Chapter 248 - 248 Knowing
248 Knowing
Li Xiaoran liked to eat moderately hard rice noodles that were not too hard or too soft.
The minced meat that Jin Xiaojing made was made with green pepper. It had a special sesame aroma.
There was a lot of cured meat at home, so Jin Xiaojing cooked it and made it into minced meat.
There was the aroma of the cured meat, coupled with the sesame smell of the green pepper, coming from the bowl of rice noodles.
After having such a bowl so early in the morning, she felt energized.
Jin Xiaojing and Tan Wan cooked a bowl for Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing before letting the two children eat first.
Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing didn’t stand on ceremony with their aunts. They moved small stools to the small square table at the side and started chatting.
After that, many people got up one after another. Everyone started eating bowls of steaming hot rice noodles after washing up. Life seemed good.
Zhao Huaishan carried the rice noodles and called his two sons to the side. The three of them talked about something.
In any case, as Zhao Huaishan spoke, Zhao Long and Zhao Liang nodded.
Later on, Zhao Long and Zhao Liang rushed out after eating the rice noodles.
When Li Xiaoran saw this, she looked at her grandfather, Zhao Huaishan.
“Grandpa, did you ask Second Uncle and Third Uncle to resolve the trouble we’re in?”
Zhao Huaishan glanced at Li Xiaoran and smiled.
“You used to be quiet, but now, you’ve become cheerful and shrewd!”
“Of course. I naturally inherited your abilities! Don’t change the topic. You haven’t answered the question I asked you just now!” Li Xiaoran continued to ask.
Zhao Huaishan looked at his granddaughter and knew that she wasn’t easy to fool, so he didn’t hide it anymore.
“Over the years, I’ve contributed a lot to the village. Aren’t they just two eagle chicks? I believe that with my grandfather’s reputation, this matter will pass!”
“Grandpa, you lied to me again! This matter won’t be resolved so easily!” Li Xiaoran shook her head and said seriously, “Grandpa, do you know the old man with a black mole on his cheek who came with the village chief yesterday?”
Zhao Huaishan thought about it carefully.
“Are you talking about that old man, Huang Hong? Ignore him. That old man is a petty person!”
“Grandpa, this petty person you’re talking about is the most difficult to deal with. The others actually don’t have much of a reaction to us obtaining the eagle chicks. Only this person called Huang Hong looks at me and Luo Cheng with scrutiny and greed. If I’m not wrong, the other party definitely won’t let this go!” Li Xiaoran knew that her grandfather was highly regarded in the village, so she told him what she had sensed.
Zhao Huaishan looked at Li Xiaoran in surprise and recalled carefully.
That old man, Huang Hong, had sat there without saying a word yesterday, so Zhao Huaishan had not paid attention to him.
Could it be that Huang Hong really had ill intentions?
“Got it! Let’s wait for your two uncles to return first! If Huang Hong really has ill intentions, your two uncles’ trip will be in vain!” Zhao Huaishan said.
“Grandpa, it’s fine as long as you know! There are many things that we still have to discuss together! There’s strength in numbers. If we think of a solution together, we can be more prepared!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said.
“Alright, you’re already married, but you still keep worrying. Be careful that Luo Cheng won’t like you anymore!” Zhao Huaishan teased.
“He won’t despise me! Losing me would be his greatest loss!” Li Xiaoran said proudly.
“That’s right. My granddaughter should have such confidence!” Seeing that Li Xiaoran was so confident, Zhao Huaishan liked his granddaughter even more.
In Zhao Huaishan’s opinion, the children of the Zhao family should be like Li Xiaoran. No matter what they did, they had to do it confidently.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Long and Zhao Liang returned.
Looking at the expressions of his two sons, Zhao Huaishan understood something.
It seemed that his granddaughter had been right.
“Father, the village hasn’t relented!” Zhao Long said with an ugly expression.
“That’s right! Actually, the village chief and the others didn’t object to your suggestion, but some people insisted that Xiaoran and Luo Cheng stay!” Zhao Liang said angrily.
Because Zhao Huaishan already knew what to do, he wasn’t angry. Instead, he was thinking about what to do next.
“Father, why are you so calm? Could it be that you expected that the people in the village would refuse to relent?” Zhao Long asked when he saw that his father wasn’t surprised at all.
“That’s right, Father! Could it be that you expected this?” Zhao Liang asked in confusion.
“I didn’t expect it. After you guys left, Xiaoran found me and said that the village wouldn’t let them off so easily. Xiaoran also said that Huang Hong, who came with the village chief yesterday, looked at them strangely. Xiaoran even reminded me to be careful!” Zhao Huaishan sighed and said.
“Xiaoran said that?” Zhao Liang was dumbfounded and in disbelief. “Dad, Xiaoran is still so young!”
“It seems that Xiaoran has come to her senses after escaping death!” Zhao Long said thoughtfully.
“That’s right! After such a huge incident, it would be strange if she didn’t come to her senses! Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s think about how to resolve the matter of these two eagle chicks!” Zhao Huaishan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, two eagle chicks descended from the sky and flew towards Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng before landing on their shoulders.
What was even more surprising was that the two eagle cubs actually changed positions at the same time.
Yesterday, they were standing on Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng’s right shoulders. Today, they changed to their left shoulders, as if they were being considerate towards Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.
When Zhao Long and Zhao Liang’s families returned yesterday, they only cared about introducing each other and didn’t size up the two eagle chicks.
At this moment, the sky was bright, so everyone stared at the eagle cubs on their shoulders.
Zhao Long and Zhao Liang couldn’t help but surround them and size up the two eagle chicks.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I finally know why those people in the village are unwilling to give up! Look at these two eagle chicks. They will definitely be the kings of eagles in the future! Look at their sharp eyes and their strong claws. Who wouldn’t be envious?!” Zhao Liang said what was on his mind.
