Chapter 68: Was I Bullied?
"Ah? This is not good!"
Sang Ning said this, but his body stopped and turned around to look.
The young man half-closed his eyes, and the towel was placed on his stomach, blocking it so that no one could see.
Tsk~~
It doesn’t matter, I still have chest muscles!
"Why is it bad? Didn't you help me before?" he asked again.
It’s different before and now.
I can wipe him openly in the open air, but the atmosphere feels wrong when I close the door.
Okay, Sang Ning had enough of the sight and turned away.
"It's just help between relatives." He said quickly again.
"I'll let Jintang come over!"
"Jintang—Jintang—"
Jintang had just returned, and when he heard Sang Ning calling, he slipped into the main house.
Why is this kid running?
Sang Ning ran to the main house to catch him. She now particularly liked this little champion.
But the little thing suddenly became as hard to catch as a pig during Chinese New Year.
"Fourth Aunt, if you have something to say, just keep it to yourself. Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
Hey! You haven't even grown all your hair yet and you're still not allowed to touch me!
Sonning had to catch him.
The two ran around the house.
Jinxin and Jinxiu thought they were playing, so they also ran away shouting.
"Fourth Aunt, come and catch me!"
Sang Ning grabbed Jin Xin, but Jin Xiu couldn't catch her.
She found that Jinxiu was more energetic than Jinxin, and she could run as fast as Jintang at the age of three.
A promising athlete!
Taking advantage of the chaos, Jintang ran out again.
Sang Ning yelled, "Huo Jintang! I told you to hide from the little girl, not from your aunt!"
A shout came from the side room: "Huo Jintang! Come in——"
The sound was not loud, but it made Jintang behave himself immediately.
Jintang rushed into Huo Changan's house as if he was avoiding a flood or a beast.
"Why don't you listen to Fourth Aunt?"
"No, I didn't refuse to listen."
"What happened to your face?"
Huo Changan's oppressive look turned into worry.
Jintang applied skin-growing powder on his face, and Sang Ning pasted a leaf of Tripterygium wilfordii on the outside of his face.
The three-bill grass was moved into the space, and its leaves grew much larger than those outside, directly covering half of the little face.
Anyway, the matter had been resolved, so Jintang told Huo Changan what had happened.
Huo Changan was speechless for a long time after listening.
Then he said, "You need to learn some kung fu so that you can protect yourself and your mother and aunts in the future."
Fourth Aunt said the same thing.
But Fourth Aunt only asked him to protect herself.
It’s not the same as Fourth Uncle’s.
"Fourth Uncle, we've driven away several families since we arrived. Will we be ostracized even more by others?"
"No. You've already made a warning, they won't dare to provoke us again. At most, they won't have anything to do with us.
But you have to remember, if you have the talent and the ability, they will come to you on their own.”
"The most important thing is to make yourself stronger. Don't waste time on useless things."
"Go find two sticks. Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you kung fu."
Jintang was very obedient. Although he didn't like practicing martial arts, he knew that he had to practice now.
Protect your family.
Support the Huo family.

The old lady came back and was not in a good mood.
Uncle Huo didn't even let her in.
"Your second uncle and two cousins were assigned to open up wasteland, and your second aunt doesn't recognize our relationship."
"But he's a good person, so if you don't want to acknowledge him, then don't acknowledge him."
As long as everyone is alive, that's enough.
For dinner, Xie Yurou made corn pancakes. Sang Ning took out all the eggs and cooked them, more than fifty in total.
It’s the first day of settling down, so let’s celebrate by eating something nice.
She also made some green vegetable porridge and put a handful of soybeans in it.
Thanks to the villagers of Lujia Village, who gave her a bunch of random gifts, so she didn't have to explain.
The family still gathered together for dinner, and they set up a table with wooden boards in Huo Changan and Sang Ning's house.
"Sister-in-law, why can't I cook as deliciously as you?"
Xie Yurou ate the pancake, but she felt that it lacked flavor.
Not as sweet as the one made by Sangning.
That’s because she used water from the Moon Spring, not the Spirit Spring water!
Sang Ning could only comfort her that it was a matter of heat, and that she could just do it a few more times.
While eating, I heard someone outside calling, "Auntie."
The whole family quickly hid the pancakes and eggs, leaving only the wild vegetable porridge.
The person who came was Qiao Dangui, the second daughter-in-law of my second uncle.
Her face was pale, her hands were tucked in, and she first apologized to the old lady with a smile.
"My mother is in a bad mood, please don't be angry, aunt. We are a family no matter where we go, and we should take care of each other."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the wild vegetable porridge and he licked it unconsciously.
Li Yuzhi stood up and gave way to the wooden block.
"Sister-in-law, sit down and talk."
Then he gave her the remaining half bowl of wild vegetable porridge.
Qiao Dangui finished the drink in two gulps.
The beans at the bottom smelled so fragrant that her eyes became red.
"Aunt, cousin, we have a hard life!"
"Dad and my husband were assigned to open up wasteland. Not only is the food they earn every day not enough to eat, but their bodies can't handle it after just a few days. They're definitely not going to survive if this continues!"
"Mother can take the food without Auntie, but there are children at home...Auntie, I am shamelessly asking for cornmeal."
Qiao Dangui covered her face and cried.
The old lady and Li Yuzhi didn't know much about the second daughter-in-law. They had dealt with the eldest daughter-in-law before when they returned to their hometown in Pingyang to worship their ancestors.
The eldest daughter-in-law is kind-hearted and polite, and the old lady has a good impression of her.
So he asked, "Why are you here? Where is Cuiyu?"
Qiao Dangui was stunned and his expression became complicated.
"What's wrong? Is Cuiyu in trouble?"
"Aunt, sister-in-law, you are not feeling well." Qiao Dangui was vague.
Li Yuzhi was a little anxious, "Is he sick?"
She and Mo Cuiyu are both eldest daughters-in-law. Although they have only met once or twice, their personalities are compatible and they get along very well.
When he returned home for the second time, Mo Cuiyu was pregnant, had no appetite, and was thin and haggard.
Because she had just given birth to Jintang, the maidservant around her had some experience and learned how to make a cold drink that is good for the stomach and helps digestion.
So she asked the maid to teach the maid around Cuiyu.
That day, Mo Cuiyu let her stay at the Huo Mansion. The two of them slept in the same bed and talked until the late night before falling asleep with a reluctant heart.
When she first learned that her second uncle's family was also exiled here, she was most worried about Mo Cuiyu.
"Well, I'm not sick, I'm just not in a good mood." Qiao Dangui hummed and didn't want to say anything.
The more she acted like this, the more anxious Li Yuzhi became, and she also began to dislike this Qiao.
Conflicts are most likely to arise between sisters-in-law.
Mo Cuiyu has a good temper, could it be that she was bullied?
"Tell me clearly, what happened to her?"
"Sister-in-law, please stop asking."
Xie Yurou was impatient, "Didn't you just say we were a family? Why are you hiding it? If you don't want to talk about it, please go back!"
Don't delay their meals!
