Chapter 40

Finding Fault

Hearing his wife’s arrogant voice, Song Erwa rolled his eyes.

“If you want to set up a stall, go ahead! There are so many empty places beside the official road. You can set up anything!”

With that, Song Erwa looked at his wife in disdain.

“Other than having a sharp tongue, what skill do you have?! Even dogs don’t eat your cooking, yet you still want to set up a stall to earn money. Don’t waste food!”

These words immediately angered Song Erwa’s wife, Zhao Chunhua.

“Are you still my husband? How can you be like this? I haven’t even started my business yet you’re already raining on my parade! How’s my cooking? My cooking is good! Not to mention anything else, my soup is very good!” Zhao Chunhua said angrily.

“You only know how to make this soup! Only our family is lazy and doesn’t despise your skills! Put this soup outside and see who’s willing to pay for your food!” Song Erwa retorted.

Song Erwa really disliked her more and more.

When they first met, he thought that she was a good person with a straightforward personality. He could leave everything at home to her.

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Chunhua married him, her flaws were revealed bit by bit.

She wasn’t straightforward. She was someone who spoke without thinking. If she went out and spoke, she would offend people.

Previously, the matchmaker had bragged that Zhao Chunhua had good culinary skills, but in the end, she only knew how to make soup. The other dishes weren’t bad, nor were they delicious. They could only quench his hunger!

What Song Erwa couldn’t accept the most was that Zhao Chunhua didn’t have much ability, but always liked to compete with others.

It was said that Li Xiaoran and her sister’s business was quite good. After being instigated by someone, she became restless. There was no telling what she was thinking about all day.

“Hmph, I know. All these years that I’ve been married, you’ve been looking down on me more and more! Just you wait. Tomorrow, I’ll set up a stall and do business. I want to make your family see me in a new light!” As she spoke, Zhao Chunhua went into the kitchen and fiddled around.

Song Erwa couldn’t be bothered with Zhao Chunhua. Anyway, he was in control of the family’s money now. No matter how much trouble Zhao Chunhua caused, she couldn’t do anything.

When she encountered trouble, she would stop.

There were also several people who had the same idea as Zhao Chunhua.

Everyone had their own plans. Now that they saw that Li Xiaoran and the others were doing well, they all had their own thoughts.

When Li Xiaoran and the others went again the next day, there were a few more stalls by the road.

When Li Xiaoran saw these people, she smiled and quickly set up her stall.

As long as these people didn’t occupy her noodle stall, the rest would depend on their own abilities.

What Li Xiaoran didn’t know was that someone had long been eyeing their noodle stall.

However, the secret guards had long been instructed by Luo Cheng to keep an eye on this place.

Anyone who didn’t know better and wanted to occupy this position would be smashed by the secret guards.

As a result, a few of them were beaten until their legs were sore and they knelt down. They felt that the place was haunted, so they didn’t snatch it.

Of course, there were also people who held grudges after being beaten up. They felt that someone was secretly causing trouble, so they deliberately set up their stall very close to the noodle stall.

Just like that, as soon as the noodle stall was set up, the space around it became very small.

Even if there were customers, they wouldn’t come directly to Li Xiaoran’s noodle stall.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoqing frowned and wanted to go forward to argue.

However, Li Xiaoran grabbed Li Xiaoqing’s hand and shook her head at her, signaling her not to be rash.

Luo Cheng came directly to one of the stalls and looked coldly at the burly man opposite him.

“Move your stall!”

With that, Luo Cheng turned to look at the buddies on the other side.

“And move your stall away too!”

“I have to move it just because you say so? Who do you think you are? We’re going to put it right here. Are you looking for trouble?” The two men in the back pressed forward while crossing their arms in front of their chests with their expressions defiant.

Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing also looked at the two unfamiliar people and guessed that they were from other villages.

If these people were from the same village as them, they should know each other.

Luo Cheng squinted at the them and suddenly laughed.

“Some people just won’t shed a tear until they see the coffin!”

With that, Luo Cheng punched the nose of the person at the front.

With this punch, blood spurted from his nose.

When Luo Wenbiao saw that his brother, Luo Wenchao, had been beaten up, he immediately threw a punch over.

Unfortunately, who was Luo Cheng? He was a hunter. It wasn’t difficult for him to deal with eight idle people yesterday, let alone the people in front of him.

While those around them gloated, the fight was over.

The two brothers were beaten up miserably by Luo Cheng. Their faces were bruised and swollen.

Knowing that the two of them were no match for Luo Cheng, Luo Wenbiao sat on the ground and wailed.

“My God, come and see! He’s going to kill someone!”

A grown man was now sitting on the ground and patting his chest and howling shamelessly.

“There’s no justice in this world. The road is so wide. If you can set up a stall, why can’t we?! You’re too domineering! I’ll go to your village to look for your village chief. I don’t believe that there’s no place in this world that’s reasonable!”

“That’s right! Li Xiaoran, aren’t you sisters too domineering?! This official road doesn’t belong to your family. You’re too much of a bully! If we were all like you, how could people survive?” Zhao Chunhua couldn’t stand the Li family’s sisters and directly spoke up for the men.

Luo Cheng looked over and his cold gaze landed on Zhao Chunhua, scaring her.

However, Zhao Chunhua was foolish. At this moment, she actually suppressed the fear in her heart and said with a trembling voice.

“What? Don’t think you can bully people just because you can fight!”

...

“That’s right! Why are you guys so unreasonable?! Be kind!” A few other stall owners nearby echoed.

Li Xiaoran looked at the people around her and frowned.

At this moment, she could already feel the resentment of the people around her.

She was still trying to figure out how to resolve this situation when Luo Cheng spoke.

“Why? Because the land under my feet is mine!”

As soon as he said this, everyone who was filled with righteous indignation just now became mute!

“What? Do you want me to show you the title deed?”
