157 The Same Kind

Li Xiaoran sensed Luo Ziyang’s confusion and knew that he really had not thought it through, so she nodded.

“Alright, don’t be anxious. You can tell us when you’ve thought it through!” Li Xiaoran also knew that this matter could not be rushed.

Luo Ziyang nodded when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

The family ate happily that night.

Because of the wine, everyone washed up early and went to sleep.

The next morning, after the previous rainy weather, the sun finally came out.

After Li Xiaoran woke up, she saw the sunrise, so she quickly washed up and went to knead the noodles.

The others in the family started to arrive one after another. Everyone found something they could do and got busy together.

Even Luo Cheng naturally joined in and kneaded the dough with Li Xiaoran.

As there had not been a stall for two days, there were especially many people who came to the official road to sell food.

When Li Xiaoran and the others arrived, there were already many food stalls by the official road.

This time, Mao Dao and Yuan Cheng arrived a little earlier than Li Xiaoran and the others.

“Brother Mao Dao, Brother Yuan Cheng, why are you two so early today?” When Li Xiaoqing saw the two of them, she ran over happily to greet them.

“I haven’t set up a stall for two days. It rains every day, and it’s making me bored at home! It’s not easy to encounter good weather today, so I naturally have to set up a stall to earn money!” Mao Dao said with a smile.

“Me too. I have nothing to do at home and I’m always being snubbed, so I came out to hide from people!” Yuan Cheng said with a bitter smile.

When Luo Cheng heard Yuan Cheng’s words, he looked at the dark circles under his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, “If you don’t mind that the shop is still a little wet, you can move into the shop first! There’s a house at the far end. The ground was leveled yesterday and the walls were painted. It’s still a little wet after being parched for a day. You’ll have to roast it yourself for a few days!”

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

“No, no. It’s better if I move out earlier! To be honest, I’m really annoyed by my uncle and aunt. I don’t want to live there anymore!”

When Mao Dao heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, “Yuan Cheng, why don’t we go back with you to pack our things?! Anyway, the steamed buns are already ready. Let Sister-in-law and the others help us watch the fire. We’ll pack up quickly. It won’t take much time! We’ll go back and pack up now. Your uncle and aunt definitely won’t expect you to move away at this time!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she also felt that Mao Dao was right.

“That’s right. Yuan Cheng, go back and pack your things with Mao Dao now! We’ll help you take care of the stall. Come back quickly!”

Yuan Cheng hesitated for a moment and nodded.

“Then I’ll have to trouble everyone!”

With that, Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao rushed home.

On Li Xiaoran’s side, everyone did their own thing and quickly set up the noodle stall.

After doing this, everyone found a place to sit down and rest.

After all, the official road was empty. Everyone could only wait patiently.

Even after Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao returned, there were still no customers on the official road.

“You two packed your things so quickly? Why are there so few things?” Zhao Xiu looked at the things in Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao’s hands and asked in surprise.

Apart from a quilt and some clothes, the rest was some rice, a jar of lard, and a small amount of seasoning.

“Auntie, this is all I have at home!” Yuan Cheng replied with a smile.

Zhao Xiu’s eyes turned red as she said bitterly, “Child, don’t you even have a bed in your house?”

“Aunt, you don’t know, but he lives in a dilapidated temple in our village now. Yuan Cheng sleeps on straw mat that others don’t want! His uncle and aunt are inhumane. They keep saying that they want to treat Yuan Cheng well, but in fact, they’ve never helped Yuan Cheng!” Mao Dao said indignantly.

When Li Shun heard this, he couldn’t help but sigh.

“Ziyang, bring them to the small room at the back of the shop to put down their things first. Then bring the two of them to our house to move a bed out! I remember that I previously bought a bed that’s a little small and has never been used. Move it over for Yuan Cheng to use!” Luo Cheng said.

Yuan Cheng thanked Luo Cheng gratefully and quickly followed Luo Ziyang to the shop.

“There are really all kinds of people in this world!” Zhao Xiu couldn’t help but sigh as she watched the three of them leave.

“Fortunately, Yuan Cheng was lucky to meet Luo Cheng. Now, he has finally escaped that living hell and has a chance to start over.” Li Shun sighed.

Actually, weren’t they the same?

Previously, they had encountered the Li family, their parasitical relatives. If Luo Cheng had not asked them to come over, they would be struggling in the Li family’s trap.

To be honest, Li Shuncong was very grateful to Luo Cheng!

Without their son-in-law, they would not have their current good days.

At this moment, two people walked over from afar.

Seeing so many stalls by the official road, the two of them were very curious.

When the people setting up the stall saw that someone had finally arrived, they were all looking forward to it.

However, when they got closer, they realized that the two of them were dressed very ordinarily. They probably did not have any silver to buy food.

This time, the group looked disappointed.

Li Xiaoran’s family did not think much of it. If there were guests, they would welcome them. If there were no guests, they would wait quietly.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the noodle stall.

Li Shun was about to ask if they wanted noodles when he saw the man in front of him.

“You’re Brother Guan?” Li Shun blurted out, his eyes wide.

The other party was stunned for a moment. He sized up Li Shun and asked in disbelief, “Li Shun, Big Brother Li, why is it you?”

As expected, the person who came was none other than Guan Dongshan, He Hui’s man.

“It’s really you! Where have you been for so long?” Li Shun said. He looked at the child in Guan Dongshan’s hand and immediately thought of something. “This is your and He Hui’s son, right?”

When Guan Dongshan heard Li Shun’s words, he lowered his head and reached out to touch his son’s head. “Yes! Come, Guan Kang, greet Third Uncle Li!”

“Third Uncle Li!” Guan Kang called out obediently.

“Hey, this child is so obedient! Come in quickly. I’m happy to see you today. I’ll treat you to knife-cut noodles!” Li Shun invited happily, “Xiu’er, come and see who’s here!”
