Chapter 426: Follow-up of the Wan Family’s Matter
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As Li Xiaoran looked at the two children who were on good terms already, she shook her head with a smile.
As soon as Guan Kang’s matter was settled, Little Huzi brought a second wave of news about the Wan family.
The news that the second son of the Wan family owed a gambling debt outside was also exposed.
This time, the people from the casino came personally to ask for it.
Speaking of which, these people were the group of people who had come to the Li family to collect debts.
As a result, the Wan family became the second family in the village to be approached by a casino after the Li family.
The Wan family was in chaos again.
The family assets that they had painstakingly obtained were all used to pay off their gambling debts. They even compensated some chickens and ducks. Even the two pigs raised at home for the new year were taken away by the casino.
This matter made things worse for the Wan family, which wasn’t rich to begin with.
This wasn’t the end. The engagement of the Wan family’s second son’s eldest son was also called off.
The other party returned the betrothal gift and the engagement letter. They would rather compensate the Wan family for their losses than let their daughter marry into this sort of family.
After that, the few juniors of the Wan family who were originally working in town were fired one after another.
For a moment, other than Wan Jiang’s family, who was safe and sound, all sorts of misfortunes happened to the other families.
Everyone thought that the Wan family was already miserable enough.
But in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
As soon as Li Xiaoran finished eating the meat buns, she saw Little Huzi rushing over again.
“Brother Luo Cheng, Sister Ran, something happened to the Wan family again!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Little Huzi’s voice, she looked at Luo Cheng before waving at Little Huzi.
“Have you eaten breakfast yet? Hurry up and eat two buns!”
Little Huzi didn’t stand on ceremony with Li Xiaoran. After he washed his hands, he went to the table for breakfast.
Guan Kang and Changsheng were also very happy to see Little Huzi, so the three of them sat together as they ate.
After Little Huzi ate his fill, he remembered why he had come.
“Sister Ran, Brother Luo Cheng, something happened to the Wan family again! This time, the officials came looking for them. It seems that the Wan family has killed someone, so the officials are here to arrest them!”
Li Xiaoran didn’t expect this to happen, so she asked, “Who in the Wan family killed someone?
“It’s Wan Pan, the one who went to the shop to snatch Sister Wen Lu last time. It turns out that Wan Pan liked to snatch girls by force before. It’s said that a girl went missing for a long time and her corpse was finally found in a mountain ditch. The murderer has never been found, and the case has never been solved. Not long ago, a new clue suddenly appeared and they traced the crime to Wan Pan!” Little Huzi revealed what he had heard.
Li Xiaoran gasped. She didn’t expect the Wan family to actually kill someone.
Li Xiaoran didn’t ask Little Huzi any more questions. Instead, she waited for the three children to go out to play before looking at Luo Cheng.
“Husband, you found out long ago?”
Luo Cheng nodded and said, “After you told me, I’ll get someone to investigate the Wan family. They think that they’ve done a lot of things secretly, but their crimes can’t withstand detailed investigations at all. Otherwise, why would I call Qin Cui and her son over in advance? It’s naturally because the Wan family has done too many wicked things. Speaking of which, although the Wan family has done many bad things, Wan Jiang and his family are quite upright!” Speaking of this, Li Xiaoran also thought of her family. “Good bamboo shoots can grow from evil bamboo, just like our family!” Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“It seems that the fengshui of that piece of land in the village is not very good!
Otherwise, why would the two neighboring families be so wicked?!”
Luo Cheng wasn’t the only one who had such thoughts. The others in the village were also secretly discussing it.
Because of this, all the families living next door to the Wan family and the Li family were suspected by the villagers.
In any case, from then on, even if there was still an empty space around the Wan family and the Li family, no one was willing to build a house there.
After all, no one was willing to move into a place with bad fengshui.
After that, Li Xiaoran stopped paying attention to the Wan family because her relatives had moved over.
Luo Cheng had paid for many carriages to Eagle Village early on to help the Zhao family move out.
As the granddaughter of the Zhao family, Li Xiaoran naturally had to follow suit.
After everything was moved to the big house. Zhao Hgaishan and Xu Xiufang
looked at the house that had been renovated and cleaned up with a smile.
Everything was ready and the furniture was also set up.
Therefore, everyone just had to move the things off the ox cart and put them in their respective rooms.
Previously, Zhao Huaishan had already divided the residence, so everyone only needed to carry their bags and move in.
In addition, there was a kitchen built where every family lived.
In other words, the Zhao family could also cook themselves whenever they wanted.
Zhao Huaishan had suggested this long ago, so everything was arranged according to his wishes.
For the next two days, the Zhao family unpacked their things at home.
The day after Zhao Sisi arrived at Hele Village, she went to the shop with Li Xiaoqing to sell knife-cut noodles.
Li Xiaoqing and her sister, Li Xiaoran, were still busy.
Not only did she have to sell knife-cut noodles, but she also had to practice martial arts.
Since Granny Qiu had accepted Li Xiaoqing as her disciple, she immediately became serious and responsible towards her.
Previously, she had asked Luo Cheng to get a lot of herbs and let Li Xiaoqing soak in the medicinal bath for a few days.
Then, they brought some things to tie up various parts of Li Xiaoqing’s body.
Peeling noodles was originally very easy, but Li Xiaoqing found it much more difficult to do it after carrying weights.
Even so, Li Xiaoqing didn’t complain about being tired. Instead, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Granny Qiu was very satisfied with Li Xiaoqing’s tenacity.
After the Zhao family settled down, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng welcomed Kang Zheng and Wen Lu’s marriage.
After moving into their new residence, Kang Zheng and Wen Lu had to work at the shop during the day, so they could only use nighttime to tidy up. After everything was sorted out, the Wan family’s matter also came to an end.
To be honest, after seeing that the Wan family had received retribution, Wen Lu felt extremely pleased.
Coincidentally, Qin Cui came to apologize, so Wen Lu reconciled with Qin Cui and restored their relationship.
Therefore, on the day of Wen Lu’s marriage, Qin Cui brought her family to send Wen Lu off.
By sending her off, she acted the part of her family.
However, Wen Lu and Kang Zheng didn’t care about these customs.
Qin Cui watched in relief as Wen Lu married Kang Zheng happily!
She could finally give her deceased family an explanation!
