By the ti Xiaoxiao returned with the four children, she found the atmosphere inside the house had turned frosty. She glanced at Yang Ming, wondering what on earth was going on.
Yang Ming couldn’t figure it out either. What were the three of them doing?
"Sister Wang, when I just ca back, I saw a female worker crying and running out. What happened?" Xiaoxiao asked as she sat down with the children and began to eat.
"Oh, it’s nothing, I just didn’t let her work here anymore."
"..." What exactly happened? She had only been gone for a while, and a female worker had been fired. "What’s going on?"
"She gave Fugui an Embroidered Pouch as a gift."
"..." Huh? Wang Xiangxiang was too harsh, outright firing soone like that. She must have misunderstood, thinking she liked Li Fugui.
Chu Lian quietly ate his al, listening to the conversation. She spoke without a shred of embarrassnt—didn’t she feel awkward at all?
The more Chu Lian thought about it, the angrier he beca; he couldn’t even enjoy his al. "Li Fugui, I’ve thought it over, you should leave tomorrow."
He couldn’t stand to have Li Fugui stay any longer.
"So soon?" Wang Xiangxiang asked almost reflexively.
"What, you have a problem?" The quicker she wanted it, the sooner he would make Li Fugui leave.
Wang Xiangxiang didn’t reply, but turned to ask Li Fugui instead, "Li Fugui, do you need to prepare any clothes? I can help you get ready."
"No need, everything we need will be provided by Yuelai Restaurant, don’t trouble yourself." Before Li Fugui could respond, Chu Lian had already answered for him.
Xiaoxiao watched from the side, getting the feeling that Chu Lian was jealous of Li Fugui, which made things even more interesting.
She began to giggle foolishly. Hearing her laughter, everyone at the table turned to look at her in unison.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, what are you laughing at?" Fufu asked.
Realizing she had lost her composure, Xiaoxiao quickly suppressed her laughter. "I’m not laughing at anything, let’s just keep eating."
Li Fugui and Wang Xiangxiang continued their conversation. Wang Xiangxiang said, "That’s great, Li Fugui; now you can go to other counties."
"Yes."
Chu Lian remained silent, pondering what secret plan those two were devising. Wang Xiangxiang seed unhappy about his departure at first, so why was she excited now?
At first, a shaless man fought with her over Li Fugui, making her unhappy, but after hearing the shaless man’s plans of letting him taste all the delicacies around the world, she realized what a wonderful job it was. She could eat while searching for soone, and she was genuinely happy for Li Fugui.
Although the shaless man was despicable, he had, after all, done sothing good.
Then, Li Fugui turned to Yang Ming, "Yang Ming, I’m leaving. You’ll have to sort things out here; nobody to look after the courtyard, and you’ll have to find soone to make lunch."
"Yes, don’t worry, we’ll find soone else to do it."
"Also, I haven’t finished copying that book; could you help with it?"
"Yes."
After having lunch, Li Fugui went to say goodbye to his family, and Chu Lian then took him away. He couldn’t wait any longer; he had to send him off.
When Li Fugui left, Wang Xiangxiang felt a little regret, "Ah, we won’t enjoy delicious food anymore."
"..." Xiaoxiao was speechless. While she admitted he cooked exceptionally well, it wasn’t as if it was irreplaceable. "Sister Wang, I’ll cook for you these next few days."
Hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, Wang Xiangxiang’s eyes brightened up again, "That’s wonderful, you cook."
"..." Xiaoxiao was speechless. More than believing Wang Xiangxiang liked Li Fugui for who he was, Xiaoxiao was more convinced that she was a bona fide foodie.
