Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of the Villain Who Dotes on His Daughter

23

The next morning, after Li Xiao finished cooking, he rode his bike to the city hospital.

　It was already 11:30 in the morning when they came back. Jiang Rou asked about the situation and heard Li Xiao say that the man was still unconscious and had multiple fractures on his body, especially on his right hand. He might not be able to slaughter pigs in the future.

　Jiang Rou frowned and said, "It's good to be alive."

　Li Xiao couldn't deny it.

　Since Uncle Wang was in trouble, the cooperation between the two families was also cut off. Li Xiao estimated that he would have to stay in the hospital for at least a month. This month of not being able to earn money might not have a big impact on the Wang family, but it was still too much for their small family, and the Chinese New Year would be coming in two months.

　Thinking of this, Li Xiao went out for a trip the next day at noon.

　He went straight to the vegetable market. Zhou Jian usually set up a stall on the roadside at the back door of the vegetable market. Li Xiao knew him because he came to the vegetable market every morning to buy vegetables. He could occasionally meet him.

　However, since there is no rent for setting up a stall on the roadside behind the back door, the daily turnover is quite high. Li Xiao searched for a long time today before he found Zhou Jian in a corner.

　It seems that he didn't get a good seat today.

　When Li Xiao approached, Zhou Jian was chatting and laughing with an old lady, and was cleaning a big grass carp skillfully in his hands. "Don't worry, the fish in my house are the freshest. They were all caught from the river in the countryside last night. I guarantee they are delicious. Alas, I'm not saying that people are getting lazier nowadays. Many fish sellers feed their fish with feed. How can people eat that? It's fishy and greasy..."

　Seeing Li Xiao coming over, he immediately quickened his movements, ripped off the fish gills and gallbladder in one go, then took a bundle of straw and handed it to the aunt, saying sweetly: "Sister, it's delicious, come again next time."

　The aunt felt very happy when she was called "sister". "Come on, you must choose a good seat next time."

　"Of course I have to come early for your sake."

　The aunt was coaxed into smiling.

　Li Xiao was speechless watching from the side. After the people left, Zhou Jian washed his hands with water from the bucket beside him and said happily, "Brother, why are you here?"

　Then he asked, "Do you want fish? There are two crucian carps in the bucket. You can take them home for your sister-in-law to eat."

　Li Xiao glanced at the stall and said directly: "No, I still have two live fish at home. I haven't finished eating the ones you sent. I came to talk to you about something."

　Seeing that there were still a few fish in the bucket, he said, "You sell them first, and then we can go to the restaurant for dinner."

　He came out after making lunch, but he didn't eat it himself. Thinking that it was almost noon, he decided to eat outside with Zhou Jian.

　Zhou Jian was eager to do so. Ever since his sister-in-law got pregnant, his brother hadn't come out to see him for a long time. "Okay, then wait for me for a while. This sells very quickly."

　"Well, I'll go buy some seasonings next door."

　Li Xiao turned around and went to a stall not far away, picked and chose and bought several seasonings he needed. After buying them, he glanced at a stall selling women's hair ties nearby and couldn't help but go and have a look.
