Chapter 168 You Supporting Me Is the Most Profitable Investment

Liu Siyu suddenly woke up and slapped Lai Xi's restless hand away.

In a panic, he quickly stepped out of Xi's arms, and when he raised his eyes, he met Xi's lustful eyes.

My heart skipped a beat and I lowered my head in panic.

Liu Siyu's reaction made Lai Xi pause for a moment. He tried his best to calm down in shame, but the desire in his heart made him unable to help but pounce on Liu Siyu again.

"Siyu, I..."

Liu Siyu was hugged tightly by Lai Xi, his strong hands stroking her waist and his head buried in her neck.

The hot breath sprayed on Liu Siyu's ears, and she felt her breathing stagnate.

Her body gradually became limp, and Lai Xi seemed to sense her changes. His movements became increasingly rough and presumptuous.

Liu Siyu's heart tightened, "Don't do this," the slightly angry tone sounded a bit confusing to Lai Xi.

His fingers traced from the waist to the collar.

Liu Siyu hurriedly grabbed Lai Xi's hand and said, "Don't do this, let me go..."

As he said this, he pushed suddenly, and the distance between them widened a little.

Lai Xi's cheeks flushed, and the blazing fire made him unable to control himself. When he was about to get closer again, he was slapped by Liu Siyu.

"You bastard……"

Lai Xi was sobered up by the slap in the face. He felt extremely ashamed when he thought about his previous outrage.

I hurriedly got out of bed, ran out of the room and took a few deep breaths of cold air. Only then did I feel a little better.

Liu Siyu slapped Lai Xi in the face, and all the anger in her heart disappeared.

If you think about it carefully, if you can only live in this era, it is not impossible for Lai Xi to find someone to spend your life with.

After two months of getting along, her trust in Lai Xi has increased little by little, and her favorable impression of him has also increased.

Although she can't say that she loves him very much, she definitely likes him a lot. The two of them have a good understanding of each other, and she also likes the atmosphere of this family.

Running a small business with your family, a simple and ordinary life may be the most real.

But she didn't want to give herself up now. First, their relationship had not reached that stage yet, and second, she was still young.

She wanted to wait a little longer, at least until the one-year contract was up before making a decision.

I thought for a long time, until sleepiness swept over my whole body, but Lai Xi still didn't come in.

Liu Siyu thought Lai Xi was staying in the next room, so she didn't take it to heart.

It was not until dawn that Lai Xi's sneeze woke Liu Siyu up.

When Liu Siyu got up, she found Lai Xi sitting at the door. She walked up to him and patted his shoulder in confusion.

"Why are you sitting at the door?"

Lai Xi thought of his impulsiveness last night and there was a hint of regret in his eyes.

"I was wrong yesterday, but I promise you, I won't mess around again in the future."

Liu Siyu felt upset. They were still young and a single man and woman were lying in bed together, so it was inevitable that there would be some sparks. To be honest, Lai Xi couldn't be blamed entirely for this.

"I was also wrong yesterday. We should pay more attention to it next time."

Lai Xi was slightly delighted to see that Liu Siyu no longer blamed him, and his body swayed a little when he stood up.

Liu Siyu hurriedly supported him, and the moment she touched his hand, she found that his hand was hot. She hurriedly touched his forehead and found that Lai Xi actually had a fever.

I couldn't help but blame myself in my heart. How could I not get sick sitting outside all night in such a cold weather?

But he said, "I'll help you go inside and lie down. I'll find a doctor to see you and prescribe some medicine."

Lai Xi shook his head and said, "I'm in good health. There's no need to see a doctor. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Liu Siyu didn't insist anymore.

After breakfast, Lai Xi still felt dizzy, so the job of pulling bricks and tiles was given to the brothers Gu Changming and Jin Shun.

With the addition of Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Zheng to the lunch, the meal became much faster.

There is also news about the butler, Old Man Jin, left behind by Wu Chenyuan.

It was said that Carpenter Tan had already completed the inventory, all the items had been returned to the workshop, the prices had been negotiated, and everything had been recorded in detail in the account.

From today on, everyone working for Carpenter Tan will be provided with three meals a day by the workshop.

The food was completely handed over to Wang, and the daily wage was 60 wen. With Zheng and Wu, only 30 wen was needed to be paid every day, and the kitchen work could basically be done.

For the first time, Wang felt that money was so easy to make. While picking up small fish by the river, she couldn't help whispering in Liu Siyu's ear.

"After your Aunt Zheng and Aunt Wu came, I was not allowed to do much kitchen work. I got thirty cents for free that day, and I feel a little bit proud of myself."

Liu Siyu rolled her eyes at her in annoyance.

"Why are you so useless? When have you ever seen a boss and his employees being the same? Young Master Wu just dumped the two of them and they didn't even meet. When the workshop makes money, they will get the lion's share."

Although Wang said this, she was very happy in her heart.

"How can I be considered the boss? I didn't invest a penny in this kitchen."

"Who said you didn't vote?" Liu Siyu raised her voice.

"Raising me up is also an investment. This is the most correct and profitable investment you have made in your life."

Wang scolded, "What's the point of talking about investment between mother and son? I raised you without ever thinking about returns."

Liu Siyu secretly curled her lips.

"Have you really never thought about the return? Didn't you prepare to sell me for ten taels of silver?"

Wang's heart skipped a beat. "You still hate mother?"

"I don't hold a grudge against you, but I just bring it out every now and then to remind you not to make the same mistake again."

Wang's hands trembled as she scraped the fish scales. "You, you still don't believe that I'm truly repentant?"

Liu Siyu was about to speak when Xiaocao hurried over.

"Second sister-in-law, something bad has happened to Brother Changming."

"What, Gu Changming? What happened to him?"

Liu Siyu's heart tightened. The workshop had just started, so how could something go wrong?

Xiao Cao took two deep breaths and said, "Well, I was just thinking about the bricks and tiles when I saw Brother Changming sitting on a mule cart. His instep was swollen and his clothes were stained with blood."

Liu Siyu quickly threw away the fish in her hand.

"Mom, I'll go take a look."

The moment she saw Gu Changming, Liu Siyu couldn't help but gasp.

The swollen instep was a little purple, and there were several scars on the calf with flesh flying off.

Gu Changming was wiping the blood off his leg with a cloth, and Liu Siyu hurried forward.

"Brother Changming, how did you do this? Did you break any bones?"

Gu Changming forced a smile.

"When we were going downhill, the mule got scared. I was afraid the mule cart would flip over, so I quickly held it down. Unexpectedly, bricks and tiles fell and hit my foot."

"Just move your legs gently and see if you can move them."

Liu Siyu was worried that her bones would be injured. Medical conditions in this era are poor. If the bones were broken, there would be no way to install a steel plate.

Gu Changming is still so young and he doesn’t even have a wife. What will he do for the rest of his life if he becomes disabled?

Gu Changming saw that Liu Siyu's eyes were full of worry, but he comforted her:

"You'll be fine after two days of rest. I tried it on the way and it was just some superficial injuries. It just looked a little scary, but it doesn't hurt that much now."

Liu Siyu saw that Gu Changming spoke calmly, but the dense beads of sweat on his head had already betrayed him.
