"Then you said you would take care of us. When I said I wanted something, you started complaining about being poor. Hongying, you obviously don't want to help us, but you still want us to remember your kindness. We don't have such hypocritical relatives in our family."

"Auntie." Li Hongying gritted her teeth. To prove her sincerity, it seemed she had to do something. "Auntie, don't be sad. I, Li Hongying, am sincere to you. Just wait, I'll bring you fine grains tonight."

"Yes, I hope you keep your word."

Li Hongying left the cowshed with a chill running down her spine.

Luo's mother said to Luo's father, "Luo Aiqing and Li Baojun conspired to frame us, and their daughter has come to curry favor with us. Zhenhua, I always feel that there is something fishy about this. She has no reason to do this."

"Perhaps her parents are down on their luck now, and she has no relatives left, so she wants to get along with us. But I will absolutely not agree. Being bitten by a poisonous snake once is enough; it can't happen a second time."

Mr. Luo hated what Luo Aiqing and Li Baojun had done to his family. He removed the so-called filter of kinship and told himself again that Li Hongying was not his niece, but their family's enemy.

Mrs. Luo said, "She's your niece, and you and I have different opinions about her. I feel she's up to no good. Let's see what she's up to first, and we need to tell Jingyan about this as soon as possible."

"Siqi, she said she'll be back tonight. Let's see how she behaves. If she really comes, we'll improvise and find a way to cut off all contact with her. We'll also tell Jingyan and the others to be careful around Li Hongying."

"Um."

That same morning, Zhuang Feifei couldn't find Pang Hu and was a little discouraged, but life had to go on.

She wants to go to university in Beijing, do business there, buy a courtyard house, and become the richest person in the country.

So, we need to start saving up now to buy a courtyard house and start a business in the future.

She has a lot of supplies in her inventory, and selling those supplies is the most direct and fastest way to make money.

After breakfast, she prepared to take an oxcart to the county town.

Luo Jingyan guessed that she was going to the county town to sell supplies. The female lead had arrived, and influenced by her halo, the black market in the county town should also be open. She decided to go and try her luck.

Although she doesn't have the protagonist's halo and can't escape danger in unbelievable ways, she now has Fat Tiger as her super bodyguard, which increases her chances of successfully escaping danger.

She boarded the oxcart behind Zhuang Feifei and greeted her.

Upon arriving in the county town, Zhuang Feifei indeed went to look for the black market.

She quietly followed behind Zhuang Feifei, maintaining a suitable distance so that Zhuang Feifei wouldn't notice her, but also wouldn't lose track of her.

It has to be said that the female lead is very lucky. In just over ten minutes, she found the black market, and it had already started operating again, so she could sell things as soon as she arrived.

Zhuang Feifei found a secluded corner, entered the space, dressed herself up as an old woman, carried a bamboo basket, and went into the black market to sell things.

After she went in, Luo Jingyan also went into the space to put on makeup, still dressed as a young man, and carried a basket on her back.

She entered the black market and found Zhuang Feifei selling rice and pork. The female protagonist was lucky; by following her, she might be able to contact the black market boss.

She herself was selling rice and pork. More than an hour later, she had sold out of everything in her basket, and no one had come to contact the female protagonist. It seems that the female protagonist's luck was just so-so.

After Zhuang Feifei sold her goods and left the black market, Luo Jingyan also returned to the Victory Brigade without lingering.

Zhuang Feifei left the black market and went to the scrap yard. She searched the scrap yard for a long time but couldn't find a single so-called "treasure".

She was very angry and frustrated.

Why did other time-traveling women find treasures, but she didn't have such good luck? Feeling depressed, she returned to the educated youth settlement, probably unable to be happy all day.

Li Hongying went to the cowshed in the morning, and Luo Jingyan came in the afternoon.

She brought some mung bean cakes she had made last time to Luo's parents. "Mom and Dad, these are homemade. Try them and see if they're good. I'll also take some to Grandma Zhang."

When she brought back mung bean cakes from Grandma Zhang, both her mother and father praised her for her increasingly better cooking skills. Her father said, "These mung bean cakes are sweet but not greasy, and have a unique texture. I really like them."

"Eat more if you like it," Luo Jingyan said with a smile.

While eating mung bean cakes, Luo's mother told Luo Jingyan about Li Hongying's visit.

Luo Jingyan was extremely shocked by this. First, Li Hongying was reported to the countryside by a clandestine force, and the location of the countryside was in the village next door, which was only adjacent to her own Shengli Brigade. Who exactly was this clandestine force? Did they have a grudge against the Li family and deliberately want to punish Li Hongying, or did they deliberately arrange for Li Hongying to be by her side so that they would hurt each other?

Luo Jingyan was unable to solve this mystery for the time being.

The second question is, why did Li Hongying, who was sent to the countryside in Taohua Brigade, marry into Shengli Brigade, and why did she have to go out of her way to please her parents?

Given the current situation, and considering the hatred between the Li family and their family, Li Hongying should be avoiding Mr. and Mrs. Luo like the plague, but the reality is quite the opposite.

So, did Li Hongying deliberately marry into the Shengli Brigade to make it easier for her to contact her parents?

In the original book, the female protagonist tries to please her parents in order to use them to expand her career. Li Hongying's approach to pleasing her parents is exactly the same as the female protagonist's.

Suddenly, a bold guess came to her mind: the current Li Hongying was not the same Li Hongying as before. Like the female protagonist, she was a prophet who knew that her parents would be exonerated and return to the city, and regain their previous jobs. She wanted to please her parents so that she could get their help in her career after returning to the city.

So, does Li Hongying possess any special abilities?

Mrs. Luo said, "She said she wanted to take care of us, but I didn't want her to come here again, so I deliberately asked her for a dozen or so catties of fine grains. She said her husband's family didn't have that much fine grain, so I said a few catties would be fine, plus a quilt. She said she didn't have many quilts at home either, which was obviously hypocritical. Later, under my pressure, she had no choice but to agree to bring us a few catties of fine grains that night. When she agreed, I saw that she was gritting her teeth, and she seemed quite embarrassed. Jingyan, why do you think she did that?"

After listening to Luo's mother's words, Luo Jingyan was certain that Li Hongying did not have a large amount of hidden resources, so she definitely did not have any spatial abilities.

If there were space, it's impossible that they couldn't even take out a dozen or so kilograms of refined grains.

Luo Jingyan couldn't tell her mother her suspicions: "Mom, there's no smoke without fire. She must have some ulterior motive. Let's find a way to stop contacting her."

Mother Luo said, "If she brings fine grains tonight, and I ask her for other things, she will eventually give up. It won't take many times before she dares not come here anymore."

Luo Jingyan nodded, agreeing with her mother's method. However, she had already thought of a faster and more effective way to stop Li Hongying from bothering her parents again.
