Fang Tianya took a look, felt there was nothing wrong, and nodded.

"You're quite cautious, but I don't lie." Jia Penghai said.

Then the steward took out a piece of paper from a locked box and handed it to Shen Li: "This is his indenture. It will belong to you from now on. The silver note I gave is 10,000 taels. The remaining 2,000 taels can be used as collateral. You can take him away."

Shen Li nodded in understanding: "Manager Jia, I'll see you when you pay me back."

"I hope you can pay it back on time, otherwise..."

"No, otherwise I will pay it back." After saying that, Shen Li and Fang Tianya supported the injured man and were about to leave.

But this man suddenly fainted, but his hand had not been released. Shen Li used a lot of strength to pull it out. Then Fang Tianya carried him on his back, and the three of them left Yue Ye Tower.

In the carriage.

"Uncle Fang, don't you think they are afraid that we will run away?" Shen Li asked.

"This Yue Ye Building is not as simple as you think. There aren't many people here on the surface, but they must have hired a lot of thugs, and they have connections in both the black and white worlds. Otherwise, do you think it can be run? If you dare to take its money, you must not want to live a good life in the future. Also, they should also investigate you privately."

Shen Li thought so too. If he didn't have the strength, he would definitely not be able to open a place like this.

She looked at the person who was rescued from the car. It seemed to be a teenager. He didn't look very old, about the same age as her. There were many wounds on his face, and she couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Wu Zhong, see if there is a clinic, preferably the nearest one." Shen Li shouted outside. If this man was not treated, it would be in vain.

"Miss, there is one just ahead."

"Then go quickly."

When they arrived at the door of the clinic, Wu Zhong asked them to open it, and then carried the person into the clinic. Shen Li did not go in, but waited in the car with his eyes closed.

"Girl, why don't you go down and see the person you spent two thousand taels to rescue?" Fang Tianya said.

"No, I'm not a doctor."

Fang Tianya looked at her and smiled as she spoke weakly: "I thought you were really brave. What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Shen Li opened his eyes: "Not really. It's not easy to deal with a man like Jia Penghai, but I'm not afraid. After all, we are not enemies. It just takes some effort. Besides, there is you, Uncle Fang. I just owe so much money. The pressure is huge. If I can't pay it back, I will have to sell myself."

"That's true. The price is a bit high."

At this time, Wu Zhong came back and said, "Miss, the doctor said it was a good thing that we brought the patient here earlier, otherwise he might not be able to be saved."

Shen Li felt that he was a man with vitality and would not die so easily: "Wu Zhong, you stay here and take care of him." Then she said to Fang Tianya: "Uncle Fang, can you drive the car?"

Fang Tianya resigned himself to his fate and got out of the carriage, sat in the front, and drove towards the inn.

The next day, Shen Li slept until almost noon. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Shen Liang standing at her door with a very bad look on his face.

"Awake?" Shen Liang asked coldly.

Shen Li nodded.

Shen Liang walked right past her and entered the house.

Shen Li saw the situation and knew that things were not going well. She turned around and went back to her room and closed the door: "Second brother, I haven't eaten yet."

"Eat? Can you still eat? Why didn't you discuss this with me? Who gave you the courage to mortgage yourself?" Shen Liang's voice was a little loud. While standing outside waiting, he thought about controlling himself and talking nicely, but at this moment, he really couldn't control himself.

"You know? Uncle Fang told you?" Shen Li didn't want to hide it, it was impossible to hide it, but if she said it herself, she could still use some strategy or something, but now she is in a passive position.

"If we don't have money, we can slowly find a way. There's no need to be so extreme. If we really miss this piece of land, we can just look for another one. There's no need to get ourselves involved. Ali, I always thought you were sensible, but this time you were too impulsive." Shen Liang didn't want to educate her afterwards, but when he thought about the consequences of not being able to pay it back, it would be disastrous.

Shen Li knew that he was doing this for his own good, so he said carefully: "Second brother, don't be angry, listen to me slowly, I know this is a bit risky, but I have calculated that if I work hard, it is still feasible. I will not joke with myself, and I really think that piece of land is particularly suitable, I don't want to miss it, and the construction of the workshop also needs to start as soon as possible."

"Ah! Ali, I know, but if we can't pay it back, what do you want us to do? Have you ever thought about mother?"

"Brother, I know I was wrong. Don't tell mom yet. We can just pay the money back quietly and everything will be fine."

Shen Liang saw her expression and knew that she was not really admitting her fault, but since things were already like this, it was useless to admit whether she was right or wrong. He should make money as soon as possible. "Don't do such things without telling me in the future. Otherwise, do you think I will care about you?"

Shen Li climbed up the pole and said with a smile: "I know, I promise I will never hide it from you, second brother again."

"Next, are we going to buy land?"

"Well, we will go buy the land soon. After that, you may have to come and build the workshop."

"Well, it just so happens that I am currently learning about mechanisms with my master, and I am still learning the theory of architecture. If I build a workshop, it will be an opportunity for me to practice."

"Second brother, after learning the theory of architecture, don't you have to put it into practice? You can't practice it with Master Nian, right?" Shen Li thought about it and understood. Most of the mechanisms were small and could be made by hand at Nian Xiucheng's place, but those related to architecture were not something that could be done. A real house had to be built.

Shen Liang looked at her unhappily. He only said a little bit of information, but she hit the nail on the head: "Look at you, you have such a smart head, how come you did such a ridiculous thing."

"Second brother...you haven't answered my question yet." Shen Li acted coquettishly. She was really afraid that Shen Liang would say a few more words to her.

"Let's talk about it later. Anyway, I still have things to learn now. Okay, don't worry about me. Isn't making money the most important thing now?"

At this time, Shen Li heard a knock on the door, and then heard Wu Zhong's voice: "Miss, the doctor said that the patient can be taken away."

Shen Li walked to the door and opened it: "Wu Zhong, you've worked hard. Can the two people I brought back deliver the goods themselves now?"

Wu Zhong felt a little uncomfortable: "Miss, I'm not tired. Just tell me if you need anything. Winter melon and sorghum can already deliver the goods by themselves."
