Chapter 574: Two Attitudes
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Xiaoran understood what Gao Chen meant, so she thought for a moment before answering, “There are many things in life we can’t influence, but we can at least decide our own attitude towards life. Even if the mountains collapse and the ground split, we can at least face everything with a smile!”
When Gao Chen heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he froze for a moment before falling silent.
During the rest of the time, Gao Chen became very silent.
After looking around the shop, Zhao Xiu saw He Hui selling something, so the two of them chatted.
Bored, Li Xiaoran also strolled around the stalls on both sides of the official road.
There were many more people who set up stalls on both sides of the official road to sell things.
There were even fruit stalls beside the official road. Not only was the price affordable, but the vendor would also help customers peel and cut the fruits into pieces.
Because customers could eat delicious fruits without needing to do anything, this stall was doing well.
In addition, there were also people selling water.
In addition to boiling water and cold water, there was also juice and salt water. After Li Xiaoran saw this, she couldn’t help but admire these people’s business acumen.
As she walked, Li Xiaoran suddenly saw a very familiar figure.
The other party seemed to have noticed Li Xiaoran walking over and quickly lowered his head, as if he didn’t want Li Xiaoran to see him.
When Li Xiaoran saw the few mountain mushrooms placed in front of that person, she sighed.
To be honest, Li Xiaoran could barely recognize that the person in front of her was her cousin, Zhao Lijun.
In her impression, her cousin, Zhao Lijun, was a high-spirited young man, but he actually became like this for the sake of a woman.
Thinking of what she had heard about her second uncle’s family from Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoran didn’t Imow if she should say that her cousin was a hopeless romantic or a good-for-nothing!
Li Xiaoran pretended not to see him and walked forward calmly.
Just as Zhao Lijun heaved a sigh of relief, Li Xiaoran walked back.
“These mushrooms look very fresh! You must have spent a lot of effort to find and pick them! Working and earning money with your own abilities isn’t a shameful thing, but an honorable thing! If you’re still the cousin I know, Zhao Lijun, then raise your head high and act like a dignified person!”
With that, Li Xiaoran turned around and left.
On account that they were all relatives, Li Xiaoran couldn’t bear to see a good young man’s future become ruined like this.
Everyone made mistakes.
Mistakes were not scary. What was scary was being unable to recover from mistakes.
Li Xiaoran didn’t think it was worth it to become so dispirited because of a woman.
Many women felt that if a man was dispirited because of them, it meant that he really cared about them.
However, for Li Xiaoran, such a man had to be reconsidered.
If he was dispirited for a moment but quickly pulled himself together, such a man was worth paying attention to.
But if he kept on moping, one would rather not have such a man!
Because in life, there were always obstacles waiting for everyone.
It would be very tiring to live with a man who didn’t have any responsibility.
She hoped that her words would make Zhao Lijun come to his senses! The Hu family of White Foothill City hadn’t appeared in Hele Village for a few days.
Just as everyone was about to forget about the Hu family, Miss Hu appeared.
Previously, Miss Hu had met Zhao Lijun when she went to the noodle shop to eat noodles.
Now, if Miss Hu wanted to meet Zhao Yan, she could only enter the village.
Because Zhao Yan was a homebody, no one had ever seen him leave the village.
In fact, Zhao Yan was walking around the mountain at this moment and looked as if he was checking something.
At this moment, he was carrying a basket on his back as he searched the pine forest for pine fungi.
It had rained heavily a few days ago, so these few days, pine mushrooms were popping up in large quantities.
Having grown up in the forest for a long time, he was naturally familiar with the mountain treasures that could be picked at this time.
Thinking of the things from Li Xiaoran his parents had sent him, Zhao Yan wanted to do something to repay Li Xiaoran.
Favors had to be reciprocated.
Xiaoran was so good to him. He didn’t have the ability to give her anything precious, so he could only try to search for what she liked.
Zhao Yan knew that Li Xiaoran liked to eat delicious things. Coincidentally, pine fungus was very delicious.
Therefore, after Zhao Yan made up his mind, he brought the basket up the mountain to pick pine mushrooms.
Zhao Yan was very lucky to have filled up half a basket of pine mushrooms in just two hours.
Zhao Yan muttered, “Pick some more! My cousin will definitely like it! ”
Miss Hu guarded the village for a long time but couldn’t find Zhao Yan, so she stomped her feet in anger.
“Hmph, Zhao Yan, I don’t believe that you won’t appear! If I can’t see you today, I’ll come again tomorrow. In the future, I’ll come every day. I’ll see how you can hide!”
With that, Miss Hu turned around and left angrily.
Coincidentally, not long after Miss Hu left, Zhao Yan returned from the mountain with joy.
However, Zhao Yan didn’t return to the village directly. Instead, he went to Luo Cheng’s house.
After knowing that Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng weren’t around, Zhao Yan left the pine fungus to Zi Zheng, who was taking care of the family.
“This is the pine fungus I picked on the mountain. I hope you can help me pass it to her!”
Zi Zheng knew Zhao Yan. When he saw that the other party was covered in pine fur, his face was red from sweat, and the soles of his shoes were stained with a lot of mud, he knew how much sincerity Zhao Yan had.
Zi Zheng said, “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll definitely convey your feelings to Madam!”
Zhao Yan smiled and nodded before turning to leave.
Watching Zhao Yan leave, Zi Zheng couldn’t help but mutter.
“We’re both from the Zhao family. Why is there such a big difference?!” Things were always easier for people who knew how to be grateful to others.
Zhao Yan was such a person.
When Li Xiaoran returned and learned that Cousin Zhao Yan had sent a basket of pine fungi, she was immediately touched.
“It seems that Zhao Yan will definitely be a promising person in the future. The heavens always rewards people who know how to be grateful!”
Out of gratitude towards Zhao Yan, Li Xiaoran placed for the pine fungus at the dining table.
After using a few chickens to stew a pot of pine fungus, Li Xiaoran gave some to everyone.
She sent some to her grandparents, her parents, and Granny Jin. It had to be said that the soup made from this fungus was delicious!
