Chapter 90: Chapter 88: The Li Family’s Chaotic Scandal

Captain Zheng left awkwardly, and the captain pulled Wen Ran, “How’s it going? Did they bully you?”

Xiao Chenye complained, “Uncle, I’m still here, how could anyone bully Xiao Wen? I’m not useless.”

The captain: “…”

I know, I know, you’re the one with the mouth!

Wen Ran smiled, “No.”

The captain heaved a sigh of relief, “That’s good, I was afraid he’d resort to desperate measures and be rude to you. By the way, how do you know that Chunyan from their family?”

“Oh, I met her once before in the county town. I was drinking dumpling soup and shared a bowl with her.”

The captain looked incredulous, “Your mouth is so tight, how could she get food out of you to eat? It’s such a rare thing.”

Wen Ran: “…”

Glanced sideways at the captain, “I’m heading to your house to eat right away.”

“Hahahaha, stop talking, hurry up, let’s eat some meat!”

The captain personally took the ladle and scooped a big bowl of meat for Wen Ran, heaping it full.

“Eat!”

Watching Wen Ran eat meat, everyone laughed along, “Speaking of which, our Xiao Wen should eat more meat. If it weren’t for her collecting pigweed every day, our team’s pigs wouldn’t be growing so fat.”

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed good-naturedly.

Wen Ran also beamed with a smile, holding the bowl, hands on hips, saying, “That’s right! I’m around the pigs every day, I almost feel tethered to them.”

“Hahahaha~”

As the atmosphere heated up, someone came running over, shouting, “It’s over! It’s over!”

“What’s over!”

Mrs. Li saw her son like that, her happy expression dropped, “On such a good day, speaking unlucky words.”

“Oh dear!” Brother Li stomped his foot, “Mom! You don’t know, Lihong got into trouble.”

“What?”

Mrs. Li was incredulous, “What, what could happen to her?!”

Everyone holding bowls turned their gaze like searchlights suddenly onto the two of them.

Brother Li looked at Mrs. Li, under the gaze of the crowd, walked to her side and whispered a few words.

Mrs. Li: “What?!”

She felt dizzy, “What did you say?”

Brother Li urgently said, “Don’t shout, what kind of good news is that, shouting around, then everyone will know.”

The crowd: “?”

Originally not curious, but those two words really got them furiously curious.

Mrs. Li raised a hand and slapped Brother Li, urgently saying, “Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and go.”

Mother and son left on the front foot, followed by someone carrying a bowl.

Wen Ran hadn’t interacted with Mrs. Li, she watched Xiao Chenye calmly, slurping noodles, muttering unclearly, “What’s going on here?”

Xiao Chenye took a bite of sauerkraut, bewildered, “I don’t know.”

With sharp eyes, Xiao Chenye almost immediately spotted Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Chenxing among the crowd.

“No,” he said incredulously, “wait, that looks like my mom and my sister.”

Wen Ran raised an eyebrow, “Let’s go, follow and see!”

The two exchanged a glance, carried their bowl and followed.

The captain scratched his head, not particularly curious, mainly because over the years, there had been a lot of bickering here and there, with him arbitrating countless times. Some matters that could be solved by themselves, he didn’t want to get involved.

The cook looked at the captain, “No, uncle, you’re not gonna go and see?”

The captain didn’t even lift his eyelids, slurped a mouthful of soup, delicious!

“Not going.”

Having said that, the captain glanced at Accountant Li sitting next to him, puzzled, “You’re not going to check?”

After all, it was his family causing trouble.

Accountant Li remained calm, “What big deal could it be? Probably just Xiao Tiger and his mom hollering.”

He smiled, beneath his aged lenses showing shrewdness, “Let’s not dwell on women’s matters, shall we have a drink?”

“Sure!”

The two were comrades, but also rivals. Accountant Li hadn’t been moving much over the years, largely because the captain was above him, suppressing.

Accountant Li thought, regardless of how big the issue was, he couldn’t let it disturb him.

He had to get rid of Bi Jianguo, take over as captain.

It was a matter of who could remain calm.

The two drank and ate, outwardly composed, but underneath turbulent waves were brewing.

Until someone popped up, mouth agape, “Oh my, Mr. Li Sr., you’re still eating here! Heartless thing, your daughter is lying together with the Tian family’s third son.”

Accountant Li froze, his hand shaking with the bowl, “What?”

“Your daughter, with the Tian family’s third son,” the woman made an ugly face and gestured, “just, like this this.”

Accountant Li felt dizzy, but he held up, put the bowl down, frowned and said, “Why make a fuss?”

The informant: “???”

Is this making a fuss? Unmarried boy and girl lying together, it might end up in trouble.

It would become a topic of conversation in the team, gossip and rumors kill people.

Even the captain glanced over, kindly suggesting, “Shall we go and see?”

Even if he had some disagreements with Accountant Li, it didn’t affect the children. If the Tian family dared to make trouble, he had to stand up for the kid.

“Let’s go,” Accountant Li’s heart was full of hatred, the Tian family ruined his plan!

A group headed towards the Tian family, on the road Accountant Li tried hard to keep a neutral face, but internally he was mostly annoyed. He originally planned for Li Lihong to become a special assistant to the county leader.

For next year’s captain election, let Lihong whisper by the pillow.

He’d see if he could pull Bi Jianguo, that old bastard, down from his position.

Now it’s bad, his plan is completely ruined.

Wen Ran relied on her strength, had already pulled Xiao Chenye, standing in the front row to eat melon.

The captain squeezed in hard, glancing up, seeing Wen Ran still holding a bowl, with eyes glowing.

Beside him, Xiao Chenye was even more hard to watch, eagerly picking out good meat from his bowl for Wen Ran.

“Eat this, it’s good.”

Of course, Wen Ran was not overly grateful, “I don’t like eating big fatty meat, I want meat with bones.”

Xiao Chenye didn’t understand, but listened, picked a small rib, “Then eat this.”

Wen Ran: “This tastes good.”

“Then eat more, I’ll think of ways to get it for you in the future.”

The captain was speechless, and Li Lihong, clutching her disheveled clothes, was full of resentment.

She really couldn’t understand, was she not good to Xiao Chenye?

Why does he always ignore her, yet treat that rural successor so well?

Just because she’s prettier?

That’s not fair!

Clearly, they knew each other first.

Damn Wen Ran!

She trembled all over, Mrs. Li beside her held Li Lihong, wailing, “My poor daughter! Now, what are we gonna do!

Waa-waa, this damn Tian family, you old thing, taking advantage of my daughter, I’m going to fight with you.”
