Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 426 The Tragedy Caused by Remarriage (9)

The police officers handcuffed Jian Yin to a pomegranate tree and went to the stone table in the yard to work on the case with their colleagues.

Jian Yin was furious and struggled through gritted teeth, "Hey, police officer..."

The middle-aged police officer looked up at her, his face cold, and said, "Jian Yin, your theft conviction is already set in stone. If you continue to interfere with the investigation..."

"I'll be quiet, I'll be quiet right away!" Jian Yin immediately quieted down and dared not cause any more trouble.

Luo Ning, as the prime suspect in the poisoning, was the first to be questioned by the police.

Half an hour later, the police released her and continued with the next round of questioning.

Jian Yin glared at Luo Ning's retreating figure as he walked into the kitchen, her anger simmering. Those police officers were useless; the situation was already quite obvious, yet they still let Jian Yin go.

Now she can only rely on herself; if she doesn't kill Luo Ning today, she'll consider herself defeated.

Luo Ning thought the same thing, so as to who would win, we'll just have to wait and see.

Luo Ning walked into the kitchen as if nothing had happened to prepare a meal. Of all things, eating is the most important thing, and the whole family must not go hungry.

Some people still have to go to work in the afternoon, so let's keep lunch simple: cold noodles with a few side dishes and some chicken soup that I made in the morning. That'll do for now.

Luo Ning lifted the lid of the pot and found that it contained milk. This was enough to satisfy the children's cravings, and the rest would be given to her eldest uncle.

Liu Aihong and her sister-in-law Zheng Xiu'e exchanged a glance and immediately went inside to help.

Liu Aihong glanced at the water vat, somewhat exasperated. "Da Ya, what will we do if there's no water at noon?"

“If we can’t use tap water, we can use well water!” Zhou Ling replied casually.

"It's been dry this year, so didn't your family dig a hand pump well to water the garden?"

Liu Aihong slapped her forehead; she had been so flustered that she had forgotten about it.

"There's also a hand pump well, that's great!" Luo Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When she left, the family had not yet dug a well.

Perhaps her father believed her superstition, because when he noticed that it wasn't raining for a long time, he dug a hand pump well in preparation, which just happened to solve their immediate problem.

Xie Chang'an then came in and glanced at Xie Changle.

"I'll fetch water!" Xie Changle raised his paws and volunteered to take on the heavy task of fetching water.

This time, he genuinely wanted to help in some way!

Despite the major incident in the village, Luo Ning remained calm and composed, effectively directing the overall situation, which impressed Luo Ning.

If it were him, he definitely couldn't have been so thorough.

Luo Ning watched Xie Chang Le's retreating figure, a question forming in his mind.

Has Xie Changle changed her personality?

nonexistent!

She knew Xie Changle too well; his honesty was just a ploy to borrow money.

Luo Ning withdrew her gaze and began directing the women in the house to do chores, "Sister, boil the milk, pour it out and let it cool. Give everyone in the family a bowl later, and don't forget to save one for Luo Lin!"

We have three dairy cows, all at their peak milk production. They produce enough milk for our family to drink every day, and the rest we use to make cakes!

"Okay!" Zheng Xiu'e happily sat down in front of the stove to start a fire.

"Um, Daya!" Liu Aihong looked in the direction of her home, then hesitated.

Luo Jing had celebrated someone else's birthday before, ate a cake from the city, and talked about it for a long time afterward.

Back then, my family was poor, so we couldn't afford to buy her any cakes.

Hearing Da Ya's words that the workshop could make cakes, her mind started to wander.

But the workshop belongs to Da Ya, and she and Luo Jing...

A big question mark popped into Luo Ning's mind: What's going on?

Zhou Ling suddenly remembered something and slapped her thigh, "Da Ya, today is Luo Jing's birthday!"

"Really? I forgot!" Luo Ning laughed awkwardly. She was a fake + n!

"Auntie, could you help me knead the dough? Make a little more dough so we can make cold noodles for lunch!"

Luo Ning turned and left the kitchen.

Xie Chang'an followed behind like a tail, his mind in turmoil.

"Little sister, you don't want Luo Ning to celebrate Luo Jing's birthday, do you?" Zhou Ling asked as she scooped noodles from the basin.

Liu Aihong immediately leaned closer and lowered her voice, "Luo Jing is so old already, and she's never had a proper birthday celebration. Besides, she's been quite well-behaved lately, so I was thinking..."

"Little sister, I understand what you're thinking, but don't forget that Da Ya is in charge of our family now. As her mother, you know best what's going on between her and Luo Jing."

"If you want to celebrate Luo Jing's birthday, go ahead, but you'd better not involve Da Ya! You need to consider Da Ya's feelings! Da Ya is sensitive; even if she's unhappy, she won't tell you!"

Liu Aihong nodded. Her sister-in-law was right; she did need to be careful.

When Xie Chang'an arrived at the bedroom, Luo Ning came out with a piece of paper and left.

He hurriedly chased after her, wanting to explain, but Luo Ning disappeared in a flash.

When Xie Changle returned with water and saw his brother like this, his lips twitched.

Why is his brother, who used to be so cold and aloof, so clingy?

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Luo Ning wants a divorce, but his brother disagrees!

Luo Ning handed the paper to Liu Aihong, "Mom, go to the village office and give this to my dad!"

Based on the descriptions given by those people, she suspected that they had been poisoned by rat poison, so she informed her father so that he could avoid taking any detours and try to save as many people as possible.

As for her, she doesn't know any medicine! The whole village knows that!

Moreover, as the main suspect, she should recuse herself.

If someone with ulterior motives were to fabricate a story that she intended to murder someone, she would have no way to defend herself.

Liu Aihong glanced at the paper, quickly put it away, and walked out.

"Da Ya, do you think this is enough noodles?" Zhou Ling stepped aside, revealing the basin.

Luo Ning, who was rummaging through the vegetable basket, turned her head and glanced at it. "That's enough!"

Zhou Ling pointed towards the yard and noticed that the police were gone. "Da Ya, shouldn't we bring them food?"

Luo Ning shook his head, picked up a potato and walked over, "The police won't eat at our house, that's a matter of principle."

However, we can't let the police officers investigate the case on an empty stomach. After we finish cooking, we'll clear the pot and make mung bean soup, and then make some glutinous rice balls in it.

Everyone gets two eggs; it's enough to fill their stomachs and cool them down. This doesn't violate any principles!

When they come back, have your older cousin invite them in for a meal.

After this case is closed, we'll have my older cousin treat them to a simple home-cooked meal to properly express our gratitude.

They used to take turns treating everyone after get off work, but this time it was my older cousin's house!

"Okay!" Zhou Ling nodded happily. With a policeman in her family who always talks about principles, she could understand!

Da Ya is so thoughtful; she never even thought of inviting people to her home for dinner!

Luo Ning's second aunt arrived soon after, and the women were busy in the kitchen.

Xie Chang'an and Xie Changle watched from the sidelines, also watching with great interest.

Luo Ning's cooking skills are incredibly fast, and they've never even seen it before...

Moreover, Xie Chang'an personally witnessed how longevity noodles are made, which felt quite fantastical.

Given his and his wife's current state, their chances of having longevity noodles next year are slim. How sad.

Apart from Luo Baiwan, who was still busy at the village office, his family members gradually returned home for dinner.

Luo Jing followed Liu Donglan in, unable to extricate herself from the sorrow of not being able to wear new clothes.

For the first time in many years, she had new clothes to wear on her birthday, but her sister wouldn't let her wear them...

Luo Jing has completely forgotten about the new clothes she wore when she was little. In her dictionary, clothes that don't look good don't count as new clothes.

Zheng Xiu'e came out of the kitchen and tugged at her sleeve, "Your mother wants you to go to the kitchen!"

"Oh!" Luo Jing walked listlessly towards the kitchen, secretly feeling resentful.

What's her mom up to? She's starving!
