A New Beginning
Luo Cheng disappeared with Li Xiaoran and her family in front of everyone. Sr. Li looked at the tiger bones in his hand and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
With these two tiger bones, his illness could finally be treated.
In any case, as long as he could get his hands on the tiger bones it was fine. He didn’t want to be tormented by illness again.
However, Sr. Li rejoiced too early. He still didn’t know that his eldest grandson, whom he was usually proud of, was currently wandering around the gambling den.
Of course, these things had nothing to do with Li Xiaoran’s family.
When they arrived at Luo Cheng’s residence, they were immediately shocked by the residence in front of them.
Luo Cheng had a bad reputation outside, so very few people had the guts to interact with him.
Furthermore, Luo Cheng’s house was built in a place that was backed by the village. This place was a mountain cove. Apart from this mountain cove, it didn’t lead to anywhere else, so the people in the village rarely came here.
Therefore, no one knew that Luo Cheng had actually built a very large residence in this mountain bay.
In addition, there were many fruit trees and vegetable fields around the residence.
“Luo Cheng, is this really your house?” Li Shun felt like he was in a dream and couldn’t help but ask.
Luo Cheng glanced at Li Shun and replied directly.
“I’m not so muddled that I don’t know my own home!”
With that, Luo Cheng took the lead and walked towards the mansion in Mountain Bay.
Li Xiaoran also looked at everything in front of him and thought of Shangri-La.
He had to admit, this place felt like paradise!
There was a house, fields, and fruit trees.
As long as they were diligent, they wouldn’t have to worry about their livelihood.
As long-term laborers, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu’s eyes lit up when they saw so many fields.
For them, as long as there was land for them to plant, they would be at ease.
As the group approached, they attracted the attention of the mansion guards. Soon, several dogs sprinted out of the depths of the orchard.
As they ran, they barked with a fierce expression.
The one running in front was a mutt with yellow fur.
When it smelled Luo Cheng’s scent, it immediately changed its fierce expression from before. It shook its head and wagged its tail, as if it was trying to please Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng saw the dogs running out and crouched down.
“Big Yellow, they’ll be our family from now on. You have to get used to the smell of them. Don’t hurt them, understand?”
Big Yellow seemed to understand Luo Cheng’s words, so it widened its round eyes and looked at Li Xiaoran’s family on the other side.
“Don’t be afraid. Stay where you are and let Big Yellow and the others sniff you guys. In the future, they won’t be violent to you!” Luo Cheng turned to look at Li Xiaoran and explained.
Li Xiaoran nodded and then glanced at her parents and sister, Li Xiaoqing.
They all nodded. Then Luo Cheng waved at the dogs.
Soon, Big Yellow and its lackeys lined up in a row and started sniffing Li Xiaoran’s family.
As expected, after Big Yellow and the others smelled it, they stopped baring their teeth at the Li family.
“Alright! Big Yellow and the others have already recognized you! Come in with me and settle down!” Luo Cheng said.
At this moment, Big Yellow suddenly bit Luo Cheng’s pants with its mouth and barked at him.
It looked as if it was anxious about something.
Li Xiaoran could also sense Big Yellow’s emotions and said, “Big Yellow must have found something and needs you to take a look!”
As soon as Li Xiaoran finished speaking, Big Yellow nodded.
Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran in surprise.
“You can understand what Big Yellow means?”
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “I can understand most of what it means!”
Luo was genuinely surprised, but he didn’t show it. Instead, he nodded and turned to look at Big Yellow.
“Big Yellow, wait a moment. I’ll follow you after I bring them in!”
Big Yellow understood. It shook its head and tail and led its dog brothers towards the gate of the residence.
Soon, the group entered the house.
“Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, stay in the house here! The room beside it is small, but it’s enough for Li Xiaoqing.” Luo Cheng pointed to the two rooms on the right and said, “There are furniture and furnishings inside. You just need to clean up and put your clothes in!”
As he spoke, Luo Cheng pointed in another direction and introduced, “This is a kitchen. Food is placed in the cabinet. It’s not locked. Go ahead and use the ingredients to make food! There’s a well not far from the back of the kitchen. If you need water, go there and fetch it!”
“The latrine is here. There’s also a vegetable field at the back. If you need to eat any vegetables, you can plant them yourself in the future. That’s about it. Since you’ve moved in, treat this place as your home. You can use the ingredients prepared in the kitchen as you wish. Leave some breakfast for me. I’ll follow Big Yellow and take a look before coming back!” As he spoke, Luo Cheng turned around and was about to leave.
Li Xiaoran wanted to ask Luo Cheng where she lived, but she was too embarrassed to ask.
Forget it, she could just share a room with her sister!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran carried her bag and pulled Li Xiaoqing towards the room Luo Cheng had mentioned.
“Wait! You live here!” Luo Cheng seemed to have noticed Li Xiaoran’s actions and suddenly stopped in his tracks. He pointed at the house and said, “You’re the wife I exchanged for with the tiger bone!”
As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoran blushed.
She couldn’t help but glare at Luo Cheng. Li Xiaoran wanted to say something, but in the end, she held back.
Forget it. At this point, why was she still being so prudish?
Li Shun and Zhao Xiu thought about what had happened today and wanted to say something, but when they opened their mouths, they didn’t say anything.
It had to be known that Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng were now married. Although they didn’t use the big red carriage to get married, it couldn’t erase the fact that the two of them were already married.
“Brother-in-law, don’t worry! My sister is just feeling shy for a moment. When you come back, I guarantee that she will have already moved in!” Li Xiaoqing promised with a smile.
Perhaps this address made Luo Cheng feel very good. He smiled and nodded, then turned around to look for Big Yellow.
After he left, Li Xiaoran looked at her sister.
“You little girl, you’re so sweet. You even called him brother-in-law!” Li Xiaoran said as she poked Li Xiaoqing’s face with her finger.
“Sister, you and Brother-in-law already have a marriage contract. If I don’t call him Brother-in-law, what should I call him?” With that, Li Xiaoqing quickly hid outside and came to Zhao Xiu’s side. She held her mother’s hand and sighed. “Father, Mother, this is the first time in my life that I’ve lived in such a good house!”
