Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 7 I want to separate the family

Luo Ning arrived at the old house, and Qu Fang greeted her with a smile, her covetous gaze lingering on Luo Ning's silver bracelet. "Fourth sister-in-law is here! Come in and sit down!"

Well, they're treating her like a guest. But Luo Ning thinks it makes sense; she's just a passerby in the Xie family.

The original owner divorced Xie Chang'an not long after he returned to his unit. She didn't know if coming here would change anything, but she also planned to divorce Xie Chang'an.

Of course, it's not a real divorce; it's just a ploy to get him to back down.

Zhu Cuifen, with a long face, mended the cuffs of her cotton-padded jacket without even lifting her eyelids.

Luo Ning didn't mind Zhu Cuifen's attitude, but Qu Fang's covetousness made her feel uncomfortable. Not to mention the space inside the bracelet, the bracelet itself was also very valuable.

Made of mithril, it has a simple and elegant appearance and is engraved with prayer texts, making it a true family heirloom.

Luo Ning stepped inside and went straight to the point, "Second Sister-in-law, where is my dowry?"

The words "dowry" struck Qu Fang's sister-in-law's heart like a hammer, causing her both heartache and financial pain.

Qu Fang stammered, her eyes darting around.

The old woman sprang up from the kang (heated brick bed) in the inner room. Her body felt better, her head no longer throbbing. She glared, her eyes bulging, and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Where is the dowry for you, you little whore!"

"Since Mom says there isn't any, and my sister-in-law can't explain it clearly, then I'll look for it myself!" Luo Ning went into the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, and searched each room.

Luo Ning never plays by the rules, and when she found out that her dowry had been seized, she wanted to pull off a heist.

The two paths she drew were meant to mislead the enemy, and they did not disappoint her, truly fulfilling her wish.

"Fourth sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Qu Fang trembled with fear and hurriedly called out to the old lady, "Mom, Dad, Xiaomei's father, Fourth sister-in-law has gone mad!"

Zhu Cuifen was so frightened by the scene that her legs went weak and she couldn't even make a sound.

The old lady stumbled and almost fell, but quickly grabbed the wall and walked out.

With their stomachs growling with hunger, the three Xie brothers, unable to fall asleep in bed, jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) barefoot and rushed out.

Luo Ning used her kitchen knife to clear a path; anyone who dared to obstruct her would be met with her eagerly awaiting attack.

She found the dowry chest in Qu Fang's room, picked it up, and left.

Xie Changtai, who was running at the front, stopped in his tracks when he saw this scene. The two behind him also stopped and watched helplessly as Luo Ning carried her dowry past them.

The old lady rushed over in a panic, almost fainting from shock. "What are you all standing there for? Go and snatch that little whore's dowry back!"

The three Xie brothers hunched their necks, their legs looking as if they had just grown out, unable to stretch them out for a long time, their hearts pounding with anxiety.

Xie Chang'an walked in, his eyes flashed for a moment, and he stood at the door without moving.

The old lady was so angry she almost vomited blood. She pointed a trembling finger at Xie Changtai and his two companions, yelling, "You bunch of good-for-nothings!"

She shoved Qin Cuifang beside her, "Go!"

"Mom, I dare not!" Qin Cuifang hurriedly ran back. If Luo Ning's knife had hit her... she shuddered and dared not think about it.

Qu Fang's eyes flickered a few times, and she slipped out from behind the old lady. "Mom, my fourth sister-in-law is having a relapse; we have to take her to the hospital!"

Once Luo Ning arrives at the town hospital, her relatives there can help diagnose her as mentally ill, allowing her to obtain the bracelet without anyone noticing.

There are too many people in the hospital, who would know that she took it? Luo Ning is not afraid to identify her, who would believe the words of a madwoman?

It doesn't matter if Luo Ning goes crazy, as long as she is the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, the Luo family must support their entire family.

Qu Fang had personally overheard the agreement between the old lady and the village chief, so she jumped out to make her presence known at the crucial moment when Zhu Cuifen hesitated.

Is this woman a shrew? Xie Changtai immediately got angry and reached out to grab her.

The old woman shoved him aside, saying, "Second son's wife, hurry up and catch that little slut. I'll make you a steamed egg cake tonight."

Qu Fang's mouth watered, and she quickened her pace as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

Xie Chang'an remained motionless, wanting to see how Luo Ning would handle the situation.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Luo Ning suddenly turned around and met Qu Fang's panicked gaze, then smiled sinisterly.

Qu Fang felt a chill run down her spine from the laughter and instinctively took a step back, trembling as she pulled out a small knife. "Fourth sister-in-law, let me help you!"

Xie Changtai and the others seemed to see a raging flood or a ferocious beast rushing towards them with its gaping maw. They retreated in a panic, and Xie Changle, whose eyesight was poor, was even trampled a few times.

Xie Chang'an frowned slightly. Xie Changguo and the others didn't know, but he did. Luo Ning had a familiar aura of menace, the kind that only those who had been on the battlefield possessed.

Luo Ning is just a country girl, how could this be?

The old lady plopped down on the ground, regretting that she shouldn't have agreed to let Luo Ning into the family. If she could move, she would have definitely run out of the village by now.

Luo Ning gave a forced smile, brandishing the kitchen knife in his hand. The knife flashed and whirled, and the cotton and fabric of Qu Fang's cotton-padded jacket fell off in a flurry.

Qu Fang was so frightened that her legs were trembling, and a cold sweat broke out on her back. "Fourth sister-in-law..."

"Alright!" Luo Ning put away the cleaver and carefully examined his handiwork: the four large characters on Qu Fang's ill-fitting cotton-padded jacket read, 'I'm a bad guy.'

She frowned, somewhat dissatisfied. "The cotton-padded coat is too soft and restricts my style. If I didn't wear it, I guarantee I'd look even better!"

Not wearing a cotton-padded coat is like being etched into one's body, isn't it? Everyone gasped, and Qu Fang was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Xie Chang'an frowned deeply. If he wasn't mistaken, Luo Ning knew martial arts!

Xie Chang'an, are you very curious? If you're so curious, then come and ask me!

I'm not going to tell anyone!

Luo Ning twirled the kitchen knife in her hand, glanced at Zhu Cuifen, and asked, "What did my sister-in-law say?"

Zhu Cuifen was so scared that she wet herself and couldn't even speak.

Xie Changguo quickly ran to move the dowry out and placed it next to Luo Ning.

Hinted at by the old lady, Xie Changtai also ran over and moved one over, then retreated awkwardly to the side, saying, "They're all, they're all here!"

Luo Ning opened the three boxes and checked them. They were full of brand-new clothes and fabrics. She sighed inwardly, thinking how generous the original owner's parents were!

"Why didn't you do this earlier? Why did you have to make me do it? I told you I'm so crazy I'm even afraid of myself, but you wouldn't believe me. Now you see for yourself, aren't you surprised? Did you really think being the village chief's daughter was easy? I wouldn't dare open a dye shop without some skills."

I'll check with my parents later, and if anything is missing, then…”

Before she could finish speaking, Qu Fang immediately pulled out a pair of silver earrings from her person and awkwardly handed them over, saying, "Fourth sister-in-law, we sisters-in-law are like real sisters. I... I'm keeping these for you!"

Luo Ning took the earrings and sneered. Her cheap second sister-in-law was indeed as greedy as she had imagined.

"Don't give me that nonsense. You forcibly seized other people's property, which is a serious offense. You'll be going to jail soon, and you won't go hungry anymore; there will be plenty of prison food waiting for you!"

"How come I have to go to jail? We've already returned everything to you!" Zhu Cuifen's voice was trembling; she was practically spitting blood.

“You kill someone and then apologize, what good does that do? This is illegal appropriation, and the amount is huge, and your attitude is extremely improper. My dad said the situation is very serious this year. With your attitude, it's not a problem to get ten or eight years in prison!”

Furthermore, and thirdly, I want to split up the family! Luo Ning, carrying a box in each hand, strode away.

The first and second points were not Luo Ning's goals; this was her true objective.

They dare to bully her like this when Xie Chang'an is home; if Xie Chang'an isn't here, ha...

It's obvious what kind of life she'll lead. Only by separating from the family can she get rid of this awful family and live a normal life!

Xie Chang'an picked up the remaining box and quickly chased after him.

The division of the family property completely crossed the old lady's bottom line, and she flew into a rage, cursing Luo Ning's ancestors for eighteen generations.

The whole family shivered in the wind...
