Water Ghost, God Hunter, Immortal Healer, and the Great Xia's Number One Martial Saint!

I cooked seven out of ten fish, intending to eat three or five of them and save two or three for dinner.

Otherwise, they're all from the countryside; they wouldn't be so extravagant.

As a result, while slowly savoring one fish, Li Xingdao ate five of them.

Li Lai raised and lowered his hand holding the fish, his expression changing repeatedly.

His original plan for letting Li Xingdao go fishing was to catch some fish so he could eat them to replenish his strength and recover faster.

As a result, he has eaten less than half of what Li Xingdao ate.

But in the end, seeing Li Xingdao still eating heartily with a simple smile, he silently swallowed his words.

After pausing for a long time on the stool, Li Lai finally picked up his bowl and chopsticks again and started eating the vegetables.

Not long after finishing his meal, Li Lai returned to his room to rest, looking rather unwell.

I lay in bed, tossing and turning for fifteen minutes, but still couldn't fall asleep.

Just as he was waiting to try changing his sleeping position, he saw Li Xingdao walk in with a simple and honest smile, lie down on the small bed opposite his bed, and fall fast asleep.

"My husband is recuperating; he's young, so he's eating a bit too much."

As Li Lai stared at Li Xingdao, lost in thought, Zhang Cui walked in.

As she got into bed to rest, she looked at Li Lai's expression and said in a low voice, "You don't need to get angry with him."

"Eating more will help your body recover better, and you'll have more energy to work later."

Li Lai shook his head: "Why would I get angry with an idiot? I was just thinking about something else."

"What is it?"

Zhang Cui was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but look at him and ask.

"This kid isn't actually that stupid. You tell me, if we really let him put in the effort, he could do a better job, wouldn't that work?"

Li Lai stroked his chin, looked at his fair and tender wife in front of him, and spoke with a shifting gaze.

“…………”

When the body is weak, it needs more rest and recuperation.

After a midday nap, Li Xingdao felt the warm current brought by the increase in attribute points completely integrated into his body.

The five 30-centimeter-long fish we ate at noon were worth it; the nutrition they provided filled the gap left by the increase in attribute points.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the increase in attribute points, Li Xingdao's Qi attribute failed to recover, even though he ate well and rested.

He had no choice but to get out of bed and go to the door to take a walk after waking up, thinking that he couldn't stay in bed because of his weak constitution.

When he got to the door, he found that Li Lai had fallen asleep sometime earlier and was sitting in the yard, smiling at him.

"Hey, come here, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Li Xingdao come out, Li Lai stretched out his hand and waved to Li Xingdao with a kind expression.

His appearance instantly brought a word to Li Xingdao's mind—malicious intent.

"Uncle Lai, what's the matter?"

Li Xingdao was wary, but he didn't show it on his face. He walked over with a smile on his face, looking honest and simple.

"Didn't you say before that you always wanted to exert a lot of effort?"

Li Lai looked at Li Xingdao who was walking over and said with a smile, "I also think you are a reliable kid. I feel at ease letting you do a good job on this land."

"How about this? I'll get you two eggs and a fish every day, so you can eat a whole chicken every two weeks."

"You, just do the work for me, and take care of your health. Once the land is planted, I'll not only let you exert yourself as much as you want, but I'll also give you plenty of free time to do whatever you want."

"If you put in a lot of effort and do a lot of work, I'll give you an extra five mu of land in exchange. If you don't put in enough effort and don't do much work, I'll give you only one mu of land in exchange."

"Furthermore, if the land is well-maintained, you can eat the crops that grow there, ensuring you have enough to eat every day."

As Li Lai spoke, he raised his limping right leg, reached out and hooked his arm around Li Xingdao's shoulder, and began to speak:

"That chicken tastes amazing. We can eat one every two weeks, and we also have eggs and fish every day. This is the life of an immortal."

"We both have the surname Li. Although we're not related by blood, two Lis can't be two Lis, right? If I don't let you use all your strength to mess around here, who will?"

"Besides, it's not like you're putting in all this effort for nothing; you're staying home anyway."

As Li Lai spoke, he looked at Li Xing with a broad smile and said, "This deal is a good one!"

After Li Lai finished speaking, he saw Li Xingdao staring at him blankly, looking somewhat dazed, and subconsciously tightened his body.

Fearing he might act foolishly or dazed, she quickly spoke sternly:

"Fool, you told me this yourself. Do you think you would lie to me, Li Lai?"

After Li Lai finished speaking, Li Xingdao suddenly came to his senses.

He suppressed his disbelief, hurriedly shook his head, and looked at Li Lai with delight in his eyes:

"You're really giving me chicken and fish, Uncle Lai?"

As Li Xingdao spoke, he deliberately swallowed, making a greedy face, which made Li Lai relax and then chuckle.

"Of course! Would your Uncle Lai lie to you?"

As Li Lai spoke, he leaned forward and earnestly told Li Xingdao, "If you agree, starting tomorrow, you'll have two eggs in your bowl every morning, at least one fish for lunch, and chicken every two weeks!"

I've put in so much effort in your yard, and you still rush over to feed me fish and meat!

Li Xingdao was greatly shocked, but then he realized what was going on and began to think.

Could it be that Li Lai is truly out of options, and seeing that he is honest, simple, and easy to control, he said that?

In such a rural environment, being unable to work and lacking good health are extremely serious issues.

Or perhaps, after Li Lai became disabled, his body gradually weakened and he became emaciated, leading to a distorted mentality.

That's why I came up with this idea, to have him work hard for me so that I can protect this family business.

Even living?

"Great, that's wonderful, Uncle Lai, you're so kind to me!"

Li Xingdao had a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, but he showed no emotion on his face. Instead, he wore a simple, honest smile and looked at the man who was so grateful he was about to cry as he spoke to him.

"Hey, as long as you work for Uncle Lai, and we're so close, if Uncle Lai doesn't treat you well, who else would he treat well?"

Li Lai spoke with a broad smile.

"Okay, okay, you're good to me, so I'll be good to you too. I'll definitely work hard and cultivate the land well for you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xingdao immediately gave a strong guarantee.

Zhang Cui, who happened to be carrying dishes past him, blushed upon hearing this. She glanced at Li Xingdao with a smile on her fair face, then turned and went into the kitchen to do something.

"Good boy, good boy!"

Li Lai laughed heartily, his expression brightening. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Li Xingdao's eyes flicker as he excitedly spoke to him:

"Uncle Lai, you've been so good to me, so I should be good to you too. Let me catch more fish in my pond!"

"I'll catch lots of fish for you, we'll marinate them, and then we can eat them whenever we want!"

Li Xingdao spoke with an honest and sincere expression, and the joy and happiness in his eyes made Li Lai swallow back what he was about to say, and he sighed inwardly.

"A fool may be foolish, but he's not naive."

Li Lai chuckled inwardly, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said to him, "Go fishing, bring back lots of fish."
