Chapter 706 - 706: Being Ordinary Is a Blessing
“That’s right. Don’t you think it’s too much?” Li Xiaoran nodded and asked.
Luo Cheng said, “That’s right! It seems that Liu Mingkun’s identity isn’t that simple. Otherwise, where did he get so many gold bars?!”
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “It might not be because of his identity. Perhaps he has good luck!”
When people were in good luck, fortune came as well.
However, Liu Mingkun wasn’t upright, so even if he obtained wealth, he couldn’t keep it. Now, he had to give it up.
Luo Cheng asked, “What do you plan to do with this money, Xiaoran?”
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “I already said that I was going to raid the house, so I’m going to use it to compensate the victims. After giving out the compensation, I’ll use the rest to do something for the commoners in town!”
Luo Cheng teased, “Don’t you want to keep some?”
Li Xiaoran shook her head.
“A virtuous man makes his fortune in a legitimate way! I can earn money myself, so I don’t have to take wealth that doesn’t belong to me! It’s best to spend the money I earned myself!”
At this point, Li Xiaoran thought of something and suddenly smiled happily.
“However, if there’s a raid next time, please don’t forget to call me! For the first time in my life, I feel that raiding houses is actually very interesting!” Luo Cheng was amused when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
This was the first time he had heard someone say that it was fun to raid a house.
Others went to raid houses to reap some personal benefits.
Li Xiaoran, on the other hand, simply felt that raiding houses was interesting. “Alright, if there’s such an opportunity in the future, I’ll call you along!”
With Luo Cheng’s assurance, Li Xiaoran returned to her room to rest in satisfaction.
That night, Li Xiaoran slept very comfortably.
But that night, some people didn’t sleep well.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the public trial. Li Xiaoran woke up early in the morning to wash up and eat breakfast.
Last time, during Shatai Village’s public trial, she was too tired to go.
This time, Li Xiaoran naturally wouldn’t miss the public trial.
The public trial was held in a very spacious dam in town.
The officials had already built a platform. Many commoners around had also received the news and came to this place in advance to wait.
Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue didn’t follow Luo Cheng. Instead, they pretended to be onlookers and blended into the crowd.
Because Li Xiaoqing was one of the victims, she could only follow her parents this time.
Luo Cheng had changed his clothes and he exuded a noble and imposing aura that made people dare not to look at him directly.
In the past, they didn’t feel it up close, but now that they were standing in the crowd and looking at Luo Cheng from afar, he gave off a regal aura.
As expected, when a person stood close, one’s perception was limited.
However, when one stood far away, one could see many things clearly.
As her husband sat there with a straight face, he looked aloof and handsome.
A woman squeezed in and asked curiously, “Hey, have you heard? The person who’s going to be tried this time is Liu Mingkun! Who is this person?”
Another young woman sized up the woman and said, “Aren’t you a local? You don’t even know Liu Mingkun?”
The woman nodded and said, “That’s right! I’m not local. I followed my son here to do business!”
“No wonder you dont know! If you had a daughter, you would have known about this person long ago! Have you heard of the rapist?” The young woman explained when she saw that the woman really didn’t know.
“What do you mean?” The woman said in confusion, “Could it be that the person who’s going to be tried today is a rapist?”
The young woman said, “This man is even more ruthless than a rapist! This rapist not only raped girls, but he also ruined their families.”
“Let me tell you. Liu Mingkun is also very good at coaxing people. There’s no one he can’t coax. Those girls who were coaxed by Liu Mingkun all listen to him obediently. Even though they know that Liu Mingkun has many women around him, these women don’t make a fuss or get jealous. They get along very well! Some of them were scammed by Hong Mingkun into giving away their family assets!”
When the woman heard these words, she gasped.
“Oh my god, this person is really impressive. If any family with a daughter met such a person, they would be very unlucky!”
“That’s right. Ever since Liu Mingkun appeared in town, many families who doted on their daughters moved away from this troublesome place.” The young woman said, “Liu Mingkun doesn’t even let married women off the hook!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she looked at the young woman curiously.
The young woman happened to turn around. After Li Xiaoran took a look, she was immediately amused.
No wonder this young woman could say this. Because she looked very ordinary, she didn’t have to worry about being targeted by Liu Mingkun.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but marvel.
Sometimes, fortune and misfortune came together.
Some people hoped that their looks were outstanding enough to attract good marriage partners.
Ordinary-looking people naturally had fewer opportunities.
However, it was also because of this that there was much less trouble and life was much smoother.
Therefore, many things that seemed to be a disaster in the past became a blessing later on!
“Xiaoran, what are you thinking about?” Shu Ruyue asked curiously when she saw that Li Xiaoran was distracted.
Li Xiaoran said, “No, I’m thinking that sometimes being ordinary might not be a bad thing!”
Shu Ruyue laughed when she heard this.
“In the eyes of many people, you’re also ordinary, but ever since you married your husband, many people feel that you’re no longer ordinary!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.
“Being ordinary or not is just the label the world gives others! I feel that I’m very extraordinary because in this world, I’m just me. I’m the one and only me.
No one else can become me!”
“Of course. It’s indeed rare to see someone like you once in a thousand years!” Shu Ruyue said with a smile, “However, I’m glad I met you!”
Li Xiaoran looked at Shu Ruyue and said with a smile, “I’m also very glad to have met you!”
At that moment, the bailiffs’ voice sounded.
Shu Ruyue pulled Li Xiaoran and said excitedly, “Look, the public trial has begun!”
Li Xiaoran asked with a smile, “Why are you so excited? Didn’t you watch the public trial last time?”
“This is different!” Shu Ruyue replied..
