Xiuhua and the others rarely get to go home on their days off, so naturally they wanted to help their sister-in-law with the chores and not let her get so tired.

When Ning Jing heard Xiu Hua say that she had prepared a meal and was calling her home for dinner, her eyes also curved into a smile.

The two of them standing together now look like sisters.

Nourished by love, Ning Jing felt she looked younger than ever.

Although she is not very old to begin with, she is still a bit old compared to Xiuhua, who is only 16 years old!

With Xiuhua's reminder, this time when Ningjing went back, she followed Xiuhua and took a longer route home.

Ning Jing was afraid that Fu Dahua was still waiting there, and she didn't want her good mood to be ruined by some unrelated people.

Ning Jing and Xiu Hua rushed back and had a happy meal with the children, so they didn't go to the farm in the afternoon.

After all, most of the work that needed to be done in the morning had already been completed.

When Fu Hongxing came home from get off work that evening, Ning Jing told him about Xiu Hua's encounter with Fu Da Hua that day.

Fu Hongxing frowned slightly and said to Ning Jing in a deep voice, "I will check where that family is from."

It's not a good idea to keep Xiuhua and the others avoiding Fu Dahua.

The best way, of course, is to grasp Fu Dahua's weaknesses and prevent her from causing trouble.

After serving the meal, Fu Hongxing went out.

He didn't get home until almost an hour later.

"What's wrong?"

The children had already gone back to their own rooms, and even the twins had been taken by Xiuhua and Tiedan to learn to read.

Inside the room, there was only tranquility; she was doing her work with needle and thread.

Hearing the sound of someone pushing open the door, she looked up and saw that Fu Hongxing's expression was somewhat gloomy, so she asked.

Fu Hongxing didn't rush to answer her question. Instead, he stepped forward and put Ning Jing's needlework aside.

Then he sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), embraced her, and said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you not to do needlework at night? It'll hurt your eyes..."

As she spoke, she reached out and touched Ning Jing's eye with some concern.

When Ning Jing felt the heat emanating from Fu Hongxing's fingertips touching her skin, she couldn't help but think of his touch the night before, and her face subconsciously flushed.

"Cough... I only did it for a little while, it's nothing!"

She muttered somewhat awkwardly.

Seeing that Ning Jing actually dared to refute, Fu Hongxing's finger, which was originally touching the corner of her eye, couldn't help but itch and slid down an inch. Then, he bent his finger and pinched the fleshy part of Ning Jing's mouth with his index finger and thumb.

"You only did it for a short while? You've used that excuse so many times already!"

Fu Hongxing ground his back teeth, feeling both distressed and angry, and said resentfully.

Ning Jing felt guilty and dared not resist. Her cheeks were pinched so hard that she looked at Fu Hongxing with pleading eyes, like a hamster.

This completely dispelled Fu Hongxing's depression, which had been in a bad mood.

He chuckled and involuntarily loosened his grip.

However, the smile vanished in an instant, and he immediately put on a stern face, saying, "If you do it again, you'll be severely punished, understand?"

When Ning Jing saw that Fu Hongxing had let go, she hurriedly reached out and rubbed her cheek. Although it didn't hurt, her cheek was sore from being pinched like that!

Upon hearing Fu Hongxing mention severe torture, Ning Jing's cheeks, which had just faded, inexplicably flushed red again.

Unable to recognize him, she spat at him and muttered under her breath, "You scoundrel..."
