Many people looked at Ruan Tang with lustful eyes, saying that Ji Nanfeng had been dazzled by the bustling world in the county town and had forgotten his little wife at home.
Some people also began to speculate that Ji Nanfeng was willing to marry Ruan Tang just to have a wife to take care of the old and young at home.
Some people started to bring up the fact that when Ruan Tang married Ji Nanfeng, she was probably not Huang Xi's daughter, otherwise Ji Nanfeng would not have left so abruptly, not even wanting his own grandmother. This was clearly blaming Grandma Ji for taking on so much responsibility to help him find a wife.
Only Xu Li and a few others dared to say this in private. As soon as anyone opened their mouth, they would be scolded by those who were on good terms with Ruan Tang.
Liu Weifang and several other young wives were afraid that Ruan Tang would be upset, so they came to talk to Ruan Tang every day.
On the nineteenth day, Ruan Tang went to the vegetable garden at the back door to cut chives to make chive and egg pancakes. Because tomorrow was Sunday, Ji Xiaodi would be home today.
Ruan Tang was squatting on the ground cutting leeks when suddenly a figure appeared in front of her.
"Ji Nanfeng, you're back?"
When she looked up in surprise, she saw Xu Yan's face.
Ruan Tang suppressed her smile, completely ignored Xu Yan, and continued to cut leeks with her head down.
Xu Yan stared at Ruan Tang a little madly, "Look, I'm not Ji Nanfeng, why are you staring at me like that?"
"You've only been with Ji Nanfeng for a few days, and you've already fallen in love with him? What about us? We've been together for three years, and you've already fallen in love with someone else so quickly?"
Ruan Tang didn't want to bring up the past with the madman at all, and wanted to leave after cutting the leeks.
Xu Yan grabbed Ruan Tang's arm and pulled her into his arms: "Tangtang, Ji Nanfeng doesn't want you anymore. He already has a woman in the city. You've been abandoned. As long as you give in to me, I will marry you."
Ruan Tang was furious: "I think you're dreaming! Let go!"
But Xu Yan was frantically unwilling to let go.
Ruan Tang swung the kitchen knife fiercely, cutting a gash on the back of Xu Yan's hand and causing blood to flow out.
Xu Yan let go of his hand only after feeling the pain.
Ruan Tang stared at Xu Yan's lower body sinisterly: "If you dare to touch me again, I have a hundred ways to make you childless!"
Xu Yan covered the back of his bleeding hand and said, "Ruan Tang, you will regret this!"
"Brother Yan, where have you been?"
Du Xueqing's voice came from the yard next door.
Xu Yan didn't dare to delay any longer and left in a hurry.
After everyone left, Ruan Tang squatted on the ground and picked up the leeks scattered on the ground.
Another figure landed in front of Ruan Tang, she was holding the kitchen knife tightly in her hand.
Ruan Tang slowly raised her head and looked at Du Xueqing standing in front of her.
Du Xueqing's face was gloomy. "Ruan Tang, does it feel good to steal someone else's man?"
Ruan Tang slowly stood up, her voice icy, "You're overly praising your man. Even if all the men in the world were dead, I wouldn't try to snatch a man who couldn't have children."
Ruan Tang's eyes fell on the half-drunk medicine bowl in Du Xueqing's hand, with a mocking look on her face.
Du Xueqing shook her head frantically. She didn't believe it. She didn't even realize that half of the medicine in the bowl had been spilled.
If Xu Yan couldn't have children, then what was the point of all her efforts during this period? Drinking the fertility remedy three times a day, seducing Xu Yan three times a day to give birth to a son...
She knew that Ruan Tang must be unhappy herself and wanted to make her unhappy too. "Ruan Tang, I won't be provoked by you. Xu Yan keeps me bedridden every day, so how could I not be able to have children?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Ruan Tang stopped talking here, picked up the leeks and went home.
But the seeds of doubt were planted in Du Xueqing's heart, and Du Xueqing had to think more. Ever since they got married, Xu Yan seemed to be getting worse and worse.
In the past two days, if she hadn't tried so hard to seduce Xu Yan... she didn't dare to think too much about it.
Du Xueqing squatted in the vegetable garden, her body trembling uncontrollably. If Xu Yan couldn't make it, what would she do? Would she have to stay in the countryside for the rest of her life?
"Du Zhiqing, why are you here?"
Li Shi, who had just returned home from chopping firewood, was trembling all over when he saw Du Xueqing passing by the vegetable garden.
Li Shi was Li Xinggen's son, and he lived behind Xu's house. After Li Xinggen died, Xu Shi helped with the funeral procession, and the relationship between the two families eased a lot.
Du Xueqing shook her head, "I'm fine..."
Li Shi reached out and helped Du Xueqing up: "How can you be okay? You're shaking like this. Let me help you go back?"
Li Shi's hands were burning hot and he accidentally touched Du Xueqing's hands. They looked at each other hurriedly and then looked away.
"I, I'm fine now, thank you. I can go back by myself."
Du Xueqing pulled back her arm and slowly walked towards Xu's house. For some reason, Li Shi's burning look was all in her mind. The further she walked, the weaker her legs became. In the end, Du Xueqing had to walk back by holding onto the wall.
At night, Du Xueqing pestered Xu Yan again, but Xu Yan rejected her on the grounds that his hand was injured, and turned over and fell asleep.
Du Xueqing couldn't fall asleep for a long time, thinking of Li Shi's masculine hands, feet and chest...
The next day was Sunday, and Ji Xiaodi was waiting at the village entrance early in the morning, waiting for Ji Nanfeng to come home.
Waiting with Ji Xiaodi were some children of about the same age from the village, all of whom were attending junior high school in the city.
"Brother Ji, is Ruan Zhiqing secretly crying at home? How about we go to the city and beat up your brother to vent Ruan Zhiqing's anger?"
Ruan Zhiqing could treat illnesses and repair tractors, and had successfully captured the hearts of these half-grown children.
"My sister-in-law didn't cry or get angry. She even made me some chive and egg pancakes last night. She's so kind. If my brother does anything wrong to my sister-in-law, I will definitely clean up the mess for the Ji family. I might need your help later."
Even though Ji Xiaodi was angry, he was not confused. He knew that he alone could not defeat Ji Nanfeng.
"Look, there's a bicycle coming! Look, isn't it Ruan Zhiqing's man?"
A group of half-grown children rushed out, and when they got closer, they found that it was a strange man.
Xu Da got off his bicycle and asked, "Do you know where Ji Nanfeng lives? I'm looking for his wife."
"What do you want with my sister-in-law?"
Xu Da took a look at Ji Xiaodi and said, "So you are Section Chief Ji's younger brother. Your brother asked me to take your sister-in-law to the city."
Ji Xiaodi brought the man back home, and Xu Da asked Ruan Tang to go with her quickly because Ji Nanfeng was in trouble.
Ruan Tang looked at Xu Da calmly. When Ji Nanfeng left, he said that if he had anything, he would ask He Kun to come to him.
He Kun didn't come, a strange man came instead.
Ruan Tang knew that she had to go to the machinery factory, but it was absolutely impossible for her, a woman, to blindly follow a strange man.
"I'm going to the city to buy seeds. I'll go with you, Master." Yang Wanli said.
The Ji family had come, and Ruan Tang's friends had all come to see what was going on. Yang Wange, who had recently learned a lot about tractor repair from Ruan Tang, saw Ruan Tang's dilemma and volunteered to help.
Finally, those who went to pull seeds with Yang Wan'er included Yang Wan'er's son Yang Hui, Liu Weifang's husband Hu Jianshe, Ji Dabo's son Ji Rong, and Secretary Hu's grandson Hu Dazhi.
These people have all received help from Ruan Tanglu to varying degrees.
Xu Da rode his bicycle behind the tractor and looked over at Ruan Tang, who was being protected by several young men in the tractor bed...
Tsk, I wonder if Section Chief Ji knows that his wife is quite popular?
