Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

Chapter 7: Am I Such a Magnanimous Person?

He asked Xiaoxiao. But just as he finished speaking, her mom patted his head.

"That's how it should be. She's your second aunt, after all. Have you thought of the consequences if you had pushed her just now?"

Ning Erlang was indignant, angry, and aggrieved. His eyes were red.

Madam Song wanted to persuade him again, but when she heard her husband's sound, she had no choice but to take care of him first.

Only then did Xiaoxiao turn to Ning Erlang, but he did not want to look at her. He would rather face the wall than look at her.

Xiaoxiao was speechless.

"Second Brother?"

"Are you angry?"

Ning Erlang ignored her. Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Don't tell me you think I'll let Second Aunt badmouth mom?"

Ning Erlang snorted. "Why did you pull me just now?"

Xiaoxiao was about to hit him.

"Are you stupid?"

"Second Aunt can't wait to tell the village she's pregnant. If you push her, she'll immediately fall on the ground, say that her stomach hurts, and ask us to compensate."

Second Aunt Ning was a top-notch scammer.

Ning Erlang was even more depressed after hearing this. He knew that her words made sense, but he was just unhappy.

"We deserve to be pissed off, then?"

Xiaoxiao smiled slyly. "You're overthinking. Am I such a generous person?"

Only then did Ning Erlang become interested? They stood together and began to mutter.

As he spoke, he did not forget to call Ning Dalang, "Big Brother, help us to delay mom."

Ning Dalang smiled dotingly and went to the kitchen to get a basin of hot water to change his dad's dressing.

Not long after, the old residence sent someone to invite them over, saying that they had a few questions to ask. Xiaoxiao and Second Brother immediately volunteered to go over on behalf of their mom.

Madam Song was worried, but even the eldest son, who had always been steady and doted on his sister, persuaded her. She looked at her husband, who had just removed half of the gauze, and then at her eldest son, who was holding hot water and could not free his hand for her. She then agreed.

If she went to the old residence at the moment, she would probably not be back for more than an hour. She could not let go of her husband's injuries.

However, she would not forget what she had to say.

"If their words are unpleasant, don't contradict them. Just listen to them casually."

"They're your grandparents, after all."

Xiaoxiao nodded obediently as if she planned to listen.

The family ate in the house when the two arrived at the old residence.

However, since no one asked them to come back later and no one invited them to sit down and eat with them, they only could wait in the courtyard.

Xiaoxiao and Ning Erlang rolled their eyes and squatted outside the chicken coop to count eggs to pass the time. They took turns feeding the chickens at the old residence before. It was unknown if the chickens recognized them, but not only did they not hide, they even walked closer to them.

Just as Ning Erlang was sighing secretly that even chickens were more humane than the people in the old residence, he saw the fattest one shake its butt and lay an egg before them.

Both of them were speechless.

At this moment, Old Madam Ning's loud voice came from the dining room. "Hey, count the eggs at home later. Don't miss any."

Was she worried that the two of them would steal eggs?

Ning Erlang gritted his teeth and complained to Xiaoxiao in a low voice, "Petty! Are we that kind of people?"

Xiaoxiao calmly reached out and took an egg. At the same time, she nodded heavily. "Yes, I am."

It didn't matter if she ate it or not. She was just unhappy.

Ning Erlang was dumbfounded. He returned to his senses until he was called into the house.

Everyone in the old residence sat steadily after eating, looking like a master interrogating a criminal.

As the representative, Old Madam Ning thought she was an old lady from a rich family, and she raised her chin.

"I heard that you guys got something good today. When I saw you sent it over, I thought it was rare. In the end, you sent a bowl of pickled vegetables? Who are you trying to send away?"

In less than a minute, she had become the shrew in the marketplace.

"A room full of ungrateful ingrates. Why don't the heavens strike you to death!"

"I raise you guys difficultly back then. It's fine if I can't get filial piety when I'm old, but I must still be so disgusting. Do you want to anger me to death so I can be carefree?"

"Back then, I shouldn't have given your dad a mouthful of milk. I should have pressed him into a bucket of feces and suffocated him to death!"

If not for the fact that he was mentally prepared before coming, Ning Erlang felt that he would have flipped the table.

Taking a deep breath, they showed a surprised look together.

"What? A bowl of pickled vegetables?"

"How can it be a bowl of pickled vegetables?"

Old Madam Ning's curses were stuck in her throat. She narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?"

Xiaoxiao was worried about Second Brother's acting skills, so the rest of the scenes belonged to her.

She looked panicked in Second Aunt Ning's direction, then quickly retracted her gaze and lowered her head to look at her toes.

"No, nothing. I-I didn't say anything."
