Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 38 Let the tiger return to the mountain

Early in the morning, Luo Ning got up and made a sumptuous breakfast: chive pancakes, scrambled eggs, millet porridge, and a big pot of meat buns.

Liu Chunsheng rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining with excitement. His cousin's kindness made him a little uneasy.

He knew perfectly well what the situation was like in his uncle's family.

"Big cousin, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to follow me? Don't feel guilty, eat and drink as you please!" Luo Ning picked up a meat bun and stuffed it into his hand. "Try it and see if it's as good as Auntie's!"

"Yes!" Liu Chunsheng nodded happily and took a bite of the steamed bun.

His words yesterday were not a joke. After listening to Luo Ning's analysis of the future, the times, and the market, he had secretly decided to follow her.

How come he never noticed how talented his older cousin was before?

And it's the first time I've ever seen someone change so much just by getting married!

"These steamed buns smell amazing!" Liu Chunsheng's eyes lit up with excitement, and he mumbled, "Mmm...so delicious!"

Luo Ning's eyebrows curved into a smile, a hint of melancholy in her heart.

She promised to make steamed buns for Xie Chang'an, but she didn't know when she would have the chance.

Xie Chang'an has a white moonlight in his heart; perhaps it's not her turn.

The steamed buns were clearly fragrant and soft, but Luo Ning tasted a bitter flavor in them.

After the meal, Luo Ning and Liu Chunsheng parted ways at the intersection.

Luo Ning finished her work at the town hospital at 11 p.m.

She pushed open the door and went inside, seeing Luo Jing sitting listlessly on the bed, scratching her hair and picking at her nails...

Liu Aihong picked up a thick coat and wrung it out with difficulty. When she saw Luo Ning return, she smiled at her and said, "Da Ya, sit down and rest for a while. You've been busy all morning!"

Luo Ning went over and washed her hands in the basin, wrung out Liu Aihong's clothes and hung them up, then gave Luo Jing, who was sitting on the bed picking at the wall, a cold look. "I've already completed the discharge procedures. You get the hell out of here and go home now!"

Luo Jing was overjoyed, finally free from jail. She jumped off the bed and rushed outside.

Luo Ning's cold voice suddenly rang out from behind, "Before Dad is discharged from the hospital, you must chop all the firewood in the yard!"

"Go ahead and chop me!" Luo Jing snorted and ran away in a flash.

As long as she could go home, take a walk around the village, and let everyone see her new cotton-padded coat, she would be willing to do anything, even eat excrement, let alone chop firewood.

Luo Baiwan and Liu Aihong remained silent, but both looked at Luo Ning with deep concern.

No one knows Luo Jing's personality better than them.

Letting it go home is like releasing a tiger back into the mountains; it will bring endless trouble.

"Da Ya, do you think Luo Jing can chop wood?" Luo Baiwan, who had begun to rely on Luo Ning as his pillar of support, asked subconsciously.

"No!" Luo Ning shook her head and shrugged helplessly. "She doesn't do anything here, and Mom has to keep an eye on her. It's exhausting. It's better to let her go back. Staying in the hospital is a waste of money!"

That makes sense! Luo Baiwan nodded.

Liu Aihong said with some worry, "Da Ya, what about Luo Jing's illness..."

She's still her own mother! Luo Ning concluded, "Once Dad is discharged, I'll get her a prescription to regulate her body for a while, and then she can take a medicinal bath, and that should be about it!"

After returning to the village, Luo Jing didn't even go home. Chopping firewood? No way.

She received countless envious glances along the way; she was so beautiful she was practically snotting.

Luo Jing skipped and hopped to the back mountain, knowing that Jian Yin was gathering firewood there at this time.

Before long, she found Jian Yin and discovered that her basket was almost full. "Hey, A-Yin, you're quick today!"

Jian Yin looked up at her, but didn't stop what she was doing.

That short-lived morning, she urinated so much that her quilt was soaked, making it impossible for her to sleep. So she went up the mountain early to collect firewood.

Why is Luo Jing, that idiot, so lucky? She gets new clothes without having to do anything.

She's like a spinning top every day, finishing her own work and then going out to help others.

And that idiot Luo Ning isn't stupid anymore; he's screwed himself over badly. All his previous efforts to help others were for nothing. Damn it!

Now, the villagers no longer have the same enthusiasm for her as before; they all despise her.

She accidentally capsized in a ditch, and she's determined to get revenge!

She was determined to let everyone know that Luo Ning knew medicine, and once she exposed Luo Ning's lies, she would see how she could still try to deny it.

"Ah Yin, do you think my cotton-padded jacket is pretty?" Luo Jing excitedly twirled around in front of Jian Yin, forcibly sharing her joy.

Jian Yin had already noticed that the stitching was a bit off, and subconsciously probed, "It's beautiful, but it looks like it was altered from your sister's wedding dress?"

Luo Jing's smile suddenly froze a little.

"Your sister always wears new clothes, your parents are so good to her!" Jian Yin said with envy as she walked out carrying her basket.

"Jingjing, it's cold outside. Even though you're dressed warmly, you won't be able to stay warm for long. Come back with me!"

Having achieved her goal of sowing discord, she no longer wanted to deal with that idiot Luo Jing.

Moreover, she has to go somewhere later.

Luo Ning, I hate you! If it weren't for you, Mom and Dad would be able to see me. Luo Jing grabbed a blade of grass as if she were dismembering Luo Ning.

Ah Yin is still the best to her! Only she cares about her!

What a close call! She was almost fooled by Luo Ning's feigned affection. Luo Jing followed Jian Yin down the mountain step by step.

Luo Ning returned to the village, but did not go back to the Luo family home.

She didn't go back to her own home, but instead carried her things to the west end of the village, to her seventh uncle's house.

Luo Hai helped her yesterday, so she should reciprocate by visiting him.

Seventh Uncle had just finished eating and looked at her with some surprise. "Luo Ning, what brings you here?"

"Seventh Uncle, I've come to see you! I wish you a belated Happy New Year!" Luo Ning placed the things she was carrying on the table. These were pastries, candies, and white sugar noodles that she had bought at the supply and marketing cooperative. They were all very ordinary gifts, but still presentable.

"Hey, you little rascal, you came all this way, why did you bring anything!" Uncle Qi said with a reproachful look, but he was very happy inside. Luo Ning had changed a lot since she got married. From observing her recent events, he realized that she was likely to have a bright future.

"Of course! I've been wanting to visit you for a while now. I just managed to find some time, so I came over right after dinner!" Luo Ning said with a smile, glancing around the room and spotting celery in the main hall!

There's still celery in the house this season, wow, my seventh uncle!

Seventh Uncle, with his sharp eyes, noticed Luo Ning's gaze and immediately instructed his wife, "Wife, go and get some celery for Luo Ning to take back and try!"

"Oh!" Aunt Qi was happy to exchange Luo Ning's many gifts for some cheap celery.

"I really like this kind of food, thank you very much, Uncle and Aunt!" Luo Ning did not refuse.

She brought gifts when she visited, and if he didn't accept something in return, Uncle Qi would definitely feel uncomfortable. People in this era are very simple and honest.

"This girl is so unconventional!" Aunt Qi chuckled as she went off to do her work.

After Uncle Qi inquired about Luo Baiwan's illness and Luo Ning expressed concern about the addition of a new member to Uncle Qi's family, Uncle Qi took the initiative to ask about it.

Luo Ning suddenly leaned closer to Seventh Uncle and lowered his voice.
