Chapter 68

68 Threat

When the surrounding people heard this, they immediately looked at Li Qiang and Li Zhan and pointed at them.

“I’ve lived for so long, but this is the first time I’ve heard that the eldest son and second son of a family didn’t take care of their parents. Instead, they let their son and daughter-in-law, who were married off, take care of them! Tsk, tsk, tsk. How shameless must they be to say such a thing?!” An old woman looked at Li Qiang in disdain and said.

“How heartless and ungrateful. Let me think. If I had raised such an ingrate’s son, I’d be furious!” On the other side, a middle-aged man also stared at Li Qiang and his son and scolded them.

Hearing the discussions around them, Li Qiang and Li Zhan couldn’t bear it no matter how thick-skinned they were.

“Father!” Li Zhan couldn’t help but tug at his father’s sleeve. “Let Cousin and Cousin-in-law enter the house to talk!”

“There’s no need to go in! We came here specifically to bring Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle back!” Li Xiaoran shook her head and refused. “I wonder if Eldest Uncle knows where Second Uncle is?”

When Li Qiang heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately thought of something.

It seemed like he couldn’t escape. Then he had to drag Second Brother down with him. He couldn’t go back alone to suffer!

“I know where your second uncle is. I can take you there!”

With that, Li Qiang looked at Li Zhan and reminded him.

“Son, don’t go to those places again. Quit now! Otherwise, we won’t be able to clean up after you next time!”

With that, Li Qiang looked at Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran.

“Come with me!”

With that, Li Qiang walked out of the alley.

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng looked at each other and followed.

After they left the alley, Li Qiang tried to curry favor with them as he walked.

“Xiaoran! Don’t keep an eye on me! After you find your second uncle, just bring him back!”

Li Xiaoran glanced at Li Qiang and ignored him.

Seeing that Li Xiaoran didn’t want to talk to Li Qiang, Luo Cheng walked forward and came to Li Xiaoran’s side. Then, he glared at Li Qiang.

Li Qiang didn’t dare to say anything else after being glared at by Luo Cheng. He could only obediently bring Li Xiaoran and the others to find his second brother, Li Wei.

No matter how shameless Li Qiang was, he didn’t dare to attack Luo Cheng!

Others might not know what Luo Cheng was like, but he knew.

He had personally seen Luo Cheng fight with a group of people and walk out unscathed.

From then on, Li Qiang knew that Luo Cheng wasn’t to be trifled with.

Even his daughter, Li Yan, had repeatedly warned him not to provoke Luo Cheng no matter what. He should stay as far away as possible.

Li Qiang agreed with his daughter’s words.

Therefore, when he saw that Luo Cheng had come looking for him, Li Qiang obediently accepted his fate.

If it were anyone else, Li Qiang wouldn’t be so cooperative.

Things went smoothly after that!

With Li Qiang leading the way, Li Wei was quickly caught.

Therefore, the brothers stood together dejectedly while thinking about something.

Luo Cheng ignored their schemes and tapped their acupoints. Then, he called someone over from somewhere and rented an ox cart to send the brothers back to the village.

Before the ox cart left, Luo Cheng came to Li Qiang and Li Wei and said something softly.

“You’d better not play any tricks. Go back and discuss how to take care of your parents! If you disappear next time, I don’t mind teaching you two a lesson! If you don’t believe me, you can try! I don’t have the patience to interfere in these matters. If this matter affects me again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

With that, Luo Cheng nodded at the coachman, who waved his whip and left with Li Qiang and Li Wei.

When Li Xiaoran saw this, she was a little puzzled.

“Why did you let the ox cart go? What about us?”

Luo Cheng turned around and glanced at Li Xiaoran. “Didn’t you want to buy something?”

“But we also need an ox cart to buy things! We have a lot of things to buy this time! The weather is about to turn cold, so we have to buy thick coats. We also have to buy cotton pads and quilts, as well as cotton shoes. By the way, it’s almost the new year. Shouldn’t we prepare some things for the new year?” Li Xiaoran began to plan.

“Stop, stop, stop! I have a headache when I hear you talking about this! Let’s go buy it now! Don’t worry, I’ll rent another ox cart to transport the things back later!” Luo Cheng immediately felt his head hurt and quickly stopped her.

“Then why don’t we let the ox cart wait and go back together?! This way, we can save some money!” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.

“Firstly, I don’t lack this money! Secondly, I don’t want to see Li Qiang and Li Wei’s faces. They’re too ugly and will affect my mood!” As Luo Cheng spoke, he held Li Xiaoran’s hand and walked towards the most prosperous street in town.

They went on a shopping spree.

After Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng bought what they needed at home, the two of them couldn’t carry everything.

In the end, Luo Cheng had no choice but to bring Li Xiaoran to a small courtyard. He placed the things in a room and continued to shop on the street.

“Are you sure that residence isn’t yours?” Li Xiaoran asked for the third time on the street.

“I’m sure it’s not mine! It’s Luo Han’s! He likes to buy houses. He buys houses everywhere and only lives in them occasionally. He said that I’m not far from Golden Sun Town, so he gave me a key and left a room for me. He said that I can’t go to town without a place to stay! Look, I haven’t used it before. This time, it’s really thanks to you that I can use this room for the first time!” Seeing that Li Xiaoran had been nagging him with this question, Luo Cheng could only explain.

When Li Xiaoran heard that, she suddenly had more guesses.

“Speaking of which, how did you meet Luo Han? Aren’t you a hunter? Why do I feel that you’re not an ordinary person?! Tell me, do you have some secret ident.i.ty? For example, something like the son of a high-ranking official being kidnapped and living among the commoners? I saw those sorts of stories in comics!”

For the first time, Luo Cheng realized that the wife he married seemed to be very curious, and her thoughts were always different from those of ordinary people.

However, although she had guessed something, he wouldn’t tell her!

He would let her continue to imagine!
