Chapter 1211: Chapter 5: The Pearl Collector and the Princess

Some people are just lucky, they find a fool, and have that fool wrapped around their finger.

Before she could speak, Li Anqing, who had just returned, overheard. Li Anqing rebutted unceremoniously, “It’s only right for me to treat my wife well. That’s what a real man should be like. If you’re jealous, just say it. Instead of taking jabs at my wife, you should go home and ponder how to change your own man, make him treat you well! If you can’t figure it out, come to my wife for advice, ask her how she makes me treat her so well.”

The women were stunned. They had never heard such words, never experienced this kind of reverse thinking. Li Anqing’s words were like a bolt of lightning, opening a new world for them!

“Come on, wife, let’s go home and I’ll make you some oil-braised shrimp. I’ll even peel the shells for you.” Li Anqing called Wang Linglan to go home together, and he said this loudly before leaving.

Wang Linglan just felt a warmth in her heart that was about to overflow, her eyes turned sour. She took a deep breath, held back her tears, and followed her husband home. Ever since then, Wang Linglan noticed the women’s attitudes in the village towards her had changed. They no longer sneered at her, and some even quietly sought her advice, asking her how she managed to get her husband to behave so well.

Wang Linglan understood in her heart that her husband wasn’t trained; he was just that good by nature, it was her husband who changed her, making her better as well. However, these words wouldn’t be believed by those women, so she could only share some instances of how she and her husband interacted. After hearing her, the women seemed to ponder deeply. Later, indeed, some women found that after following Wang Linglan’s advice, their husbands treated them better. As a result, they formed better relationships with Wang Linglan.

This was exactly the scene Li Anqing wanted to see. People always need friends. Even if it’s superficial friendships, it’s good to have someone to talk to and chat about life’s trivialities.

Today, Li Anqing wasn’t going out to sea; he originally planned to take Qinghe to town to buy some things. However, Qinghe shook her head, indicating she didn’t want to go, then pointed to the seaside, expressing a desire to play at the beach.

“No, it’s going to rain today, it’s too dangerous,” Wang Linglan immediately objected.

Li Qinghe looked at Li Anqing pitiably, shook his arm, then gestured to indicate she would just play for a while and would definitely come home before it rains.

“Fine, go ahead, but remember not to play for too long, you must come back before it rains.” Li Anqing’s heart was already melted by his daughter’s pitiful look, and he agreed at once.

“You, you just know how to spoil her.” Wang Linglan shook her head with a smile, then patted Li Qinghe’s head, “Go on, come back early. Otherwise, I’ll tell your dad not to buy you any sugar-coated haws.”

Li Qinghe nodded vigorously, then waved to Li Anqing and Wang Linglan, turned, and ran off.

“This little rascal.” Wang Linglan muttered, then shouted loudly at Li Qinghe’s back, “Run slower, be careful not to fall.”

Li Qinghe didn’t look back, just waved her hand.

Li Qinghe kept running towards the beach, running in one direction on the soft sand, finally arriving at a low pile of rocks where she found a hole and slipped inside. After walking a few steps, she grabbed a vine and climbed up skillfully. Once she reached the top, there was a quiet little path underfoot, and following the path forward, there was something special ahead. It was a delicate little courtyard, someone was already standing at the courtyard gate waiting for her.
