"Never mind! Little sister, did you check? Did she really not go in?"
After Yang left, Sister-in-law Feng asked Ruan Meng.
"If she really did touch something, I definitely won't let it go so easily. At the very least, I'll bring it up in front of my father-in-law and have a talk with him!"
Ruan Meng understood that since Yang Shi had no chance to go in, Feng Da Sao couldn't do anything either.
But she can speak the truth and help the "outsiders" like the Ruan family. Ruan Meng can see that Sister-in-law Feng does this not because she is giving back to the Feng family, but because Sister-in-law Feng is a fair and upright person.
This is one of the reasons why Ruan Meng thought of her first when she was looking for someone to help collect oysters.
"Sister-in-law Feng, what kind of person is this Yang?"
The elder sister-in-law couldn't help but ask.
Sister-in-law Feng sighed, "She's petty, just like her husband, Wang Gang."
“Wang Gang grew up in the village and didn’t have a good relationship with his parents. Later, something happened in the family and both his parents died.”
"Wang Gang is usually very stubborn and can't stand being taken advantage of, and this Yang woman isn't exactly an honest person either. They often clash with the villagers, but my father-in-law takes pity on her and sometimes helps mediate..."
"Wang Gang was born and raised in Fengjia Village, while Yang married into the family from Zhengjia Village. You've heard of Zhengjia Village, right?"
Ruan Meng exchanged glances with her sister-in-law and second brother; they had heard far more than just that...
Like father, like son; the village chief of Zhengjia Village is no good!
Sister-in-law Feng reminded her, "I haven't heard that she's gone back to Zhengjia Village recently. But Zhengjia Village..."
"If the seafood sales go smoothly, the villagers' lives will improve. It's hard to say about other villages, but at least Zhengjia Village, they certainly won't be happy."
Ruan Meng asked, "Do they have a grudge against our Fengjia Village?"
Sister-in-law Feng shook her head, "It's not that we have a grudge, it's just that they bully the weak and fear the strong!"
"They're adjacent to Dong County, so why don't we dare cause them trouble? Why do we dare to fight back against them?"
"They're just taking advantage of their numbers, and they're deliberately stepping on us because we're old, weak, women, children, and poorer!"
“In the past, when villagers had disagreements or conflicts over water resources, they would often have the whole village surround them and beat them up!”
"In the past, when my father-in-law tried to mediate a fight, he was pushed down and broke his leg, spending several months in bed. Only when the county magistrate intervened would they even listen to him!"
Ruan Meng asked detailed questions, and she understood the situation better.
According to Sister-in-law Feng, this Yang woman is no kind of person. As for her attention to their family, is it out of jealousy and curiosity, or is it related to Zhengjia Village...?
Yang wouldn't say, and it's unclear for now, but Ruan Meng is certain of one thing: the other party definitely has ill intentions.
Realizing that once their own family and Fengjia Village's lives improved, conflicts with Zhengjia Village were inevitable...
Ruan Meng was actually grateful to Yang, at least for making her more aware and allowing her to prepare in advance before problems arose.
The eldest sister-in-law stayed behind to watch the house with Ruan Meng, while the second brother went up the mountain to help. They worked until late at night before the Feng family finished making two hundred food boxes.
Ruan Meng picked a handful of mugwort, crushed it with an iron millstone, and poured it into flour.
After kneading with spring water, pinch off small lumps, drop them into boiling water, add salt and Sichuan peppercorn powder before serving, and ladle out bowls of lump soup.
Feng Yun and Feng Xi were delivering lunchboxes to the Ruan family so that Xiao Kai could pick up the goods and load them up at the same time.
Ruan Meng served the two of them two bowls and then told them to take four more bowls back with them.
Feng Yun and Feng Xi were embarrassed, so Ruan Meng explained, "It's not expensive, it just used some rice flour, and the mugwort was picked from the mountain."
How can flour not be precious?
But after spending a long time with the Ruan family, Feng Yun didn't like to be coy. When Ruan Meng said that she had already prepared food for them and that they must be hungry after working all night, she specially made a late-night snack for everyone.
Feng Yun and Feng Xi then took the food away.
Before leaving, Ruan Meng grabbed two handfuls of dried banana chips and gave them to the two of them.
"This is for Jiajia and Yangyang."
Ruan Meng smiled and said that every time she went to the village chief's house, the two children would enthusiastically bring her a stool.
Feng Yun and Feng Xi recognized the banana chips in their hands, but they never expected that they could do it this way.
No wonder, yesterday Ruan Qian brought his third son to buy bananas from them...
The two brothers came up with a way to repay the debt.
The mugwort dumpling soup was unanimously approved by the older brothers and sisters-in-law. The third brother ate three bowls without even looking up, saying:
"Little sister, how about we open a jar together sometime?"
"Everything my sister cooks is delicious!"
