Sun Chun swept a glance at Xia Li in front of him, and intentionally replied back with a question.

"Then we'll wait to be kicked out!"

Xia Li straightened his face and said sternly.

Then, ignoring him, she busied herself with putting away the purchased salt and cheese and vegetables in the kitchen. She found a few towels from the house, found a bucket and brought it to the well, got a bucket of water, scrubbed the kitchen and several rooms of the main house, and scrubbed the tables and chairs and the windowsills.

Afterwards, Xia Li went back to the kitchen to cook. Luckily, Li Yushan had good intentions and didn't take away the firewood that was left behind in the kitchen. He used up all the tools in the kitchen and it was obvious that they lived here many times.

"Little Shuang, help me heat up the fire so that I can wash the plates and chopsticks that have not been touched."

Xia Li instructed Li Xiaoshuang, who had always peeked outside.

"Sure, Cousin."

After receiving Li Xiaoshuang's response, Xia Li got another bucket of water. He washed the vegetables and busied himself with picking vegetables, but Li Xiaoshuang seemed to not have much time to do anything.

Just as she was in a mess, Sun Chun walked in. He was so shocked that Li Xiaoshuang, who was at her side, wanted to come in again, but was pushed out by Sun Chun.

"You are injured, I'll do it myself!"

As Xia Li said this, he also wanted to kick Sun Chun out, but he stopped him.

"It's still not difficult for me with such a small matter."

After Sun Chun finished speaking, he no longer paid any attention to Xia Li, he lowered his head, and used one hand to cover his wounds, while the other hand to place the firewood into the furnace. Xia Li immediately picked up the flint that was placed on the stove, and lit the firewood, and the two of them worked together to make the fire in the furnace.

Xia Li warned Sun Chun, "You just need to sit properly and add firewood inside.

Sun Chun carefully swept a glance at Xia Li, but did not reply, and only held his abdomen in silence, sending pieces of dried wood into the furnace, where the flames interweaved and crackled. In the midst of the red flames, the man's forehead was covered with sweat, and his wheat colored face was also roasted red, his lips tightly pursed, as though he was trying his best to endure something.

The water in the pot quickly boiled, Xia Li's hands and feet kept washing the dishes and washing the pots. She kept washing the dishes until they were shining, then changed the water again and washed the dishes clean.

"Crap, I forgot to buy steamed buns in town. I can only eat rice tonight."

As Xia Li spoke, he looked towards Sun Chun, only to see that he had been focused on adding firewood to the wood in the furnace, as if he did not pay attention to her.

Xia Li felt defeated facing Sun Chun, how can he be so detestable?

She shook her head as she stole glances at Sun Chun from time to time, but still couldn't get any response from him.

Xia Li shook her head, she did not mind at all. She washed the wok again, added water, put in more rice, and cooked the fried vegetables together with the rice. She was still worried about Sun Chun's body, and walked to the side of the stove, saying this to him.

"As for the rest, I'll do it myself. The chairs have all been taken away by First Uncle, and the things in the room have all been moved away. Fortunately, there's a bed. I'll spread the quilt and help you lie down to rest."

Xia Li said as he extended his hand out towards Sun Chun.

Sun Chun did not hold back, she grabbed her wrist, holding onto the stove with one hand, she clenched her teeth and stood up, with half of her body leaning on Xia Li, she pushed her body a few steps back.

"I can walk by myself."

Seeing Xia Li's weak and frail body, Sun Chun supported her and walked towards the exit of the kitchen. Before she had taken a few steps, Xia Li had already grabbed onto her arm.

"At this time, your body is injured, so don't try to be brave."

As Xia Li spoke, he firmly grabbed onto Sun Chun's arm. Without even looking at his cold face, he supported him out of the kitchen.

Seeing them, Li Xiaoshuang immediately went forward to welcome them: "Big brother Pure, I know your name, it was aunt who told me your name, where are you going, I'll support you!"

Xia Li took the initiative to call out to Li Xiaoshuang, "Little Shuang, go and help the kitchen heat the pot up for a while. The pot is still cooking."

"But I want to stay with brother Chun. Cousin, you can't be thinking of snatching brother Chun from me, right?"

Li Xiaoshuang said, and immediately pulled Sun Chun's other arm, with the urge to snatch it from her.

"Let go."

Sun Chun looked at Li Xiaoshuang expressionlessly, his eyes cold and hard. His voice was low and straightforward as he stared at Li Xiaoshuang.

Li Xiaoshuang wanted to argue with Xia Li, but when she saw the disgust on Sun Chun's face, she didn't dare act rashly.

Reluctantly releasing his sleeve, she gloomily returned to the kitchen. Staring at the stove, she used a poker to blow out a cluster of sparks.

Xia Li swept his eyes across Li Xiaoshuang, and when he turned back again, Sun Chun had already struggled free from her body, and was walking a small distance away.

Xia Li quickly caught up to Sun Chun, and as soon as the two of them entered the house, they saw Li Yuping and Madam Qian bustling about.

In the courtyard, there was a kitchen and a hall, the remaining three rooms were just enough for Lee's's mother and son, Xia Li and Sun Chun to stay in.
