Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

Chapter 21: Grandma, You Treat Us So Good

When Ning Erlang sent the bamboo shoot meat roll the next door, the noodles were just out of the pot. One bite of noodles and one bite of meat were fragrant.

The guards were praised for Xiaoxiao's thoughtfulness and good culinary skills. They urged their eldest brother, Yun Yi, to go to the mountains again and remembered to hunt more wild boars to give to Xiaoxiao.

Hunter Zhao's movement was too fast. He couldn't wait to find a buyer when the prey was brought back. They wanted to send more to the next door, so they could get an extra meal, but it failed. Huh, they could only blame themselves for setting up a fatal family character that needed to rely on hunting and selling prey to survive to enter the city. It was a sad story.

Rong Yan, on the other hand, looked at the delicious food and fell into deep thought. He did not owe her, but what about now? This girl was quite persistent…

Second Aunt Ning cried back to the old residence. With snot and tears all over her face, she exaggerated the matter again, making Old Madam Ning slam the table and curse.

Second Aunt Ning was her niece. She would stand on her niece's side unconditionally when it came to matters that had nothing to do with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Moreover, she did not like the eldest branch to begin with.

Slapping the table, Old Madam Ning immediately wanted to put on her shoes and settle scores with the eldest branch. Unexpectedly, just as she reached the eldest branch's residence, she saw a familiar white-bearded doctor walk out of the house. Xiaoxiao didn't panic when she saw the people from the old residence and went forward to greet them.

"Hello, Grandma. Hello, Second Aunt. Are you here to visit my dad?"

"It just so happens that Doctor He is here for a follow-up. The medicine that was prescribed earlier has also been used up. Do you know my family is in trouble, so you especially came to help us pay?"

Her gaze only met Old Madam Ning angrily. Pay? Even in her dreams, it wouldn't be so beautiful! She was about to spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm when she saw a familiar figure coming out of the courtyard of the main house. Was that… the village chief?

Old Madam Ning choked on her saliva and coughed repeatedly. Xiaoxiao hid the schadenfreude and ran to the village chief's side. "Thank you for making this trip, Uncle Village Chief. My dad's injuries haven't recovered yet. The doctor said that he can't be blown by the wind, or he might fall ill easily, so I can only be ashamed and let you out!"

The people from the Xiaoxiao family were all wise. Before coming, they had specially sent the village chief a piece of meat and a small jar of honey. The village chief was also happy to make this trip. "It's fine, it's fine. Fengnian had hurt his head, so he had to recuperate well. You did the right thing. I only took a few steps. It's nothing."

Then, his gaze paused and saw Old Madam Ning's unnatural expression.

He had heard all the rumors in the village over the past few days. He and Lizheng had been in charge of separating the Ning family. Because the village had always had the habit of the elders being inseparable from the family, at that time, they had thought that Fengnian's wife was too domineering and lacked filial piety. Now, it seemed…

Thinking about the huge pile of bamboo shoot shells in the courtyard and Ning Xiaoxiao stepping on the stool to reach the stove, he felt that Old Madam Ning was really unkind.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who had planned to cause trouble, were at a loss. They seemed to be able to hear the whispers around them. "I heard she saw the girl carrying something back from the mountains and wanted to snatch it again!"

"Huh, she's already forced her to this point, yet she still makes a fuss. What a sin. As expected, a stepmother is a stepmother."

Old Madam Ning liked to flatter herself. She usually liked to talk about the eldest branch. Although she was a stepmother, she raised her eldest son, Ning Fengnian, until he became an adult. It was as if she had done him a great favor.

Seeing that the image she had built over the years was being spoiled, especially in front of the village chief, she could not help but pinch Second Aunt Ning angrily. Second Aunt Ning grimaced in pain, but she had to endure it and did not dare show it.

Xiaoxiao had seen their actions. She pulled Doctor He forward and said sincerely, "Grandma, you're so good to us!" Then, she stretched out her hand to Old Madam Ning. Her meaning was obvious. She wanted money.
