Zhao Xiu felt that this was a good idea and immediately agreed.
“Husband, you’re right. We’ll be a burden to our daughter and son-in-law if we stay here. Why don’t we go to White Foothill City to take a look? We can also avoid trouble this way!”
Speaking of which, Zhao Xiu also felt that she had been in the village for too long and should go out to take a look.
Now that his daughter and son-in-law were at home, he wasn’t afraid that his youngest daughter wouldn’t have anyone to take care of her.
Therefore, the couple discussed it and immediately made a decision.
The next morning, the couple packed their things and told Li Xiao Qing. After they went to tell their eldest daughter, Li Xiaoran, the two of them took the ox cart straight to town.
Li Xiaoran was amused by her mother’s actions.
Luo Cheng felt that it was a good thing that his parents-in-law had left.
“Don’t worry! I’ve already arranged for someone to protect Father and Mother. I won’t let anyone disturb them. Father and Mother have been busy for so long, so let them go out and relax! Let Xiao Qing move in directly! She can move into the room she used to live in!”
Li Xiaoran nodded. That was the only solution.
Li Xiaoqing was the happiest one when she heard about this.
Li Xiaoqing was overjoyed that she could finally live with her sister.
Although Li Xiaoqing was busy with the shop during the day and had to take time to practice, being able to eat dinner and talk with her sister was nice as well!
Li Xiaoran was also happy to be able to live with her sister. After talking for a while, Li Xiaoran sent Li Xiaoqing to the shop.
“Cook me a bowl of sliced noodles today! Let me see if your cooking has deteriorated!”
Li Xiaoqing nodded with a smile and immediately went to wash her hands. Then, she began to peel and cook the noodles.
Before long, a bowl of sliced noodles was served.
Today, Li Xiaoran asked for a bowl of braised pork and sliced noodles.
The cabbages that had been cooked in the past had now been replaced with spinach. At a glance, the food looked quite appetizing.
Li Xiaoran picked up her chopsticks and took a bite before nodding. “Not bad. It tastes better than before!”
After receiving her sister’s praise, Li Xiaoqing smiled happily.
“Of course I can’t ruin your business!”
Zhao Sisi watched the sisters talk enviously.
When Li Xiaoran saw Zhao Sisi, she waved at her.
“Sister Sisi, what about you? Have you improved your culinary skills?”
Zhao Sisi said awkwardly, “I’m not bad!”
Li Xiaoran teased with a smile, “Not bad? That’s very good!”
Mao Dao suddenly praised, “Sister Sisi’s sliced noodles are very delicious! The customers like them very much!”
After Li Xiaoran looked at Zhao Sisi and then at Mao Dao, she suddenly realized something.
After sensing Mao Dao’s emotions carefully, Li Xiaoran looked at Mao Dao meaningfully.
Previously, she hadn’t noticed that Mao Dao had designs on her cousin, Zhao Sisi.
Li Xiaoran really didn’t know what to say about these two.
Mao Dao was a good person, but for him to become her cousin-in-law, he seemed to be a little lacking!
It wasn’t that Li Xiaoran looked down on Mao Dao, but she felt that he wasn’t levelheaded enough.
Li Xiaoran thought more highly of Yuan Cheng.
Mao Dao might have been doted on by his family since he was young. If Zhao Sisi really married him, she would probably suffer=!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran looked at Zhao Sisi.
At this moment, Zhao Sisi didn’t notice Mao Dao’s feelings for her at all and her mind was filled with thoughts on how to prove her culinary skills.
Zhao Sisi said, “Why don’t you come to the shop tomorrow, Sister Ran? I’ll make a bowl of sliced noodles for you to try!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she glanced at Mao Dao and smiled.
“Alright! I’ll come over tomorrow morning. When the time comes, make a bowl of sliced noodles for me! If I think it tastes good, you can graduate. At that time, you can consider whether to set up your own stall elsewhere to sell sliced noodles to earn money!”
As soon as she said this, not only was Zhao Sisi shocked, but even Mao Dao was shocked.
He had just made up his mind and had yet to woo her. What would he do if she left before that?
Zhao Sisi, on the other hand, was very worried. She wondered if it was because her cousin was fed up with her because of her brother and didn’t want her to work here anymore.
Therefore, she was a little afraid, but she didn’t dare to ask anything.
Li Xiaoran sensed Zhao Sisi’s thoughts and explained,
“Sisi, don’t worry. I’m not chasing you away! You’re welcome to stay here, but if you want to earn more money, you can go out and open a food stall yourself. I respect your plans! If you have any plans in the future, feel free to say them. Don’t be afraid! It doesn’t matter if you’re wrong. I won’t criticize you!”
When Zhao Sisi heard Li Xiaoran’s words, the fear in her heart dissipated. Only then did she say embarrassedly, “Xiaoran, I haven’t thought it through yet! Let me think about it before I tell you!”
Li Xiaoran explained again, “Alright! If you need any help, just tell me! Eldest Cousin is Eldest Cousin, and you’re you. I won’t take my anger out on you because of Eldest Cousin!
Zhao Sisi nodded and didn’t say anything else.
Mao Dao was so anxious that he looked dispirited when selling steamed buns later. When Yuan Cheng saw Mao Dao like this and saw that his gaze would land on Zhao Sisi from time to time, he found an opportunity to pull Mao Dao to the side.
Yuan Cheng asked directly, “Mao Dao, tell me honestly, are you having designs on Miss Zhao?”
“I have feelings for her. I don’t have designs on her! Yuan Cheng, do you think tne znao tamuy Will agree to tms marriage It I let my parents go to tne znao family to propose marriage?” Mao Dao asked when he saw that Yuan Cheng had already discovered his thoughts.
Yuan Cheng pondered for a moment and replied, “Logically speaking, the Zhao family should agree! After all, your family’s conditions aren’t bad. I just don’t know what Miss Zhao’s family is thinking! In the past, you could have gone to talk to Xiaoran and asked her to investigate. But now that I think about it, you must not let Xiaoran probe into this matter for you. Think about it, Mrs. Li said a few more words about Zhao Lijun’s marriage previously, but then the two families had a conflict. It’s a lesson learned!”
When Mao Dao heard Yuan Cheng’s reminder, he remembered this matter. “Do you think Miss Zhao’s parents rejected this marriage because of Xiaoran?”
