Chapter 46: You have a problem with that?
Wenya nodded quickly, her tone tinged with urgency.
"you do not say!"
"It's always better to believe something is true than not to believe it. Grandma's health is already weak, how can she withstand such an ordeal?"
"If Ning Tang moves out for a while, maybe Grandma will feel better!"
Wenya had already thought it through.
As long as Xu Qiaofeng believed her and made Ning Tang move out, she had a way to make Ning Tang and the bastard in her belly disappear from Lao San's sight.
Just as Wenya was eagerly waiting for Xu Qiaofeng to continue his story...
But then the smile on his face disappeared.
He looked at her with an indescribable expression, his eyes sharp as knives.
"Second sister-in-law believes this?"
"Do you know that once this label of feudal superstition is attached to you, not only the Xu family, but even your maternal family will suffer the consequences?"
The words "feudal superstition" were uttered.
Wenya's face turned pale instantly.
"I'm not superstitious, I just heard it from the elders..."
"Is what the old man says always right?" Xu Qiaofeng sneered. "Looks like I'll have to spout nonsense whenever I come here in the future."
"But, third brother, what if it's true?" Wenya still harbored ulterior motives.
Xu Qiaofeng originally didn't want to speak so harshly, but seeing Wenya's ungrateful attitude, he couldn't help but say it.
"If what the elders say is true, my second sister-in-law has been married into the Xu family for almost four years and hasn't gotten pregnant yet. Shouldn't she also be considered a jinx to her husband and family? Shouldn't she move out too?"
These words struck a nerve with Wenya.
She has been married into the family for over three years, and the number of times she has spent with Xu Qiaoyan can be counted on one hand.
She does want to get pregnant, but the conditions don't allow it!
Xu Qiaofeng has a sharp tongue and doesn't give anyone face.
Wenya dared not say anything more and could only hope that Xu Qiaoyan and Xu Qiaolan would come back and then kick Ning Tang, that jinx, out!
Less than half an hour.
The two brothers returned, weary from their journey.
"Qiaofeng, how is Grandma?"
“What your sister-in-law said on the phone was frightening. If it really comes down to it, we should take Grandma to the hospital.”
Xu Qiaoyan was very anxious. Seeing that Ning Tang was nowhere to be seen, he continued speaking.
"No matter what, we don't know how capable Ning Tang is. Grandma said that she saved her on the train, but no one saw it. What if it's a lie, just a strategy to force you, Third Brother, to marry Ning Tang?"
Seeing this, Wenya quickly echoed her sentiment.
"And I was just talking to Ning Tang peacefully, and she actually splashed water on me!"
"If she really knew medicine, how could she be so malicious? Maybe the story about saving Grandma on the train was something she made up!"
"It's all so she can cling to the third son and get into the Xu family!"
Even the usually silent eldest brother, Xu Qiaolan, frowned upon hearing this and looked at his younger brother.
"Third brother, it's not that your eldest brother doesn't trust Ning Tang."
"But Grandma's condition is special right now, so it's safer to send her to the hospital. Ning Tang isn't an experienced doctor, after all. What if something goes wrong?"
Xu Qiaofeng's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water.
Staring at the three people in front of him, he was so angry that he couldn't breathe for the first time.
He sneered and retorted sarcastically, "Why didn't you say this back then? Now you're being wise after the event?"
"When it comes to playing mind games, who can outsmart you? Ning Tang has been working so hard these past few days, and in the end, you're all slandering her behind her back!"
Xu Qiaolan felt that these words were taking things a bit too far, so she coughed.
He knew his younger brother had a sharp tongue, but he didn't expect him to be this sharp-tongued, showing absolutely no respect for him.
Just as she was about to say something, the kitchen door opened, and Ning Tang came out carrying the medicine.
moment.
The group of people who had just been arguing immediately quieted down.
Xu Qiaoyan looked unwell.
He was speaking loudly just now, and he didn't care because he thought Ning Tang wasn't there. He never expected that she was in the kitchen.
Judging from her calm expression, I don't know if she heard me at all...
"The medicine is ready, take it to Grandma and give it to her."
Ning Tang handed the bowl to Xu Qiaofeng and earnestly instructed, "Feed her slowly. If Grandma hasn't woken up within three hours, call me over again."
Xu Qiaofeng nodded and quickly went into the house.
Suddenly, a few people were left looking at each other in bewilderment, and the air was filled with awkwardness.
The eldest and second eldest brothers of the Xu family seemed to want to say something, and looked somewhat conflicted.
Ning Tang pretended not to see it and turned to go back to her room on the second floor.
Wenya wouldn't have it, grabbing her pigtail and refusing to let go, bluffing as she said:
"Wait a minute!"
"What if giving the medicine makes Grandma feel even worse? Can you take that responsibility?"
Ning Tang turned her head to look at her, then glanced at Xu Qiaolan and Xu Qiaoyan's silent faces, and spoke softly.
"I can't afford it."
"So if you have any problems in the future, just go to the hospital to see a doctor, instead of asking me, an unreliable person."
That was said on purpose for them to hear.
She wasn't so humble as to repeatedly explain herself to people who didn't trust her, seeking their approval.
After saying that, Ning Tang went straight upstairs, giving them no further chance to argue.
Xu Qiaoyan, who remained where he was, frowned, his earlier confidence gone. He touched his nose and said in a low voice:
"Big brother...did we go a bit too far with our words?"
"Actually, my sister-in-law meant well. I was just too worried that Grandma might say something inappropriate. If my sister-in-law had heard it, why didn't she scold me? Now I feel really bad."
Xu Qiaolan felt the same way.
This was the first time in his life that he had been caught talking badly about someone, especially since the person was his own brother's sister-in-law.
"Alright, if you hadn't been so quick to talk back, would I have gotten dragged into this?"
"The third brother was right to scold us today. Regardless of whether Grandma is awake or not, we should go and apologize to our sister-in-law properly."
Xu Qiaoyan lowered his head: "From now on, I won't speak carelessly with my mouth."
The way the two of them were acting was enough to drive Wenya crazy.
He was right, so why should he apologize to Ning Tang?
Anyway, she's just waiting for Ning Tang to slap her in the face today!
Xu Qiaoyan seemed to remember something, tugged at Wen Ya's arm, and instructed, "Wait a moment, you come with me to apologize to your sister-in-law too."
"On what grounds?"
Wenya, her neck stiff with indignation, retorted, "If Grandma woke up today because of Ning Tang, I'd kneel down and serve her for a year, let alone apologize! I'm just afraid some people will exaggerate and give her a chance, but she won't be a good fit!"
After saying that, he left, ignoring Xu Qiaoyan's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Wenya went straight into Grandma Xu's room.
Today she's going to see for herself what it's all about. It's just a bowl of ordinary Chinese medicine, not some kind of magic pill. It's not like it can snatch someone away from the King of Hell!
Time flies.
Almost four hours have passed, and Grandma Xu still shows no signs of waking up.
Everyone was anxious, but Wenya was secretly delighted.
She added insult to injury, saying, "Third brother, hurry up and call Ning Tang down. Grandma is still not awake, how dare she hide?"
"If you ask me, she's a jinx, a jinx. I don't know how she even got into the Xu family in the first place. She's such bad luck—"
Before he could finish speaking, a hoarse, aged voice suddenly rang out.
"I begged Tangtang to come in, do you have a problem with that?!"
