章節 32: The Troublesome Guest
編輯: Henyee Translations
Luo Cheng, who was hiding in the dark, witnessed this from beginning to end. His eyes were filled with confusion.
He had seen the tears in the old woman's eyes and Liu Zhongyi secretly putting the silver there.
At this moment, Luo Cheng was filled with doubts.
He, who had never felt kinship since he was young, didn't understand what was happening.
Wasn't it just a simple bowl of noodles? Why did it affect people's emotions so much?
At this moment, Luo Cheng suddenly realized that perhaps this noodle stall wasn't bad either.
He should go along and experience it. He might find something unexpected.
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng walked out of the shadows and went straight to the noodle stall.
Li Xiaoran had just wiped the stove clean when he saw Luo Cheng walking over.] `
"What are you doing here?"
Luo Cheng glanced at Li Xiaoran and said, "I don't have to go hunting today, so I came over to help!"
With that, Luo Cheng looked at Li Shun and Zhao Xiu.
"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, someone has to watch the home. You guys still have to take care of the little chicks and Big Yellow. Leave this to me!"
Li Shun and Zhao Xiu looked at each other and felt that they would indeed be of no help if they stayed here.
With their son-in-law here, there was no need to worry about the safety of their two daughters. They could just go home and do what they could.
To be honest, they were really a little unsure of how to run this noodle stall.
After all, one had to come into contact with all kinds of customers when doing business. If there were one or two, they might be able to entertain them, but the two of them would be at a loss if there were many people.
It couldn't be helped. They only knew how to farm at home in the past, so it was a little difficult for them to suddenly communicate with many people.
"Son-in-law, you're right. I'd better go and do something suitable for me! It just so happens that it's time for us to fertilize the vegetables planted in the vegetable garden!" Li Shun thought about it very clearly. He wouldn't drag his daughter and son-in-law down if he did something he was suitable for, so he agreed with a smile.
The silver in Li Shun's hand was also stuffed into Li Xiaoran's hand. Then, the couple waved and left.
After sending her parents off, Li Xiaoran turned to look at Luo Cheng.
"Why? I think you did it on purpose! You're deliberately preventing my parents from working here!"
Luo Cheng nodded when he met Li Xiaoran's dark eyes.
"You should know your parents' personalities better than me! The Li family has lost a tiger bone, so they might even target your parents. As long as your parents are at home, with Big Yellow protecting them, the Li family won't be able to take advantage of them. But if your parents help you set up a noodle stall here, when the time comes, will you still be able to do business?"
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood Luo Cheng's intentions.
Li Xiaoqing thought of a possibility and pouted. She said angrily, "That's right, Sister, when Little Huzi and I went out to pick firewood, we saw Uncle sneaking around our house! We really have to be on guard! It's not like you don't know Father's personality. He might be persuaded by Uncle and become filial again!"
Li Xiaoran reached out and poked her sister's head. She scolded jokingly, "How can you say that about your father? Don't worry, this will never happen. In the past, we were still living in the Li family's house. Due to filial piety, we had no choice but to compromise. Now that we've already left the Li family's house, I want to see how shameless they are!"
"I'm just telling you what might happen and taking precautions in advance!" Li Xiaoqing knew that she was wrong and quickly stuck out her tongue to explain.
"Alright, I understand! But don't say these words next time! I think Father and Mother have actually changed a lot recently! We can't expect Father and Mother to change their temper all of a sudden. We have to take it slow! So we have to see the good side of Father and Mother and encourage them to become better!" Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
"Got it! Sister, I was wrong!" When Li Xiaoqing heard her sister's words, she seriously reflected on herself and took her sister's words to heart.
At this moment, three more carriages arrived.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran.
"Do you have any more of that?"
Seeing that Luo Cheng was asking about masks, Li Xiaoran nodded and took one out of her pocket.
After Luo Cheng took it, he put on his mask and stood behind Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoqing washed the bowls and chopsticks she had used earlier and wiped the table clean. Then, she looked expectantly at the three carriages coming from afar.
To the disappointment of the three of them, the carriage didn't stop. Instead, it moved forward.
"Sigh, I thought there would be a lot of customers today!" Li Xiaoqing said in disappointment.
Li Xiaoran wasn't discouraged. She was very confident in setting up a stall on this road.
After all, there were many people coming and going on this road.
"Don't worry, there will be guests!" Li Xiaoran said calmly.
After putting on the mask, Luo Cheng stood behind Li Xiaoran like a guard and didn't say a word.
Li Xiaoran didn't mind and continued to wait patiently.
As expected, not long after, a few horses galloped over from the other side.
The rider noticed the noodle stand on the side of the road and slowed, then stopped when he reached it.
When these people saw that Li Xiaoran and the others were wearing cloth masks and only revealed their eyes, they immediately frowned.
"Why are you covering your faces when selling your noodles?"
As soon as Li Xiaoran heard the other party ask this question, he explained again.
"We sell noodles. The reason we brought this mask is to prevent us from salivating into the pot or bowl while we talk."
The other party glanced at Li Xiaoran and sized up Luo Cheng, who was behind Li Xiaoran. After confirming that they were not any danger, he dismounted and tied the horse to a tree trunk.
"Perfect, we're a little hungry too! Cook us five bowls of noodles!" the man who had asked the question said directly.
"Do you want plain noodles or noodles with minced meat? It costs three copper coins for plain noodles and five copper coins for minced meat noodles!" Li Xiaoran asked.
The five of them looked at each other. Suddenly, a boy who looked slightly younger said, "Since you sell noodles, why don't you arrange it for us?!"
The other four froze at those words.
The man who had spoken earlier glared at the kid.
"Little Six, have you forgotten what I told you previously? When you're outside, you have to be kind to others. Why can't you help but look for trouble even when you're ordering a bowl of noodles?"
