Seeing the Zhao brothers supporting each other and leaving their yard, Li Shiyue turned around and smiled at Li Qiutian face to face.

"Look how scared those two brothers are!"

"That's what I was saying, why is it so sudden? You're kneeling, crying, asking to be slapped, and telling us about your miserable life story?
This is because he heard about my bad reputation in the village and knew that I would not even accommodate people from my own tribe. He was afraid and came to me to seek redress. "

Li Qiutian took a sip of water before replying to Li Shiyue, "From what I can see, it's not like you don't have any sincerity at all.

The first part was probably just pretense, but the second part was probably because she was really thinking about her family and crying."

Li Shiyue smiled at Li Qiutian again: "Sister, it doesn't matter. If they listen to me and do their job well, I won't treat them unfairly, just like I won't treat Uncle Wangshui, Erdan's mother and Third Brother unfairly.

If they do something bad, I will not let them go, no matter who they are."

In the next month or so, Li Shiyue really spent money like water.

The way she spent the flowers made Li's mother and the others frightened.

Even though she had obtained a lot of good things from the barbarians, no matter how many gold plates and bowls she had, they could not withstand Li Shiyue's spending.

Seeing Li Shiyue and Shitou coming back with another cart of grain, Li's mother called Li Shiyue into the house.

"Tell me the truth, do you have any money left?"

"Mother, there are some, how can there not be any?"

"Don't be so playful with me. You are my child. When you lie, you always blink."

Li Shiyue smiled helplessly at Li's mother: "Mother, I really have the money!
Have you forgotten the reward that the general gave me for the blueprint last time?

The money hasn't been touched yet.

But we have just built the paper mill, the school and the few houses in our home, and the money we got from the barbarians is really going to be used up."

Li Shiyue walked forward and put her head on her mother's shoulder, "Mother, don't worry, I went to the paper mill the other day and saw that the materials in the retting pool are almost ready. It will only take two or three days for us to start making paper properly.

Once this paper is made, won’t money come easily? "

Mother Li glared at Li Shiyue in a reproachful manner, turned around and took out a box from the kang cabinet. When she opened it, there were lovely silver ingots inside.

"This is the money your brother got from the barbarians. I exchanged it for silver during my visits to the county town.

I wanted to save it for your brother so that he can use it as a pension in the future.

Now, if you don't have any money, just use it first, and when you make money later, you can return it to your brother."

When Li's mother saw that Li Shiyue was about to speak, she quickly raised her hand to stop her: "I know you don't want to take your brother's money.

But Shitou is the closest person to you in this world. When your mother is alive, she can take care of him. Now that your mother is gone, you will be the only one who can look after him.

I don’t ask you to watch over him all the time, but in the future, when he’s sick or in pain, you can watch over him for me, that’s all.”

Mother Li sighed deeply, lowered her head and continued to speak to Li Shiyue in a low voice: "Your brother cannot get married in this state. Even if someone marries their daughter to your brother because our family is rich, if your brother is like this and has another child like him, wouldn't that be a sin?
Brother, you can only rely on us two!
October, mother knows that you have changed. You are no longer the little girl who used to act coquettishly in mother's arms.

I don’t want anything else, and I won’t ask anything else. I just want you and your brother to live well and live a good life. That’s all.”

Li Shiyue and Li's mother were looking at each other face to face. At such a close distance, Li Shiyue's superb five senses could clearly see Li's mother's facial expressions, and even every moving muscle on her face could be seen clearly;

She could hear the sound of blood pumping out of Li's mother's heart as it beat in her chest;

In an instant, Li Shiyue realized why her mother asked her that strange question when she was half asleep and half awake a few days ago.

A few days ago, Li Shiyue happened to have her period. After a busy day, she had her meal and soon after, she lay down on the kang and fell asleep.

When she was half asleep and half awake, she heard the sound of Li's mother pushing the door open. Because it was a familiar smell and voice, and she didn't sense any malice, she just covered herself in the quilt without opening her eyes or moving.

In a trance, she heard Mother Li whispering in her ear, "Shiyue, on your eighth birthday, your mother took you to the county town to visit your uncle. What did your uncle give you? As your birthday gift?"

The time-traveling Li Shiyue had already merged with the memories of the original Li Shiyue. She only thought about this question for a moment before answering, "Uncle, give me the tail to eat, and only give it to me!"

Speaking of this, Li Shiyue smacked his lips, as if he remembered the aroma of the pickled pig's tail.

After hearing Li Shiyue's answer, Li's mother covered her mouth and burst into tears.

She raised her other hand and stroked Li Shiyue's cheek. Looking at her little girl, she felt like "this is my little girl".

Li's mother had noticed the series of changes in Li Shiyue before, but she was struggling for her life on the road to escape the famine and had no time to think about it.

But after settling down in Liujiatun, the things Li Shiyue did made her feel more and more that she was no longer her little girl.

But she didn't dare say anything.

Li Shiyue was her child, she had raised her for more than ten years, and had been with her day in and day out. How could she not notice such a big change in Li Shiyue?
It was not until Li Shiyue wanted to offer the plow and curved plow produced by the system as good things that Li's mother had obtained in her early years in order to get close to Liu Tan that Li's mother had a guess: "Did the gods in the sky take my Shiyue away and send immortals down to earth to help me overcome the calamity?

How else can we explain how October knew these things that she shouldn't know?"

Therefore, Li's mother did not believe the lame excuse Li Shiyue had given before: "I just knew it. I knew it for no reason after I became stronger."

Only then did Li's mother muster up the courage to test Li Shiyue in the middle of the night when she was vulnerable.

After hearing Li Shiyue's answer, Li's mother's heart finally began to beat with vigor again.

"Ah! This is still my little girl, but the immortal blessed her, so she became strong and intelligent!

Good! Good! It’s my child, it’s still my child! "
