Chapter 137 The Queen of the Li Palace 6
At noon when the cooking smoke rose, Zihua pulled up another plate of meat from the bottom of the well last night, and made another plate of stir-fried pork with cucumber and a plate of scallion oil eggs.

The brother and sister were eating, when a faint female voice came from outside the gate, the two stopped chewing the food in their mouths, only then did they hear that someone seemed to be looking for them outside.

Tang Hua took the initiative to put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to open the door. When he saw a woman standing outside the door, he hurriedly backed away without saying hello, and went straight back to the inner room.

In his opinion, whenever a woman comes to their house, that person should be looking for Zihua, not him.

Seeing Tang Hua go away, the woman was stunned, grabbed the small bamboo basket in her hand, followed him silently, and stepped into the back room.

Zihua looked at the woman following Tang Hua with some puzzlement.

Both the woman's siblings didn't recognize her, her face was a little hot, she put the back of her hand on her cheek and introduced herself, "I'm Li Xiaotao, I was rescued by Mr. Tang yesterday, so I wasn't bitten by a poisonous snake. I want to solemnly thank Mr. Tang for saving his life."

Zihua opened her mouth, it turned out to be the woman who was standing there crying yesterday, yesterday she only saw her face three times, and every time she covered her mouth and cried, it can't be blamed that she doesn't remember what she looks like.

Li Xiaotao didn't mind that they didn't recognize her. In her mind, it was because they did good deeds without asking for anything in return, so they didn't remember her face.

She handed the bamboo basket in her hand to Zihua, "Miss Tang, these are eggs laid by my chickens. Mr. Tang is injured now, so he should take good care of his body. Our family can't afford any expensive medicinal materials, so we can only send some. The eggs are gone, please forgive me."

She said this very skillfully, if she didn't answer, she might dislike her for only sending eggs.

Zihua took the egg, "Miss Li, thank you!"

"You're welcome, I should be the one thanking you."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted from the bamboo basket to their dining table, and when she saw the meat and vegetables on the table, she was taken aback for a moment, thinking that they are indeed a rich family, and they eat meat even on holidays, and their village catches wild boars on weekdays , I was reluctant to eat it, so I only bought it in the city.

She looked at the meat and forced herself to look away, "I'm sorry! I didn't expect you to be eating, so I disturbed you...I'm going first."

Zihua nodded, put down the bamboo basket, and sent her out.After closing the door, she turned her head and saw Tang Hua sitting at the dining table as if nothing had happened, she couldn't help shaking her head and sighing.

Such a good girl, why did someone just stand there like a piece of wood, not saying a word for a long time? It was clear that Miss Li kept looking at him when she was leaving, and her face was so red, but he didn't even send her away. Give it to someone.

No wonder he was standing in his late thirties and had not yet married a wife and had children.

Zihua silently sat back to eat, and just finished eating and was about to put the eggs away, there was a knock on the door, which was very scary, as if asking someone to fight.

Tang Hua felt that the knock on the door was unusual, so he stopped Zihua's figure who was about to open the door, and stepped forward to open the door first.

It wasn't the people from the village who knocked on the door, but the three strong men who wanted to take Zihua back yesterday and become the wife of their boss, Yazhai.

They thought that to find the little lady, they would have to knock on at least five doors before they could find her. They didn't expect to find her when they first came to the first house in the village. Their eyes lit up and they called out They are lucky today.

When the three saw Zihua, even if Tang Hua was blocking the door, they dared to ignore him and cross the threshold.

"Little lady, you are still fresh today! Did you think that if you guys left yesterday, you would never come again? Let me tell you the truth! The reason why you guys lost yesterday was because we drank. Today is different. Well, we haven’t had any drinks today and are in great spirits. If you don’t want to get hurt, little lady, just come with us!”

If Tang Hua wasn't present now, Zihua would have thrown the man out before he finished speaking, but today Tang Hua was present, and it was hard for her to show her strength.

So she silently stood behind Tang Hua when the man was talking.

After Tang Hua was demoted, he had no intention of training. He just ate meat these two days, and he was full of energy and had no place to vent. It happened that these three strong men molested his sister face to face today, and it seemed that this was not the first time.

Angry, he raised his hand and turned his head to stretch his muscles, then he started to pick up the broom on the ground, and used the broom instead of the knife to attack the strong man.

Tang Hua is not an ordinary reckless man who can only wield a knife. He is a former general who protects the country and has fought countless times. He is just as childish.

There were a few sounds of wooden sticks hitting the fat, and the three strong men fell to the ground and howled.

After a while knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, please forgive me, you are ignorant and reckless, we will never come to harass that girl again."

In fact, they were not reckless, just ignorant. Seeing Tang Hua's thin figure, they thought he was a bully, ignored his existence, and just wanted to take Zihua away, so that the boss who called them stupid would calm down.

"Hmph, you guys are wise." Tang Hua snorted coldly, as if venting the last bit of anger in his heart, he threw the broom heavily in front of their knees.

Seeing that he had spared them, the three strong men picked up the big knife that fell on the ground and prepared to slip away.

"Who made you go?"

A majestic female voice sounded.

The footsteps of the three strong men stopped, and they turned their heads with bitter faces.

After a stick of incense, the bodies of three strong men were nearly submerged in the water, and they were catching fish in the river with wooden forks.

Zihua wanted to eat fish for a long time, but she didn't want to go to the river to get her clothes wet. Tang Hua was in a bad mood earlier.

I just ran into these three strong men today, and I knew they had rich experience in wild life, and they would definitely be able to catch a few fish for them.

Sitting on the bank, Zihua picked up small red fruits picked from the garden, and while eating, supervised the hard work of the three strong men.

But she said that if they didn't catch ten big fish today, they couldn't let them go back.

"Hurry up and catch them. There are still five more, and less than ten. Don't even think about going back today."

Seeing that the three of them wanted to sit down and rest, Zihua yelled forward.

The two men stiffened their backs, rubbed their shoulders, and searched the vicinity with their harpoons again.

Tang Hua looked at the three people working hard, and felt a sense of relief, even more comfortable than beating them up.

The sky gradually turned dark, and after groping for a long time, the tenth fish still couldn't be found. Thinking of not delaying the meal, Zihua asked them to take the fish home, and asked them to chop enough firewood for the four days. Let them go.

The three strong men were so grateful that they left quickly exhausted.

Not long after they left, Zihua came to the fish bucket, picked out three fish that would not survive tonight, and asked Tang Hua to send them to Cui's, Doctor Dazuo's and Li Xiaotao's next door respectively.

When he came back after delivering the fish, the fried fish, grilled fish and fish soup made by Zihua were already on the table.
