265 A Letter
“Here, swallow it!” Luo Ziyang brought the medicine that Luo Cheng had made to Third Master Xue.
Third Master Xue looked up at Luo Ziyang.
“What medicine is it?”
Seeing that Third Master Xue clearly took advantage of Luo Cheng but didn’t know anything and even asked about medicine, Luo Ziyang felt frustrated.
To be honest, Luo Ziyang really felt sorry for his brother.
But his brother was right. It was best if their ties could be severed with this pill.
“It’s up to you whether you want to eat it or not. If you want to walk out of here, take this medicine! My brother said that this medicine will be exchanged with your jade cabbage pendant. From now on, you have nothing to do with him. Even if you encounter him again in the future, treat him as a passerby!”
With that, Luo Ziyang put down the medicine and turned to leave.
“By the way, after you take the medicine, you can leave! No one will stop you!”
With that, Luo Ziyang left.
Third Master Xue looked at the pill in front of him and already understood something.
Although he had obtained what he wanted, he wasn’t happy at all at this moment.
He had bought his life with the jade cabbage pendant.
He knew better than anyone what this meant.
He knew what Luo Cheng meant.
He didn’t acknowledge their family at all.
Forget it! They owed him anyway.
Thinking of this, Third Master Xue picked up the medicine and consumed it.
Not long after, Third Master Xue felt pain in his stomach and quickly rushed into the latrine by the straw hut.
As a stench emanated, Third Master Xue felt his body become more and more relaxed.
After the poison in his stomach was excreted, Third Master Xue felt his internal strength return.
Third Master Xue was delighted and his eyes lit up.
Previously, he felt that he wouldn’t live long after being poisoned by that.
The poison was too powerful. It couldn’t be seen from the outside, but the poisoned person could feel the poison spreading throughout his body.
The clear feeling of death approaching really drove him.
When he thought of this, ruthlessness flashed across Third Master Xue’s face.
It was time for Yu Baifeng to give him an explanation!
Thinking of this, Third Master Xue went to pack his things.
Actually, he had nothing to pack, but before he left, he wanted to say something to him.
Luo Cheng probably wouldn’t see him again, but there were still some things he had to say.
Fortunately, there was a pen and paper in the straw hut, so after Third Master Xue was done grinding the ink, he picked up the pen and wrote quickly.
After the letter was written, Third Master Xue waited until the ink on the letter was completely dry before stuffing it into the envelope. Then, he wrote some words to Luo Cheng.
After using something to press it down, Third Master Xue looked around reluctantly and finally left.
While facing the light and feeling the warmth of the sun, Third Master Xue felt very calm.
There were some things he had to ask about to get an explanation for his cousin and himself.
After this matter was over, if he was lucky enough to survive, he would definitely come back!
After Third Master Xue left, Luo Cheng also obtained the letter he had left behind.
However, Luo Cheng didn’t open the letter for a long time.
“Read it! You’ll regret it if you don’t! You can’t make up for your previous regrets, but at least you won’t have any regrets in the future!” Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng and said.
With that, Li Xiaoran excused herself and left to cook.
Luo Cheng looked at the letter in his hand and took many deep breaths. In the end, he decided to open it.
“Luo Cheng, I know that my father owes my aunt an apology! It’s just that he no longer has the chance to repent! I also know your intention of using medicine to exchange for the jade cabbage pendant. You don’t want to have anything to do with us, nor do you want us to appear in your life. I understand all of this! If I can come back alive, I’ll go through the ends of the earth with you! As a son, I should pay back the debt my father owes. Whether you accept it or not, in my heart, you’re my cousin! Thank you, cousin! You gave me a motive to live on!”
After Luo Cheng read this, he held the letter in his hand and looked out at the sun for a long time.
Finally, Luo Cheng put this letter away and his emotions returned to normal.
Li Xiaoran didn’t ask if Luo Cheng read the letter or not in the end. Instead, she made a bowl of pot potatoes.
The potatoes were peeled and fried in vegetable oil. Then, some salt, chili noodles, peppercorn noodles, and cumin powder were added. Finally, a handful of spring onions and ossuary were sprinkled on for seasoning. It smelled so delicious that it made the children drool.
Li Shun, who was making cabinets at the side, was immediately attracted by this aroma.
After putting down the tools in his hand, Li Shun went to wash his hands and searched for the source of the aroma.
“Daughter, what are you cooking?”
When Li Xiaoran heard her father’s voice, she laughed.
“Father, I’m making pot potatoes! There’s a pot here. I’ve already seasoned it. Try it first!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing, who had gone to the village, also came to the kitchen.
“Sister, what are you cooking behind our backs?” Li Xiaoqing rushed in and asked.
“I didn’t eat it behind your backs. I thought about how you and Mother would be back soon, so I made this for you guys to try?! I plan to add pot potatoes to our shop’s menu. This is more filling and convenient to eat.” As Li Xiaoran spoke, she took out a few plates and scooped some for everyone.
When there was delicious food, they naturally didn’t forget their family. Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang were quickly called over, then everyone ate together.
“I didn’t expect potatoes to be so tasty after being fried!” Luo Ziyang fell in love with the taste after taking a bite. “We’ve eaten potatoes and taros in the past, but unfortunately, they were all boiled or steamed. They’re not as tasty as fried potatoes!”
“How can it not taste good? It was fried with a lot of oil!” Zhao Xiu said with heartache.
Although there was no shortage of oil at home now, Zhao Xiu still felt that it was too wasteful to fry potatoes with lard.
“Then are we still selling this?” Li Xiaoqing, who was eating with her head lowered, suddenly looked up and asked, “Pot potatoes are really delicious!”
Li Xiaoran didn’t think about how expensive lard was, so after her mother said it, she also thought about the problem of oil.
They naturally couldn’t use lard to do business. Then, should they consider using vegetable oil?
“Father, are there many people planting rapeseed in our village this year?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.
“There’s a lot! In Sichuan, apart from lard, we also eat a lot of vegetable oil. Vegetable seed oil is much cheaper than pork!” Li Shun replied.
