That evening, Black Tiger took Fat Tiger into the kitchen. After Fat Tiger finished eating the delicious braised pork, his wounded little heart was finally comforted.
Early in the morning, as soon as Luo Jingyan got up, Jiang Manyue came to chat with her about gossip.
"Jingyan, have you heard? Du Yinan miscarried. I heard she was beaten by that mother and son from the Hu family, and almost died from severe bleeding. Aunt Hu and Hu Sanqiang both know that the child in Du Yinan's belly is not from the Hu family. Ever since she married into the Hu family, Aunt Hu has made her do all the housework, from laundry to cooking. If she doesn't do it, they scold and beat her."
"Who is Du Yinan? We all saw it when she was at the educated youth settlement. She's like a pampered young lady. How could she possibly obediently work for the Hu family? Aunt Hu and Hu Sanqiang wouldn't allow it, and with the other two wives of the Hu family adding fuel to the fire, that mother and son beat Du Yinan to death. They didn't kill Du Yinan, but they did kill the child in her womb, which is a death in itself."
Luo Jingyan said, "The child is the most innocent. It's a pity that he wasn't born into a good family."
"you do not say."
Hu Family
Du Yinan lay half-dead on the kang (a heated brick bed), but Aunt Hu and Hu Sanqiang were overjoyed. Aunt Hu said, "Sanqiang, although this wife wasn't the one you wanted to marry, she's not bad-looking. Now that the bastard in her belly is gone, you don't have to raise someone else's child anymore. From now on, she belongs to you completely. Once she's recovered, you should work hard and do things well, and try to give your mother a big, healthy grandson next year."
Hu Sanqiang scratched his head and chuckled, "Mom, I'll listen to you. I want a child too."
"You want to sleep with her, don't you?"
"Mother, I can't fool you after all."
"I've been through this before, do you think I don't know what you men are thinking?"
Today is Sunday, and Lu Jiu'er has come to study with Luo Changtian again.
Recalling the lively scene outside Lu Jiu'er's house, Luo Changtian asked, "Jiu'er, did your brother get married?"
"No, my neighbor's older brother got married a few days ago. His wife is a female educated youth from the next brigade. My brother doesn't even have a girlfriend yet."
"oh."
Luo Jingyan cleaned up the kang (heated brick bed), let them study on the kang table, and heated the kang to make it very warm.
Lu Jiu'er was so engrossed in learning from Luo Changtian that she didn't rush to the toilet even when she needed to urinate. Later, when she couldn't hold it in any longer, she hurriedly got off the kang (a heated brick bed), put on her shoes, and ran outside.
When she reached the toilet door, she was in such a hurry that she didn't slow down and bumped into someone who suddenly came out of the toilet.
Perhaps because she was small and slender, she was thrown back by the force of the collision and lay on the ground, while the person she collided with was unharmed.
It was a female educated youth who was standing in front of her, looking down at her.
She knew she had been in a hurry and didn't blame the other person, so she got up from the ground and apologized: "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean to bump into you. I needed to pee and ran fast. Are you alright?"
Zhuang Feifei's face was cold and she was very angry: "Is this your reason for bumping into me? I thought you didn't have eyes, running around like that. If you weren't so short, you would have knocked me down. Hey, look how dirty you are, don't get my clothes dirty too."
Zhuang Feifei is like that—bullying the weak and fearing the strong, outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.
Feeling ashamed, Lu Jiu'er quickly explained to her, "Sister, I really didn't mean it, please forgive me."
Zhuang Feifei didn't say anything, just snorted. As she passed by Lu Jiu'er, she gave her a shove. "What's the use of just apologizing? Watch where you're going from now on."
Lu Jiu'er was pushed like that, and the ground was a bit slippery, so she fell to the ground again.
Zhuang Feifei walked away without looking back.
Lu Jiu'er sat on the ground, feeling extremely wronged. She clearly didn't mean it.
After she came out of the toilet, she returned to Luo Jingyan's room. Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian both saw that she was covered in mud and asked her what happened.
“I, I accidentally bumped into a female educated youth outside the outhouse. I told her that I didn’t bump into her on purpose and that I didn’t knock her down, but she wouldn’t listen to my explanation. I fell to the ground once because of the bump, and then she pushed me down again.”
"What does that woman look like, or do you know her name?"
"I don't know her name. But she's very pretty. Although she's not as pretty as Sister Luo, I think she's quite good-looking. She must be new here. I've never seen her before when I came here."
Luo Jingyan knew who it was. It was another female educated youth named Chen Yuling who came with Zhuang Feifei. She was of average appearance and did not resemble the description Lu Jiu'er had given her. So it could only be Zhuang Feifei.
It seems the female lead's character is indeed as terrible as described in the book. In this life, Zhuang Feifei has already offended Lu Jiu'er before even meeting Lu Chengye. It will probably be even more difficult for her to marry Lu Chengye than in the previous life.
Luo Jingyan took out two pieces of fruit candy and gave them to Lu Jiu'er: "Don't be sad, eating a piece of candy will make you feel better."
"Thank you, Sister Luo." Lu Jiu'er took the candy, peeled one open, and took a bite. "Sister, my clothes are covered in mud. I want to go home and change. I'll be going now."
"Okay." Lu Jiu'er saw Zhuang Feifei again in the courtyard. She didn't give Zhuang Feifei a good look, and Zhuang Feifei glared at her in return.
Zhuang Feifei was in a bad mood because of Lu Jiu'er. When she secretly went out to eat in her space, she specially cut a small piece of meat for Pang Hu.
When she feeds Gian, she doesn't put the meat in the cat bowl for him to eat. Instead, she tosses the meat high in the air, making Gian jump up like a dog and open his mouth to catch it.
Her voice was teasing, "Fat Tiger, come and eat some meat."
Fat Tiger saw the piece of meat and, without suspicion, walked over. He caught the piece of meat that Zhuang Feifei tossed into his mouth, bit into it, chewed a few times, and an unusually stimulating spicy sensation quickly filled his entire mouth.
The spiciness was so intense that it even entered its nose and eyes, making it so uncomfortable that tears streamed down its face.
It turns out the woman was just teasing it again; she didn't really want to feed it.
Seeing Fat Tiger jumping around like a madman from the spiciness, Zhuang Feifei laughed while clutching her stomach.
"Oh my, Fat Tiger, I'm so happy! Do you know what I put in the meat? Hahaha, you silly cat, you thought I really wanted to feed you. You don't work, so you can't eat. You're so clueless, but that's what makes it fun."
The spiciness in Fat Tiger's mouth was different from the chili peppers and ginger he had eaten before. This kind of spiciness was so intense that it made his nose and eyes ache.
"What...what did you feed me?"
Zhuang Feifei picked up a tube of wasabi sauce: "This is it, it's even more potent than chili peppers! Hahaha, Fatty Tiger, isn't it fun?"
After Zhuang Feifei teased Pang Hu, her mood instantly improved.
