Chapter 169: Treating Me As A Beggar
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yun Yi understood. Rong Yan wanted to get everyone who had a grudge against Tong Bin to his side. His Highness’s actions recently have really become more and more… stylish.
At this moment, Xiaoxiao had already started to immerse herself in cooking. With the addition of her neighbor, Little Big Brother, and his guards, she generously cooked all the “wild animals” that they brought back. She stewed and braised them. Their fragrance wafted into Second Aunt Ning’s nose.
Recently, the food in the old residence had been getting worse. In particular, her mother-in-law had directly deducted everyone’s meat and vegetables in order to give her youngest son special treatment. Second Aunt Ning kept feeling that she was not full, but she could not eat secretly. Her mother-in-law knew how many eggs there were at home. She had also tried her luck and strolled over. She did not expect to meet the eldest branch making delicious food.
She wanted to walk in, but when she saw the burly puppy in the courtyard, she stopped and cleared her throat. “Ahem, Xiaoxiao, scoop me a bowl of meat. I’ll bring it back for you to show filial piety to your Grandpa and Grandma.”
When Xiaoxiao came out of the kitchen and saw her, she ran out without a word and closed the door with a clang. Second Aunt Ning got too close and almost bumped her nose. When she came back to her senses, she immediately started cursing.
Xiaoxiao frowned. There was only her and Big Brother at home now. Big Brother was reading, and she was cooking. She didn’t care about Second Aunt’s wailing, but Big Brother couldn’t be disturbed from reading. She glanced at “Walnut” who was wagging its tail at her feet, regretfully and patted its head. “It would be good if you were older.” Then, she went to the kitchen thoughtfully, picked up a basin of vegetable wash, opened the door, and splashed it.
The weather in May was already very warm, but Second Aunt still shivered when she was suddenly drenched. “Ning Xiaoxiao!”
Xiaoxiao pretended to be shocked. “Aiya, Second Aunt, why are you at my door? Are you here to pay me back?” After saying that, she reached out her hand. “It just so happens that my family lacks money. Since you’ve found your conscience, quickly return the 20 taels of silver that you stole the designs and caused us to owe. Otherwise, I’ll have to trouble you to accompany my family to the government office at the end of the year.”
Second Aunt Ning wiped her face. “Pfft! Dream on. Let me tell you, the separation has already been registered in the government office. Don’t even think about dragging others down!”
Xiaoxiao smiled in satisfaction and looked at Second Aunt Ning inexplicably. “Since you know that you’re ‘someone else’, you should know that whatever my family cooks has nothing to do with you. Don’t wander around for no reason. My family doesn’t welcome you.”
Second Aunt Ning still wanted to make a scene, but a young man’s voice suddenly sounded behind her. “What’s going on?”
Xiaoxiao sighed. “My Second Aunt is asking for meat.”
Second Aunt Ning was so angry that her nose was crooked. “What are you talking about? Do you think I’m a beggar?”
Seeing her smile, Second Aunt Ning reacted. That brat was scolding her indirectly! Just as she was about to flare up, she saw the tall men from the Zhao Family approaching her with dark expressions.
“What are you doing! Don’t you dare touch me! I’m pregnant. I’m pregnant with the precious grandson of the Ning Family. If anything happens to him, you’ll be in trouble!”
Rong Yan said, “Noisy.”
However, something suddenly grabbed her under the arm and her feet suddenly left the ground. She looked down and saw that one of the men next door to the Ning Family was holding her up with a bamboo pole. She did not know what they were doing, but she was lying on the bamboo pole with a slight shake. She could not move or fall, but her posture was a little embarrassing.
Rong Yan waved his finger at Yun Er and Yun San. “In that case, send her back to the old residence unharmed. Remember to walk slowly.”
Second Aunt Ning’s eyes widened. She felt that the two of them were really planning to carry her away with a bamboo pole!
“B*stard, put me down! Do you hear me? Put me down!”
Yun Er turned around and replied good-naturedly, “I’ll naturally put you down when we get there.”
Xiaoxiao blinked. When she heard Rong Yan instruct Yun Er and Yun Xiao to carry Second Aunt Ning away in this amazing posture, she immediately applauded. Good lord. “Well done. As expected of my most promising partner!” She put down the basin. “Bring me along later. Let’s turn around and go to the village chief’s house to complain.”
Rong Yan nodded and asked the two of them to listen to Xiaoxiao.
Second Aunt Ning had really embarrassed herself in Fortune Village. Yun Er and Yun San went around the village in a big circle, letting the villagers see her embarrassed state. Ning Xiaoxiao even went to the village chief’s house to cry.
“Uncle Village Chief, 1 don’t want to disturb you, but Second Aunt came to ask me to get her a bowl of meat when 1 was cooking for my neighbors. Not to mention that this meat was hunted painstakingly by them, even if my family bought it, Second Aunt caused my family to owe so much money. How can she have the cheek to ask me for meat to eat?”
The village chief looked at Second Aunt Ning with disappointment and disgust. He couldn’t understand why the Ning Family in the old residence were so… so… so unruly.
In the end, Second Aunt Ning was personally picked up by Second Uncle. Along the way, she wished she could bury her head in the ground. As Second Uncle Ning walked, he scolded, “Are you brainless? Great, the village chief asked you to stay at home and recuperate from today onwards. You’re not allowed to leave the house. Are you happy?”
Second Aunt Ning pursed her lips. After a while, she suggested sneakily, “Why don’t I pretend to be sick now and say that that brat frightened me and caused the pregnancy to be unstable? She even splashed water on me! That wild dog in the courtyard is also scary!”
As soon as she finished speaking, they saw Xiaoxiao lying on a bamboo pole and whizzing past them. There was even a string of little kids behind her. They wiped their snot and shouted, “1 want to play too, I want to play too!”
It was the way Yun Er and Yun San carried Second Aunt Ning just now. Of course, the methods and strength were different, but others could not tell.
Second Aunt Ning couldn’t say that her body was worse than a child’s. She shut her mouth in embarrassment, but she still felt indignant. “Then let’s watch them live a good life while we eat the lousy food?”
Second Uncle Ning slammed the table and kicked the stool. “What do you know? I’m trying to think of a way.” He was more anxious to get money than anyone else!
He gritted his teeth and looked around. Finally, his gaze landed on Second Aunt’s stomach. “Did you just say that Big Brother has a wild dog?”
Tonight, Xiaoxiao added more dishes for everyone. She scored another 300 points for today’s meal. Although her balance was reduced to zero after the upgrade, she had already realized the correct usage of the space farmland. The vegetables in the farmland grew one by one, piling up the warehouse even more spectacularly. She felt that the green vegetables, cabbages, onions, ginger, and garlic grew a little taller with every glance. It was really magical.
Xiaoxiao originally thought that the sense of achievement, that she could not obtain from sowing seeds in the space, would also grow stronger as the seedlings grew. If not for the fact that the vegetables in the space were still harvested as soon as they matured and could not produce seeds, Xiaoxiao felt that she could plant thousands of mountains.
She made up her mind to buy a few bags of all kinds of seeds the next time she went to the county!
The waiting time was too unbearable. After everyone fell asleep at night, Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but go to the system shop again and exchange for the tomato seeds and cumin seeds that she had been longing for. Compared to the rice seeds, these two were really not expensive. They were 100 a piece. Its price was fair. However, there wasn’t that much. After all, which family would plant an acre of tomatoes? It wasn’t difficult to plant so many, but she could just exchange for a few more.
Xiaoxiao secretly decided that when she had more points, she would plant all the seeds in this endless space. Aiyo, the farmer genes in the Chinese people’s bones had awakened.
[Other than cooking, do 1 have no other way to obtain points?]
