”First Aunt, I will discuss this matter with you in a while.”

Xia Li did not even bother to pay attention to the fingers of the surrounding people, and took out eighty percent from his pocket and stuffed it into the driver's hands.

”Master, thank you. Here is the payment for your rental carriage.”

”You're too polite, young lady. You're really considerate to buy so much food for your family!”

The carriage driver rolled his eyes at the crowd and accepted the money that Xia Li handed to him. After nodding to Xia Li, he drove off.

”Grandma, Grandpa, you guys came at the right time. This morning, I picked some herbs from the mountain and sold them for some money. That's why I bought three pieces of cloth and three pieces of meat to give to everyone.”

Xia Li said as he stuffed the three extra pieces of cloth and three pieces of meat into the hands of the Zhao Clan, Madam Zhou and Madam Qian respectively.

”This?” ”Good granddaughter, why did you send something to grandma again? I still have the cloth and pastries that you sent last time, and furthermore, you still need to pay your debt, so stop thinking about buying things for us!”

Mrs Zhao held onto the cloth and meat, feeling a burst of shame in her heart. She didn't give her daughter any substantial help from the family, but instead kept taking other people's things. She didn't even know where to put her old face.

Grandma, my mother, brother and I have been in Li Village for two days already. It's all thanks to you leaving us behind so that Xia Li can peacefully find a job to earn money.

Xia Li advised Mrs Zhao. She sincerely wanted to repay this Mrs Zhao.

In just a few short days, you bought meat and cloth, you earn even more than when we were working in the fields. Even Aunt did not properly ask you, what are you doing now?

Madam Qian looked at the items that Xia Li had bought on the ground in envy, wishing that he could bring all the items back home.

”I was learning medicine from a doctor in the town and would often pick some herbs to sell for money.”

Xia Li thought about it for a moment and said a reason that everyone could understand.

”Ah, then our niece is really promising. She'll be a doctor in the future. What a good thing!”

Madam Qian praised Xia Li's capabilities.

”Second aunt, you're too kind, Xia Li was just lucky, after all, he was still in debt to our family, how can we not work hard to earn money?”
