Chapter 422 Xu Qianqian pretends to be crazy and acts stupid

"Ouch! Grandma, be gentle!" Even through the thick coat, Xu Ning could feel the love from his grandma.

Xu Ning was jumping up and down with his hands covering his buttocks. Suddenly, he noticed a stranger was there. He immediately withdrew his hands and became serious.

"Grandma, you won't ask me to return the money, will you?" Xu Ning was the first to act coquettishly towards Old Lady Xu, and with his pouting lips he looked even more aggrieved than Xu Feng.

"I'm hitting you because you're bullying the weak." Old Mrs. Xu said unhappily.

"Then you are bullying the young by taking advantage of your age!" Xu Ning immediately retorted.

"You have so many crooked ideas, can't you let him do it again?"

"Hey, grandma, the more I give him, the more he loses. This is the result of me giving him a lot of leniency. If I don't give him a lot, all his trump cards will be gone."

Old Mrs. Xu shook her head helplessly. Xu Feng only remembered the food and not the beating. He always forgot the lesson. After being tricked by Xu Ning this time, he will do the same thing again next time. Who knows who he resembles.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, Xiaobao. We'll make your favorite barbecue tonight. Men shouldn't cry easily. Others will laugh at you. Do you understand?"

"Grandma, can't I cry in our house? There are no outsiders here." After hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu didn't know what to say. Jiang Yan, on the other hand, curled the corners of his mouth and was in a good mood.

Xu Ning sat carefully beside Xu Feng, ready to run away at any time. Although Xu Feng would never hit her, he chased her just now just to get back the money he lost.

But in her eyes, Xu Fengshu was just a twelve-year-old boy who could be teased. If she was really pushed to the limit, the love that Old Lady Xu gave her would be more than a slap in the face.

That is a dense love.

Xu Feng took a glance and found that the money in Xu Ning's hand was gone. He knew he couldn't get it back. He was so angry that he turned his back to Xu Ning and didn't want to pay attention to her.

"Oh, Xiaobao, are you really angry? It's my fault. Next time I'll let you play five times, okay? Don't be angry. Let's continue playing tonight. We don't need money this time. How about we play with stickers, or draw on each other's faces? Is that okay?"

Xu Feng's eyes lit up, as if he saw Xu Ning being painted as a big tabby cat.

"You said you would let me have five." The arrogant boy muttered.

"No problem, I'll give you five."

"Really?"

"Your second sister doesn't tell lies!"

Winter nights are very long. The Xu family had finished their dinner before dark, and now everyone was sitting around the fire.

There were some sweet potatoes and corns placed on the fire, as well as a beggar's chicken wrapped in mud, which was emitting a faint fragrance.

"I have six." Xu Ning played his cards and looked around at everyone. Seeing that no one wanted it, he played a straight of seven to one.

Seeing that Xu Ning didn't have many cards left in his hand, Xu Feng got anxious and blew out the king.

Xu Ning: I don’t want it.

Others: I'm sorry.

Xu Feng started playing cards with a chuckle.

Shunzi, no one wants it.

Double pair, everyone shook their heads.

He got another three.

He thought there was only one card left and he was finally going to win.

As a result, his second sister played four fours.

"Blast you, hahahaha, I win again!"

Xu Feng? Xu Ning played a straight hand next, with a bunch of pairs and other things.

Xu Feng lost again.

Old Lady Xu couldn't bear to see this, "Just keep bullying your brother."

Xu Ning felt a little embarrassed. Looking at Xu Feng, whose face was covered with notes and who was crying like a 1.6-meter-tall child, he couldn't help but take out the money he had won at noon.

"Xiaobao, what do you think this is?"

"I don't want it!" Xu Feng brushed away the tear-soaked note on his face and put it down again, pushing away Xu Ning's hand. He was just angry at himself for being too stupid and not being able to beat his second sister.

As for the money, he had already received it before dinner that night, and it was a tiger made of silver!

I felt a little happy when I thought of Xu Feng, but I felt even more upset when I thought that he was cheated by his second sister again.

"You do it on purpose. You always keep the big cards in reserve just to trick me!" Xu Feng was tired of crying and protested to Xu Ning who was digging sweet potatoes.

Xu Ning took out a spoon from somewhere, used the tip of the spoon to cut the skin of the roasted sweet potato, and then ate it directly with the spoon.

After being roasted, the sweet potatoes have less moisture, the flesh is firmer, and the taste is fragrant and sweet. Xu Ning took a bite and closed his eyes comfortably.

While eating, she did not forget to laugh at him: "Silly boy, who made you fall for the same trick? If not you, who else can I trick?"

"Ah, second sister!" Xu Ning raised his eyebrows and continued to eat the roasted sweet potatoes without being affected.

"Leave a sweet potato for me." Xu Feng saw that everyone was picking sweet potatoes. Even Jiang Yan took one and ate it with a spoon like Xu Ning.

"Here, take it yourself!" Xu Ning pointed at the brazier with his chin. There was only one sweet potato left on the brazier. Xu Feng stopped crying and quickly pulled the sweet potato over.

After Xu Ning finished eating the sweet potatoes, he started to prepare the beggar's chicken. As soon as the mud shell was cracked open, the whole house was filled with a rich aroma.

At the Xu family's side, candlelight flickered and laughter filled the air, but at the home of the village chief, the atmosphere was depressing.

Xu Qianqian even smashed the indestructible dustpan in the room over and over again as if it was Xu Ning.

Late at night, Jiang Yi told Jiang Yan the news that the secret guard had found out.

The next morning, the Xu family was awakened by a burst of ghostly howling before dawn.

"Daddy, daddy..." The one who kept calling daddy was the village chief's daughter Xu Qianqian. Her hair was disheveled at this moment, and she was being dragged towards the village entrance by the village chief of Xujia Village. When she arrived at the door of Xu's house, Xu Qianqian "broke free" from the restraints and began to cry and shout in front of the door of Xu's house.

The village head's wife cried and begged: "Master, you can't sell Qianqian, you can't. Qianqian has suffered so much, how can you bear to sell your only daughter! Oh, God!"

"I have no choice. If we don't sell her, our family will starve to death. She's like this anyway, so we might as well send her to live a good life there, and we can still survive!" As he said this, he continued to pull Xu Qianqian. Xu Qianqian cried and struggled, until everyone seemed tired, and she began to smile foolishly.

The noise was so creepy early in the morning that it woke up the Xu family, including the servants of Li the Hunter who lived next door.

"What's going on again!" Xu Ning pulled the quilt over his head and turned over in annoyance.

"Mom, go out and take a look. Yuanyuan, you and Ningning continue to sleep." Zhang turned over and put on her clothes. She went out to the yard and found that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were already there.

"Dad, Mom, it's so cold, let's go back to our rooms. Let Dayong and I handle this."

Xu Da also came out when Zhang was talking. He also had an impatient look on his face. When he saw the people in the yard, he immediately put away his expression and said, "Dad and Mom, listen to Mei Niang and go into the house."

The servants had also come over and started lighting the candles and braziers in the hall.

Old Mrs. Xu looked back and saw that all the rooms were lit. She sighed and helped Old Man Xu walk to the living room. "Dayong, your father and I will wait for your news in there."

"Hey!" After comforting his parents, Xu Da held Zhang's hand and walked out.

The gate of the Xu family opened. The village chief and his men were delighted, but when they turned around they saw the gloomy-faced Xu couple.
