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

The increase of 0.4 in the spirit attribute is significant. It only increases the attribute points, which is slightly insufficient to compensate for the energy gained from digesting a belly full of pork belly.

Moreover, after only three days of rest at home, he will have to go back to the fields to work on the farm.

By then, after a period of exhaustion, his body needed to replenish itself with oil and water. Therefore, Li Xingdao did not stand on ceremony with Li Nao and, after taking some food and drinks, he directly and cheerfully expressed his thoughts.

Hearing Li Xingdao's words, Li Nao was not angry. Instead, he looked at him with a smile and nodded in response:

"Alright, you've been working so hard here, it's fine to take some pork belly home. See how much food everyone has left in that basin, just take it all home in that basin."

"Thank you so much! This pork belly tastes delicious, so I won't be polite."

Upon hearing this, Li Xingdao spoke with a simple and honest expression. After speaking, he used a spatula to pour the remaining three bowls' worth of pork belly from the pot into a porcelain basin.

Then, with a happy expression, he hugged the porcelain basin, put the lid on, and turned to walk home with a grin.

"Don't rush off, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Li Xingdao carrying the pot of pork belly back, Li Nao's eyes lit up, and he called him back, looking at him with a smile.

"What is it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xingdao turned around and looked at him with some surprise, asking a question.

Upon hearing Li Xingdao's words, Li Nao's face also broke into a smile:

"Don't you like spending time with Xiaohua? You have three days off before the busy farming season, and you'll have nothing to do. Go see Xiaohua more often, and the two of you can go catch some fish together."

Should I let Xiaohua stay with me?

Li Xingdao looked at Li Nao with some surprise, and seeing the smiling face on his face, a strange and absurd thought arose in his mind:

Could it be that Li Nao is planning to use Li Xiaohua to keep him tied down, so that when he works for Li Lai's family, he can also help them with some work?

But even now, if something happens to Li Xiaohua's family, isn't he helping them out?

Although they said they should give him some food, he also had food at Li Lai's house. The seven brothers were originally one family, so why did they need to do this?

Li Xingdao was a little confused, but he didn't think much of it. He just nodded with a smile and said with a simple grin:

"Okay, I like Xiaohua the most. After I've rested enough, I'll go and see Xiaohua more often."

After Li Xingdao finished speaking, Li Nao's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he nodded at him with satisfaction:

"Okay, that's more like it. In that case, hurry back and rest. Take a good shower and get a good night's sleep. Go fishing with Xiaohua tomorrow morning. We've almost finished eating all the fish at home anyway."

Fifteen days have passed since I came from Lixingdao to chop firewood.

After half a month, Li Xingdao upgraded his profession, ate well, and trained, becoming stronger and stronger. At the same time, most of the fish he had caught before were eaten, and it was obviously time for a new fishing season.

As for why so many fish were caught and consumed so quickly, Li Xingdao guessed that a lot of the fish must have been given to the people in the brick kiln to eat. After all, he ate fish and pork belly every day, so the fish consumption must have been fast.

After all, catching too many fish would make them too salty, and dried fish certainly wouldn't taste as good as fresh ones. If Li Xingdao hadn't caught so many fish, then the brick kiln's needs would definitely have been met by them fishing with nets.

But since Li Xingdao has caught a lot of fish, he will definitely transfer the fish he catches to eat.

Secondly, the harvest season is approaching, and people need nutritional supplements during the work period, so it's only natural to prepare some fish at home for future use.

Therefore, Li Xingdao was not surprised by Li Nao's arrangement.

The autumn harvest was three days later than Li Xingdao had predicted, which allowed him to have three days of rest after working for 15 days.

"Okay, then have Xiaohua come to my house tomorrow. Once she finds me, I'll go fishing with her in Dongtang."

Upon hearing Li Nao's words, Li Xingdao smiled broadly and said, "As long as Li Gou doesn't come fishing for me again this time, it'll be fine."

"Don't worry, it's almost harvest time. Everyone wants to store fish to replenish their nutrition, so they won't be hungry when they have to work hard. Li Gou won't stop you this time."

Hearing Li Xingdao's words, Li Nao laughed and said, "Alright, you should go back now and get some rest. You must be tired today."

"Okay, sure."

Upon hearing this, Li Xingdao smiled憨厚ly and agreed, without saying anything silly like that he had eaten two large bowls of pork belly without feeling tired.

After saying that, he chuckled, picked up his bowl of pork belly, and turned to go back inside, under Li Nao's gaze.

Seeing that Li Xingdao had taken the rest of the pork belly away, Li Nao didn't look at it anymore. He went back and called over a group of his family's children in the brick kiln, along with his five other brothers who were able-bodied, and they all gathered in the main hall of the brick kiln.

Seeing that the fire in the stove had gone out, Li Hen, the eldest of the seven Li brothers, nodded in satisfaction and looked at the others with a smile, saying:

"The last batch of bricks has been handed over, and the silver has been exchanged. We received a total of 360 taels of silver, which will be divided among the seven families according to the amount of work each family did. Now, all the silver is here."

As Li Hen spoke, he opened a wooden box that the central government had prepared in advance, revealing pieces of silver inside, his face full of smiles:

"Come on, everyone, let's divide the accounts, and then give the second son his share."

"Hey, this second son is lucky. He found a fool to work at his house. Even with a broken leg, he can still make a living and get a share of the brick kiln profits."

"It's a small amount, but it's still a considerable sum of money."

Upon hearing the leader's words, the other brothers all smiled and spoke up.

Then, they all stepped forward one after another with shining eyes, dividing the silver according to the agreed amount, and finally leaving ten taels of silver for Li Lai's family.

"This brick kiln is really a good thing. It's quite an achievement that Li Xiucai was able to build a brick kiln in our Peach Blossom Village. He truly deserves to be called a scholar."

With the silver divided up, Li Nao couldn't help but speak with a beaming smile.

These words immediately drew a glance from the brothers, their faces beaming with smiles and smugness.

"But now, hehe, even the best things have fallen into our hands, and we'll also send a couple of souls to the underworld, so it's a good thing."

Li Hen looked at the pile of silver coins in his hand, chuckled, and then glanced at Li Lai's share, shook his head, and said with a mocking smile:

"One shouldn't be too greedy. You can't be like the second son, who earned a share of the profits from someone else's brick kiln and then tried to take away their entire fortune."

"Now he's getting his comeuppance. He can't even have a child, and now he's crippled and can't even move. He has to stay home to recover. But even so, he still can't stay still. He tricked his mentally challenged son into coming home to work as a laborer."

Li Nao picked up where Li Hen left off, shook his head, and grabbed the ten taels of silver from Li Lai:

"But Li Xingdao is quite capable at his work. I'll have Xiaohua deliver these ten taels of silver to my second brother tomorrow."
