Chapter 331: Chapter 331 Erlaizi Chapter 331: Chapter 331 Erlaizi “What’s the big deal, let it go, just a few damned buns, not like I’ve never had them before. My house is full of them.” As the steamed pork buns that were almost in her grasp flew away, Lady Li felt both regret and helplessness. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she couldn’t afford to lose face, so she had to leave sullenly.
In the crowd, a figure had been watching Lady Li, and the moment she left, followed her quietly.
As Lady Li walked towards her home, she cursed bitterly, “Xuexue, that wretched girl, so capable at such a young age. Serves her right to end up with a fool for a husband; it’s her karma.”
After saying that, she spat on the ground and left with a face full of anger.
Just as she was about to pass the Small Bamboo Forest ahead and then two more alleys to reach her home, she heard a noise from behind. Lady Li turned around and saw Erlaizi from the village. She didn’t take it seriously and continued walking forward…
“Sis, sis, wait a moment.”
Erlaizi was shouting at her from behind.
“What is it?” Lady Li turned around impatiently. Erlaizi had a bad reputation in the village, and she didn’t want to get too close to him to avoid gossip.
Erlaizi, with a sly grin, caught up and waved a few pork buns in his hand, smiling obsequiously, “I saw that you didn’t get any buns just now, so I brought these especially for you.”
Upon seeing them, Lady Li’s eyes lit up. These were good stuff. Just as she was about to reach out and take them, she hesitated and said warily, “We’re neither relatives nor friends, why would you give me buns?”
“Sis, what are you talking about? We’re all from the same village. As the saying goes, distant relatives aren’t as good as near neighbors. We’re neighbors after all, it’s only right for me to be nice to you.” Erlaizi, unusually clever for once, spoke persuasively.
Lady Li thought about it and felt justified in taking the pork buns from him.
She took a bite and as the juice oozed out, she closed her eyes in enjoyment, murmuring, “Mmm, there’s nothing like a pork bun. The taste is just different, so delicious, too delicious.”
“Sis, you love eating pork buns, huh?”
“Isn’t that obvious? Who doesn’t love pork buns?”
“If sis loves them, I’ll often buy them for you to eat, how about that?” Erlaizi leaned in, his face full of flattery.
Since the last time he had impersonated her husband and surprised her at her home, he had been obsessed with Lady Li’s body, always thinking about when he could have a second go. He had been following Lady Li for several days, and hadn’t found a single opportunity. Seeing her drool over those buns, he eagerly ran to win her favor.
Lady Li looked at him with suspicion and said, “You buying them for me? Am I hearing you right?”
“Sis, you’re such a good person, it’s only right that I buy them for you.”
“You aren’t asking me for a favor, are you?” Lady Li tilted her head, scrutinizing him. She didn’t believe that pies fall from the sky.
“Sis, I’ve been thinking of settling down, just wanted you to find me a good matchmaker to arrange a good marriage, that’s all.”
Erlaizi was just making excuses. In fact, he didn’t have any silver to get married; he was merely scheming to lower Lady Li’s guard so he could take advantage of her again.
Upon hearing this, Lady Li glanced at him and thought, Who, you? With that poor look, dreaming of getting married, are you? However, since she had accepted his food, it was difficult to outright say no.
