Picked Up A Diamond After Throwing Away Coal

Editor: Henyee Translations

After Lan Shu finished speaking, she did not want to waste her breath on Mrs. Xu anymore. She took a step back and was about to close the door.

However, when she took a step back, her back suddenly bumped into a firm and warm chest.

Lan Shu was stunned. She turned her head subconsciously and saw the side profile of the young man who had been recuperating in her house for the past few days!

When Mrs. Xu was cursing outside the door, Xiao Bai also heard the commotion and walked out.

Although Xiao Bai did not know what was going on outside, since the Lan family had taken him in, he should protect the Lan family.

Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan were not at home. Brother Dazhuang had also gone to work. As the only man in the family, he naturally could not let the fat miss be bullied!

Just as he was about to help the fat miss chase the woman away, Xiao Bai suddenly overheard that the fat miss was already married and divorced!

It turned out that the fat miss was pretty unlucky before this!

Now, her in-law even came to scold her. Xiao Bai could not help but frown.

After that, Xiao Bai heard the fat miss say that her family was rich. If she wanted to raise a kept man, she would!

Xiao Bai: "?"

Did the fat miss mean to say that he was a kept man?

Although he did not mind the fat miss being a divorcee, nor did he mind that she was heavier than him, he had never thought of marrying a wife.

And he… shouldn't be old enough to get married, right?

However, when he heard the other party say that no one wanted the fat miss, he could not help but get angry!

Hence, Lan Shu realized that after she accidentally bumped into Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai actually took the opportunity to hug her from behind?

Then, he lowered his head and met her gaze. In a low voice, he asked unhappily, "Can that Xu Yunjie be better-looking than me?"

Lan Shu: "…"

Listening to the young man's magnetic and pleasant voice as well as his resentful tone that sounded as if he was jealous…

She couldn't take it anymore!

Outside the door, Mrs. Xu saw with her own eyes the rumored new kept man of the Lan family. Not only was he young and handsome, but he was also a head taller than her son!

Her son seemed incomparable to that pretty boy from the Lan family…

Mrs. Xu never expected that not only was the lazy daughter of the Lan family not 'rotting' at home, but she also had such a kept man who seemed to like her?

This scene made Mrs. Xu's neck turn red!

The neighbors who were watching the show naturally saw the 'kept man' of the Lan family at this moment.

"How handsome! The lazy daughter of the Lan family has really picked up a diamond after throwing away coal."

"That's right. If I were 40 years younger, I wouldn't choose that heartless university graduate from the Xu family either!"

"The Lan family's daughter has benefited from this misfortune!"

"If that university graduate from the Xu family finds out that his divorced wife has found a young man who's even more handsome than him, he'll be depressed."

When the neighbors spoke, they did not deliberately lower their voices. The surrounding discussions entered Mrs. Xu's ears.

Although she knew in her heart that her son's appearance could not be compared to the handsome young man in front of her, she still felt embarrassed when outsiders made those remarks in front of her!

"You, you guys…" Mrs. Xu looked at Lan Shu and the handsome young man behind her with venomous eyes.

"How shameless of you to hug each other in broad daylight!"

In response, Xiao Bai stretched out his long arm and slammed the door shut!

This left Mrs. Xu standing outside the door…

When the surrounding villagers who were watching the show saw this scene, some of them could not help but laugh.

"Mrs. Xu, you shouldn't have come today. Lan Shu is right. She has already divorced your university graduate of a son. As her ex-mother-in-law, you really don't have the right to interfere in her matters."

"That's right. Coincidentally, your son doesn't like her either. Since the two of them are divorced, I'm sure your son will be happy. Why do you have to come here to make her unhappy?"

"The main thing is that not only did you fail to make her unhappy but you made yourself unhappy. Hehe!"

When she heard that the villagers were all on the Lan family's side, she was so angry that she immediately prepared to throw a tantrum at the Lan family's door!

At this moment, Mrs. Xu suddenly saw Lan Dazhuang, who was walking home with farming tools not far away.

Thinking of what Lan Shu had said about Lan Dazhuang confronting her, Mrs. Xu immediately felt a little scared. She immediately shut up, shrunk her neck, and ran away quickly…

When she got home, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

Not only did she not vent her anger on this trip and embarrass the Lan family, but she also let the neighbors see the Xu family as a joke for nothing! She even embarrassed the Xu family!

If she had known that the lazy daughter of the Lan family had such a sharp tongue, she would not have provoked her!

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it now…

When Lan Dazhuang returned to the Lan family's house, he found his sister in the kitchen!

His sister did not know how to cook, so her motive for going to the kitchen was obvious. She must have gone for Xiao Bai!

This was the first time Lan Shu had entered the kitchen while she was at home.

Although she used to cook some simple home-cooked dishes, in this era, she needed to start a fire to cook. It was really difficult for her.

In addition, the host had never done any chores at home in the past. No matter how busy her family was, they would not let her enter the kitchen as that would be 'wasting food'.

Hence, she focused on losing weight and did not overestimate herself by taking on the cooking job.

As the precious daughter of the Lan family, it was not a problem for her not to cook. However, the person who had been taken in by the Lan family, Xiao Bai, could not stay home and do nothing. However, he had yet to fully recover and could not do heavy work.

It was not that the Lan family wanted Xiao Bai to work. It was Xiao Bai who suggested that he could not eat and drink for free.

Therefore, he took the initiative to cook.

Although Xiao Bai did not have any memories of the past, he was no stranger to starting a fire and cooking. He got used to it immediately after getting familiar with it.

Not only did Xiao Bai know how to cook, but he felt that starting a fire was a basic skill.

In addition to cooking, he should know a lot of things.

In the past few days, he had nothing to do. With the Lan family's permission, he flipped through the books in the Lan family's third son's room. He could understand the syllabus of both high school and university textbooks. He knew them all.

So who was he in the past?

Xiao Bai wanted to know, but he could not find out by reuniting with his grandmother.

In his heart, the grandmother that the fat miss mentioned seemed to be someone very important to him. He definitely could not let the old lady worry about him.

Only Lan Shu, Lan Dazhuang, and Xiao Bai were eating lunch at home.

Before dinner, Lan Dazhuang would usually make a trip to the commune and school to deliver food to his parents.

But today, Lan Shu said that she would deliver the food in the future.

This was the current situation in the village. Every family, as long as they could work, would go to the fields to work. When the annual harvest came, the village would distribute the food according to the social credits each family had accumulated.
