Chapter 46
46 She Cared About Him?
“Then I won’t have any ideas about that tiger bone. But Sister, you have to let me have a share of the reishi mushroom you mentioned! When I start high school, your status will naturally become better and you will marry a better man! So Sister, help me!” Li Zhan thought for a moment and decided not to provoke Luo Cheng.
“How can I help you? I can’t even find the reishi mushroom myself!” Li Yan was furious when she heard this.
“Sister, how are you so sure that there must be reishi mushroom in the mountains?” Li Zhan asked.
“If it weren’t for Li Shun and Li Xiaoran…” Halfway through her sentence, Li Yan thought of something and quickly changed her words.” I heard Li Shun and Li Xiaoran talking. At that time, the father and daughter were standing at the foot of the mountain while talking. I happened to overhear! ”
When Li Zhan heard that, he immediately thought of something.
“No wonder you’ve been keeping an eye on Li Xiaoran these past few days. So it’s for reishi mushroom! You should have said so earlier! If you had told me this reason earlier, I might have already thought of a way for you! Since Li Shun and Li Xiaoran know about this, why don’t we kidnap them and ask them properly? Then we’ll know!”
Hearing that Li Zhan had such a bad idea, Li Yan didn’t want to bother with him anymore.
No wonder her elder brother, who had studied for so many years in her previous life, didn’t even manage to pa.s.s the county-level examination.
He was dumber than her.
“Do you think it’s easy to kidnap two people? If you think it’s easy, go yourself!”
With that, Li Yan walked down the mountain.
Her hand was injured and she had to rush back to apply medicine.
Li Zhan’s smile faded as he watched his sister walk away. His expression darkened.
“Hmph, even my biological sister dares to show me att.i.tude. I really can’t stay in this family anymore! However, I can’t be rash. I still have to plan carefully. I have to get some money. If I can’t stay here, there will be a place for me elsewhere. When I, Li Zhan, make a name for myself, I will definitely make those people who look down on me look at me in a different light!”
After saying this, Li Zhan seemed to have thought of something and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
Li Xiaoran didn’t know that Li Zhan and Li Yan were both plotting against her.
She, who was cooking noodles for a customer, actually felt cold and shivered.
When Luo Cheng saw this, he turned around and went to take out a coat.
“It’s getting cold. Why didn’t you bring a coat? If it’s cold, you can put it on! You can wear mine first!”
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran didn’t refuse and quickly put on his clothes.
It was unknown if it was because Luo Cheng’s meticulousness, or if Luo Cheng’s clothes carried Luo Cheng’s scent and separated those evil things, but in any case, Li Xiaoran felt warm after putting it on.
After that, Li Xiaoran focused on peeling the noodles and cooking them.
There were more customers on the pipeline today, so the dough was sold out before noon.
“Sister, since business is so good today, do you want to go home and make some more dough to sell?” Li Xiaoqing really liked setting up the stall to earn money now.
Li Xiaoqing felt that it would be a pity if the stall was closed at this time.
“Sister, you won’t be able to earn all the money! If we close the stall earlier today, we can also go back and help Father and Mother do something! Besides, you have to let others drink some meat soup too!” Li Xiaoran smiled and persuaded, “Besides, don’t you want to have a good rest?”
Although Li Xiaoqing was a little unwilling, she still listened to her sister.
Li Xiaoran glanced at the old couple who still hadn’t sold their pheasant eggs and thought for a moment before coming to Luo Cheng’s side.
“Husband, I don’t think we have any more eggs at home. I’m still injured. Why don’t we buy the wild eggs over there! I heard that wild eggs are very nutritious and very nourishing!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he looked at the old couple and nodded.
“Okay, you can close the stall first! I’ll buy it!”
Seeing that Luo Cheng had agreed, Li Xiaoran nodded happily and went to clean up the stall with Li Xiaoqing.
“Sister, if you want to eat wild eggs, let Dad go up the mountain to find them for you! Dad is so good at finding them! Why do you want Brother-in-law to spend money to buy them? That’s not worth it!” Li Xiaoqing asked in confusion.
When Li Xiaoran heard her sister criticizing her, she smiled happily.
“Can’t you tell? Your brother-in-law has been paying attention to that old couple! I think your brother-in-law must have wanted to go over and help them, but he didn’t find any legitimate reason. Didn’t I give him a reason to go buy wild eggs?!”
Li Xiaoqing heard her sister’s words and recalled.
It seemed that her brother-in-law had been looking at the old couple over there many times. So that was what was going on!
Although the sisters’ voices were soft, Luo Cheng could still hear them clearly.
When he heard that Li Xiaoran hadn’ticed his actions, Luo Cheng’s expression softened and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Li Xiaoran seemed to care about him very much. As long as there was a slight change in his mood, she could feel it.
Did she actually care for him in her heart?
With this knowledge, Luo Cheng’s mood improved.
With the reason Li Xiaoran gave, Luo Cheng bought all the wild eggs from the old couple.
The old couple followed Luo Cheng over and carefully picked up the wild eggs and placed them in Li Xiaoran’s basket.
Seeing that there was still some bone soup left in the pot, Li Xiaoran scooped out two bowls.
“Master, Madam, I can’t sell anymore bone soup. I can’t take it back now either. Why don’t you guys help me drink it so it won’t be a waste? Secondly, it can warm you guys up!”
“How can that be?!” The old lady quickly waved her hand and refused.
Li Xiaoran forcefully stuffed it into the old lady’s hand and said with a smile, “It’s just a bowl of bone soup! Just drink it!”
Luo Cheng also placed another bowl of bone soup in the old man’s hand.
“She told you to drink it. Just drink it!”
With Luo Cheng’s words, the old man and woman looked at each other, then picked up the bone soup and drank it.
Although it was bone soup, there was some oil in it.
The old couple hadn’t eaten much meat and oil recently, so they were very satisfied with the bowl of bone soup.
With tears in their eyes, they thanked them profusely.
Li Xiaoran quickly took out the money and handed it to Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment. He only reacted when he saw Li Xiaoran pointing at the two old people. Then, he counted the copper coins and handed them over.
