Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 44 House Pests

In the Luo family kitchen, Liu Aihong pulled Luo Ning aside and said worriedly, "Da Ya, you bought so much grain for the family, how much money did that cost! You've spent all the money I had saved for you, what are we going to do in the future?"

She was shocked when she went to get the grain; there were at least five or six hundred pounds of grain and a lot of meat at home.

The roads were slippery and the weather was cold in the snow. How did Daya manage to carry it all the way back? Just thinking about it makes her heart ache.

"Mom—" Luo Ning felt a warmth in her heart, and all her anger vanished. She hugged Liu Aihong and acted coquettishly, "I am a member of the family, and it is only right that I do my part for our family. Xie Chang'an will send me money, so I won't go hungry!"

All the food and meat were free; she took them all from her spatial storage.

Feeding her parents the food she grew with spring water was good for their health.

"You silly girl!" Liu Aihong was happy, gratified, and a little heartbroken.

Zheng Xiu'e watched with envy, thinking of her own family...

Forget it, she can just continue washing vegetables.

Luo Ning went to the granary to get some things to prepare lunch. Liu Aihong had asked her to cook lunch today!

In her past life, she was a lone wolf. Although she was a good cook, she was self-sufficient, and even Pi Zi Cai had never eaten her cooking.

She had never hosted such a large banquet before, and she was getting excited just thinking about it.

Before long, Luo Ning discovered that a piece of beef was missing from the granary...

Haha... Luo Jing, you're great! I'll give you a boo!

Luo Ning went outside with her things and saw Huwa circling around Zheng Xiu'e, who was tending the fire in front of the stove. She fried some potato fries and offered them to Huwa.

Tiger Cub approached, drooling, and stretched out his dark little paws to grab it.

Luo Ning's gaze swept over the injury on Huwa's hand, and she handed him a pair of chopsticks. "Eat with chopsticks, blow on them so you don't burn yourself!"

Tiger Cub snatched the chopsticks and eagerly started eating the potato strips.

"Luoning, look what you specially prepared for him! He ate a full breakfast before coming out!" Zheng Xiue felt a little guilty.

"It was just a small thing!" Luo Ning said with a smile, but he was thinking to himself.

This wasn't the first time she'd noticed injuries on Huwa's body, like he'd been whipped...

Zheng Xiu'e felt a warmth in her heart, and suddenly an idea popped into her head.

She glanced at Luo Ning, walked over to her, and lowered her voice, "Tie Jun asked me to tell you that Luo Jing took some things from home this morning to see Jian Yin, and then Jian Yin's mother agreed to have the village doctor treat her!"

Luo Ning's heart sank to the bottom. This wasn't her sister; it was a rat that had come to life.

After she finishes her work today, she's going to take good care of the pests in her house.

Luo Ning, Liu Aihong, and Zheng Xiue were so busy in the kitchen that their feet barely touched the ground, like spinning tops.

Luo Ning's second uncle called the whole family over. After eating melon seeds and drinking water several times, Luo Jing finally went home.

As soon as Luo Jing entered the door, she went straight to the kitchen to find something to eat; she was a little hungry after playing outside for so long.

She saw Huwa eating potato fries and was very envious, so she reached out and tried to snatch them.

Tiger Cub was possessive of his food, and the two started fighting on the spot.

Feeling a little awkward, Zheng Xiu'e immediately pulled her child, "Huwa, let go, give it to Auntie!"

"No, Aunt Ning gave it to me, so it's mine!" Huwa grabbed the bowl and refused to let go.

Liu Aihong was furious. She grabbed a rolling pin and slapped it at Luo Jing, yelling, "You brat, how old are you and you're still stealing things!"

Luo Jing doesn't help with chores and even tries to take them from the child; her temper flares up like a storm.

"You're so biased! You gave me a cotton-padded coat that Luo Ning didn't want, didn't give me anything to eat, and even hit me, boohoo..." Heartbroken, Luo Jing ran away crying.

Tiger Cub grinned triumphantly and grabbed a potato fry, eating it with relish.

Zheng Xiu'e looked embarrassed and glared at him fiercely.

Liu Aihong was both angry and furious, feeling utterly humiliated by Luo Jing.

He won't listen to reason, and neither will be disciplined. He's already 14, what can I do...?

Luo Ning, who watched the whole thing, patted Liu Aihong on the back to help her catch her breath while comforting the embarrassed Zheng Xiu'e.

When Jian Yin heard that the Luo family was hosting a banquet, she secretly went to the kitchen, found some beef, put it in her pocket, and went to Old Xie's house to offer it as a sacrifice.

When Grandma Xie saw the meat, she was extremely affectionate towards Jian Yin, saying, "You're here, why did you bring anything?"

Jian Yin smiled and said, "Auntie, why are you being so polite with me? Brother Chang'an is the only soldier in our village. You are a military family member, so isn't it only right that I show you respect?"

Grandma Xie was very pleased to hear this, as only the fourth son in the village was a soldier.

She was a very honorable military dependent! Everyone who saw her respected her, flattered her, and fawned over her!

Only that little slut Luo Ning dared to go against her, emptying her pockets. Just thinking about that 400 yuan made her heart ache so much she could hardly breathe.

Jian Yin observed Xie's expression and whispered, "Auntie, the Luo family is hosting a dinner today. Did they invite you?"

"Don't mention that heartless family to me!" Old Mrs. Xie's expression changed immediately, her mood shifting faster than turning the pages of a book.

Jian Yin suppressed her excitement and followed Xie Laotai's words, "I've never seen a daughter-in-law so capable, daring to go against her mother-in-law. Luo Ning hid it too well before, she fooled us all!"

"That's absolutely right!" Grandma Xie slapped her thigh, feeling as if she had found a kindred spirit.

"I thought she was a good person, which is why I agreed to let her marry into the family. Who knew that she would empty the family's coffers to support her own family after only a few days of marriage!"

"Auntie, take care of yourself, don't get too upset, there's still a long life ahead of you, isn't there?" Jian Yin blinked.

Grandma Xie nodded repeatedly; the girl's words struck a chord with her.

There's still a long way to go. Now that Luo Ning is married into the family, she'll have plenty of opportunities to torment her.

However, recalling what happened a few days ago, Grandma Xie's face immediately fell. "Didn't you say last time that Luo Jing was faking illness and that you were going to testify for me? Why did you run away at the last minute!"

"Auntie, I was wrong about what happened last time, and I made you come all this way for nothing. I'm so sorry. But Luo Jing was definitely faking her illness. She told me herself! Don't worry, I will definitely help you get the compensation back!" Jian Yin made a solemn promise, but she was furious inside.

She's come over to apologize and make amends several times already, why is this old hag still bringing it up? Is this never going to end? What will happen when she marries into the family!

Seeing Jian Yin's upright attitude, Old Madam Xie's expression improved considerably. If she couldn't control Luo Ning, controlling Jian Yin would be quite satisfying.

If it weren't for the fact that Jian Yin's family was poor, she would have agreed to let her marry into the family.

But it's alright now, she's not Luo's daughter-in-law anymore, so she still has to be filial to her.

Zhu Cuifen suddenly came out and said sarcastically, "Going to someone else's house while sick, aren't you afraid of passing on your illness to them!"

The village is only so big, and there are plenty of gossips. Even the smallest thing can spread to everyone's ears. Besides, Jian Yin has been a hot topic lately, and everyone knows about her.

Jian Yin stood up awkwardly, made an excuse to leave, and figured she had achieved her goal.

Zhu Cuifen spat. "That shameless little hussy wants to be my sister-in-law? She should take a good look at herself in the mirror." She leaned close to Old Madam Xie and urged, "Mom, I heard Luo Ning bought a lot of nice things. The Luo family is having a feast today. Are we really not going? We're Luo Ning's in-laws!"

Qu Fang, who had been sitting silently to the side, chimed in, "Mom, the beef that Jian Yin brought was actually sent by Luo Jing. Luo Ning bought it yesterday... I heard there were quite a few other good things too!"

Luo Ning forced her second aunt's family out of the hospital, and her second aunt came over and scolded her, which made her feel very angry.

She wouldn't be Qu Fang if she didn't make Luo Ning suffer.

Grandma Xie was somewhat afraid of the evidence Luo Ning had, but her two daughters-in-law's words made her somewhat tempted...
