The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady Chapter 67



67 Snatching Silver

“The third young master of the Wu family has gone missing. Minister Wu has reported it, and the officials have also come out to look for him. It’s just that they haven’t found him for the entire day, so the investigation is very strict now!” Someone who knew some inside information said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood the situation at the town gate, so she obediently waited in line.

Luo Cheng wasn’t impatient at all from the beginning to the end. He queued according to the rules.

In fact, it didn’t take long for the two of them to enter town successfully.

Just as Li Xiaoran was looking around and didn’t know where to go, Luo Cheng walked forward and grabbed her hand.

“There are many people in town. It’s easy to get lost! Hold on to me!”

Li Xiaoran felt the warmth from her hand and looked at Luo Cheng. She wanted to say something, but Luo Cheng pulled her to the right.

The more they walked to the right, the fewer people there were. Finally, they turned into an alley.

Li Xiaoran looked around at the unfamiliar environment and couldn’t help but ask, “Luo Cheng, why did you bring me here?”

Luo Cheng seemed to sense Li Xiaoran’s uneasiness and stopped in his tracks.

“What? Are you afraid that I’ll sell you to traffickers?”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“You won’t!”

Hearing Li Xiaoran’s certainty, Luo Cheng couldn’t help but retort, “Why are you so sure? I’m not familiar with you. If I really wanted to sell you or harm you, you wouldn’t be able to escape! How can you trust others so easily and not be on guard at all?”

Seeing Luo Cheng frowning at her, Li Xiaoran stopped and stood facing him.

“I don’t trust everyone easily. I just trust you! Besides, it’s not that I’m defenseless, but I’m very sure you don’t have any ill intentions towards me! Luo Cheng, I don’t know what you’ve experienced in the past, but it has always made you very wary and you never let anyone walk into your heart easily. But I’m not you. I’m willing to give you trust you! There’s a saying that goes, ‘Time will tell!’ Don’t resist what’s happening now. Time will prove everything!”

Luo Cheng looked into Li Xiaoran’s clear eyes and felt her trust and sincerity.

For some reason, he felt a little flustered in the face of Li Xiaoran’s complete trust.

At this moment, he didn’t know if he was worthy of Li Xiaoran’s trust and sincerity.

Even he didn’t know what his future would be like!

What choice would he make when danger descended, or when disaster struck?

“You shouldn’t trust me so much! I’m not necessarily reliable!” Luo Cheng said.

Li Xiaoran could sense Luo Cheng’s strong self-doubt and uncertainty at this moment and smiled confidently.

“Luo Cheng, it’s my business whether I believe you or not! I believe in my own judgment!”

Luo Cheng opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out.

At this moment, Luo Cheng noticed two people walking out of a courtyard not far away.

Luo Cheng gave Li Xiaoran a look and walked towards the two people.

These two people were none other than Li Xiaoran’s eldest uncle, Li Qiang, and her eldest cousin, Li Zhan.

The father and son ran out of the courtyard sneakily. It was obvious that they were up to something shady.

Because the father and son were too focused on talking, they didn’t notice who was walking towards them.

“Father, it’s useless even if you drag me out! I really didn’t gamble! Look, don’t I go to school obediently every day? You really don’t have to send me there!” Li Zhan said gloomily.

“Alright, brat, do you think I don’t know you?! Where did you get the silver in your hand? Didn’t you already gamble a few times behind our backs?!” Li Qiang glared at his son and said angrily, “I know you were lucky these few times. Give me some of the silver! Otherwise, I’ll tell your mother to punish you!”

Li Zhan didn’t expect his father to discover that he had gone to the casino. In order to live a better life in the future, Li Zhan could only take out some silver from his pocket.

“Father, this is two taels of silver. Take it first! Don’t spend it recklessly. This is all I have!”

“Cut it out!” Li Qiang said as he reached for the silver in Li Zhan’s hand.

Unfortunately, before he could reach out, someone took the two taels of silver faster than him.

“Who is it? How dare you snatch my silver? Why don’t you ask around to see what my job is?” Li Qiang was furious and cursed.

“Oh, I wonder what you do, Uncle?” Li Xiaoran’s crisp voice sounded, scaring Li Qiang and Li Zhan.

The father and son looked over and realized that the people walking over were Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran.

“Hehe! It’s Luo Cheng and Xiaoran! Why are you here?” Li Qiang forced a smile and then looked at Luo Cheng’s hand. “Nephew-in-law, we’re relatives after all! If you snatch my silver, that would be too unacceptable!”

“Rob? Uncle, you seem to have misunderstood! This silver is your way of showing filial piety to Grandpa and Grandma! We’re just passing the silver to Grandpa and Grandma as intermediaries!” Li Xiaoran widened her eyes in surprise and explained.

“What? You’re spouting nonsense. When did I say that this silver is for them?” Li Qiang immediately roared anxiously.

“What? You don’t want to be filial to Grandpa and Grandma?! No wonder! No wonder you and Second Uncle disappeared at the same time. It turns out that you don’t want to support your parents!” Li Xiaoran shouted.

These words attracted the attention of many people around.

Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Li Qiang quickly changed his words.

“You little girl, what nonsense are you talking about?! You’re so young, but your hearing isn’t good! Am I saying that? I’m saying that you can bring money back to your grandfather and grandmother. We have to work to earn money now, so we might have to go back some time later to show filial piety to the two elders! By the way, aren’t your parents still at home? Let your parents take care of the two elders first! I really can’t leave!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Li Qiang’s words, she immediately had a new understanding of the fact that Li Qiang was thick-skinned.

“Uncle, what are you saying? Although my parents were kicked out by Grandpa and Grandma, they still want to take care of them. It’s just that the old man said that since they’ve already left the family and become dowry, there’s no reason for my parents to take care of them. The two elders are actually still thinking about their sons, who haven’t been separated from the family, to go back to take care of them!”
