The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady

73 Buy an Ox-cart!

“I’m still short of onions. I need some chives too!” Li Xiaoran didn’t intend to be polite with Wang Mingjiang at all and directly said what she needed.

Following that, Wang Mingjiang learned about vegetables, rice, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea under the guidance of Li Shun’s family.

When a dish was ready and Luo Cheng reached out to serve it, he asked, “Do you think he’ll be better now?”

Li Xiaoran knew that Luo Cheng was asking about Wang Mingjiang’s condition. Without thinking, she said, “Some people are depressed because they are too idle! Only people who have nothing to do will think about it all day. Let him do things every day. He’ll be so tired that he won’t have the time to think about anything. Naturally, he’ll get better. That’s right, this is only the beginning. As time passes, we definitely have to use other methods!”

At this point, Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Time and sincerity are the best healing medicine in the world! I believe that in our family environment, he will understand!”

Seeing that Li Xiaoran had a plan, Luo Cheng didn’t ask further.

There was just an extra person at home. He could work at the noodle stall, so it would be killing two birds with one stone.

As for the compensation for the jade pendant, Luo Cheng didn’t take it to heart at all.

That jade pendant was worth some money, but it was only a hundred taels of silver.

However, it was worth it to exchange a jade pendant for a life.

Soon, the dishes were ready.

Wang Mingjiang was called to the dining table by Luo Cheng and sat with everyone to eat.

At the dining table, the family chatted as they ate.

“Daughter, son-in-law, after you two went to town yesterday, a little dog came to our stall from somewhere and followed your father closely. Your father thought that this little fellow was very cute and carried him back when he was closing the stall. In the end, as soon as he came back, he was taken away by Big Yellow. We still haven’t seen it!” Zhao Xiu thought of something and said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was immediately interested.

“The elders in this village often say that dogs are blessed. In that case, our noodle stall will definitely earn a lot of money in the future!”

“Sigh, it’s really like this! When I was young, I knew a family in the neighboring village that suddenly got a dog. Not long after, they became rich! Now, they’ve moved to the city for many years already.” Li Shun thought of something and nodded. “I think our family will become rich soon!”

Li Xiaoran loved to hear about these things the most, so she asked curiously, “Father, what’s the surname of this family? Is there any news of them after they moved to the city?”

Li Shun shook his head and said, “How would I know?! Look at me. In the past, I only knew how to farm all day. I only went to town a few times, so I don’t know what happened to that family!”

“It’s fine. After we buy an ox cart, you can go to town as many times as you want!” Li Xiaoran could sense the regret in her father’s heart, so she comforted him.

“An ox cart? We still have to buy an ox cart?” Li Shun asked in surprise.

This time, Li Xiaoran didn’t answer. Luo Cheng took the initiative to speak.

“Yes. Actually, I’ve thought about buying an ox cart in the past. However, I’m the only one at home, so an ox cart won’t be of any use. Now, it’s different. There are more things to buy, so I need to buy an ox cart. After the shop by the pipeline is built, the noodle stall’s business will grow bigger and bigger, and there will be more ingredients to buy. Things will be easier if we buy an ox cart!”

Since Luo Cheng had said so, the others naturally had no objections.

Li Shun was overjoyed and said happily, “Then I have to learn how to drive an ox cart from Sr. Hu. In the future, if anyone in our family goes to town, I’ll bring you there!”

“That’s great. I’ve never been to town before! Can I go to town to take a look in the future?!” Li Xiaoqing said happily.

When Li Xiaoran heard her sister’s words, she immediately blamed herself.

As her sister, she only paid attention to her own matters and had neglected her sister, Xiao Qing.

‘Why don’t I take you with me when we go to town tomorrow?’

“Next time your sister goes to town, follow her! I know how to make knife-cut noodles. You sisters can go out and play. I will keep a watch on the noodle stall!” Zhao Xiu glanced at her youngest daughter and said dotingly.

“Why don’t we go together tomorrow? It doesn’t matter if the noodle stall is closed for one day. I’ll inform Yuan Cheng and the others that if any regulars come, invite them to come back the day after tomorrow!” Luo Cheng said.

This time, everyone except Wang Mingjiang looked at Luo Cheng.

“Are we going tomorrow?” Li Shun asked uncertainly.

“We’ll go tomorrow. It just so happens that our family is going to buy an ox cart so let’s go together. I can’t tell if a cow is good or bad. When the time comes, I’ll have to rely on you, Father-in-law!” Luo Cheng told them what he wasn’t good at.

Li Shunyi’s eyes lit up when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.

“I’m familiar with it! I’m very familiar with cows! Back then, when there was only one cow in the village, everyone bought it together. At that time, I was the person who took the best care of the cows in the village. Later, the village chief asked me to be in charge of feeding the cows in the village. He even gave me a salary every month!”

“That makes things easier! So let’s go to town together tomorrow!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Since Luo Cheng had said so, no one objected.

However, at this moment, Wang Mingjiang spoke.

“What about me? Do I need to follow?”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Wang Mingjiang.

With so many people’s attention on him. Wang Mingjiang was a little flustered. At this moment, he realized that he seemed to be an outsider here.

Before he could continue thinking, Li Xiaoran said.

“Of course you’re coming with us! You’re part of this family now that you’re here!”

“That’s right! Let’s go together tomorrow!” Luo Cheng nodded at Wang Mingjiang.

This time, Wang Mingjiang’s mood immediately became cheerful.

For some reason, he liked it here. He liked the atmosphere of the house.

Even if it was just a small matter, even if it had nothing to do with him, he inexplicably wanted to be involved.

Because here, he had a familiar feeling, the warmth of a family, which he had experienced before.

Thinking of this, Wang Mingjiang suddenly felt a headache.

After a while, Wang Mingjiang’s headache seemed to have stopped, but he felt that he had forgotten something very important!
