medicine bowl forward.

Young Master Ye hesitated for a moment, then pushed the bowl away.

"I'm done with this medicine. It only suppresses coughs; it doesn't do anything else."

Winter Plum also knew that this medicine was only a temporary measure and couldn't cure the disease at its root. But her master had coughed up blood severely earlier, and she felt uneasy not giving him the medicine.

She still wanted to persuade him, but Young Master Ye lay down.

Dong Mei was unable to, she could only put the medicine away.

Early the next morning, Tao Hongying got up early and was busy.

Last night, Xi Wu's commotion was known to everyone in the house.

But no one understood medicine, and no one could help.

It's good if the patient can eat a few more bites of delicious food at this time.

She cooked the rice porridge until it was soft and mushy, blooming with a fragrant white hue. It was topped with small balls of scallion oil, about the size of a toddler's fist.

Then I stir-fried eggs with emerald green cucumbers, followed by a serving of pine nut spinach.

A simple and delicious breakfast is all that's needed, light and refreshing yet perfect for someone like Ye Gongzi.

He drank half a bowl of porridge, ate one flower roll, and half a plate of vegetables.

After putting down his chopsticks, he tried to get up and walk around. He felt much better.

Winter Plum was also ecstatic, being able to eat was a good thing, eating enough would give her the energy to recover.

"Young Master, this Li family's daughter-in-law is truly impressive. Her cooking skills surpass even our head cook. I haven't seen you eat this much in ages!"

Miss Ye nodded. Who would have thought that by casually finding a place to stay, she would actually meet such kind people.

At this moment, the door opened and Li Lao Tai carried Jia Yin over.

Seeing that Ye Gongzi's face was looking good and he ate all the food, she was happy too.

"That's it, raise it for another three or four days, and it will be cured."

Winter Plum kept saying her thanks, which made Old Li wave her hand and roll up her sleeves to help her collect the bowls and chopsticks and carry them to the kitchen.

Jia Yin leaned against the edge of the kang, carefully sizing up Ye Gongzi.

Last night, Ye Gongzi was feeling unwell and the light was dim. He didn't take a good look at this little girl either.

Though chubby and cute, this child is also ordinary.

If you're talking about something peculiar, it would have to be the eyes.

To be precise, it's the eyes!

This scrutiny directed at him was not what a one-year-old should be subjected to...

Jia Yin wasn't afraid of being seen through. She had already made up her mind when she decided to sell medicine.

She was just a little child not yet a year old, and everyone in the family watched her come out of her mother's womb. There was nothing suspicious about it no matter how you looked into it.

She tried hard to climb onto the kang, but her short legs just wouldn't cooperate.

The divan's edge was up, but his feet left the ground, just like a monkey stuck in a tree.

If you loosen your grip even a little, you're sure to take a tumble.

At such a crucial moment, Young Master Ye is still watching the commotion. How foolish!

Jia Yin glared at him fiercely and shouted forcefully, "Help!"

Miss Ye came to her senses and, seeing clearly, laughed.

He bent down and supported the little girl, apologizing softly.

"Sorry, it's not that I'm not helping, it's just that I didn't notice for a while."

"Humph!" Jiayin wrinkled her little nose, trying to express her displeasure, but her expression was really too cute.

Young Master Ye couldn't help but reach out to pinch her small face, only to be slapped by Jia Yin's plump little hand.

Jia Yin again took out the silver hairpin from last night and waved it forcefully before Young Master Ye's eyes.

Miss Ye couldn't help but laugh more and more, asking in a low voice.

"The medicine you gave me last night, was it really medicine Are you here to ask for the money back"

Jia Yin nodded vigorously, and as a result, the little fat boy's balance was poor and he almost fell backward again. Fortunately, Ye Gongzi helped him up.

Jia Yin blushed, thought for a moment, then put her hands behind her back and took out two pills.

At this time, Lao Tai Li and Dongmei came back from the kitchen, their voices already echoing in.

Young Master Ye quickly snatched the pill and tossed it into his mouth, then picked up the warm water on the table and drank it down.

Old Mrs. Li entered the room and saw her granddaughter had climbed onto the bed again, so she quickly scooped her up, not wanting to disturb Mr. Ye's rest.

Jia Yin's eyes widened in alarm. She hadn't even gotten the medicine money, so wouldn't she end up losing two pieces of medicine instead

Young Master Ye couldn't help himself, he was amused by the little girl and started to laugh.

Winter Plum saw this and was confused, wondering what had come over the young master.

Young Master Ye didn't want to explain, so he ordered.

"I'm afraid we'll have to stay here for a few more days. You go to the city to buy some food, don't cheat the Li family. Also, bring back three hundred taels of silver, remember to use five taels each silver ingot."

Dong Mei readily agreed, and was very pleased with the idea.

After all, at a time like this, she wouldn't dare to move the master.

When Li Lao Tai heard that her master and servant would be staying for several more days, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

Li Lao'er had someone to look after him at home, so Li Laosan hitched up a mule cart and, accompanied by Zhao Yuru, escorted Dongmei into the city.

Jia Yin lay on her family's kang, as puffed up as a toad.

I've lost out, truly lost out!

Here is a translation of the provided text:

He was such a handsome young master, yet he actually mooched off children's money and stole their medicine!

Old Li didn't know why her granddaughter was angry and hoped taking her out for a walk would help. She thought playing with other children in the village might also help her learn to speak more.

As a result, the village head came over at this time.

He had also heard that the Li family had guests, but he was passing by on his way to talk to a few old friends next door when he saw that the carriage hadn't left yet.

So, he came in and chatted for a bit, asking about how things were going.

Li Laotai didn't hide anything from him, she explained it carefully.

They were originally guests staying at the inn, but the guest fell ill last night and their condition worsened. They can only wait for a doctor from their family to come and treat them. I've decided to let them stay for a few more days out of kindness, after all, it's not easy being away from home.

The village head nodded, finally relieved.

"Your family is kind, this guest is lucky to be able to come to your home."

"I asked a few more questions, but Old Fourth still hadn't returned. Then the village head comforted me."

"Lao Si loves Fu Niu the most. Seeing that Fu Niu is turning one, he will definitely rush back."

"Yes, I know that too, but a mother's heart can't help but worry."

After saying a few words, the village head went next door.

At this time, Li Laosan was driving a mule cart back from the city. Zhao Yuru jumped off the carriage first and said to her mother-in-law.

"Mother, Sister Dong Mei bought a lot of things. I tried to stop her, but I couldn't."

Old Mrs. Li didn't take it seriously; their family wasn't expecting any money. Guests could buy their own food and drinks to supplement the situation, which was considerate enough.

Don't want to, just lift dozens of baskets directly from the cart.

"This is way too much!"

Half a pig, five live chickens, a basket of eggs, and a bucket of live fish.

Glutinous rice and fine noodles are both one hundred catties, and there are four altars of vegetable oil.

There were two baskets of miscellaneous food left over, including a basket full of sweet treats and candies.

“Hey, girl! Did you bring the whole market back with you”

Li Laotai pulled Dongmei, she really didn't know what to say.

Dong Mei held a box in her hands and smiled.

"Elder sister, we've already caused a lot of trouble coming to your house. We can't ask you to put out food for us again! Hongying is good at cooking, so buy some more chicken, fish, meat, and eggs. We can all share the benefits."

After some thought, Li Lao Tai didn't refuse anymore.

"Alright, I'll have Hongying work hard on the dishes and make something good for Young Master Ye to replenish his strength."

In a few words, Dongmei hugged the box and went back to the room, just bumping into Jiayin who came out to watch the commotion.e said straightforwardly, "my grandson and I are planning to go live with our son and daughter-in-law so that we can be reunited as a family. These two pots of calla lilies, also known as autumn banne...
