The man standing at the entrance of the alley is about thirty years old. He is wearing a fine cloth gown. He has one hand behind his back and the other hand is shaking a folding fan. He looks elegant and looks out.

Li Qingyou recognized this as Li Yushu, the head of the Li clan and Li Zheng of Li Family Village.

Li Qingyou has met the clan leader twice in these years. The first time was when Old Man Li recognized her as his daughter and took her back to the clan to write the family tree, and the other time was when he went to Lijiazhuang to look at the land a few days ago.

In fact, as a member of the Li clan, every year during the Chinese New Year, we have to go to the clan to visit the clan leader and send some New Year greetings. Those who have sons at home usually bring them.

But Li Qingyou is a girl after all, and she was picked up, so she never went there during the Chinese New Year.

"The clan leader is here." Li Qingyou curled up her lips, not showing any surprise, as if it was normal to see the clan leader of the Li family here.

And her indifferent expression also made Li Yushu raise his eyebrows.

"We've come this far, why didn't you go sit at home?" Li Qingyou said with a smile, with a hint of joking in his words, "Maybe you can't find the door."

Li Yushu took back his hand behind his back, clenched it into a fist and coughed twice, "I have something to discuss with you today, so let's find a quiet place to say a few words."

"That's natural." Li Qingyou nodded, turned around and told Zhao Xiaoshan, "You go back first, I'll go back later if I have something to do."

Zhao Xiaoshan glanced at Li Yushu, seeming a little worried. It wasn't until Li Qingyou urged him to go back with his things.

"There is a teahouse at the intersection, let's go there." Li Qingyou made an invitation gesture, and the two of them went to the teahouse together.

The teahouse was still lively and not deserted due to the festival. The shopkeeper stood behind the counter with one hand pressing the account book and the other hand pointing at the abacus. Several waiters shouted and shuttled among the guests, serving tea and water.

Crowded.

Li Qingyou directly asked for a private room and asked the waiter to serve a pot of Longjing and several plates of melon seed snacks. The clear tea soup was accompanied by the lingering aroma, and the room was filled with the fragrance of tea.

In fact, Li Qingyou doesn't like drinking tea very much, mainly because she doesn't like the taste. She always feels that the bitter taste is too unpleasant. She prefers sweet, or sweet and sour tea.

Especially this summer, I had been sweating all day long, but now I feel a little tired, and when I see the steaming water, I don’t want to drink it anymore.

It's just that I was really thirsty right now. I didn't drink much water all day long. Even at noon, I only took a few bites of dry food and drank a sip of tea from a big bowl of tea from a roadside tea shack.

She will pour herself a cup of gulu and drink it. Although the taste may not be to her taste, it is still quite comfortable to drink.

After drinking three cups of tea, my thirst was finally quenched, and my stomach growled again.

Originally, drinking tea on an empty stomach was not good, as it aroused hunger, so I finally felt better after eating a few snacks.

Li Qingyou let out a long breath, feeling satisfied that he had had enough wine and food.

These days were so stressful that she could feel that she had lost several pounds, and the clothes that fit her before were now loose.

Li Yushu didn't say a word during the whole process, he just looked at Li Qingyou quietly. To be honest, he didn't have much impression of the daughter Li Qiping picked up to recognize. The time he entered the genealogy, he just thought that the clan would have no descendants, so he picked up an orphan to raise.

There is nothing wrong with being around.

In the end, he didn't inquire too much about the property Li Qiping left behind. It only amounted to a few acres of thin farmland in a courtyard. If the orphaned girl was desperate, it seemed that he was too unkind.

Who would have thought that in just a few months, she would appear in front of him in a completely unexpected manner. When he saw Li Qingyou at home, he thought he was the son of a wealthy family or a junior member of the same clan.

This was the daughter Li Qiping recognized, and he knew her identity.

Originally, he thought that Li Qingyou brought people to Lijiazhuang to look at the land, which meant that she still cared about the friendship between the same clans, and wanted to help her clansmen to make a career on her own. He was quite comforted in his heart, and he was glad that he had let her go.

, did not kill them all.

After waiting for several days with no movement at all, Li Yushu became anxious.

The piece of land they were interested in had more than 100 acres. An acre of wasteland could be sold for nearly 400 taels for three taels of silver, which was a huge sum of money.

In addition, he also heard about what kind of ranch was going to be built there. Manpower would definitely be needed to build the ranch, and someone would have to take care of it after it was built. This would give many strong men in the clan a job, which was not only

It’s a matter of four hundred taels of silver.

This is a piece of fat meat.

And now it's not just about a piece of fat. If this piece of fat goes to another family, he, the leader of the clan, will be embarrassed, and the entire Li family will be embarrassed.

Therefore, he was willing to debase himself and come to see Li Qingyou in person.

However, from the moment she entered the house, she even ate and drank, and she did not act like a woman at all. It was as if she did not see a living person next to her. Li Yushu felt very unhappy.

Not to mention that Li Qingyou was just a member of the Li clan, not to mention that he had let her go. With his reputation as a scholar, he could not kneel down even when meeting the county magistrate. Why should she, a little orphan girl?

?

Li Yushu's eyes were filled with fire. He wanted to get angry, but because he had to ask for help from others, he had to endure it.

Here, Li Qingyou could see the changes in Li Yushu's expression from the corner of his eye, but he still didn't show any expression. When asking for help, you must have the consciousness to ask for help. If you want to take advantage of it, you can't take advantage of it in a high profile.

There was a lot of noise outside through the door panel, and there was silence inside the door panel. One was breathing fire, and the other stretched his legs and leaned on the back of the chair and fell asleep.

After a while, Li Yushu couldn't bear it anymore. The city gate would be closed later, and he was still rushing home to put on autumn fat.

"Ahem." Li Yushu cleared his voice and tapped his fingers on the table a few times, "Li Qingyou."

No movement.

"Li Qingyou?" Li Yushu frowned and raised his voice. Then he saw Li Qingyou leaning to the side, almost falling to the ground, and he quickly grabbed the edge of the table to stabilize himself.

"Ah?" Li Qingyou woke up with a start, her eyes were confused because she hadn't woken up, and she turned her head to look at Li Yushu in a daze, which made Li Yushu furious.

Is she really asleep in love?

"Sorry." Li Qingyou rubbed his eyes, sat up straight, and took another sip of the cold tea before he regained his energy, "I've been really tired these days and fell asleep without realizing it. What did you just say?

"

Li Yushu's patience had reached its limit, and his face was like a scapegoat. He slammed the table and said, "Li Qingyou, don't bully others too much."

She is not qualified to dare to treat him with such contempt.

Li Qingyou chuckled, "The patriarch is so angry, why did I bully others too much?"
