116 Better to Live Than Die

At this moment, Li Xiaoran’s grip was surprisingly strong as she held the young woman’s hand tightly.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran only had one thought in her mind, which was to stop this woman and not let her do anything stupid.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng also realized that something was wrong. He walked over and took a look. Then, he flicked a copper coin and hit the woman’s hemp scripture.

“Okay, you can let go now. She can’t move now!” Luo Cheng said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she let go and looked at the young woman in front of her.

As expected, this young woman’s entire body was numb. She felt uncomfortable just by moving slightly.

Seeing that her enemy had left just like that, the woman couldn’t move, but her tears fell.

Looking at those swollen eyes and the hatred in them, Li Xiaoran sighed.

“I don’t know what happened, but I just want to tell you that your method of revenge is the stupidest. Perhaps in the end, you will lose your life, but that man will still be free!”

As soon as Li Xiaoran said this, the woman finally broke down.

The numbness on her body faded. The woman squatted on the ground and buried her head as she wailed.

Seeing the woman like this, Li Xiaoran didn’t say anything and could only let the woman cry.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng stood at the side and waited patiently.

Li Xiaoran looked at the woman and then at her husband, so she said, “Husband, why don’t you go home and wait for me?!”

“No need, I’ll be wherever you are! Don’t worry, I don’t care what those people think!” Luo Cheng knew what Li Xiaoran was worried about and said.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing that Luo Cheng didn’t mind, Li Xiaoran didn’t persuade him anymore.

At this moment, when passers-by heard the cry, they would look over and then glance at Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng, who were standing beside the crying woman.

Some people who didn’t know the whole story thought that Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng had done something to make this woman cry. All of them looked at Li Xiaoran and her husband accusingly.

Luo Cheng didn’t care at all, so he didn’t bother to explain.

Li Xiaoran couldn’t be bothered to explain. Instead, she waited quietly at the side.

A woman walked over and was very angry when she saw this scene.

“What did you two do? Bully a woman in the street?”

When Li Xiaoran heard the woman’s words, she reached out and pointed at herself. “Are you asking me?”

“Who else am I asking if not you?” The woman said with a dark expression, “You little girl, you look quite pretty. Why are you so evil-hearted? If you didn’t bully her, would she be squatting on the ground and crying?”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was caught amused.

Just as she was about to explain, the stall owner not far away said, “Madam Tan, don’t falsely accuse others! They know her. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Just now, this little girl even asked that crying woman to go home for dinner! I don’t know what trouble this woman encountered, but when she saw her family, she squatted on the ground and wailed!”

When Madam Tan heard this, she immediately felt a little embarrassed.

“I’m really sorry!”

“It’s fine. It’s indeed very easy to misunderstand. I don’t know what my sister has experienced. If she doesn’t tell us, we can’t persuade her. We can only let her cry first to vent her emotions. She might be fine after a while!” Li Xiaoran smiled and waved her hand.

“Sigh, she’s crying so miserably. She must have encountered something especially troublesome! In this day and age, a single cent can stump a man, let alone a woman!” After Madam Tan learned the whole story, she looked at the young woman who was still wailing and sighed.

With that, Madam Tan squatted down and persuaded gently, “Listen to me. Everything will eventually pass. Don’t always think of the worst. In fact, after you get over this matter, after you get over it, you’ll realize that it’s actually not a big deal. Life is hard for us women, but it’s better to live than to die!”

With that, Madam Tan reached out and patted the young woman’s shoulder. “You have to live for those who want you to live well!”

After saying this, Madam Tan stood up.

“Try to persuade her! After all, there’s only hope if she’s alive!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and said with admiration, “Auntie, you’re right. I think so too. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely persuade my sister to live well!”

Madam Tan nodded and left to buy groceries with her basket.

The young woman on this side slowly stopped crying too, then stood up from the ground.

It was unknown if what Madam Tan had previously said had worked, or if this woman’s emotions had been vented after crying.

After wiping her tears, the young woman walked over and bowed to Li Xiaoran.

“Thank you for stopping me previously. Otherwise, I really would have lost my life! I had already thought about it previously. I wanted to die with that damn He Lun. Now that I’ve calmed down, I feel a wave of lingering fear. If I really made a move just now, my old parents probably wouldn’t have any will to live anymore!”

“You don’t have to be so polite. Since I encountered this today, I naturally have to interfere. When people are impulsive, they might be compelled to do something wrong, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Fortunately, you’ve finally figured it out. It didn’t stop you in vain!” Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the young woman had thought it through.

“My house isn’t far ahead. Why don’t you go to my house to wash up and tidy up? Look at you. When you go back, your family will definitely be worried!” Li Xiaoran glanced at the young woman and invited.

The young woman didn’t need to look to know that she was in a sorry state, so she didn’t reject Li Xiaoran’s kind offer.

Soon, the three of them went to Luo Cheng’s house.

After entering the house, Luo Cheng went straight to his study.

“If anything happens, shout for me!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and brought the young woman directly to the kitchen.

“What’s your name? How should I address you?” Li Xiaoran asked.

“My name is Li Qiuxiang. I’m already married!” The young woman replied.

“My surname is also Li! Maybe we were family 500 years ago! My name is Li Xiaoran. You can call me Xiaoran!” When Li Xiaoran heard that they had the same surname, she immediately became more amiable to the woman.
