Chapter 130: Where’s My Silver?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Second Aunt Ning was furious. “Alright, so that’s what you’re up to. Let me tell you, don’t even think about it! You shameless…”

As she scolded, she did not delay in snatching the basket from Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao was also “weak” in strength. After pulling it a few times, Second Aunt Ning got her way and immediately ran away crying.

Second Aunt Ning was about to enjoy the delicacies when she saw a shiny piece of silver fall from Xiaoxiao’s sleeve when she ran away!

She couldn’t be bothered to eat anymore and chased after her with the basket. She even specially didn’t say a word, afraid that Xiaoxiao would find out. She couldn’t bear to leave if she couldn’t find it.

Xiaoxiao, who was originally running forward, stopped in her tracks. She rubbed her face and took out the onions she had prepared from her space. Soon, she ran away crying. When she encountered a kind-hearted villager asking, she complained nimbly, “Second Aunt snatched the lunch 1 brought for Father, Mother, and Brother and even wanted to hit me!”

The villagers couldn’t stand it anymore. They brought the “pitiful” little girl to her Second Aunt to reason with her.

Ever since Second Aunt Ning had a baby, she was hungry and craving food very quickly. After searching for a while, she felt tired and wanted to eat a few mouthfuls to replenish her strength. Unexpectedly, when she opened the basket, there was no roasted chicken or meat pie inside. It was actually a basket of leftover chicken bones!

Second Aunt Ning cursed fiercely on the spot. Suddenly, she saw four to five villagers return with Ning Xiaoxiao.

“Second Aunt, you’re too much. It hasn’t been long since you caused trouble at your brother’s house last time, but you actually have the cheek to snatch their food today?”

“That’s right. Not to mention that you’ve already split up, even if you didn’t split up, you shouldn’t bully your own family like this.”

“If you continue like this, we’re going to look for the village chief and junior officer to reason with you!”

Second Aunt Ning was still in a state of shock. Xiaoxiao suppressed her laughter and strode forward to open the basket. She asked in shock, “Second Aunt, you ate too quickly.”

Second Aunt Ning scolded, “Bullsh*t. What you gave me was a basket of bones!”

Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Second Aunt, what are you talking about? If this is a basket of bones, why did you snatch it?”

Second Aunt Ning was speechless. She had clearly seen a chicken earlier. Who knew why it had suddenly become chicken bones? Could it be that even her eyesight had worsened after she was pregnant?

The villagers only felt that the second daughter-in-law of the Ning Family’s old residence was getting more and more outrageous. Not only was she snatching food from her niece, but she even lied to cover it up! How embarrassing!

Of course, Xiaoxiao did not go through so much trouble just to destroy Second Aunt Ning’s reputation. While everyone was muttering and criticizing Second Aunt Ning, Xiaoxiao bent down and whispered when she passed by her, “Strange, where’s my money?”

Second Aunt Ning’s heart skipped a beat and she secretly moved in Xiaoxiao’s direction.

Xiaoxiao looked at the surrounding grass and continued to mutter softly, “It wasn’t easy for me to save it. It’s more than four taels. I can’t lose it…”

The crowd quickly dispersed. They were all people with work to do, so how could they be as idle as Second Aunt Ning? Even Xiaoxiao had to go home and prepare lunch for her family again. However, she looked back three times with an anxious expression.

Second Aunt Ning made up her mind and slipped over under the moonlight that night.

She had been paying attention at noon. No one came to this remote place, and Ning Xiaoxiao had to go back empty-handed, so the money must still be there!

She had come prepared this time. She had already brought the lighter. She would slip back as soon as she found the silver.

The plan was very good, but just as she was about to blow on the lighter, a pool of water splashed out of nowhere and drenched her and the lighter.

The night in ancient times was not like modern times. There were no street lamps and headlights, and they were far away from the village in the small forest. Only a gust of wind covered the moon, and everything was basically pitch-black.

Second Aunt Ning was flustered and vaguely saw something swaying on the tree. She screamed in fear, “Ghost!” In her panic, she stepped into the simple beast trap that Xiaoxiao had prepared and cried out in pain.

Xiaoxiao, who was hiding behind the tree, did not feel guilty when she heard her screams..
