Chapter 15 Too Much Imagination Is a Disease
"…" Elder Mrs. Lee did not speak anymore, and her sinister gaze landed on Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu's body swayed, her heart was filled with fear. This mother-in-law of hers was powerful, she would never be merciful in punishing people.
A few days ago, after the thing she brought back from that damned girl was taken away, she had already been scald by her mother-in-law three times.
He stretched his hands out to cover his sleeves, not even daring to raise his head. This pitiful appearance, if seen by an outsider, would definitely cause them to feel pity for him, anger them, and not dispute it.
Elder Mrs. Lee opened his mouth, and then closed it: "Mrs. Xu, that slut fell from your body, tell me what to do!"
"Mom, I, I'll go and have a good talk with her. She can't write the two characters of 'Ning' in one stroke. She was very obedient before, but she's been lost in thought these past few days. It'll be great as long as she can get it straight."
"After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, her complexion improved a little. "Alright then, remember to bring back our twenty catties of pork." After he finished speaking, she closed her eyes and waited for Mrs. Xu to bring the meat back.
Mrs. Xu walked out of the hall and stood in the courtyard, raising her head to look at the sun in the sky.
He nearly fainted on the spot.
Young Mrs. Lee, who came with her, was instantly overjoyed when she saw Mrs. Xu. She sarcastically said, "Sister-in-law, what are you waiting for? If you go late, the pig would fall into someone else's stomach."
"I, I'll go now." The Mrs. Xu said weakly. He forced himself to walk towards the foot of the mountain.
He could smell the fragrant smell of meat coming from the thatched cottage from far away.
Inside the fence enclosed yard, Ning had brought along Aunt Huang's little granddaughter Zhang Xiaoji to find out about the monkey.
On the other hand, Ning Yan was busy with the Mrs. Huang at the kitchen, building a house was something she had to do. She had to prepare the white buns, and the Aunt Huang sat by the stove and burned them until a pot of white buns came out from the oven.
He then put the steamed buns into the rack and covered it with a white linen cloth.
He turned around and walked to the newly built small stove. He began to fry the vegetables and make a big pot of dishes. He chopped scallions, ginger, garlic, prepared the fungus and mushrooms, and put the vegetables and eggs to the side.
Unfortunately, there was no vermicelli or kelp, so the taste was always a lot worse.
However, for those people who rarely had meat, it was already considered very good.
Mrs. Huang saw Ning Yan move a pot of meat over, and her eyes widened.
"Girl Ning, why are you cooking so much meat?" After saying that, she swallowed her saliva.
"Those who come are all here to help. It's necessary to eat better." Ning Yan explained with a smile. No matter how surprised the Mrs. Huang was, she still followed her own thoughts.
Mortality had always been high in this era, and science indicated that people who ate grains and grains had the longest lifespan, but the opposite was true.
People who ate grains and grains were usually the people who served the land. However, working excessively hard every day had long since squeezed out all their energy. If that was the case, they would still be eating the grains and wouldn't have enough left them to live for a long time.
Building a house was a strenuous task, Ning Yan did not want to squeeze these simple and honest people anymore.
Mrs. Huang would never understand Ning Yan's starting point.
Seeing that Ning Yan did not even have the strength to persuade her, no matter how she tried to persuade him, Girl Ning would not listen.
After the sugar water was boiled, the first thing he drank was the Mrs. Huang's granddaughter and Ning Tian.
While the two children were drinking, Mrs. Xu walked in.
Mrs. Huang thought Mrs. Xu was helping, and said smilingly: "Mrs. Xu, you came late. Girl Ning and I have already finished eating, but since you are here, let's eat together!"
"…" Mrs. Xu's face immediately turned pale.
The food was already prepared. Why was it happening so quickly? What about the meat? Anxious, Mrs. Xu started flipping through her kitchen.
Mrs. Xu lifted a large white mantou onto the ground.
"Where's the meat?"
"Where is the meat?"
The panicked Mrs. Xu continued to look for meat, and did not notice that Mrs. Huang's face had turned black.
For those who were digging in the ground, food was the most precious thing in the world. A big steamed bun was lying on the ground.
How could he not be angry?
Where's the meat?
Mrs. Xu searched everywhere but she could not find anything. In the end, her gaze landed on the big pot.
He stretched out his hand and opened the pot.
He looked into the pot as he steamed.
In the many years that she had been in charge of kitchen, she had never let go of so much meat.
What a waste!
He turned around and looked at Ning Yan with reddened eyes: "Why are you cooking so much meat and oil, don't you know where we're going to send some?"
"Did you take my steamed buns to the ground?" Ning Yan's tone was very calm, as though he was not angry at all.
"Just grind the ground, it's for someone else to eat anyway, just pick it up, you have a lot of work to do. Tell me why I didn't send you some meat? Don't you know you haven't eaten meat in a month? "
"…" She had stolen rabbits and chickens from her a few days ago, and now she said that she had never eaten meat before.
Ning Yan had never seen such a shameless person before.
"Mrs. Xu, you must be here to cause trouble!" Mrs. Huang could tell that Mrs. Xu's attitude was not right. She hid Ning Yan behind him, afraid that Mrs. Xu would attack him.
He already knew that Mrs. Xu did not like Ning Yan, but now it seems that it was not only because he did not like Ning Yan, his attitude was as if he was looking at his enemy, had Mrs. Xu gone mad?
Mrs. Huang did not understand.
Ning Yan dropped the fist she had clenched.
Being protected by Mrs. Huang like this, her mood was a little delicate.
Although there were people like the Mrs. Xu in the village who were shameless, there were also people like the Mrs. Huang and the Village Chief.
When the Mrs. Xu saw that the Mrs. Huang was protecting Ning Yan, her heart became weak, and she said with a mask: "Whoever has the time to look for trouble, quickly take out the meat, and give it to me, I will leave."
"If you think too much, then it's a disease. If you have nothing to do, then go see a doctor. Don't get involved here, otherwise, I don't care if your blood is the same as mine."
Ning Yan pushed Mrs. Huang away and stared at her face. Holding onto the spoon in her hand, she walked towards Mrs. Xu step by step.
"What are you doing?" Seeing Ning Yan's calm gaze, her slim body trembled like a sieve, she had completely forgotten that she was the one who asked for all of this.
"What are you doing? Don't you want to eat meat?" Ning Yan took her spoon and escaped from the pot with a spoonful of meat.
The soup was still boiling in the big pot.
Hot...
If you put the piece of meat in your mouth, it will boil out bubbles.
Lowering her head to look at the meat pieces on the ladle, all of these delicacies she used to look at now seemed like life-stealing poisons, Mrs. Xu was scared, she was truly afraid that this evil being would stuff the meat pieces into her mouth.
The meat was greasy, but he didn't know how hot it was.
"Eat, didn't Mom want to eat meat? Eat more, so that others don't say that their daughter is unfilial! "
The smile on Ning Yan's face became more and more profound, causing Mrs. Xu's legs to go limp, and the skirt on her body to become as wet as if it was wet.
He stumbled out.
"I only gave her meat, why did she run away?" Ning Yan turned her head and looked at Aunt Huang.
This pure and innocent look of hers made Mrs. Huang sob. What else could she say?
That Ning Yan did it on purpose?
But even if it was intentional, she still felt refreshed in her heart.
After all, Mrs. Xu was not afraid of her daughter being treated like a human, and being treated like this was well-deserved.
