Chapter 71
71 You Will Thank Me One Day
Luo Cheng nodded and then gestured for Li Xiaoran to speak.
“The contract is signed on the 2nd day of the new year. Wang Mingjiang broke Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng’s jade pendant in Spring Love restaurant. It’s worth 2,000 taels of silver. Because Wang Mingjiang can’t repay it, he signed the contract. From today onwards, Wang Mingjiang will work at Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng’s house to earn money to pay off his debts. When he earns 2,000 taels of silver to pay off his debts, he will be able to obtain freedom! The contractors are Wang Mingjiang, Li Xiaoran, and Luo Cheng.”
Luo Cheng wrote down what Li Xiaoran said and copied it on another paper.
“Come! Let’s stamp together!” Li Xiaoran picked up the mud and placed it in front of Wang Mingjiang.
Wang Mingjiang was stunned for a moment. Before he could decide if he wanted to stamp his fingerprint, Luo Cheng pulled Wang Mingjiang’s hand over. After staining it with ink, he pressed his fingerprint on the two contracts.
After that, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng also pressed their fingerprints.
From then on, the contract took effect. Wang Mingjiang was successfully set up by Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.
After the three of them sat down, Wang Mingjiang came back to his senses.
He slapped his thigh and felt pain. Wang Mingjiang was completely awake.
“You, you!” With that, Wang Mingjiang reached out and pointed at Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.
Li Xiaoran looked at Wang Mingjiang and couldn’t help but laugh.
Luo Cheng couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw Li Xiaoran smiling so happily.
He didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to have such a sly side.
Looking at the hopeless Wang Mingjiang, Luo Cheng reached out and patted Wang Mingjiang’s other shoulder like Li Xiaoran did before.
“Believe me, many years later, you won’t regret being tricked today! You’ll even thank the heavens that you were tricked today!”
Wang Mingjiang thought, “What the hell?! How stupid would I be to thank someone for blackmailing me today after so many years?!”
No matter what, things had already come to this. Wang Mingjiang didn’t really intend to go back on his word.
Looking at Li Xiaoran, Wang Mingjiang felt that she was sent by his sister.
This was because Li Xiaoran gave off a feeling that was similar to that of his sister.
With that, the three of them ate and left together.
After they left, the owner walked towards the innermost private room on the second floor.
“Boss, I’ve already found out about the matter! Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng are villagers from Hele Village in Golden Sun Town. Luo Cheng is a hunter, and Li Xiaoran is the wife Luo Cheng exchanged for from the Li family of Hele Village with two tiger bones. However, at the beginning, Luo Cheng wanted to marry the woman called Li Yan from the Li family. In the end, Li Yan was unwilling, so the Li family wanted to use a substitute and let Li Xiaoran marry him. Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng saw through this matter. In the end, although he agreed to the substitute marriage, he proposed to let Li Xiaoran’s parents and sister move to his home as well!” The shopkeeper told him everything he had heard.
In the private room, Ning Ziwei, who was in a wheelchair, smiled when he heard this.
“It seems that Luo Cheng has good taste. In the end, he chose an interesting person like Li Xiaoran! Originally, I only came to Golden Sun Town to relax. I didn’t expect to meet such an interesting person. It seems that I made the right choice to come to Golden Sun Town!”
The owner smiled when he heard Ning Ziwei’s words.
“If you’re interested, why don’t you go to the official road outside Hele Village tomorrow? I heard that Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng set up a noodle stall on the official road. They sell knife-cut noodles that taste very good. Everyone who has eaten their knife-cut noodles likes them very much. Almost everyone says that their knife-cut noodles there are tasty!”
Ning Ziwei raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment before saying, “We’ll see! When I have the urge, I might go!”
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng naturally didn’t know that someone had noticed them. At this moment, the two of them brought Wang Mingjiang out and called an ox cart to take away all the things they had bought today.
While sitting on an ox cart with a pile of things, Wang Mingjiang was also carrying a bag. He looked in the direction of the road with a blank expression.
Li Xiaoran unintentionally noticed Wang Mingjiang’s expression. She thought for a moment and said, “Have you ever thought that the reason you encountered such pain and unhappiness is because the heavens prepared a huge gift for you? And if you want to accept this gift from the heavens, you have to experience these hardships before you can accept this gift?”
Thinking of this, Wang Mingjiang shook his head and said, “If I lose my sister in exchange for this gift, I’d rather not!”
“Fate is not something you can choose yourself! If you want to have more power, you have to become stronger! Otherwise, you will always be a weakling. You can only be exploited by others! Is such a life what you want?” Li Xiaoran asked.
Wang Mingjiang was momentarily at a loss for words!
“Think about it! By the way, don’t think about dying. If you die, I’ll find a priest or a monk to summon your soul back and torture you! If you don’t believe me, you can try!”
After saying this, Li Xiaoran ignored Wang Mingjiang.
Although she wanted to save him, she had no choice if he still acted like he wanted to die.
No matter what, if one couldn’t stand up on their own, it was useless no matter how others helped.
Therefore, whether Wang Mingjiang could pull himself together or not would ultimately depend on himself.
After Luo Cheng heard their conversation, his eyes never left Li Xiaoran.
To be honest, what Li Xiaoran had said and said made him feel that Li Xiaoran wasn’t an ordinary farm girl.
Her knowledge and thoughts weren’t like those of girls from well-off families either.
At this moment, Luo Cheng was really curious. How did the wife he married become like this?
To be honest, if not for Li Xiaoran’s face, he would have suspected that she had changed into another person.
Li Xiaoran naturally noticed Luo Cheng’s gaze. As if sensing something, Li Xiaoran smiled.
“Husband, don’t be too curious about me! The more curious you are about me, the more you will fall for me in the future!”
Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“Are you so confident that you can attract my attention?”
“Of course!” Li Xiaoran said confidently.
She, an independent and confident woman from the modern era, was an attractive woman no matter where she went!
She was very confident about that!
