Chapter 12 Wow! Grandma, you're finally here!
Mu Cheng'an and the others who had just arrived overheard Ning Bao's words. They knew the girl was talking nonsense, but he still stared at Zhao Juhua and her granddaughter with an air of self-righteousness.
"Grandma, we all saw it just now. My Ningbao and Chengye were quite far away from Mu Chengrong. They didn't touch Mu Chengrong at all."
Mu Chengrong was standing there when he suddenly got injured; it has nothing to do with my younger siblings.
“Yes, it’s okay.” Seeing a row of older brothers coming over, Ningbao suddenly felt confident and denied it with a straight face.
When Mu Chengrong saw his grandmother approaching, he immediately removed his hand from his mouth and burst into tears.
"Wow! Grandma, you're finally here! Your eldest grandson is about to be beaten to death!"
Zhao Juhua looked at her eldest grandson who had lost two front teeth, his mouth was swollen like a chicken's anus, and the place where the teeth had fallen out was still bleeding.
This injury was clearly caused by being hit!
Although Zhao Juhua was a country woman with no education, she didn't believe that her grandson's teeth would fall out by themselves if he stood there without anyone hitting him.
Although her grandson is of the age to lose his baby teeth, she had just checked them yesterday. Apart from being a little black, a little yellow, and a little smelly, his teeth were fine and showed no signs of falling out.
She hugged Mu Chengrong tightly, her face full of heartache...
No!
She should have held him in her arms. Originally, Zhao Juhua wanted to hug him, but she couldn't lift him, so she had to change her hugging to holding him in her arms.
Zhao Juhua pulled Mu Chengrong into her arms, then looked up and glared angrily at Mu Chengye and Ning Bao.
"Tell me! Did you do it?"
Although Ningbao is young and has a big appetite, she eats everything and is not picky about food. However, she never suffers a loss. Although she was the one who broke Mu Chengrong's tooth, no one saw it!
Besides, she knocked on his front teeth because he wanted to eat Lingling. Ning Bao didn't think she was wrong. Holding Mu Cheng'an with one hand and Shen Sijian with the other, she confidently stared at Zhao Juhua.
“It’s not us, we’re far away from him!” Mu Chengye continued.
"It was Mu Chengrong who tried to eat my sister's cat, and the gods were enraged, so they took away his teeth. If you want to blame someone, blame the gods!"
Although Zhao Juhua was domineering, she was just an ignorant woman, and she dared not provoke these gods and ghosts.
Upon hearing Mu Chengye mention "gods," she was immediately startled and paused for a moment, then scolded Mu Chengye.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?"
What kind of deity?
How dare you speak so carelessly about gods?
Do you want to die?
Your second wife's children are becoming increasingly ill-mannered!
"Today I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents." As Zhao Juhua spoke, she gently pushed Mu Chengrong aside and then reached for Mu Chengye.
Fortunately, Mu Cheng'an and the others were all there. Zhao Juhua tried to grab them several times but couldn't catch them, and she was so angry that she jumped up and down.
Ning Bao, protected behind Mu Cheng'an, thought about what Zhao Juhua had just said. It seemed that Zhao Juhua was quite afraid of the gods.
Suddenly, Ning Bao had a bright idea. She peeked out from behind Mu Chengju.
“Grandma, didn’t you say you didn’t believe that the gods took away Mu Chengrong’s front teeth? Then let’s make a bet.”
After Ning Bao finished speaking, she looked at Mu Chengrong.
"Do you dare to bet with me? If you don't, you're a coward!"
Mu Chengrong was already eight years old and knew what shame was. If he didn't make the bet with this chubby little boy, his friends in the village would definitely call him a coward, and he didn't want to be a coward.
"Fine, let's make a bet! I'm not afraid of you! Tell me, how do you want to bet?"
Ningbao's little eyes darted around as she looked at Mu Chengrong with a serious expression.
"This bet is simple. We'll swear to God: I swear I didn't touch you, and you swear that whoever lies about us touching you will be struck by lightning. How about it? Are you in?"
Mu Chengrong glanced at the two large front teeth that had fallen to the ground, enough to eat meat, and felt an instant pang of heartache. He glared fiercely at Ning Bao.
"Swearing an oath is fine, what's there to be afraid of? You go first!"
Although Mu Chengrong was still a child, he had heard his grandfather say that when it thundered and rained, the rivers in their area were so dry that they had dried up.
It has been very rainy since last year. They had to flee the famine because of the lack of rain. How could it suddenly rain?
He's going to win!
Ningbao stretched out her chubby little hand, ready to swear, but Mu Chengye grabbed it.
"Sister, I'll take the lightning! If anyone's going to get struck by lightning, let it strike me!"
"Yes, yes, let Chengye do it!" Mu Chengan and the others nodded in agreement. They originally wanted to do it themselves, but it was a matter for Ning Bao and the other children. They just needed to watch from the sidelines and make sure they didn't suffer any losses.
Although it was his own suggestion, seeing how easily his older brothers had already pushed it out, Mu Chengye felt a little disappointed.
Fortunately, his younger sister is very considerate...
Ning Bao pulled Mu Chengye over. Then she stood in front of him.
"Fourth Brother, I'll take care of it. Don't worry, I'll be fine!"
