Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 10 Separation (2)

Luo Ning sneered.

She walked up to Xie Chang'an and lowered her voice, "Chang'an, can I make the decision about dividing the family property?"

You dare disagree with even one of them...

Xie Chang'an nodded, somewhat curious about what this woman was up to.

"Thank you!" Luo Ning smiled like a sly fox who had just stolen a bite, making Xie Changguo and his brother uneasy, as they felt that Luo Ning was up to something.

Although the old lady was unhappy that her husband had divided up the land, she pursed her lips and said nothing, thinking that her three sons were still eating from the same pot.

"Dad, let me exchange that acre of land for other land! We have several plots of land down the slope, can you give them all to me?" Luo Ning suggested, his words tinged with naivety.

To bring to life a clueless village girl, Luo Ning took it very seriously, even to the point of being naive.

She doesn't need the land for now, but she can contract it out if needed in the future.

She had a lot of things in her space and needed some cover, so she chose the key location without hesitation.

Her words secretly delighted the Xie family; this field was far more fertile than land, and Luo Ning was a fool.

Seventh Uncle frowned slightly. That girl, Luo Ning—

She doesn't understand anything at all. The young man from Chang'an still spoils her. He just can't see through it.

Xie Chang'an appeared indifferent, but he was even more curious.

Xie Yaolin was kind-hearted after all, and he couldn't bear to hurt his clumsy daughter-in-law.

The old woman gave him a push, saying that if she wanted to, she should just give that barren piece of land to that little whore, and stop dawdling.

Xie Yaolin, pushed around by his wife, had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay!"

Uncle Qi patted his behind and took his leave. Xie Laosan was getting worse and worse; he would regret it later.

Luo Ning and Xie Chang'an personally escorted him home. Luo Ning expressed her gratitude along the way, saying that she would have received nothing without her seventh uncle.

Luo Ning felt sorry for Xie Chang'an, who sent his allowance home every year to support his large family, yet he was treated so coldly.

Everyone at the Xie family's old house was ecstatic; Xie Changtai laughed until his stomach hurt.

Only Qu Fang had her doubts. Luo Ning wasn't stupid; she must have her reasons for doing this today. From then on, she held onto the land very tightly.

Xie Chang'an and Luo Ning returned to their new home, and Luo Ning rolled up her sleeves to prepare dinner.

The family division went relatively smoothly, and she felt great, full of energy. "Dumplings tonight?"

She smelled the aroma of chopped dumpling filling coming from the old house and suddenly wanted to eat dumplings too.

Even an old lady can do this; once the family splits up, they'll be eating well!

She must be overjoyed to finally be free from acting.

Xie Chang'an was about to nod when he heard Luo Ning mutter, "Let's just eat noodles, it's simple, convenient, and delicious!"

Then Luo Ning took the basin and scooped out flour to knead the dough.

The lunch she had made her realize that the food in her space was extraordinary; it tasted better than ordinary food and had a special sweetness.

If she could use the flour from her spatial storage to make noodles at night... just thinking about it made her mouth water.

Her rebirth benefits included a treasure trove, and the spring water was certainly no ordinary thing either. She could almost see little money growing wings and flying towards her. Luo Ning smiled like a wealthy landlord.

Xie Chang'an frowned slightly, feeling excluded, which made him very uncomfortable.

In the old house, he felt like an outsider; here, he didn't want to feel like an outsider.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from outside. Xie Chang'an's eyes flashed, and he quickly went out.

Hearing the noise, Luo Ning stood at the kitchen doorway with a basin in her hand, looking at Xie Chang'an's retreating figure and calling out, "Hey, where are you going?"

"I'll be back soon!" Xie Chang'an's figure disappeared, and his footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Luo Ning's question warmed his heart; the poor child was so lacking in care.

Luo Ning took the opportunity to retrieve a small bag of flour from her spatial storage and began preparing dinner.

Xie Chang'an wandered around outside for a while and accurately pulled out a sneaky fellow from the corn stack next door.

That iconic rooster-like hairstyle infuriated him; he was now too eloquent to speak and just wanted to punch someone.

Xie Chang'an stuffed the corner of the rooster-head's clothes into his mouth, tied his hands behind his back, and gave him a beating.

He was almost certain that the gaze he'd seen outside the police station that afternoon belonged to this bastard. How dare he follow him home? Who did he think he was messing with?!

The moment the man with the rooster-like head hid next door, Xie Chang'an discovered him. He didn't even have a chance to escape or struggle before being brutally beaten by a hail of fists.

Xie Chang'an beat Luo Ning for more than ten minutes, then threw down his rooster-motif haircut and swaggered away, saying, "If you ever dare to get close to Luo Ning again, I'll beat you every time I see you!"

Although he was angry, he was careful not to hurt himself. There was no injury on the rooster-headed man's body, so it would be useless to get a medical examination.

"You bastard, you just wait!" the man with the mohawk said, enduring the pain as he practically crawled away.

Xie Chang'an arrived at the old house and found the door closed, so he jumped over the wall to get inside.

"Who is it?" came the old woman's trembling voice.

"Me!" Xie Chang'an uttered a single word and quickly appeared in the old lady's room. "Luoning is going back to her parents' home on the third day of the Lunar New Year!"

The implication is that they want money to buy a homecoming gift for me!

"I'll go back to my parents' home then, but I have no money!" The old woman retorted, spouting nonsense with a straight face, "There's so much debt at home..."

He was being given the same excuse again, and Xie Chang'an's face turned somewhat ugly. "I know exactly how much money you send back every year, and you know whether there's been a famine or not! I know too!" The annual allowance is enough for the whole family to live on with some left over.

If there is a real famine, the burden will definitely fall on him when the family is divided.

The old lady didn't mention it at all, so it definitely wasn't true.

"Give me the money!" Xie Yaolin tapped his pipe, making the final decision.

Although the old lady was shrewish, she would still listen to the old man. Reluctantly, she took out ten yuan from her pocket and threw it on the ground. "This is all I have. Take it or leave it!" They had already separated the family, yet she was still asking her for money. The old man even sided with her. Let's see how she will torment that little whore Luo Ning in the future.

Xie Chang'an threw a snowball on the ground, which knocked the money away. He then picked it up and turned to leave.

Actually, he still has money, but he can't show it yet, so he can only come to the old lady.

Although he didn't like Luo Ning, he wouldn't neglect proper etiquette.

Xie Chang'an is unaware that he has already accepted the fact that he married Luo Ning from the bottom of his heart...

Luo Ning was unaware that the old lady had held a grudge against her. She finished preparing dinner, and Xie Chang'an just opened the door. The warm and cozy room warmed his cold heart considerably.

"You're back! Go wash your hands, we'll eat right away!" Luo Ning said with a smile as she placed the bowl of noodles on the table.

谢长安心情一片大好，不知道是因为暴揍了情敌，还是因为洛宁给他做饭……

"I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just made something!" Luo Ning explained as she picked out the noodles.

She specially made braised noodles, with meat gravy mixed in with white noodles, added a special tomato sauce, and also cooked a small handful of green vegetables. The color was particularly tempting, and the aroma was so enticing that it made one's mouth water. Luo Ning and Xie Chang'an sat around the table and ate to their hearts' content.

The two finished the small bowl of noodles before finally putting down their chopsticks, completely satisfied.

Xie Chang'an ate most of the noodles; Luo Ning only ate a small bowl because she needed to lose weight and couldn't overindulge.

As Luo Ning reached for the table, Xie Chang'an beat her to it, saying, "I'll wash the dishes, you rest!"

Luo Ning nodded blankly. What a considerate man, what a pity...

Suddenly, she felt quite pathetic. In her past life, Xie Chang'an was like the bright moon in the sky, something she could only look up at.

She came too late in this life; Xie Chang'an already has someone else in his heart!

However, she is still grateful to fate for at least giving her a chance, which she will cherish!

Xie Chang'an meticulously washed the dishes and tidied up the kitchen. He came outside, and Luo Ning pointed to the chair opposite him, "Chang'an, I have something to tell you!"

Xie Chang'an happened to have a question for her, so she readily sat down.
