Being able to return to school felt like a dream to Ning Xiaoshuang.
"Ning Xiaoshuang, I heard you went back to get married. Why are you back in school? Does your husband agree to you going to school?"
“Yu Lili, I’m not married,” Ning Xiaoshuang said with a smile. “My brother arrived, and he won’t let me get married.”
"Huh? Your good-for-nothing brother?"
Yu Lili clearly didn't believe it. "Didn't you only marry him because of him?"
She had heard that her brother owed a lot of money and needed her dowry to pay it off.
“My brother can earn money; he doesn’t need me to pay off his debts.”
Ning Xiaoshuang was displeased when she heard Yu Lili say that her brother was a good-for-nothing.
"What kind of money can your brother make?" Yu Lili said sarcastically. "I'm not trying to criticize you, but you should at least be a little wary of your brother. He's no good."
"Your brother is no good either. You're so busy talking about my brother, but you don't even know what kind of person your brother is."
Ning Xiaoshuang retorted.
Although Yu Lili's brother has a legitimate job, how much he earns has nothing to do with Yu Lili. He always gives his money to his wife and never thinks of buying anything for Yu Lili.
"What did you say?"
"You were the one who mentioned my brother first."
“I’m telling the truth. Your brother is a good-for-nothing, a complete scoundrel.”
"Well, what I said was true, your brother really isn't very good."
"You bitch." Yu Lili slapped her across the face.
Ning Xiaoshuang dodged it directly.
"You still dare to hide?"
"If I don't dodge, you won't be able to hit me. Let me tell you, Yu Lili, if you dare to mess with me again, I won't be polite to you."
Yu Lili was pampered growing up, unlike Ning Xiaoshuang, who was used to farm work from a young age and was very strong.
Ning Xiaoshuang suddenly picked up a pair of chopsticks she had prepared and snapped them in two with a snap.
Yu Lili: "......"
"Are you crazy? Why did you break your own chopsticks?"
Surprisingly, Ning Xiaoshuang, despite her petite appearance, possesses considerable strength.
"It's alright, I prepared three pairs of chopsticks."
"······"
Is this a problem with the chopsticks?
As a result, Yu Lili no longer dared to argue with Ning Xiaoshuang.
Actually, to be honest, what does it matter to her what her brother looks like?
But as a result, Ning Xiaoshuang was ostracized by everyone else in the dormitory.
The other five people huddled together, excluding her.
Ning Xiaoshuang didn't mind at all, and became good friends with Wanwan from the next dormitory.
Cheng Wanwan's family background wasn't good. Although it had been rehabilitated, she still felt somewhat out of place among these people.
He did have a good chat with Ning Xiaoshuang.
"Xiaoshuang, why did you fall out with them so badly?" She was like this because her family's class background was bad, but Ning Xiaoshuang's family was a pure and upright peasant family, so how could they also be ostracized?
"Well, it's a long story, but in short, they were mocking my brother."
"Mocking your brother?"
"My brother is such a good person. Let me tell you, his cooking is delicious."
How delicious is it?
"How should I put it? You might have tried it once and never forget it."
Ning Xiaoshuang grinned and said, "Oh right, I brought my brother's braised meat in my bag. I'll share it with you."
"Then I won't be polite."
Ning Xiaoshuang took out a tightly wrapped package from her own bag.
As soon as it was taken out, the package emitted a fragrance.
"Ning Xiaoshuang, where are you going with this?"
Shouldn't I share it with her?
"What's it to you?" Ning Xiaoshuang wrinkled her nose at her, then picked up the package and left.
Wasn't this supposed to be something to please her? She thought this guy would have improved somewhat, but who knew he still didn't respect her at all. It was infuriating!
Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted over from the neighboring dormitory, so enticing that almost everyone was captivated by it.
"It smells so good, where is this fragrance coming from?"
"Yes, it smells so good."
"Ning Xiaoshuang, where did you buy this meat? It's absolutely delicious."
Cheng Wanwan couldn't help but exclaim, "It tastes even better than the jerky my brother bought me!"
"Yes, that's right, my brother did it himself."
"Your brother is really good at cooking. If he sold this, he could definitely make a lot of money."
"That's true, but my brother... is a bit lazy. He doesn't want to work hard to make money every day. He often says that if you can make money, you should also learn to enjoy it."
Ning Hong did indeed think so; he was here on vacation and was just doing a mission on the side.
That's incredibly tiring to keep working so hard.
Therefore, when someone calculated his daily turnover and then his monthly income, they were immediately shocked by his earnings.
To put this into perspective, it means that by selling steamed buns and braised food for a month, he was able to raise enough money for the three essential items for a wedding. Of course, the most important thing is that he bought the house in less than a month.
If any woman in the family could marry him, it would be like marrying a hen that lays endless golden eggs. Of course, most importantly, Ning Hong is also exceptionally beautiful.
Look at those eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, all so exquisitely stuffed together.
It's 1980 now, and self-employed individuals from that era are often looked down upon.
That's why Ning Hong has been wandering around the city these past few days, trying to see if anything good has happened.
They received a lot of disdainful looks and pitying glances.
Many people have been pointing fingers at Ning Hongze, this self-employed individual.
Actually, there are quite a few people who want to marry Ning Hongze, although they are unwilling to admit it.
They just can't let go of their pride.
However, when they wanted to arrange a marriage between their niece and daughter and Ning Hongze...
But then Ning Hong suddenly spread her hands.
"We will be closed for three days starting tomorrow."
"Why are you not selling anymore? Why are you closing down?"
"Has something happened at your home?"
Some people started speculating.
Why did they suddenly stop selling it, for no apparent reason?
"Boss, I've gotten so used to eating your steamed buns with meat filling. Isn't it a bit much for you to leave now? We'll miss you. If you really have family problems, you can tell us, and we'll definitely help you."
"Three days, just three days. Let me rest properly, I'm so tired." Ning Hong stretched and twisted her body.
Upon hearing Ning Hongze's unwavering answer, all the aunties and older women who wanted to play matchmaker hesitated.
"Is it just because you're tired from carrying it that you're asking for this? Is that all there is to it?"
