Chapter 545: Chapter 543 Inspection_1
She couldn’t help but yell, "Your family’s chickens died, why should we compensate?"
Really, they were going too far, daring to pin anything and everything on her.
Mrs. Jiang nearly died of anger.
"Yeah, why should we?" Mrs. Jiang’s man also scowled in agreement, standing in front of her like a protective calf.
Although they had just been fighting violently, they were still family and naturally banded together against outsiders.
The sisters-in-law sneered, "It was your chickens that got sick first, and your Mrs. Jiang inspected our chicken coops, bringing the virus to us!"
"Bullshit," Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help but retort loudly. "I clearly washed my hands with soapy water until they were clean, and I even changed my clothes, so how could I bring the virus!"
The number of chickens that had caught the disease was nearly a dozen, and if they had to pay compensation, it might cost them several hundred yuan, something she definitely didn’t want to be the scapegoat for!
The sisters-in-law also started acting brazen, "Anyway, the chicken plague is inseparable from your family, hurry up and compensate!"
"Compensate!"
"Mrs. Jiang, don’t go too far!"
Mrs. Jiang went crazy, "I won’t compensate, all of you stop slandering me!"
The commotion escalated, and the village chief arrived, furious.
"What are you yelling about in the middle of the night, you don’t sleep and don’t let others sleep either!" The village chief wished he could strangle them all.
The neighboring courtyard belonged to Lu Tingli, a key figure in the village office, whose wife was also pregnant. What if they were disturbed by the noise!
So in order to return peace to their ears as quickly as possible, the village chief quickly resolved the issue.
"Mrs. Jiang, your chickens were the first to get sick, and you also visited these people’s chicken coops, so the infection of these people’s chickens is indeed inseparable from you. Therefore, you bear ninety percent of the responsibility and will compensate these families’ chickens at ninety percent of the market price," the village chief said coldly.
"Oh my dear mother, where am I going to find that much money!" Mrs. Jiang suddenly sat on the ground and wailed.
Mrs. Jiang’s man’s face turned red and then white as he scolded Mrs. Jiang, "What are you shouting for, woman? Chief, I’m really sorry, rest assured, I will definitely compensate everyone for the chickens."
Afterward, the man looked awkwardly at the village chief, reassuring him.
Compensating money was a small matter, but if he lost his job, it would be a disaster.
"I think compensation is not the most important thing, teaching your wife how to behave is!" The village chief left after dropping this remark without any good air.
The rest of the sisters-in-law who had come for arbitration also left one by one, not worried that Mrs. Jiang and her family wouldn’t pay, unless he really didn’t care about his reputation.
After everyone had left, Mrs. Jiang’s man, unable to bear it any longer, gave Mrs. Jiang on the ground two slaps, "You stupid woman, look at the trouble you’ve caused, you’ve almost completely ruined my reputation!"
Angry!
He was really too angry!
All this trouble over a couple of chickens!
Mrs. Jiang screamed repeatedly, covering her face, tears streaming down nonstop, "I only did this because our family is poor. If you could be as wealthy as Lu Tingli or become a heavyweight researcher like him, would I have to resort to switching chickens?"
"So you blame me now? I’ll kill you, you wretched woman!" The man hit her even harder.
...
"Noisy."
At the dinner table, Lu scowled involuntarily, closing the doors and windows tightly.
After that, the noise quieted down a bit.
Late into the night, Lu Tingli looked at the girl under the lamplight and gently touched her ink-like hair, "You’ve had a hard day."
Wrangling with people like Mrs. Jiang must have been very tiring.
"It’s not that hard, but I have to say, Mrs. Jiang’s skin is really thick!" Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but complain to Lu Tingli about what Mrs. Song did today.
After listening, Lu Tingli was also at a loss for words, "It is thick, it could stop a bullet."
The moment Xia Ningxing heard this comparison, she laughed even harder.
That night, as they lay in bed, Lu Tingli couldn’t help but touch Xia Ningxing’s belly, which wasn’t very prominent yet.
With the thought that his own bloodline, his flesh and blood, was growing inside, his heartbeat uncontrollably quickened, filled with nervousness, excitement, and anticipation.
As he gently caressed her, Lu Tingli couldn’t resist bending down to press his ear against her stomach.
"Ningxing, I think I can hear the little one’s movements," he said with surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent.
"What kind of joke is that!" Xia Ningxing immediately rolled her eyes at him, "And you’re supposed to be a top student, too. How big could a three-month embryo be? It’s nothing you can feel!"
Lu Tingli: "...Do you have to expose me like that?"
His eyes were filled with a look of grievance.
Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her lips, trying to suppress a smile.
Lu Tingli held her in his arms and added, "Ningxing, I heard we can check for the baby’s gender after three months. Shall we go check it out in a few days?"
"No need," Xia Ningxing rejected the idea without a second thought.
Lu Tingli’s eyebrows furrowed deeply as he stared at the girl in his arms, puzzled, "Why not?"
Xia Ningxing blinked at him, "Don’t you think it would be more surprising to find out after seven months?"
"Not really, I want to know now whether it’s a girl or a little rascal in there," Lu Tingli honestly expressed his innermost thoughts.
A girl or a little rascal.
Blatant preference for girls over boys!
"Lu, that kind of thinking is wrong," Xia Ningxing said earnestly.
Lu Tingli spread his hands helplessly, "Can’t help it."
Xia Ningxing: "..."
"So, shall we check?" Lu Tingli’s onyx-like eyes eagerly fixed on her.
Xia Ningxing couldn’t withstand that kind of gaze, and after sighing, she finally gave in, "Let’s check."
"You’re the best, Ningxing!" Having gotten her agreement, Lu Tingli immediately showered her with kisses.
As the saying goes, a spark can start a huge fire, and some things, once started, cannot be stopped...
But at the crucial moment, Lu Tingli still managed to calm down. He slapped his face and cursed himself a "bastard" before preparing to wash his face with cold water.
She wasn’t even three months pregnant yet, the most unstable period, how could she withstand such roughness!
"Lu, just a few more days," she said after he returned from washing his face, her delicate, fair hand gently touching his handsome cheek.
He really was good-looking, with chiseled features, a defined outline, full of masculine charm and manliness.
His body was well-proportioned, looking slim in clothes but muscular without.
"Stop touching, or I’ll have to wash my face with cold water again," said Lu Tingli, lifting his large hand to hold hers in his palm, then lifting the blanket to lie down beside her.
Three days later was the day Xia Ningxing would be three months pregnant.
Lu Tingli took a two-hour leave and accompanied Xia Ningxing to the hospital.
The hospital in the compound wasn’t far from the residential area, so they chose to walk.
