Feeling sorry for him, Ning Jing quickly grabbed his hand and examined it carefully. She saw that the skin on Fu Hongxing's finger bones was broken.
"My only worry now is that if the three children listen to their parents and run to tell them the news, what will happen if they are found out when they go back?"
As for Fu Xiuye and her husband trying to sabotage Xiuhua's marriage, they'll have to get past Fu Hongxing first, so Ning Jing isn't too worried about it.
Knowing that her three children were often beaten by their parents at home, Ning Jing was actually very worried about it.
After all, given Fu Xiuye and her group's nature, they certainly wouldn't dare to confront Fu Hongxing directly.
However, it's hard to guarantee that he won't take his anger out on those three children.
After hearing Ning Jing's words, Fu Hongxing remained silent for a long while before saying in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry, I'll find a way."
Fu Xiuye and Zhang Dagen waited until after noon, but the three children hadn't returned and they didn't think anything was wrong.
Originally, no lunch was left for those three money-losing losers.
In the morning, the couple got excited talking about how they would get 50 yuan once their second sister married into that family. Zhang Dagen found Fu Xiuye much more pleasing to the eye.
Then they rolled together, but halfway through, they were interrupted by Zhang Dagen's mother banging on the door.
This scared Zhang Dagen so much that he shrank back, and no matter how he tried to fool him, he couldn't stand up.
Enraged, Zhang Dagen quickly dressed, opened the door, and huffed, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Old Mrs. Zhang's face was as long as a horse's.
"What do you mean, 'what are you doing'? The sun is already high in the sky, and you're still hiding under the covers. Do you want to be a pampered young lady hiding in your boudoir? You'll have to see if you're lucky enough to do that!"
As soon as Old Lady Zhang opened her mouth, all her anger was directed at Fu Xiuye, who was following behind her son.
Fu Xiuye's face was ashen. If outsiders heard what she said, she would be skinned alive, if not killed.
However, she didn't dare to argue with her mother-in-law.
Because she knew that no matter how right she was, if her husband didn't stand by her side, it would all be for nothing.
If she dared to mutter a word and argue with her mother-in-law, the man would definitely slap her immediately.
Zhang Dagen felt a little embarrassed as he realized that he had started the earlier commotion and now his own mother was saying this to him.
"Mom, I'm talking to the child's mother about something serious!"
When Old Mrs. Zhang heard what her son said, her face fell even longer.
Why do you discuss things with your wife but not with your own mother?
Seeing his mother's face growing increasingly grim, Zhang Dagen quickly stepped forward, pulled Old Lady Zhang's hand aside, and whispered something in her ear.
Old Mrs. Zhang went from being unhappy at first, to being surprised, then confused, and finally delighted.
"Gen'er, are you telling the truth?"
50 yuan! That's more than their family earns in a whole year.
"Of course it's true. You know what kind of family the He family is."
Zhang Dagen nodded, and then said.
Upon thinking of the He family, Old Lady Zhang's initial skepticism vanished considerably.
Of course she knew about the He family's circumstances; the He family were originally mountain people who made a living by hunting.
They moved down from the mountains in the 1950s because the land belonged to the collective. This benefited the originally poor mountain people, who secretly earned a lot of money from the furs and game they collected while hunting.
Even after the wild animals in the mountains were taken over by the collective, when the He family went hunting, after deducting the village's share, their family always received more than others.
