The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady Chapter 197

Chapter 197

197 The Changed Qin Meizhen

“Actually!” At this point, Li Xiaoran thought of something. “As long as there’s fish, our family can make a lot of other food to sell! Therefore, as long as there’s fish, our way of doing business can vary. For example, we can roast fis.h.!.+ It’s not a bad idea to fry small fish into dried fish to eat!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately laughed.

“That’s right. I was too short-sighted!”

To be honest, at this point, Luo Cheng already understood Li Xiaoran’s intentions.

The reason Li Xiaoran raised this idea was to help the disabled soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield.

No matter what the outcome would be, it was already good enough for her to have this intention.

When He Houfa heard their conversation, he immediately thought of something.

He Houfa had been with Luo Cheng for a long time and naturally knew who those people were.

Speaking of which, He Houfa had also retired from the battlefield.

When He Houfa heard that Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran were actually doing business to help the seriously injured soldiers, He Houfa was immediately filled with grat.i.tude.

“Young Master, is it what I think? Can those brothers of ours settle down?” He Houfa confirmed.

Luo Cheng looked at the emotional Uncle He and nodded.

“That’s great! Madam, I’ll thank you on behalf of those brothers!” He Houfa stood up and bowed to Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran was shocked. She wanted to help He Houfa up, but she felt that it was inappropriate and could only look at Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng quickly helped He Houfa up and persuaded him, “Uncle He, don’t be like this! Are you trying to make us juniors feel guilty?”

He Houfa smiled when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.

“No, no! You guys are doing a good deed!”

“Uncle He, don’t be so emotional. You’re scaring me. Hurry up and eat something!” Li Xiaoran quickly picked up a meatball from the ca.s.serole and placed it in He Houfa’s bowl.

“Uncle He, what we’ve done is insignificant compared to the blood, sweat, and life you’ve sacrificed to protect the country. Don’t do this again next time. You’ll really make me feel guilty!” Li Xiaoran said half seriously and half teasingly.

“That’s right, Uncle He! You’ve done so much for the dynasty, but we’ve only done so little for you! Don’t be so formal with us in the future!” Luo Cheng chimed in.

He Houfa smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.

After that, the three of them went back to eating.

After the ingredients on the table were cleared, the three of them were already full.

It just so happened that there was something he needed to deal with at the wine shop ahead, so he left first.

The cleaning up was left to the women while Luo Cheng led Li Xiaoran around the courtyard for a stroll.

They originally thought that she could rest well today and recuperate so that she could go to the Jin family tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, someone suddenly came to look for Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran could not recognize Qin Meizhen.

“You’re Qin Meizhen! You’ve changed a lot.” Li Xiaoran sized her up for a while and said with a smile.

“Hahaha, Li Xiaoran, how did you recognize me at a glance?! I thought you wouldn’t recognize me!” Qin Meizhen laughed when she saw that Li Xiaoran recognized her.

“Of course I’d recognize you no matter what!” Li Xiaoran teased, “But from the looks of it, you’re probably doing well recently!”

When Qin Meizhen heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she walked over and held her hand. She smiled and nodded.

“That’s right! My uncle and aunt treat me very well. They treat me like their biological daughter! It’s just that they’re too strict sometimes! However, I also know that my uncle and aunt did that for my own good! In the past, I was raised neglected by my stepmother. I still have many major problems, but now, I can only correct them bit by bit! Although it’s difficult to say this, I want to become better, so I can definitely endure it!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Qin Meizhen’s words and thought of the first time she met her, she couldn’t help but sigh.

“Have your father and stepmother found you?” Li Xiaoran asked.

At the mention of this, Qin Meizhen sneered.

“Of course not! My uncle and aunt hid me very well. They couldn’t find me even if they wanted to. Besides, my father and stepmother didn’t look for me at all!”

With that, Qin Meizhen looked at Li Xiaoran.

“I already know what you helped me do! Li Xiaoran, thank you. Thank you for not only saving me twice, but also for helping me fight for justice! You’re the first friend I’ve met in this world!”

Li Xiaoran did not expect Qin Meizhen to misunderstand what she had done.

She wanted to explain that she didn’t really care about her but had another motive?

Li Xiaoran naturally could not say this. Otherwise, it would be so hurtful!

Besides, the little girl in front of her was finally going to change for the better. If she went to pour cold water on her at this critical moment, wouldn’t she become evil?

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran smiled and reached out to pat Qin Meizhen’s hand.

“Don’t say that. Even if others encountered such a thing, they would stand up for you!”

“No, only you! Only you really care about me! Li Xiaoran, thank you. I’m really glad that I got to know you!” Qin Meizhen said with red eyes.

She might not be able to see through others, but she could feel Li Xiaoran’s kindness.

The second time she was saved by Li Xiaoran, she clearly felt what sincerity was.

Everyone took care of her feelings. They comforted her and persuaded her.

For the first time, she felt the warmth of others’ concern for Li Xiaoran and her family.

Therefore, Li Xiaoran was her benefactor!

If not for Li Xiaoran, she might have been sold to a bad place and lived a miserable life.

“Alright! Didn’t you already thank me previously? Aren’t you being too polite now? You already said that we’ll be friends in the future, so don’t say thank you! Friends have to support each other! It’s only right for me to save you if you’re in trouble!” Li Xiaoran said.

Qin Meizhen nodded and said seriously, “Don’t worry, if you’re in trouble in the future, I’ll try my best to save you!”

Hearing this, Li Xiaoran was amused.

Li Xiaoran reached out and tapped Qin Meizhen’s forehead with her finger before rolling her eyes at her.

“Can’t you expect me to be lucky?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I said the wrong thing! You will be happy for the rest of her life!” Qin Meizhen realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to salvage the situation.
