Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 203 Old cow eats young grass

“But the kids think differently from us. I’m still young, I want to enjoy myself for a few years first. These days, free love is all the rage, arranged marriages are so outdated. What’s this talk about settling down and starting a career? That’s all so old-fashioned stuff. I want to make a name for myself before I think about settling down. All this nagging and nagging is so annoying!”

Aunt Tong stared in disbelief. "Yes, yes, yes, mine is exactly the same as yours! Luo Ning, you're amazing!"

I've said everything I could think of these past few years, the good and the bad, but he just won't agree. He's getting older every year, and I'm worried he won't be able to find a wife!"

Luo Ning smiled calmly, "I'm still young, so I can understand the mentality of young people. Actually, this conflict between you and your son is a clash between old and new ideas. You both have your reasons, and it doesn't matter who is right or wrong! When the time is right, your wife will naturally come!"

Tong Nan nodded. See? See? Even Luo Ning said she was right, so she insisted she was correct.

Although this was her first time meeting Luo Ning, she felt as if she had known Luo Ning for lifetimes. She felt an instant connection and a desire to get close to her.

After finishing the profound topic of marriage, the two began chatting about trivial matters.

"Squeak!" The sound of the door opening came from outside. Aunt Tong was slightly taken aback. "Yang Zheng comes home at 12:10 every day without fail. It's only 11 o'clock..."

"Mom, I'm home! Is dinner ready? I'm starving!" A young man's voice suddenly came from behind, followed by footsteps approaching the kitchen.

Damn it, speak of the devil and he appears. Luo Ning lowered his head and picked vegetables, trying to minimize his presence.

"Hey girl, I'm going out for a bit!" Tong Nan put down the celery in her hand and immediately walked out. She was just talking about that naughty monkey, how come he's back so soon?

Tong Nan walked out of the kitchen and saw her son, who was a head taller than her and always acting nonchalant. "Qiangzi, why are you back!"

"Mom, what are you saying? This is my house, where else can I go if I don't come back!" Qiangzi shouted indignantly, craning his neck to look into the kitchen. There was a bicycle in the yard; it seemed like they had guests.

He thought he heard a woman's voice, like a lark's. Who was it?

"If you didn't play matchmaker for me, would I be wandering around outside? Mom, is there anything to eat? I didn't have breakfast on the train today, I'm starving!"

"You still have the nerve to talk back!" Tong Nan glared at Qiangzi and pointed to the cabinet where the things were kept.

"Go get your food and go back to your room. Don't cause any trouble since we have guests!"

"Oh!" Qiangzi nodded, his curiosity growing.

Tong Nan quickly returned to the kitchen and busied herself with Luo Ning.

Before long, the two had almost finished preparing the dishes. Tong Nan washed the rice and cooked it, while Luo Ning took charge of the cooking. The kitchen was bustling with activity.

As Luo Ning was plating the shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, a delighted voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Mom, this daughter-in-law is perfect, let's choose her!"

Luo Ning suddenly felt like a leftover vegetable, picked over and taken home for five cents.

Tong Nan's hand trembled slightly as she chopped vegetables. This brat had no sense of propriety. She grabbed half a carrot, turned around, and threw it at Qiangzi. "You bastard, that's your brother Chang'an's wife! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll skin you alive! I told you to stay in your room, what are you doing out here? Get out!"

"What?" Qiangzi dodged the carrot attack, jumped three feet high, and looked incredulous.

"You can't believe my brother Chang'an found such a good wife! Don't lie to me!"

"Young man, you're right, you have a bright future!" Luo Ning turned around and said with a smile.

Qiangzi blushed bright red. My goodness, Chang'an's wife is so beautiful!

No wonder he didn't want Gao Ya, Yin Qin, or Xiao Tian. It seems he's been waiting for this wife. But she looks so young. Is she even an adult yet?

Qiangzi blushed and scratched his head, then immediately apologized, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I was just joking, please don't mind!"

“Children speak without thinking, I understand!” Luo Ning nodded and continued working.

Qiangzi's lips twitched, he stuffed a piece of jujube cake into the back of his mouth, and turned to walk out.

He needs to question Chang'an Ge; how could he not have sent him a letter to tell him about such a big thing as finding a wife?

We promised to be good brothers and good friends, to walk together for life. Whoever gets married first is a dog.

As a result, he found a wife halfway through his life, leaving him all alone. What does that mean?

Mmm, these pastries are delicious. Qiangzi grabbed another handful and stuffed them into his pocket as he passed by the table.

Tong Nan got angry at his pathetic state, slammed the kitchen door shut, and went back to explain to Luo Ning with trepidation.

"Sister, it's all my fault. Don't take Qiangzi's words to heart. I used to send him away when guests came over, and he would leave quietly. Who knew he would come to the kitchen and talk nonsense today!"

"Sister-in-law, it's okay, we all know it's a joke. But Qiangzi is all grown up, you can't treat him like a three-year-old. You have to make things clear!" Luo Ning advised. She meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart. Rumors are more terrifying than the devil.

"I understand, I understand, sister-in-law, I promise this is the last time!" Tong Nan swore to the heavens, practically ready to rip his heart out for Luo Ning to see.

She really didn't mean it!

Luo Ning is right. She had always treated Qiangzi like a three-year-old child and hadn't realized that he was no longer a child.

This is because Luo Ning is reasonable; anyone else could have argued with her.

Qiangzi's mouth is so loose; he's so big and still spouts nonsense. He has no integrity whatsoever.

Before she knew it, her child had grown up so much, and she had grown old. Tong Nan suddenly felt a little sad.

Luo Ning was incredibly busy; the entire kitchen was her stage. Tong Nan, who had been feeling sentimental for a while, was speechless with amazement at Luo Ning's methodical and efficient work.

She had never even seen the dishes Luo Ning cooked before. She had lived most of her life and her only decent cooking skills were these days, but this little girl had outdone her.

Tong Nan wasn't jealous. Some people are just born to annoy others, and she wouldn't dwell on it.

Tong Nan followed behind Luo Ning, helping to pass plates and serve dishes, while also asking questions here and there.

In Xie Chang'an's hospital room, Qiangzi kept asking questions while chewing on a sour jujube cake.

Xie Chang'an was thoroughly annoyed, so he closed his eyes and ignored him, making it all too clear that he wanted to see the guest out.

Qiangzi pretended not to understand and continued to sit on the edge of the bed, muttering, "Brother Chang'an, is your young wife even an adult? You're like an old cow eating young grass!"

"Get out of here!" Xie Chang'an almost jumped off the bed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Qiangzi swallowed the sour jujube cake, a smug look on his face. "I was right, you're getting angry because you're embarrassed!"

"Yang Gangqiang, do you believe I'll beat you up!" Xie Chang'an clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead bulging.

Ever since he realized he liked Luo Ning, he has been very bothered by the age difference. Moreover, Luo Ning has been implying that he is old. This jerk didn't see him for half a year, and he's already making him angry as soon as he comes back.

He's only 28 years old, he's not old at all!

"You look even older when you're angry. Be careful your young wife doesn't leave you and goes to find someone younger!" Qiangzi popped another jujube cake into his mouth. This stuff is really delicious. He'll ask his mom to buy more later.

"You're injured and you still won't stop? You need to be more careful!" Qiangzi got up, threw a pillow at Xie Chang'an, and turned to leave. There was something good to eat at home today, so he had to hurry back; otherwise, he'd only be able to drink the dishwater.

Xie Chang'an had never known what it was like to be angry, and he was intimidated by Qiangzi, feeling a little flustered.

I started having wild thoughts, even questioning the meaning of life...
