Chapter 695 River God 2
My aunt was about to yell at me, "What are you talking to me about, you skinny girl? Isn't that the result of your parents' sins?"
If even her own parents wouldn't fight for their daughter, how could her aunt possibly care?
Anyway, the saved food didn't end up in her stomach, so she didn't care whether that brat lived or died.
However, talking to this girl was too damn annoying, so she turned around and went into the kitchen.
Ning Yan pursed her lips, saying, "The saying goes, 'He who has no desires is invincible.'"
When you have no desires, you have no fears, and you can live a comfortable life. When you are comfortable, others will suffer.
However, very few people can do that.
At the dinner table, Ning Yan looked at the half-eaten bowl of rice in her bowl, then glanced at the old lady serving the rice, and silently picked up her chopsticks to eat some food. She had eaten her fill on the mountain before coming down, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to eat if she was given too much.
Her aunt looked at her with obvious schadenfreude, and Ning Yan thought to herself: You old hag, you'll have your day.
After lunch, her aunt wanted Ning Yan to help clean up, but Ning Yan turned and ran away.
My aunt was so angry that she kept cursing and swearing behind me.
Ning Yan: ...I didn't hear you, I didn't hear you, sigh, I just didn't hear you. You want your grandma to do more work? Dream on!
That night, Ning Yan poured a packet of laxatives into the water tank.
You ate so much, let me clean you up.
The next day, my second aunt cooked a meal using water laced with laxatives.
When it came time to serve the food, she only had half a bowl of thin porridge and a tiny steamed bun.
The boys in my family eat like crazy, and they even fight over chopsticks and pickled vegetables.
Ning Yan treated it like watching a show, and ate the porridge in her bowl without changing her expression, but in reality, she directly stored it in her divine palace.
After finishing her meal, she picked up her basket and left; she didn't want to smell the stench.
She had barely stepped out of the yard when the old lady started groaning and crying out.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts so much again! Damn you, second wife, what did you do with this meal?" After saying that, she didn't care about cursing anymore and ran to the toilet clutching her stomach.
The others were also stunned, because his stomach also started to ache. They were all too familiar with this feeling, after all, it had happened once before. They didn't want to wet their pants later, so they quickly found a place to squat.
Yes, in the past two weeks since Ning Yan arrived, she has been drugging her family members whenever she feels unwell, and each time it's a laxative.
This family must live well until she has a proper way to leave.
If they all die, she will only be bullied, and even her house will be taken over by others.
She could also be sold by her tribe to any man she wanted.
This was the tragedy of ancient times. Women were treated like non-human beings, with no right to inherit, no autonomy, and no right to establish their own households. They could only depend on men for survival.
Ning Yan didn't go home for lunch, and didn't even gather pig feed.
The excuse is easy to find: I had diarrhea and I had no energy.
As for how that family reacted?
They didn't even have the strength to hit her.
It takes at least two or three days for someone in this condition to recover.
At noon, the Ning family and the pigs were all squealing in pain. Their stomachs were hurting so badly that they didn't even have the strength to call a doctor, because they couldn't hold it in any longer after walking only two steps.
When Ning Yan got home at night, she went straight to her woodshed, took out a folding bed from her divine palace, laid out a million-dollar mattress, and fell asleep on the bed, ignoring the family's love for her.
After three days of peace, the Ning family finally regained their strength.
Starting the next day, the two aunts were able to cook, after all, they were afraid of starving if they didn't.
And why are they working together?
They kept an eye on each other, afraid that there might be something unclean in the food that would make their family members sick.
The water in that tank was used up yesterday. Even if there were some drug residues in the tank, they could just take another day's worth of medicine. Ning Yan just watched the show from the side.
The whole family was extremely weak and it took them three days to finally recover their energy and spirits.
However, once they had the energy, some people couldn't stay idle.
"Mother, please give me some more money. I need to buy meat. I've been suffering terribly these past few days."
"Alright, alright, wait a minute, Mom will get you the money right away. Look how thin your little face has become, you really need to eat more nourishing food."
After breakfast, Ning Yan was relieved to hear that Ning Qiulan was really going to the city.
Today is the day Ning Qiulan saved the river god.
However, in her previous life she went to the city to buy clothes, but in this life she goes to buy meat.
Ning Qiulan shouldn't use the debt of saving her life like that; she should take the credit for it.
"Sanya, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and clear the dishes."
Ning Yan wasn't about to obediently listen. "Second Aunt, if I clean up the dishes, will you go up the mountain to gather pig feed for me?"
"Ugh, this brat, she's even learned to talk back now. You think I can't boss you around anymore?"
Ning Yan thought to herself, "Just because you order me around doesn't mean I have to listen to you! I haven't eaten your rice!"
She was too lazy to argue with this person, so she went out of the house, picked up her basket, and left.
Second Aunt had no choice but to reluctantly clean up herself, but her mouth never stopped, chattering on and on, and you could tell without even listening that she was cursing Sanya.
After leaving home, Ning Yan headed straight for the road leading out of the village.
Sure enough, Ning Qiulan came out in less than fifteen minutes.
Being favored and not being favored are indeed different. None of the original owner's clothes were without patches, while Ning Qiulan's clothes were not only new but also made of good materials. With her outfit today, people would believe she was a young lady from a wealthy family.
However, her good days are almost over.
Ning Qiulan walked incredibly slowly, which made Ning Yan anxious. She had already decided that the best spot for her to ambush someone was outside the village. Further ahead was an open area, and it wouldn't be good if she were seen by someone.
The villagers all walk to the city, but Ning Qiulan is rich and usually takes an oxcart. However, oxcarts are not always available, and sometimes she has to go to the town to catch one.
Fortunately, their village is only a little over two miles from the town, so it's not a problem to walk there.
There are no oxcarts coming to town from the village today, so she walked by herself.
After waiting for the woman to come over, Ning Yan popped her head out from behind the tree, raised the large wooden stick in her hand, and hit Ning Qiulan on the neck.
The next second, Ning Qiulan swayed and fainted to the ground.
Ning Yan quickly took the person into her divine palace.
After all, it's not safe to leave someone here; it would be troublesome if she woke up early and ran to rescue her.
After dealing with Ning Qiulan, Ning Yan went straight to the riverbank to keep watch. The river god was quite simple-minded, and she didn't want to play tricks on him. A practical approach was better than anything else.
In the original owner's memory, Ning Qiulan went home around noon and called her eldest and second uncles to bring the river god home from the riverbank. She also asked the old lady to call a doctor, so she would have to wait a while.
The river is quite deep, and it looks like there are quite a few fish in it. You can see fish surfacing and blowing bubbles every now and then.
Around noon, Ning Yan was catching fish in the shallow water when suddenly a figure fell from the sky not far ahead, landing on the riverbank with a "bang," scaring away all the fish in the river.
