99 Turning Darkness Into Light
Luo Cheng glanced at Li Xiaoran but still hesitated.
“Don’t worry! You forgot that I still have some tricks up my sleeve! There won’t be any mistakes. Don’t hesitate. Hurry up and go out to find him! That’s a human life!” Li Xiaoran persuaded again.
“Alright! Be careful!” Luo Cheng finally nodded. Then, he asked Qin Meizhen where the person had appeared and went to look for him.
After Luo Cheng left, Li Xiaoran quickly closed the courtyard door and called Big Yellow and the others over.
“Big Yellow, bring them around the house and inform me if there’s any movement!” Li Xiaoran patted Big Yellow’s head and said.
Big Yellow barked twice to show that it understood, then brought its dog brothers to patrol.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and then went to call Li Xiaoqing out.
“Xiao Qing, sit in this position. You don’t have to do anything today. You just have to play and observe your surroundings. Tell us if there’s anything unusual! People outside might not be able to see you, but you can definitely see others!”
Seeing that she had been entrusted with an important task by her sister, Li Xiaoqing patted her chest.
“Sister, don’t worry. I’ll definitely watch carefully!”
Li Xiaoran smiled and patted Xiao Qing’s head before looking at Qin Meizhen, who had been following her.
“Miss Qin, why don’t you sit here with my sister?”
Qin Meizhen looked at Li Xiaoqing and then around. In the end, she shook her head.
“Just let me follow you! I’m scared. I only feel safer when I’m with you!”
Li Xiaoran had no choice but to bring her to the kitchen.
“You said you wanted to follow me, so just sit here! I’m going to make something to eat now. Anyway, you won’t be able to leave for a while. It’s more important to fill your stomach first!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll sit here. Do your thing!” Qin Meizhen nodded and said obediently.
Li Xiaoran glanced at her and went straight to the stove.
“What’s wrong? Are you not leaving now?”
“Yes, something happened at the last minute. Luo Cheng went out to look for someone! When he comes back, we can go to town after eating. It’s just that I’m afraid he won’t be back until tomorrow!” Li Xiaoran said.
“It’s fine if he comes back tomorrow!” Zhao Xiu looked at her daughter and said, “Don’t worry! Your father and I aren’t that fragile!”
“I know, but I’ll still worry about you guys!” Li Xiaoran said.
“Silly girl, you’re already married, but you’re still so clingy to your parents. If my son-in-law sees you, he’ll definitely be unhappy!”
“I’m filial to my parents. How can he not be happy about that?! Mother, Luo Cheng looks cold, but he’s actually kind-hearted!” Li Xiaoran praised Luo Cheng.
“Yes, yes, yes. He’s your husband, so he’s naturally the best in your eyes!” Zhao Xiu smiled when she heard her daughter’s words. “Finally, you stroke of luck came and you married a good man. Otherwise, who knows what your father and I would have thought!”
“Mother, you have to live your own life! Don’t worry! I’m a blessed person. I’ll live my life well!” Li Xiaoran said softly as she placed her head on Zhao Xiu’s shoulder.
“Alright, I know my daughter is the best!” Zhao Xiu smiled happily and said, “Stop talking nonsense. Since you want to cook, come quickly! I want to eat your cooking today too!”
“Yes! Yes!” Li Xiaoran teased, then went to wash her hands and started working.
Qin Meizhen had been watching the interaction between Li Xiaoran and her daughter. At this moment, she was envious.
Her biological mother had died when she was very young. Although her stepmother treated her well, they had never interacted so intimately.
In the past, she had always felt that giving her everything she wanted was being good to her.
But now that she thought about it, she was really ridiculously superficial!
“Why don’t we make Twice Cooked Pork today?! I remember that the garlic seedlings in our vegetable garden should be ready to eat!” Li Xiaoran boiled the meat in the pot and thought of something.or
“It seems to be edible! I’ll go get some now!” Zhao Xiu remembered and nodded. As she spoke, she walked towards the vegetable garden at the back.
There were also some eggs at home. Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and went to get a few. She stirred them with her chopsticks and added warm water before stirring them.
After removing the bubbles and adding salt, she placed the bowl of egg liquid on the steaming rice.
Seeing that there was still some pork lean meat left on the plate, Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and simply washed and chopped the meat. Then, she soaked some sweet potato noodles in hot water and planned to make another dish later.
On Zhao Xiu’s side, not only did she bring back some garlic sprouts, but she also brought back some cabbage.
“I’m sweating all over today. Let’s make a bowl of soup to drink!” Zhao Xiu said as she prepared the dishes.
“Sure! Just use meat soup to make cabbage soup!” Li Xiaoran said as she opened the lid of the pot.
Just like that, the meal was arranged.
When Luo Cheng returned with an injured person, he smelled the aroma of food when he walked out of the forest.
“Looks like we came back in time!” Luo Cheng smiled.
Ziyang hesitated when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.
“Young Master, am I really going to follow you from now on?”
Luo Cheng stopped and looked at Ziyang. “Ziyang, you’ve been following me all these years. Although you’re my servant, I’ve actually always treated you as my biological brother! With your body, you aren’t suitable to be my secret guard anymore. It’s better to stay by my side in the open. Coincidentally, I still have many things that I need you to do now! Take care of your body first. In the future, you’ll be busy!”
To be honest, it was naturally better to live directly in front of people.
Seeing that Luo Cheng had already decided, Ziyang nodded.
“Then I’ll listen to your arrangements!”
“Alright! Xiaoran and I still have to go to town today. Stay at home and take care of the family. This way, I won’t have to worry about anyone!” Luo Cheng reminded him.
“Don’t worry, Young Master! I’ll definitely take care of everything at home!” Ziyang promised.
Luo Cheng nodded and patted Ziyang on the shoulder. Then he smiled.
“Let’s go back and meet the family!”
Ziyang grinned when he heard this.
How nice. He had a family too!
As soon as Luo Cheng and Ziyang entered, Li Xiaoqing saw them.
“Father, Mother, Sister, Brother-in-law has brought someone back!”
Hearing Li Xiaoqing’s voice, Luo Cheng looked in the direction of the voice and immediately laughed.
“This girl is quite good at finding a place to hide!”
