Chapter 118 Goodbye Li Baoer
After Li Xiaoxiao and Bai finished their work in the kitchen, Wang sent Yun Che, Li Xiaoxiao and the others out, saying that they should cultivate their relationship and not have to accompany her, an old woman.
Yun Che also wanted to stay with Li Xiaoxiao, so the two of them went out hand in hand. Li Xiaoxiao planned to take him around the village. Although there were not many outsiders present when Li Xiaoxiao got engaged, there were still people who saw it. Soon everyone knew the news of Li Xiaoxiao and Yun Che's engagement. In addition, Yun Che came several times later, so most people knew him.
Along the way, many villagers greeted them, and some aunts pulled Li Xiaoxiao aside to ask her questions, their words full of jokes. Li Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed, lowering her head and blushing. Yun Che held her hand tightly the whole time, protecting her.
Before they knew it, the two of them had reached the Li family's old residence. Just as Li Xiaoxiao was about to turn around and walk back with Yun Che in tow, a burst of inappropriate laughter rang out, "Hey, isn't that Xiaoxiao? You're so uneducated! You don't even say hello to your elders when you see them."
Li Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Fang carefully supporting Li Baoer, the two of them walking slowly. If someone didn't know, they would think that Li Baoer was seriously ill!
Yun Che heard this and was about to step forward and teach the two a lesson. He couldn't stand seeing anyone bullying Li Xiaoxiao while he was around. Li Xiaoxiao shook Yun Che's hand, signaling him not to be impulsive.
Li Xiaoxiao went straight up to him and said, "How can you be considered an elder? I remember clearly that we have broken off our relationship." Li Xiaoxiao said indifferently.
"You..." Li Fang was so angry after hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said. She pointed her finger at Li Xiaoxiao and wanted to say something, but couldn't.
"If you don't want your finger anymore, I don't mind removing it for you!" Yun Che looked at Li Fang's finger with a cold gaze and an undeniable threat in his tone. Li Fang was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand, her face turning pale and blue, but she didn't dare to open her mouth to provoke him again.
Li Bao'er, watching this, felt a flicker of jealousy. She looked at Yun Che, whose face was so beautiful it could infuriate both humans and gods, yet he treated Li Xiaoxiao with such tenderness and care. Then, thinking of Zhang Yuxuan's lukewarm attitude towards her since she married him, she felt even more distressed. She reached out and touched her belly. She was thankful she had managed to conceive a child of the Zhang family, otherwise, life in the Zhang family would have been difficult.
Li Baoer reached out to tidy her hair, then put on her weak and innocent look again, and said softly to Li Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, why are you doing this? After all, we are family, and blood is thicker than water."
Li Xiaoxiao sneered and looked at Li Baoer sharply, her tone tinged with sarcasm: "Family? Blood is thicker than water? It really makes me sick to hear these words coming out of your mouth. Don't forget how you treated me and my mother back then. There is no relationship between us anymore."
Li Baoer's face froze, as if she hadn't expected Li Xiaoxiao to open up old wounds so directly. Li Fang, who was standing beside her, was about to speak up to defend her daughter, but Li Baoer gently pulled her sleeve, signaling her not to act rashly.
"Okay, Xiaoxiao, since you put it that way, I won't say much." Li Baoer forced a smile, but her eyes flickered with resentment. "However, I still want to remind you, don't think you're great just because you've climbed the ladder. The world is unpredictable, and it's not certain who will have the last laugh."
After saying that, Li Baoer even puffed out her belly, as if afraid that others wouldn't notice. Li Xiaoxiao couldn't stand their expressions the most. She looked at Li Baoer's belly with amusement and said, "Don't think that you can sit back and relax just because you're pregnant. I advise you to go home and look after your man instead of arguing with me. Don't let him be snatched away by someone else if you're not careful."
"What do you mean?" Li Baoer couldn't help but ask after hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said.
"It's just the literal meaning. If you don't understand, forget it!" Li Xiaoxiao didn't intend to say anything more. She pulled Yun Che aside and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Li Baoer shouted, "Li Xiaoxiao, stop and speak clearly."
But Li Xiaoxiao didn't listen to her and directly pulled Yun Che away.
"Mom, look at her..." Li Baoer stomped her feet, pointed at Li Xiaoxiao and looked at Li Fangshi beside her, wishing she could run over and grab Li Xiaoxiao to ask her clearly.
"Okay, Baoer, don't believe what Li Xiaoxiao said. Be careful of miscarriage. The baby is important." Li Fang patted Li Baoer on the back and comforted her.
Li Baoer thought about it and could only let Li Fang support her as she slowly turned around and headed home. After returning home, Li Baoer thought about it over and over again and felt that something was wrong. She had originally planned to stay at her parents' home for a few days before returning, but Li Xiaoxiao's words kept lingering in her mind, and she couldn't stay any longer. After lunch at the old house that day, she hurriedly packed her things and rushed back to Zhangjia Village. Of course, these are all later stories.
After Li Xiaoxiao pulled Yun Che away, Yun Che sensed her change in mood and gently squeezed her hand, saying softly, "Xiaoxiao, don't be unhappy. I'm here with you. I'll always be with you."
Li Xiaoxiao looked up at Yun Che, her eyes gleaming with gratitude and trust. She knew that with Yun Che by her side, she would have enough courage and strength to face any challenge.
The two continued walking forward, they passed through most of the village and walked towards the river.
Near the river, many paddy fields have been converted into shrimp fields by villagers and crayfish have been raised.
Looking at the scale of crayfish farming in Lijia Village today, even Yun Che couldn't help but admire Li Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you don't know how much people in the capital love to eat crayfish. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to taste such delicious food!" After Yun Che finished speaking, he hugged Li Xiaoxiao. Li Xiaoxiao leaned in Yun Che's arms, looking at these shrimp fields, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Thinking of the taste of crayfish, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He just hoped that this year's crayfish would be on the market soon so that he could eat the fresh, spicy and spicy crayfish again.
The two of them stayed by the river for a while longer. Looking at the still frozen surface, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Yun Che, how about I teach you ice fishing?"
"Ice fishing, what is that?" Yun Che asked.
"You'll know soon. Let's go back and prepare some things before coming back." After saying that, Li Xiaoxiao pulled Yun Che towards home.
