Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 6: Men mislead people

There was half a container of white rice in the rice jar, along with white flour, a bag of corn, and a bag of millet.

The dish rack was filled with newly purchased pots, pans, chopsticks, cooking oil, eggs, seasonings, matches, and other items. There was also firewood in front of the stove, and even the water tank was full of water.

The original owner's parents must have given her all their savings, fearing she would be mistreated in her husband's family. They spent money to build her a house outside and prepared so many things so she could cook at any time.

Although she wouldn't suffer any losses in her husband's family, the love and care from her parents, a kind of affection she had never experienced in her previous life, deeply moved Luo Ning.

Luo Ning sniffed, and as the footsteps faded into the distance, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Apart from Xie Chang'an, everyone in the Xie family is exceptional, yet Xie Chang'an is someone else's type, and they despise her in every way.

However, she was pleasantly surprised and comforted to have such warm-hearted family members.

The most urgent thing now is to fill their stomachs, so Luo Ning scooped up some cornmeal with a ladle, intending to make pancakes.

She put half of the corn in a large pot, added three ladles of water, covered the pot, set up firewood, cooked it until done, drained it, mixed it with the other half of the corn, poured it into a stone mill to grind it into a paste, added water and eggs, mixed it well, and put it on the stove.

Then, carrying an empty vegetable basket and a cleaver, and slung a hoe over his shoulder, he entered the space and swiftly slaughtered a pig.

Having frequently ventured into primeval forests, her survival skills were truly exceptional.

Singing chicken feathers, gutting pigs, frying, boiling, cooking, brewing wine and making tea—there's nothing she can't do, only things you can't imagine.

Luo Ning put the pork into the natural freezer and faintly heard footsteps, but when she listened carefully, she heard nothing.

She shook her head, put her things away, and went to tend to the ripe vegetables and fruits in the field.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Ning, supporting her lower back and looking exhausted, gazed at the warehouse piled high with grains, vegetables, and fruits, feeling quite pleased with herself.

She rested for a while, munching on a big apple, and as she was about to leave with her full shopping basket, she noticed a closed door not far away. But it was getting late, and she didn't dare to linger any longer.

Luo Ning only took out two or three days' worth of food, fearing it would arouse suspicion and expose the space.

After she finished stewing the soybean and pig's trotter soup, made pancake rolls with vegetables, stir-fried pork slices, stir-fried a plate of greens, and cooked a pot of rice, she picked up a pancake and took a bite. Xie Chang'an then pushed open the door and came in.

Luo Ning immediately put down the pancake, wiped her mouth, and glanced at the mud stains on Xie Chang'an's trouser legs. He must have gone to work again this morning. It was really too much for the old lady to make things so difficult for him during the New Year. She was such a drama queen. "You're back just in time. Go wash your hands and I'll serve you some rice."

As Luo Ning served rice, she secretly thought to herself, "Xie Chang'an didn't even have lunch while working in the fields. The old lady is so stingy."

Luo Ning has revealed the truth!

The old lady was so angry with Luo Ning that she was about to die, and since she hadn't received Xie Chang'an's guarantee that Luo Ning wouldn't accompany the army, she lay in bed and refused to eat lunch.

Even during the Lunar New Year, they couldn't even get a meal. Xie Changtai and the others were filled with hatred for Luo Ning.

Xie Chang'an stepped into the kitchen in a daze. He had thought the aroma was coming from his neighbor's house, but he didn't expect it to be from here.

When he came out, there was a bowl of fragrant pig's trotter soup next to his rice bowl. Red dates and soybeans were mixed in with the pig's trotters, and green scallions were sprinkled on top. The smell alone was enough to make one's mouth water and whet one's appetite.

Xie Chang'an stared at the rice, not touching his chopsticks for a long time.

After returning home from military service, he had never eaten white rice. He was only able to eat pancakes this year thanks to Luo Ning. Xie Chang'an sighed with emotion.

Where did you go this morning?

"Cough cough!" Xie Chang'an's sudden remark caused Luo Ning, who was holding rice in her mouth and feeling flustered, to choke.

She could handle any situation with ease, but when facing Xie Chang'an, she could never stay calm, it was just infuriating.

Luo Ning coughed until her face turned red, her mind racing. It turned out that the footsteps she heard in the space were Xie Chang'an's.

"I went to my mom's and got some pig's trotters!"

Xie Chang'an nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat.

He had just seen Luo Ning's mother standing on the road, gazing in the direction of his house for a while, before leaving with a worried expression.

This woman lies so easily, Xie Chang'an frowned slightly.

Luo Ning eagerly handed over a pancake, smiling obsequiously, his nose and eyes all squeezed together, looking incredibly ugly, "This is what I tried to make, you should try it."

Xie Chang'an glanced at her, took the pancake, and couldn't stop after taking a bite. He ate three pancakes, stir-fried pork slices and vegetables, and most of the pig's trotter soup.

Luo Ning wanted to lose weight, so she only ate a pancake and a little bit of vegetables and rice. Poor thing.

Xie Chang'an put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, but a grumbling crept into his mind.

He didn't know Luo Ning well; his impression of her was that of a wild girl with two long braids, dressed in brand-new clothes, who ran around the village and liked to fight.

After joining the army, he rarely went home and never saw Luo Ning again.

Last night, he learned from his childhood friend that Luo Ning was lazy and greedy, only eighteen years old this year, ten years younger than him, and completely clueless about social etiquette...

Even at this age, she still needs her mother to bathe and comb her hair. If her mother doesn't help, she gets dirty and runs around with her hair down.

She had never been to the kitchen and didn't even know how to boil water. Because her family was well-off, the village chief and his wife spoiled her and she never stopped eating all day long, which is why she became so fat.

But what he saw was different. Putting everything else aside, even he, who had seen a lot of the world, found the food impeccable.

Although it was a home-style dish, it tasted better than anything he had ever tasted before, and even chefs in big restaurants couldn't make it.

And her behavior at the old house this morning didn't seem like that of a country girl who never leaves the house. She was very familiar with military affairs and seemed to know about the law. She ate without making a sound.

Even though she had attended high school, she couldn't possibly know anything about the military. The more Xie Chang'an got to know her, the more he realized that Luo Ning was a mystery.

"Um, about the matter of going with the army this morning..." Luo Ning looked at Xie Chang'an, who was thinking with his head down and whose expression was uncertain, and murmured softly, "I, I was just saying it casually. I didn't mean to go with the army. Don't feel guilty."

Xie Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked up, only to see a figure hurriedly fleeing, whose size was impossible to ignore.

Luo Ning grabbed the bowl and fled; it was too dangerous for a lone man and woman to be alone in a room.

Her uncontrollable heart was pounding wildly; male beauty is a trap, male beauty is a trap!

Luo Ning, wake up! You're so ugly, yet you're still drooling over men. Take a good look at your face! You're supposed to lose weight, get rich, and reach the pinnacle of life, don't be tempted by the men in front of you.

Well, after the verbal battle this morning, Luo Ning became even more determined to get rich, and in view of the current situation, she devised a plan to play hard to get with Xie Chang'an.

Since fate has chosen Xie Chang'an for her, he is her first choice. As for what will happen in the future, who knows?

Luo Ning hummed a tune happily as she washed the dishes, completely unaware that Xie Chang'an, with a dark expression, was staring at the kitchen door.

The woman was avoiding him.

Although this was what he hoped for, he felt uncomfortable when it actually happened.

Luo Ning finished washing the dishes and went out to cause trouble, completely ignoring Xie Chang'an who was sitting in the chair. With a dark face, he chased after her as if possessed.
