Chapter 45: To be kicked out of the house
Wenya was already feeling guilty, and when Ning Tang looked at her like that, she subconsciously didn't dare to meet his gaze.
But then she realized that she hadn't done anything wrong; on the contrary, it was she who had taken Niannian's place and stolen Xu Qiaofeng's place.
She hadn't even lost her temper yet, so why did Ning Tang dare to ask her a question?
Wenya sneered, raised her chin, and pointed at the blankets on the bed, questioning:
What's wrong with this blanket?
"Has Qiaofeng been sleeping in bed these past few days?"
The look in his eyes made it seem as if Ning Tang was now some shameless vixen.
Ning Tang smiled slightly.
"Second sister-in-law, we are husband and wife now. If we don't sleep in the same bed, where will we sleep?"
Her elegant demeanor was so refined that her lips were trembling.
“You knew perfectly well that Niannian and Qiaofeng liked each other, yet you still stood between them.”
"Ning Tang, are you that desperate for a man? Do you have to steal someone else's man?"
Ning Tang's smile faded slightly.
His tone remained calm.
"Second sister-in-law, isn't it a bit inappropriate to use the word 'steal'?"
"Xu Qiaofeng and I were both willing to get married, and he insisted on getting the marriage certificate. If it weren't for my grandmother and him, to be honest, I would never have thought of staying in the Xu family."
Ning Tang was telling the truth.
The moment she was reborn, she decided to stay away from these people.
If it weren't for the unexpected encounter with Grandma Xu's illness on the train, she would probably be living a good life in some rural area right now.
These words sounded like a blatant provocation to Wenya.
Sharp-tongued and quick-witted.
As expected of a capitalist's daughter, she dared to take the blame for her sister-in-law. All her manners have been eaten by dogs!
"I really don't know how Grandma could let someone like you into the Xu family. Is it because you have a son that you're considered important? Who knows if the child in your belly is even the third son's! Besides, even if it is, with your background, you can't possibly give birth to a good child!"
Anyone would get angry if their child was criticized.
Ning Tang's eyes were cold as she picked up the water Xu Qiaofeng had left over from last night and splashed it on Wen Ya's face without hesitation.
"Second sister-in-law, it's one thing to bring up my background, but to use the child as an excuse, isn't that a bit too inappropriate?"
"Which of us has a problem with our upbringing?"
The child in her womb is her only weakness across both her lives, and also her Achilles' heel!
Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, Ning Tang would not allow her child to be insulted!
The cold water from the previous night streamed down Wenya's face, soaking her clothes and making her look extremely disheveled.
She stood there stunned for a long time, as if only just recovering from disbelief, and screamed as she raised her hand to touch the water on her face.
His eyes blazed with murderous intent, as if he wanted to devour Ning Tang: "Ning Tang! How dare you splash me?!"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Ning Tang casually put the empty cup back, her voice as cold as ice. "Second sister-in-law's words are unpleasant; she probably didn't brush her teeth this morning."
"I'm the kindest person, and since I have some free time, I'll help you brush your teeth so you don't smell bad when you go out."
Wenya was so angry that she trembled all over.
So, Ning Tang's gentle demeanor before was all an act. Now that no one's around, she's stopped pretending.
She reached out to push Ning Tang's shoulder, determined to teach her a lesson.
"You bitch! I'm going to tear your mouth apart today!"
Ning Tang was prepared.
Just as she lunged at him, he dodged to the side and simultaneously reached out to protect his lower abdomen.
Wenya didn't expect her to dare to dodge. She lunged forward but missed, staggering and almost falling flat on her face.
She has never suffered such injustice in her entire life!
Wenya struggled to her feet, still trying to lunge at him.
Ning Tang really didn't have time to play along with her antics. Just as she was about to go downstairs to prepare medicine for her grandmother, she heard Aunt Zhang shouting in alarm from downstairs.
"Quick, someone come quick! The old lady has fainted again!"
Ning Tang quickly ran downstairs.
Wenya was still angry, but when she heard that the old lady had an accident, a sly smile flashed across her face.
The old lady probably won't make it this time.
She had to call Xu Qiaolan and Xu Qiaoyan immediately to come back.
When the old lady dies at Ning Tang's hands, let's see what excuse that bitch has left!
When Ning Tang rushed downstairs, Grandma Xu had already fainted.
Xu Qiaofeng was standing guard nearby. When he saw her coming, he immediately made room for her.
Ning Tang walked over, squatted down, and checked his breathing and pulse.
Fortunately, he was still breathing, but his body was getting weaker and weaker.
"Aunt Zhang, you stay here and help the grandmothers massage these acupoints. I'll go to the kitchen to brew the medicine."
Fortunately, she now has a thousand-year-old ginseng, which can keep her grandmother alive and help her get through this difficult time.
Aunt Zhang didn't understand these acupoints at all, but she still calmed down and followed Ning Tang to learn.
Seeing this, Ning Tang felt relieved and walked towards the kitchen.
Xu Qiaofeng quickly followed: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"No need, I can manage here by myself."
Ning Tang shook her head, "Go stay with Grandma, and you can let me know immediately if anything happens."
The appearance of this thousand-year-old ginseng is truly unbelievable.
If Xu Qiaofeng saw her, she wouldn't be able to find a reasonable excuse even if she talked herself hoarse.
Xu Qiaofeng knew that now was not the time for him to cause trouble, so he could only suppress his worries.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll stay outside and keep watch. Call me anytime if you need anything."
Ning Tang strode into the kitchen and locked the door behind her.
Not daring to delay any longer, I quickly used a kitchen knife to cut a thin slice of ginseng, and then took out the casserole and medicinal herbs from the cupboard.
All the medicinal herbs were prepared, and the dosage was controlled according to Grandma Xu's physical condition. They were then put into a clay pot and simmered together.
In the living room.
Wenya slowly walked downstairs after finishing her phone call.
She noticed that Xu Qiaofeng was staring at the kitchen, and without even thinking, she knew he was looking at that bitch Ning Tang.
His jealousy, which he felt was unfair to Lu Niannian, resurfaced, and he deliberately spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Third brother, you said Grandma has been fainting a lot lately, is that right...?"
Xu Qiaofeng frowned. "What is it? Second Sister-in-law, can't you just say what you want to say directly?"
If it weren't for his second brother's sake, he wouldn't have paid any attention to his dim-witted sister-in-law.
Wenya paused, glancing at Xu Qiaofeng's expression as she spoke.
"Has Grandma been cursed by someone?"
"My grandma was born in the Year of the Rat. I heard from the older folks in my family that people born in the Year of the Rat shouldn't live under the same roof as people born in the Year of the Rooster, otherwise they'll get sick all the time..."
"Third brother, I know all the zodiac signs in our family, none of them are born in the Year of the Rooster... Do you know what Ning Tang's zodiac sign is?"
As luck would have it, Ning Tang was born in the Year of the Rooster.
Wenya knew this, which is why she deliberately tried to sow discord between Xu Qiaofeng and Wenya.
A smug smile played on his lips, but his eyes feigned innocence. Seeing that Xu Qiaofeng remained silent, he continued.
“I’m not saying Ning Tang is bad, it’s just that this is too coincidental. Look, as soon as Ning Tang came to our house, Grandma got sick. It’s never happened so frequently before.”
Xu Qiaofeng's expression immediately changed.
His deep eyes stared unblinkingly at Wenya, a half-smile playing on his lips as he said:
"Second sister-in-law thinks so too?"
also?
Wenya's eyes lit up; she was quite excited!
It seems the third sister thinks the same way: Ning Tang, that little bitch, is going to be kicked out of the Xu family!
