Chapter 82
82 Regret
Luo Cheng fell silent when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“But I said that what I can give you is my sincere feelings. I’ll do my best to take care of you. I’ll never betray you in my life! So, husband, no matter what kind of person you are, I won’t betray you!” Li Xiaoran said.
“So, no matter what happens in the future, no matter what kind of person you will be, when I encounter something, I won’t be suspicious without reason. I’ll talk to you openly. Luo Cheng, don’t worry. Time will prove everything!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Cheng reached out and hugged Li Xiaoran.
Previously, when he heard Li Xiaoran make such a promise, Luo Cheng didn’t believe her.
However, when he heard Li Xiaoran make such a promise again, Luo Cheng felt his heart beat quickly.
He knew that it wasn’t easy to get someone’s sincerity. It was almost impossible to verify if it was their true feelings either.
But at this moment, he was willing to believe that Li Xiaoran was sincere!
In other words, he was willing to believe everything she said.
The woman in front of him had told him her biggest secret. What else could he not believe?
Holding Li Xiaoran tightly in his arms and sniffing the comforting smell on Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng began to become greedy.
He wanted to keep this woman by his side!
Li Xiaoran felt the desire in Luo Cheng’s heart and suddenly thought of him, who was trapped in the ice cave.
Feeling heartache, Li Xiaoran hugged Luo Cheng.
And just like that, the two of them were hugging each other and snuggling, as if they were fulfilling each other’s regrets…
In the same village, Li Yan was lying in her house with a ferocious expression.
Previously, she had left the village with her parents and gone to town!
She thought she could finally be free from Luo Cheng and start a new life.
Unfortunately, it didn’t last long before she was back in the village.
When she found out that Luo Cheng had forced her father and second uncle to come back and take care of the two old farts, Li Yan really wanted to cut Luo Cheng into pieces to dispel the hatred in her heart.
Unfortunately, she could only think about it and didn’t dare to really attack Luo Cheng.
Before she could calm down, she heard from the villagers that Luo Cheng had bought land by the official road and was preparing to build a shop.
At this moment, Li Yan was extremely jealous!
Why? Why was everything so different!
In her previous life, when she married him, Luo Cheng treated her coldly and didn’t care about her.
But when it came to Li Xiaoran, everything was different!
Not only did Luo Cheng set up a noodle stall for Li Xiaoran, but he also built a shop for her. What right did Li Xiaoran have to have such a good life wherever she went?
The jealousy in her heart threatened to devour Li Yan’s rationality. She seemed to have returned to the time when she saw Li Xiaoran’s happy life in her previous life.
“Li Xiaoran, just you wait! I don’t believe that your luck is that good or that you’ll be lucky everywhere you go! You’re doing very well now, but even if you escape living h.e.l.l, sooner or later, you’ll be pushed out by Luo Cheng to block the sword!” Li Yan gritted her teeth and said.
When Sr. Li and Aunt Li saw that their two sons had returned and had even discussed how to take turns taking care of them, they were finally relieved.
However, at the same time that they heaved a sigh of relief, Sr. Li and Aunt Li were a little afraid.
Aunt Li thought of something and said, “Old man, I think we shouldn’t provoke Luo Cheng in the future! I keep feeling that this kid is very creepy!”
Sr. Li looked at his wife and nodded. “I’ve long felt that this junior isn’t to be trifled with! It’s just that I needed the tiger bone at that time, and Li Yan was unwilling to marry him, so I could only think of a way to get someone to marry him! Fortunately, I married off our third son and the others. We can stop interacting with them in the future!”
“It’s just a pity! If they were here, our lives would have been so good! Look at our eldest son’s wife and second son’s wife. All of them are lazy!” At this point, Aunt Li suddenly thought of something. “I think we should ask our eldest son and second son for some money! Our sons are unreliable, so we can only rely on money!”
Sr. Li thought of something and said unhappily, “Are you sure you can keep your money? Don’t forget that you don’t have any money left. Don’t you know who took the money?”
When Aunt Li heard her old man bring up the past, her expression immediately turned ugly.
“Do you think I want this to happen? It’s difficult to guard against thieves in the family! Who knew that your eldest grandson would actually steal money in secret! I think the money we’ve spent on Li Zhan all these years were wasted!”
Thinking of this grandson he had high hopes for, Sr. Li sighed.
He had no desire to speak now. He lay alone, thinking.
If he had treated his third son’s family better back then, things would have been different now.
After all, with a capable grandson-in-law like Luo Cheng, he wouldn’t have to worry about needing tiger bones in the future.
At this moment, Sr. Li suddenly realized how stupid he had been. He had only focused on the two tiger bones and not Luo Cheng’s abilities.
If he had been aiming to befriend Luo Cheng from the beginning, would he still have to worry that his two sons were unfilial?
Unfortunately, there was no use for regret!
The next day was still a rainy day.
Therefore, there was no way to set up the stall.
Taking advantage of this free time, Zhao Xiu brought her family to prepare winter quilts and cotton clothes.
Although they had bought some previously, they still had to make some.
Of course, there was no lack of cotton clothes, pants, and shoes.
Watching the family work together, Luo Cheng thought of something.
“I’ll go up the mountain to hunt! I’ll get some pheasants to make a pot of chicken soup for everyone! Everyone has been busy setting up the stall and haven’t had a good rest!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately became interested.
“Can’t I come with you? I haven’t seen anyone else hunt!”
Luo Cheng saw Li Xiaoran’s expectant expression and looked outside. He hesitated for a moment.
“It’s still raining outside. What if you catch a cold if you follow me out?”
Li Xiaoran looked outside and remembered that it was still raining.
“Since it’s raining, don’t go out! There’s still a lot of meat at home. Come and eat it later! You don’t have to drink chicken soup to nourish your body. Eating meat will also nourish your body!”
