Ning Jing's face flushed slightly, but she was, after all, a worldly person.
I forced myself to remain calm and said thank you.
Wang Guihua leaned closer and said with a low, smiling voice, "What? Do you want to make a set of clothes for Hongxing to wear?"
"Cough cough..."
Ning Jing felt speechless.
When asked to explain, Wang Guihua gave her a knowing look and then scurried away.
Ning Jing almost reached out her hand like Er Kang's to call her back.
I rubbed my head, feeling a headache coming on. Oh well, let it be a misunderstanding!
The next day, Fu Hongxing left home early in the morning.
Ning Jing led Xiu Hua and the others to dig for wild vegetables. After digging them up, they washed them, cooked them, and dried them in the sun.
When you want to eat them later, just soak them like dried mushrooms, then add some oil and salt and mix them together. They will then have a chewy texture.
However, if you eat for too long, your cheeks will probably get very sore.
There was no other way; given the shortage of supplies, this was the only option for the time being.
"Hey, Ning Jing, are you taking your younger siblings out to dig for wild vegetables?"
An auntie who was also on her way to dig for wild vegetables saw this and couldn't help but call out.
Ning Jing always gives such people a shy yet polite smile.
It should be noted that on the day Fu Hongxing returned, there were quite a few people who came with Uncle Fu to arrest the female prostitutes.
Of course, many people were just there for the spectacle and didn't have any deeper malice.
However, this does not prevent Ning Jing from having no good feelings towards them.
However, living in this village, one can't turn everyone into an enemy; otherwise, even without others causing trouble, Ning Jing would find it impossible to move an inch.
Since the relationship isn't deep and there's not much interaction, maintaining a distant yet close relationship is the best approach.
At least, anyone with a shred of conscience would feel guilty.
Just as Ning Jing had expected, some of the older women felt embarrassed when they saw that Ning Jing was actually smiling at them, remembering that they had wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
Even more gossipy people whispered to Ning Jing, "Liu Mei hasn't come back yet. I heard your older cousin went to invite her several times, but Liu Mei's family kicked him out, saying they'd break his legs if he went again."
By the way, when Deng Fengzhi was arrested, her parents didn't cause any trouble.
"Talk to your sister-in-law, she promises she won't tell anyone."
After saying that, her eyes lit up as she waited for Ning Jing to speak.
Ning Jing's lips curved slightly, and she said politely but with a hint of distance, "Sister-in-law, you really know how to tell jokes. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about these things!"
As for my uncle's family affairs, we are from different branches of the family; it's his family matter, and besides, he is an elder.
How can we, as younger generations, casually discuss the family affairs of our elders?
These few words immediately shut the woman up.
The woman straightened up somewhat awkwardly.
Some bystanders, unable to bear it any longer, laughed and scolded, "Xiaoyu's mother, you should mind your own business!"
Why are you so concerned about other people's business?
Xiaoyu's mother's surname is Wang, and her name is Wang Dingxiang. She is related to Wang Guihua in a complicated way.
She wasn't a bad person at heart, but she was a gossip, so Wang Guihua basically didn't associate with her.
Ning Jing didn't respond, but just smiled and moved to the side with Xiu Hua and the others.
The important thing is to gather more wild vegetables to take home.
When Wang Dingxiang saw this, she knew that Ning Jing didn't want to talk to her, so she could only move her slightly burly body to the side.
