Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 43 You'll Meet Me After Walking in the Dark

Today is the day Luo Baiwan is discharged from the hospital.

Luo Ning's two uncles drove a horse-drawn carriage to his door, giving Luo Ning a ride to the town's health center to pick up Luo Baiwan.

Her uncles helped her solve a big problem. Luo Ning sat in the carriage, her nose red from the cold, but her heart was inexplicably warm.

Her father has been hospitalized for almost ten days, and her two uncles have visited him several times, each time bringing a lot of food.

As for the Luo family, not a single person was seen, let alone anything.

Her older cousin was worried that she would be bullied, so he came over himself to act as her guardian spirit.

Luo Ning's heart immediately tipped in favor of her uncle's family.

Luo Ning has a good uncle and aunts, and she has a plan in mind, but she has to wait for a detailed investigation before she can implement it.

Having connections at the hospital makes things easier. Mingjun has already completed the discharge procedures, and Liu Aihong has packed her things.

Luo Ning picked up the elated Luo Baiwan and Liu Aihong and headed straight home.

Mingjun stood on the steps and watched the carriage disappear into the distance before entering the hospital.

He sighed inwardly. His master had left so heartlessly, without even looking back at him.

For Luo Ning, hospitals and prisons are the same thing; there's no going back.

The emperor clearly didn't get her point and was extremely saddened.

His master said he was ready to graduate after only a week of instruction, and he had a feeling that she was lying to him.

He should go check on the destroyed murder weapon first, and while he's at it, think about how he can continue learning from his master...

Luo Ning and his entourage entered the village, attracting many children who chased after the horse-drawn carriage.

People would occasionally peek out along the way, only to quickly retreat back inside.

Now that Luo Ning has accumulated too much influence, everyone is somewhat afraid of her, and consequently dislikes the Luo family.

Luo Baiwan felt a chill in his heart. Over the years, he had done countless things for the village, but now that he was in trouble, he received nothing in return…

"Dad—" Luo Ning keenly sensed Luo Baiwan's emotional change and looked at him with some worry.

"Da Ya, I'm fine!" Luo Baiwan forced a smile. This illness had brought him a daughter who had undergone a complete transformation. He was very happy and gratified. The people outside didn't matter.

Liu Aiguo and Liu Aijia exchanged a glance, genuinely happy for their younger sister and brother-in-law.

When the carriage passed by the driver's house, Luo Ning was shocked to see the carriage parked in their stable. From then on, Luo Ning listed this family as a household he refused to associate with.

The carriage quickly stopped in front of the Luo family's house, and Luo Ning jumped out of the carriage.

Wang Tiejun and Zheng Xiue, whose faces were red from the cold, had been waiting at the door for a long time. They stepped forward and said, "Uncle, Aunt, you're back!"

Luo Baiwan's icy heart instantly began to warm up, and he hurriedly called out, "Da Ya's mother, open the door quickly and let Tie Jun and his wife come in and warm up!"

"No rush, we're not cold! Uncle, take it easy!" Wang Tiejun reached out to help Luo Baiwan.

Luo Baiwan got off the carriage and stood at his doorstep, unable to contain his emotions.

Staying in the hospital for these past few days was such a waste of money; it made my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys ache, and my butt felt like it was on fire. I feel so much better now that I'm home.

Zheng Xiu'e helped Liu Aihong down and complained to Luo Ning, "I specially asked Tie Jun to get up early this morning to help you pick up your uncle and aunt in town, but I didn't expect you to leave so early! We came to help out today because we were busy at home."

"Brother and sister-in-law, you're so kind! Let's have a meal together later." Luo Ning felt a warmth in his heart and casually started unloading things from the carriage.

"Hey!" Zheng Xiu'e took a large ladle from the carriage and put it on the ground. Luo Ning had already discussed the meal with them, and she and Tie Jun had readily agreed.

Tie Jun said they should interact more with the Luo family and help them out if they can, and she thought so too.

Company Commander Xie had helped Tie Jun so much in the past, so their help to the Luo family now was a way of repaying Company Commander Xie's kindness.

Everyone was busy moving things when a sudden, abrupt sound shattered the peace and harmony at Luo Ning's doorstep.

"Hey, isn't this our village chief back!"

Ah--

"You've finally come out after hiding behind the door for so long! That sarcastic tone tells you you're up to no good."

Luo Ning stood in front of Luo Baiwan, fearing that her father might get agitated and vomit blood again, which would make all her hard work over the past few days pointless.

Luo Ning saw that the door was already open and her mother was carrying things inside.

She turned to her two uncles, whose expressions were unfriendly and wary, and pleaded, "Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, please help my dad inside first!"

Liu Aiguo and Liu Aijia exchanged a glance, somewhat uneasy.

Luo Ning gave them a look that said, "Don't worry, I can handle it," and only then did the Liu Aiguo brothers help Luo Baiwan inside, one on each side.

Zhang Wanhua looked at Luo Baiwan, who had difficulty moving, her eyes gleaming, "Village Chief, what's going on—"

"Auntie, just get to the point!" Luo Ning was too lazy to listen to her nonsense and went straight to the point.

Zhang Wanhua was surprised that things went so smoothly, and she smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum. "Luoning, I heard you bought a lot of things yesterday. Don't you think you should return the ten catties of corn that your family borrowed from me? It's been a year!"

"It's only been a few days and it's already been a year? How can this woman be so good at spreading lies!" Zheng Xiu'e's face turned somewhat ugly.

Fearing her daughter would suffer, Liu Aihong hurriedly came out, and upon hearing Zhang Wanhua's words, she was so angry she almost fell over.

Seeing Liu Aihong's anxious look, Luo Ning sighed inexplicably, "She's truly my mother." "Mom, go weigh out ten jin of corn to return to Auntie!"

"Okay!" Liu Aihong obeyed Luo Ning's every word. It was good to return the grain and settle things once and for all. She never wanted to have anything to do with Zhang Wanhua again in her life.

Liu Aihong weighed out ten jin of corn and handed it to Zhang Wanhua, saying, "Here you go, we're even now!"

Zhang Wanhua snatched the rice bag and held it in her arms like a treasure. "Auntie, Luo Ning, I have so many people to feed in my family, I have no choice. You won't be angry with me, right?"

Liu Aihong kept a straight face and didn't say anything.

Luo Ning smiled and nodded, "It's only right to return what you owe. Auntie did nothing wrong, so why are we angry!"

You ruined my wine, blocking my door on the special day my dad was discharged from the hospital. Zhang Wanhua, you better watch out, or you'll run into me on your way home!

Zhang Wanhua didn't care about Liu Aihong's attitude at all; to be precise, she looked down on that fool Liu Aihong. "Luoning is so sensible. Hearing you say that, I feel relieved. That turning back..."

"Go back to your sister!" Luo Ning interrupted Zhang Wanhua, "Auntie, my father needs to rest, so let's skip the guests!"

"Yes, that makes sense!" Zhang Wanhua nodded sheepishly.

"Thank you for your understanding, Auntie! Also, please help me tell the people in the village that anyone who lent my family anything should come to my new house in three days, and I will return it to them!" Seeing Zhang Wanhua's constipated face, Luo Ning was very happy.

Luo Ning could guess Zhang Wanhua's little scheme even with her own eyes closed. She didn't have the saintly heart to help Zhang Wanhua and directly shut Zhang Wanhua down.

"Okay, I'll take care of it!" Zhang Wanhua smiled and gave her a guarantee, but in her heart she was cursing her out. If she hadn't been begging this little harlot, she wouldn't have run errands for her.

Luo Ning understood this point, which is why he made his demands with absolute confidence.

After Luo Ning and Zheng Xiu'e picked up the remaining items and went inside, Liu Aihong slammed the door shut and turned to enter the courtyard.

"Pah! What a load of rubbish!" Zhang Wanhua spat, then happily carried the corn home, planning to go find that little whore Luo Ning later.
