Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 211 The Asparagus Fern Died from Flooding

"From now on, you are not allowed to call Luo Ning by her name. Call her Auntie!"

Qiangzi immediately exploded, "Are you out of your mind? I call you brother and she aunt, what kind of seniority is that?"

"I call your mom sister-in-law, I'm your elder, you should call me uncle from now on!" Xie Chang'an said with absolute confidence. Qiangzi was about the same age as Luo Ning, and he was too much of an eyesore.

"I don't care what you say, I'm not going to change my mind. You can grow old if you want, I'll just call myself Luo Ning!" Qiangzi leaned back in his chair, arguing with Xie Chang'an, and even gave Xie Chang'an a particularly smug sidelong glance. "If you're so tough, get up and hit me."

"Get out!" Xie Chang'an roared in exasperation.

The door creaked open, and a graceful young woman stood in the doorway, rolling her eyes.

"Brother Xie, you've gotten so angry after just one injury! You told me to get lost as soon as I arrived, what do you mean by that?"

At this moment, Luo Ning, humming a tuneless melody, got up and left by the river.

We didn't notice being targeted by those selling the films today, probably because Yin Feifan was on guard earlier.

As she rode her bicycle unsteadily out of the military district gate, she saw that middle-aged man with a limp walking towards her again.

Luo Ning narrowed her eyes slightly, turned her head to watch the man disappear before turning her gaze away and quickly riding away on her bicycle.

Tian Susu waited at home for more than an hour, but Yin Qin did not appear. Instead, she saw a paper airplane fly in through the window.

She grabbed the paper airplane, looked out the window, and saw a green figure from behind.

Tian Susu's face darkened, she closed the window, and immediately disassembled the paper airplane.

A familiar line of notes came into view: Yin Qin had been successfully brainwashed by Luo Ning, and Yin Feifan had sent her and Liu Lili back to their hometown.

A murderous glint flashed in Tian Susu's eyes as she slammed the paper onto the table.

Luo Ning, it's Luo Ning again. She spent five years on Yin Qin, and it was all for nothing.

Tian Susu picked up a pen and paper, sat down by the window, and began to write...

A few minutes later, she placed a pot of asparagus fern on the wall in the backyard to bask in the sun. She had overwatered it a few days ago, and it was almost drowned.

Luo Ning rode his bicycle through the streets and alleys under the blazing sun, having a great time, constantly bumping into walls.

I was either being chased by dogs, or being chased by people with sticks, and my face was almost scratched by a cat.

Luo Ning never expected that the people of Jidu were so fierce; it was absolutely outrageous.

Just as she was about to be driven crazy by that little jerk of summer heat, a quiet little courtyard house came into view.

Luo Ning's eyes lit up, as if he had seen an oasis after walking in the desert for too long and was parched and about to die. He hurriedly pushed his cart to knock on the gate of the courtyard house with the word "For Rent" written on it.

An elderly woman with white hair stood at the door, looking puzzled. "Young lady, who are you looking for?"

Luo Ning, holding the handlebars of the bicycle with one hand, took out a dime and handed it over, saying, "Auntie, I'm a little thirsty, could you give me a bowl of water?"

"You silly girl, you don't need to pay for plain water. Come on in, and bring your bicycle in too! Your new bike is eye-catching, don't let anyone steal it!"

"Okay! Thank you so much, you're such a kind person!" Luo Ning pushed his bicycle in and closed the door.

The old woman quickly brought out a bowl of plain water and handed it to Luo Ning, who was looking around in the yard, with a smile. "Girl, drink up!"

"Thank you, Auntie!" Luo Ning took the water and drank it all in one gulp, then wiped her mouth.

The old lady had actually put sugar in the water; she was a kind person. Luo Ning handed the bowl over with both hands.

“Auntie, I saw a ‘For Rent’ sign on your door. Is this the place for rent? My sister-in-law and I are looking for a quiet place to rent, but I’ve looked all over and haven’t found anything suitable! I think this place is nice. The environment is good, and it’s close to the military area, so it’s relatively safe.”

"Yes!" The old lady nodded happily, never expecting that a bowl of plain water would attract a tenant.

"It's just me and my two old men living here. My grandson is serving in the military in another city and doesn't come home most of the year. The house is always empty. There are three small suites with different sizes, each with a kitchen and a toilet. You can cook and take a shower. There are beds, furniture, pots and pans, etc. You can move in right away. If you want to rent, I can give you a discount!"

Her family's courtyard house is located by the river, at the deepest part of the alley.

Most people wouldn't find such a secluded place, and coupled with her high price, it remained unrented for three consecutive years, even though everything in the house was brand new.

She finally found a little girl today, and she didn't want to scare her away again.

They deliberately asked for a high price to weed out some unscrupulous thugs and mean-spirited people, since they were just the two of them living alone and they couldn't do anything if they encountered bad people.

Today, this young girl said she was very relieved to have her sister-in-law move in with her.

This small courtyard house is furnished, so you can move in with just your belongings. It's just an elderly couple living there with a simple family relationship. What Luo Ning finds most appealing is that there's a shower and a kitchen. But how come they have a grandson when they don't have a son or daughter-in-law? Was he adopted?

"Auntie, money is not a problem. I have something I need to make clear to you first, so you won't be unhappy later."

My sister-in-law has a mother-in-law whose health isn't very good. If that's a taboo for you, then forget it!

Luo Ning had just looked at several houses, but because of this taboo, she was chased away in a chaotic mess. It's so frustrating...

"I see!" The old woman hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked back.

"Girl, wait a moment, I'll go and discuss this with my old man!"

“Okay!” Luo Ning nodded happily and strolled around the yard.

A short while later, Luo Ning heard a strong, aged voice say, "What does it matter? Everyone gets sick and has misfortunes when they get old. Don't you often have leg pain? My arm isn't good either. I think that wife is a good one. What else do you want to choose? Rent it to them!"

The older woman came out quickly, smiling apologetically, "Girl, you heard everything, right? We'll rent the house to you. How would you like to rent it?"

"Auntie, may I take a look at the house first?" Luo Ning asked innocently, her eyes crinkling into a smile.

"Sure, sure!" The old lady immediately led Luo Ning and picked up the keys to go see the house.

After looking around, Luo Ning had an idea.

“Girl, you’ve seen it too, everything in the house is new. You’re the first tenants. The three rooms are 60 a month for the big one, 50 for the small one, and 30 for the smallest one. You’re just one person, so I think your sister-in-law can rent the 50 one. You can take the 30 one!” the old lady said with a smile.

"Thank you for thinking of me, Auntie, but I still want the biggest one. It'll be more comfortable for my sister-in-law and mother-in-law to live in. Also, I'm married now, so there are only two of us in my family!" Luo Ning pulled out a wad of cash, counted it, and handed it to the auntie.

"Here's six months' rent for both rooms. Please check it out!"

The old woman counted the money and handed the two keys to Luo Ning. Even after Luo Ning left, she was still muttering to herself, "That girl got married at such a young age. I wonder which boy got lucky."

Two hours later, at Zhang Yue's house, Luo Ning, unable to hide her exhaustion, paced back and forth in the room, rubbing her lower back.

Zhang Yue glanced at her sleeping mother-in-law, then her gaze drifted to Luo Ning, and she couldn't help but ask with concern, "Luo Ning, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Luo Ning took in the layout of Zhang Yue's house. The location was bad, and it would flood whenever it rained.

"Sister-in-law, do you still have any money?"

"Yes, how much do you need? I'll get it for you!" Zhang Yue thought Luo Ning wanted to borrow money from her, so she hurriedly rummaged through her bag.

Luo Ning hurriedly reached out Er Kang's hand to forcefully stop her, "Sister-in-law, I have money. What I mean is, if you have money, I'll find you another house!"

Zhang Yue immediately loosened her grip on the bag and shook her head repeatedly, "No need, Luo Ning, we're quite happy living here. My mother-in-law and I have been staying here since we came to Jidu, and we've really grown attached to it!"

Luo Ning lowered his voice like a charlatan, "I can understand how my sister-in-law feels, but think about it carefully, Auntie's illness has been getting worse and worse in recent years, this is because..."
