Chapter 88
88 Consideration
However, Li Xiaoran knew from the Host’s memories that they had not interacted with the Guan family for a long time.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran voiced her doubts.
When Li Shun and Zhao Xiu heard Li Xiaoran’s words, the two of them looked at each other and Li Shun explained.
!!
“It’s not that we didn’t interact with them, but something happened at the Guan family’s house. The people in the village were afraid of getting into trouble, so they didn’t interact with the Guan family. You know our family too. With your grandmother’s personality, she said that if we continued to interact with the Guan family, she would let your grandfather and your two uncles break our legs. We had no choice. We went to look for Guan Dongshan and the others and said that we wouldn’t interact with them on the surface!”
“No interaction on the surface? Then there’s interaction in secret?” Li Xiaoran immediately caught the main point.
“We’ve seen them once or twice in secret, but something happened at their house. He Hui looked depressed all day long. The last time He Hui came to see us, she also looked depressed. After giving us a few cooked duck eggs, she said that we should never interact with them again! At that time, I was very puzzled and wanted to ask for the reason. In the end, He Hui said that this was the best way!” Zhao Xiu recalled. “After that, I never interacted with He Hui again!”
“Then why do you want to buy duck eggs from Aunt Hui now?” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.
“Firstly, you need to buy duck eggs. If you want to buy from someone else, why don’t you buy from your Aunt Hui’s family instead?! In the past, the two of them helped us so much, but we didn’t have any way to repay them. Now that we have the chance today, we naturally want to look for them. Secondly, I also want to use the excuse of buying duck eggs to see He Hui. I also want to know what happened that the two of them didn’t have much contact with the people in the village for the past few years!” Zhao Xiu said what was on her mind.
“Is the family you’re talking about the one with a paddy field and ducks at the edge of the village?” Luo Cheng suddenly asked.
“That’s right. It’s that family!” Zhao Xiu nodded and looked at her son-in-law, wondering why he asked.
“If it’s this family, then I can tell you with certainty! There’s only a woman and a little boy at home. I’ve never seen Guan Dongshan!” Luo Cheng said with certainty.
The family looked shocked.
Guan Dongshan had been away all this time? What was going on?
“Also, there are people secretly watching their house. What makes me even more puzzled is that as long as this woman comes into contact with the people in the village, the person she came into contact with would also be secretly watched for a period of time. Then, after a period of time, they wouldn’t be watched anymore!” Luo Cheng revealed another shocking piece of news.
Zhao Xiu was shocked when she heard this.
“No wonder. No wonder He Hui asked me not to interact with their family anymore. It’s for our own good!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she had a guess.
“I believe Aunt Hui and Uncle Guan are involved in a very serious matter. In order not to implicate us, Aunt Hui came to tell Mother this. To prevent the people in the village from suffering, Aunt Hui’s family doesn’t interact with the people in the village. But why isn’t Uncle Guan at home?” Li Xiaoran was puzzled.
“There were indeed no men in that house, but the ducks were still being raised. Every month, someone would come regularly to take the ducks away and send some food to the mother and son. I accidentally bumped into them several times and thought it was strange, so I secretly investigated. Later, after realizing that there was something wrong with them, I stopped investigating!” Luo Cheng told them everything he knew.
“Then what should we do? Did something happen to Aunt Hui? Are we still going to buy duck eggs?” Li Xiaoqing said worriedly.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said firmly, “Of course we have to buy duck eggs! We’re doing business, so we naturally have to find the best supply. There are people in the village selling duck eggs, and the price is cheap. We definitely have to go and buy them. If we don’t buy them, it will seem very suspicious.”
“Father, Mother, it’s been so many years, but we haven’t met Aunt Hui and the others yet. Perhaps the situation inside has already changed. Perhaps Aunt Hui and Uncle Guan need our help at this time! If I think we should use the excuse of buying duck eggs to visit Aunt Hui’s house!”
Li Shun and Zhao Xiu looked at each other and then at Luo Cheng.
“Son-in-law, will we cause you trouble by doing this?”
Luo Cheng pondered for a moment and said, “I think Xiaoran is right. Since we need duck eggs for business, we should definitely buy duck eggs. There’s no reason not to buy it! It’s better to go and check things out first! But this time, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, don’t go. Xiaoran and I will go together!”
Seeing that Luo Cheng had agreed, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu had no qualms.
The matter was decided. The family would go to the stall first. The rest could be discussed after the stall was closed.
After not setting up shop for a few days, it felt so good to stand by the official road again.
Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao had also arrived early. When they saw Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran arrive, they quickly came over to help set up the stall.
“The rain these past two days has made me so bored at home! After earning money, I feel like I’m addicted to it! Every day, if I don’t hear the sound of copper coins entering my pocket, I feel that something is missing!” Mao Dao spoke about his feelings over the past two days.
When Li Xiaoran and the others heard this, they couldn’t help but laugh.
“Brother Mao Dao, are you still willing to idle around in the village?” Li Xiaoqing was already familiar with Mao Dao and teased him.
“I’m unwilling to! Earning money is so fun! You don’t know, but now, when my family sees me, they’re all smiles. They no longer have a headache when they see me, like before. My parents even went to the temple to pray. They said that a god had appeared and made me a prodigal son. Fortunately, I only found out after the incident. If I had known about this in advance, I would have asked for the money and bought some thank-you gifts for Brother Luo Cheng and Xiaoran!” Mao Dao recounted what had happened at home.
“That’s right! After I started to earn money, my uncle and aunt immediately changed their attitude and said that we were still a family! Pfft, why didn’t they treat me as a family when I didn’t earn money previously? Now, we’re a family! Fortunately, I’ve already seen their true colors. Otherwise, it would be too disgusting to face such people every day!” Yuan Cheng also talked about his family.
However, Li Xiaoran knew from the Host’s memories that they had not interacted with the Guan family for a long time.
