Chapter 187
187 Fury
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she was surprised.
From the beginning to the end, Li Xiaoran had always thought that Luo Cheng had no family.
Unexpectedly, one appeared in front of them.
Third Brother? Seventh Brother?
In that case, her husband was actually born into a big family?
At this moment, Li Xiaoran had already imagined a drama.
“Wife, Third Brother came from afar. Go and cook a bowl of noodles for him!” Luo Cheng suddenly called Li Xiaoran and said.
Li Xiaoran came back to her senses and nodded. Then, she asked, “What flavor do you want to eat?”
The young man in embroidered clothes had already seen the sign in the shop, so he said directly, “I want minced meat and knife-cut noodles!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and went to the stove to get busy.
The others also got busy.
“Mother, please clean up the table next door. Third Brother and I will sit there and eat sliced noodles later! It won’t affect the business in the shop!” Luo Cheng stopped Zhao Xiu and said.
Zhao Xiu was stunned. She didn’t expect Luo Cheng to call her mother.
But she caught herself, then smiled and agreed.
“I’ll go now!”
With that, Zhao Xiu pulled Li Xiaoqing to the shop at the side and quickly tidied up the tables and chairs inside.
The other shops had actually been prepared long ago, but they were not used for the time being, so there was nothing placed there.
Previously, the dining table in Luo Cheng’s house was too small for the family to sit together to eat, so they bought a big table.
The small table had been moved directly to the shop and placed in the empty shop.
It just so happened that this table would be useful today.
Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing were very agile. After walking in, they opened the window to get some air. Then, they cleaned the tables and chairs with a cloth.
Before long, the shop was tidied up.
Luo Cheng brought the man in embroidered clothes and his guard over and sat down.
After watching Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing leave, Luo Cheng took a sip of water from the bowl in front of him to moisten his throat. Then, he went straight to the point and said, “Third Brother, you probably didn’t come here just to see me!”
When Ling Heng heard Luo Cheng’s words, he immediately sighed.
“Can’t I just come and see how you’re doing?”
When Luo Cheng heard Ling Heng’s words, he immediately laughed.
“In that case, you can see that I’m doing well now. Leave after eating the sliced noodles! Don’t disturb my peaceful life!”
When Ling Heng heard Luo Cheng’s words, he immediately frowned.
“Seventh Brother, how did you become like this?! Do you really want to be a hunter, a farmer, or even a businessman?”
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that! On the contrary, I think I’m very happy living like this. I’m far away from those scheming people. I’m just living a simple life!” Luo Cheng said indifferently.
“Seventh Brother! Is what you’ve learned all your life for nothing? Shouldn’t you use your skills to benefit the people?” Ling Heng couldn’t help but reprimand.
“Third Brother, you’re still the same! I haven’t seen you in a few years, but you haven’t changed at all! So what if I’m wasting my time? I’m willing! I’m not interested in benefiting the people!” Luo Cheng snorted and replied.
“You! Seventh Brother, have you been brainwashed by these country b.u.mpkins? You’re actually so unambitious! I can tell at a glance that your wife is a country b.u.mpkin. She’s very vulgar. It’s simply an insult to culture to marry such a person!” Ling Heng scolded loudly.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he was immediately furious. He looked at his third brother and narrowed his eyes.
Just as Luo Cheng was about to say something, Li Xiaoran walked in with a knife-cut noodles.
“It seems that you don’t like me as your sister-in-law, nor do you like my shabby food!” Li Xiaoran walked over and placed the bowl of sliced noodles on the table heavily.
“Then I’d rather feed this bowl of noodles to the dogs than let you eat it! Who do you think you are? How dare you act so sn.o.bby in my territory?!” With that, Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng. “Husband, watch out. Don’t let half of this bowl of sliced noodles fall into his mouth!”
“You! Look at you. You’re vulgar and have no manners at all!” Ling Heng pointed at Li Xiaoran and said disdainfully.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran picked up the bamboo brush on the ground and hit Ling Heng’s finger.
Seeing this, the guard beside Ling Heng immediately wanted to attack Li Xiaoran, but he was stopped by Luo Cheng.
“How dare you hurt my wife!” With that, Luo Cheng’s internal energy surged out and rushed towards Gao Jian’s right hand.
Gao Jian’s right hand went numb and he lost his strength. Then, Luo Cheng shook him off. He stumbled and fell outside the door.
On the other side, Li Xiaoran also hit Ling Heng’s finger with a bamboo brush and retorted.
“You keep saying that I’m a country b.u.mpkin, but why don’t you reflect on how rude your behavior is? To think that you’re a scholar. You don’t even have the most basic etiquette and shame. You actually need me, a countryside woman, to teach you!”
“Let me ask you, is it the behavior of a gentleman to badmouth others behind their backs? You don’t understand my character and temperament at all, but you labeled me as a countryside woman. What have you learned in school? If all officials judge people by their appearance and believe in only what they hear, how can they be fair and honest? If you can’t even do this, what right do you have to say that you can benefit the people? Aren’t you thick-skinned and evil-hearted?”
“Also, you keep saying that you want to benefit the common people, but have you forgotten that I’m also one of the common people? Since you want to benefit us, why do you still look down on us? Could it be that your words about benefiting the common people are just empty words and you’re just pretending?”
She didn’t stop talking. When she saw that Ling Heng was speechless, Li Xiaoran’s anger dissipated a little.
“Today, I, a countryside woman, will give you a piece of advice! Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat! Don’t underestimate a countryside woman like me. Perhaps there will be a day when a young master like you will beg me! Let’s wait and see!”
With that, Li Xiaoran turned around and left proudly.
When she reached the door, Li Xiaoran turned around and glanced at Luo Cheng.
“Husband, remember, my noodles are to be fed to dogs! You have to watch carefully. Don’t let anyone steal them!”
