41 The Person He Was Protecting

When Zhao Xiu heard this, she suddenly looked up at Luo Cheng.

The deed? He had already bought the land?

At this moment, no matter what the people around her felt, Li Xiaoran suddenly felt satisfied.

The man always thought for her sake. He did everything she didn’t expect without saying a word.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran suddenly remembered that when she was still worried about buying land yesterday, Luo Cheng even comforted her and said that there was no hurry.

It turned out that this piece of land had long been bought by Luo Cheng.

Understanding this, Li Xiaoran smiled.

To be honest, it was really worth it to marry Luo Cheng.

She wasn’t the person he loved, but she could still receive his protection. She was lucky!

It was also at this moment that Li Xiaoran felt that she had to treat Luo Cheng better to repay him.

Upon hearing Luo Cheng say that this piece of land was his, the people who had been clamoring just now finally shut up.

The people near Li Xiaoran’s noodle stall quickly moved their stalls away from this place.

Seeing that no one else had appeared on this piece of ground, Luo Cheng gave them a warning look and returned to the front of the noodle stall.

“Alright, the matter has been settled! You can set up your stall and sell your noodles in peace!” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and said.

Li Xiaoran smiled and nodded. Then, she remembered something and started to burn wood into the stove.

Soon, the fire was lit. Li Xiaoran took out three eggs and placed them in the pot to cook.

Li Xiaoqing had come back to her senses at some point. Seeing that Luo Cheng had gone to sit at the side to rest, she whispered, “Sister, Brother-in-law is really amazing! Did he buy this piece of land long ago?”

“I think so! Your brother-in-law is very thoughtful. He can think of many things that I didn’t expect. Speaking of which, I’m really lucky that I was able to marry him!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile.

Li Xiaoqing thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement. “That’s right. In the beginning, I even believed the slander of those people in the village and thought that Brother-in-law was really a terrifying person. Now that I’ve interacted with him for a while, I realize that he is actually very nice!”

“Totally! Since your brother-in-law is nice, we have to treat him better. No matter what happens in the future, we can’t do anything to let your brother-in-law down!” Li Xiaoran nodded and said.

“Don’t worry! Sister! I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t know what’s good for us! Without Brother-in-law, our parents and I would still be suffering in the Li family. How could we have such a good life now?! Don’t worry, if anyone dares to slander Brother-in-law in the future, I’ll definitely retaliate!” Li Xiaoqing nodded and said.

“It’s good that you have this intention! Xiao Qing, you have to remember to be sincere! If others treat us well, we have to treat them twice as well!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

“Yes!” Li Xiaoran nodded. He suddenly saw something and pointed at the two people who were walking in. “Sister, look, Yuan Cheng and the others are only coming over now. I wonder if these two people went somewhere to slack off!”

Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao ran over while panting.

She couldn’t blame them for being late. They were up early today.

It took them a lot of time to pack up. In addition, the two of them didn’t have very good stamina and had to stop from time to time.

Seeing that several stalls had appeared beside the pipeline, Yuan Cheng was dumbfounded.

Where were they supposed to put them now?

Luo Cheng heard the commotion and saw the Yuan family brothers. He wanted Li Xiaoran to teach them how to make steamed buns, so he said, “Put it here!”

When Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao heard Luo Cheng, they immediately thanked him gratefully and placed the items not far away.

The two of them were quite considerate. They set it up at a distance from the noodle stall and not too close.

Luo Cheng looked at the two of them in satisfaction and said meaningfully, “You two are quite sensible, unlike some people! In the future, the two of you can set up a stall here! I bought this piece of land, so I’ll allow you to set up a stall here!”

With that, Luo Cheng sneered and glanced at the people around him.

Who were Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao? They used to be loafers.

At this moment, when they saw the people setting up stalls far away from this place and looking afraid, they understood that these people had probably been dealt with by Luo Cheng, like they had been yesterday.

“Thank you, Brother Luo, for taking us in! If you need any help in the future, just let us know!” Yuan Cheng said with a smile.

Hearing Yuan Cheng’s words, Luo Cheng glanced at him.

As expected of someone who also had the word Cheng in his name.

Since he was so tactful, Luo Cheng decided to take care of him in the future.

“Sure! I won’t leave you out when I can use your help!” Luo Cheng replied.

When Yuan Cheng heard this, he was overjoyed and felt much more relaxed.

Things couldn’t go wrong if he followed such a capable person.

Mao Dao also admired the strong. When he heard Luo Cheng’s words, he quickly expressed his determination.

“Brother Luo, don’t forget me! Don’t worry, I’ll do whatever you say!”

Luo Cheng glanced at Mao Dao, thought for a moment, and said, “Learn more skills first! I don’t keep useless people!”

“Yes, yes, yes, Brother Luo, you’re right! I’ll go home and learn from today onwards!” Mao Dao nodded and said.

When Li Xiaoran saw that Luo Cheng had accepted two lackeys with just a few words, she smiled.

Some people had such charm. They could subdue others just by relying on their personal charm.

Li Xiaoran was still very supportive of Luo Cheng’s decision.

Although Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao used to be idle people, neither of them were evil by nature. As long as they were guided well, they could change their ways.

If Luo Cheng could restrain these two people and make them improve themselves, it would be a great thing.

Seeing that Luo Cheng had subdued two people in the blink of an eye, the others had their own thoughts.

There was a couple who had been obediently selling eggs at the side didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the dispute from the beginning.

At this moment, they just squatted silently and looked up the pipe.

They were already running out of food at home. They were just hoping for this basket of wild eggs to sell at a good price so they could buy more food to their family.

Luo Cheng had long noticed this couple, but he didn’t go forward rashly. Instead, he had been secretly paying attention.

After Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao set up the stall, they invited Li Xiaoran over.

As there were no customers at this time, Li Xiaoran took out some sorghum noodles and some flour and asked Mao Dao to cut some washed wild onions.

“Look, kneading dough is actually very difficult to learn!” Li Xiaoran said.
