The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady

Chapter 45

45 Li Yan’s Scheme

Actually, there was something that Li Xiaoran didn’t say. Those differences were actually unimportant. The biggest difference was that there was one more person.

Some people were destined to meet.

If they missed out on each other, their lives would be completely different!

Therefore, meeting the right person at the right time was also fate.

She and he must be fated!

Or so Li Xiaoran thought, though she’d never said it aloud.

There were some feelings that she knew she felt but couldn’t bring herself to say.

Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran in confusion and suddenly felt that there was something between him and Li Xiaoran.

They seemed very close, but they also seemed very far apart!

This feeling confused Luo Cheng.

What was wrong with him?

After one of the convoy left, more than half of the dough that was prepared for today was gone.

The sorghum noodles brought by Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao had already been made into steamed buns and sold.

There were only two baskets left. They would definitely be sold out.

Now that they were alone, they found a spot where no one else could see them. They gathered around and counted their previous earnings.

When the counting was done, the two of them smiled happily.

They had earned some money from selling sorghum buns for the first time.

Li Xiaoqing couldn’t help but laugh when she saw how happy the two of them were.

The two big lads were smiling like children now. It was rare to see.

Still, seeing them happy made her happy, too.

“Sister, I suddenly seem to understand the joy of helping others!” Li Xiaoqing said to her sister.

“It’s actually a joy to give. Unfortunately, some people don’t understand this joy. They even take it for granted and trample on it.” Li Xiaoran thought of something and sighed.

“I got it. You must be talking about Grandpa, Uncle, and Second Uncle!”

Li Xiaoran only smiled but didn’t say anything else.

The other stalls there had more or less sold some items, and the people who set up their stalls were all smiling.

Of course, there were exceptions.

For example, Zhao Chunhua and the old couple selling wild eggs not far away were exceptions.

If looks could kill, Zhao Chunhua would have killed Li Xiaoran countless times.

Why was the difference so big when they both had noodle stalls? What was she missing?

When the convoy stopped just now, many people would rather wait there than buy from her stall.

Occasionally, there were two people who bought the soup. After they ate it, no one else came to buy it.

At this moment, Zhao Chunhua felt that Li Xiaoran must have jinxed her. Otherwise, how could her soup not sell?

Just like that, Zhao Chunhua blamed all the trouble on Li Xiaoran.

Li Yan originally wanted to set up a stall to earn money.

Because in her memory, Li Xiaoran had married a poor scholar in her previous life.

At that time, the poor scholar’s mother was seriously ill and they didn’t have the money to treat her illness. They were chased over by the people from the medical center.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran and Li Shun sold a reishi mushroom and took out some money to pay for the treatment.

It was also for this reason that the poor scholar had always been grateful to Li Xiaoran.

Li Shun felt that this poor scholar was a good person. Coincidentally, Li Xiaoran had also reached the age of marriage.

Later on, the poor scholar came back to propose marriage and married Li Xiaoran. From then on, Li Xiaoran lived a better life.

Calculating the time, Li Shun and Li Xiaoran had probably met the poor scholar recently.

Therefore, Li Yan wanted to go to the mountain to find the reishi mushroom that Li Shun and the others had found in their previous life. Then, she would meet that poor scholar and snatch Li Xiaoran’s wealth and man from her.

However, reishi mushrooms weren’t so easy to find. After searching several mountains, she didn’t see any reishi mushroom. In the end, she even fell a few times and her hand was cut by the sharp stones.

In a fit of anger, Li Yan kicked the stones away. Before she could vent her anger, she even slashed at the surrounding small branches with the scimitar in her hand.

“Go to hell! Go to hell! Why can Li Shun and Li Xiaoran find reishi mushrooms, but why can’t I?! God, why are you so unfair to me? Good things have never been mine!”

With that, Li Yan even roared.

“Reishi mushroom? So you’ve been wandering the mountains for a few days looking for reishi mushrooms?” At that moment, a voice sounded.

Li Zhan, who had been following behind Li Yan, walked out and said with a smile.

Li Yan glanced at her brother and rolled her eyes.

“Big Brother, you’ve really been free recently! Didn’t you promise Grandpa that you would study? Why are you here?!”

Seeing that his sister was avoiding the main topic, Li Zhan walked over and said, “I’ve been reading! But I can’t be reading all the time, right? I have to come out and walk around. I happened to see you coming up the mountain, so I followed you! Sister, don’t change the topic. Where’s the reishi mushroom you mentioned? Why don’t I help you find it?”

Li Yan glared at her big brother and said angrily, “Even I can’t find it. Do you think you can find it? I think your gambling addiction is acting up again! Big brother, don’t forget that you owed so much gambling debt previously. Grandpa used a tiger bone to pay it off for you. Now that the remaining tiger bone has been made into a paste, if you gamble again, there won’t be a second tiger bone to save your life!”

Lee Zhan chuckled at that.

...

“My sister, why don’t you use your brain! Grandpa doesn’t have a tiger bone anymore, but Luo Cheng might have one!”

When Li Yan heard this, a hint of mockery appeared on her face.

“Big Brother, don’t say that I didn’t remind you. Luo Cheng isn’t a good person. He treats Li Xiaoran’s family well now, but after a while, they’ll suffer. At that time, Li Xiaoran’s family will know that he’s even worse than the Li family!”

Li Zhan heard Li Yan’s words and realized something.

“Why did you say that, sister?”

“Why do you say that? Do you really think that the rumors about Luo Cheng in the village are fake? I can tell you that they’re all true. Luo Cheng is even more cold-blooded and heartless than everyone thinks. He’s not human at all. There’s nothing in this world that he can’t do!” Li Yan recalled her experience in her previous life and said hatefully.

Lee Zhan frowned when he saw his sister like this.

His sister hated Luo Cheng so much. Could it be that something had happened between his sister and Luo Cheng when he was away studying?

Or had his sister found out something about Luo Cheng and said that?
