Chapter 324
"Because little rabbits don't seem to like carrots very much. I saw Uncle Xingchen feeding the rabbits before. He fed them fresh vegetables."
"So that's how it is?" Niannian blinked his big eyes with an expression of sudden enlightenment. It was obvious that he knew nothing about this issue before.
Then, Niannian turned his gaze to his mother and asked doubtfully, "Mom, does the little white rabbit really not eat carrots?"
After hearing his son's question, Xia Ruoan turned to look at Leng Zexi beside him, his eyes full of questions.
After all, she wasn't very clear about the answer to this question.
Leng Zexi thought for a moment, then replied, “Raising rabbits is indeed more suitable than growing vegetables to feed them.
Because rabbits are generally herbivores, greens may be a better food choice than carrots.”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but recall the time when he raised rabbits.
"I have raised rabbits myself, and I found that they indeed prefer to eat vegetables rather than carrots." Leng Zexi looked at Niannian and explained seriously.
After hearing this, Niannian suddenly became interested and couldn't wait to ask, "Wow, Dad, what happened to the rabbit you raised?"
There was a gleam of curiosity in the little guy's bright eyes, as if he wanted to know all the stories about the little rabbits immediately.
"Yeah, where is the rabbit?" Xia Ruoan asked curiously, blinking her big, lively eyes.
After all, she has always been surrounded by flowers, plants and fresh vegetables, and has never raised any small animals herself.
Leng Zexi scratched his head and answered embarrassedly: "I originally raised rabbits, and later I got two Tibetan mastiffs. But the rabbits were too timid and were frightened to death."
As he spoke, he showed an awkward and helpless smile.
Xia Ruoan nodded to show her understanding. She said softly, "Rabbits are always timid and afraid of being startled. This is not surprising."
At this moment, Ningning, who was standing by, saw that the adults were focusing their attention on the rabbit, and she couldn't help but stamp her feet in anxiety.
His face turned red and he started to yell, "Stop talking about rabbits! What about my vegetables?"
"I said I would mail them today. I don't want to be a bad kid who lies and deceives people!"
After saying that, Ning Ning grabbed Xia Ruo'an's skirt, looked up at her pitifully, and begged like a spoiled child: "Mom, please help me!"
Then, Ning Ning turned to Xia Ruo'an with expectation and continued to beg, "Mom, don't you also grow the same vegetables in your vegetable garden? Can you give me some? I want to send it to that handsome uncle to try."
The little guy blinked his big watery eyes, his eyes were full of earnestness and longing.
However, before Xia Ruo'an could respond, Leng Zexi took the lead and flatly refused: "No!"
He squatted down, looked Ningning straight in the eyes, and taught her earnestly: "Ningning, be honest."
"Since the vegetables didn't survive, just tell them the truth. Even if the leaves are a little yellow, they are still edible."
Ningning stared at her father with eyes wide open in disbelief, and shouted, "Dad, what on earth are you talking about? These leaves have already turned yellow, how can they still be eaten! Come and try them if you can!"
As she spoke, she angrily thrust the withered yellow leaf in her hand into her father's mouth.
Seeing this, Leng Zexi quickly leaned back to avoid the yellow leaves handed to him by his son, and responded with a look of disgust: "Who told you to take the initiative to meddle in other people's business! Even if you didn't water the vegetables, they wouldn't have become like this."
"Besides, you didn't even say hello after watering the plants. Now there's no chance of rescue." After saying that, he gave Ningning a fierce look.
At this moment, Leng Zexi was thinking secretly in his heart, should he give the vegetables grown by his wife to Zhang Kai?
No way! So I told Ningning firmly: "Don't even think about sending these vegetables to your so-called handsome uncle. I don't like him."
"If you really dare to do this, I will never agree."
"Besides, you should explain the situation to Zhang Kai honestly, and then go to Suisui or Niannian to pick some fresh vegetables and send them to him."
Finally, Leng Zexi stared at Ning Ning with a sharp gaze and said in a warning tone: "If you dare to make such unreasonable demands to me again, believe it or not, I will pack you up and send you to Zhang Kai immediately."
"You are the only one who can come up with such a bad idea as to use the vegetables that my wife has worked so hard to grow to please my love rival. Do you really want to change your father?"
"Humph! If you don't agree, I will really find my mother a new husband. Then I will have a new father who loves me."
"Besides, those who like my mother will definitely like me as well because they love her. Unlike you, who only know how to punish me all day long!" Ningning pouted stubbornly and shouted unconvinced.
When Sui Sui and Niannian heard this, they couldn't help but move closer to their mother, seeming a little scared.
"Well, Leng Zining, you little brat have grown wings?" Leng Zexi raised his eyebrows slightly, stared sharply at the ignorant little guy in front of him, and said coldly.
"Well, since you want to find a stepfather so badly, go and look for him slowly by yourself!"
After saying that, Leng Zexi mercilessly reached out and grabbed Ningning's collar, lifted him up like a chicken, and strode out the door.
Seeing this, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but feel worried, and quickly said, "Be careful, don't hurt the child."
However, Leng Zexi suddenly turned around, looked at his wife with an aggrieved look, and asked, "Why? Do you want to find a new husband too?"
Xia Ruoan was stunned when he heard this, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
After all, her son had just said something so outrageous that she was speechless for a moment.
"He is still young." Xia Ruoan held it in for a long time and finally squeezed out these words.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Leng Zexi's half-smile, and quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.
At this time, Ningning, who was held in the air by Leng Zexi, finally realized that the situation was not good and began to get scared.
He struggled desperately and shouted at Xia Ruo'an at the top of his voice: "Mom, save me! Mom, save me!"
dXia Ruoan looked at his son helplessly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
In fact, she also wanted to save her precious son, but facing her angry husband, she really didn't have the courage.
So she could only cast a helpless look at Ningning and pray silently in her heart that her son would be safe.
Ningning blinked her big watery eyes, and seemed to finally understand a cruel fact - her mother could not help her at all in this matter.
So, she turned around angrily and yelled at Leng Zexi: "You bad guy! You are clearly abusing a child. I will go and tell my grandparents about you later!"
However, what Ningning never expected was that Leng Zexi picked her up mercilessly and threw her directly onto the straw mat outside the door like throwing away garbage.
Ning Ning, whose butt hurt from the fall, got up from the ground, looked up at Leng Zexi who was standing inside the door with a face full of grievance, and continued to cry: "If you don't let me in quickly, I will really run to my grandparents!"
Leng Zexi folded his arms across his chest, leaning leisurely against the door, a sly smile on his face, and responded slowly, "Okay, go ahead."
"But you should give it a try. If you tell your grandparents that you want to find a new husband for your mom, then see if they still want a naughty kid like you to be their grandson."
"Let me tell you, they like your mother much more than they like you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Ningning stamp her feet in anger, but even the neighbors passing by stopped and listened with both anger and laughter.
Some of the grandmothers couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so they squatted down, gently touched Ningning's head, and teased him with a smile: "Ningning is so cute, why don't you come to my house?"
"You can bring your mother to remarry and live with me. Then I promise that grandma will treat you like her own grandson and love you with all her heart!"
Before he finished speaking, another uncle nearby came over to join in the fun and said, "Yes, yes, yes, there's also my family. Ningning, what do you think of your Uncle Liu?"
"If he were to be your new father, would you be willing?"
For a moment, many neighbors gathered around Ningning and started making jokes. At this time, Ningning's face turned red and she didn't know how to respond.
"What's wrong? You too, if you want a grandson, let your son go find a way to survive. Don't snatch my little grandson away from me." Mother Leng said as she picked up her little grandson Ningning.
"We didn't rob her. It was your Zexi who drove Ningning out." Someone reminded.
Mother Leng looked at her son and said, "Zexi, how old are you? Why are you joking with a child like this? Aren't you afraid of scaring your son?"
"He said he wanted to find a new husband and a new father for Ruoan, so I had no choice but to throw him out first, to prevent this kid from really stealing our home." Leng Zexi shrugged and said.
Mother Leng choked when she heard this and looked at her grandson in her arms, "Ningning, did you really tell your father that?"
"I'm just talking." Ningning also felt guilty.
"You, no wonder your father wanted to throw you out. If your father said this to your grandfather, your grandfather would have used family rules against him." Mother Leng said as she let the man down.
She wondered if her grandson had gained weight again. Her hands felt sore after she held him in her arms for a while.
