The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady

Chapter 87

87 Aunt Hui

Li Xiaoran was shocked by Luo Cheng’s sudden words and didn’t react at all.

When she realized what Luo Cheng had said, Li Xiaoran came to Luo Cheng and looked down at him.

Did he treat her a little differently too?

At this moment, Li Xiaoran wanted to find something from Luo Cheng’s expression to prove her guess.

Luo Cheng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Li Xiaoran at such a close distance.

However, he didn’t want Li Xiaoran to notice anything, so he deliberately pulled a long face and pretended to be calm as he stared at Li Xiaoran.

“What are you looking at?”

“I’m looking...” Li Xiaoran paused.

“I’m looking to see why my husband is so handsome!”

With that, Li Xiaoran smiled and went to practice writing.

As soon as Li Xiaoran said this, Luo Cheng immediately blushed.

After stealing a glance at Li Xiaoran and making sure that she didn’t notice anything unusual, Luo Cheng quickly drank the cold tea.

He had no choice. At this moment, his body felt as hot as if he had lit a fire. He had to drink some herbal tea to cool down.

This was the first time in his life that he had been teased by his wife. This feeling wasn’t bad!

Thinking of this, Luo Cheng secretly smiled.

Although Li Xiaoran couldn’t see Luo Cheng’s reaction, she could sense his emotions!

Sensing Luo Cheng’s joy, Li Xiaoran also smiled!

So she wasn’t the only one who felt something. He did too!

There wasn’thing more delightful than having reciprocated feelings!

The next day, the sun finally came out.

Li Xiaoran had long expected the weather to clear up today, so she woke up early to knead the noodles.

To Li Xiaoran’s surprise, her family actually learned how to knead dough.

Not long after she got up, the others started walking.

The family of five each kneaded a dough and were much more efficient.

After the dough was ready, everyone split up and quickly prepared everything they needed for today’s stall!

At this moment, Zhao Xiu carried the meat loaf and a large pot of mixed grain porridge that she had baked in the morning and called everyone for breakfast.

Setting up a stall looked easy, but it was actually physically exhausting, so everyone had to eat well in the morning.

Boiled eggs became a necessity for the family’s breakfast.

Li Xiaoran took a bite of the egg, a bite of the meat pie, and then a mouthful of porridge.

“To be honest, boiled eggs are a must-have on the way. An egg can fill one’s stomach, and it’s convenient to carry around after it’s cooked. It won’t spoil even in winter.” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “Unfortunately, eggs are expensive. Many people can’t bear to eat them. Otherwise, we could sell some boiled eggs in the morning!”

“Actually, you can boil some to sell! However, although boiled eggs are delicious, the taste is too bland. If only there was some saltiness!” Luo Cheng thought of something and said.

“That’s simple! Just make it into braised eggs or tea eggs! However, tea is expensive, so just make it into braised eggs!” Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something and said with a smile.

“But our family consumes a lot of eggs every day. Where can we buy eggs to sell?!” Li Xiaoqing said worriedly.

Zhao Xiu thought of something and said, “We can go to the village to buy them! Every family raises chickens and sells these eggs in town. Instead of going so far, it’s better to sell them to our family! We just have to pay the same price as the townspeople!”

Li Shun thought of something and said, “That’s true. I remember that once, the wife of some person in the village accidentally broke an egg on the way, so she didn’t manage to sell it. It was a waste of those eggs!”

“It’s too late for today. After we close the stall, Mother, go to the village and ask who sells eggs. Collect some first!” Li Xiaoran thought about it and felt that this was a good idea, so she made the arrangements.

“By the way, apart from eggs, duck eggs are also nice!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and added.

“Duck eggs? Duck eggs are so fishy. Will anyone want them?” Zhao Xiu said worriedly.

When Li Xiaoran heard her mother’s words, she laughed.

“Mother, don’t worry! The more duck eggs there are, the better. I can make salted duck eggs. Those taste even better, just like our salted vegetables. It’s a good side dish to eat along with rice and steamed buns!”

“If you say so, that makes things easier! There really are people in our village who raise many ducks to sell. It’s just that no one wants the duck eggs that the ducks give birth to. They can’t sell them for much money, so they eat them themselves. Speaking of which, you and Xiao Qing even ate duck eggs when you two were young!” Zhao Xiu thought of something and teased with a smile.

Li Xiaoqing immediately thought of a figure and said happily, “I know. Mother, you’re talking about Aunt Hui, right? If Sister really needs duck eggs, buy them from Aunt Hui to help her out!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she also searched the Host’s memories and finally found information about Aunt Hui.

Aunt Hui’s name was He Hui, and she was the wife of Guan Dongshan.

Speaking of Guan Dongshan and He Hui, they weren’t locals of Hele Village. They were from elsewhere.

The Guan family and the He family had always been arch-enemies. It was unknown which generation the resentment accumulated from, but the two families were very hostile.

However, Guan Dongshan and He Hui were attracted to each other and wanted to marry each other.

However, the Guan family and the He family’s feud made the two families try to forcefully break up this pair of lovers.

Initially, everyone thought that this would be a sad story. Unexpectedly, these two people actually did something unexpected.

Guan Dongshan had volunteered to leave the Guan family. He had even severed ties with his parents and left the Guan family to be with the person he loved.

When He Hui saw how much Guan Dongshan had done, she decisively borrowed money from someone to pay her parents in order to sever ties. Then, she left her hometown with Guan Dongshan and settled down in Hele Village.

Not many people knew about this, but Zhao Xiu did.

It was also because it wasn’t easy for the two of them that after coming to Hele Village, Zhao Xiu and Li Shun would help them from time to time.

...

Later, the couple began to raise ducks in the village and sell them to the people in the restaurant. Gradually, they started to make a livelihood for themselves.

Over the years, the two of them had finished paying off the debt they had owed back then. They had also bought land to repair the house in the village and raised more ducks.

However, although two of them had raised too many ducks, they had nowhere to sell the duck eggs. They could only eat them themselves.

At first, He Hui and Guan Dongshan would send some duck eggs to the Li family.

Later on, they realized that the duck eggs they sent had been eaten by the rest of the Li family, so He Hui and Guan Dongshan stopped sending them.
