A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the person Li Qingyou was looking for these days still didn't show up. No matter how anxious she was, there was nothing she could do.

She also thought about other methods, but felt that the results were not very good, so she could only wait for the current solution.

"Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, let's have some meat dishes, and sister will cook you something delicious tonight." Li Qingyou announced in a good mood after getting up early in the morning. Seeing her brother dancing happily, he couldn't help but laugh. He is a child after all.

"Thank you sister." Adi was very happy. He had been eating sticky bean buns these days and he almost vomited.

The water in the water tank bottomed out, Li Qingyou picked up the bucket and went out, "Okay, you wait at home and go elsewhere, while my sister goes to fetch water."

In this era of backward industry, drilling a well seemed simple, but it required surveying the groundwater level. Therefore, unless they were wealthy families, ordinary people could not afford to drill a well.

There is a big well at the entrance of Mao'er Hutong, where people nearby draw water.

Because Li Qingyou has become famous recently, in order to avoid being watched by people, she deliberately got up early to fetch water.

It was just dawn in the morning, and there was a cloud of white mist in his breath. Li Qingyou came to the well carrying a heavy wooden bucket.

A pulley is driven on the edge of the wide well, with a thick hemp rope hanging down from it. The bucket is tied to the pulley, and then the handle of the pulley is shaken to push the bucket down. When it is filled with water, it is shaken up again.

The wooden bucket was not light in weight, and a full bucket of water weighed at least dozens of kilograms. Li Qingyou had thin arms and legs, and the edges of the well were covered with thick ice, so she looked like she would fall into the well at any time.

Not far away, Zhang Tieniu couldn't sleep well for several nights in a row. His mother kept whispering in his ear to ask him to go on a blind date, which made him even more annoyed. He couldn't talk back to his mother, so he could only hide away.

.

Unexpectedly, I saw Li Qingyou.

All the hesitations in my heart these past few days disappeared the moment he saw her. His body issued instructions before his brain, and he strode behind Li Qingyou.

"Sister Qingyou, let me help you."

The sudden sound frightened Li Qingyou and she almost fell into the well. Fortunately, Zhang Tieniu caught her, took the barrel from her hand, and tied it to the rope of the windlass skillfully.

Li Qingyou was relieved when he saw that it was Zhang Tieniu. Since that day in the court, this was the first time he had seen him in the past few days since he came back, and he felt very happy.

"Brother Tieniu, thank you for your help in what happened last time. I have always wanted to thank you in person, but I have never found the time these days." Li Qingyou's words were very reserved. She was sure that he was at home when she went to Zhang's house to find him that day.

I must also know that she has been there.

Zhang Tieniu hummed, "It's okay, it's nothing."

He never dared to look at her while talking.

Although Li Qingyou felt that something was wrong with him, she didn't think much about it and chatted with him warmly.

Zhang Tieniu responded word for word, and eventually Li Qingyou felt his coldness and couldn't help but stop talking.

Zhang Tieniu was very strong and quickly fetched a bucket of water. Li Qingyou didn't need to say anything, he just took the bucket to her house, poured it into the water tank and continued to fetch water. In a short time, the water tank was full.

"Brother Tieniu, wipe your sweat." Li Qingyou handed over the handkerchief, turned around and poured him a bowl of tea, "Drink some water and rest."

In the past, he would have accepted it and would sit down to drink some water and talk, but today he didn't. He just said he was going home first and strode out.

Until this moment, Li Qingyou also deeply felt that something was wrong with him, but he didn't say anything, so he could only send him out silently.

Until they reached the gate, Li Qingyou didn't deliver any more food and waited for him to go out before closing the gate.

At this time, Zhang Tieniu stopped and remained silent for a long time with his back to Li Qingyou. It wasn't until she asked what happened that he asked, "Why isn't that person here?"

He had a lot to ask. He had heard everything that happened at Li Qingyou's house in the past few days. He knew that she had a cousin who stood up for her when the Li family made trouble for her, and she said it in front of so many people.

Her fiancé.

He couldn't tell how he felt, as if he was about to die.

It turned out that she was his unmarried wife.

But he also knew that everything had to come first, first served. Now that she had a good home, he also wanted her to live a better life. But when the Li family came again that day, and when they were in court, why didn't her cousin show up?

He can't even protect his own woman, he's not a man.

Li Qingyou looked at him with confusion. It wasn't until he heard him talking about cousin that he realized that he was talking about a man in a brocade robe. He couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. He wanted to explain but was worried about involving his brother, so he could only say Jin.

The man in the robe is passing through.

"I had no choice at that time. The Li brothers were very stubborn, and I couldn't beat them. Fortunately, that person was very easy to talk to, so he helped me." Li Qingyou said insincerely, but Zhang Tieniu's originally gloomy gaze suddenly changed.

The child became brighter.

"Really?" The happiness came so suddenly, he couldn't believe it.

There is no cousin, no fiancé, she is still his.

"Of course, how could I lie to you about such a thing?" Li Qingyou nodded, "But I only told you this matter. Don't tell anyone else, not even my aunt."

She is afraid of getting into trouble.

Whether it is to the Li family or to those who have bad ideas about her, the man in the brocade robe is a deterrent. Otherwise, even if the government decides that she can live here alone, some thoughtful people will come and cause trouble.

Zhang Tieniu was so happy that he would agree to whatever Li Qingyou said now, scratching his head and smiling, showing his big white teeth.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhang Tieniu felt aggrieved when he thought of the uncomfortable days of not eating well and sleeping.

Li Qingyou chuckled, "You didn't even ask me."

Besides, she couldn't even see his face, how could she tell him?

"Yes, it's all my fault." Zhang Tieniu smiled even more stupidly.

After the misunderstanding was explained, he didn't want to leave. Even if he said a few words to her, or didn't speak, it would be good to look at her more.

"Um, sister Qingyou, I'm thirsty." Zhang Tieniu's face was full of embarrassment, regretting that he shouldn't have come out so early. If he had known, he would have asked her when he was fetching water.

Li Qingyou now understood that he was silent because of a misunderstanding. She was very happy after saying that, no matter what happened to Tieniu Niu, Zhang Tieniu was really very good to her.

The two of them returned to the room again. Li Qingyou handed him the bowl of tea that he had poured for him before and watched him drink it. Only then did he remember that his brother was still in the room.

My brother is also full of anger right now, no, he is full of water.

He wanted to go to the hut.

But the guy outside didn't leave, so he could only endure it and didn't dare to make a sound.
