On the way back, Li Qingyou thought about it. The little mountain lady was right. She was making tofu alone in the middle of the night and running around during the day. She was really too busy. Rather than not doing both well, it was better to focus on one.

Although Second Aunt Sun in the West Courtyard is a bit talkative and gossipy, she is diligent and neat. Auntie Xie in the East Courtyard is a bit of a loser, and Li Qingyou doesn't like her very much.

Xiaoshan Niang paused in her steps, "Are you looking for someone to help?"

It's better to find her than to find someone else. I'm a little tired, but it's not that I can't do it. My son is getting older year by year, and he's about to reach the age where he should marry me, and it's time to spend money.

"Qingyou, wait a minute, I want to tell you something..." Xiaoshan Niang quickly caught up with Li Qingyou and expressed her thoughts.

Li Qingyou hesitated and said, "Isn't that too hard?"

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work." Xiaoshan Niang waved her hands repeatedly, "I have to sit around all day to suffer. Besides, I live here, so I won't delay anything."

It would be great if Xiaoshan Niang is willing. It just so happens that Li Qingyou taught her how to make tofu before. She is a semi-skilled worker, which is much better than teaching a novice.

"Okay, then if I add three hundred coins to my aunt every month, do you think it will be considered as wages for making tofu?" Li Qingyou said: "But if you can't do it, you must say it and think of other ways."

"Hey, you're not that delicate, you can do it anyway." The little mountain lady was so happy that she couldn't help but went back to feeding the chickens.

It was already half an hour, and Li Qingyou felt a little sleepy, so she turned around and went into the house to sleep for a while. When she reached the door, she met Liu Xiaosan coming out.

"Miss Li is back?" Liu Xiaosan's face was still bruised, and he smiled awkwardly, grinning in a horrible way.

Li Qingyou hummed, glanced at his face, and estimated that it would take two days to recover. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about you go back early today and come back early tomorrow morning."

She didn't plan to go out today anyway.

Liu Xiaosan's face froze slightly. It wasn't that he didn't want to go home, but he didn't dare to go back. Ever since his mother found out that he had such a good job, she asked him to arrange work for several brothers in the family.

It's so pitiful, how could he have that ability?

Although he estimated that he would have to hire people after the ranch was built, he was too embarrassed to mention it because he always felt as if he was greedy.

My mother is pressing so hard that it makes his head hurt every time he comes home these days.

"I'll leave at night, in case something happens later." Liu Xiaosan touched his nose awkwardly, and in order to prevent Li Qingyou from asking more questions, he quickly changed the subject and asked her why her brother hadn't come back.

Li Qingyou looked back, and sure enough she didn't see Adi, "Maybe he went to play again."

Li Qingyou also felt helpless that his brother was so naughty. Fortunately, he couldn't play around for a few days anymore. After the school took the autumn harvest vacation, it was time for him to study honestly.

Li Qingyou had a headache again when he thought about the school. There were no buses or commuter cars in this era, so he had to use donkey carts to pick him up every day.

I yawned and walked towards the house. After walking a few steps, I stopped and frowned slightly, as if I had forgotten something?

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Qingyou shook his head and said, forget it, let's talk about it after waking up.

She entered the room, took off her outer garments, got on the kang, closed her eyes, and finished in one breath. The next moment, Puleng sat up, grabbed the outer garments on the side and put them on. She finally remembered that she had forgotten something.

As a result, Li Qingyou just came out of the house and met the little mountain lady who was returning from feeding the chickens. "Hey, didn't you say you want to sleep for a while? Are you going out again?"

"I suddenly had something to think about. I'll be back in a while." Li Qingyou said and continued to walk out.

Hearing the noise, Liu Xiaosan hurriedly ran over from the donkey shed and followed Li Qingyou out. He wanted to ask her where she was going, but when she saw her frowning and looking serious, she swallowed the words she spoke.

Anyway, he just needs to be responsible and follow.

However, half an hour later, Liu Xiaosan looked at the Yamen in front of him, his calves felt a little cramped, and then he looked at Li Qingyou aside, "Come on, go to the Yamen?"

The common people's fear of seeing officials was fully reflected in Liu Xiaosan. Even if he had not committed any crime, and even when he was clearly justified, he would not dare to go to the yamen gate.

Liu Xiaosan was not the only one who was startled. Adi, who was not far away, was also startled. He hurriedly hid behind the alley and peeked at Li Qingyou's direction through the wall.

"Not here?" Li Qingyou looked at the yamen servant and frowned slightly subconsciously, "Then does this little brother know where Mr. Xu has gone and when he will return?"

The yamen servant was very unfamiliar today, so Li Qingyou secretly slipped a small piece of silver into his hand.

The yamen servant weighed it and then said: "My lord, I have been feeling cold these days. Please close the door to thank guests and go back."

Feeling cold?

It was obviously fine when I saw it in the morning.

Li Qingyou wanted to say something else, but the officer glared at him and drew his knife and knocked him out.

"Niang Xipi, you are really heartless. You don't acknowledge the debt after receiving the money, and you fall out when you put on your pants. It's so shameless..." Li Qingyou was very angry, muttering curses in her mouth as she walked back.

She rarely loses her composure like this, but today this matter is really frustrating. After all, she paid for it, and the concierge of the Wei family is not so domineering. If Liu Xiaosan hadn't stopped her just now, she would have...

Well, no one stopped her and she couldn't do anything, she was just angry.

Liu Xiaosan secretly glanced at Li Qingyou from the side. He opened his mouth several times and wanted to say that he came from a girl's house and stopped talking about putting on his pants. But after opening his mouth several times, he did not dare to say anything.

After walking a few steps, I bumped into someone in front of me, "Miss Li?"

The man looked up and down for a few times, then smiled and said, "Why would I not recognize this appearance unless the voice sounded familiar to me?"

Li Qingyou was stunned for a moment, and then he saw clearly that the person opposite was called Zhubashan, and he was Zhang Tieniu's other good friend besides Shen Si.

"It turns out to be Brother Zhu." Li Qingyou smiled and gave a hand gesture, "It's funny."

"Miss Li is here..." Zhubashan glanced in the direction of the Yamen, and subconsciously wanted to say that she came to see Zhang Tieniu, but when he thought of what happened a few days ago, he did not say the next words.

"Oh, I'm here to see Mr. Xu." Li Qingyou said quickly: "I saw him in the morning, but the officer at the door just now said that Mr. Xu is sick?"

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the yamen entrance.

Zhu Bashan followed her gaze and smiled, "Don't worry about it, Miss Li. That boy was kicked out by his mother-in-law last night and is so angry that he has nowhere to vent his anger."

Then he lowered his voice and said: "My lord is not sick, but he left the county town after noon. No one knows where he went. If you have something to do, you should come back in three or five days."

go out?

This was something Li Qingyou didn't expect. If he had known earlier, he would have come directly to the Yamen after leaving Cross Street.
