The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Are You Yuan Cheng?

While Li Xiaoran was thinking about setting up the stall on a rainy day, the group of people opposite her actually split the items according to how much they paid and left one after another.

In the end, only Mao Dao and Yuan Cheng were left.

They left a bag of sorghum ground powder beside them, nothing else.

“Yuan Cheng, take this bag of sorghum noodles! At least I won’t go hungry when I go back, but you’re different! Your aunt has always disliked you. Now that you haven’t earned any money, there’s no telling how she’ll mock you! Take these back. At least you can cook them yourself to fill your stomach!” Mao Dao thought for a moment and said.

Yuan Cheng didn’t expect that Mao Dao, who was usually the most distant from him, would actually help him in times of need. He didn’t even want his sorghum noodles.

It was often said that men didn’t cry easily. However, after Yuan Cheng received Mao Dao’s good intentions, he could no longer hold back his grievance and his eyes turned red.

“I’ll borrow this sorghum noodles! I’ll definitely earn money to pay you back in the future!”

Mao Dao looked at Yuan Cheng and felt upset.

He reached out and patted Yuan Cheng’s shoulder. This action pulled at Mao Dao’s waist, causing him to crack in pain.

“What’s wrong? Does your waist still hurt? You should quickly go back and see a doctor!” Yuan Cheng saw Mao Dao grimacing and knew that he must have been injured previously, so he asked with concern.

“It’s fine. I’ll be fine after resting for two days! On the other hand, why don’t you go to town and find a job?! Instead of staying in the village and being disliked by your aunt and uncle, you might as well go to town!” Mao Dao thought of something and suggested.

Yuan Cheng smiled bitterly and waved his hand. “Do you think I haven’t thought about it? There are too many people going to town to do work. I don’t have any strength and I look a little aggressive. Even being a waiter, I will scare the customers away. What can I do?”

“I actually went to town to try before. It was useless. No one hired me to work!” Yuan Cheng said with a depressed expression.

Mao Dao couldn’t think of any good ideas at this moment, so he could only sigh.

On the other side, Li Xiaoqing heard their conversation and immediately remembered something.

After coming to Li Xiaoran’s side, Li Xiaoqing said softly, “Sister, can we help that person called Yuan Cheng?”

When Li Xiaoran heard her sister’s words, she looked at her in surprise.

“You really want to help him?”

Seeing her sister’s puzzled expression, Li Xiaoqing reminded her, “Sister, you forgot! Once, when Mother went to the mountains to pick firewood, she sprained her ankle. At that time, the sky was dark and it was about to rain heavily. If Mother didn’t come home in time, she would definitely get sick from the rain. Fortunately, she met someone called Yuan Cheng. After seeing that Mother was injured, he helped Mother carry the firewood. Then, he chopped a bamboo stick for Mother and brought her down the mountain. On the way, they ran into Father, so Mother was able to rush home before the rain!”

After hearing her sister’s words, Li Xiaoran really found this incident in the Host’s memories.

At that time, in order not to let others gossip, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu didn’t mention Yuan Cheng when they returned. They only said that Li Shun had found Zhao Xiu and brought her back.

However, in private, Zhao Xiu remembered Yuan Cheng’s kindness. She even told her two daughters that if they met a guy called Yuan Cheng next time, they should help him as much as they could!

“It’s him!” Li Xiaoran said in realization, “Are you sure you didn’t get the wrong person?”

“I don’t think so! We’ll know if we ask!” Li Xiaoqing said uncertainly.

“Alright, let’s ask first. If it’s true, let’s help!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said.

Li Xiaoqing nodded and walked to the other side. She looked at the two people sitting and asked, “Which one of you is Yuan Cheng?”

When Mao Dao and Yuan Cheng saw Li Xiaoqing walking over, they immediately became vigilant.

“What do you want to do? We’re not doing anything bad anymore!” Mao Dao said fearfully.

Yuan Cheng also looked at Li Xiaoqing defensively, completely unaware of why Li Xiaoqing was looking for her.

“I’m not here to cause you trouble. Tell me first, which one of you is Yuan Cheng?”

Yuan Cheng trembled as he looked at Li Xiaoran and pointed at himself.

“My name is Yuan Cheng. Why are you looking for me?”

“Did you go to Chicken Head Mountain to save a woman who sprained her ankle last winter?” Li Xiaoqing looked at Yuan Cheng and asked directly.

Yuan Cheng thought about it carefully. That seemed to be the case.

That time, he was going to dig up some herbs to sell, so he went to look for them on Chicken Head Mountain, which was further away from the village.

After all, he had searched all the herbs in the mountains around their village, so he wanted to look for them in the mountains of other villages.

“How did you know about this?” Yuan Cheng asked.

“In that case, it’s you! The woman you saved is my mother!” Li Xiaoqing looked at Yuan Cheng and said, “Wait a moment. I’ll talk to my sister!”

After saying this, Li Xiaoqing ran back to the noodle stall, leaving the confused Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao looking at each other.

“Sister, it’s him! It’s that Yuan Cheng!” Li Xiaoqing shouted happily.

Seeing that her sister had confirmed it, Li Xiaoran started to think seriously.

Since the other party had helped her mother, it was time for her to return the favor.

She had also heard some of the conversation between Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao. After thinking about it, she went with Li Xiaoqing.

“You only have sorghum noodles, right?” Li Xiaoran asked.

When Yuan Cheng heard this, he immediately hugged the bag of sorghum noodles and looked at the sisters warily. “Yes! What do you want to do?”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Do you still want to set up a stall here to earn money?”

“Yes, I do!”

“Me too!”

When Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao heard Li Xiaoran’s words, they suddenly reacted and immediately replied at the same time.

Li Xiaoran glanced at Mao Dao and saw that he was the unlucky guy who had been beaten up by her and her sister previously. He felt a little embarra.s.sed.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaoran said, “You can use sorghum noodles to make sorghum buns to sell! This way, you only need a stove and a pot to do business. This is the official road and there are people coming and going. Some people are hungry but in a hurry, they will be willing to buy steamed buns to eat! You can do this business!”
