Xu Hongjun said, "Saying that is being too polite, isn't it? Don't worry about living alone; when I have time, I'll help you get firewood from the mountain. You won't freeze!"
Xu Xuejuan glared at her brother, "You should take care of yourself first. Yanyan has money; she just needs to spend a little, and she can buy as much firewood as she wants."
Isn't she a capitalist young lady? Then she would just spread the word about Ning Yan again, letting everyone in Hongshan Production Team know she was rich. Maybe it could even help her find a good match here!
Ning Yan knew exactly what Xu Xuejuan was thinking at a glance, but would she care? Not at all.
In her previous life, the Original Host's family was raided, and a large amount of money was confiscated. Old Xu was promoted to Deputy Factory Director for his meritorious reporting. The two Xu Family children, one entered the factory as a skilled worker, and the other received a spot at a Worker-Peasant-Soldier University, going to Beijing for college.
The Original Host's jade pendant fell into Xu Xuejuan's hands. She accidentally activated the jade pendant space and, with the hundred-year-old ginseng and spiritual spring water from the space, she ingratiated herself with important figures in Beijing, living a life of boundless glory.
In short, the Original Host's family of three were just stepping stones for the Xu Family, sacrificing themselves to illuminate others.
In this life, as soon as she arrived, she first bonded with the jade pendant and then collected all the things from her home, even stealing from the Xu Family. Xu Yong must have sent his two children to the countryside because everything in his home was gone, and he had no money to pull strings for them.
In the previous life, their family caused the Original Host to die in the countryside and her parents to die on the farm. In this life, they shouldn't expect to have good days either.
But, no rush, take it slow, opportunities are easy to find.
Fan is a large surname in Hongshan Production Team. The Captain is also named Fan. Captain Fan is a retired soldier; he is particularly straightforward and has a hot temper. If anyone doesn't work or works poorly, he will really scold them.
Although Ning Yan hadn't reached the point of pulling up seedlings like weeds when working in the fields, she really couldn't do these farm tasks. After less than half an hour, her back, legs, and hands started to ache. When the sun came out, her forehead was covered in sweat. She really couldn't stand the hardship of working in the fields!
No, she had to think of a solution!
She had been waited on her whole life; when had she ever done such work? She absolutely refused to suffer this hardship!
With this thought, she began to look around at the men in the fields.
The Captain clearly felt that the young men in the team today were distracted, their eyes constantly drifting towards the new female Zhiqing, including his own son. Those brats, did they really think they could covet such a beautiful girl?
"Everyone, hurry up and work! Don't just stand there staring, or I'll deduct your work points!"
A group of young men quickly bent down, lowered their heads, and swung their hoes, working hard!
Finally, they endured until noon dismissal. Ning Yan dragged her heavy feet back. Xu Xuejuan had already pulled the other two Zhiqing back. Halfway there, she saw a burly man, one hand grabbing a seven or eight-year-old child by the back of his collar, the other hand snatching the fruit candy from his hand. The child cried out anxiously, "Fan Dahu, are you even human? You're stealing candy from a child! My mom said a person like you will never get a wife in this life!"
Fan Dahu shoved the candy into his mouth, then let go of the child. "Your mom said? What's your mom? I just don't want to get married, otherwise, my child would be old enough to buy soy sauce by now!
Kid, next time, watch yourself. If you dare to bully my nephew again, it won't be as simple as just taking your candy. I'll beat your butt until it blooms!"
With that, he even raised his large, fan-like palm!
The child cried uncontrollably, "Waaah, waaah, waaah, I'll never dare again, never again!"
The child finished speaking and ran off, stumbling. Fan Dahu looked up and his eyes met Ning Yan's bright, clear ones.
He awkwardly ran a hand through his crew cut, then his eyes narrowed, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone bully a child before!"
Ning Yan Silly Husband said, "No, I haven't!"
Fan Dahu choked. Where did this silly girl come from?
Speaking of which, this silly girl was quite pretty!
"Then do you want to come home with me? I'll let you watch every day, watch to your heart's content!"
Ning Yan reacted and glared at him, "Pfft! You pervert, who wants to go home with you!"
"What's wrong with coming home with me? I didn't say anything else, so how am I a pervert? Besides, I don't smell bad!"
With that, he even pulled up his sleeve and sniffed it. It was freshly washed and still smelled of laundry detergent.
He looked up, and the incredibly beautiful young girl had already walked away.
Fan Dahu scratched his head. He hadn't said anything wrong, so why was she angry?
Shaking his head, Fan Dahu dejectedly returned home. On the way, he met Bai Dagang, "Brother Hu, are we still meeting at the usual time tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? Not going tomorrow. I haven't worked in the fields for half a year. Starting tomorrow, I'm earning work points." With that, he walked away without looking back.
Bai Dagang was confused. What was Brother Hu up to now?
Only Fan Dahu himself knew what he was up to!
At this moment, he was asking his family about Ning Yan.
"Did a new Zhiqing come to the team?"
Fan Lao Er said, "Six just arrived the day before yesterday. I think none of them are cut out for work, especially that Ning Zhiqing, the prettiest one. She only weeded a small patch of land in half a day!
Whoever marries a woman like that will be unlucky!"
"Her surname is Ning, what does she look like?"
Fan Lao Er's wife said, "She's easy to recognize. I've never seen anyone as beautiful as her in my life, but you can tell at a glance that she doesn't know how to manage a household. Today, she wore a white top and a pair of small leather shoes to the fields."
Fan Dahu: That's her then. The one I met earlier was that Ning Zhiqing. So her surname is Ning.
Fan Lao San was clever. Seeing his elder brother constantly asking about the Zhiqing, his eyes rolled around. "Big Brother, you keep asking about the Zhiqing, you haven't fallen for that Ning Zhiqing, have you?"
Fan Dahu: "Hurry up and eat, eat. This afternoon, I'm also going to the fields to earn work points."
Fan Cheng, Li Xiuhua, and their sons exchanged glances. This was truly a rare occurrence. When had their good eldest son (Big Brother) ever voluntarily gone to the fields to work?
Even the Captain couldn't persuade him. Today, the sun really rose from the west!
No, the sun didn't rise from the west; maybe what Lao San said was true—the eldest son really had fallen for that Zhiqing!
Li Xiuhua wasn't foolish either. Her mind quickly turned, and she understood her eldest son's intentions. She had something she wanted to ask, but she was afraid her eldest son would snap at her, so she could only hold her tongue.
"Right, right, hurry and eat. This afternoon, I'll also go to the fields to weed."
The sons were speechless. Their mother hadn't earned work points in the fields for a long time either. Were they all going crazy today?
In the afternoon, Ning Yan continued to work in the bean field assigned to her, only the person next to her had changed.
"Ning Zhiqing, what a coincidence, we meet again."
The villagers not far away all widened their eyes. Had Ning Zhiqing just arrived and already been targeted by Fan Dahu, the village bully?
