The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady

Chapter 202

202 Such a Family

To be honest, Old Madam Jin was the first person who made Li Xiaoran feel love from an elder.

“Since you like Old Madam Jin, acknowledge her! I think that after this incident, Old Madam Jin will definitely take action!” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and comforted her.

Everything depended on Li Xiaoran’s wishes.

Li Xiaoran liked Old Madam Jin, and Old Madam Jin treated Li Xiaoran well, so Luo Cheng naturally didn’t object.

However, after Old Madam Jin woke up, if she didn’t give an explanation, it was fine if they didn’t acknowledge each other!

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Let’s wait and see! I’m a little conflicted now. Perhaps when I calm down, I’ll know what I want!”

“Alright, think about it. Tell me when you’ve thought it through!” Luo Cheng reached out and touched Li Xiaoran’s head.

Compared to when he first met Li Xiaoran, her hair had changed a lot.

Previously, her hair was dry and frizzy due to malnutrition.

Now, her hair felt very smooth, and it was all black and shiny. There was no sign of yellowing at all.

“Your hair is so nice. What do you wash your hair with?” Luo Cheng asked curiously.

“Soap horn! My mother made it for me. My sister and I were washing our hair with it. After using it, our hair became much better!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said with a smile, “Speaking of which, let’s go and collect some soap horn in the future! We’ve almost used up the soap horn Aunt Hui brought us from before!”

“Since soap horn is so useful, let’s buy more and bring them back. In the future, we’ll buy some every year and let you use soap horn to wash your hair!” Luo Cheng said generously.

“Sure! In the future, not only will my sister and I use it, but everyone in the family will use this soap to wash their hair! Good things have to be shared with the family!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

Compared to the happy Li Xiaoran, Li Yan was very unhappy.

“Father, Mother, are you going to take my silver? You clearly know what it’ll be like after I marry over. Not only are you not preparing a generous dowry for me, but you even want to take my betrothal money. Are you still my parents? Do you treat me as your biological daughter?” Li Yan stared at her parents angrily and asked.

When Li Qiang heard Li Yan’s words, he immediately glared at her.

“This is the betrothal gift. It was given to us by Pei Xuanxin as a form of filial piety. Your mother and I raised you for so many years and spent so much effort to raise you. What’s wrong with taking some of your betrothal gift? Besides, you were the one who wanted to marry Pei Xuanxin. You have to bear whatever life you lead after you marry him. Hmph, if I hadn’t heard your nonsense back then, would I have rejected that rich man?”

“That’s right! Yan’er! You said that you dreamed that Pei Xuanxin would become a high-ranking official in the future, but look, his family is so poor now. Originally, your father and I were discussing if we should cancel the engagement and choose a better one. Who knew that you two wanted to get married in advance? Now that the new year is coming, our family has spent all our money on preparing New Year’s goods. How can we have the time to prepare dowry for you?! Why don’t you let Pei Xuanxin wait a few months before getting married?” As a mother, Wang Ying explained her difficulties.

When Li Yan heard this, she sneered.

“Who did you two rely on to raise me? It was Third Uncle and Third Aunt’s hard work that you two relied on. Not to mention me, all the children of the Li family relied on Third Uncle and Third Aunt. I wonder what you two spent so much effort on?”

Li Qiang and Wang Ying didn’t expect their daughter, whom they had raised for so many years, to dare to speak to them like this.

“Li Yan, don’t think that just because you’re getting married, you can be arrogant and mock your mother and me. No matter how wrong we are, we’re still your parents. Believe it or not, I’ll go find Pei Xuanxin and cancel this marriage now. Let’s see how you’ll get married!” Li Qiang glared at Li Yan a few times and said ruthlessly.

When Li Yan heard this, she felt dejected.

As expected, although she didn’t marry Luo Cheng in this life, she still couldn’t escape the fate of being schemed against by her parents.

It was good. She could take this opportunity to escape them!

When Pei Xuanxin became rich in the future, they could forget about getting any benefits.

“Alright, it’s fine if you don’t give me the betrothal gift. I hope you won’t regret it in the future!” Li Yan returned to her room.

Her parents were unreliable, so she had to think of a way herself.

By the way, where was the reishi mushroom?

If Pei Xuanxin had money for a betrothal gift, had he already found the reishi mushroom?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Yan felt an indescribable feeling.

If Pei Xuanxin had really found the reishi mushroom, why didn’t he tell her?

If he didn’t find it, where did he get the betrothal money from?

Thinking of this, Li Yan wished she could immediately ask Pei Xuanxin about it.

But as she started to stand, she stopped.

At this moment, Li Zhan walked in and headed straight for Li Yan’s room.

There was a knock on the door.

“Sister, open the door! It’s me!” Li Zhan said.

When Li Yan heard Li Zhan’s voice, she thought for a moment and walked over to open the door.

Li Zhan took a few steps into the house and stuffed a bag to Li Yan.

“This is my dowry for you. Keep it well! Don’t let Father and Mother see it!”

Li Yan felt the weight in her hand and understood something. She looked at her brother in disbelief.

“No matter what, you’re still my sister. Since you’re getting married, I naturally have to express my gratitude! Don’t worry! On the day of your marriage, I’ll send you your dowry. Although it’s not much, it’s a token of my appreciation. However, don’t tell Father and Mother about this. I’m afraid you won’t have a share if I give it to you too early!” Li Zhan said.

“Brother, where did you get the silver?” Li Yan was still a little touched.

At least her brother treated her well.

“Don’t worry about this. Leave this house first and live your own life!” Li Zhan instructed before turning to leave.

Li Yan looked at her brother’s departing figure and pinched the thing in her hand. She was touched and puzzled.

After closing the door again, Li Yan opened the thing in her hand and saw twenty taels of silver.

At this moment, Li Yan’s heart warmed.

At the same time, after Li Zhan walked out of the Li family’s house, he walked straight out.

Not long after, he saw a few young masters in embroidered clothes.

“How did it go? Did you give your sister the silver?”
