Seeing Xiuhua nod, Fu Hongxing picked up the backpack he had just thrown aside and asked Xiuhua to help him put it into the house.
After doing all that, he said goodbye to Tan Dingguo and Xu Changjiu, and then prepared to leave together.
When he reached the courtyard gate, he saw Xiuchun staring at him expectantly, and he immediately paused.
Xiuchun was only 2 years old when he left home.
Seeing Xiuchun's hesitant expression, wanting to approach but also looking fearful and conflicted.
Fu Hongxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pat Xiuchun on the head.
"There are fruit candies in the bag, go ask your sister-in-law for them."
Upon hearing about the fruit candies, Tie Dan and Xiu Chun immediately became excited. Si Ya couldn't help but stick her finger into her mouth; just hearing the word "candy" made her mouth water instantly.
Ning Jing watched him stride away and then walked out of the courtyard with the village chief and the others.
He gestured for Xiuhua to close the courtyard gate, and the villagers who were still gathered around and didn't want to leave smacked their lips, still wanting more.
"What do you think Fu Hongxing brought back this time?"
One of them couldn't help but nudge his companion's arm and whisper.
"Look at how greedy you are. Whatever you bring back is none of your business. Do you expect me to go and get a share of the pie like my uncle Hongxing did?"
His companion rolled his eyes at him and replied impatiently.
"Hey, look at you, it's just a question! By the way, how much money did Fu Bingqiang actually embezzle from Fu Hongxing's family?"
He touched his nose, unable to hide his curiosity.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
His companion paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you hear what Ning Jing was calculating just now?"
I estimate there must be several thousand.
The man exclaimed, "No way! Several thousand? How much money is that? So much money was stolen by someone so heartless, tsk tsk..."
After clicking his tongue, he acted as if he were heartbroken, as if the money belonged to him.
"Sister-in-law, brother is really back, isn't he?"
Xiuhua wiped away her tears, closed the door, and helped Ningjing back into the house.
Even though she had just seen Fu Hongxing with her own eyes, she still couldn't help but ask Ning Jing to confirm it again after he left.
Ning Jing sat on the bed, untied Fu Hongxing's backpack, and said, "This stuff is all here. Do you think you're dreaming?"
Xiuhua then stopped crying and smiled, nodding as if she had been incredibly foolish.
After sitting down quietly, she felt her feet were a little better.
After unpacking Fu Hongxing's backpack, he reached inside and rummaged through the topmost part.
Ning Jing pulled out a pair of blue boxer shorts.
Because of the wide trouser legs, Ning Jing didn't react for a moment.
"Sister-in-law, these must be my brother's underwear."
It wasn't until Xiuhua's voice rang out that she reacted as if she had been burned, and immediately threw herself to the side of the bed.
"Cough cough, your older brother is really careless. How can you leave something like this lying around like that?"
Suppressing the heat rising to her face, Ning Jing pretended to be calm and said.
He didn't dare to take anything out again, so he simply grabbed the backpack by the bottom and shook it hard onto the bed.
A whole bunch of things were dumped out of the backpack with a "whoosh".
Clothes, pants, shoes, some canned fruit, and snacks and candies rolled out of it.
The backpack was also tied with a thin military green blanket. After Ning Jing untied the straps, she unfolded it and found that it was actually quite large.
When I touched it, I felt that the cotton inside was new; it was very soft.
