Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 8 Sister-in-law, save me!

Zhu Cuifen almost choked again. "Mom, we...we're not really going to go in, are we? You were the one who decided to distribute all those things to us. If we end up in jail, I...I..."

Luo Ning spoke with absolute certainty, and the old lady, feeling a lingering fear, clearly lacked confidence. "No, that can't be..."

Qu Fang thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Mom, no, she belongs to our family, and her dowry is also our family's. How can we take our own things and go inside? Don't be scared by Luo Ning."

The old lady nodded, agreeing.

"Mom, where's my sponge cake?" Qu Fang almost lost her life and desperately needed a sponge cake to calm her nerves.

The old woman's eyes widened, and she yelled at the top of her lungs, "You want more chicken cake? Why don't you just fly to the moon?"

As soon as Luo Ning stepped outside, her hands went limp. Although that move had stunned the whole family, she was exhausted.

Carrying those two heavy boxes, she fell to the ground in a very unsightly manner. In the end, Xie Chang'an carried all the dowry back.

Inside the old house, the old lady had just gotten up from the ground when she saw Xie Chang'an, who had returned, standing in front of her. She was furious and started cursing.

Xie Changtai and the others scurried away like mice; his younger brother was even more formidable than that fat woman, Luo Ning.

After witnessing Luo Ning's abilities, they became even more afraid of Xie Chang'an.

Xie Chang'an interrupted the old lady's angry rant with an indifferent expression, "I'll be going back to the army in my third year of junior high. Luo Ning and you can't get along, let's separate the family."

Luo Ning's proposal to split the family business was a revelation to him.

The old woman's eyes nearly popped out of her head, and she stiffened her neck, "You unfilial and disobedient brat! Why didn't you strangle me and throw me to the wolves in the mountains when I gave birth to you?! You're trying to drive your own mother to her death! You wait, I'm going to report you to the army!"

"Then go ahead and sue! That way I won't get my allowance anymore, and my older brothers will have to support me!"

Xie Chang'an is not a fool, but he has always been treated as one.

He sent almost all of his allowance back home to support his family, which made them greedy and calculating towards him.

He was heartbroken that they kept the marriage a secret from him, and a separation of the family property became inevitable.

If he hadn't agreed when he joined the army back then... well, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore.

"You, you unfilial son!" The old lady sat down on the ground, slapping her thigh and cursing.

Xie Chang'an responded indifferently; he had become numb to this kind of scene after seeing it so many times.

He had made a special inquiry back then and found out that he was his biological son, but he just couldn't understand why he wasn't well-liked.

Now, not only does he have to support his family, but Luo Ning and her family also have to support them.

My older brother and sister-in-law save their own money, and my sister-in-law has always been helping her family.

Although the father was the head of the family, he never got involved in anything. The mother was the one who truly managed the household, and her heart was always with her brother.

“Starting next month, I will send half of my allowance home and the other half to Luo Ning!” Xie Chang’an was not discussing with the old lady but announcing her.

The old lady jumped up abruptly, about to explode in anger, when she suddenly heard an alarm and the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Xie Chang'an, who was standing at the door, turned around and saw Liu Chunsheng, who was wearing a police uniform, chasing after a shifty-eyed man.

"Chang'an, help me catch him!" Liu Chunsheng shouted as he ran.

The old lady, whose view was blocked by Xie Chang'an, thought that Liu Chunsheng was going to arrest her. Her mind went blank for a moment, and she blurted out.

"Fine, let's split the family property then! Fourth brother, you go and put in a good word for me. I'm so old, don't make me go to jail!"

Xie Chang'an remained unmoved, waiting for the right moment to capture the petty thief in one fell swoop.

"Brother Chunsheng, pounce on him from the right and grab him! How dare he take my stuff? He's asking for death!" Luo Ning ran out from behind the house in front, panting.

She was only gone for a short while, and this petty thief broke into her house. It's like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs. She can't guarantee she won't beat him to death.

Her ideal was lofty, but reality was harsh; her body couldn't keep up, and she was panting heavily after running only a short distance.

A bead of white sweat broke out on the old woman's back, and she immediately relented, "Alright, alright, half the allowance it is!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Chang'an and Liu Chunsheng pounced at the same time.

Liu Chunsheng missed his target, and Xie Chang'an subdued the petty thief in a couple of swift movements.

Liu Chunsheng chuckled as he got up, giving Xie Chang'an a thumbs-up. "Chang'an, you're really amazing!"

The old lady was so angry when she saw this that she almost fell over.

Seeing the old lady's displeased expression, Liu Chunsheng laughed it off, "Auntie, you are truly the best mother-in-law in the world. Luo Ning will definitely take good care of you!"

His flattery made the old lady feel so aggrieved that her head was about to explode.

Liu Chunsheng is a government employee and a cousin of the Luo family. He overheard what she said, so she can't take it back now.

Luo Ning paused, a thought creeping into her mind: Could it be that her cousin and Xie Chang'an conspired to scheme against the old lady?

Actually, it's not that; today's events were just a coincidence.

Even if he hadn't been involved in this incident, Xie Chang'an still planned to use some means to separate the family and get half of the allowance back. He couldn't continue to be so blindly filial.

Liu Chunsheng winked at Luo Ning and punched Xie Chang'an on the shoulder. "Brother-in-law, thanks. I'll treat you to drinks tomorrow."

Xie Chang'an's lips twitched; he had been taken advantage of by a bastard younger than himself.

Liu Chunsheng handcuffed the petty thief and gave him a sharp rap on the head. "You little brat, you're still up for the New Year! You dare to steal from my sister's house!"

It turns out that the person who disturbed Luo Ning today was this habitual offender. He smelled the aroma of Luo Ning's food and loitered around the neighborhood. As soon as Luo Ning and Xie Chang'an went out, he jumped over the wall and went inside.

When Liu Chunsheng arrived after receiving the report, Luo Ning was having a feast at his home, acting as if he were part of the family.

However, the food at Luoning's house was really good. They had pancakes, meat, and soup. My poor uncle only had pickled vegetables to eat during the New Year.

The petty thief, clutching his head, suddenly spotted Luo Ning. His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and he struggled to lunge at her, crying, "Sister-in-law, save me!"

Luo Ning instantly understood the petty thief's background and guiltily looked away.

When did that rooster-haired girl become a boss? This is heaven's will to destroy her!

Xie Chang'an keenly noticed something, his sharp gaze sweeping back and forth between Luo Ning and the petty thief.

Seeing things were about to go wrong, Liu Chunsheng hurriedly pushed the petty thief into the police car, saying, "Luoning, you're coming with me too."

"Okay!" Feeling uneasy under Xie Chang'an's scrutinizing gaze, Luo Ning was extremely grateful to her older cousin. She huffed and puffed as she climbed into the police car, as happy as if she were going to a market.

The moment the police car started moving, Xie Chang'an jumped in. Facing Liu Chunsheng's questioning gaze, he explained calmly, "I'm worried about Luo Ning!"

"Oh—" Liu Chunsheng's voice trailed off, a knowing smile on his face.

When the old woman saw the police car take Luo Ning away, she started trembling again. "You little whore, once you're in the station, don't even think about getting out! You still want to separate from the family? Why don't you just die? Your Luo family will have to support the Xie family for the rest of your lives!"

The neighbors who came out after hearing the commotion shook their heads inwardly upon hearing the old lady's words, thinking, "This is truly something I've never seen before."

This old lady Xie is going too far. Her new daughter-in-law is making a fuss about dividing the family property, so she sends her to the police station and still wants the Luo family to support her. She's really asking for trouble.

When Xie Yaolin heard the police siren, he rushed home, and countless people mocked and ridiculed him along the way.

As soon as he got home, his face flushed, the old lady started telling him what had just happened, tears streaming down her face…
