Or perhaps these people in the old residence were born incomplete and did not have that thing at all.

Rong Yan turned to look at her thin shoulders. He retracted his arms in horror as soon as he raised them. What did he want to do just now? Why did he have such thoughts?

Ning Fengnian was extremely conflicted. He suddenly recalled the question his daughter had asked not long ago—

“Let’s say that one day, you have to choose between the old residence and our family. Who do you choose?”

That’s right. He had never thought that his parents, brothers, and family would be a multiple-choice question.

His expression was ugly, but he looked at his parents pleadingly. “Father, Mother…”

Old Madam Ning slapped her thigh. “If it weren’t for the fact that you only cared about your own good days after we split up and didn’t have the two of us in your hearts, Fengcai wouldn’t have encountered such a thing and wouldn’t have been beaten up like this.”

“Ning Fengnian, listen up. Fengcai and I saved your life. If you watch him get his finger cut off now, you’ll be worse than a wolf. You’ll be struck by lightning!”

Second Aunt Ning also howled. “That’s right. You’re just losing a recipe. My husband is going to lose a finger!”

Ning Fengnian looked at his former family and felt as if he no longer knew them.

Xiaoxiao waited for Old Madam Ning and Second Aunt Ning to finish scolding before she said faintly, “Haven’t you considered paying compensation obediently?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The two of them paused and stared at her with tears in their eyes. “What do you know? They want 50 taels of silver. Have you seen so much silver in your life?”

After saying that, she looked at Ning Fengnian. “Fengnian, tell me, are you going to give me that recipe or not!”

Yun Yi and the others were tempted and clenched their fists until they cracked. They only calmed down when Rong Yan glanced at them.

He looked at Xiaoxiao again and prepared to throw all these people out if he noticed her frown.

Xiaoxiao was also waiting for Ning Fengnian’s decision. After a long time, he finally raised his head and looked straight into his parents’ eyes. “Father, Mother, have you ever thought about how my family of five will live in the future if we take out the recipe for sour bamboo shoots?”

“How are we going to face the shopkeeper of the Fragrance Restaurant in the future if we give the recipe to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant like this?”

“How are you going to return us the 20 taels of silver that Second Sister-in-law caused?”

Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction. Her father was not muddle-headed after all.

However, Old Madam Ning was dissatisfied. When she heard Ning Fengnian’s rejection, her expression twisted. She went forward and slapped Ning Fengnian hard. “God, open your eyes. Look at what I raised with my hard work. Why don’t you be struck by lightning and die! Back then, I would rather starve my own son to let him live. Is this how he repays me?”

The villagers, who originally had some complaints about the old residence, looked at each other. Old Madam Ning had said this for many years, but it was useful.

Ning Fengnian didn’t dodge. He took the slap firmly, but he still wouldn’t let go. “Mother, hit me until you calm down.”

Old Madam Ning’s eyes were filled with ruthlessness. She really raised her arm high. “Calm down? Dream on! Ning Fengnian, you owe me your life. You have to repay this favor even if you have to sell everything today!”

This ruthless slap did not succeed because Xiaoxiao went forward and pulled Ning Fengnian away.

“Father, why aren’t you dodging?”

Ning Fengnian’s face was filled with pain. “It’s my fault. As a husband, father, and son, I’m a failure. I deserve to be beaten up.”

Xiaoxiao said, “But Father, Grandma won’t be satisfied even if you let her hit you. Grandma doesn’t want these few slaps today. She wants the recipe..”
