It was a “separation” and a “stepson”. Her grasp of the key points could be said to be quite good.
Without waiting for Old Madam Ning to speak, this auntie even said as she fanned herself, “That won’t do, right? The matter of your biological son smashing Fengnian’s head hasn’t passed yet.”
Old Madam Ning seemed to have thought of something and stole a glance at the courtyard. When she saw that familiar tall figure turn around, a trace of hope ignited in her heart. However, Ning Fengnian didn’t seem to see her and looked past her.
Old Madam Ning immediately felt embarrassed. “Pfft, do you think you’re so rich to give people these things?”
The villagers couldn’t stand it anymore. “Auntie, I have to stand up for Brother Fengnian. We only started eating this good thing after eating meat until we were full. In the entire Fortune Village, who can come up with a large basin of meat for us helpers to eat?”
“Every piece of braised pork is the size of a child’s fist. There’s a thick brown gravy hanging on it. It’s fresh and sweet in one bite. You don’t even have to use much strength to bite off the meat. When you eat it, you just have to purse your tongue slightly and it will melt. I wonder how Little Girl Ning made it.”
“That bone with sauce is the same. It’s a big bone, but there’s really a lot of meat on it. After gnawing on it, I suck the bone marrow that’s soaked in soup. It’s extremely scrumptious.”
“Auntie, do you see that pile of bones beside us? They’re all ours!”
The person who said this sounded quite proud. Xiaoxiao remembered this person and praised him in her heart.
Old Madam Ning looked in the direction this person was pointing and saw the big dog from the Ning Family hugging a pile of bones. It licked and nibbled on them, letting out satisfied snores from time to time. It was enjoying itself.
Meeting her gaze, the dog bit the pig bone in its mouth and made cracking sounds. Its size and ferocious appearance frightened her so much that she did not dare to move.
The villager praised sincerely, “Even a dog in their family is more outstanding than others. My Big Yellow was about the same age as your Walnut. When he first came, he was even bigger than your brat. Now that the two brats are together, Big Yellow is like a grandson of Walnut.”
Xiaoxiao said humbly, “Our Walnut is a big dog breed. He’s naturally more powerful.” Of course, she wouldn’t mention that she stuffed the dog into her space from time to time.
As Walnut got bigger, the naughtier it became. In the past, it was the only one alive in the space ranch. Recently, when she threw Walnut into the ranch, it immediately fought chickens, chased cows, chased sheep, and chased pigs. Its happy appearance made Xiaoxiao suspect that it was actually a husky in the skin of a mastiff.
In order not to let Walnut tear down the Ning Family, Xiaoxiao specially threatened, “If you behave like this at home, don’t even think about going to the ranch to play in the future!”
It was unknown if it really understood. It was indeed very obedient at home. Other than calling out twice when people it did not know passed by, it was usually quite quiet. It was not picky and ate whatever it was given.
The space said that Walnut was excited because the environment in the space was much better than the outside world. Animals were especially sharp. They were full of energy when they entered. They were full of energy and felt uncomfortable, especially in the pastures and farmlands.
Since it could accelerate the growth of plants and animals, it could naturally give Walnut five times more nutrition and spirit than usual.
Xiaoxiao felt that it was reasonable. She thought that it was rare for Walnut to go in now, and the animals were not affected. Moreover, it would soon become too big at five times the speed, so she let it be.
After entertaining the villagers who helped, Xiaoxiao went to her and Rong Yan’s barren mountain to take a look. The grass that had been planted previously was already green, and the cowshed and sheep pen had been built. They were just waiting for Mrs. Shen to help contact the herdsmen to send the cows and sheep over.
It was agreed that she would be the one to contact the fruit trees on the mountain. Recently, Rong Yan’s situation was special, so she did not take the next step for the time being. However, the tree seeds had been exchanged in the space long ago.
When she bent down to confirm the growth of the grass, Xiaoxiao heard a reminder from the space: [Master, there are ingredients approaching from behind you. I suspect that they don’t have good intentions.]
Xiaoxiao turned around and saw Old Madam Ning screaming in pain when a stranger grabbed her wrist.
“What are you doing, you stinky beggar!”
That person was dressed in rags and did not look very dignified, but he was clean and neat and his back was straight. “I’m not a beggar. In addition, you were plotting to harm someone. I just stopped you in passing.”
Following Old Madam Ning’s hand, Xiaoxiao realized that she was holding a wooden stick.
Her expression instantly turned cold. “Step-Grandma, do you want to hit me?”
If she was used as an ingredient, she would definitely be a poisonous ingredient.
Old Madam Ning was provoked by the “Step-Grandma”. “So what if I hit you? I’m your elder. It’s only right for me to beat you to death. You heartless thing. I wasted so much food to raise you, but now I realize that I actually raised a beast!”
She still wanted to do evil, but the man behind her was holding her tightly. She couldn’t struggle free, so she could only punch and scratch that person. “None of you foreigners are good. If you don’t let go of me, I’ll report you to the village chief and ask him to chase you all away!”
The old lady was really ruthless. There were red marks on the man’s face. He was also a real man. He only frowned from the beginning to the end and did not even snort. Instead, he said to Xiaoxiao, “Young lady, run first. I’ll let her go when you’re far away.”
It was obvious that this person did not know Xiaoxiao and she did not know this person. She responded and really ran away. However, after going around a few trees, she flashed into the space and used the spatial exit positioning function to move to the hiding place closest to them.
Seeing that Xiaoxiao was gone, the man really let go of Old Madam Ning. The old woman scolded him for a long time before asking, “Are you a pauper who was instructed by Ning Fengnian’s family to deliberately cause trouble for me?” The man asked inexplicably, “Who’s Ning Fengnian?”
Old Madam Ning spat at him. “Pfft, if you really don’t know him, why would you help that bastard?”
The man dodged and could not be bothered with this uneducated and disgusting old woman.
Old Madam Ning was a classic All-Mouthy King who bullied the weak and feared the strong. She dared to scold and make a scene, but she didn’t have the guts to really provoke such a tall and strong man. If she forced him into a corner and he beat her up, she wouldn’t be able to reason with him. She could only spit a few times and leave angrily.
Xiaoxiao looked at Old Madam Ning and then at the unfamiliar man. She decisively chose to follow the old woman.
Taking advantage of the fact that most people were not around, Old Madam Ning ran to the farmland. The more she looked at Fengnian’s land, the angrier she became. No, to be precise, she was jealous.
If they had not split up, these grains would have been hers. She only needed to let the eldest branch drink some chaff and they would obediently serve her like cows and horses. She did not have to wash clothes, cook, wash the dishes, or feed the chickens and clean the courtyard. She would be the one living in that luxurious building, and eating meat and white rice every meal.
There was no one around. Old Madam Ning sneakily took out a fire lighter from her sleeve..
