Chapter 36

Courting Death

The guards hiding in the shadows gaped at the sisters’ valiant behavior.

After Luo Cheng beat them up, they rolled on the ground and wailed.

He turned around and saw the Li family’s sisters holding down their back baskets at the same time. Then, they each stepped on the hand of the unlucky guy.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng couldn’t help but clap and praise.

“Not bad. You should be more feisty!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she raised her chin and looked very pleased with herself.

“Of course. If we aren’t feisty, we’ll probably be beaten by these people!”

“Alright, stand aside! I’ll get this unlucky guy on the ground to join those people!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing immediately moved to the side.

Luo Cheng walked over, took the basket off the unfortunate man, and kicked him.

They watched as the man flew up in a beautiful parabola and landed.

Fortunately, the unlucky man’s buddies were also on the ground, becoming his human cushion.

Luo Cheng walked over and squatted down. Then he stared at the people lying on the ground and asked, “Tell me! Who called you here?”

“No, no one asked us to come! It’s just that I heard that someone set up a noodle stall here. It seems that business is good, so I thought of coming over to earn some money!” The man who was the first to get up said while trembling.

“Oh yeah, who did you hear that from?” Luo Cheng asked casually.

Those who had already seen how powerful Luo Cheng was naturally didn’t dare to hide it anymore.

“I heard it from our village’s Wang Er Mazi!” The man quickly replied.

“Wang Er Mazi? Is Wang Er Mazi here?” Luo Cheng asked again.

“No, but I know who told Wang Er Mazi! Wang Er Mazi has always liked Li Yan from your village’s Li family. That day, when I went to the river to fish, I overheard the conversation between Li Yan and Wang Er Mazi. It was Li Yan who told Wang Er Mazi that setting up a stall here is very profitable! Li Yan said that this place doesn’t belong to anyone. Why can you set up a stall here but they can’t?!” The unlucky guy who was bullied by the Li family’s sisters said.

When Li Xiaoran heard that Li Yan was behind this, she was instantly furious.

Li Yan was really causing trouble everywhere!

She thought that they would stop interacting with each other after leaving the Li family. Unexpectedly, Li Yan was still thinking about her!

At this moment, Li Xiaoran recalled what Li Yan had said in front of her.

She wanted her wealth and glory?

Could it be that Li Yan had really been reborn, so she kept targeting her?

When Li Xiaoqing heard these people’s words, she was instantly furious.

“Is there something wrong with Li Yan?! Some time ago, I noticed that she was staring at my sister strangely with a malicious look. Now that we’ve all left the Li family, she actually came to provoke us. It seems that if we don’t teach her a lesson, she really won’t know her place!”

Mockery appeared on Luo Cheng’s face.

He was right about her.

The reason why he wanted to marry Li Yan previously wasn’t because he liked her.

His position was awkward. There were plenty of people watching him in secret. To allay some of their suspicions, he had thought of marrying a peasant girl as his wife.

He was a cold-hearted person, so he didn’t intend to harm a girl from a good family.

There were a few times when he saw the Li family’s Li Yan scheming against others behind their backs, so he thought that he might as well marry this woman. In the future, if he wanted to leave, he could kick her away without any burden!

In this way, he could be considered to have eliminated evil for the people!

However, he didn’t expect that Li Yan, who originally looked like she wanted to marry him immediately, suddenly changed her attitude and refused to marry him no matter what.

What surprised him even more was that the Li family actually wanted to play the substitute marriage game with him.

If Li Xiaoran hadn’t taken the initiative to ask him for help, he wouldn’t have given the tiger bones to the Li family.

He hated people who played tricks on him the most. The Li family’s scheme had really violated his taboo. If it weren’t for Li Xiaoran looking for him, he would have used his ruthless methods to let the Li family have a taste of the consequences of scheming against him.

Of course, after Li Xiaoran married him, Luo Cheng actually didn’t intend to let the Li family off. He originally just wanted to punish the Li family a little.

Unexpectedly, the people from the Li family were all courting death. Li Yan actually dared to take the initiative to provoke them.

“That’s right. I admire your tact in telling me everything you know. I’ll let you off today! Take your things and scram! I don’t care how you want to set up your stall on the piece of land opposite. This piece of land is ours!” Luo Cheng glanced coldly at the group of people on the ground and said coldly.

“We’ll move now!” the men on the ground replied in unison.

Next, the group stood up quickly despite the pain and moved the stall across the pipe.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing set up the noodle stall.

After everything was set up, Li Xiaoran subconsciously looked at a piece of land on the other side of the pipe and frowned.

What happened today was another wake-up call for Li Xiaoran.

This place wasn’t hers. Anyone else could set up a stall here.

Today, it was Luo Cheng who had beaten them up before snatching him back to his stall. What about next time?

If someone used this piece of land to make a fuss, she would really be forced to change her stall!

He wondered if this piece of land was taken. Should he ask which village it belonged to and if he could spend some money to buy it?

After Luo Cheng arranged the tables and chairs, he turned around and saw Li Xiaoran frowning and burning the fire, so he walked over and asked.

“What are you worried about?”

Li Xiaoran didn’t treat Luo Cheng as an outsider and directly said her thoughts.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s worry, he said calmly, “Don’t worry! There won’t be such trouble!”

...

Li Xiaoran still wanted to ask something, but at this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves.

A closer look revealed two men riding toward them from the distance.

“Looks like Brother Liu really didn’t lie to us. There’s really a noodle stall here! Owner, give us two bowls of minced meat knife-cut noodles!” The two of them went straight to the noodle stall. After dismounting, one of the taller men shouted.v

“Alright, please wait a moment. I’ll cook noodles for you now!” Li Xiaoran quickly put on her mask, washed her hands, and then went to get the dough that she had already kneaded.
