Chapter 148 Not Your Biological Child
Soon, Wu Yumei spoke up first, "I have to go to work too, Lao Kang, why don't you ever help me cook or anything? Xiao Li's husband downstairs always helps her cook."
Ning Kang was surprised. "What are you talking about? What kind of man does housework? Everyone in our compound laughs at Xiao Liu, saying he doesn't act like a man and does things that women do."
“What’s this about men and women? Men and women are equal. We all envy how much Xiao Li’s husband dotes on her. Xiao Liu and Xiao Li both work. Xiao Liu isn’t like you, who just waits to eat as soon as she gets home from work,” Wu Yumei retorted.
Ning Kang frowned, "This is getting more and more absurd. Why are you saying these things in front of the child? I think you've taken the wrong medicine!"
"I didn't take the wrong medicine! You just don't care about me. If you don't want to do it, fine, but you don't even ask them to. Xiaolan, you're heartless too. You haven't helped me with the housework all these years. Before, with that bitch Ningxuan taking the lead, I didn't let you lift a finger. But after that bitch went to the countryside, you didn't even lend me a hand. I've raised you for nothing!" Knowing that Ning Kang couldn't be relied on, Wu Yumei vented her anger on Ning Lan.
Ning Lan, with her personality, couldn't stand this. "Why should I do it? Ning Hui doesn't have to do anything either."
“What are you comparing yourself to Ning Hui? He’s still so young, how old are you?” Wu Yumei firmly defended her son.
"You're just biased. He's younger. When Ningxuan was this young, didn't you also order her around doing this and that? If she didn't do it, you would cut back on her food and secretly pinch her. When she complained, you would say she was lying and that she accidentally bumped into something. Even Dad, who's so muddle-headed, believed you."
"You always secretly give Ninghui treats when I'm not home. Don't think I don't know. That brat Ninghui always brags to me. You're just biased and favor boys over girls!" Ning Lan retorted.
“Am I not good enough to you? I found a way to get your stepfather to buy you the job, and I even let you go to high school. Go out and see how many girls can go to high school. You didn’t do housework later, but I didn’t force you to. Look at any family’s daughters who don’t help with housework. Am I not good enough to you?”
"What's this? Ninghui doesn't even need to ask. You'll definitely prepare these things for him in the future. Besides, you don't ask Ninghui to do housework, so why should I do it myself..."
When Ning Hui saw Ning Lan mention him, he also spoke up, "Mom just loves me. All the good food is mine. Mom said that since I'm a boy, everything in the house will be mine in the future. You'll get married sooner or later, so you're like water spilled from a bowl."
The scene became extremely chaotic. Ning Lan bitterly accused Wu Yumei of favoring Ning Hui, and then mocked Ning Kang for not being able to see that his own daughter was being abused by her stepmother. She also said that Wu Yumei was incompetent and couldn't even handle Ning Xuan.
Wu Yumei raised her hand to hit Ning Lan, but Ning Kang stood up and stopped her. "What Xiao Lan said is true. Did you really abuse Xiao Xuan before? And what kind of nonsense did you teach Ning Hui? He's only a few years old!" Then he turned to Ning Xuan and asked, "Why didn't you tell me, Xiao Xuan?"
Ning Xuan looked at him with an ambiguous expression. "I told you, did you believe me? Don't you believe Wu Yumei's words more?"
"You're an ungrateful wretch who can't be raised. Being a stepmother is so hard. You haven't called me 'Mom' once in all these years. You still have your unlucky mother in your heart? It's no use having your heart in your heart. You think you've grown up and your wings have hardened? You're not as easy to control as before. You still want me to serve you like a master? You wretched girl, do you deserve it?"
You should be like a maid in this house, just like when you were a child, serving our whole family well!
"Slap!" Ning Kang slapped Wu Yumei across the face. "What nonsense are you spouting? How can you say such things? Aren't you afraid of being labeled? Apologize to Xiao Xuan right now!"
"No way! Are you still thinking about that other one? I've been married to you for so many years, working so hard inside and outside the house. You come home to a hot meal, and I even bring you bath water at night. You're so heartless."
"How am I heartless? Didn't I get you this job? And my own daughter went to the countryside, while I paid for your daughter from your ex-husband's job. Don't you have any conscience?"
"Fine, what do you mean by 'my daughter with my ex-husband'? Didn't you say you'd treat Ninglan like your own daughter? You were just trying to fool me. Humph, you didn't expect this, did you? Xiaohui isn't your biological son either!"
"Bang!" Ning Kang kicked aside the stool blocking his way, stepped forward and grabbed Wu Yumei forcefully. "What do you mean Ning Hui isn't my biological son? Then whose son is he?!"
Wu Yumei still had to remember to answer, at which point Ning Hui gave Ning Kang a funny face, "Uncle Qian is my dad, hehehe~"
"What Uncle Qian? Ning Hui, who is this Uncle Qian you're talking about?!" Ning Kang grabbed Ning Hui and questioned him loudly.
Ning Hui struggled, "Let me go! Uncle Qian is Uncle Qian, he's better than you. He always buys me lots of delicious food!"
Seeing Ning Kang so angry that he grabbed a stool and was about to smash Ning Hui, Ning Xuan quickly stopped him, afraid that he might kill someone in his anger.
Good heavens! She really didn't expect that Ning Hui wasn't Ning Kang's biological son. She originally only planned to have Wu Yumei reveal the truth about how she mistreated the original owner in front of Ning Kang, but she never expected to unearth such a huge truth.
This is so dramatic! I wonder who this Uncle Qian that Ning Hui is talking about is. Wu Yumei is really something, daring to let Ning Hui know about his existence. Isn't she afraid that Ning Hui will let it slip?
Ning Xuan easily grabbed Ning Kang's arm and took the stool down. "Dad, calm down. If you keep smashing it like that, are you trying to kill Ning Hui? He's right here. You should recognize him first."
Since it was time for questioning, Ning Xuan simply dripped a drop of premium truth potion onto each of Wu Yumei and the other two. Premium potion is more convenient, as it takes effect without needing to be drunk.
Next came the interrogation. Ning Xuan was also curious about how Wu Yumei would conduct the interrogation, so she sat down and listened.
Because of the obedience potion and the truth-telling potion, Wu Yumei and the other two did not resist at all and stayed in place to wait for Ning Kang to question them.
The three of them answered Ning Kang's questions honestly.
"Tell me, what exactly happened? Who is Ning Hui your father with?" Ning Kang finally calmed down and began to question Wu Yumei about the truth.
Under the influence of the medicine, Wu Yumei honestly confessed, "This all started when you lost your wife and began planning to find a second one..."
Ning Xuan, listening from the side, felt increasingly sympathetic towards Ning Kang.
