Chapter 209 Nuobao wants to take action
Seeing the strange expressions of the two of them, the Jiang family members didn't understand what was going on.
They thought that they were just ordinary scoundrels looking for trouble, and it was inconvenient for women to go out. Maybe the two of them were worried about damaging their reputation, so they changed their faces.
So Jiang Fenghu volunteered.
"A few rogues, it's nothing, don't worry, Mrs. Xiao, I will take a few villagers and drive them away."
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she became more nervous.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she didn't even dare to look directly at people.
Mrs. Xiao also covered up a little.
She raised her hands and said, "Well...thank you very much, but since this matter was caused by us, let us solve it ourselves, so as not to implicate you."
Jiang Fenghu thought she was being polite and wanted to continue to accept the gifts.
But Xiao Nuobao had already seen through everything and knew that Mrs. Xiao was afraid that this matter would be known by outsiders, so she hurriedly pulled Feng's sleeve.
Feng was very perceptive.
She stopped Fenghu and sent her sons out.
"Fengnian, Fenghu, you two should stop standing here. Fengze will be taking meat and vegetables back to the barracks soon. You should all go home and help carry out those big baskets of vegetables in the cellar so that he can take them away."
After saying that, Feng's face remained unchanged. She pretended to be busy in the hall, and then she took Xiao Nuobao and left, leaving only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Xiao family in the house.
After everyone left, Mrs. Xiao immediately became angry and slapped her big hand hard, shaking the table.
"They actually chased us to Dalui Village!"
"You stay in the house, let me go out to meet those bastards and break their legs!" Mrs. Xiao glared angrily and ran out.
Mrs. Xiao's face turned pale and she hurriedly stopped her mother-in-law: "Mother, don't! We walked all the way from the capital to this countryside, but they still found us. It shows how difficult it is to deal with those ruthless men of the Fang family."
Her voice trembled and she begged: "If you really face them head-on, once there is a commotion, Lan Yi... will definitely know... Otherwise, we'd better leave quickly, mother."
"Hide again?" Old lady Xiao clenched her back teeth: "How long will we hide? Could it be that we, the old lady and wife of the Xiao family, will be surrounded and blocked by those minions of the Fang family and have nowhere to go? It's a joke!"
Old lady Xiao got angry when she thought about how suffocating she had been living since she left the capital.
Now, after much difficulty, she was able to find such a good place as Daliu Village, but she still couldn't enjoy the peace and quiet, which made her even more angry.
Mrs. Xiao's eyes were wet, and she was choked with guilt: "It's all my fault. I caused that incident back then, and was recognized by that Fang in Jiangjiabao. Now he insists on using this incident to claim responsibility, which has implicated you and may even ruin the reputation of the mansion..."
"I, I really have no face to serve you and the old man..."
Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not your fault. We women have a harder life than men, so you don't have to blame yourself." She patted her daughter-in-law's thin shoulders. She
showed some worry again.
"I am not worried about other things. After all, those scoundrels are just trying to intimidate us and they dare not do anything to us. I am just afraid that they are always wandering around the village entrance. Once Lan Yi comes back, he will find something."
When her son was mentioned, Mrs. Xiao's pupils trembled violently, and she cried and shook her head as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
"No! He must not know about that, absolutely not!" Mrs. Xiao covered her face in pain.
"Blame me, it's all my fault! Why did I have to live at that time? I should have killed myself later. At least I could not disgrace the reputation of the Xiao family. If Lan Yi knew that he had a dirty mother, how would he look at me in the future!" Mrs. Xiao cried until she almost fainted, and her face was bloodless.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao felt a pain in her heart and hurriedly helped her to a chair.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Mrs. Xiao said angrily, "If you had really hit your head and died, how could you have given birth to him? Do you think your son would follow you before he even saw the world?"
Mrs. Xiao sighed again, "Besides, our little bastard may be a bit naughty, but he still has a conscience. He is not his father. Even if he knows the truth, he will not look down on you."
Although these words were earnest, they went in Mrs. Xiao's left ear and flew out of her right ear.
This weak woman, whose mind was full of concepts of women's virtue and chastity, ignored her mother-in-law's consolation and kept shaking her head.
She looked like she would never live again if Xiao Lanyi really knew.
Mrs. Xiao understood her, so she had to comfort her: "Okay, okay, don't cry first. We must keep this a secret from him and make sure he doesn't know about it, okay?"
Mrs. Xiao sobbed. She
still covered her face and couldn't even sit up straight.
Mrs. Xiao stroked her fingers and thought: "It's a pity that we can't get rid of those bastards easily. If we attack them rashly, it won't be difficult to beat them away, or even hire someone to beat them to death. But in this way, the Fang family will continue to send people to harass us, and if things go wrong, we will have a handle, which will be exactly what the beast Fang wants."
Mrs. Xiao also nodded. This is what she was afraid of.
The best thing now is that someone can come forward and deal with that Fang guy so that he can no longer threaten them.
However, if the power of the Xiao family is used to deal with the Fang family, although it is not difficult, it will easily alarm the mansion.
This is absolutely not allowed.
Old lady Xiao was feeling tangled, at this moment, a pair of sky-high braids with purple headbands poked in from outside the door.
Like two cricket whiskers, they swayed rhythmically.
Little Nuobao pouted.
Hearing Mrs. Xiao crying.
She had already imagined the private affairs of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and couldn't help feeling sad for them. She
wanted to vent their anger for them.
At this time, the "cricket whiskers" poked in another inch, and Mrs. Xiao was startled and asked hurriedly: "Who, who is it and where?"
Little Nuobao stretched out his chubby face and responded in a baby voice: "It's me, Nuobao~"
Seeing that it was this baby, the two people in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Xiao softened her expression, came over, picked up Xiao Nuobao, and pinched her cheeks.
"Did the little guy hear anything?" Mrs. Xiao asked uncertainly.
"As long as you promise not to tell your brother Xiao what you heard, Grandma Xiao will give you some snacks." As Mrs. Xiao said this, she was about to take out a box of lotus cakes from her brocade bag.
Little Nuobao pointed her index fingers, stretched her neck to look at the pink and green cakes, and swallowed her saliva. The little girl
had never tasted such snacks as lotus cakes.
Her eyes lit up, and she almost threw the business behind her. She took a piece with each hand and put it into her mouth with both hands, eating until her mouth was full of crumbs.
Seeing that she was eating sweetly, like a little bean bun, Mrs. Xiao felt much more relieved and put aside some of her worries for the time being.
After two pieces were eaten, when Mrs. Xiao was about to hand over the third piece, little Nuobao picked up the snack crumbs on her dress and put them into her mouth, then waved her chubby hands.
"Grandma Xiao, I don't want to eat anymore. Nuobao has something important to tell you!"
"Huh?" Mrs. Xiao looked over gently. There
was still puffy skin on the little Nuobao's face, and he puffed his cheeks and hummed: "Actually, Nuobao knows what you are worried about, but Nuobao has a way to help you deal with that family and temporarily solve your predicament!"
Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao were both stunned.
What?
Could this child really know what they were worried about? And could he have a way to deal with it? But
how could a two-and-a-half-year-old child have that ability!
