Chapter 71: Previous Life 1/2

Li Qingzhi regained his thoughts and glanced at his slender arms and legs, sighing inwardly.

He had examined Jin Xiaoye’s body before. Jin Xiaoye had overworked himself in the past few years, leading to some depletion in his body. But now, Li Qingzhi doesn’t have the energy to help Jin Xiaoye with treatment.

However, Jin Xiaoye was still young. With proper rest and nutrition, he would gradually recover.

As for helping Fang Jinniang with her nearsightedness, Li Qingzhi couldn’t do much. Treatment for nearsightedness didn’t require many special abilities, but with his current capabilities, he would still need several attempts to cure her. Moreover, treatment required physical contact.

This was ancient times. Could he even hold Fang Jinniang’s hand? No, he couldn’t!

Fang Jinniang only had nearsightedness, which didn’t pose a life-threatening risk. It could wait.

Actually… instead of thinking about using his abilities to treat Fang Jinniang, he might as well think about how to produce glass and make glasses in the future.

There was no glass in Daqi. He had been penniless before and couldn’t produce glass. But now that he knew Zhu Qian, couldn’t he ask Zhu Qian to find someone and try to make glass?

Of course, not now. He had to wait a bit longer.

Zhu Qian had just taken over as the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Guo County Magistrate hadn’t completely consolidated his power yet. The timing wasn’t right.

Li Qingzhi walked towards Li Damao and Li Ermao, hugging the two children tightly.

His sons were really adorable!

He must protect them well!

Li Damao and Li Ermao were momentarily stunned by the sudden “attack,” then they went to hug Li Qingzhi.

They loved being close to Li Qingzhi!

Nowadays, which child in the village doesn’t envy them for having such a good father?

Yao Xiaobao from next door was playing with them, looking envious.

Yao Xiaobao was actually his nickname; Yao Zhenfu had given this son a very nice formal name, but everyone was used to calling him by his nickname, so no one used the formal name.

“Let’s take little Bao with us to play,” Li Qingzhi said after hugging Li Damao and Li Ermao.

Li Damao and Li Ermao took Yao Xiaobao to play, while Zhao Xiaodou watched them from the side.

Yao Xiaobao was usually closely watched by Jin Moli and rarely played with Li Damao and Li Ermao. Today, since Jin Moli had gone back to her mother’s home, he came over to play at Li’s house.

Although Jin Moli and Yao Zhenfu didn’t like the Li family, he actually quite liked it.

Upon returning home, Li Qingzhi saw Jin Xiaoshu sitting there, lost in thought.

“Let’s go,” Li Qingzhi said.

“Where to?” Jin Xiaoshu asked.

“To your house,” Li Qingzhi replied.

The two walked towards the Jin family.

Meanwhile, at the Jin family’s house…

The Jin family was quite lively today. Two relatives had brought their daughters to the door, hoping to arrange a marriage with Jin Xiaoshu.

Jin Xiaoshu was considered a decent young man in the Miaoqian Village, and now news has spread that Jin Xiaoye is earning ten taels of silver a month…

Unless one had the ability to marry their daughter off to the city, Jin Xiaoshu was already the best choice among ordinary families in the village.

The two relatives who came to the Jin family were a sister of Grandma Jin, who brought her granddaughter, and another was an aunt of Uncle Jin, who brought her daughter.

Initially, these two families had some reservations. Mainly because Jin Xiaoshu listened to Jin Xiaoye a lot, and since Jin Xiaoye wasn’t doing well, they feared Jin Xiaoshu might have to continuously support him in the future.

Before, when Jin Xiaoshu went to support the boat, in their eyes, he was just doing unpaid labor for Jin Xiaoye.

But if Jin Xiaoye could earn ten taels a month… Jin Xiaoshu definitely wasn’t doing unpaid labor by supporting the boat!

Jin Xiaoshu indeed treated Jin Xiaoye well, but Jin Xiaoye also loved his younger brother very much. Now that Jin Xiaoye had money, he was willing to support Li Qingzhi to study. Why wouldn’t she help Jin Xiaoshu?

They had just received the news yesterday, and today these two families had both come over.

In addition, Jin Moli had also returned from her mother’s house after learning that her mother wanted to marry her cousin to Jin Xiaoshu.

She also wanted to marry her cousin to Jin Xiaoshu.

In her past life, Jin Xiaoshu’s business was doing well, very wealthy, making her three brothers seem worthless.

If her cousin could marry Jin Xiaoshu, their future would definitely be good, and they could also benefit.

In her memory, after Jin Xiaoshu became rich, he took his father to live in the city and gave their family’s land to them for free. Besides that, he didn’t give them anything else! But if Jin Xiaoshu married her cousin, he would surely help her brothers a bit, right?

Mainly because, in her past life, Jin Xiaoshu’s relationship with his wife wasn’t good.

In her past life, around this time, the Yao family… or rather, Jin Xiaoye, had already started doing business.
