Jia Dongxu kept complaining about the family's financial difficulties. Among the Jia family, only Dongxu had a city hukou, while the rest lived in the countryside, and one person had to support the whole family. Even though Jia Zhang was sentenced to one and a half years in prison and Xiaogun'er was sentenced to three months, there were still three non-adult members in the family, including Qin Huairu, who was pregnant.

During her pregnancy, Qin Huairu really needed to supplement her nutrition. Yi Zhonghai was not sure whether the father of the child was Dongxu or himself, but considering the relationship he had secretly established with Qin Huairu, he did not want her to starve.

The Jia family could not afford the expensive rice and flour, and Dongxu's salary was not enough. Although Yi Zhonghai earned 99 yuan a month, his position was reduced to a sixth-level fitter, and his salary was reduced to 72.3 yuan, which made it difficult for him to support his family. Despite this, he still could not stand by and do nothing like a stingy person. Therefore, he would instigate Zhuzi to bring lunch boxes to Qin Huairu every day, even though he did not even take into account the feelings of his sister.

After He Yushui left Li Haoyu's house, the two stayed together for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, He Yushui reluctantly returned to the courtyard.

Qin Huairu happened to be returning home after using the toilet. Seeing He Yushui coming back from the backyard with a red face, she couldn't help cursing in her heart: This little girl must have something unclear with Li Haoyu in private. No, if He Yushui marries Li Haoyu in the future, her own interests will be damaged, and she must try to stop it.

She hated Li Haoyu but also understood that he was a powerful person. He was a rich kid with money behind him. With a monthly salary of 35 yuan, he could often go to the countryside for medical treatment and bring back a lot of supplies. As long as he could be the target of money and property, her family's situation would improve.

Seeing He Yushui living a delicious and rich life with Li Haoyu, while she could only eat steamed bread at home, Qin Huairu felt envious and jealous. Why was there such a huge disparity in treatment?

Although he had tried to do the same to Li Haoyu as he did to Zhuzi, his eyes were not on her. She had two cousins, one named Qin Yanru, 17 years old, and the other named Qin Jingru, 15 years old, both of whom were good-looking...

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu planned to take advantage of the situation. She was already nine months pregnant and would soon give birth. After giving birth, she could ask Yanru to come to the city to help take care of the child, and then she could use Yanru to contain Li Haoyu.

When she returned to the house, she saw Jia Dongxu's worried look on his face. Qin Huairu asked with concern, "Dongxu, what's wrong?"

"This month's ration has been lowered again, to just over 10% of the original amount. In the pigeon market, food is getting more and more expensive. If this continues, it will be really hard for the family to make ends meet." If Jia Zhang and Xiao Gun'er hadn't been suffering in prison, the family's situation might have been even more difficult.

Looking back now, Bang Geng and Jia Zhang's imprisonment might not have been a completely bad thing.

In fact, Dongxu hid a lot of money privately. Over the years, he had made a lot of money by stealing materials from the steel mill and selling them. In fact, his salary was not low. He gave Qin Huairu 10 yuan a month for living expenses, 3 yuan to Jia Zhangshi, and kept the remaining 20 yuan for himself. Although he occasionally had the habit of drinking and playing cards, he could always save some money.

He also understood that Yi Zhonghai was suppressing his job level and not letting him upgrade, just to use him to support himself in his old age, so as long as he didn't have to pay for it himself, he would never take the initiative to do it. Anyway, there was still that stupid guy Yu Zhu who prepared lunch boxes for Qin Huairu every day.

"Then, what can we do? Should we ask Mr. Yi for help?" Qin Huairu suggested.

Jia Dongxu nodded: "This is the only option. I will go talk to him later."

After Yi Zhonghai and Yu Zhu finished drinking, they went to the old woman's room to take a rest. On the way home, they saw Jia Dongxu coming to their door.

"Dongxu, what's wrong?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"Master, the food ration has been reduced again. I am the only one in our family who has a ration share. Life will become even more difficult, especially since Huairu is still pregnant." Jia Dongxu said worriedly.

"I will take care of this matter, don't worry. I will arrange a general meeting for the entire hospital tomorrow and call on everyone to donate money and food to you."

In fact, Yi Zhonghai wanted to manipulate Jia Dongxu to support him in this way, but he was unwilling to pay. He planned to take this opportunity to make Li Haoyu bleed heavily.

Li Haoyu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, feeling very uncomfortable.

I almost killed He Yushui just now, but then I changed my mind and decided to wait until He Yushui turns seventeen next month.

But he really couldn't bear it.

Thinking that Xiao Qiao was still there, he instantly jumped into the secret realm of the Immortal Doctor.

Xiao Qiao was soaking in the bathtub. When she saw Li Haoyu appear, she exclaimed. When she saw his real body, she patted her chest gently and said coquettishly, "Brother Mu, you scared me out of my wits."

Facing this scene, Li Haoyu had a smile on his face.

He took off his clothes, jumped into the bathtub, and said with a smile: "It's so hot, I'll go take a bath too."

"Oh, Brother Mu is so bad, wait a minute, let's talk inside."

Three hours passed and Li Haoyu, feeling refreshed, lay on the bed in the villa. He wanted to smoke a cigarette but found that he had no cigarette in his hand and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Brother Mu, I also feel like I can practice now." Qiao, who was hugging Li Haoyu, said with a blush on her face, "Just now I felt some kind of energy starting to flow through my body."

"Huh?" Out of curiosity, Li Haoyu checked her pulse and found that there was indeed energy in Qiao's body, and the route of its flow was just as described in the secret book of the Immortal Doctor, and it had reached the third level of Qi training.

Although Qiao was cultivated from an artificial human embryo, she was no different from humans, with the same structure, and even the plum blossom-like mark left on the bed. This was like opening a new door for Li Haoyu: the cultivation of the two could also be improved simultaneously. At this moment, Li Haoyu's cultivation was unexpectedly improved by one level, becoming the seventh level of meridians (300/8000).

Thinking of this, he smiled to Xiao Qiao and said, "Qiao, let's try to see if we can lift it up a little higher."

"Yeah." Qiao nodded with a red cheek.

Three hours passed again, and Xiao Qiao's cultivation level improved again. Although she had not yet broken through to the eighth level of meridians (6000/8000), she was only two thousand merit points away from crossing that threshold.

Li Haoyu had 5700 points left in his account. He immediately added 2000 points and broke through level eight directly, reaching a new level of zero (9000/9000).

At the same time, Qiao reached the fifth level of Qi cultivation, and the speed of his cultivation was as fast as a rocket launch.

In a blink of an eye, it was already five o'clock in the morning.

After washing up, Li Haoyu went to the kitchen of the villa to prepare breakfast.

He took out mutton and pork, and used his skillful butchering techniques to cut hundreds of pounds of meat into stuffing, added various vegetable ingredients, and started making mutton and pork buns, as well as mutton and pork dumplings, in astonishing quantities.

As soon as the food was ready, Xiao Qiao saw it and started to help.

The reason why Li Haoyu did this was simply because he was tired of starting from scratch every time. If he made a little more, he could store it in the secret warehouse, and it would still be hot and tempting when he took it out.

After all the cooking was done at five o'clock, Li Haoyu took out the goat milk produced by "Secret Farm", added sugar and continued to heat and boil. The goat milk produced in the secret farm is very different from ordinary goat milk. The goats here drink the water of the spiritual spring, which improves their physical fitness. This kind of goat milk not only has no fishy smell, but also exudes a light sweet fragrance, which is very tempting to taste. After stewing a large pot of goat milk, he also used the remaining milk to make a lot of fermented cheese, baked some bread, stewed a large pot of braised pork, and then processed a large amount of vegetables in the same way. As if he was addicted to cooking, Li Haoyu kept busy.

He cooked each dish in large quantities, and once completed he stored them in a secret warehouse for preservation.

He has already completed more than 20 dishes in "The Way to Cut a Beef". In the future, he can just pick one and heat it up to enjoy the food. Seeing this, Xiao Qiao was also attracted by the cooking skills and decided to give it a try.

Xiao Qiao also has to eat on weekdays, and she used to only eat during mealtimes. But now, with Li Haoyu's reminder and in a mysterious secret environment, she can prepare the food directly and store it in the warehouse, and enjoy it whenever she wants.

If the secret realm had not been short on ingredients, and if there were not enough seafood and wild delicacies, Li Haoyu's dishes could have been expanded. Seafood is rare in the market and is mostly frozen, so it is not suitable for growing in the secret realm. River fish can be solved by fishing a few fish and building a special pond in the secret realm to breed them.

Li Haoyu thought that he should enjoy fishing today.

It was not until half past six that Li Haoyu felt the time was just right.

He prepared several mutton buns, pork dumplings, boiled eggs, goat milk and sweet potato porridge, and put the rest into the secret warehouse for safekeeping. He said to Xiao Qiao: "If you don't want to cook by yourself, there are plenty of meals in the secret warehouse."

Li Haoyu returned home instantly and put the food on the dining table.

He Yushui woke up soon and came to visit after washing up.

Li Haoyu opened the door and welcomed He Yushui in. Seeing the breakfast prepared in advance, He Yushui was delighted: "Brother, you got up so early?"

"Well, I made some buns and dumplings with pork and mutton fillings, and sweet potato porridge. By the way, don't forget to drink goat's milk. You need all kinds of nutrients during your growth period, so drink more milk." As he spoke, Li Haoyu looked at He Yushui's delicate little mouth with a smile.

"Oh, you are so bad, brother." He Yushui said shyly with a little coquettishness.

"I'm serious. This goat milk is rich in nutrients. After breakfast, I will give you a simple massage. After a while, you will see a big improvement in your figure." Li Haoyu promised.

Hearing this, He Yushui believed it a little, but no one knew that she was looking forward to that intimate service.

"Well, I know Brother Li Haoyu treats me the best." She quickly kissed him on the cheek and began to enjoy the delicious breakfast. "Well, that's great, you are really amazing, brother, your cooking skills are much better than your brother's."

To be honest, He Yushui's brother did benefit from the inherited Sichuan cuisine and Tan's recipes from his hometown, but Li Haoyu demonstrated his true culinary art advantages and surpassed them all.

"Where are we going to play next?" Li Haoyu asked curiously.

"I'll go wherever you say. I'll follow your arrangements." He Yushui answered obediently.

"Okay, let's go fishing. I'll make some bait to make sure we catch big fish. After fishing, let's go shopping for new clothes. Your clothes look a little old."

He Yushui glanced at her clothes and looked a little embarrassed. She hadn't bought any new clothes for a long time and the last time she went shopping she used her savings.

He Yushui was filled with deep gratitude towards Li Haoyu. To her, Li Haoyu was the best in the world. She even wanted to give herself to him right now. "Eat quickly," Li Haoyu said gently.

"How can we finish all this? I'm full," He Yushui sighed as she looked at the table full of food. "It doesn't matter, let's pack some into lunch boxes and enjoy them after fishing," Li Haoyu suggested with a smile.

"Okay," He Yushui nodded happily.

Li Haoyu prepared several lunch boxes, put dumplings and buns in them, and picked up two bottles, filled them with mutton, and cleverly put them into net bags and hid them in her backpack. In fact, they had entered the secret storage warehouse to maintain the temperature.

Then Li Haoyu took out the herbs from the secret realm, crushed them and mixed them with flour to make dough, and carefully wrapped them with kraft paper. This is a secret recipe from the immortal doctor's secret book, which has a strong attraction to fish.

The two of them went out hand in hand, full of joy. When they arrived at the backyard, Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu were chatting and laughing while washing clothes. Seeing Li Haoyu and He Yushui walking out from the back together, Sha Zhu suddenly became angry.
