Chapter 19: The Xie family is courting death again.
Luo Ning immediately saw through Liu Aihong's thoughts; at this moment, her pursuit of money had reached a fever pitch.
My mother has no money, and neither does she. My father needs to be taken to the hospital. What should we do?
Just then, the square-faced couple walked in together.
The young woman stuffed a stack of ten-yuan notes into Liu Aihong's hand. "Auntie, my husband and I have limited means, this is all we can offer. Please don't mind, the most important thing is to get Uncle treated first!" Tie Jun had just asked her to borrow money, and she agreed without hesitation.
When the Iron Army got into trouble back then, it was thanks to Company Commander Xie who ran around helping them.
Now that Company Commander Xie's father-in-law is in trouble, they cannot stand idly by.
"This, this is not right..." Liu Aihong was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
Luo Baiwan was also deeply moved. When his family was in trouble, everyone in the village avoided them, but Tie Jun and his wife helped them and lent them money.
That's enough, "Iron Army..."
Luo Ning immediately guessed what her father meant and interrupted him, "Dad, one hundred is enough for the hospital fees. Your illness can't be delayed..."
Tie Jun, could it be Wang Tie Jun? Xie Chang'an's childhood friend? She finally realized how kind the couple were.
This is all thanks to Xie Chang'an.
Luo Ning remembered that on the night of their wedding, Xie Chang'an came home drunk, and the person he was drinking with was Wang Tiejun.
Later, Xie Chang'an inadvertently revealed her doubts, which she initially thought were due to her own deliberate unusual behavior.
Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem that simple. Wang Tiejun must have said something to Xie Chang'an, maybe I...
No, Xie Chang'an knew all about the original owner's messy affairs.
Luo Ning's heart suddenly skipped a beat at this thought. She wondered if Wang Tiejun had mentioned the rooster-comb hairstyle to Xie Chang'an...
She gathered her thoughts, which had wandered far away, and thought to herself, since she already owed that couple a favor, what harm was there in giving them more? She would find a way to repay them later!
Luo Baiwan pondered for a while and then chose to listen to Luo Ning.
This large family, with so much debt, all need him to support and repay.
He can't fall ill...
Luo Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling extremely grateful. "Brother and sister-in-law, I will remember your kindness! Please don't hesitate to ask if you ever need my help!"
It is essential to remember that you must express your stance when necessary and let others know your attitude!
Having lived a second life, Luo Ning has a very clear understanding of human relationships and worldly affairs.
“Girl, what you’re saying is so far-fetched. What do you mean by not paying it back? It’s just a small favor!” Wang Tiejun’s wife waved her hands repeatedly.
Wang Tiejun chimed in, "Luoning, Chang'an and I are childhood friends. Chang'an is serving in the military, so it's only right that we, as his older brother and sister-in-law, help out at home. Don't take it to heart."
Luo Ning readily agreed, "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Brother Wang, sister-in-law, I plan to take my dad to the hospital now, and I'll need your help!"
Wang Tiejun and his wife nodded and went about their business separately.
Wang Tiejun went to Erlaizi's house in the village to borrow a horse-drawn cart, while his wife Zheng Xiue helped Luo Ning prepare the things needed for hospitalization.
With the help of Wang Tiejun and his wife, Luo Ning and Liu Aihong successfully got Luo Baiwan and Luo Jing to the town hospital and were assigned to the same ward. The attending physician was the same young man...
After settling in, Luo Ning and Wang Tiejun returned to the village in a horse-drawn carriage.
On the way, Luo Ning asked about the cause of today's events. She had been busy rescuing people since she got back, and she still didn't know what had happened.
Zheng Xiue blurted out, "It's all because Uncle twisted his back today and can't get up from the kang (heated brick bed). Those animals from the Xie family stole the gifts you and Chang'an brought for your return visit, and even took the eggs your aunt prepared for you. When your aunt argued with them, she got kicked by that old widow from the Xie family. Zhu Cuifen said a lot of nasty things, and Xiao Jing couldn't stand it, so she... jumped into the river!"
Luo Ning gritted her teeth in anger. It was the Xie family courting disaster again. Fine, very well!
"What nonsense are you spouting, woman!" Wang Tiejun said, pulling her aside to speak the truth.
"What nonsense am I spouting? Apart from Xie Chang'an, there's not a single good person in the Xie family!" Zheng Xiu'e glared at him, her face full of self-righteousness.
Luo Ning remained expressionless, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, his heart churning violently.
She only managed to use a knife at the Xie family's house for two days. Luo Ning's eyes were filled with coldness, like a demon crawling out of hell.
After entering the village, Luo Ning returned to the Luo family home, opened the kitchen door, and searched everywhere for food to prepare dinner to send to his parents.
She searched everywhere but found that there was no food at home, or rather, no food at all.
Her eyes welled up with tears. She had expected her parents' home to be emptied, but she hadn't imagined it would be this empty.
Luo Ning sniffed, picked up a large ladle, and hurried out the door.
She rushed to the Xie family's house like a whirlwind, saw chicken feathers still hanging in the foot basin in the yard, and even smelled the aroma of chicken. She kicked open the kitchen door.
In the kitchen, the old lady was kneading dough, Zhu Cuifen was chopping vegetables in the dark, and Qu Fang was sitting in front of the stove tending the fire. The group was busy working and chatting.
The sudden noise silenced them instantly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Luo Ning stepped inside, his murderous aura impossible to conceal.
"We've already separated the family, what are you doing here, you little whore!" The old lady snapped, raising her voice to strike first.
Luo Ning rushed over with lightning speed, grabbed a cleaver from the cutting board with one hand, and lifted the pot lid with the other, releasing the aroma of chicken.
"Luo Ning, what are you doing!" Zhu Cuifen didn't notice that Luo Ning had a knife in his hand and instinctively reached out to grab the pot lid from her.
"Swish, swish, swish!" The kitchen knife flew through the air, and the cotton-padded jacket that Zhu Cuifen had stolen was destroyed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ah—" Zhu Cuifen's pupils shrank, and she fainted without any backbone.
"Help! Help! That little whore Luo Ning is trying to steal our chicken!" the old lady shouted at the top of her lungs. A flash of silver light appeared before her eyes, and her voice caught in her throat.
Qu Fang had already experienced Luo Ning's prowess firsthand, and stood in front of the stove, too afraid to speak, her legs trembling.
Luo Ning suppressed the three men, picked up a spoon, and scooped the chicken and broth from the pot into the steamer he had brought.
"Don't you all know who stole from whom? I'll take back exactly what you took from my parents' house today. If anyone dares to try and take it from me, they'll have to ask my starving kitchen knife for permission!"
Hearing the commotion, Xie Changtai and his brothers rushed over, and the little brat, seeing his chicken being snatched, all grabbed their weapons and came over.
"Luoning, how dare you steal from the Xie family!"
Xie Changtai, who had rushed to the front, was kicked in the chest before he even got close to Luo Ning. Enraged, he rolled on the ground, yelling, "He hit someone! Luo Ning killed someone!"
Xie Changguo was afraid of death and dared not go forward when he saw this scene.
Xie Changle's eyesight was already poor, and in the middle of the night, he was like a blind man, huddled by the door, afraid to move.
The little rascals, however, were quite brave. They all joined forces, some grabbing legs, some grabbing waists, and some biting arms.
Luo Ning picked up the rolling pin and slapped it down. The three little ones' pupils shrank, and they ran faster than rabbits.
cut--
Luo Ning carried all the return gifts on her shoulders and in her hands, saying, "You have embezzled other people's property without permission, driven my sister to jump into the river, caused my father to vomit blood, and even slandered me. I'm going to settle this score with you properly. Just you wait!"
Her entire family, standing behind her, stared at the dark doorway, furious.
