Chapter 129: Little Big Brother Is A Little Handsome
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xiaoxiao looked at Little Big Brother, who had a cold expression and a tough attitude. She couldn’t help but think of how he seemed to have descended from the sky when the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant and Second Uncle Ning came to the house to cause trouble.
This Little Big Brother was a little handsome.
Second Aunt Ning was stunned. Due to her uncouthness, it took her a while to realize that Rong Yan was praising Ning Xiaoxiao and scolding her. Looking at the burly guards behind Rong Yan, she blushed and did not dare to fart again.
Rong Yan couldn’t be bothered to talk to stupid people to begin with. He only spoke just now because he saw that Second Aunt Ning’s words were too dirty. He snorted and walked away nimbly. After leaving this group of ignorant women, he asked Yun Yi, “Has the news of Ning Fengcai in Xijiang County not spread yet?”
Yun Yi understood that his master was not asking a question, so he accepted the order seriously. “I’ll do it now.”
After all, Fortune Village was only a small village. The people who lived here were all farmers. It was not the time to sell food, and it was not a festive season. Very few people would go to the county. Even if they did, they would return after buying something. They might not have heard of Second Uncle Ning walking into the government office.
What Yun Yi needed to do was to spread the news as quickly as possible and let the villagers know what the old residence was like.
What Rong Yan did not know was that after he left, Second Aunt Ning, who was so frightened that she held her breath, took a deep breath and returned to her old self. She spat on the ground. “Pfft, why are you pretending to be a young master when you’re so poor? If you’re really so awesome, why can’t you even hire a servant or buy a piece of land? You went up to the eldest branch when you saw that they were eating well. Little did you know that the eldest branch still owes 10 taels of silver. Now, you’re pretending to be rich! The two poor families think that they’ve become rich!”
Someone could not stand her attitude and retorted, “I heard that they learned how to hunt from Zhao Hu. They never stopped eating meat at home and even exchanged it for a lot of silver.”
Second Aunt Ning pursed her lips. She looked down on hunters. “What do you know? What’s so good about hunting? Not to mention that there’s no prey in autumn and winter, even in spring and summer, if you’re unlucky and are slapped down by a bear, you won’t even be able to keep your lives!”
These words were really too much. No matter how much the women in the village liked to gossip, they would not use others’ lives to gossip. For a moment, no one spoke. Second Aunt Ning also felt bored. She held her stomach and walked away agilely.
Hearing what she said just now, Xiaoxiao quickly ran home and chased after Second Aunt Ning.
If not for the innocent life in her stomach, Xiaoxiao really wanted to put a gunny sack over her and beat her up.
However, even if she could not be beaten up now, she still had to be taught a lesson.
Second Aunt Ning came out today to slack off. Without Ning Fengnian, who was a sucker, everyone in the family, except for Little Uncle and Little Aunt, had to go to the fields this year. She used her stomach as an excuse to change her job to picking wild vegetables. No matter what, she had to dig a little to show her appreciation.
She was quite impatient about this. In the past, when she encountered such troublesome matters, she could just throw them to her sister-in-law. Besides, what was so delicious about wild vegetables? They were bitter, astringent, and not oily! The eldest branch was really generous to themselves. The fragrance of meat wafted everywhere every day. Wasn’t they afraid that they would be beaten up after a year because they couldn’t pay their debts?!
As she was thinking, she saw Xiaoxiao walking past her with a food basket in her hand. The fragrance in the basket made her drool non-stop. Without thinking, she reached out and grabbed Xiaoxiao. “What food? Show it to Second Aunt.”
Xiaoxiao protected the basket and dodged, but her movements were too big. Second Aunt Ning still saw the entire roasted chicken in the basket “accidentally”. Xiaoxiao “panickedly” covered the basket and said in a flustered tone, “The pancakes I brought for my father and brother are just ordinary pancakes.”
Second Aunt Ning put her hands on her hips. “Why are you still eating pancakes? Do you still have to pay the debt of 10 taels of silver? Eat, eat, eat!” Xiaoxiao blinked and deliberately smiled very proudly. “What’s the hurry? We’re all family.. If we really can’t repay them, won’t we still have Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and Grandpa and Grandma to help?”
