Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother Chapter 187

187 Let Me Tell You Something

“Uh-huh.”

Xiaoguo nodded affirmatively.

Qin Anming shook his head in disbelief. “That's impossible. How can she not be crazy?”

“Really!” Seeing that Qin Anming still didn't believe her, Xiaoguo sat down on the bed. “When I came back just now, I saw her crouching in front of our house. When I called her, she hid in a corner. And when I walked towards her, she ran away.”

Qin Anming's mouth was wide open when he heard Xiaoguo's words. Li Zhaodi had run away. How was that possible? How could such a miracle happen just because she saw Xiaoguo?

He simply couldn't believe it. He had seen Li Zhaodi's behavior over the past few days. How could a normal person do those things?

Although Li Zhaodi wasn't pretty, she was still a woman who paid a lot of attention to her appearance. He really couldn't believe that she would smear her own face with feces and urine just to act crazy.

But Xiaoguo was very sure that Li Zhaodi was just pretending. Qin Anming hesitated again. Xiaoguo had sharp eyes, but then…

“Why would she do that?”

Qin Anming already believed what Xiaoguo said, but he couldn't figure out why Li Zhaodi was pretending to be crazy.

Xiaoguo smiled at Qin Anming. “Of course it's because she doesn't want to become homeless.”

“Why do you say that?”

Qin Anming still didn't understand. Didn't she have a place to stay now?

Xiaoguo was stunned. It seemed like he didn't know that Li Dahai had sold the house.

She briefly explained to Qin Anming what Li Dahai had done. Qin Anming was mystified. He didn't know that the man was so wicked.

“…Do you now understand?” Xiaoguo's mouth was dry from talking. She picked up the glass of water and took a sip. Then she said, “Because of this, Li Zhaodi acted crazy to gain everyone's sympathy. Being in this state, how could the village chief take back her house and leave her homeless?”

Qin Anming shut his mouth and nodded. This was shocking. Li Dahai was actually so shameless. What a scum!

However, if that was the case, Li Zhaodi was pretending to be crazy just so that the village wouldn't take back her house. So the part where she kept pestering any man she met was also part of her crazy act?

Qin Anming couldn't figure it out, so he directed his question to Xiaoguo.

As soon as the question was asked, Xiaoguo hesitated. If she had pounced on men to make people think that she was crazy, why did she only pounce on unmarried men?

Xiaoguo thought of something, but she wasn't too sure about it. She had to make sure she was right before telling Qin Anming about it. Li Zhaodi's ultimate goal should be revealed soon.

“Brother, don't go out alone for the time being.”

Xiaoguo thought about it and said to Qin Anming.

“Why? Isn't Li Zhaodi pretending to be crazy?”

Qin Anming didn't quite understand what Xiaoguo was saying. Since she was pretending to be crazy, everything should be fine.

“… because… I'll tell you in a few days.”

Xiaoguo didn't know how to tell him. She was worried about scaring him again. Based on her initial guess, Li Zhaodi's target was Qin Anming.

However, Xiaoguo couldn't tell Qin Anming this. His hatred for Li Zhaodi was indescribable. Whenever he heard her name, he looked completely repulsed. If he knew that Li Zhaodi was eyeing him, he might faint immediately.

“You're being so mysterious.”

Qin Anming glanced at Xiaoguo who was acting all secretive. However, it was fine for him to stay home. In any case, he wouldn't be able to leave the house for the next few days.

Seeing that he had no objections, Xiaoguo got up to leave. But after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Qin Anming hesitantly. “Brother, do you have a weak heart?”

Qin Anming was puzzled. What was she talking about? What about his heart?

“I want to tell you something.”

Xiaoguo thought of Jiang Danhe. If she didn't tell her brother now, she would probably forget about it later.

She realized that she had been quite forgetful recently, so once she had something in mind, she had to do it quickly before it slipped her mind.

“Go ahead.”

Qin Anming took a gulp and looked at Xiaoguo. His heart was trembling and he straightened his back. “Did something big happen…?”

Xiaoguo slowly walked to the bed and sat down. She was thinking about how to explain the matter so that Qin Anming wouldn't think of her as crazy.

“The thing is… when we went to the capital, we saw… Jiang Danhe…”

As Xiaoguo spoke, she kept a close watch on Qin Anming's reaction. She was worried about scaring him.

“Yes, yes.” Hearing Xiaoguo's words, Qin Anming nodded in understanding. He had only thought of this not long after Xiaoguo and Zhuang Zhuang left. “You mean Jiang Danhe's cenotaph, right? I thought of it too not long after you left. I wanted to inform you at that time, but…”

“Brother, brother, stop!”

Xiaoguo listened as Qin Anming veered further and further away from the topic. She was getting more puzzled as he went on. She decided to tell him directly to prevent his imagination from getting out of hand. Besides, she didn't believe that a man's heart could be so weak.

“Brother, Jiang Danhe is still alive, he's now in the capital.”

“Brother?”

Xiaoguo nudged Qin Anming, who had not reacted to her words. She felt a little uneasy. Has his heart stopped beating?

“Are you serious?!”

Qin Anming finally reacted. In the next instant, he was completely overjoyed. His expression and tone made it seem like Jiang Danhe was his husband.

Xiaoguo looked at Qin Anming, who was clapping and cheering. She was worried for nothing. Jiang Danhe would be happy to see such a reaction because this was the scene he was hoping for during the reunion with Xiaoguo and Zhuang Zhuang.

“… I think that's quite enough…”

Xiaoguo looked at Qin Anming, who was so happy that he was about to stand up. This was a little too much. Even as Jiang Danhe's wife, she was not as excited as Qin Anming.

“Xiaoguo, you don't understand. I'm happy for you, I'm happy for Zhuang Zhuang, I'm happy for your family!”

Qin Anming coughed excitedly. He suddenly looked less sickly and a rosy tinge had appeared on his face.

“Alright, alright, Brother…”

Xiaoguo quickly stood up and calmed him down.

“Ahem, Xiaoguo.” Qin Anming held Xiaoguo's hand and pulled her to sit down. “You have no idea. When I was dragged down into the river by Li Zhaodi that day, all I could think about was you. How are you going to live on by yourself if I die? You'll really be alone as a widow and as an orphan. I'm anxious and afraid. Although I am not super capable, at least with me around, you won't be alone or be bullied by anyone. But… if something really happens to me, at least Danhe is around. This way, when I die, I'll feel more at ease. When I meet our parents, I'll have a clear conscience too.”

“Brother… What are you talking about!”

Xiaoguo started to cry when she heard that. She couldn't help but interrupt him. “Why are you saying such inauspicious things? You're well and alive! Why talk about all these?”

Qin Anming's heart ached as he wiped her tears. “Xiaoguo, don't cry. I am just saying what if…”

“No what if's!”

Xiaoguo refused to let him continue. Wiping away her tears, she shook off his hand and turned away from him.

“Alright, alright. I'll stop talking. I have to live to be a hundred years old.”

Qin Anming couldn't bear to see Xiaoguo cry. Those words were at the tip of his tongue and he just had to let it all out.

To be honest, after the last time he fell into the water, he was really afraid. In that instant, he thought about many things. He basically regretted not taking good care of Xiaoguo. After escaping death, he wanted to have a good talk with her and do his best to pave the way for her future. Even if an accident really happened one day, he would be able to leave in peace.
