Chapter 46 -46 Teaching Old Mrs. Xia a Lesson_1
Old Mrs. Xia wasn’t like Mrs. Xia, who favored her daughters; she actually despised girls the most, especially now that Xia Ningxing had the nerve to talk back to her, which made her disdain even greater, “A worthless wretch raised by a cheap slut; absolutely not presentable, no concept of respecting one’s elders at all!”
“Respect has to be earned, Granny, and you certainly don’t qualify for it,” Xia Ningxing stressed the last few words, elongating the tone with full sarcasm.
A crazy old hag, daring to speak of respect in front of her!
I’ll respect your grandmother’s leg!
“You good-for-nothing, you’re asking for a beating!” Old Mrs. Xia, who had been pampered by her children and daughter-in-law all her life, couldn’t take this humiliation; she raised her walking stick to strike Xia Ningxing.
Mrs. Xia and the five brothers were immediately alarmed and tried to stop her, “Mother/Grandma, don’t hit your sister!”
“Ah! Granny is hitting someone, help me, village chief-grandfather, save me!” Xia Ningxing pretended to be scared to death, but she swiftly ran to the village chief and clung to his legs.
Getting tangled up with such an unreasonable old hag wouldn’t benefit her; therefore, Xia Ningxing planned to deal with the old lady by leveraging the village chief’s influence.
The drawing of lots was proposed by the village chief, so the possibility of everyone freely changing their order was out of the question. That would be a slap in the face for the village chief, and he would never allow such a thing to happen.
“What’s going on here with the Xia family, why are you hitting a child?” The village chief, who had been watching the drawing of lots, frowned deeply in displeasure as he saw the tiny Xia Ningxing with tears streaming down her face, and stared at Old Mrs. Xia who was raising her walking stick to hit someone.
What is all this nonsense, creating trouble on such a good day for dividing the farmland!
“It’s nothing, just, just the child being disobedient, I wanted to discipline her a bit,” Old Mrs. Xia had lost all her previous fierceness, not daring to speak the truth in front of the village chief, and could only offer a sheepish explanation.
After all, asking to change the order of farmland allocation was too shameless; this couldn’t be known to outsiders.
So she secretly glared at Xia Ningxing again, “You wretched girl, let go of the village chief at once and come here!”
“I won’t!” Xia Ningxing sniffled, hugging even tighter, and raised her tear-filled, fierce eyes, starting to complain in a choked voice, “Village chief-grandfather, you have to stand up for our family!”
“What happened, Bao’er?” The village chief looked down at her.
Old Mrs. Xia, fearing that her granddaughter would spill the beans, quickly interrupted, “It’s nothing at all!”
“You be quiet!” The village chief was no fool; he shot Old Mrs. Xia a sharp look.

The child was crying like this, and to say it was nothing! Did she take him for an idiot?
Lady Xia immediately deflated like a punctured ball, not daring to utter another word.
The village chief then bent down again and gently touched the girl’s hair, “Bao’er, tell Grandpa, what exactly happened?”
Xia Ningxing sobbed and said, “Village chief-grandfather, didn’t I just draw number one? Granny, she wanted us to give the first spot to my eldest uncle’s family!”
“When we refused, she started cursing my mother with all sorts of nasty words, and then she wanted to hit me, even threatening my mother, saying that if she didn’t agree, she would beat me, the worthless wretch, to death, wuu wuu wuu…”
This exaggerated tale almost made Old Mrs. Xia roll her eyes and faint.
“You deceitful wretch, how dare you twist right and wrong!” When had she ever said she would beat her to death!
Old Mrs. Xia’s eyes were about to burst from fury as she lifted her walking stick and pointed at her, her hand trembling as if afflicted by Parkinson’s disease, as though Xia Ningxing were some mortal enemy responsible for killing her father.
