Chapter 55: It's that bitch Ning Tang again!
Grandma Xu burst through the door.
Startled, Ning Tang instinctively burrowed out of Xu Qiaofeng's arms.
She covered her face, turned her back to them, and dared not look back.
This is so embarrassing!
I really want to dig a hole in the ground with my toes and crawl inside, never to come out again.
Grandma Xu was furious when she saw her grandson's nonchalant expression.
He said this while hitting his back.
"Tangtang is still pregnant, can't you just be a little more patient?"
"If you scare the precious baby in your belly, I'll beat you to death!"
Xu Qiaofeng's back ached from the blow, but he didn't dodge.
Instead, he reached out and pulled Ning Tang, who was covering her face, behind him to protect her.
His tone was helpless yet coaxing: "Grandma, I knew my limits, I didn't touch her."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Ning Tang, who was hiding behind Xu Qiaofeng, had ears that were so red they were almost bleeding.
How could this be... so shameful?
Grandma Xu glared at her grandson, then turned to look at Ning Tang, her tone softening instantly.
She walked over and took her hand. "Tangtang, let Grandma see if you were scared just now."
Ning Tang turned around, her face flushed.
I dare not look you in the eye.
When Grandma Xu saw her granddaughter-in-law's swollen lips, she knew what was going on and immediately glared at her grandson fiercely.
"Are you trying to kill me? This brat has no sense of proportion! How is Tangtang supposed to come downstairs for dinner if you keep doing this?"
Xu Qiaofeng is completely innocent.
He's a man who's been celibate for almost thirty years. If he can resist the sudden appearance of a woman he likes, who's always right under his nose, then Ning Tang will be crying for her happiness for the rest of her life.
"Grandma, you should be happy to see how loving we are."
"How dare you say that!" Grandma Xu made a gesture to raise her hand again, but Ning Tang quickly stopped her.
She said, "Grandma, it's not his fault, I... was willing too."
After she finished speaking, even her neck turned bright red.
Grandma Xu's anger subsided, and she instead felt that her daughter-in-law was being excessively obedient. She turned and glared fiercely at her grandson.
Did you hear that?
"Tangtang protected you this time, but if you don't know your place next time, I'll kick you out to live in the army dormitory!"
Xu Qiaofeng didn't argue back, but nodded silently.
His eyes were glued to Ning Tang, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Ning Tang noticed his gaze, secretly glared at the man, then quickly shrank back and followed her grandmother downstairs.
The meal was eaten quietly.
Even Wenya became obedient.
A few days ago, Grandpa Xu went to Wenya's parents' home. I don't know what they talked about, but when he came back, Wenya was like a different person.
Upon seeing Ning Tang and Su Ying, he became unusually enthusiastic, a departure from his usual behavior.
But Ning Tang felt uneasy. She had been targeting her and hating her so much before, but her attitude changed overnight. Something just didn't seem right.
Try to avoid it as much as possible.
When Ning Tang went to bed that night, she asked Xu Qiaofeng again.
Would he dislike working under Zhou Hairong?
Xu Qiaofeng rolled over, his tone devoid of emotion: "Why shouldn't I like her? She didn't dig up my family's ancestral graves. You can go wherever you want."
Actually, Ning Tang was just asking.
She's not the kind of person who would let a man jeopardize her future.
Besides, his relationship with Lu Niannian is a thing of the past.
Zhou Hairong wasn't his former mother-in-law, so he didn't feel inferior to anyone else.
Moreover, after hearing what Xu Qiaofeng said, her last bit of concern disappeared, and she snuggled closer to him.
Xu Qiaofeng closed his eyes, stretched out his long arm, and pulled the person into his arms.
Before long, Ning Tang felt sleepy.
The room was warm and inviting.
...
at the same time.
Family housing.
Pang Bo lay on the wall, listening to the wailing and howling from next door, and shuddered in fright.
"Honey, do you think Zhang Yanfei would actually lay a hand on a woman?"
"Ning Xin doesn't usually look like she's been beaten up."
Dong Yue rolled her eyes.
"Are you stupid? Who would show off in front of others after getting beaten up? Wouldn't that just make them a laughingstock?"
And she hasn't even said what's on her mind yet.
That Ning Xin, she's got that face that's just asking for a beating! She deserves to get hit!
Pang Bo glanced at his wife's resentful expression and realized something was wrong.
It's probably just some woman's fault. He has training tomorrow, so he should go to bed early and avoid getting into trouble.
It wasn't until late at night that Zhang Yanfei's house next door gradually quieted down.
at this time.
Ning Xin lay on the ground, her face and body covered in bruises.
Zhang Yanfei removed the sock from her mouth and asked coldly, "Where did you hide the money Zhang Jiaman gave you?"
He was resting with the team during the day today.
Zhang Jiaman, who was suspended from her duties and under investigation, somehow found out about the situation and actually came to the team to find him.
He immediately asked for money, and then went on to tell her what Ningxin had been doing lately.
That's a whole month's salary, almost thirty yuan.
Zhang Jiaman threatened Zhang Yanfei that if he didn't return the money, she would go inside and cause a scene, causing him to be dismissed from his job as well.
There was nothing Zhang Yanfei could do; she couldn't afford to offend this madman, so she gritted her teeth and paid him the money.
He had been holding back his anger all afternoon, but as soon as he got home, he saw Ning Xin trying to steal his savings, and he immediately exploded with rage.
Having been beaten all night, Ning Xin was in so much pain she dared not breathe. Hearing Zhang Yanfei's words, she answered softly, sobbing:
"What money? I don't know."
"Are you still pretending?"
Zhang Yanfei sneered: "Zhang Jiaman came to the team looking for me, do you dare to say you don't know her?"
Zhang Jiaman?
Ning Xin's expression panicked.
She hadn't revealed any of this, so how did she know about Zhang Yanfei?
Seeing Ning Xin's expression, Zhang Yanfei was utterly disgusted by her stupidity.
"Are you stupid! You told Zhang Jiaman you're Ning Tang's sister. She knows Xu Qiaofeng. If she comes to the team, she'll find out about our mess with just a little inquiry!"
"We both have the surname Ning, but look at Ning Tang, and then look at you!"
"You told me Ning Tang was jealous of you? I think that's all a lie. She's prettier than any of the celebrities in magazines. Why would she be jealous of a clown like you?"
"Tell me! Where did the money go? If you can't come up with it, I'll send you back to Shanghai and send you to the far northwest to find your capitalist mother!"
Ning Tang, Ning Tang, it's that bitch Ning Tang again!
Ning Xin was furious, her heart ached, but she dared not argue back.
She never expected Zhang Jiaman to be so crazy, not only going to the team to find Zhang Yanfei, but also revealing everything.
She had already spent that thirty yuan on new clothes and living it up; how could she possibly have the money to pay it back?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhang Yanfei became even angrier and kicked her in the chest.
"Get out of here by tomorrow morning!"
"Brother Yanfei, if I go back to Shanghai, I'll definitely be sent to the countryside again. Please spare me!" Ning Xin panicked, tears streaming down her face.
"What business is it of mine if you go to the countryside to work as an educated youth?"
Ning Xin closed her eyes in despair.
She never wanted to work in the countryside again; it was like hell!
