Li Gang was hiding under the quilt and refused to show his face. He just said sullenly, "It's okay. I just have a severe headache. Maybe it's because I haven't had enough rest recently. I'll be fine after a day of sleep."
"Why do you have a headache when all the time? Hey, get up. Mom will take you to see a doctor." said Old Mrs. Xu.
"No, I just didn't get enough rest. Mom, please go ahead and let me sleep for a day."
Seeing that Li Gang covered his head with the quilt and refused to come out, Old Mrs. Xu felt that something was wrong.
"Gangzi, what's wrong with you? I feel like you haven't been normal for a while..."
As she said that, she reached out to pull Li Gang's quilt.
Li Gang held on tightly and refused to let go.
When Jinfeng entered the room, she saw the mother and son fighting over the quilt. After experiencing a series of things in this family, she has become disillusioned with this family.
So, when she saw Old Lady Xu, she didn't see it at the time, didn't talk to her, and didn't get involved in what was going on between them.
"Don't be so annoying." Old Lady Xu disliked her eldest daughter-in-law. "Let me ask you, do you know that your husband said he had a headache? Why did he have a headache for no reason?"
Jinfeng said coldly: "You are his mother, you don't know, how should I know?"
"You are his wife! Don't you know how to care about him?" Old Mrs. Xu was furious.
She can’t control the wives of the fifth and sixth sons, so how can she control the wife of the eldest son?
Jinfeng sneered: "I'm still not feeling well, and he doesn't care about me? He's still my husband!"
"You've grown cocky and dared to talk back at me, right? I see you're just following the lead of the fifth and sixth wives. You don't want to live a good life, do you?"
Hearing what Old Lady Xu said, Jinfeng was amused: "Other people's lives are not good. They eat meat every day and have vegetables for every meal. Our life is good, but what is our life like? Old vegetable leaves and thin rice soup, almost as much as other people's pot water!"
Old Mrs. Xu found that Jinfeng had become more eloquent, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged in her heart.
She found that Ning Jia was a malignant tumor. As long as she was around, all the sisters-in-law were led astray by her.
First it was Xiaotao who disobeyed, then it was Xuejiao, and now it was Jinfeng's turn.
If it were any other time, when she and Jin Feng had an argument, her eldest son Li Gang would definitely jump up and blame Jin Feng first without saying a word.
What about Ru 㫇?
She and Jinfeng were arguing and bickering here, and Li Gang covered his head and said nothing.
This is a problem!
Big problem!
Old Mrs. Xu finally realized this. She knew that there was no point in blaming Jinfeng at this moment, so she simply changed her approach.
"I'm not blaming you. This man is yours after all. If he's in good health and earns more money, you and your child can live a good life, right? I know you have a problem with me as a mother. Okay, I can understand that. But, can you please pay more attention to your man?"
"Yes. You are right, I should indeed be concerned!" After saying this, Jinfeng reached out and pulled the quilt off.
She was very strong to begin with, and Li Gang was completely unprepared, so the quilt fell off, and his face, which was swollen like a pig's head, appeared in front of Old Lady Xu.
"Oh my god!" Old Mrs. Xu was shocked. "Why is your face like this? What's going on?"
Li Gang couldn't tell the truth, so he could only make up a bad story: "I accidentally hit a tree and hit my face."
As soon as Jin Feng heard him, she knew he was lying: "You are quite skilled at hitting a tree. It's not easy to hit your face with a tree and get it swollen all over."
"What's so difficult?" Ning Jia opened the curtain and came in, holding a bundle of fresh spinach in her hand, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to bring you some spinach."
Seeing Ning Jia coming, the expression on Jinfeng's face softened a lot, and her tone became much more friendly: "I ate it yesterday. The spinach you grew is really good, and the taste is amazing."
"As long as you like it. My daughter will bring you some more. It's good for your health to eat more green vegetables in spring. Especially for Zhaodi, who is still growing up, she can't do without vitamins." Ning Jia said.
"Then I won't be polite. No wonder Zhaodi likes you the most. It's you, the sixth aunt, who cares about her the most." Jinfeng took the spinach and said, "Come, sit down. I'll pour you a glass of water."
"Don't bother me, I'll just talk to you for a moment."
"good."
Ning Jia walked into the house and sat on the kang. Seeing Old Mrs. Xu with a droopy face again, she found it very funny.
She was old, her skin was loose, and she was thin, with a drooping face. She looked like a skinny Shar-Pei dog.
"Mom is here too." Ning Jia greeted her.
"I just saw it." Old Mrs. Xu was annoyed. "Why? You knew to give the spinach to your sister-in-law, but you didn't know to give it to your mother-in-law?"
Ning Jia tilted her head and said seriously, "My sister-in-law helped me sew clothes and quilts, what did my mother-in-law do for me?"
These words choked Old Mrs. Xu to death.
Yes, she really didn't do anything except sowing discord and exploiting everyone.
After talking about Old Lady Xu, Ning Jia'er shifted his gaze to Li Gang'er's face and deliberately made an exaggerated cry: "Brother, did you have a fight with sister-in-law? How did you get slapped in the face by sister-in-law?"
Li Gang shrank back into the quilt: "No...no, I bumped into you."
"Hit? I don't think so! Brother, did you do something bad outside and get beaten up?" Ning Jia said deliberately.
Li Gang was startled and said quickly: "What bad things could I do? Sister-in-law, please don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not kidding, brother, your face is so swollen, it looks like you were slapped. What's the point of hitting someone in the face these days? Let me think... Did you sleep with someone's wife? Or did you marry a widow?"
"Bah, bah, bah! Stop talking nonsense here! My son is not that kind of person!" Old Mrs. Xu was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore.
"Don't get excited, I'm just analyzing the situation."
Li Gang quickly waved his hands: "Stop analyzing, your analysis could easily lead to someone's death! It's simply too scary!"
Ning Jia smiled and said, "Okay, I won't analyze it anymore. Brother, don't be afraid. If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."
"Sixth wife, what do you mean by that? Are you targeting me on purpose?"
"Look at what you said. If I was talking about big brother, I wouldn't have given you so much spinach yesterday, right? I gave you a lot yesterday, and if I give you more today, you won't be able to finish it in a week." Ning Jia smiled.
When Jinfeng heard that they couldn't finish it in a week, she looked over and asked, "Sister-in-law, how much did you give yesterday?"
Ning Jia raised his hands and gestured: "This is so much! I estimate it to be at least five kilograms if not eight kilograms!"
Jinfeng looked at Li Gang and asked, "Where are the remaining spinach?"
They definitely didn’t eat that much yesterday!
Li Gang stammered, "I ate it secretly because I was greedy. I am a bit selfish, but don't worry, I won't do it again in the future."
"You eat so much by yourself!"
Seeing Ning Jia was still talking, Li Gang became anxious: "Yes, I ate it all! I was born in the Year of the Pig, so I have a big appetite! Is that not okay?"
"Okay!" Ning Jia nodded immediately, "Don't be angry, brother. I just said that. The food has been delivered, and I should go back."
Jinfeng stood up: "Qian, I'll take you there."
Ning Jia stopped her: "Sister-in-law, don't send me off. We live in the same courtyard, so why send me anything? Oh, by the way, there is something I want to tell you. I went to the street and heard people talking about a man who went to Wang Qiaoqiao's house secretly in the middle of the night. I don't know who went to her house in the middle of the night to seek excitement?"
"What time?" Jinfeng's heart sank slightly.
"Who knows? I heard it's been a while. She was seen twice, but it's a pity that no one saw her face. Everyone is guessing who it was! Sister-in-law, you say Wang Qiaoqiao is really restless. She took the initiative to approach you and told you about your miscarriage! I don't know what she's thinking."
Ning Jia mumbled a lot, without saying many things explicitly, but she knew that if Jin Feng was not an extremely dull person, she would have noticed something.
It is better to guide her to discover some things herself than to hear them from others.
