Chapter 184 - Resolution (1)

After Little Five crying fit ended, the neighboring hut was quiet for a while. Afterwards, Li Xiangyu endlessly talked about something without getting to the point. Her voice wasn't loud, so Li Man wasn't able to clearly hear her words.

About two hours later, she finally heard Hehua shouting that it was time to eat, and the sounds from the neighboring hut got a little bit louder.

Honestly, after waiting until now to eat, she had already gotten hungry a while ago. But, if she went to the kitchen now, she would definitely meet Li Xiangyu again. Perhaps, there would be another unavoidable dispute.

She wasn't scared of her. She just disliked people like her, who liked to argue for no good reason. Moreover, she didn't want Li Mo to suffer. He would get stuck between them if they argued. Also, no matter how unreasonable Li Xiangyu was, she wouldn't be able to stay in the Li family's home for long, so it wasn't worthwhile to argue with her.

And so, she didn't head over to the kitchen with everyone. She planned on waiting until everyone was done eating, then she would go to the kitchen and find something to fill her stomach.

In the kitchen, Hehua had already diligently placed the plates of food onto the table. In addition, she invited Li Xiangyu to sit down in the head seat. "Aunty, try this pig head meat. It smells really good."

Li Xiangyu smiled and meaningfully looked at Hehua. "Add some to Li Mo's bowl. Last time, he said he loves to eat this."

"Oh," Hehua agreed. She quickly and attentively used chopsticks to add a big amount of meat into Li Mo's bowl.

Li Mo wasn't overly politely. After saying thank you, he added a heaping pile of two types of vegetables onto his bowl. Then, he got up and started to leave the kitchen.

"Where are you going?" Li Xiangyu harshly glared at him. She obviously saw through his intention.

Li Mo didn't turn his head. He only said, "I'll come back soon." He quickly walked out, knocked on the western hut's door, and softly called out, "Man-er."

Li Man thought he was just calling her to eat with them, so she said, "You guys can go ahead and eat first."

"Not hungry?" Li Mo had already pushed open the door. He brought the bowl of food towards her. "Eat it while it's still hot. If it's not enough, I'll bring more over."

Li Man got up and smiled as she looked at the heaping pile of food in the bowl. "Did you give me all of the food? Do they have enough?" She had cooked most of the food, so she had a good idea of how much cooked food there would be.

"You should eat first." Seeing her smile, Li Mo smiled too.

Li Man was genuinely hungry, so she wasn't overly polite. Picking up the bowl, she started to eat. When she saw there were several pieces of thinly cut pig head meat, she picked up one piece to try.

"En, it tastes pretty good." She deliberately looked at him and meaningfully said, "Miss Hehua's cooking skills are pretty good."

Li Mo didn't know if she was being sincere or if she was teasing him.

The corner of Li Mo's lips slightly curved up. His gaze was heated. Immediately after, he said, "I like to eat the fish that Man-er cooks more."

"..." The implicit meaning of these words was too obvious. Li Man blushed and lowered her head. She mumbled, "Hurry, go back and eat. There wasn't much food cooked for lunch."

After saying "oh", Li Mo left the hut.

Inside the kitchen, Li Xiangyu hadn't moved her chopsticks. She only looked at the doorway with a blackened expression. She waited until Li Mo returned, then she immediately snarled, "This is certainly a rare sight. She won't come here to eat, so you bring over food for her. Are you still a man?"

Next to her, Li Xiangcao quietly tried to persuade her, "Older sister, it wouldn't be right to prevent her from eating."
