The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady - Chapter 237
237 All Planning Something
During this period of time, Li Yan also had a scholarly aura to her because Pei Xuanxin had helped tutor those young masters.
As a self-proclaimed scholar, she was already certain that she would go from rags to riches in the future. Therefore, when she returned to visit her parents, she had a look of disdain.
At the same time, Li Wei and Zhang Hong’s eldest daughter, Li Lan, who was already married, returned with her one-year-old grandson and son-in-law, Wu Duan.
After putting down the things, Li Lan frowned when she saw the mess in the Li family’s house.
!!
After handing her son to Wu Duan, Li Lan brought her mother in the room to chat.
“Mom, how did this house become like this? In the past, when I came back, the house was clean. Now, it has really become a mess! Look at the ground in the dam. Is that a place a person can stand on?”
Zhang Hong looked at her daughter and sighed.
“Don’t you realize that I’ve aged a lot? Even my hands have become much rougher.”
Only then did Li Lan notice her mother’s situation.
Compared to the mother in her memory, there was indeed a huge difference!
“Mother, how did you become like this? Can’t Third Aunt do such a simple thing like cleaning the house?”
“You’re far away, so there are some things that I didn’t have the time to tell you! Your third uncle and third aunt were married off by your grandparents and even separated from the family! Now, there’s only your father and uncle in this family! Once your third uncle and the others left, almost all the work in the family fell on me. Look, it’s only been a short while, but I’ve already aged a few years!” Zhang Hong said with red eyes.
Li Lan was stunned by this sudden news. After coming back to her senses, she quickly asked, “What exactly is going on?”
Zhang Hong didn’t hide anything and told her everything that had happened in the past few months.
After Li Lan heard this, it took her a long time to process the news.
She really hadn’t expected so much to happen at home after just a year.
Her cousin Li Xiaoran married a hunter, and her other cousin, Li Yan, actually married a poor scholar.
This wasn’t the end. Zhang Hong emphasized that when Li Xiaoran married Luo Cheng, not only did they set up a noodle stall, but their business was also good enough for them to open a shop by the pipeline.
Zhang Hong grabbed her daughter’s hand as she complained bitterly!
“Your father and I were thinking that since Li Xiaoran and the others don’t want to set up a stall anymore, why don’t they give that noodle stall to us? Your father and I will run the business. It’s just that we haven’t found a chance to ask your third uncle and the others! Your third uncle and the others were probably hurt by the previous situation, so they might not be willing to help us! Tell me, they already have a few shops by the pipeline. Why can’t they give that noodle stall to us? Isn’t this a win-win situation for everyone?”
Li Lan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that Li Xiaoran had actually built a few shops by the official road.
Speaking of which, although Li Lan had a son and finally established herself in the Wu family, they were struggling financially.
Wu Duan had a few older brothers above him and a few younger brothers below, so the entire family lived together and the living situation made her rather uncomfortable.
Therefore, the couple had always wanted to save some money to move out.
Previously, Li Lan and Wu Duan had thought of many ways, but it was useless. Now that they heard that Li Xiaoran had a shop, Li Lan began to plot.
After carefully asking about Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng’s family, Li Lan went out to see her man.
At this moment, Wu Duan was playing with his son on the road in the village. He already looked impatient.
Seeing that Li Lan had finally come out, Wu Duan said with a dark expression, “Look at your family’s house! Is that courtyard a place where people can set their feet? There’s a rench inside and outside the house. Our baby wants to vomit when he smells it!”
Li Lan also knew that her family was indeed unreasonable, but there was no need to fuss over these things now. It was better to talk about important things first.
Li Lan brought her man and child to a quiet place and told them what she had learned from her family.
“Husband, think about it! They’ve built so many shops, so they definitely need someone to take care of them. Instead of letting an outsider take care of them, why don’t you and I take care of them? This way, when we take care of the shops, not only will we have a place to stay, but we can also do a small business outside the shops. Think about it. According to Mother, this shop has a good business and many people come and go. Wouldn’t it be easier for us to do business and earn money?”
When Wu Duan heard this, he was tempted.
“In that case, it’s indeed a good idea!”
“So go to the village later and find out more about that shop. When everything is settled, we’ll go find my cousin!” Li Lan said excitedly.
“I think this matter is still a little difficult! Are you on good terms with your cousin?” Wu Duan asked.
When Li Lan heard her husband’s words, she looked around and lowered her voice. “I’ll go and ask. Little Ran will definitely agree! You have to know that I saved her life back then! Because I saved her life this time, she should agree!”
When Wu Duan heard that there was such a thing, he immediately laughed.
“Then this matter is considered settled! Why don’t we go and find out now?! After we find out, we can go straight to your cousin’s house to take a look. The earlier we settle this matter, the earlier we can go home and tell our parents!”
Li Lan thought about it, hesitated, then finally nodded.
Hence, the couple carried the child and walked towards the drying field in the village.
However, to Li Yan and Wu Duan’s disappointment, when they went to the Luo family, they heard that Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng weren’t at home but at Third Aunt’s house.
“Why don’t we come back in a few days?! I really can’t stay in your family anymore! Wife, even if you don’t think for me, you have to think for Bao’er!” Wu Duan said unhappily.
Li Lan hesitated, then finally nodded and went home alone to say goodbye.
Li Yan also came in high spirits and left in low spirits. She wanted to see Li Xiaoran make a fool of herself, but there was no news at all.
Could it be that Luo Cheng wasn’t seriously injured in this life?
At the thought of this possibility, Li Yan rubbed the handkerchief in her hand until it was wrinkled!
She really didn’t believe that Li Xiaoran could always be so lucky!
