Chapter 10 People Absolutely Absolutely Have Problems

Chapter 10 There is absolutely something wrong with people

Li Erya didn't force it, and took the Houttuynia cordata to dry in the sun before going into the kitchen to help.

"Mom, you sit down, I'll cook." Shen Qingrou pressed her mother down and took the spoon herself, not forgetting to ask Li Erya to do the work.

Li Erya listened quietly to her words, saying that she didn't care about her family, quietly doing the work she arranged, and quietly looking for work.

Seeing her like this, Shen Qingrou suddenly felt bored and gradually stopped talking.

When the family sat down to eat together, the three women seemed to be in harmony.

After dinner, Li Erya also went to bed and worked more.

Mrs. Shen finally realized that her daughter was no match for Li Erya, so she asked her to avoid causing trouble to Li Erya in the future, so as not to ruin her reputation.

"Mother." Shen Qingrou was still unconvinced.

"Listen to mother." Mrs. Shen said softly. It seemed that she was not destined to enjoy the blessing of a daughter-in-law.

Shen Qingrou was young and energetic, and her mother's words went in one ear and out the other. When Li Erya wasn't paying attention, she threw the Houttuynia cordata far away, and then glanced at her provocatively.

Li Erya met her gaze and subconsciously looked at his own herbs, but there was a trace of Houttuynia cordata missing.

Houttuynia cordata is easy to find. He followed the smell and found it. Li Erya put the Houttuynia cordata outside to dry.

She had just finished her work and the sun happened to be there, so she simply put all the herbs outside.

When she clapped her hands and returned to the yard, she saw Shen Qingrou staring at her angrily. Li Erya smiled slightly and picked up the broom to sweep the floor.

They didn't allow him any free time under their noses. As for working slower, it didn't matter. After Li Erya swept the floor, he found another job catching insects for himself.

"Look at how fat this insect is. It's a pity that we don't have chickens at home." Li Erya caught a big caterpillar and handed it to Shen Qingrou, "How about we raise some chicks?"

"Don't come over here, get away quickly." Shen Qingrou was so frightened by the big caterpillar that her face turned pale.

"Auntie, do you want to raise chickens? I have some at home." Li Baoshan heard Li Erya's words and came over to ask.

"I want to raise it, but unfortunately I don't have the money. Can you go home and ask your father for the medicinal materials?" Li Erya looked at the big caterpillar with regret and gave the insect to Li Baoshan.

Li Baoshan responded and took the big caterpillar without changing his expression. He glanced at Shen Muyin disdainfully, "Is that those? Can I change it for money?"

"Yes, you can do whatever you want." Li Erya said cheerfully.

Li Baoshan only recognized Houttuynia cordata, but when he heard that it could be exchanged for money, he hurried home and told his father about it.

"You've gained a lot of skills after being married for a few days. Okay, okay." Li Zongzheng smiled cheerfully and waved his hand, asking him to quickly grab three chicks and give them to Li Erya. Forget about the medicinal materials, tell him which herbs to pick. That's the business.

Li Baoshan glanced at his mother and saw that although she was a little unhappy, she didn't stop her. He quickly grabbed three chicks and ran down the mountain quickly.

It took a stick of incense to come and go. Li Baoshan was anxious to go home for dinner. He put down the chicken and hurriedly said, "I'll see her again tomorrow" and ran away.

Li Erya didn't expect him to be so quick. Looking at the chirping chick, he turned to look at the Shen family members who were looking at each other, "I can raise it."

Shen Muyin's brows were so furrowed that they could still pinch mosquitoes. This was not a problem with the chickens, it was with people. There was absolutely something wrong with people, yet she took the initiative to find something to do.

This was not like her. He had secretly observed for several days that Li Erya's behavior was not like her in the previous life. Shen Muyin turned around and glanced at his parents. They had not changed, but she had changed.

Shen Nanzhou and his wife looked at each other, and after much hesitation, he acquiesced to her raising chickens. But before he could say anything, he saw that she had chosen the corner farthest away from the school and the main room, and suddenly it seemed that there was nothing more to say.

Shen Muci was quite moved when he saw her skillfully spreading hay with a gentle look on her face.

Although the Shen family was in decline, they still prided themselves on being a scholarly family. They knew very little about farming. When they came to live in a wilderness, there were always some stumbling blocks. Suddenly, they felt that Li Erya's arrival was not a bad thing.

Shen Qingrou wanted to object, but her parents' intentions were already obvious, so she gave up after mumbling.

The arrival of the chicks didn't change anything. Li Erya had an additional task of raising chickens. In addition to that, in his spare time, he taught Li Baoshan how to identify chicken bone grass and agastache.

Li Zongzheng made a living by collecting herbs, and Li Baoshan knew some herbs, and Patchouli was one of them, but he had seen chicken bone grass but never picked it, so he didn't know if it could be exchanged for money.

After listening to what Li Baoshan said, Li Erya was not worried about the sales of chicken bone grass. It was just that the Huang brothers hadn't come yet. If they didn't come, they would have to sell the chicken bone grass by themselves.

It was very inconvenient to work in the Shen family. Li Erya looked at the herbs he had collected with worry. There were not many, but it was quite troublesome to bring them to the city to sell them.

"I'm going back first." Li Baoshan saw Mrs. Shen coming and left immediately.

Mrs. Shen looked at the herbs through the fence, sighed but entered the kitchen without saying anything.

This was not the first time. Even if it was intentional, Li Erya didn't take it seriously. He turned over the medicinal ingredients and went into the kitchen to help.

She caught a fish in the morning and kept it in a broken water tank. When Li Erya saw them cooking, he grabbed the fish and cleaned it quickly.

Shen Qingrou and Mrs. Shen were speechless for a moment when they saw her being so neat. They all thought she caught fish for fun. After all, no one in the Shen family knew how to kill fish.

It seemed like they hadn't eaten fish for a long time. Shen Qingrou looked at Li Erya and asked, "Can you cook fish?"

"Yes, I will make this dish." Li Erya thought for a while and went to get some dragon leaves. The white crucian carp soup with dragon leaves has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs, so it is suitable for Mrs. Shen to drink.

So they had an extra fish soup in the evening. Although the others were puzzled as to why she put leaves in the fish soup, Li Erya drank a bowl and showed it to them.

The fish soup didn't taste bad, and the Shen family hadn't eaten fish for a long time. Shen Nanzhou drank a bowl first and said it was delicious, and the others followed suit.

Li Erya smiled and said nothing. The whole family had some minor problems, and the most serious one at present was Mrs. Shen. In order to make her live longer, she started to think a little bit about her food.

Perhaps after living together for a long time, Mrs. Shen's complexion had not changed much in Shen Muyin's opinion. He eagerly waited for Su Yue's arrival.

Shen Nanzhou didn't know why his son was so anxious. After asking, he learned that he was looking forward to Su Yue's coming, so he comforted him that Su Yue would definitely come.

As soon as Cao Cao was mentioned, Cao Cao arrived. Su Yue came to visit with the expectation of the Shen family. The most excited person was Shen Muyin.

When Su Yue arrived, Shen Nanzhou pulled him into a small chat. It took a long time to find a chance to tell the story about Li Erya and Shen Muyin.

"I made you laugh." Shen Nanzhou said sarcastically.
