Chapter 46

“Didn’t you just pack that box yesterday morning? How did a mouse get in there?” Li Yao said deliberately.

An Ye snorted and laughed: “Ning Jia, I don’t believe there are rats in here, but it is possible that there are people in here!”

Liang Lanlan broke out in a cold sweat instantly!

This damn An Ye, is he trying to scare people to death by making such blind guesses?

“People?” Ning Jia raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean?”

An Ye said sarcastically: “Who knows if you have hidden a wild man in there! You are afraid that others will find out, so you deliberately say it is a mouse!”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Ning Jia immediately raised her voice, “An Ye, what nonsense are you talking about? I kindly accompanied you to the hospital during the day, and at night you falsely accused me of hiding a man! Don’t you know whether I’m hiding someone or not?”

“Seeing is believing. Do you dare to open the box and let us see?”

“Just look! Are you scared?”

Ning Jia and An Ye had a good time bickering with each other, but it scared Liang Lanlan to death.

If this box is opened, her reputation in this life will be ruined!

Don’t open it!

Don’t open it!

Liang Lanlan worshipped all kinds of gods in her heart, and even silently worshipped the ancestors of the Liang family.

I pray to God to protect her and not let Ning Jia catch her.

“How could my sister-in-law do such a thing! I think you are overthinking it! If there is a thief hiding in the box, it is possible, but if there is a wild man hiding in the box, it is absolutely impossible!” Li Xu believes Ning Jia. She likes Lao Liu so much, how could she fool around with another man?

Besides, if you want to hide, you should hide during the day. Everyone in your family will be back at night. Wouldn’t it be courting death to hide someone at this time?

“What you said is possible. What if this is a thief? What are you going to do?” An Ye asked her.

Ning Jia cleared his throat and said loudly: “I must pull her out and send her to the brigade, so that everyone can see who is the blind person who came to steal from my house! If you really don’t want to vent your anger, send her to the police station in town and make her spend some time in jail!”

Liang Lanlan was already afraid of being embarrassed, and now when she heard Ning Jia say that she would be sent to jail, she was so scared that she didn’t dare to come out.

She decided that even if she died of exhaustion here tonight, she would never climb out of this box.

“Okay, don’t delay our card-playing time. Come on, let’s stay up all night until dawn! No one can sleep until dawn!” Li Xu said.

“Okay.” Ning Jia’s mouth curled up, “Fifth brother, remember what you said, whoever leaves halfway is a puppy!”

“good!”

So the four of them sat cross-legged on the kang and played poker.

We played cards for most of the night and before we knew it, it was late at night.

From Li Yuan’s room opposite came the sound of a child in distress.

Because it was too quiet at night, any slight noise outside would be heard far away, so Liang Lanlan could hear it even in this cabinet.

The game lasted until after two in the morning. Ning Jia heard noises coming from the box from time to time. He knew that Liang Lanlan and Liang Nengneng could no longer hold back.

She threw the cards in her hand out and said, “I can’t bear it anymore. I’m going to the bathroom and then I’m going to sleep.”

“Aren’t you afraid of being a puppy?” An Ye asked her.

Ning Jia stretched out his body and said, “It’s fine if it’s a puppy, but I can’t let it get tired to death!”

Li Yao felt that the time was not short. If it continued like this, he was worried that Yingdi would get sick from crying.

“Let’s go, and play again another day.”

Everyone agreed with the decision and the game was over.

An Ye and Li Xu returned to their room. Ning Jia made an excuse that she wanted to go to the bathroom and asked Li Yao to accompany her.

The room was empty and completely quiet.

Liang Lanlan hurriedly woke Liang Nengneng up, and the aunt and niece came out of the box in a panic, opened the window and tried to slide out along the tree trunk.

Because I had been curled up in the closet for too long, my whole body was sore and painful, and my muscles were stiff.

But I can’t care about that anymore.

Liang Lanlan slid down first. The rough bark rubbed her hands and cut them. The pain made her loosen her grip, and she sat down on the ground.

“Ouch…” She covered her mouth, tears welled up in her eyes due to the pain and she dared not make a single sound.

“Let’s go, let’s go.” She didn’t dare to stop for a moment, grabbed Liang Nengneng by the collar and dragged him to Wang’s house.

Ning Jia, who was hiding in the dark, watched the aunt and nephew fleeing in panic, and pinched his thigh with joy: “Serves them right! Now they have learned their lesson! Let’s see if they dare to steal things from other people’s rooms again!”

“Why let them go? It’s better to just state it directly!” Li Yao didn’t understand Ning Jia’s intention.

Ning Jia smiled: “It would be boring if we make it clear, it’s more interesting this way!”

If I write more, if this matter is made clear, it will probably not take long for the villagers to know that there is a thief in the Li family.

If she steals things alone, it might bring shame to the entire family.

It’s not worth it!

As soon as Liang Lanlan entered the door, tears started streaming down her face.

“Wife, you’re back!” Li Yuan hugged the crying Yingdi, sweating profusely, “I was thinking, if you didn’t come again, I would really have to go to Laoliu’s room to get him back!”

“I was almost exhausted and scared to death! Lao San, you are such an idiot. Why didn’t you find a way to get Lao Liu and his wife away so that Neng Neng and I can come back first!” Liang Lanlan couldn’t help complaining.

Last night was like a nightmare and I finally woke up just now.

“I…didn’t I forget this? I did nothing else this evening but just coax the child!” Li Yuan was also overwhelmed.

“Forget it, forget it, let’s lie down quickly.” Liang Lanlan couldn’t hold on any longer, so she took off her shoes and pulled Liang Nengneng onto the bed.

Fortunately, I didn’t drink much water yesterday, otherwise, not only would I be tired and scared, but I would also have to hold my urine.

After staying in the box for a long time, Liang Nengneng became tired and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Liang Lanlan developed a high fever.

Ning Jia and Li Yao returned to the house, simply washed up and went to bed.

As soon as they lay down, Ning Jia naturally leaned over and snuggled in his arms.

Li Yao was about to raise his hands to hug her when he heard her say, “An Ye and the others have already heated up the kang in their room. It’s very warm now! It’s getting colder day by day. Why don’t we heat up the kang as well?”

Li Yao paused and said, “Wait a couple of days. I’m a bit busy these two days. I’ll rebuild the stove and heat the kang in a couple of days.”

Ning Jia could only agree: “Okay, as soon as possible! It’s too cold, I can’t stand the cold.”

Li Yao said “hmm”.

He didn’t want to heat the kang so early. His fifth brother had to work hard every night, sweating profusely while “ploughing the land”. The house was cold, making it inconvenient for him to “work”.

But his situation is different from Ning Jia’s. If the kang is burned, I’m afraid… they won’t have to share the same quilt like they do now, right?

Ning Jia didn’t know what Li Yao was thinking. She was extremely sleepy today.

When she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly remembered something.

“I saw you chatting with a woman in town today. Can I know what you were talking about? Are you two familiar with each other?”

Li Yao was stunned for a moment, then said: “Do you want to hear the truth or do you want to hear…”

“Of course it’s the truth!!”

“It’s a long story.”

“Let’s make it short,” Ning Jia asked.

Li Yao smiled softly: “Yes, I know her. We were…”

“Go to sleep! Go to sleep now! I don’t want to listen anymore, I’m sleepy!” Ning Jia turned over suddenly, leaving his back to her.

“You really don’t want to listen?” Li Yao asked again.

Ning Jia ignored him.

Li Yao raised the corner of his mouth: “Tomorrow, I’ll tell you when I wake up tomorrow!”

The next day, Ning Jia was woken up by the noise in the house. She didn’t get enough sleep and was still in a bad mood.

As soon as she opened her eyes and was about to lose her temper, she saw Li Yao holding something in his hands and put it in front of her. Her eyes immediately widened and her sleepiness disappeared instantly.

Immediately, she turned over and sat up: “Where did you get this?”
