The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady - Chapter 235

235 Avoiding

“What do they want to do?” Li Xiaoran couldn’t guess their goal, so she asked directly, “They definitely don’t want money. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have a strange expression on your face!”

Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“You feel like a worm in my stomach. You always know what I think!”

Li Xiaoran gave Luo Cheng a knowing expression and asked again.

!!
“Stop beating around the bush and tell me what’s going on.”

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to spend the holidays happily? Why don’t we talk about it after the New Year?” Luo Cheng said when he saw Li Xiaoran’s anxious expression.

“No, tell me now! If you don’t tell me now, I won’t be able to spend the holidays happily. I’ll keep thinking about this!” Li Xiaoran said indignantly.

Seeing that Li Xiaoran really wanted to know, Luo Cheng immediately told her.

It turned out that after Li Wei and his wife saw that the life of the third branch had improved after Luo Cheng had married Li Xiaoran, so they were envious.

Li Wei originally wanted to go to town to find a job and bring his wife and children away from the Li family.

Unfortunately, his plan was ruined by Luo Cheng and he was forced to return to the village to take care of the two elders.

However, his eldest brother’s family was really unreasonable. Now, they were always either scheming or slacking off.

If this continued, they would follow in the footsteps of the third branch and be enslaved.

Li Wei was a planner!

Since he couldn’t work in this town, he decided to work on the official road.

If it weren’t for winter, Li Wei would have set up a stall already.

“Then my second uncle has his eyes on our shop?” Li Xiaoran immediately guessed something.

“That’s one of the reasons. Your second uncle is very smart and has made two plans!” Luo Cheng thought of something and said with a smile, “Your second uncle wants to take over the stall you previously set up and use it. Of course, it’s not bad if they can rent one of our shops to do business. They won’t rent it for nothing and will give us money. It’s just that they won’t give it to us until they earn money!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.

“As expected of the Li family! On the surface, they seem better, but it’s all just surface level!”

“That’s right! I don’t know where your second uncle gets the nerve, but he thinks we should give him a favor.” Luo Cheng said sarcastically.

“My father is soft-hearted, so I’m afraid he’ll agree to it!” Xiaoran thought of something and said worriedly.

Seeing Li Xiaoran’s worried look, Luo Cheng reached out and smoothed the frown between her eyebrows. Then, he said softly, “Perhaps Father will be soft-hearted, but he won’t agree to just anything! Wife, if you don’t believe me, let’s watch together! Give Father a chance to prove himself!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was amused.

“Why do I feel that you’re more like Father’s biological child than me?!”

“Aren’t I his biological child now? People say that a son-in-law is half a son. I’ve already called him father and made up for the other half, so I’m naturally his biological son!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

“Husband, I’ve only realized now that sometimes, in terms of shamelessness, I pale in comparison to you!” Li Xiaoran teased.

“There are many things where you’ll suffer if you’re not thick-skinned, so it’s better to be thick-skinned!” Luo Cheng thought of something and said meaningfully, “If I weren’t thick-skinned, how could I have brought my wife’s family safely out of the Li family and married her?”

“Why do I feel that this can’t be done just by being thick-skinned? The key is that my husband was smart enough to grasp the Li family’s weakness and force them to back down step by step.” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said.

“Thank you for your praise! I deserve it!” Luo Cheng accepted Li Xiaoran’s praise calmly.

Li Xiaoran was really at her wit’s end regarding her shameless husband!

Just as the couple was chatting and laughing, Li Shun, who was going to the village, was stopped by his second brother, Li Wei.

“Third Brother, your life is getting better and better. Why didn’t you think of visiting Father and Mother? After all, Father and Mother have raised you for so many years. You should go back and visit!” Li Wei persuaded with a hypocritical look.

Li Shun looked at his second brother. He was the same as he remembered.

No, he had changed! At least, the way he looked at him had changed!

In the past, his second brother never envied him. He only looked down on him.

Now, Li Shun saw envy and jealousy in his second brother’s eyes.

At this moment, Li Shun was very clear-headed. He was so clear-headed that he saw through Li Wei’s intentions at a glance.

“You’re talking about filial piety with me at this time? Father and Mother’s kindness to me has already been more than half offset when Father married our family off. The remaining half was repaid when we left! Why? Are they regretting it now? However, everything has already been stamped! If you can’t remember them clearly, I can help you recall them!” Li Shun said coldly.

Li Wei was shocked when he heard Li Shun’s words.

Not only had Li Shun’s appearance changed, but even his personality had changed so much.

In the past, his third brother would always work with a bitter expression. He wasn’t as eloquent and coherent as he was now!

“Second Brother, do you think I’ve changed a lot?! Actually, there’s no need to be surprised. If your family had been married off and you didn’t get a single cent when you left the family, you’ll become like me! Second Brother, I’ll treat what happened in the past as the past and write it off. But if you still want to hang around in front of me, don’t blame my son-in-law for dealing with you!” Li Shun left after saying this, leaving Li Wei standing there in a daze.

On Zhao Xiu’s side, she was about to go talk to He Hui when she was stopped by Zhang Hong.

Zhao Xiu ignored Zhang Hong, but Zhang Hong chased after her.

“Third Sister-in-law, are you looking down on me because your family is doing well? Didn’t you hear me calling you?” Zhang Hong stood in front of Zhao Xiu and said while panting.

“I’m sorry, there are so many people in this village. How would I know that you’re calling me?” Zhao Xiu replied with a fake smile.

“Hey, Third Sister-in-law, you know I’m calling you now, right?!” Zhang Hong said when she heard Zhao Xiu’s words.

“I wonder why you stopped me?”
