It's Time for Tea at Three O'clock

"Haha, the young man is quite energetic." Old Madam Nie chuckled, not seeming to care, and instructed the old housekeeper: "Guests are coming, why don't you invite them in to sit down? Go make some tea."

The old butler nodded, bent his body slightly and quickly made tea.

"Sister, shall we go in?" Ning Ruichen felt a little scared: "This old woman looks a little spooky, and she can spit out jujube-core nails. What if she attacks us?"

"You think too much." Ning Ruirui said calmly: "That old lady is indeed extraordinary. If she really wanted to attack us by surprise, we might have been dead."

Ning Ruichen suddenly remembered something: "Aren't we here to rescue Xiaoli's sister? Now that we have her, can we withdraw?"

"It's useless to save him like this." Ning Ruirui said meaningfully.

Ning Ruichen looked confused and couldn't figure it out: "Why?"

"Your parents protected you too well and never let you experience anything, so you know nothing about the ways of the world." Ning Ruirui shook her head. She was a little worried about her brother's future. Although he might have no worries about food and clothing, he was still a child mentally.

"You didn't tell me, how should I understand?" Ning Ruichen was also a little resentful, "In Xingdao, my parents didn't tell me anything, and now that I'm here, you don't tell me either."

Ning Ruirui said calmly: "It's useless to talk about these things. You have to experience them slowly by yourself."

"Okay." Ning Ruichen didn't ask any more questions, "Then shall we go in now?"

Mother Nie held her daughter Nie Xiaozao's hand and said to Ning Ruirui and Ning Ruichen, "Thank you both for your help. We need to buy some time and wait for Xiaoli and Mr. Xia to come over here."

"Auntie, don't worry, I can definitely protect your safety." Ning Ruirui said lightly.

The four of them walked into the villa, and Old Lady Nie and the woman in the top hat were already waiting in the living room.

"Humph, you didn't run away, but dared to come in. You are really brave." The woman in the top hat had changed into a new set of clothes, but she didn't change her hat. "Don't think that what happened just now can be let go. I don't have such a good temper."

"Girl, don't be so rude." Old Mrs. Nie glared at the woman in the top hat and scolded her softly.

The woman in the top hat was somewhat unconvinced, but she did not dare to disobey the old lady's words, so she could only snort coldly and stop talking.

"Mother-in-law, I came here this time to make some things clear." Mother Nie pulled Nie Xiaozao to sit on the right side of the old lady and said softly: "Xiao Li and I don't want to pursue the past anymore, but in the future, I hope..."

"Hey!" Old Mrs. Nie laughed and raised her hand to interrupt Nie's mother. "Have some tea first. It's three o'clock now. It's a good time to drink tea. Don't waste it."

The courage that Mother Nie had finally mustered was instantly lost.

Ning Ruichen suddenly asked, "Are you from Tiannan, old lady?"

"Oh, are you the same, young man?" At this time, Mrs. Nie's eyes lit up and she looked at Ning Ruichen with a smile.

"That's not the case. My hometown is Guicheng." Ning Ruichen shook his head and said with a smile, "But I have several friends from Tiannan, and the Tiannan dialect is similar to our Guicheng dialect, so it sounds familiar."

Old Mrs. Nie's tense face gradually relaxed, and her eyes softened as she looked at Ning Ruichen. She said with a smile, "Come, have some food. This is authentic Tiannan afternoon tea, and there are also snacks. Have some."

"Okay, thank you," Ning Ruichen suddenly became polite.

Ning Ruirui didn't know what Ning Ruichen wanted to do, but the atmosphere eased, which made her feel relieved. Otherwise, she would have been very nervous and tired.

"Young man, what's your name?" Old Mrs. Nie took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "How old are you? What do you do? Do you have a girlfriend? What do you think of my little daughter?"

The woman in the top hat was eating tea and almost jumped up when she heard this: "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Sit down. You have no manners. No wonder you are still unmarried at the age of 30!" Old Mrs. Nie scolded her directly.

Ning Ruichen smiled and said, "My name is Ning Ruichen. I'm just 20 years old and I'm an athlete."

At this time, he glanced at the woman in the top hat and said, "I don't even know your daughter's name. I don't know her, so it's hard for me to comment."

"Twenty years old, that's young." Old Mrs. Nie said with a little regret, "My youngest daughter is Nie Yurong, she's three years old this year..."

"Mom, what are you doing!" Nie Yurong was anxious and stood up. "What's going on now? You still want to matchmake for me? He's Nie Xiaoli's friend. Would I... date him? Is he worthy?"

Old Mrs. Nie came back to her senses, continued drinking her tea, and said nothing more.

Ning Ruirui was somewhat surprised that her brother, who was as quick as a firecracker, did not lose his temper but just drank a sip of tea calmly.

"Okay, let's talk about it." After a minute or two, Mrs. Nie finally regained her indifferent expression and said slowly, "There is nothing that cannot be discussed. Although the head of the family is not here, I can still make half of the decisions on the Nie family's affairs. Just tell me what you think."

When Mother Nie heard what the old lady said, she felt disappointed.

"Come on, why don't you say anything!" Nie Yurong looked at Mother Nie with disdain, "You slut, you just want to divorce my brother and take the opportunity to share some money. What's wrong with that? It's only human nature to be greedy for money."

"Rongrong, don't you feel guilty for saying this?" Mother Nie finally couldn't help it and retorted directly: "What kind of character is your brother, don't you know? He owed a lot of gambling debts over the years, and most of them were paid back by Xiaoli and I working hard to make money. He always secretly went to other places to hide from his debts, leaving us mother and daughter facing the creditors who were as fierce as wolves and tigers... At that time, who of you cared?"

"Don't give me that crap. Why should we have to clean up your family's mess?" Nie Yurong looked nonchalant and quickly said lightly, "Why does my brother go to gamble? It's to earn money to support you and your daughter, so that you can live a good life."

Ning Ruirui listened to this, shook her head and said lightly: "Miss Nie, do you believe what you said?"

"It's none of your business!" Nie Yurong glared at Ning Ruirui fiercely. "This is our Nie family's affair. You are an outsider and you are talking nonsense here. Believe it or not, I will have someone destroy you!"

"I'm Xiaoli's friend, and she asked me to help with this matter." Ning Ruirui had seen a lot of storms, and Nie Yurong's words had no killing power on her. She immediately retorted: "But you, you're over 30 years old, and you're still staying at home and relying on your parents. I guess you haven't found a job yet. You're no different from a useless person."

Nie Yurong was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She pointed at Ning Ruirui and cursed, "How dare you call me a useless person? Where's my bodyguard? Come here and beat her out!"

"Have you forgotten the lesson so quickly?" Ning Ruirui replied with a smile.

Nie Yurong's eyes widened, and she remembered the slapping by Ning Ruirui. She had no choice but to turn around and say to the old lady, "Mom, there's nothing to say to these people. They're not here to discuss matters. Just beat them up and kick them out."

"Sit down first." Old Mrs. Nie scolded.

"Mom!" Nie Yurong shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Sit down!" Old Madam Nie glanced at her again, "You dare not listen to me, right?"

Nie Yurong had no choice but to suppress her anger and sat down with her arms folded.

"I know a lot about your mother and daughter's affairs." Old Madam Nie put down her tea bowl and finally got to the point. "Over the years, Changsheng did go too far, and I, as a mother-in-law, was also wrong. Let's put it this way, you and your daughter can leave, and the Nie family will give you some compensation, but you can't stay in Niejia Town anymore, and they can't have the surname Nie anymore. But Kunpeng is the eldest son and grandson of my Nie family, and he can't go with you. This is a principle."

"Mother-in-law, you..." Mother Nie was stunned for a moment when she heard this condition and didn't know what to say.

According to the Nie family's usual virtue, these conditions were actually extra favors, but considering the suffering that the mother and daughter had endured over the years, it was simply an insult.

"Is that all?" Mother Nie said with a little disappointment.

"Hey, Zhang Qiling, don't push your luck!" Nie Fangrong couldn't help but speak again, cursing: "How much more money do you want? I'll give you half of the Nie family as compensation, okay? You just suffered a little, but you act as if the entire Nie family owes you and your daughter something. Why are you pretending to be pitiful? Besides, since you divorced my brother, Xiaozao and Xiaoli are definitely not worthy of the surname Nie."

"Kunpeng was also born after ten months of pregnancy. He is my biological son." Mother Nie's eyes instantly turned red. "You want to take him away with just a few words. Don't you think it's cruel?"

"Cruel?" Old Madam Nie's dry lips moved, and she shook her head and sighed, "No, this is the greatest favor the Nie family has done you. You are not worthy of being Kunpeng's mother. Kunpeng will definitely be the head of our Nie family in the future. How can he have a timid and shameless mother like you? This is an indelible stain on him."

Mother Nie was tough this time and directly retorted: "I have never done anything wrong, so how can it be a stain on my son? I think the Nie family is not worthy of my son."

"How dare you!" Old Madam Nie flew into a rage, the Buddhist beads in her hand cracked, "Who do you think you are? You dare to say bad things about the Nie family!"

"I didn't say anything wrong!" Mother Nie stood up slowly, suppressing the anger that kept rising in her heart, and spoke as calmly as possible: "Hasn't the Nie family done enough dirty things over the years? What kind of people are your children? Don't you know? You just pretend to be deaf and dumb, and you just chant sutras in the Buddhist temple. With the ugly things your Nie family has done, I'm afraid you won't be able to get away with it even if you chant for the rest of your life!"

"puff!"

Old Mrs. Nie suddenly opened her mouth, and a black light shot out from her mouth and shot rapidly towards Mother Nie's throat.

“Bang!”

Ning Ruirui was quick-witted and quick-handed, and immediately raised her leg to kick the black light away.

The black light changed its route and went straight through two walls, disappearing without a trace.

"You're so angry so quickly, you want to kill someone to silence them?" Ning Ruirui sneered, then relaxed: "That's good, no need to pretend to be nice, just start fighting, whoever wins gets to talk."

"Sister, why did your personality change so suddenly? You're a bit like your brother-in-law." Ning Ruichen said in surprise.

Ning Ruirui said calmly: "I always thought violence was not a good way to solve problems, but the more people I see, the more I feel that some people are not worthy of being human beings and should be solved with violence."
