Chapter 183
183 You Despise Me?
Luo Cheng walked in carefully and saw a long bamboo pole on the ground, so he picked it up and held it in his hand.
It had to be said that the house had collapsed quite a lot. More than half of it had collapsed.
Because there was a dense bamboo forest behind the house, nothing unusual could be seen from the outside.
When they were about to reach the collapsed area, Luo Cheng probed the soil with the bamboo pole.
As expected, some places immediately collapsed a little.
After that, Luo Cheng carefully explored the surroundings of the house. Finally, he climbed up a big tree and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the situation below.
“There’s nothing serious. For some reason, a pit appeared under this side of the house, so it collapsed. Everything else is fine.” After Luo Cheng walked out, he explained the situation inside.
Old Master Guo sighed when he heard this.
“In the past, I often heard people say that if a house is uninhabited, it will easily collapse. As expected! No matter how good a house is, if no one lives in it, it will eventually become desolate!”
“That’s not true! Look at our house. It looks dilapidated, but someone lives in it. It’s repaired from time to time, so it’s fine!” Little Huzi’s grandmother said.
“Then what should we do with this house?” Luo Cheng asked after some thought.
“What else can we do? It’s already collapsed. No one in the village will repair it. How can we let this house stay like this?!” Old Master Guo shook his head.
Luo Cheng frowned when he heard Old Master Guo’s words.
This house had collapsed. Even if it was repaired, it wouldn’t be repaired in a short time. Moreover, no one was willing to repair it.
It seemed that his plan to rent a house to get married from was ruined!
“Old Master Guo, do we still have any unused houses in our village?” Luo Cheng asked.
Old Master Guo shook his head. “We had some a few years ago, but we only have this house now!”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he sighed.
He had no choice but to think of another way!
On the shop’s side, there were fewer customers today.
Li Xiaoran had just served the knife-cut noodles that the guests needed when she saw Old Madam Jin waving at Li Xiaoran.
“Little girl, let’s go eat delicious food again today!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Old Madam Jin’s words, she immediately understood.
After telling her parents, Li Xiaoran went to the big rock with Old Madam Jin.
As usual, there were thick cushions. They sat together and ate stinky tofu.
“Sigh, there’s no point in eating this stinky tofu alone. It’s better to have someone to fight for it over!” Old Madam Jin couldn’t help but sigh after taking a bite.
“So you didn’t just want to treat me to stinky tofu!” Li Xiaoran teased.
“It’s good enough that you’re even getting to eat it!” Old Madam Jin glanced at Li Xiaoran and said.
“Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for letting me eat stinky tofu with you!” Li Xiaoran coaxed with a smile.
Hearing Li Xiaoran’s words, Old Madam Jin smiled happily.
“Only you dare to be so cheeky in front of me!”
With that, Old Madam Jin could tell that the worry on Li Xiaoran’s face was gone, so she asked curiously, “Have you settled your worries?”
Li Xiaoran nodded and said with a smile, “Yes!”
“How did you resolve it?” Old Madam Jin asked excitedly.
“My husband said that he wants to marry me officially! We’ve already picked a date. When the time comes, he’ll bring eight bridal sedans to marry me!” Li Xiaoran said happily.
Old Madam Jin knew about Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng. Seeing that she was so happy, she was also happy for her.
“You’re quite lucky to have met a good man!”
As she spoke, Old Madam Jin thought of something. “Since you’re getting married, you’re not going back to your biased grandparents, are you?”
Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, “How is that possible?! Back then, we agreed to marry Luo Cheng in order to escape them. We definitely won’t go back now!”
“I see!” When Old Madam Jin heard this, she thought for a moment and suddenly clapped her hands.
“Why don’t you get married from my house?! Look, my house can be built in a month. This place is also close to your house. It’s the most suitable place to get married from!”
Li Xiaoran was shocked by Old Madam Jin’s words and asked in disbelief, “Are you willing to lend us the house for a few days?”
“Why do you need to borrow it? Just move in! I’ve never had a granddaughter in my life! I gave birth to sons, and my sons also gave birth to sons. I don’t even have a granddaughter. I think we hit it off very well. Why don’t you acknowledge me as your god grandmother? We’ll be family from now on! How about that?” Old Madam Jin said happily.
Li Xiaoran was completely dumbfounded.
She could sense that Old Madam Jin wanted to do this from the bottom of her heart.
It seemed that doing so would make her especially happy.
Seeing that Li Xiaoran didn’t speak, Old Madam Jin was a little unhappy.
“Why? Do you think I’m not worthy of being your grandmother?”
Li Xiaoran was amused when she saw that Old Madam Jin was instantly unhappy.
“Of course that’s not what I meant. It’s just that this matter is too serious. I have to go back and discuss it with my parents!”
When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, her expression brightened.
“Does that mean you’re willing to accept me as your god grandmother?”
At this juncture, could Li Xiaoran say that she was unwilling?
Of course not!
“I won’t despise anyone! Who else in this world can accompany me to eat this delicious stinky tofu?!” Li Xiaoran deliberately teased.
When Old Madam Jin heard this, she was immediately happy.
“Alright, I’ll follow you to find your parents and settle this matter!”
Li Xiaoran had no choice but to bring Old Madam Jin back to the shop.
At this moment, there were no more customers in the shop. Everyone was sitting together and talking.
When Old Madam Jin explained her intentions, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu were stunned.
What had they heard?
Old Madam Jin wanted to take in their daughter, Li Xiaoran, as her god granddaughter?
They weren’t dreaming, were they?
One had to know that Old Madam Jin was from a rich family!
Their daughter, Li Xiaoran, was a little girl from the countryside!
