Chapter 49 The Road to Well-off (25)

The system continued, "Congratulations, you have completed the beginner's mission. You have successfully completed more than 10 transactions within a period of three natural months. The buyer's credit has been upgraded."

"In the next two-star buyer stage, you have two choices: limit the duration of the search, or limit the number of transactions. All restrictions will only be revoked when your credit accumulated to the level of three stars. What is your choice? "

At this time, a choice panel immediately appeared in front of Li Yannian. She didn't hesitate to choose the former — — Limit search time. The keywords were right when she was searching. Plus, she was very quick with her eyes, so one minute of order time wasn't too hard for her. On the contrary, breaking the limit of only being able to buy things four times a month was the most important thing to her at the moment.

The restrictions on these four transactions were simply too inhumane. With these restrictions, she was unable to put many ideas into practice. If she wanted to earn money, she wouldn't be able to take care of her life.

"You have chosen to restrict the duration of your search. Please wait for a moment. The system is currently updating. This transaction will begin next month. Please look forward to it."

With a flash of light, the system interface disappeared. Li Yannian was slightly excited, but at the same time excited. Thinking about how she could buy and buy at will next month, she truly wished that she could open her eyes and it would be April tomorrow.

"Sigh, she is also suffering. It wasn't long before the couple's days were over. The child was sent to the private school, and the book was read well. The family was filled with hope, but your Uncle Chun Feng was gone just like that. Tian didn't have much to grow the orphans and widows that she had left behind. It was all because of the skills she possessed that she had embroidered and sold them in the manor. She could barely support her children, but she couldn't afford to support them in her studies. A few days ago, didn't I go to her house and ask her to drink your family's moving wine? I saw her move a small stool under the sun, and the handkerchief had to be placed under her nose before she could clearly see the embroidery.

Auntie Li said slowly, and from time to time she would size up Black Bean's expression, "At that time, your Uncle Chun Feng was also involved in the matter with your parents, so the matter can't be blamed on their family, but she was very sincere. She always thought that it was their family that harmed your family, so she didn't dare come to look for trouble. In fact, I've already told her that this is a natural disaster. Who would have thought that the moment they went to the fields to collect wheat, the mountain would be washed away by the heavy rain and pour down. No one wants this. Your parents only went to help out in the fields because of Uncle Spring Peak. Who would have thought that such a big matter would happen? "Sigh, this is also fate. No one can calculate their fate …"

The Auntie Li sighed, but Black Bean opened his eyes wide: "Did my parents help Uncle Li's family collect wheat seeds that were washed away by the water? Why hasn't anyone told us this before? "

Auntie Li suddenly realized that she had spoken the wrong words and the words she had spoken just now slipped through her mouth as well.

"Then why did the Aunt Zhang tell someone that our Li Family is an unknown family, and whoever gets close to them will suffer?"

Auntie Li spat, "Pfft, who is the ungrateful one who is blabbing his heart and liver around behind his back, there's nothing wrong with that! Your Aunt Zhang and your mother were originally from the same village, and before your mother got married, she was even related to her mother's family. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If your family is really that intelligent, why don't we see our misfortune?"

After the scolding from the Auntie Li, she continued, "No wonder the two of you asked me to go and invite someone. You were even hesitating because you were afraid that he would despise you and refuse to come to my house. Aunt Zhang is afraid that you guys will blame her family, so she didn't dare to come up. "If it wasn't for today's incident, who knows how long this knot would have lasted."

Auntie Li's voice still floated as her mother's gentle and smiling face appeared in front of Black Bean, "Black Bean, after the new year, when Father and Mother have saved up enough money, I will send you to Teacher's place to study."

There was also his father, who laughed as he rubbed Mao Dou's head. He teased him, "Mao Dou, do you want to go with your big brother?"

In the blink of an eye, these things disappeared like morning dew.

Such a good father and mother had met with calamity because of someone else's land. Black Bean should have been furious. If not for Uncle Li calling them over to help out in the fields, his parents would still be alive and well by now …

But strangely, he discovered that not only was he extremely calm, he actually didn't really blame Uncle Li at all from the bottom of his heart. Maybe it was because Uncle Li had also died in the middle of the water, or maybe it was just as Auntie Li had said, no one could have predicted this. Who told his parents, or Uncle Li, to come at just the right time?

or perhaps, it was because he had heard that Aunt Zhang had been guilty of not daring to face the siblings for so long, that he finally relaxed.

This accident had brought enough torment for them, there was no need to let it continue.

Black Bean immediately decided: "Aunt, then please go back and pass a message from the Aunt Zhang's family, letting her know that we siblings have never blamed anyone, even if we knew the truth of the matter, we wouldn't blame her. If she wants to do the work in town, just give us a word of approval. If she wanted to, she could bring Ah Bao with her to the town to study. "A month and a half's worth of money can be paid for three months' wages first. If it's convenient to go back and forth, Ah Bao can also come to the store to eat."

Auntie Li's eyes reddened and she nodded with a smile, "I knew you were all good kids. We didn't hide this matter from you guys intentionally, it's just that your Aunt Zhang's heart is too heavy. "We … we are …"

Black Bean smiled in understanding. Even though he still had an unerasable scar in his heart due to his parents' death, he had already learned to look forward. He was no longer as irritable and easily resentful as he was in the past. It was as if unknowingly, he was led, guided, led by his sister, learned how to be at ease and how to be forgiving.

Just as she and Mao Dou had said, if a person were to live in hatred, they would only end up being devoured by it. And there were many beautiful things in this world that were worth looking at and thinking about. A person's life is too short. In order to live long, one must not confine themselves to a small world, and the days of hatred will only grow day by day.

Furthermore, it was only an accident.

Black Bean withdrew his thoughts, and said to Auntie Li, who was secretly wiping away her tears: "Aunt, don't blame yourself anymore. You guys also did this for your good intentions, I understand in my heart. Then I will not go to Aunt Zhang to talk, and even asked Aunt to persuade them. We have already put it down, and let Aunt Zhang put it down as soon as possible. A dead man cannot be resurrected. A dead man is at peace, but a living man has his days to live. Try to persuade her otherwise. Even if she doesn't remember herself, she should still remember Ah'Bao. "

Auntie Li replied as she sent her out the door. Looking at Black Bean's figure which gradually walked further away, not only did he feel relaxed after landing on a heavy rock, he also felt happy for his good sister.

"These children are really good children!"

She sighed with emotion before happily closing the door. She then headed to Aunt Zhang's house at the village entrance to tell her the good news.

After Black Bean returned home, he told the truth he heard from the Auntie Li family to his two younger brothers and sisters. Li Yannian and Mao Dou did not know that there was such a secret involved, so they did not speak up for a long time.

"I already told my aunt to call someone from Aunt Zhang. When I thought about it later, you guys didn't know about what happened with father and mother, so I should tell you guys to take part in the decision on whether or not you should let Aunt Zhang come help us. "Er Niu, Dou Dou, what do you guys think?"

Zhao Xu was curled up on a sofa at the side, his eyes closed while holding a stove in his hand. His ears were listening to the movements of the three siblings the entire time. After hearing the truth of the Li family's elders' deaths, he thought to himself, if I were to let that family go, it wouldn't be so easy for me to let them work in my shop to earn money to support their families. Could it be that this family of Li had a good character that was able to cultivate during Ramadan?

I will not kill Born, but Born because of me. Such a deep hatred that was comparable to the hatred of a man who killed his own family was actually wiped away so easily?

Zhao Xu squinted, and suddenly thought of something. His slender fingers, which was holding onto the furnace, began to gradually tighten, and on his hand which was half-covered by his sleeve, a layer of veins started to bulge out.

Li Yannian rubbed on Mao Dou's head and asked softly: "Dou Dou, what do you think, do you hate Aunt Zhang?"

Mao Dou shook his head. "Big Sister, I should hate her, shouldn't I?"

Li Yannian laughed: "Stupid Dou Dou, what do you hate about it that you shouldn't have? Since you feel that you don't hate her, then you don't. It takes strength to hate someone. I'll tell you a secret, I don't hate the Aunt Zhang either. If you really have to blame this matter, you can only blame the heavens for not being able to see it.

When he said this, the eyes of Black Bean and the Mao Dou brothers reddened. Li Yannian immediately stopped and laughed, "Brother, Dou Dou, the matter is over. Father and mother are watching us from underground. Brother, you did the right thing, me and Dou Dou agreed to let Aunt Zhang come to our shop and do the work. My uncle has also helped our parents a lot. I think that if my parents didn't remember my uncle's kindness back then, they wouldn't have helped them snatch the wheat. If she wants to come, then let her come. We have no objections. "

Black Bean knew that they would agree, and nodded with a faint smile: "Mn, got it."

Zhao Xu only harrumphed coldly in his heart. An idiot like Li siblings, if he lived in the Duke Palaces like him, would have been torn into pieces long ago, like a lamb in a wolf's den. It was as if his poor aunt, with a bowl of sweet soup from the kitchen, were as happy as a child and naive enough to think that the Princess was sincere in her sisterhood.

She drank the soup every day, and sometimes she fed him a small bowl.

However, after drinking the sweet soup from the kitchen for half a year, his Aunt Zhen was no longer able to smile warmly at him that day. She was no longer able to help him straighten his collar, cough out blood, and die without a cure.

That year, when he was still confused, a word suddenly popped out in his mind — the beauty has vanished, and this was probably the meaning of the word in the book.

His father was no longer merciful in the past, so he let them take a look at him before leaving in a hurry.

It was also during that year that Zhao Xu had to suffer from a few serious illnesses from time to time, and he almost lost his life a few times.

It was only by chance that he heard the old man in the mansion gossip and realized that his poor aunt had not died from coughing up blood. She had been drinking sweet soup for over half a year, and her intestines had long since rotted into mush.

Later, Zhao Xu recalled the few times when he was severely ill that year, and it was also a coincidence. All of them happened when his royal father was not in the manor, and once the large kitchen brought him something, he would inevitably suffer from a serious illness the next day.

Unfortunately, when he grew up and understood to protect himself, her mother, the Yi Wangfei, would not be so easy to deal with. Zhao Xu had never been able to understand why Madam Tu would have such a deep hatred for him and her aunt.

Logically speaking, his aunt was just a slightly favoured concubine, while he, was also just an unremarkable bastard son. Madam Tu had powerful parents that were prime ministers, ministers, and assistants, and also direct sons that had inherited the position of King Yi. No one in the Palace could threaten her and her children's interests.

So when she stayed silent for half a year and did not make any movements, Zhao Xu thought that Madam Tu had finally given up and figured out that there was no need to fight a bastard son to the death.

When he thought about the dangerous situation at that time, Zhao Xu still felt chills even to this day, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

If he wasn't so clever as to spot the loophole and roll off the carriage... He would rather have been the same as his concubine, coughing up blood and dying cleanly.

He was still feeling cold, but his forehead was touched by a warm little hand. Zhao Xu suddenly regained his senses, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the little girl from the Li Clan looking at him with concern.

"Why is your forehead covered in cold sweat? You don't have enough clothes on you? "

Li Yannian touched the clothes on his body. The thick cotton-padded jacket was supposed to be warm enough.

"It's better to go in and lie down for a while. I've been sitting for a long time, my legs are going to get numb."

Li Yannian helped him up as he spoke. During this time, Zhao Xu suddenly tilted his head and stared at her.

Li Yannian thought that he had gone silly again and patted his back with a smile: "Little fool, what are you looking at now? You even saw the flowers? "Don't stare at other girls like that when you go out in the future. If you get chased and beaten up by other girls, I won't help you."

Zhao Xu turned his head, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Heh, little fool, I don't know who is the fool.

The bit of hatred in his heart was washed away by this little fool.

Without a trace, without a trace.
