Chapter 89

89 Yuan Cheng’s Plan

“Your uncle and aunt are also people who don’t get up early unless there is something to gain! For the sake of our friendship, I still have to remind you that it’s best for you to stay away from your uncle’s family! When you see them, be more careful and wary!” Mao Dao couldn’t help but remind Yuan Cheng when he heard about this.

He had seen Yuan Cheng’s uncle and aunt before. They weren’t good people.

If they really schemed against him, even ten Yuan Chengs wouldn’t be their match.

These days, the two of them had been working together and their relationship had naturally improved. That was why he reminded Yuan Cheng.

When Luo Cheng heard Mao Dao’s words, he nodded and showed rare concern for Yuan Cheng.

“Mao Dao, you’re right. You have to plan for yourself in advance! Where are you living now?”

Yuan Cheng also knew that everyone was being kind, so he didn’t hide it. He sneered and said, “I used to live in a dilapidated house. These few days, my uncle actually asked me to go back and live there. Actually, I know that the reason my uncle called me back was actually to tell me not to do business with Mao Dao but to make steamed buns with him to sell.”

It had to be said that this was really a good plan!

“I’m afraid it’s more than that! The so-called partnership is you paying for the ingredients alone, making steamed buns alone, and then splitting the money with your uncle and aunt!” Mao Dao said sarcastically.

Yuan Cheng’s eyes widened as he looked at Mao Dao. “You heard what my uncle said?”

“There’s no need to listen. I’ve already guessed it! I’ve long noticed how scheming your uncle and aunt are. They’ll suck you dry! Just letting you go back and live in a room can be exchanged for a free labor force that earns money for them to spend!” Mao Dao sneered, exposing Yuan Cheng’s uncle and aunt’s scheme.

“Brother Yuan Cheng, your aunt is really evil. If that’s the case, you can’t move back! If you really move back, you’ll definitely be sucked dry!” Perhaps because they had the same experience, when Li Xiaoqing saw what had happened to their family from Yuan Cheng, she said angrily.

“Don’t worry! I’m not that stupid now. I won’t be coaxed back by them! I’m just wondering if I should find a place to stay in the other villages!” Yuan Cheng said his plan softly.

“Why don’t you stay at my house? My house has a small room. Although it’s not big, it can shelter you from the wind and rain. It’s better than you living in a dilapidated house!” Mao Dao thought of something when he heard Yuan Cheng’s plan.

Yuan Cheng accepted Mao Dao’s kindness but rejected his suggestion.

“No, I can’t go to your house! If I really move to your house, my uncle and aunt will definitely be indignant. They might come looking for trouble! You know how troublesome my uncle and aunt are. I’d better not harm your family!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she also wanted to help Yuan Cheng, but she couldn’t think of a good solution.

“Hold on for a few days first. After our shop is built, move in and live in our shop! It just so happens that our shop needs a guard at night. At that time, I can give you a salary. Are you willing to come?” Luo Cheng said.

“Yes, definitely! Thank you, Brother Luo!” Yuan Cheng immediately thanked him happily.

To be honest, Yuan Cheng was naturally very willing to live in a shop and receive a salary for doing so.

“Brother Luo, don’t worry. I’ll definitely guard the shop well!” Yuan Cheng quickly promised.

“In that case, it’s really a good idea!” Mao Dao was also happy for Yuan Cheng.

“Alright, it’s settled!” Luo Cheng decided.

Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng with warmth in her eyes.

No wonder Little Huzi looked at Luo Cheng with respect. This was all due to Luo Cheng’s personal charm.

He looked like a cold person, but he was actually kind and gentle.

The man had the care and consideration that others didn’t.

It wasn’t just to her, but to everyone around him.

It was difficult not to admire Luo Cheng!

Perhaps sensing Li Xiaoran’s gaze, Luo Cheng looked over and met her gaze.

When Li Xiaoran saw Luo Cheng looking over, she smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up.

This affirmative action made Luo Cheng smile.

What he did was affirmed by the people around him. This was the first time Luo Cheng experienced such joy.

It felt so good to have someone supporting him!

As they spoke, people came on the official road, so the noodle stall had orders.

Perhaps it was because it had rained before, but although the sky had cleared up, the people who were traveling still felt a dampness in their bodies.

The steaming knife-cut noodles became the favorite of pa.s.sersby.

Of course, Mao Dao and the others’ steamed buns were also selling well. Not only did some customers eat the noodles, but they also bought a steamed bun to eat while waiting for the noodles.

Business came to the other stalls as well. Although it wasn’t as good as that of the knife-cut noodles stall, at least they still had business.

Just as Li Xiaoran’s family was busy, an old couple appeared in front of the noodle stall.

Li Xiaoran happened to have cooked a bowl of noodles. She looked up at the guests and recognized the old couple.

“Sir, Madam, it’s you guys? But I haven’t seen you two in a long time. Are you here to sell wild eggs today?” Li Xiaoran greeted with a smile.

When the two elders heard Li Xiaoran’s greeting, a smile appeared on their wrinkled faces.

“That’s right! We’ve acc.u.mulated some wild eggs. I wonder if you guys still want to buy them?”

“Yes, we’ll buy more! If you have wild eggs in the future, feel free to send them to us!” Li Xiaoran nodded and said.

Luo Cheng walked over and said to Li Xiaoran, “Leave this to me! Go ahead!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and looked at the two elders.

“Sir, Madam, I’ll go cook the noodles first! My husband will accept these eggs. Follow him to get the money!”

The two elders nodded and kept thanking them before Luo Cheng led them to the side.

After counting the wild eggs first, Luo Cheng took out his wallet.

After taking out the money for the eggs, Luo Cheng looked around and stuffed the money into the aunt’s hand.

“Young man, this money is too much!” The woman said honestly.

When Luo Cheng heard the woman’s words, he tried his best to be cordial.

“It’s not much. Give me the eggs. I’ll pay for the journey!” Luo Cheng explained, “Take them! Don’t let anyone see it!”
