Chapter 178: Why Didn’t You Say It Earlier?

Xiaoxiao was not angry. “Grandma, you’re wrong. Now, Dad, Mom, and Brothers all say that I’m the best at earning money in the entire family. I’m the little God of Fortune.”

Old Madam Ning was refuted and couldn’t be bothered to say anything else. She only glanced at Second Uncle Ning and then at the people from the eldest branch. “Did you bring the silver?”

Ning Fengnian did not hesitate. He gritted his teeth and said, “Mother, Second Sister-in-law’s injuries have nothing to do with us.”

Xiaoxiao was very gratified. Her father was no longer the obedient and honest person who let the old residence do whatever they wanted.

Old Madam Ning was also stunned for a moment before she flew into a rage. “Alright, Ning Fengnian, are you going to be an ingrate now? If 1 hadn’t saved Fengcai’s milk to feed you back then…”

Madam Song also straightened her back and said loudly, “Mother, this matter has already been let go. You promised yourself that you wouldn’t mention it again! Second Sister-in-law’s injury couldn’t have been bitten by Walnut!”

If it weren’t for the fact that the occasion wasn’t right, Xiaoxiao would have applauded and laughed three times. So what if the old residence was pestering them? As long as her family was united, she was confident that her future would be bright. Now that her parents had stood up for what was right, what was there to worry about?

Old Madam Ning suffered consecutive setbacks, and her facial features were about to twist. “Bullsh*t! The evidence is right in front of you. How dare you deny it?”

Second Uncle Ning also pulled a long face. “Brother, look at how painful your sister-in-law is. She only went to your house yesterday. The moment she returned, the village chief asked her to stay at home and not go out. Tell me with your conscience that this injury wasn’t caused by the beast you raised. Who else could it be? Are you going to watch your sister-in-law die because of you?”

Xiaoxiao really admired his boldness to curse his wife and child just for money, but they definitely did not have money. They would not give it to him even if they threw it away.

She hugged the Walnut and deliberately asked in confusion, “But Second Uncle, Second Aunt’s injury doesn’t look like a bite mark. It looks more like…”

At this moment, Xiaoxiao saw an unfamiliar young master in white walk to Second Aunt Ning’s side. He stared at her wound and reached out to press it. Then, he took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve and planned to apply the medicine.

Second Uncle Ning couldn’t take it anymore. “Who are you? What do you want to do to my wife?”

The young master in white didn’t like to talk. Xiaoxiao guessed, “He probably plans to treat Second Aunt’s injuries.”

Second Uncle Ning looked at the young master in white’s young face and immediately mocked, “Where did this immature brat come from? He’s not even grown up yet and he’s pretending to be a doctor?”

Li Muyan smiled evilly while Gongsun Zhongjing held the medicine bottle. “Her wound has rust. If we don’t clean it…”

Second Uncle Ning interrupted him guiltily. “What rust? What nonsense are you talking about? How can there be rust where the dog bit her?!”

Gongsun Zhongjing was not a patient person to begin with. Usually, it was always others begging him to see a doctor. He only planned to help because of his instincts when he saw the injured person. Seeing that Second Uncle Ning did not know what was good for him, he simply flicked his sleeve and did not speak.

On the other hand, Xiaoxiao reminded him humanitarianly, “Second Uncle, you should listen to her. Second Aunt’s injuries will become serious if they’re not treated properly, especially since she’s pregnant.”

Although she hated Second Aunt, she did not want the little life in her stomach to be implicated. If her wound was caused by rusty iron and was not treated properly, it was very likely that she would have tetanus.

Gongsun Zhongjing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Second Aunt Ning’s pulse.

Li Muyan opened his fan and leaned towards him. “If you want to treat her, treat her.”

Gongsun Zhongjing snorted, and Li Muyan scolded him. “You’re so prideful.”

Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat. The way she looked at the two of them gradually became vulgar… All no, it was with interest.

Seeing that the young master in white had looked at Second Aunt Ning, who was lying weakly on the bed, a few times, she coughed lightly. “Doctor, my Second Uncle is a blind and ungrateful person. A dark and shameless person like him can’t understand your kindness as a doctor.”

Gongsun Zhongjing’s face was still cold. He thought that this family member would definitely ask him to be magnanimous. Hmph, why should he?

Then, he heard Xiaoxiao say, “It’s only right for you to be angry with him. Don’t forgive him.”

Li Muyan stopped fanning himself. He was a little surprised, but when he thought of the matter between the Ning Family’s eldest branch and the old residence, he understood. Their relationship was already at odds. It was human nature for her to do this. After all, not everyone was willing to be a fool who repay evil with kindness.

However, Xiaoxiao changed the topic. “But your kindness shouldn’t be let down. May I trouble you to give us a prescription?”

Li Muyan watched in disbelief as this bad-tempered fellow, who had been pestered by him for months, really reached out and placed his hand on the patient’s wrist. At the same time, he said, “Brush and paper.”

Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and went to the kitchen stove with ease to take a piece of black wood and sharpen it. Then, she tore off a corner of Second Aunt Ning’s clothes. “We only have this. Can you use it?”

Gongsun Zhongjing was in a difficult position. Seeing this, Xiaoxiao asked again, “Then tell me. 1’11 write it?”

Second Uncle Ning wanted to stop them, but Yun Yi and the others stood in a row with their arms crossed. He couldn’t squeeze through at all and could only bark helplessly. “Let me tell you, the evidence is irrefutable. Don’t think of doing anything! Liu Cuihua, are you stupid? Hurry up and kick her away!”

Liu Cuihua was Second Aunt Ning’s real name, but Second Uncle had not called her that for a long time. He only knew how to call her “Hey”, “Yo”, “you b*tch”.

Second Aunt Ning was stunned for a moment. Just as she was hesitating if she should do as she was told, she saw Xiaoxiao, who was recording the prescription, look up at her. “Second Aunt, you have to think carefully. Second Uncle is hurting you for his own benefit, but this doctor is saving you… and the child in your stomach.”

Xiaoxiao didn’t keep the prescription for herself after she finished writing it. Instead, she stuffed it into Second Aunt Ning’s palm. “Second Aunt, if you want to live well with the child, accept it.”

Second Aunt Ning opened her swollen eyelids with difficulty. Her heart was filled with complicated emotions, but with a move of her fingers, she really gripped the prescription tightly. No matter what, she knew how to cherish her life.

Second Uncle Ning shouted, “Don’t do those useless things! Hurry up and pay up. Beat that biting beast to death next!”

Xiaoxiao chuckled. She took the Walnut from Second Brother and walked a few steps to Second Uncle Ning. Second Uncle Ning shuddered and screamed as he retreated, scaring the dog.

Xiaoxiao hurriedly patted the Walnut to comfort it.

Second Uncle Ning pointed at her and scolded, “You brat, what are you trying to do?! Did you let this beast bite your Second Aunt and now you want to harm me?”

Xiaoxiao sighed. She did not expect Second Uncle to understand her with his stupidity. She raised the little Walnut high. “Second Uncle, did you see that? My Walnut has yet to grow teeth. It’s not the match when it comes to biting people.”

She was different from what Li Muyan had imagined. This was the first time he had seen someone retort calmly while secretly mocking the other party for being a beast.

From the corner of his eye, Li Muyan saw Shen Tianci’s excited expression. He wanted to take a pen and paper to record it. Li Muyan suddenly knew the reason for his cousin’s change in eloquence.

Second Uncle Ning really hadn’t expected this. Seeing that this dog was big, he thought that it must be an adult dog.. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
