"Mom, why do you start making a fuss when it's time to eat?" Li Yao frowned.
This was the first time he defended Ning Jia so openly and publicly.
He also had a share in catching fish, so it can't all be blamed on Ning Jiaxu. Besides, he also saw clearly that his biological mother was more partial to the seventh child.
"I'm making a fuss? Why am I making a fuss?" Old Mrs. Xu was so jealous when she saw her son openly defending his wife. "My son has grown up and knows how to support his wife. He doesn't like me, his mother, right?"
"Mom, why are you making a big deal out of this?" Li Xu also interrupted.
Sorry, he was also involved in this matter. He is still the older brother, and the blame cannot be left to his younger siblings alone.
"Old Five, are you protecting her too?"
"It's not that I'm protecting her, but you should stop causing trouble for her. Grandpa finally got a wife, don't let anyone scare her away." Li Xu said.
When Mrs. Xu saw that her two sons were speaking for Ning Jia, she was so angry that her head exploded. She glanced over and saw that her other sons all lowered their heads.
No one dared to look her in the eye, lest the flames of war spread to themselves.
"Brother, you can't..."
“Shut up!”
Li Chuan wanted to speak up to defend Lin Xiaoxi, but before he could finish his words, Li Yao yelled at him.
"It's been messy enough in the future, so just stop talking." Li Xu said.
"But...Sister-in-law, please don't..."
"I told you to stop talking!" Ning Jia also said to him.
She looked down on Li Chuan from the bottom of her heart. This guy was the worst.
In the original text, he always sided with Lin Xiaoxi, doing things that went against his conscience, without caring about their brotherhood at all.
In the end, Lin Xiaoxi abandoned him. Looking at his love-sick look, I'm afraid even ten cows couldn't pull him out.
"If he won't tell you, then you tell me! Just tell me where those fish went? Did you catch them?" Old Mrs. Xu accused harshly.
"Then I have to ask Lin Zhiqing first, what qualifications do you have to question me? The fish in the water bubble are wild fish, just like the wild boars in the mountains. Whoever finds it is the one who owns it," Ning Jia asked back.
"I put the fish fry there! I've been raising them for so long!" Lin Xiaoxi got excited and shouted, "These are my fish, did you understand? My fish! Just tell me if you caught them or not?"
"No." Ning Jia denied.
"You're so stubborn!" Lin Xiaoxi threw the candy wrapper in front of Ning Jia, "Isn't this what you want to eat?"
Seeing this, Li Xu quickly shrank his neck.
An Ye saw this scene and raised her hand to pinch Li Xu's thigh.
"Ah~" Li Xu almost jumped up.
"Do you want to eat?" An Ye asked.
"Yes...it was me. I was bored at the time, and you gave me some delicious candy..."
An Ye twisted it again: "It's all your fault that caused all this trouble!"
"I, I, I, it's all my fault. Wife, can we go somewhere else? Don't keep sticking to the same spot."
An Ye glared at him: "It's useless."
Ning Jia saw the candy wrapper and snorted, "No."
"You still don't admit it!!" Lin Xiaoxi really hated Ning Jia's stubborn look.
"Yeah, why should I admit it? You have no evidence."
"Isn't this candy wrapper evidence? Don't you know where this candy came from?"
"What kind of evidence is this? You said I ate the candy, so if you call out candy wrapper, do you think she will agree?"
Lin Xiaoxi was furious: "Ning Jia, you...you are playing rogue."
Ning Jia snorted and laughed twice: "You are such an interesting person. You don't even have any solid evidence, but you come here and ask me to admit it! What should I admit?"
"You..." Lin Xiaoxi couldn't do anything with Ning Jia, so she turned her gaze to Old Lady Xu.
Old Mrs. Xu was also helpless.
Ning Jia didn't listen to her either. No one knew what kind of magic potion this little vixen had given her son, causing him to become alienated from her.
"Sister-in-law An Ye, please say a few words for me." An enemy is an enemy and a friend. Lin Xiaoxi wanted to win over An Ye to help her.
An Ye raised his eyelids and glanced at her nonchalantly:
"What can I say for you? You don't even have a piece of evidence. What do you want me to say for you? You brought a bunch of gifts home last time. You prepared one for everyone except me and Ning Jia. Ning Jia deserved it for not getting one. What about me?"
"Who deserves it?" Ning Jia immediately refused to do it.
"You deserve it!" said An Ye.
Ning Jia was angry: "Li Yao, take her bone soup and don't let her drink a single sip."
Li Xu hurriedly said, "No, no, no, sister-in-law, calm down. If you want to take him in, you should take in the seventh child first."
"You're right. If anyone is so heartless again in the future, he'd better not eat anything bought from my house." Ning Jia said.
Li Chuan: “…”
This is pure retaliation!
After Ning Jia finished scolding Li Chuan, he went on to say to Li Yao, "Go to the brigade and ask if anyone is secretly raising fish fry in a pond. Is this considered stealing from the public? What punishment should the brigade give them?"
Li Yao: "Okay, I'll go ask."
"Wait! Why do you say that I stole the fry from the team?"
Ning Jia raised the corner of his mouth: "Have you forgotten? You were there when the fish pond was stocked with fry!"
"You can't say I stole the whole team!"
"Where did you steal from?"
"I stole..." Lin Xiaoxi was almost kidnapped by her, "I didn't steal anything!"
"If I didn't steal them, where did you get the fish fry from?"
"I..." Lin Xiaoxi was fooled, but she quickly realized, "You can't prove that I stole the fish fry! There were many people present that day, and the fish fry in the water bubble could have been put in by someone else."
"Huh? That's strange. Didn't you just admit that it was you who did it?" Ning Jia said immediately.
Lin Xiaoxi: "I..."
In a hurry, she was actually confused by Ning Jia.
"Haha." An Ye sneered, "Lin Zhiqing, with your IQ, why are you still fighting with Ning Jia? I think you should stop now. Don't just sit here and grind your butt naked, it's embarrassing to go around in circles."
"Yeah, yeah." Ning Jia nodded vigorously. "An Ye, you finally said something I like to hear. Now I don't think you are so annoying anymore."
An Ye turned his face away: "Tsk!"
"Okay, stop arguing." As the eldest brother, Li Gang finally spoke up. "The husband says he is right, and the wife says she is right, but no one has any evidence. I think we should just let it go and not disturb everyone's meal. Lin Zhiqing, if you want, you can sit down and have some soup too."
"No! She wants to, but I won't allow her." Ning Jia immediately refused.
Old Lady Xu really couldn't stand Ning Jia's arrogance: "Good fellow, it's just a sip of bone soup, look how proud you are! If you had a tail behind your butt, you would be able to fly to the sky!"
Ning Jia grinned: "Mom, you are right, I am proud! If you can pay for some meat for the whole family to have a big meal, I will give you this tail and let you go to heaven first!"
