When Deng Fengzhi was called out from the reservoir, she began to feel uneasy.
When he saw Fu Hongzhong's fierce glare at him, he trembled all over.
The couple, each lost in their own thoughts, walked to the brigade headquarters. When they saw Granny Li, Ning Jing, and the village chief, whose face was dark as he looked at them, they couldn't help but lower their heads guiltily.
Although Fu Hongzhong had his head down, his mind was racing.
Before Tan Dingguo could even ask a question, he raised his arm and slapped Deng Fengzhi hard across the face.
He used all his strength in that slap.
He beat Deng Fengzhi so badly she was completely disoriented. She spun around on the spot before covering her face and looking up at her husband in astonishment.
After Fu Hongzhong slapped her, he sincerely apologized to Ning Jing, saying, "Ning Jing, your sister-in-law is so brainless. She takes everything people say as fact."
I, your brother, only just found out that Granny Li actually did such a thing. It's all your sister-in-law's fault; she talked nonsense and caused Granny Li to misunderstand.
Don't worry, I'll definitely give her a good talking-to when we get back."
After a series of rapping and chanting, Deng Fengzhi's problem was simply turned into a misunderstanding caused by a momentary slip of the tongue.
It must be said that Fu Hongzhong's slap was perfectly executed.
Ning Jing's fake smile faded slightly. She glanced at Fu Hongzhong, surprised that this man was so shameless as to use his own wife as a shield.
Although he exonerated Deng Fengzhi, this meant that he had absolutely no connection to her.
If what he said is true, then this matter can only be attributed to Deng Fengzhi.
Moreover, he insisted on portraying it as unintentional, rather than deliberate.
These two relationships are vastly different.
Unfortunately, Fu Hongzhong forgot that Granny Li was still in the house!
Everyone heard clearly what Granny Li said.
"I wouldn't dare call you brother or sister-in-law. After all, Granny Li just confessed everything clearly, saying that Deng Fengzhi paid her to do this."
Ning Jing waved her hand, indicating that Fu Hongzhong didn't need to play the family card, since everyone knew what Fu's uncle had done back then.
Not to mention, Fu Hongzhong should remember clearly how his uncle and his family treated the original owner, as long as he didn't lose his memory.
Now, in front of Ning Jing, he's coaxing her by saying they're her brother and sister-in-law. Isn't he just trying to suppress her dissatisfaction with those words?
But does Fu Hongzhong even deserve it?
Before Ning Jing could say those words, the door to the brigade headquarters was pushed open with a bang.
Everyone looked over and saw Fu Hongxing rushing in, covered in sweat.
"Are you okay?"
Fu Hongxing held Ning Jing's hand and examined her carefully from head to toe.
When Ning Jing noticed everyone staring, she tried to pull her hand back, but Fu Hongxing held it tightly.
She quickly whispered in Fu Hongxing's ear that she was alright. Fu Hongxing was greatly relieved to see that his wife did not appear to have any external injuries.
Fu Hongxing was extremely fortunate. Today, after riding his bicycle to work, he arrived at the coal mine, but since he had left his things at home, he went home first to get them.
On the way, they ran into Wang Guihua, who was going home to call Gendi to help at the reservoir. When Fu Hongxing heard that someone had splashed Ning Jing with black dog blood, his expression changed drastically. He grabbed Wang Guihua and asked her where Ning Jing was, and then ran towards the brigade headquarters.
