Chapter 41: The Witch

Li Feng's grandmother, Lu Chunlan, couldn't stand it anymore. She picked up the tickler on the bed and poked it directly at Li Feng, scolding him, "Xiao Feng, how dare you talk to a girl like that? How can you talk like that?"

Hearing this, Lin Menghan was secretly delighted, then slowly lowered her head shyly.

Wang Xiurong and Lu Chunlan looked at each other, nodded secretly in their hearts, and were extremely satisfied.

When Li Feng saw this, his expression changed and he tried to pull Lin Menghan again.

Wang Xiurong took out two hundred yuan, stuffed it into Li Feng's hand, and said, "Hurry up and go to the village supermarket and buy some fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as braised meat and vegetables..."

Li Feng didn't want to go and glared at Lin Menghan.

Lu Chunhua was displeased and poked at him with a tickler.

Li Feng had no choice but to go.

Lin Menghan lowered her head, feeling extremely proud.

Li Feng took the money and walked quickly out to the street.

Li Youquan stood on the ladder and saw it from a distance. He wondered, "Why did Li Feng come back at this time? He brought a girl with him. She's quite pretty... Damn, he moved so many boxes of wine, but he didn't even bring me two bottles? I really didn't recognize him as my nephew..."

Under the ladder, Li Youquan's wife Chu Dongmei heard it, her eyes narrowed, she slapped her thigh and cursed:

"Li Youquan, you coward, why don't you come down quickly? If Li Feng sees you, he will definitely come to you to collect the debt..."

"Let me be frank with you. If you return that 100,000 yuan, I'll kill you!"

When Li Youquan heard this, he immediately slid down the ladder, ran to the doorway, locked the door, and said, "Dongmei, if that kid comes over, just tell him I'm not at home. I'm not at home."

As he said this, he looked around, made up his mind, picked up a basket, and jumped into the pigpen that had been idle for a long time.

Li Feng walked quickly to the small supermarket in the village, bought some things, and then ran home quickly.

As soon as he entered the yard, he smelled the aroma of food coming from the west room.

"mom……"

Li Feng entered the house carrying vegetables and meat.

"What vegetables did you buy? Oh, tomatoes, leeks, celery, and cauliflower... Let's stir-fry a few more dishes today..." Wang Xiurong was holding a shovel and pondering.

Li Feng took a quick look and didn't see Lin Menghan in the kitchen, so he said, "Mom, you misunderstood. This reporter Lin is really not my girlfriend. My girlfriend is in City B..."

Wang Xiurong glared at Li Feng, interrupted him, and said earnestly:

"You are so foolish! You won't entertain ordinary friends?"

"Besides, you know our family situation. We have no house, no car, and we're still in debt. You should be thankful that a girl likes you. You're still so picky. Do you think this was ten years ago? There are so many young men in the village who can't find wives now. In your situation, if you don't hurry up, you'll definitely be single."

"Hurry up, help me. First, disembowel that hand and cut up that piece of pig's head meat..."

Li Feng was speechless. He brought over the chopping board and started cutting while persuading her, "Mom, I really don't have any feelings for this reporter Lin. Besides, she has a very bad temper and often gets angry..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiurong scolded, "No feelings? You two have feelings for each other everywhere. Before your father and I got married, we didn't even know each other."

"As for temper, what girl doesn't have a temper? Your mother had one too. Don't worry, once we get married and have children, her temper will definitely be smoothed out..."

Li Feng was dumbfounded.

How come we're getting married and having kids so quickly?

What kind of magic potion did this witch Lin Menghan give my mother?

“Ouch!”

Li Feng was distracted for a moment and the sharp knife cut his finger.

Wang Xiurong took one look and scolded, "Hey, I asked you to cut some meat, and you can't even do it right... Go pick the vegetables, hurry up, what are you standing there for? If you keep standing there, how long will this meal take?"

As he said that, Wang Xiurong snatched the knife and threw the cauliflower to Li Feng.

Li Feng tore off a piece of cloth to wrap the wound, picked some vegetables, sorted out his thoughts, and said seriously:

"Mom, I really do have a girlfriend now. She's a nurse at the B City People's Hospital. We have a great relationship. I might bring her back in a few months so you can see her."

"Now you're so good, inviting me to chat and have dinner. If this gets out, won't it make things difficult for me?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiurong stabbed the knife on the chopping board and said, "I just like this Miss Lin. What's wrong? Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"

"When a man pursues a woman, it's like a mountain between them. When a woman pursues a man, it's like a layer of gauze between them. No matter how good your relationship with your girlfriend was, that was in the past. Who knows whether it will work out in the future? What if it doesn't work out?"

"What's going on? You have to leave yourself a way out."

"I'm risking my reputation tonight to treat you to this meal!"

Wang Xiurong cooked with a sullen face.

Li Feng stayed by his side, wanting to leave but unable to.

A few moments later, the table was filled with hot food.

Grandma Lu Chunlan sat in the middle, with Wang Xiurong and Lin Menghan on her left and right. Li Feng sat next to Lin Menghan, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Come, Menghan, try the cauliflower and pork stir-fry that my aunt made..."

Wang Xiurong greeted with a smile.

Lin Menghan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece, ate it, and praised softly, "It's delicious."

Lu Chunlan looked at it and said with a smile:

"Yes, it's delicious... Come... try this braised beef. It's braised by the Zhang family in the village. I heard the braising liquid is over ten years old..."

"real?"

Lin Menghan smiled and took a small bite, savoring it, and continued to praise, "It's delicious, even better than the braised meat shop in City B."

"Then, when you leave, take a few more pounds home to eat. Xiaofeng, remember to buy them." Lu Chunlan reminded.

"Oh... okay."

Li Feng looked at Lin Menghan's pretending to be a lady and wanted to pinch her hard to wake her up.

Lin Menghan suddenly realized something, turned her beautiful eyes and smiled proudly.

Li Feng was so angry that he put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Lin Menghan’s brain. She actually tricked her own mother and grandmother, leaving her powerless and unable to use her strength.

After eating for a while, Lin Menghan, Wang Xiurong and Lu Chunlan became more and more interested in each other. Li Feng couldn't stand it anymore, so he found an excuse, stood outside the yard, and looked at the sky.

The sky was pitch black, without a single star or moon in sight. Occasionally, something cool would fall.

“It’s snowing.”

Li Feng turned around and shouted into the house.

"Oh, what should I do? The roads are slippery due to the snow, and it's not safe to drive..." Wang Xiurong walked out of the house and looked at the white ground. She was surprised and a little happy.

Lin Menghan came out, bit her red lips and looked at him. After hesitating for a moment, she said:

"Auntie, how about I stay at your house tonight? I can take Li Feng to do some work tomorrow."

"This..." Li Feng was a little dumbfounded.

Lu Chunlan quickly responded, "Okay, okay, tonight the three of us will squeeze into one room, and Xiaofeng, you can stay in the other one, that's perfect."

After hearing this, Wang Xiurong secretly praised Lin Menghan for being sensible and liked her more and more.
