Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 171

Planting vegetables, raising chickens, and cultivating fish – now the family could feast to their heart's content!

"Well, well, moving out?" Louisa stood at the gate, arms folded, a smirk playing on her lips.

Norris Cole was too busy shoveling the earth to pay her any mind, grunting with the effort.

Madge, upon hearing Louisa's voice from inside, instantly retracted the foot she had set towards the door.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Louisa snorted. "Feeling proud, are we? Got kicked out, didn’t you…"

"Louisa, off to the market?"

On her way back from the market, Louisa ran into an old friend.

"Yep, grabbed some eggs. They're half the price now compared to the early morning rush!" Louisa said, eyebrows raised in pride.

She wasn’t boasting – no one in the educators' residential area had a knack for budgeting and planning quite like her.

"Next time, I’ll shop at this hour too. Oh, have you heard? Your neighbor, Mr. Cole, is moving."

Louisa nodded. "Heard about it. Wonder where they’re renting now. Could it be as convenient as our place?"

Psh! Grown men playing tough.

If he can't stand it, just move, saves her the trouble of climbing up every two months to trim those annoying vines.

Her friend whispered, "Do you think it’s because of the spat you had, that they decided to move?"

Louisa lifted her chin in defiance. "Well, I wouldn’t know. If that's the case, it just shows some people can’t take a loss!"

"You’re something else, hehe. Now you can take over their yard for more of your gardening…"

"Don’t tempt me; I was already considering it!" Louisa’s eyes sparkled with the thought.

"What are you two gossiping about?" Another neighbor hurried past. "Hurry up and get your sweets! They’ll be gone soon…"

Louisa blinked. "What sweets?"
