Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space

Chapter 168 Li Zhengde's Counterattack

If County Magistrate Zhu took it seriously, it would be fine once or twice, as he would repay the favor of the chef competition. But if he did it again and again, every now and then, wouldn't he be at a big disadvantage? It would be better to make it clear in advance. He Changan was a smart man, of course he knew what I meant, and Li Mingxia didn't want to hide it from him.

However, what puzzled Li Mingxia was that He Changan was not unhappy after hearing this, but looked very happy instead.

"Mr. County Magistrate is just saying that. It may be okay once or twice, but if it happens all the time, it would be too insignificant. Don't you want to be busy? That doesn't make sense. Don't worry."

Li Mingxia looked at He Changan. What did this mean? Was he telling her not to worry, he would help her solve this problem?

However, Li Mingxia did not ask any more questions. He just agreed and concentrated on driving the car.

He Changan did not remain silent and turned around to talk to Li Zhengde about things in the academy.

After hearing Li Zhengde's tactful expression that the food in the academy was poor, He Changan nodded with a look of approval.

"I totally agree with this. The food in the academy seems to taste the same. No matter how famous it is, the food is like it was made by the same chef. It is extremely unpalatable and really hard to swallow." He Changan seemed to have remembered something, and his face was full of emotion and agreement.

"By the way, Zhengde, have you seen your brother Zhengxue?" Li Mingxia suddenly remembered this and thought of Li Zhengxue in the old house. Wasn't he also in the intermediate class?

Li Zhengde nodded and said, "I saw it. Brother Zhengxue was sitting not far from me, and we talked to each other."

Talked? Li Mingxia was a little surprised. She thought Li Zhengxue and Li Zhengde would always ignore each other, but she didn't expect that they would talk on the first day of school?

"Yes, we talked." Li Zhengde nodded, "Brother Zhengxue came over and said that to me, and we chatted for a few words."

Seeing Li Zhengde say this, Li Mingxia knew that there must be something wrong.

I know my own brother well. He would never hide anything from me deliberately. If he doesn't tell me about this matter, it means that telling me about it will make me unhappy.

"Tell me what Li Zhengxue said. I won't be angry."

After listening to Li Mingxia's words, Li Zhengde looked at his elder sister for a few times, thought for a while before speaking: "Brother Zhengxue seems to think that I can't read, and it was you who paid to send me in, so he told us...say..."

"What did you say?" He Changan was a little curious. Li Zhengxue and Li Zhengde sounded like cousins, so why did he feel that Li Zhengde couldn't read?

"Don't try to be so arrogant. It's useless to send me here even if you spend all your money. After all, I still don't look like a prince even if I put on the dragon robe."

These words were too harsh. Li Mingxia thought he was mentally prepared, but he still underestimated Li Zhengxue.

"How ridiculous!" He Changan frowned and said coldly.

Speaking of his brother like this, not only Li Mingxia, but even he felt uncomfortable. This Li Zhengxue was unworthy of being a scholar! He was unworthy of being a brother.

"What did you say?" Li Mingxia asked.

Li Zhengde paused, "I told him, thank you for your concern."

He Changan frowned even more tightly, but Li Mingxia was not in a hurry and continued to wait for Li Zhengde to continue.

"Although I can't read a few words, fortunately my sister can earn some money at home, so she doesn't have to rely on stealing to make a living. Since my eldest brother can care about me so much, he can naturally care about grandma, uncle and aunt, so we can all rest assured."

Li Mingxia burst into laughter, while Li Zhengde felt a little embarrassed.

"The book says that we shouldn't argue, but what Zhengxue said was really hard to hear, and I couldn't help but talk back."

Li Mingxia laughed while telling He Changan about the incident of her hairpin being stolen. After He Changan realized what was happening, he laughed even happier than Li Mingxia.

"That's how it should be. Although men shouldn't be too rigid, if you can't say a word when someone insults your relatives, then what's the point of living? Zhengde, you're right to do this! That's how it should be!"

After hearing what his elder sister and Lord He said, Li Zhengde finally felt relieved. He had been quite uneasy.

"Next time if he comes to provoke you again, teach him a lesson like you did today. Don't worry about the old house. Your sister is here even if the sky falls!" Li Mingxia gave Li Zhengde a reassurance.

If Li Zhengde is asked to be tolerant in everything, then he won't be able to learn!

After returning home, Zhang had already settled today's wages and completed the weighing work.

"You're back? Master He, you've worked hard. Come in quickly. I've just made some tea. It's just right for drinking now."

Perhaps because they were already acquaintances, Zhang was no longer as reserved as before and it was very natural for them to get along with each other. This made He Changan feel much more comfortable and he even breathed a sigh of relief.

"I came in a hurry today and didn't bring some gifts for my uncle and aunt. It was so rude." He Changan said with some guilt.

When Li Mingxia heard this, he immediately said, "Fortunately you didn't bring anything. If you had brought anything, my mother would not be able to sleep at night and would keep saying that she had treated Lord He unfairly."

She said it wittily and the whole family laughed, creating a very good atmosphere.

It was not until He Changan sat down at the table that he understood what Li Mingxia meant when she said that he would definitely be satisfied with the meal.

He had never seen shrimps that big before. Although he often ate crabs, this was the first time he had seen crabs that were so good, so fat and so big. He didn't know where Li Mingxia got them from.

"These things?..." He Changan glanced at Li Mingxia and asked tentatively.

Li Mingxia seemed not to have heard it. She smiled and told everyone to eat quickly.

"Try this pickled fish soup. It's my best dish. I won't make it for ordinary people." Li Mingxia served He Changan a bowl of soup and smiled calmly.

He Changan understood that Li Mingxia didn't want to talk anymore, so he took the bowl and said, "In that case, I'll eat more."

After drinking the soup, He Changan didn't hesitate and reached for the lobster on the table with his chopsticks.

The huge lobster and the spicy taste gave He Changan's taste buds great satisfaction.

"How is this prepared? Did you add vinegar? Is this the porridge you made during the competition? It looks the same."

He Changan tried this and that, and felt that they were all delicious and he couldn't eat enough of any of them.
