The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady

160 Li Yan’s Engagement

Li Yan waited for three days but Pei Xuanxin did not come to propose marriage. She was a little anxious.

Now that her parents had believed her words, if Pei Xuanxin came to propose marriage, the marriage would be successful.

However, after waiting for Pei Xuanxin for a long time, Li Yan was a little afraid.

Could she have misjudged Pei Xuanxin?

Could it be that Pei Xuanxin regretted it after he returned?

No, no, no. It must be because Pei Xuan’s family was poor that he was too embarrassed to propose marriage!

That had to be it!

Li Yan comforted herself as she thought about what to do.

No, she couldn’t wait any longer. She had to quickly settle the marriage.

If Pei Xuanxin did not come tomorrow morning, she would take the initiative to look for him.

Now that she should be Pei Xuanxin’s woman, Pei Xuanxin had to marry her no matter what.

Finally, on the tenth day after they separated, Pei Xuanxin invited a matchmaker over to propose marriage.

Today, Pei Xuanxin had specifically changed into a new set of clothes.

After he obtained the reishi mushroom from Luo Cheng the day before yesterday, he quickly went to town to find a doctor to apply medicine for her mother.

Sure enough, in just two days, his mother had improved. She was much better.

After that, Pei Xuanxin took out some money and bought some things to change his clothes. Then, he found a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Li family.

Looking at the refined Pei Xuanxin and recalling what his daughter had said, Li Qiang was extremely willing to let his daughter marry Pei Xuanxin!

Actually, Li Qiang was already mentally prepared. He thought that Pei Xuanxin would not be able to fork out much money.

Unexpectedly, Pei Xuanxin actually brought a matchmaker and two chickens this time.

After a short conversation, Li Yan and Pei Xuan’s marriage was decided.

Li Yan was also very surprised. She did not expect Pei Xuanxin to be able to take out ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift.

One had to know that although ten taels of silver was not a lot, it was still impressive.

In Hele Village, they usually gave five or six taels of silver as a betrothal gift.

Ten taels of silver was already very generous.

Of course, Luo Cheng using the tiger bone in exchange for Li Xiaoran was an exception.

After all, in the eyes of the world, Luo Cheng was undoubtedly stupid and rich.

The news of Li Yan’s marriage quickly spread throughout the village.

It attracted everyone’s curiosity even more than the news that Guan Dongshan had returned with the child.

Some people were naturally envious of Li Yan for receiving so many betrothal gifts. Others knew about Pei Xuan’s family’s situation and were very surprised that the Li family agreed to this marriage.

Due to Li Xiaoran’s previous marriage, the Li family had already been labeled as cold-hearted by the villagers, so they could not understand the Li family’s actions.

Everyone in the village knew, so did Luo Cheng’s family.

After all, Little Huzi would come to Luo Cheng’s house every day to play. Naturally, he would tell everyone what had happened in the village.

Luo Cheng smiled when he heard this but said nothing.

Li Shun and Zhao Xiu were the most surprised.

“When did your brother become so easygoing? Didn’t he say that he had to bring 50 taels of silver in order to marry Li Yan?” Zhao Xiu began to expose Li Qiang.

“Who knows?! Perhaps Li Yan is willing to marry him!” Li Shun could not understand and said.

Li Xiaoran did not feel anything about Li Yan getting married.

As long as Li Yan did not appear in front of her, it did not matter who she married!

Luo Cheng had been staring at Li Xiaoran’s expression. Seeing that she did not care, he was secretly delighted.

He did not care who Li Xiaoran should have married. Now that she was his wife, she had to be his.

Li Xiaoran really did not take this to heart. Instead, she went to the orchard with her father to talk about what to plant in the future.

At this moment, the orchard outside the Luo family’s house was filled with people.

Luo Cheng moved quickly. Seeing that Li Xiaoran had decided to plant vegetables, he got someone to dig trees.

The salary for digging a tree was not calculated by the day, but the number of trees.

Therefore, some families in the village worked together to dig a tree and earn money.

Therefore, when Li Xiaoran and Li Shun walked out, there were already many fruit trees missing in the orchard.

At this moment, Luo Ziyang was busy checking the trees at the designated place. After confirming that there were no problems, he would pay the other party directly.

“If we dig like this for a few more days, this large piece of land will be cleared!” Li Shun sighed.

“That’s right. Now that the land has been cleared, we have to hire people to plow the soil! Father, see if there’s anyone suitable in the village. Let them come over and plow the ground together!” Li Xiaoran looked around and said.

Li Shun hesitated for a moment and said, “Isn’t this too expensive? We have to pay for digging trees and digging the ground. Why don’t I slowly dig the ground alone?!”

“Father, if we really wait for you to dig out such a large piece of land, the new year will be over. The later it is, the colder the weather will be. If we don’t plant something now, it will be too late when it rains! This is not the time to save money. Our shop is still waiting for the vegetables and fruits you plant!” Li Xiaoran said and was amused.

“Sigh, my heart aches when I see how much money we spent!” Li Shun said what was on his mind.

“Then Father, farm well. If we plant vegetables and fruits, we can earn a lot of money!” Li Xiaoran encouraged.

...

“Can we really earn money by planting vegetables and fruits?” Li Shun finally asked the question on his mind. “I think they all plant crops. Planting vegetables and fruits doesn’t seem to be profitable!”

Seeing that her father was worried about this, Li Xiaoran was immediately amused.

“Father, just do as I say and plant everything I ask you to plant. Then, plant these things. Leave the rest to me. I’ll definitely make us both earn a lot of money!”

With Li Xiaoran’s assurance, Li Shun was slightly relieved.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you!”

“Father, it’s up to you how you plant it! So, you have to work hard!” Li Xiaoran cheered Li Shun on.

“Don’t worry, I’m good at farming!” Li Shun was very confident in this aspect.

“Father, let me tell you, these vegetables are definitely not inferior to those other crops!” Li Xiaoran said confidently.

At this moment, both father and daughter were filled with confidence.

“Sister! Brother-in-law bought a pig. Hurry back and take a look!” At this moment, Li Xiaoqing’s voice sounded.

Li Xiaoran and Li Shun looked at each other and quickly rushed home.
