Chapter 041 My King Peeping
When it was almost dark, the few of them finally cleaned the yard.
Shen Ning wiped the sweat off her face: "Let's hire a few people tomorrow. I'm afraid we won't have time to do these things in the future."
"Miss, are you going to buy someone?"
Qiyue was a little uneasy: "Aren't we just servants? Does the lady think we are bad?"
Little Eleven and Twelve also became a little nervous. A fierce look flashed in the young boy's eyes: "Young lady, do you think we are useless? We are afraid that we will cause trouble for you today. Tonight, we will kill their whole family..."
July shouted hurriedly: "Eleven!"
The young boy then stopped.
Shen Ning laughed helplessly: "What are you thinking? You want to beat up someone's whole family? If others do something bad, I will naturally deal with them. Why would I close the door and blame my own family? I'm not a fool!"
Looking at the pile of black, sticky rotten fruit mixed with mud that had been swept out from the ground... Shen Ning turned her head to look at the wall between the two houses.
She clapped her hands and said, "Let's go wash up and cook first, and then we'll talk after dinner."
After washing her hands and changing her clothes, Shen Ning went to the kitchen to cook.
Yuanyue and the others will be back soon, and she has to cook for the thirteen of them... She really needs to hire a few servants quickly, otherwise she really won't have the time.
Time is a bit tight, so Chen Ning prepares to make maocai.
The three little ones were picking vegetables, washing vegetables and lighting a fire nearby, cooperating very well... While cooking the soup base, she stirred a few eggs into the flour and prepared to make pancakes.
When Yuanyue's group of teenagers returned home, they smelled the rich aroma of sesame seed cakes and wheat and another fragrant smell in the yard.
These past few days, the teenagers already knew how delicious Shen Ning’s cooking was, and they secretly swallowed their saliva and hurried to wash themselves.
Wu Yue was a little uneasy: "Brother Yuan Yue, we are servants, why does the master still cook for us?"
The calm Yuan Yue also frowned slightly, unable to explain why...
During the meal, Yuan Yue and the others still refused to go to the main hall to eat with Shen Ning. This time, Shen Ning frowned, and the group of teenagers obeyed.
There are two tables in the main room, which can accommodate thirteen people for dinner.
The maocai was a thirteen-spice dish made with soup and lemon. The teenagers ate it with sweat and even drank up the soup base in the end.
Shen Ning could see that these little guys had huge appetites. If she didn't know how to make money, she really couldn't afford to raise these little things.
After dinner, August and September cleaned up, washed the dishes, and cleaned up. Knowing that they had arranged the order themselves, Shen Ning did not interfere. She took a walk to digest the food, and when she felt that she was almost done, she walked into the yard.
"Eleven Twelve, go get the ladder."
The two little ones didn't know what she wanted to do, but they still obediently brought the ladder. Then they saw Shen Ning rummaging through a few bottles, pouring some powder particles together, and then pouring it into the large basket of rotten fruits and mud.
Then she picked up the large basket of rotten fruits and mud and climbed the ladder to climb the wall.
Eleven was startled, then rushed to the backyard. The next moment, Yuan Yue came running over: "Miss."
The boy lowered his voice very low: "What do you want to do?"
Shen Ning took a breath and said, "Nothing, just pour these things into their well."
Although she didn't know why the fat woman targeted her, they built this yard for her, so she certainly couldn't let them have an easy time.
These rotten fruits need to be treated with medicine and made smelly.
"Let me do it, miss."
Yuanyue stepped forward and held the ladder.
Shen Ning hesitated: "You? Can you lift it?"
Hey, the boy seems to have grown a bit recently, already a little taller than her...
Yuan Yue stretched out her hand, and Shen Ning tried to hand him the basket. Then she saw that the basket that she had to hold up while panting was easily lifted up by the young man with one hand.
Shen Ning was immediately happy: "Not bad, not bad, go and quietly pour these things into their well."
"yes."
Yuanyue easily climbed over the wall and landed in the next yard. When she came back soon, the basket was empty.
Shen Ning was satisfied: "Okay, go take a shower and go to bed."
Awesome little guys!
She felt refreshed, turned around and hummed a song as she went into her room...
The full moon was high in the sky, the night was quiet, and a figure landed in the yard like a ghost.
In the front room, Yuan Yue frowned slightly and moved her ears, but she didn't notice any movement. Her alert consciousness fell into sleep again.
Xiao Nanchen glanced towards the side room and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He naturally knew that these little things that Shen Ning picked up were not simple. However, they had no master now and were very loyal to Shen Ning, so there was no harm in keeping them.
She was lucky, as she could easily pick up a secret guard who had been trained by others for several years.
Xiao Nanchen took a few steps towards Shen Ning's room.
He was just passing by and came back to take a look... She must have felt bad since he was away these days.
I was bullied by my neighbor today. Although I retaliated against him, I don’t know if he will hide away and worry about it alone.
The room was quiet and sounded like it was asleep.
Xiao Nanchen felt relieved, took a half step back, turned around and was about to leave... But at this moment, he suddenly heard some sounds, like sobbing?
Do you hide and cry when you are bullied?
It's not like her style...
But Xiao Nanchen still felt a little nervous and couldn't help but take two steps forward. He hesitated for a moment, then looked inside through the half-open window.
The weather was hot, and the window here faced a clump of bamboo outside. Yuanyue and the others would not come here, so Chen Ning slept with the window open to enjoy the cool air.
There was mosquito repellent incense burning on the windowsill. The fragrance was very faint and was blown into the house by the wind.
Xiao Nanchen followed the wisps of cigarette smoke and looked inside, but after just a glance, he suddenly stepped back, turned around, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath helplessly.
It's really indecent. What the hell is he wearing?
Shen Ning was wearing a homemade suspenders and shorts to keep cool. For her, this was normal and she never wore them outside. However, His Royal Highness Prince Ding, who had the urge to "peek" through the window, had never seen anyone dressed like this before.
The thin straps were hanging loosely on her fair and delicate shoulders. She was sleeping in a terrible posture, with one leg straddling the pillow she was hugging, revealing a large area of her slender waist...
It's disgraceful!
By the way, he just heard her crying so he wanted to confirm it. He didn’t see whether she was crying or not when he took a look at her just now.
After hesitating for a moment, His Royal Highness Prince Ding took another half step towards the window, but ultimately did not look inside.
The next moment, he turned around and flew away without looking back...
Early the next morning, Shen Ning was awakened by screams coming from next door.
"God damn it, you have no conscience, yue... How can I drink this well water, yue..."
Not long after, the gate of Shen Ning's house was slammed.
It was at this time that Shen Ning discovered that Yuanyue was still at home and did not go to build the house with Eryue and the others.
Seeing Shen Ning coming out, Yuan Yue whispered, "I'm worried that they'll come and cause trouble."
Shen Ning knew that the boy was afraid that she would be bullied, so she patted him with a smile: "It's okay, let's go and take a look."
When he opened the door, he saw the fat woman from yesterday standing at the door with her hands on her hips, looking angry. She said to the old man in the dark purple robe next to her, "Old man, this is her family. She must have done it. She poured something into our well."
The old man bowed to Chen Ning and said, "Madam Chen, I am the village elder of Lindou Street. This is Madam Nie who lives next door to you. Madam Nie said that your family poured rotten rambutans into their well last night, polluting the well water. The water in their well has a foul odor and now they have no water to use. Is this true?"
Chen Ning calmly blocked Yuan Yue who was about to take a step forward, and opened her eyes slightly wide: "What are you talking about, old man? We just moved here a few days ago and haven't had time to get to know our neighbors yet. We have no grudges or hatred, so how could we pour rotten fruit into our neighbor's well?"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly said, "By the way, aren't the rambutans from Madam Nie's own yard? How could they be brought to my house?"
Chen Ning looked at Madam Nie with a half-smile: "Could it be that we picked Madam Nie's fruit last night, gathered it up, and then dumped the rotten fruit into their well... The whole process, from beginning to end, Madam Nie's family didn't hear a single sound?"
Madam Nie blushed, "The fruit fell into your yard yesterday. You must have swept it all together and dumped it into my well."
Li Lao frowned slightly.
Chen Ning also smiled: "Oh, then may I ask Madam Nie, why did all your rambutan fruits fall into my yard?"
Madam Nie was suddenly choked and stammered, unable to speak.
Li Lao noticed something was going on. After a pause, he said to Madam Nie in a cold voice, "It's your own fruit and your own well. You can't blame others for it... Go back and don't cause any more trouble."
Madam Nie cried out in anger, "Even rotten fruit wouldn't stink that bad. You must have drugged it!"
Chen Ning blinked: "This, the well water is smelly and you blame others, maybe there is a dead rat in it or something?"
"you……"
Madam Nie felt even more disgusted after hearing this. She almost vomited when she thought of the pungent stench of the well water drawn today. However, the head of the village had already given her a cold look, and she knew that she would not be able to make any progress today.
He was taking other people's money to do things for them, and he deliberately excluded and bullied this new neighbor. He thought that she was a helpless widow who moved from the countryside, and it would not be easy to bully her, but he didn't expect that he would meet someone who was difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, I got some silver, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss this time... Yue, what evil did this woman do, so smelly.
Can that well still be used?
