Arrival in Another World 042, Financial Path

  One of man's greatest weaknesses is his inability to let himself off, as exemplified by Li Yutang at this moment.

  Due to the entanglement of the rural vagabond Su Liwei, Li Yutang was ridiculed by many people, especially the rich young masters in the city, who were waiting with bated breath for him to make a scene, which made him repeatedly want to kill.

  But now Su Lianwei no longer bothered him, and he was instead curious about the reason.

  Since then, Li Yutang had been keeping an eye on Su Lianwei by stationing a lookout in Suzhuang Village, and the information he received was more astonishing than the last.

  The study was quiet for a moment, the ink was silent and stood still on one side without disturbing the master's thoughts.

  Li Yutang, dressed in a snow-white robe, had a faint expression, his narrow eyes slightly lowered, his eyelashes scattered on his cheeks, and the corners of his mouth neither drooping nor raised, so that no one could guess what he was thinking.

  "It's too dense." He said suddenly.

  "Yes, young master." Mo Nong replied.

  "Has Father recently entertained guests?"

  Li Yutang's sudden question, Mo Nong did not understand, but still replied according to his words, "Replying to Young Master, the old master was not feeling well and did not invite any guests for dinner. This month, he only invited Zhang Yuanwai alone."

  Li Yutang nodded slowly, his thin lips curled up slightly, and a hint of sinister intent flashed in the corner of his eyes, but it was gone in an instant, restoring his usual calm and detached demeanor. "Since Father's health is not good, it's natural to drink less wine. The Su family winery sends wine every five days, four jars at a time, which means 24 jars a month. There must be plenty of wine stored in the cellar. Pass on the message: no more wine from the Su family winery for three months."

  "Yes." Mo Nong replied, turning around to leave.

  "Wait." Li Yutang called him back again.

  "Yes, young master." Mo Nong hurried back.

  Li Yutang's slender white fingers picked up a wolf hair brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write on the paper. As he wrote, he said, "To the Su family, just say that we don't need them to send wine for now, without setting a deadline."

  "Yes, young master."

  "Go ahead." At this time, Li Yutang had already written a letter and put down his pen.

  Mo Hong left, and he finally faintly hooked up the corner of his mouth, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

  He didn't dare to easily cut off the wine from Su's winery, because his own father had an inexplicable affection for Su's wine. Even if he couldn't finish it, he insisted on buying it. By doing so, he was taking the risk of deceiving his own father in order to make things difficult for Su Lianhui.

  Su Lianwei can help people cure diseases, can discipline her brothers, and it seems that nothing in this world is difficult for her. Then he wants to see how she will save the Su family winery.

  "Come on." As he spoke, he folded up the dried paper in his hand and put it into an envelope.

  "Yes." A young servant named Kang came in and stood respectfully to one side, waiting for Second Master's orders.

  "Have this letter delivered to the Tao Mansion in Dongning City by express horse, and hand it over to my uncle, Lord Tao." After writing the address on the envelope, he placed it at one corner of the desk. Kanglai respectfully picked it up and turned around to leave the study.

  Li Yutang's deep and introspective personality had determined his suspicious nature. After all, the Su family winery had been sending wine to the Li family for over a decade, and he had also met with people under his father's command. If his father were to find out that he had privately cut off the Su family's wine supply, it would not be good, so he wrote this letter.

  Li Yutang's uncle, Tao Zeyun, was an official in Dongning City and had a good relationship with Li Fuan, the old master of the Li family. Recently, Li Fuan has been unwell, so most of the work at home has been handed over to Li Yutang. He wrote this letter asking his uncle Tao Zeyun to invite Li Fuan to Dongning for a gathering and also to recuperate.

  In Wangyue County, there is a saying that if the people in the house have been ill for a long time and cannot recover, it is because the house is shrouded in sick energy. One should leave the house to recuperate, and it's best to go to a family that has just finished celebrating a happy event to absorb some of the joyful energy and dispel one's own illness, and the condition will naturally improve.

  Tao's elder brother had just taken a new concubine last month, which was also a happy event, so the Tao estate was naturally a good place to go.

  It's indeed inauspicious and impolite for a patient to go to someone else's home, but if the host proactively invites them, the patient will naturally find it hard to decline.

  Thinking of this, Li Yutang's lips curved deeper, and the evil charm on his pale face was extremely inconsistent with the temperament of a fairy, yet inexplicably attracted people's attention.

  This time, he has cut off all the retreats of the Su family winery. He wants to make the Su family panic and see what clever plan Su Lianhui can come up with to save the Su family winery in this sudden change.

  "Master, the old lady invites you to have dinner in the front yard and says she has cooked your favorite bamboo shoot soup." Cui'er's voice came respectfully from outside the study.

  "En." He replied faintly, Li Yutang slowly got up and walked out of the study.

  Outside the study, four young men and five maidservants were waiting, guarding the door. Seeing the young master come out, they hurried forward to attend to him.

  Today was unusual, the second young master's face was filled with a faint smile, if this were seen by the girls outside the mansion, they would surely be enchanted and lose their souls, but the servants who attended to him personally did not dare to breathe loudly, the young master smiled, it was uncertain who would be unlucky.

  At the same time, another place.

  It's also sunset, the quiet village gradually becomes lively, villagers who have worked in the fields all day return home to cook dinner, and the fragrance of rice is everywhere.

  Ripples home small courtyard corner, initial firefly is looking at Su Bai and Sun Xiao Jin learn words, the whole picture just like a pastoral return to peace painting.

  Lianyi came out of the kitchen and sneezed four times in a row.

  "Lianyi, are you feeling cold? Wear more clothes." Chu Yue said with concern.

  Lianyi furrowed her brow, "No, I still feel a bit warm, not chilled, maybe it's just the smoke from cooking." She rubbed her nose, also somewhat perplexed by this sudden sneeze. "It's getting late, let's stop here for today, Chunxiao worked hard, I'll add some dishes to comfort you later."

  "Great, I love Lianyi's craftsmanship the most." Chu Yue was like a child, hearing that today's class had ended, she jumped and hopped, flying to Lianyi's side like a small butterfly.

  "Ah, it's finally over, I'm exhausted to death." Su Bai spent the entire afternoon with his mind wandering, and whenever he did, he got hit, so he could only grit his teeth and bear it. Whatever Teacher Chu Yun told him to do, he did.

  Compared with Su Bai, Sun Xiao Jin was very serious and practiced writing 50 words in one afternoon. Now she is still working hard to write characters and cherish this hard-won learning opportunity.

  Lianyi invited Su Bai and Sun Xiaojin to dinner, but both declined. The former did not want to be restricted, while the latter did not want to trouble Lianyi again. They picked up their pens and paper and returned home.

  When Da Hu returned, Chu Yue was serving a variety of delicious dishes to the table. The three of them had dinner together like a family. Although there were many conversations at the dinner table, it was usually Chu Yue who chattered on and on, while Da Hu and Lian Yi listened, with Lian Yi occasionally responding with a few words.

  After dinner, Dahu took a clean outfit and went to the mountain to take a cool shower. Chuanyu was pulling Lingling in the courtyard to enjoy the cool evening breeze and chat about family matters.

  Lianyi also likes this kind of life - leisurely and peaceful, and has even fantasized that if she could live such a peaceful life for the rest of her life, it wouldn't be a bad choice.

  But suddenly, a hurried car sound came from outside the hospital, "Is anyone home? Is Lianyi girl there?" It was Old Horse's voice.

  Lián yī hastily walked over to open the courtyard door, "Uncle Mǎ, I'm here. What's going on so late at night?" Hearing Lǎo Mǎ's urgent voice, it must be something big.

  Old Horse suddenly jumped off the donkey cart, "Lian Wei girl, something's gone terribly wrong! The Li family just sent someone to say they won't be buying our winery's wine for now, but didn't give a deadline. Your sister-in-law is causing a scene at home, saying it's because you offended the Li family that the winery's financial road has been cut off, forcing your brother and you to sever ties, or else get divorced. You'd better go take a look!"
