Chapter 48

When Ning Jia heard that they were going to ask her for money to support the seventh brother, she was not happy at all.

She nudged Li Yao with her elbow: “What do you think?”

Li Yao’s face darkened, his eyes a little cold: “Mom, every family is having a hard time, who can come up with so much money?”

“You don’t have money, so you buy meat bones? I think you still have money!” Old Mrs. Xu was unreasonable. “Seventh brother is your younger brother. He has no money for his wedding, so why don’t you help him out? And fifth brother, you have to pay for it too.”

Li Xu had been lowering his head and pretending to be an ostrich, but he didn’t expect the old lady to not let him go.

“Mom, where do we get the money? Otherwise, how about bargaining with Lin Xiaoxi?”

Old Mrs. Xu slammed the table and said, “I’ve already promised them.”

An Ye raised his eyes: “If you don’t have that ability, don’t agree. Since you have agreed, just give it yourself. What’s the big deal about dragging our family into it?”

“That’s right.” Ning Jia agreed immediately, “Anyway, I won’t pay for it!”

“I won’t go out either.” An Ye also expressed his opinion.

Ning Jia: “Okay! It’s settled. If you want to pay, you’re a dog!”

An Ye: “If you want to pay, you are a bastard!”

Old Mrs. Xu: “…”

Li Chuan was anxious: “My two sisters-in-law, we can’t do this!”

An Ye glanced at him and said, “Who cares about you!”

Ning Jia: “If it really doesn’t work, just marry someone else!”

Li Chuan was speechless: “Sister-in-law, can we stop making trouble? Let’s think of a solution!”

“Who’s making trouble with you!” Ning Jia replied to him, lowered his head and started eating, no longer paying attention to him.

An Ye remained silent.

Li Chuan wanted to cry but had no tears: “Why…why is this happening!”

Old Mrs. Xu was angry: “I have raised a bunch of things, but I can’t use any of them! Fine, if you don’t feel sorry for me, there’s no point in me living anymore! I might as well just die!”

“Death?” An Yetan stood up and walked outside. He came back with two more things in his hands. “Use a rope? Or use scissors? Mom, you can choose any one!”

“Oh my ancestors!” Old Mrs. Xu started to throw a tantrum again. She sat down on the ground, slapped her thighs and howled, “Open your eyes and see how your daughter-in-law is going to force her to death!”

Bai Jinfeng rolled her eyes and said nothing. In front of Old Lady Xu, she was like a slave to work like a cow or a horse.

Liang Lanlan was still sick. Just because of this little money, she sneaked into the house and picked the lock. She was almost caught and was frightened all night.

At this moment, she hated Old Lady Xu so much that she was too lazy to persuade her.

As for Li Xuejiao, she just said a few nice words symbolically: “Mom, this family can’t live without you, you can’t commit suicide!”

Because the old lady was partial to him, except for the seventh son who felt sorry for him, the other sons were used to this situation and they all kept their heads down and said nothing.

“It’s okay, Mom. If you want to die, then go quietly! Anyway, once you die, everyone will know that you committed suicide because of Lao Qi’s marriage! Anyway, the villagers are only poking Lao Qi’s spine, it has nothing to do with us!” Ning Jiayang said with a faint smile on his lips.

After all the trouble, Old Mrs. Xu found that no one cared about her. It was really boring.

After hearing what Ning Jia said, he turned over and sat up from the ground, patted his butt, and sat back at the table: “Eat!”

Everyone: “…”

“Mom, it’s a shame if you don’t become an actor with your acting skills! Your face-changing performance is second to none!” Ning Jia smiled.

Old Mrs. Xu: “Even eating can’t stop your mouth!”

After dinner, it started to rain.

The production team temporarily decided to take a day off and resume work after the rain stopped.

Since no one is going out, the whole family is thinking about the bone soup.

Ning Jia asked Li Yao to put the bones in front of everyone, and took two in front of everyone: “This is what Li Yao bought, I have to take two, and then I will make soup in the house after the fire is lit.”

Everyone still has no opinion.

The two best friends took the initiative to take on the task of stewing the soup. They spent most of the day in the kitchen and finally brought a large pot of pork ribs to the table before dark.

There is still some meat on the bones that you can gnaw on, and the noodles are cooked in the bone broth, so you can drink the broth and eat the noodles at the same time.

We only eat meat a few times throughout the year and our stomachs are empty. Suddenly, we have such a meal and the whole family is happy.

Even Da Huang was celebrating the New Year today, gnawing on a big bone with a crackling sound.

Only the bowl in front of Old Mrs. Xu was empty, with nothing in it.

“You have no conscience. You didn’t even give me a sip of soup!”

Ning Jia smiled and said, “You said you didn’t want this. Everyone can testify to that!”

Old Mrs. Xu was so angry that she wanted Li Yao to control this increasingly crazy woman. However, when she glanced over, she saw that the man was cutting meat for his wife to eat.

Can’t point to it!

I really can’t point it out!

Now that Ning Jia has these two raw bones as a cover, she won’t have to worry so much next time she stir-fries meat.

The family was enjoying their meal when Lin Xiaoxi walked in angrily.

Old Mrs. Xu didn’t expect Lin Xiaoxi to come at this time, and hurriedly asked him to sit down: “Xiaoxi is here, come and sit down, you haven’t eaten yet, sit down and eat something.”

As soon as she sat down, her sharp eyes shot towards Ning Jia.

This morning she went to the water bubble to fish, but after half a day she didn’t catch a single fish.

Someone must have stolen her fish. After thinking about it for a long time, she felt that it must have been Ning Jia who did it.

Ning Jia sold eggs under her name and cheated her out of a lot of milk candies, forcing her to buy candies with her own money to “repay the debt.”

She originally hoped to make some money from selling those fish to make back her investment, but who could have imagined that all the fish in the bubble were caught out.

There were also White Rabbit candy wrappers left by the fish pond, and there were more than one!!

Apart from Ning Jia who extorted half a bag from her last time, who else could eat such expensive candy in such large quantities!

Ning Jia also noticed Lin Xiaoxi’s unfriendly look. She knew that it must be Lin Xiaoxi who discovered that the fish in the bubble was gone.

She laughed inwardly but didn’t show it on her face.

“Sister-in-law Ning Jia, please stop eating for a moment. I have something to ask you.” Lin Xiaoxi decided to get straight to the point and ask directly.

Anyway, the fish is gone and the secret is no longer a secret.

“If you have anything to say, just ask. I’m too busy to stop talking.”

“Okay, then let me ask you, did you catch all the fish in that pool deep in the North Mountain?” Lin Xiaoxi asked angrily. At the end, she did not forget to add, “I gave them to my aunt and everyone else! If you took all the fish away, what would everyone eat?”

When Old Mrs. Xu heard that there was a big fish to be presented to her, but it was caught by Ning Jia, she was immediately furious.

She immediately formed a united front with Lin Xiaoxi, pointing their guns at the outside world: “Ning Jia, are you still the daughter-in-law of the Li family? Why don’t you do anything? You must explain yourself clearly today, otherwise, I, an old woman, will never let you go.”
