Chapter 13 Deflated

Seeing the official, not only the Wang family, but also the old Gu family were shocked.

Even outsiders watching the show were so surprised that they couldn't even open their mouths.

It was a good thing, so I quickly went to invite Li Zheng.

These days, people in a village are all dealing with things right away, and there are always troubles that go to the officials.

When it comes to meeting an official, it must be something big like someone's death.

Everyone panicked.

Several children were so frightened that they ran behind Tang Ningning and grabbed her tightly.

"You evil woman, I'll beat you to death." Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that the wrinkles on her face were twisted together.

The broom thrown towards her was easily dodged by Tang Ningning. She looked at Mrs. Gu coldly, her eyes cold and filled with murderous intent.

The latter was so frightened that he stumbled back.

Why has this little brat become so terrifying now?

Mrs. Gu was so angry that she was shaking a little.

"You saw me stealing with that eye. Who, who saw me entering your house? Stand up and let me take a look." Wang received the signal from her father-in-law and cursed loudly.

No one stood up.

At this time, a child stood up somewhat cautiously, with a hint of fear in his eyes and a trembling voice, "I--I saw Aunt Gu beating Xiaosi."

He is Zhou Shanyou, the son of Widow Luo. He is thin and small, about eight or nine years old.

He was dragged over by the children in the village to watch the play.

My mother said that I should be an honest and kind child.

This morning, his mother went to the market to sell eggs. He was playing in front of his house and saw Aunt Gu running out of Brother Han's house. Xiaosi was dragged by her. It was Brother Han who ran out and took her away.

The body is also decorated with colors.

He was frightened and did not dare to come forward.

"How can you take what a child says seriously?" Mrs. Gu sneered.

Wang quickly responded, "That's right, Tang Ningning, if you charge me with this, I'm not done with you."

"I didn't lie, I told the truth."

The child was anxious, thinking that the adults did not believe what he said, so he quickly clarified.

"You little brat, shut up."

Tang Ningning was about to speak when she saw Mrs. Gu scolding someone.

Suddenly, a chubby little man, about ten years old, ran out of the left wing with an impatient look on his face. He was gnawing a chicken leg in his hand and yelled with a greasy mouth, "Mom, what are you arguing about? Why don't you give in?"

It’s time for people to eat.”

The evidence is conclusive, it’s the chicken legs she braised.

Wang's face turned pale.

This little ancestor had done her a disservice.

"Hey, isn't this their braised chicken? Can your family make such delicious braised chicken?" At this time, at the door, a woman dressed in plain clothes but with a look that was not easy to mess with came in.

"Mother." Zhou Shanyou hurriedly ran over.

Tang Ningning smiled slightly, it was Luo Qiulan.

"I went to the market today and saw Lao Er's shop selling braised meat. Everyone in the town knows it, and Uncle Wu also knows it. Is it obvious that these are chicken legs?" Luo Qiulan is very talkative.

Also, if you are a widow, if you are not strong, you will be bullied.

"You're talking nonsense. I made these chicken legs for my child, so how come they belong to the second child's family? Also, who doesn't know that you and Tang, a bitch, are the same as each other? I'm sure they're here to trick us."

Although Mrs. Gu hated Wang's style, she hated Tang Ningning even more.

As soon as these words came out, the theatergoers suppressed their laughter.

This old lady Gu can really tell lies with her eyes open. Widow Luo and Mrs. Tang have never dealt with her, and they often quarreled in the village.

However, they are all from the same village, and they know Mrs. Gu's virtues, and no one refutes her.

"Grandma is talking nonsense. It was clearly my mother who brought it to me, not you, so you are reluctant to part with it."

Unexpectedly, Gu Shengshu, a pig teammate, suddenly blurted out his words.

Li Zheng, who had just heard about the incident and ran over, happened to hear these words.

"What are you doing? The quarrel is endless, and the people in other villages are laughing at it." Li Zheng yelled, and the scene immediately calmed down.

Afterwards, Li Zheng walked up to Tang Ningning and asked, "How do you want to deal with the second child's family?"

"Didn't Mom raise several chickens? It wouldn't be a problem to pay us a few chickens and let a few children replenish their health."

"You vicious woman, don't even think about it." Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes in anger.

Tang Ningning looked directly at Old Man Gu, who wanted to save face, "Dad, what do you think?"

Li Zheng also gave some earnest words of advice.

Old Man Gu's eyes were gloomy. After seeing such a big movement and not even coming out to take a look, Old Man Gu sighed.

Then, regardless of the mischievous old lady Gu, she ordered Boss Gu to bring three chickens to Tang Ningning.

"Dad--" Boss Gu was dissatisfied, and Mrs. Wang was even more angry, but she didn't dare to speak.

"go."

The heads of the Gu family still have to show respect, so Mr. Gu threw the three chickens to the ground in a menacing manner.

Gu Yan looked at it and immediately picked up the chicken by its neck.

After the play was over, everyone went home with great interest.

Tang Ningning caught up with Li Zheng and told him about building a roof. Li Zheng saw that Tang Ningning was sincerely repentant and wanted to live with her children, so he agreed.

"Life is not easy for the second child's family. After all, we are the elders. It's better not to get too tense in the future."

Tang Ningning smiled, "Uncle Li Zheng, don't worry, as long as you don't hurt my child, I can tolerate it."

"Okay. But when it comes to building a roof, you should quickly find some more white thatch. In two days, I will take the master to your house. Looking at the weather, it will snow soon, so it is better to plan early."

"Thank you, Uncle Li Zheng."

Li Zheng waved his hand, turned around and left.

When they got home, several children were happily tidying up. When they saw Tang Ningning, especially Ge'er, they immediately rushed towards her.

"Mother---amazing--"

Several children looked at her with admiration, except Gu Han.

"What is Han'er thinking about?"

Gu Han was startled and shook his head. Others may not know, but he knew that mother seemed to be capable.

"Okay, I'm going to make noodles for you. You guys, first get some pastries to cushion your stomach."

There are pastries! The two children ran into the house excitedly.

Gu Han and Gu Yan were left behind.

"Mom, let me help you."

Gu Han was stunned, when did Yan'er call her mother? He felt weird, he wanted to call her mother too!

The two walked into the kitchen.

Tang Ningning first cleaned up the mess made by Mrs. Gu. Seeing that the rice, grain and oil were intact, she patted her chest happily.

Before, she saw that the fence in the yard was not high, making it easy for thieves to get in, so she thought of hiding the food in a dark place so that it would not be easily discovered, so she did not let Mrs. Gu give it to Huo Huo.

"Mom, do you want to light a fire now?"

Tang Ningning shook her head and took out the fresh vegetables she bought.

"Yan'er, wash the cabbage, carrots, peppers, and celery and cut them into sections. Mom will make the noodles first."

"okay."

With five people in the family, Tang Ningning took about 300 grams of flour and poured it into the basin.

While pouring cold water in small amounts several times, knead the dough with your hands until it becomes a slightly dry fluffy shape. The knife-shaped noodles need to be slightly harder to taste better.

After doing this, she took another piece of pork and cut it into pieces with a knife.

"Han'er."

A loud shout passed through, and Gu Han came over holding Gu Ge in his arms.

"What's wrong, mother?"
