But thinking about it, with her parents-in-law gone, her husband gone, and no children, she has no hope left. It's no wonder that her personality and temperament won't change!

However, Yang Jinhua could never bring herself to say these words.

She was a widow, but Wang Laowu was not a widower.

There's a tigress in his family too!

Faced with Wang Guihua's questioning, Yang Jinhua blushed and refused to give the reason.

Upon seeing this, everyone knew that what she had said before must have been a lie by Widow Yang, who was making baseless accusations.

Immediately, a great deal of discussion arose.

Normally, idle men and women would gossip and boast endlessly.

But it's never gotten this serious before.

Because his youngest son was also involved, Tan Dingguo turned his head and glanced at the back of Ning Jing's head, who was seemingly crying and resting on Wang Guihua's shoulder.

Then he said to Widow Yang, "You don't work properly and you gossip, so I'll deduct ten days' work points from you and give the compensation to Hongxing's wife. Do you accept that?"

Yang Jinhua was naturally extremely dissatisfied, but she had no choice but to accept it unless she brought Wang Laowu back into the picture.

Bringing Tan Qingshan into the discussion just now was a mistake.

Yang Jinhua wasn't stupid; she knew that Tan Dingguo was on Ning Jing's side. If she continued to argue, she would only suffer the consequences, so she could only grit her teeth and accept it.

"Alright, everyone, disperse now!"

If you don't work properly again and don't finish the work by the designated day, Ah Niu will write it all down and deduct three days' work points from everyone.

Seeing that Yang Jinhua was silent, Tan Dingguo glared at the crowd still gathered around him and said loudly.

Production team leader Wu Tieniu followed behind him and responded with a "Yes" when he heard the village chief's words.

After hearing what the village chief and production team leader said, no one dared to stay there anymore.

With a "whoosh," they scattered hastily to get to work in the fields.

Ning Jing was originally planning to go to the fields with Sister Guihua and Xiuhua when she heard Tan Dingguo lift his foot and tap his pipe against the sole of his shoe.

"Red Star's wife, wait a moment. Come to the brigade headquarters after lunch."

After saying this to Ning Jing with a complicated expression, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Xiuhua, you should also come to the brigade headquarters with your sister-in-law."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and left with the production team leader.

Wu Tieniu gave the two of them a deep look, then followed them away.

Ning Jing could see that Wu Tieniu's eyes held both envy and sympathy.

"sister in law?"

Upon hearing the village chief's words, Xiuhua panicked for a moment.

Even though they had listened to their uncle's advice, the thought of their eldest brother's sacrifice made them wonder what would become of their family.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiuhua couldn't help but grab Ning Jing's sleeve, looking at her with panic in her eyes.

Just now, Fu Xiuhua subconsciously wanted to lean on Ning Jing.

"It's alright, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."

“Your sister-in-law is right. As long as you stand up for yourself, there’s no obstacle you can’t overcome.”

Wang Guihua patted Xiuhua's arm and looked at Ning Jing with a smile.

"Sister-in-law Guihua, thank you so much for your help these past few days!"

When Ning Jing saw Wang Guihua's hurried appearance, she knew that Wang Guihua must have known that she had a conflict with Widow Yang, which was why she rushed over.

Remembering that Siya had boiled water that morning, and that everyone had only drunk a bowl of water before leaving, she took the opportunity to ask Siya and found out.

Since she fell ill these past few days, the sweet potato porridge she ate last night was saved up by Wang Guihua's family for their children.

We've been out of food for ages!
