Chapter 335: Chapter 335 Erlaizi Chapter 335: Chapter 335 Erlaizi Some villagers who frequently visited the town recognized him at a glance as Shopkeeper Fan from Xiaohe Restaurant, and immediately began whispering to one another, “Do you know? He is the wealthiest townsman in town, the Shopkeeper of Xiaohe Restaurant.”
The crowd was astounded–it seemed that Xuexue’s family was on the rise in Mo Family Village, having made acquaintances with such a wealthy person.
“Oh my, Xuexue is really lucky to know such a wealthy person, huh?”
“Wasn’t it because of that garlic shoots incident last time that caught Shopkeeper Fan’s eye? That’s how Xuexue’s family is going to get rich.”
Everyone suddenly realized, and their envy towards Xuexue and her family was unbearable.
Knowing that a reputable and wealthy person had come to their village, the village head and the Elders hastily stood up to greet him.
Big Bull was left to attend to them.
Madam Xie and Xuexue hurried out and prepared another banquet table for them, anew inviting the village head, the Elders, and Shopkeeper Fan to sit together, chat, and drink. After all, in their eyes, Shopkeeper Fan was a significant figure; if they didn’t introduce him, the village head and the Elders might hold grudges. Xuexue, with her knowledge from a past life, understood this point very clearly.
At last, after finishing the meal, the banquet dissolved.
Shopkeeper Fan then bid farewell to Xuexue, Big Bull, and the others, boarded his carriage, and rushed back to town.
After a day of festivities, Mo Family Village quieted down as the feast ended and the guests gradually left.
Under the dimly lit village path, a sneaky shadow carefully made its way to a dilapidated house.
While her husband slept, Lady Li, with her heart in her throat, finally stepped out of her house and came to Erlaizi’s doorstep. Before she could even knock, the door silently opened…
Erlaizi: “Big sister, you finally came, I was so anxious.”
“I’ve been waiting for you all night,” Erlaizi said as he tried to reach for her hand.
“What are you doing? Don’t touch me!” Lady Li swatted his hand away in disgust.
“Big sister, I visited your house the other night.”
Upon hearing this, Lady Li was thunderstruck and froze in place; the man from that night was Erlaizi.
This despicable man, how sinister! He had taken advantage of her while her husband was away.
“It was you?” Lady Li said through gritted teeth.
“You scoundrel, taking advantage and not keeping it a secret, and you dare call me over?”
“I genuinely love you, big sister, and want to be your husband.”
“Nonsense, I have a husband.”
“I mind. My husband is very good to me. Go stay cool where you are!”
“No matter, now that you’ve come, don’t think about leaving.”
“So you tricked me into coming here.” At that moment, Lady Li realized the trap.
“So what if I did.” Erlaizi sneered, grabbing her in a hug.
Summoning strength from who knows where, Lady Li pushed him away with all her might and dashed toward the door.
This Erlaizi was too sinister, acting as if nothing had happened while taking her advantage and luring her here with ill intentions.
No, she had to escape immediately.
Lady Li thought of nothing else and just ran and ran.
In the pitch dark, she lost count of how many times she fell, but she scrambled up in a panic and kept running.
At that moment, Lady Li felt like her two legs weren’t enough, wishing her parents had given her a few more to escape the scoundrel behind her.
