Chapter 176: A Larger Appetite

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Initially, he only wanted to cheat them 10 or 20 taels. Now, it seemed that he could clearly magnify his appetite.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, Second Uncle Ning moved to the side of the gift box. “Big Brother, it’s not that I want to scold you, but you’re already rich now. Do you still want to blame me for this?”

As he spoke, he opened a gift box and looked at the chubby ginseng inside. Second Uncle Ning’s eyes widened.

His mind raced and he slapped his thigh. “Aiyo, what a coincidence. The divine doctor happened to say that Cuihua needs the old ginseng to keep her alive. I think yours will do. Your family obviously doesn’t need it. I’ll take it away to save her!”

Just as he was about to run away with the things, Rong Yan turned his body to block the way. At the same time, he stretched out his leg and tripped. Second Uncle Ning fell down because he was in a hurry. However, when he fell, his arms were empty. The ginseng box that he was hugging very tightly appeared in Rong Yan’s hand for no reason.

Rong Yan held the box with one hand and handed it to Xiaoxiao, who was full of admiration. Young man, you’re so skilled and handsome!

Madam Song couldn’t help but want to flick her head. Xiaoxiao hurriedly kept her expression and said seriously, “1 mean thank you, thank you! Little Big Brother helped when he saw injustice. He’s really a chivalrous man!”

Madam Song was unhappy. What kind of nonsense was this?! Only Ah Yan had a good temper and let this girl talk nonsense.

Second Uncle Ning got up from the ground and said angrily, “This is the Ning Family’s business. Zhao… you dog… why are you interfering as an outsider!”

He actually wanted to say that Zhao Yan was a busybody, but when he met Zhao Yan’s gaze, he didn’t even dare to call him by his name. How could he say such nonsense?

Without waiting for Rong Yan to answer, Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips and spat at him. “Little Big Brother Ah Yan is not an outsider!”

Rong Yan felt his face heat up. Xiaoxiao did not realize that she had said something that could easily be misunderstood. He thought to himself, I’m her partner. Why am 1 called an outsider?! He hugged the gift box and wanted to smash it on Second Uncle Ning’s head.

“People like you who are so sweet-talking and scheming for my things are outsiders!”

Second Uncle Ning spat on the ground. “What do you mean by scheming? It’s clearly your animal who bit your Second Aunt!”

Everyone from the eldest branch had cold expressions. Xiaoxiao even chuckled. “Second Uncle, it’s not too late to turn back. Do you want to consider it?”

Second Uncle Ning was glad that he had foresight. “If you don’t believe me, you can follow me back to take a look!”

Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. Oh, you’re playing quite big?

She shook the heavy Walnut in her hand. “Alright, go and clear our Little Walnut’s name.”

Second Uncle Ning secretly mocked this brat for being naive and actually walked over first. “Hurry up. Cuihua is waiting for the money to save her life.” Xiaoxiao felt that something was wrong. She took two steps before stopping. Because her hands were carrying the dog, she could only tiptoe to Rong Yan’s ear. “Little Big Brother All Yan, can you help pay attention to the movements inside and outside my house later?”

The girl’s sweet breath blew to his ears. It was hot and numb. Rong Yan slipped and forced himself to be calm. “Okay.”

After Xiaoxiao walked far away, he raised his hand and rubbed his ears. It turned out that he was ticklish and did not know it in the past.

“Yun Wu, Yun Er, stay. Yun Yi, Yun San, follow me.” He was worried about Ning Xiaoxiao. Since he had accepted her intentions, he naturally had to protect her.

The Ning Family left with Second Uncle Ning. Shen Tianci patted the wall of the carriage. “Father, Mother, you can leave first. Ning Xiaoxiao and the others are my friends! If I sit back and watch my friends be bullied, what right do 1 have to read the books of the sages in the future?!”

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and County Magistrate Shen and his wife came down one after another. “Who said that we are leaving?”

Shen Tianci was confused. County Magistrate Shen said, “We have eaten so much of their food. Can we just watch the Ning Family being bullied? Besides, Ning Fengcai has mentioned your mother and me. We should go and take a look.”

“But… since when did you study the sages’ books obediently?”

Li Muyan laughed rudely. Then, the curtain of his carriage was lifted and a young master in white walked out. This young master’s face was as cold as ice, and his tone was cold and arrogant. “Divine doctor?”

“I want to go and meet him.” After saying that, he followed.

Li Muyan chased after him helplessly. “Brother Gongsun, Mr. Gongsun? Doctor Gongsun? Don’t walk so quickly. Be careful not to be beaten up for causing trouble!”

“Shopkeeper Xu, Shopkeeper Liu, go back first. We’ll discuss anything tomorrow.”

Unknowingly, the Ning Family had a tail behind them.

Rong Yan was also among them. He was calmly taking a note from Yun Yi.

It turned out that Second Uncle Ning had been idle these few days and was actually addicted to gambling. In just a few days, he already owed the gambling house dozens of taels. No wonder he was more unorganized than before and used any means to cheat others. All he could see was money.

At the back of the crowd, County Magistrate Shen sighed and said to Mrs. Shen, “Previously, the butler was worried that the children of the Ning Family were insensible and used my reputation to do whatever they wanted. I didn’t expect that these children could keep their composure. Their second uncle is so bold that he dares to use me as a cover.”

After talcing note of his surroundings, he lowered his voice and said, “But your nephew doesn’t wake up early without benefits. Why is he suddenly concerned about the trivial matters of the Ning Family?”

Mrs. Shen glared at him. “What are you talking about? What do you mean by ‘not waking up early without benefits’? It’s so unpleasant! I think Tianci learned it from you!”

Then, he said, “Perhaps he has the intention to rope in Xiaoxiao again. He must have heard what Fie Ruhuan did.”

County Magistrate Shen laughed so hard that his image was ruined. “Then why didn’t you tell him that you have decided to cooperate with the Ning girl?”

Mrs. Shen slowly turned to look at her husband. “I just didn’t have time to say…”

She didn’t do it on purpose.

She did not hold a grudge because her dowry was confiscated by Li Muyan’s mother when she got married, nor did she mind that her second sister-in-law annoyed her and guarded against her as if she was a thief. Naturally, she did not mind that the old lady of the Li Family had forced her to get married early in order to firmly hold the Li Family in her hands and almost ruined her marriage.

As for the new family rules that were specially set for her and made her promise not to interfere in her maternal family’s matters and not to get involved in her maternal family’s business, she obviously didn’t care!

Fortune Village was only so big. Soon, everyone arrived outside the Ning Family’s old residence. Old Madam Ning was originally standing guard at the door. When she saw them, she coughed hard. Second Aunt Ning, who was in the house, immediately fell into character and started howling. Uncle Ning pushed open the door and frowned. “Mother, are you done? How can I read when it’s so noisy?”

Old Madam Ning immediately coaxed him nicely. “Number Three, bear with it for a while. Didn’t you say yesterday that you liked an inkstone? I’ll buy it for you tomorrow after I teach your brothers a lesson.”

Third Uncle Ning snorted and closed the door in the end..
