Chapter 221 Shameless



Upon hearing Liu Mei's words, Ning Jing just wanted to spit in her face. How dare she be so shameless?

"According to you, anyone who is related to you can freely take things from other people's homes?"

I heard that my eldest cousin's family separated from my eldest uncle's family today, and that she received quite a bit of money!

Why don't my sister-in-law take out some money and give it to me too?

Of course, I'll share some of the wild vegetables with you too.

When Liu Mei heard Ning Jing say that, she quickly retorted, "How can that be the same? How much are your wild vegetables worth?"

"You're dreaming if you think you can get a share of my family's money."

"Regardless of the amount of money, it's certainly a beautiful dream. Otherwise, would they go so far as to steal from others?"

Ning Jing nodded in agreement.

Hearing these sarcastic remarks, Liu Mei's face turned pale and then she snorted loudly.

They grabbed Fu Hongmin and left to prevent Ning Jing from clinging to them and asking for money.

After all, she hadn't forgotten that most of the money the family received today was deducted from Fu Hongxing's share.

Ning Jing watched Liu Mei and Fu Hongmin run off in a flash and shook her head.

Such shamelessness is unprecedented.

"Sister-in-law, my eldest cousin's wife is really shameless."

Xiuhua, standing beside her, stomped her foot angrily and said...

Ning Jing patted her arm and comforted her, "Just watch, even if they separate, there will definitely be more trouble in their family."

Forget it, I won't talk about them anymore.

Let's go back first and dry these wild vegetables.

While there are still some left on the mountain, let's collect as many as possible and store them.

More and more people are going to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables now, and it's estimated that it won't be long before all the wild vegetables on that hillside are dug up.

If she can't dig anything up the hillside, she plans to look around the village and dig as much as she can.

Besides fearing that all the wild vegetables would be dug up, she was also afraid of rain.

If it rains, the wild vegetables won't be able to be dried after being dug up, and they won't be able to be stored for long.

Ning Jing didn't understand farm work, so she didn't know that Tan Dingguo and the other village cadres, along with a few experienced farmers, were fanning themselves with straw hats by the field.

He fanned himself while wiping the sweat from his forehead with the towel hanging around his neck.

The beans and corn that were planted were originally intended to be planted after the autumn harvest, in the hope that it would rain.

As long as it rains, the seeds will germinate quickly.

But now, more than ten days have passed, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and even the water level in the river has dropped considerably.

In shallower areas, the riverbed is exposed.

If it gets this hot, those seeds will probably dry out completely.

"Village chief, this won't work."

If we continue like this, forget about a harvest, even the sprouts will be a problem.

One of the old hands grabbed a handful of soil, rubbed it between his fingers, and shook his head as he spoke.

“Let the able-bodied men in the village form a water-carrying team.”

After Tan Dingguo finished speaking, he glanced at the soil in the old craftsman's hand, which had dried into powder.

"But our village is right there at the entrance of the village, by that river."

My wife says these past few days that the river is so bad that she can't even wash clothes in it.

The water level, which was originally above the stone slabs along the riverbank, has dropped to almost the bottom.

Wu Tieniu said with a frown.

With so little water in the river, it's probably not enough for drinking or daily use. If the village sends people to fetch water, how many days will it last?

This weather isn't something that can be solved by carrying water for a few days.

Moreover, the river used to have a lot of water, but only recently has the water level started to drop at a visible rate.
