Feng Shishi didn’t eat fatty pig’s trotters before because she thought they were too greasy. However, the braised pig’s trotters that Lu Baiwei prepared with spices were not greasy at all and were very delicious.

Along with the delicious dishes, Feng Shishi ate more than two bowls of rice and drank a bowl of chicken soup.

She has a small stomach and can't eat much.

It was the first time she had eaten so much since she came to Xiangyang Brigade. She was so full that she had to sit on the stool and couldn’t move.

It’s easier to be satisfied after eating, and she felt that Li Ruicai was not so annoying anymore.

"Come with me to Fangfang's place later. I promise to be the godmother of Fangfang's child."

Feng Shishi was always indifferent to him. Even when he was helping with work in the fields, she wanted to get rid of him and seemed to not want to have anything to do with him.

Now that she took the initiative to ask him to go with her to see Liu Cuifang from the next brigade, Li Rui's eyes lit up.

He saw hope.

"Then I'll go pay your medical bills first, and I'll go with you later."

Feng Shishi no longer insisted on paying for the medical expenses and agreed to let Li Rui help her pay for the treatment.

Li Ruicai was so happy that he helped her give the money like a fool, and took advantage of the lunch break to go to the next brigade with Feng Shishi.

Looking at their backs as they left, Zhou Yanfeng shrugged: "Isn't that it?"

"I guess I won't be so stubborn and think about you, Brother Ting, anymore."

He Ting also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Lu Baiwei felt that it might not be as simple as they thought.

At the dinner table, He Ting was picking out fish bones for her, and Feng Shishi kept looking at him.

Li Ruicai is more like her second best choice.

To put it simply, it is a spare tire.

If Feng Shishi has no better choice, she may accept Li Ruicai in the end, but this process will be very long.

She had reminded people last time that persimmons are cold and eating cold things would have serious consequences for people with weak spleen and stomach. She thought that Feng Shishi would have a rift with Liu Cuifang.

I don’t know what happened, but after going to the next brigade, Feng Shishi became the godmother of Liu Cuifang’s unborn child.

"I asked Zhao Lingling, and she told me that in addition to giving Feng Zhiqing dried persimmons, Liu Cuifang also gave her a large bag of honeysuckle and chrysanthemums soaked in rock sugar water."

"And Feng Shishi went to Liu Cuifang's house on the second day of the Chinese New Year. When she came back, she told Zhao Lingling that Liu Cuifang was so nice that she specially cooked a pot of mutton for her."

He Ting asked Lu Baiwei: "Mutton is a warming tonic. What's wrong with eating mutton?"

"After eating the mutton, she said that Feng Shishi had a weak constitution and was suffering from internal heat, so she asked her mother-in-law to cook mung bean soup."

Who eats mung bean soup in the middle of winter?

Thinking back, Liu Cuifang herself fell into an inescapable vortex just because she had eaten the mung bean soup cooked by Zhao Yongsen’s mother.

Lu Baiwei told He Ting: "The heat expands and the cold stays. A person with a strong constitution may be able to withstand it, but Feng Shishi has a weak constitution and a weak spleen and stomach. If she doesn't eat properly, she will easily get sick."

"At first I thought I was just being overly suspicious. No matter what Liu Cuifang did, she would never harm Feng Zhiqing."

"Once is a coincidence, twice or three times is not a coincidence."

He Ting continued: "Weiwei, I know you are soft-hearted, but what kind of person is Feng Shishi?"

"If you say Liu Cuifang harmed her, not only will she not listen, she will also blame you."

Not only will he blame his wife, he might even turn around and tell Liu Cuifang what Weiwei said.

Thinking that Lu Baiwei was pregnant, He Ting didn't want her to be involved in these things.

What's more, there is no evidence for this matter. It's just giving Feng Shishi something to eat, and there seems to be nothing wrong on the surface.

Liu Cuifang's evil intentions are hidden deep inside.

But we cannot help but be on guard against Liu Cuifang.

He Ting thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Zhou Yanfeng and Zhao Lingling to help keep an eye on it. Feng Shishi and Zhao Lingling have a very good relationship now. She will tell Zhao Lingling about anything Liu Cuifang sends."

"If Liu Cuifang has bad intentions in the future and there is evidence that she wants to harm Feng Shishi, Zhou Yanfeng and I will go back and talk to Feng Shishi and remind her to be on guard against Liu Cuifang."

This is all we can do!

Indeed, Lu Baiwei had no evidence that Liu Cuifang was harming Feng Shishi.

This was just an inference she made based on various coincidences and her understanding of medical principles.

With everything on the surface, Liu Cuifang can be said to have acted as a coincidence, she was just concerned about her good friend.

Let's look back at the situation...

Liu Cuifang had been corresponding with Li Ruicai, but she felt that her experience was shameful and did not dare to tell Li Ruicai what had happened in the letter.

Feng Shishi was a person who could not keep a secret, and as the two of them walked to the Red Flag Brigade next door, she told everyone everything about Liu Cuifang's experience.

"Li Ruicai, you don't know how evil-hearted that mother and son are. They didn't treat Fangfang well at all. They thought that since the matter was done, Fangfang was their family member and couldn't escape. Fangfang was pregnant, but they still forced her to work in the fields."

"It was only when I carried the things to see Fangfang that the mother and son looked happy if they didn't act too harshly in front of me."

"When I first came to Xiangyang Brigade, I almost got bullied like Fangfang. That old lady surnamed Shen was very mean. Her son already had a wife, but she forced his wife to divorce her son, and she plotted to get me together with her son."

What, Shishi has been plotted against?

After hearing what Feng Shishi said, Li Rui clenched his fists in anger.

Feng Shishi continued, "At that time, He Ting didn't care about me, and Zhou Yanfeng didn't care about me either. I almost fell into the trap of old lady Shen."

"It was Fangfang. When they were tying me up, she called the militia captain and he rescued me."

"So Fangfang is my benefactor and my best sister. I took you to find Fangfang because I wanted to show that mother and son that the children of our compound are not easy to mess with, so that they would be nicer to Fangfang."

Li Ruicai sympathized with Liu Cuifang's situation.

He didn't understand why He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng were so cold and didn't offer a helping hand when they all came from the same compound.

When he learned about Liu Cuifang's experience, he felt sympathy, and when he learned about Feng Shishi's experience, he felt heartbroken.

He must protect his beloved girl.

Li Ruicai promised: "Shishi, don't worry, I will definitely support Liu Cuifang."

After all, he is an officer. I don't believe that those people will dare to easily take control of Liu Cuifang after seeing him coming to their house.

It would have been great if she could have been rescued from this suffering, but unfortunately Liu Cuifang was pregnant.

Women are like this. Once they become pregnant with a man's child, they have to soften their heart.

Why!

Feng Shishi persuaded Li Ruicai in various ways to support Liu Cuifang. She really regarded Liu Cuifang as a friend.

But she didn't know that her good friend Liu Cuifang was eating the peach cakes that Feng Shishi had sent her two days ago with her mother-in-law Zhou Xiaohong.

"Fangfang, Feng Zhiqing is coming in a couple of days, you can keep playing the victim."

"Every time you acted pitiful, she would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy delicious food and send it to you. For example, during the Chinese New Year, when you acted pitiful and said I wouldn't stew chicken for you, she brought all the chocolate-covered dried mangoes that her friends had sent to her. We didn't need to buy any delicious food for the Chinese New Year. We only needed to buy some peanuts, melon seeds and other fried food to serve on the plate."

"This Feng Zhiqing is too stupid. He believes everything you say."

Zhou Xiaohong ate peach cakes until her mouth was covered with cake foam: "She didn't think about it. Although the baby in your belly is not my son's, you and my son got married and we are a family."

"My son will follow you to the big city to eat commercial grain and enjoy a good life. How can I, as a mother-in-law, bear to torture you?"
