Chapter 45 -45 Old Mrs. Xia Comes to Snatch_1

“Let me see…” Xia Ningxing slowly unfolded the slip of paper in her palm.

Her little heart ‘thumped’ nonstop, clearly very nervous and excited.

Upon seeing the number on it, she almost wanted to climb onto the roof and dance with joy, her voice trembling with excitement, “It’s number one!”

That meant their family could be the first to choose the farmland later.

Originally, she had been worrying about what they would do if the land that was to be levied was taken by someone else, but unexpectedly, her luck was so good that she drew the first one!

Now, the land to be levied was as good as hers!

“Wow! Little sister is really amazing!” the five brothers praised in unison.

Mrs. Xia rushed over excitedly and embraced Xia Ningxing, peppering her soft little face with kisses, “I knew our Bao’er was a lucky one!”

“Stay calm! Stay calm!” Xia Ningxing’s rosy lips curved into a smile; she clearly hadn’t expected to be so fortunate either.

“Not bad at all, the luck of Xia Jianren’s family is really not bad, and they will be the first to pick their plot,” the village chief said cheerfully on the side.

In those days, not many people were literate, so to avoid the issue of people drawing a number but not being able to read it, village leaders would read out the numbers, telling everyone the order they had drawn.

As soon as this was said, the peasants around them couldn’t help but turn green with envy.

Over the past year, nobody knew what kind of luck Xia Jianren’s family had stumbled upon; first, they made money in business, bought a three-wheeler, and now they were even the first to pick their land in the draw.

Originally, everyone thought that the children would definitely not draw any good numbers, but with Xia Ningxing setting the example, many peasants began to send their own children to draw.

However, they didn’t have the same good fortune as Xia Ningxing, either drawing the very last numbers or those after dozens of others.

With dozens of people drawing lots, it would take some time, so Xia Ningxing and her family waited on the side for everyone to receive their number before proceeding with the land division.

At that moment, an old lady with sparse white hair and bound feet came walking over quickly, and as soon as she approached Xia Ningxing and her family, she demanded in an extremely uncomfortable tone, her beady eyes gleaming with cunning and calculation:

“Jianren’s wife, swap your number one spot with your eldest brother’s family!”

Xia Ningxing narrowed her eyes slightly, taking a look at the other party.

This arrogant old lady was her biological grandmother, also Mrs. Xia’s mother-in-law.

Upon hearing her mother-in-law’s tone, Mrs. Xia’s eyebrows knotted into a tight frown, visibly trembling with anger, “Mother, we drew the first one, why should we have to swap it with eldest brother and sister-in-law’s family?”

Old Mrs. Xia had two sons, and after the family divided, she lived with the eldest. She had always shown favoritism towards him.

Seeing that Mrs. Xia not only disobeyed but also dared to talk back, Old Mrs. Xia became furious, banging her cane, “Have there ceased to be any principles? You little wretch, how dare you talk back to me, you disloyal dog, when Jianren gets back, I’ll make sure he divorces you, you hussy!”

“Mother! You’re going too far!” Being called a hussy and threatened with divorce by her own mother-in-law in public, Mrs. Xia’s face, thick-skinned as it usually was, now reddened with suppressed anger.

If it weren’t for the last bit of concern for her reputation, she would have strangled her right there.

“I think you’re the one going too far, not listening to your elders, you little hussy!” Old Mrs. Xia’s curse grew fiercer, “Hand over the first farmland drawing right now!”

In those days, the mother-in-law’s status was extremely high; daughters-in-law had no choice but to flatter and endure scolding. If you dared to resist or talk back, it meant you were unfilial, ill-bred, and a wicked daughter-in-law!

Xia Ningxing could no longer bear it; her fists tightening inch by inch, she burst out in front of Mrs. Xia, placing her small hands on her hips and glaring with her almond-shaped eyes, fiercely:

“I won’t allow you to scold my mother. I was the one who drew number one, I won’t swap it, and even if my mother wanted to, I definitely wouldn’t agree!”

She would not let Mrs. Xia carry the stigma of being a disrespectful daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law, so she took all the blame upon herself.

Anyway, she was just a child; people would at most say she was ignorant, and they wouldn’t blow things out of proportion.
