Seeing the snacks, Li Xiaoran understood that the Wu family was probably quite well-off.
“Come, come, come. Everyone, try it! We made these things ourselves. Don’t stand on ceremony!” Madam Guo greeted them warmly.
Li Xiaoran and the others thanked her, then took some food and ate at the side quietly.
“Wife, this is the guy who saved my life! Luo Cheng, this is my wife, Guo Tian!” Wu Dahao stopped his wife and introduced her to Luo Cheng.
“h.e.l.lo, Auntie!” Luo Cheng greeted her with a smile.
As soon as Madam Guo saw that Luo Cheng was handsome, she immediately asked, “Hey, you’re really handsome! Are you married?”
Wu Dahao glared at his wife and said, “He already has a wife!”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he smiled and said, “Auntie didn’t know, so don’t criticize her! Xiaoran, come, come. Greet Uncle Wu and Auntie!”
When Li Xiaoran saw that Luo Cheng was calling her, she walked over with a smile and bowed to Wu Dahao and Madam Guo.
“Greetings, Uncle Wu and Auntie!”
When Madam Guo saw Li Xiaoran, she immediately thought of something.
“Li Xiaoran? Why does this name sound so familiar?”
“It’s just an ordinary name. Perhaps many people have the same name, so you find it familiar!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
This smile immediately reminded Madam Guo of something and she immediately patted her thigh.
“Sigh, I was wondering why you looked so familiar! Are you Li Xiaoran from Hele Village? You’re the little girl who married Luo Cheng and became the consort!” Madam Guo said excitedly.
After Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran exchanged looks, they laughed.
“It’s just an ident.i.ty. Uncle Wu, just treat me as the kid who hunts on the mountain!” Luo Cheng said.
Li Xiaoran only smiled and didn’t say anything. Wu Dahao was dumbfounded when he heard this.
“You’re really Luo Cheng?”
“That’s right!” Luo Cheng nodded with a smile.
Wu Dahao quickly accepted Luo Cheng’s ident.i.ty and nudged him in the chest.
“Not bad. Back then, I felt that you weren’t an ordinary person. So you’re from the royal family. No wonder your martial arts skills are extraordinary. There’s a reason! Since you don’t despise an old man like me, stay for a meal today!”
Luo Cheng nodded with a smile.
“Alright! Then we’ll have to disturb you!”
When Wu Dahao heard Luo Cheng agree, he smiled happily.
“Wife, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and prepare the food!”
After the woman came back to her senses, she looked at Luo Cheng, then at Li Xiaoran. In the end, she nodded when she heard her husband’s words.
“Sigh, I’ll go cook now! Oh my G.o.d, Mr. Luo and the consort came to our house for dinner. If word gets out, the people in the village will be envious of us!” Madam Guo said with a smile.
When Wu Dahao heard his wife’s words, he quickly reminded her, “Don’t do anything rash. Luo Cheng’s ident.i.ty has to be kept a secret. Don’t make a fuss! When someone asks later, just say that his former savior is here! Don’t say anything else!”
“Sigh, I understand! I know what to do!” As the woman spoke, she quickly called her two daughters-in-law to the kitchen.
When Li Xiaoran saw Madam Guo’s feisty personality, she immediately laughed.
“Hey, Luo Cheng, call your wife and friends to eat! Don’t stand on ceremony with us! Our family lives a good life by selling mutton, so there’s enough to eat. Hurry up and try the food!” Wu Dahao called out.
Li Xiaoran and the others thanked them with a smile, then took some food to eat.
The three of them ate melon seeds and peanuts. As for the other snacks, they only ate one each.
Li Xiaoran felt that since the Wu family had many children, it was better to leave these things for the children to eat!
Shu Ruyue lived with Li Xiaoran, so she didn’t have to worry about food.
Besides, with Li Xiaoran’s culinary skills, everything she cooked was delicious. She even knew how to make desserts.
Therefore, Shu Ruyue was uninterested in these snacks.
As for Wu Qinghe, things were even easier.
He had grown up in the mountains and was even more unlucky after going down the mountain. He felt that he was already very lucky to have food to fill his stomach, so he didn’t like those snacks.
However, he was also a discerning person. It was rude to keep eating other people’s snacks when he was a guest.
In the kitchen, Madam Guo used all the good ingredients at home.
The remaining half of the mutton was stewed in the pot.
Then, she added some spice and other meat.
When Madam Guo’s eldest daughter-in-law saw how sumptuous the dishes were, she couldn’t help but ask, “Mother, who is this person?! Why is Father-in-law so generous?”
“Who is it? He’s the savior who saved your father-in-law in the past!” The woman didn’t reveal Luo Cheng’s true ident.i.ty.
The eldest daughter-in-law immediately remembered and said, “Oh, the guy who killed three crazy wild boars with him and treated him?” “Yes, it’s that guy!” The woman replied as she cut the meat.
“Mother, they don’t seem like ordinary people! I wonder if Father-in-law’s friend is married?” When Madam Guo’s youngest daughter-in-law saw Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe outside, she started thinking about something.
“Hmph, don’t have any ideas about him. Don’t even think about arranging a marriage for your sister! He’s already married! Look, there are two women and two men. One pair is married, and the other pair is engaged!” Madam Guo glanced at her youngest daughter-in-law and reminded her.
Actually, Madam Guo didn’t know if Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue were engaged, but she could tell.
The two of them looked at each other with affection, so they were most likely a
couple.
That was why Madam Guo said this to make her youngest daughter-in-law give up.
Actually, even if they were unmarried, the woman was unwilling to tell her youngest daughter-in -law.
Her youngest daughter-in-law’s sister was a troublemaker. Whoever married such a woman would definitely be unlucky. She was lazy and kept causing trouble. No one could stand such a troublemaker!
When her youngest daughter-in-law heard her mother-in-law’s words, she pursed her lips and didn’t say anything else..
