The main reason is that Ningxia's appearance is really rare, and even a big belly cannot hide her rare beauty.
She just felt that she looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen her.
Ningxia was surprised to see Minister Zheng's wife staring at her, but she remained calm.
Ren Jingxiao was much more straightforward. Feeling her gaze, he pulled Ningxia behind him.
If he hadn't noticed that there was no malice in this person's eyes, he would have left without caring about anything.
"What are you doing? Come in." Minister Zheng didn't know what they were doing. He moved a stool over for them and asked them to sit down.
Ren Jingxiao politely pulled Ningxia to sit down. Because Minister Zheng's wife looked strange, Ren Jingxiao planned to leave shortly after sitting down.
"Minister Zheng, we have to go somewhere else, so we'll go back first." Ren Jingxiao is not good at building relationships with others, he just needs to do his job well.
"What Minister Zheng? This isn't the Ministry of Transport. You can just call me Uncle Zheng. Why are you leaving? Stay for lunch." Minister Zheng frowned and became unhappy when he heard they were leaving.
"Yes, it's a rare occasion that you've been here for a while, and your Uncle Zheng is free at home, so he must stay for dinner." Minister Zheng's wife had already guessed who the two people were from her uncle Zheng.
As the adopted son of the youngest son of the Shen family, not only should he be treated well, but also because of the relationship between the Shen family and theirs, he should be treated well. As for that female comrade, let's put that aside for now.
"No, Uncle Zheng, maybe next time!" Ren Jingxiao still politely refused. He didn't know whether Minister Zheng's wife was good or bad, but she was a little weird anyway.
Minister Zheng was still trying to persuade them to stay when several shrill cries were heard from outside the yard.
Ren Jingxiao and Ningxia were stunned and didn't do anything. Minister Zheng and his wife looked at each other, sighed, and walked out.
"Shall we go back first?" Ren Jingxiao glanced outside. With his height advantage and amazing hearing, he roughly knew what was going on.
He looked at the chaos outside and thought about taking Xia Xia back first. She was pregnant, what if she was bumped into by people coming and going?
"Okay." Ningxia knew that Ren Jingxiao was worried about her, and she didn't have that kind of special curiosity.
"Minister, please save us, they are going to force us to death!" A thin woman was crying while holding an even thinner child. A group of people around were pointing and talking, but no one dared to say anything for fear of getting into trouble.
"Force you to death? It's you who are going to force me to death!" A ragged woman shouted, followed by a group of listless people with injuries on their faces. Judging from their eyebrows and eyes, some of them looked very similar. They should be from the same family.
Minister Zheng looked at these people in silence. They kept talking about the same things over and over again. The Song and Fu families had lost their jobs and houses, so some returned to the countryside, while others stayed in rental houses. They could have made a living.
Who knew that this year would be so difficult? They returned to the countryside but didn't work in the brigade and didn't get any food.
The little money they had saved was used to buy food, and the two families, who were used to a stable life, soon spent the little money they had left.
If people were like those in the countryside, with one meal full and one meal hungry, it would be enough to wait until the summer harvest next year to distribute the grain.
But they were not united to begin with, and as their brothers enjoyed a good life in the city, they gradually became crazy.
At first they still wanted to save some face, but later they didn't care about anything anymore. The two elderly people were instigated to do whatever they wanted.
He comes to make trouble every few days, and every time he comes, he eats and drinks for free. Later, he wants to move in directly, under the pretext of supporting the elderly. It never ends.
Minister Zheng tried to persuade them at first, but later he got annoyed and drove them out. However, they had reasonable grounds to support the elderly and no one could interfere.
Minister Zheng didn't want to care about it anymore. The family compound was in a mess because of these two families. He thought of letting Song Dagen and Fu Erwa move out after the New Year.
Although we wanted to subsidize them, the family compound was always in a mess, and everyone had complaints after a long time.
"Minister Zheng, please save us. We have no food at home, but they still won't give in. Today they even beat Xiaobao." Fu Erwa's wife cried while holding a child.
Her husband had originally said that he would entertain their family's benefactor later, but she knew there was nothing to eat at home.
She had no choice but to secretly sell a bracelet her mother left her and buy some food.
She thought that those people had just been there yesterday, so they would be safe for at least two days. But those people were like dogs with noses. As soon as she got home, she saw them rummaging through her house and Xiaobao was pushed to the ground by them.
When they saw what was in her hand, they came over like crazy to grab it. How could Fu Erwa be a match for a group of people? He was beaten so badly that he didn't even have the chance to fight back.
His things were stolen, and Fu Erwa was angry. These people were not his family, but his enemies.
He hit his youngest brother with the stick in his hand like a madman.
Those people were frightened by his ruthlessness, and reacted by fighting back even more crazily. Several neighbors used to come to persuade them, but later they got tired of the two families coming to make trouble every day.
But this time the situation was too serious and it seemed that someone was about to die. There was no other way. Everyone rushed over to separate the people and some people even ran to call the minister.
Fu Erwa got furious and snatched back the things he had bought and guarded them tightly. Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, his wife ran to the minister's house with the child in her arms.
Fu Erwa knew that the situation had gone too far and that they could no longer stay in the family compound. He grabbed his belongings and headed to the minister's house. He was very grateful to Minister Zheng for taking them in, and he didn't want to embarrass him.
"What are you doing? It's New Year's Day and you have no idea what's going on?" Minister Zheng looked at these noisy people and his face turned sour no matter what difficulties they had.
"Minister, we will move out of the staff housing compound next year." Fu Erwa closed his eyes and opened them again with hatred in his eyes.
"Oh!" Minister Zheng nodded. As for the conflict between the two families, he no longer wanted to ask about it. After all, each family had its own troubles.
"What, move out? How can that be? Where are you going to live if you move out? Even if you move out, you have to give some compensation for leaving this house empty, right?" Fu Erwa's mother initially thought about moving out, so what should they do?
The factory over there also has some opinions about Erwa. Now he has lost his house and maybe he will lose his job next year.
Then Fu Erwa would have to go back to the countryside like them? How could that be possible? They still depended on him for support!
But I quickly realized that they could ask for money. What could be more important than money?
Next year, she would go to the factory and make trouble. When the factory also wanted to fire him, she would continue to demand compensation. With the money in hand, what would their family have to worry about in the future?
Her eyes lit up when she thought of this. She was so smart.
