The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady Chapter 267 – 267 Coldhearted

267 Coldhearted

Zhao Xiu thought for a moment and did the math.

One person cost 50 copper coins, and five people cost 250 copper coins. This wasn’t a small expense!

The previous profits of the noodle shop seemed very high, but that was the result of the family working their butts off.

If everyone’s salary was included, it would cost a lot of money.

At the thought of this, Zhao Xiu’s heart ached again.

“How about recruiting two people? We can do our own work at home!”

“Mother, if you didn’t say it, I wouldn’t have remembered! Although it’s a family business, we have to pay everyone a salary in the future. The salary has to be distributed directly to everyone every month, and then the profits will be calculated. Don’t feel rueful over this money. When our shop’s business booms, we’ll earn back all the money!” Li Xiaoran seemed to have seen through Zhao Xiu’s thoughts and persuaded her with a smile.

Since her daughter had already said so, Zhao Xiu didn’t say anything else, and she started mentally screening candidates.

At the same time, in a house in Hele Village, a man and a woman were arguing fiercely.

A little girl was trembling in fear. She curled up in a corner and looked at the two people arguing in front of her with teary eyes.

“If you have the ability, give birth to a son for me. You gave birth to such a useless daughter and even stopped others from giving birth to a son for me. Why are you so heartless? You want our family to have no descendants?!” The man pointed at his wife with a ferocious expression and scolded her ruthlessly.

When the woman heard the man’s words, her face was filled with disbelief.

All the love between them in the past seemed so ironic now.

The man in front of her was no longer as gentle and considerate as before. All that was left was ferocity and disdain.

At this moment, she felt utterly disappointed.

“Pack up. I’ll bring her back tonight!” The man finally said and turned to leave.

As the woman watched the man leave, tears fell.

The little girl, who had been hiding in the corner, ran out and wiped the tears off the woman’s face with her little hand.

“Mother, don’t cry!”

If Li Xiaoran were here, she would definitely recognize that this little girl was Little Yue’er, Du Yue.

As Du Yue’s mother, Hu Xuefei, stared at her obedient and sensible daughter, she felt invigorated.

She couldn’t go on like this. If this continued, Little Yue’er would suffer!

Thinking of this, Du Yue made a decision.

“Little Yue’er, are you willing to live with me only?! In the future, we won’t live with your father anymore. You can live with me!”

When Little Yue’er heard Hu Xuefei’s words, she tilted her head and thought for a moment. “Mother, isn’t it difficult to raise me all alone?”

“No, don’t worry. I’m capable enough to support you! As for this family, leave it to your father!” Hu Xuefei’s gaze turned cold.

When Little Yue’er heard her mother’s words, she nodded.

“Alright, I’m willing to live with you, Mother! I don’t like Grandma, nor do I like my brother! Mother, my brother is very naughty. He always steals my food!”

Hu Xuefei reached out and touched Little Yue’er’s head. This time, she was even more determined.

“Don’t worry, Little Yue’er. He won’t be able to snatch your things anymore!”

With that, Hu Xuefei brought Little Yue’er to pack some clothes and was about to leave.

“Mother, I’m going to say goodbye to Xiaoran!” Before leaving, Little Yue’er thought of something and said.

Hu Xuefei thought of the girl who gave Little Yue’er candy and comforted her gently. Thinking that they would never see each other again, she simply brought Little Yue’er to the Luo family’s home.

Fortunately, when the mother and daughter came to the Luo family’s house, they didn’t bump into Du Wen, who had returned.

Otherwise, if Du Wen found out that Hu Xuefei was going to leave with Little Yue’er, he would definitely capture her and beat her up.

Speaking of which, the heavens favored compassionate people.

When Du Wen returned home and realized that Hu Xuefei and Little Yue’er had disappeared, he began to panic.

At this moment, Du Wen’s old mother, Old Madam Du, walked back with her eldest grandson, Du Tianlang.

“Why are you standing here? What time is it? Why isn’t smoke coming out of the chimney? Is your wife slacking off? Why? Does she have a problem with us raising our grandson? If she has a problem, give birth to one herself. Besides, our eldest son is gone. What’s wrong with you, the uncle, raising your nephew?” Old Madam Du scolded loudly as soon as she entered.

When Du Wen heard his mother’s scolding, he became even more frustrated.

“Mother, Du Xuefei ran away? I just went to the room to take a look. Her and Little Yue’er’s clothes are gone!” Du Wen shouted.

When Old Madam Du heard this, she was immediately dumbfounded.

What? Her second son’s wife had run away too?

Back then, after her eldest son had an accident, her eldest son’s wife abandoned the child and ran away. Even now, they hadn’t found her yet.

Now, her second son’s wife had run away and even brought that little girl away with her!

That little girl had been raised by the Du family for so many years. In a few more years, she would be able to be exchanged for betrothal gifts.

Old Madam Du was unhappy.

“You good-for-nothing, why are you still standing here? Hurry up and find her!”

When Du Wen heard this, he glared at Old Madam Du.

“Mother, I’m afraid you haven’t seen the current situation clearly! Your beloved eldest son is already dead, and you’re still relying on me to support you in your old age. Also, I don’t have a son, but that doesn’t mean I can’t give birth to a son! You cherish my eldest brother’s son, so raise him yourself. I’ll only raise my own son in the future!”

As he spoke, Du Wen thought of something and said fiercely, “Mother, remember, don’t call me a good-for-nothing anymore! If you really cross me, your good days will be over!”

With that, Du Wen ran out and asked around for Hu Xuefei and Du Yue’s whereabouts.

Because it was time for everyone to prepare dinner, almost no one saw Hu Xuefei and Du Yue.

Du Wen failed to find their whereabouts.

On the other side, Hu Xuefei and Du Yue knocked on the door of the Luo family’s house. Soon, Luo Ziyang opened the door.

“It’s you. Little Yue’er, why are you here?” Luo Ziyang asked when he saw that it was Little Yue’er standing outside the door.

Little Yue’er had followed Little Huzi and the others to the Luo family’s house to play with Li Xiaoqing, so she knew Luo Ziyang.

“Brother Ziyang, I’m here to say goodbye to Xiaoran!”

Luo Ziyang was stunned for a moment before looking at Du Xuefei, who was holding Little Yue’er’s hand.

“Oh, she’s at home. Come in!”

With that, Luo Ziyang welcomed the mother and daughter in.
