To be honest, after this series of events, Li Xia was very upset.

She had even carefully verified this with her man, but what she received were hurtful words in return.

She didn’t care about what others said.

However, when she heard the person closest to her say such hurtful words, Li Xia felt heartbroken.

She thought she had done everything a wife should do.

She thought that she had given all her sincerity, but what she got in exchange was this outcome.

For a moment, Li Xia felt aggrieved.

She resented the heavens for what she had experienced. Her life had been much bumpier than others’.

When she was young, her dad died while her mom got remarried, and her

clansmen abandoned them.

She was the one who worked her butt off at a young age to raise her brother all these years and got him married.

Unexpectedly, after her brother married a woman, the woman started to despise her for being a hindrance.

In order not to make things difficult for her brother, Li Xia took a fancy to Nie Yue.

Although Nie Yue wasn’t good-looking, Li Xia wasn’t a beauty either. At most, she had a cute appearance.

Therefore, she didn’t despise Nie Yue’s looks or his poor family. Because Nie Yue was motivated, she was willing to marry him.

After they got married, the two of them had been doing business together.

Not only did she have to take care of Nie Yue’s family, but she also had to work hard with Nie Yue to do business.

She had worked hard and given him everything in hopes that their family’s life would get better and better.

Unexpectedly, this sudden change made her previous efforts seem like a joke.

Although everyone around her pitied her, there were very few people who really felt sorry for her. Most of them were just being patronizing.

If it weren’t for the fact that she still had a child, so as a mother, she should pull herself together, she really wasn’t as tough as others thought. However, after so many years of experience, Li Xia had developed a resilient mentality.

No matter what happened, she just needed to cry it all out. When the sun rose the next day, she should start to face her life and think seriously about what to do next.

No matter how painful the past was, it was in the past. She had to live in the present and the future.

That was why she acted so calm and rational in front of others.

However, she didn’t understand what to do next until this letter appeared!

After crying heartily, Li Xia’s eyes were red and swollen.

Because she was too engrossed in crying, she didn’t notice that Nie Huai, who had already fallen asleep, had woken up again.

Seeing his mother, who he thought was very capable, cry so sadly, Nie Huai seemed to have matured at this moment.

“Mother, take me away! Leave this place. Anyvvhere is fine, as long as you don’t see my father again!”

Li Xia stopped crying and looked up at her eight-year-old son.

“Mother, I hope you can live a happy life! My father can’t give you happiness, and you can’t find happiness here, so leave this place! Don’t worry, I’ll be filial to you when I grow up!” Nie Huai said again.

That night, Li Xiaoran saw Li Xia and her son, Nie Huai, in the room.

“Miss Li, we’ve already thought it through. We’re willing to leave this place with you!” Li Xia explained her intentions without hesitation. “We only want a place to stay and a job to support our family. Miss Li, please help us!”

“I’ve already written in the letter that if you have any difficulties, feel free to look for me! Since you want to leave this place, leave with us tomorrow morning! Ruyue, help me book a guest room for the mother and son first and let them rest well. We’ll set off together tomorrow morning!” Li Xiaoran helped arrange the mother and son’s living quarters.

“Have you guys had dinner?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked again.

“Miss Li, we’ve already had dinner! Thank you for your kindness!” Li Xia said gratefully.

Actually, before coming, Li Xia was a little nervous. After all, she didn’t know Li Xiaoran and had never seen her before, so she didn’t know her character at all.

However, after seeing Li Xiaoran, Li Xia finally felt at ease.

To attain her business achievements, Li Xia had some mastery in judging

Li Xiaoran gave off a natural sense of affinity. Her appearance, bearing, and gaze gave people a pleasant feeling. She didn’t seem like a ruthless person.

Li Xia was willing to follow Li Xiaoran.

Soon, Ruyue booked a guest room and brought the mother and son down to rest.

On the other side, Luo Cheng waited for her to leave before asking, “Do you want to recruit her? Is that why you wrote the letter today?”

“That’s right! Firstly, I pity her encounter, and secondly, I think Li Xia is a talent. We’re short of manpower now! Husband, don’t forget that you still have a farm and a grilled fish shop. You need manpower everywhere, and she’s a capable person. It’s rare to meet someone we like. If she can help, let’s hire her! We can recruit her so that we can save time and effort in the future!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile.

Luo Cheng had no intention of objecting to Li Xiaoran’s decision. Besides, Li Xia was indeed outstanding.

Since his wife recruited her, it must mean that she was quite capable!

Luo Cheng thought of something and said, “We can take them away, but after we reach White Foothill City, let’s separate! We don’t even know how to deal with White Foothill City’s situation yet!”

“Actually, we can go home first before sending people to investigate White Foothill City. Husband, think about it. If the few of us go to White Foothill City again, we’ll definitely be walking into a trap. Why don’t we go back first and protect our family before thinking about a solution? After all, we still have Luo Han to help us in town. No matter what, Luo Han is an official. Wouldn’t it be more convenient for him to go and investigate?” Li Xiaoran said.

“I’m just afraid that the people from White Foothill City have already found out about our relationship and that Luo Han is being watched!” Luo Cheng said.

“If someone is monitoring Luo Han, there will definitely be someone in our village and shop..” When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she said, “Why don’t we go to the mountain first and then change our appearance before contacting Ziyang?!”
