Seeing Lu Nong frowning, Sister Qin said sympathetically, "This must have been revealed by Huo Xiaoling, who is so confused. If she didn't say it, how could others know what you two said?"

"Sister, what are you going to do? Why don't we go see Zhao Xin?"

Lu Nong was at a loss for a moment. He stroked the little white dog and thought. There was no outsider here. Lu Nong told Sister Qin the truth: "Sister Qin, Zhao Xin is a very evil person. I don't want to have any contact with her."

Sister Qin slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, finally someone has the same idea as me. Huo Xiaoling used to be a very hardworking person. Look at her now. She seems to have become a completely different person. She quarrels with Lao Cui every day."

Lu Nong didn't want to go see Zhao Xin. The eldest daughter lived her own way and would not fall for any moral blackmail. The gossip had already spread throughout the compound, and going to see her would only reveal her guilty conscience.

I was treated as a joke for nothing.

And why did she feel that Zhao Xin was anxious about this matter? Was there any progress with Pei Ji'an?

Then she must remain stable and respond to all changes with the same attitude.

Thinking of this, Lu Nong comforted Sister Qin, "It's okay, don't worry. It was Pei Zheng and I who saved her that day, not her who saved us. It doesn't make sense for me to rush to see her just because she's sick. I don't owe her anything, and we're not even close."

"That's right," Sister Qin nodded. "Sister, you're not smart enough to think as clearly as you do."

The more Sister Qin thought about it, the more she felt that this was the meaning. She said with disdain, "She didn't even go to thank you, so how could she have the nerve to ask you to go see her? Those people are just confused and not clear-headed."

Lu Nong smiled.

"Let's not talk about this anymore," Sister Qin changed the subject, looked Lu Nong up and down, and said anxiously, "Did Lao Pei eat anything good recently? Look at how moisturized my sister is, her complexion is radiant, it's much more effective than applying vanishing cream. If you have any good remedies, please introduce them to Sister Qin."

The weather was cold, making Lu Nong's face look even whiter and rosier. There was a hint of spring in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and her lips were seductively red. She was just like a beauty in the snow.

Lu Nong touched his lips and realized belatedly that it was a mistake to go out today and he should have stayed at home obediently.

Sister Qin continued to talk, openly disdaining her husband in front of Lu Nong. "My husband, Zhang, is getting worse and worse."

“…”

Lu Nong was sweating in his heart at Sister Qin's behavior of making dirty jokes whenever she disagreed with him. He still couldn't get used to her bold and private words.

"Sister, please stop teasing me."

Sister Qin didn't take it seriously: "Why should you be embarrassed? It's just like that when you're married. You'll know in the future. Old ladies always talk about this when they have nothing to do. Their eyes are very sharp. You can tell whether a man is good or not by looking at the wives. All the men in the compound have said this."

"It's only because your old Pei didn't have a wife before that he couldn't tell the depths of your situation. If they saw you like this now, I'm sure Old Pei will never be able to escape the old women's gossips in the future."

Lu Nong: “…”

She rolled her eyes and thought that she could share some of the deer blood with Sister Qin to help her relieve some of the pressure. "Sister, Pei Ji'an's old comrade-in-arms gave him a lot of dried deer blood. I'll share some with you later."

"Oh, it turns out to be deer blood. I thought it was some kind of folk remedy. Deer blood is a good thing. We can't take it. You can save it for Old Pei." Sister Qin refused.

Lu Nong: "Big sister, there's plenty at home, don't worry you won't be able to finish it all."

Sister Qin refused once or twice, but she could see that Lu Nong really wanted to give it to her, so she had to agree, "That's great, let's let Lao Zhang try the deer blood too."

After bidding farewell to Sister Qin, Lu Nong walked home. After walking a few steps, he unexpectedly ran into Ruan Yufang and Ye Huihui. The mother and daughter were dressed elegantly and were confronting a girl who was dressed in ordinary clothes.

Ye Huihui: "Don't come here again. You are not welcome in our home."

Ruan Yufang glanced at her daughter in reproach. "How can you talk to your sister like that? Yuesheng has had a hard time too. She came to your father for support. We have to understand her."

This is a very weird statement.

Ye Yuesheng was not a person who would be bullied. He sneered, "I have nothing to do with your Ye family. I am not here to see Ye Quan today. Please don't be so self-indulgent. Just be a stranger when we meet in the future. Also, tell Ye Quan not to come to see me again."

Lu Nong didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, so he picked up the little white dog and planned to walk around the three people and leave.

Who knew that Ye Huihui saw it. When Lu Nong passed by her, Ye Huihui cursed, "Shameless vixen!"

Lu Nong stopped walking, turned around to look at her, and sneered: "Say it again."

"You fox spirit, you fox spirit, I told you!" Ye Huihui twisted her neck and glared back at Lu Nong.

With a "slap" sound, Lu Nong raised his hand and slapped Ye Huihui.

"Ah! You dare to hit me!?" Ye Huihui looked at Lu Nong in disbelief.

"I dare. Didn't I hit you? What? If you think it's not enough, just stretch your face over here. If you dare to stretch it out, I will hit you." Lu Nong said lightly.

"Ah!! Mom, she bullied me, she..." Ye Huihui screamed. She was slapped in the face in front of her adopted sister. Where would she put her dignity? She raised her hand to hit back.

"Shut up!" Ye Huihui's mother Ruan Yufang stopped Ye Huihui and looked at Lu Nong with fear, "Hurry up and apologize to Aunt Lu."

What happened to the Shen family and Shen Yimei these days was seen by everyone in the compound, and Ruan Yufang saw it even more.

It all started with Pei Mingxia's attitude changing. Overnight, Pei Mingxia's attitude towards Shen Yimei took a sharp turn for the worse, and when she mentioned Shen Yimei, all she had was sneer and hatred.

She also told them that the matter of "Pei Ji'an waiting for Shen Yimei" was all Shen Yimei's own imagination, and her brother knew nothing about it from beginning to end. All of them were deceived by Shen Yimei.

It has been so many years since they started, everyone knows the answer, except Pei Mingxia, a fool who has been kept in the dark. But there is nothing they can do. Shen Yimei has a good family background and a promising brother to support her, so she can be arrogant for another ten years. They can only go along with her.

Ruan Yufang had never seen Pei Mingxia so angry before. She even found it a little funny for a moment. Pei the idiot finally wised up for once.

I never expected that the Shen family would go bankrupt.

Ruan Yufang didn't know what had happened, but she knew that the Shen family was gone, Shen Yimei was gone, and Pei Mingxia was sick.

Ruan Yufang would not believe that the Shen family's affairs had nothing to do with Lu Nong. This woman was not simple. It took her only a few months to entangle Pei Ji'an, toppled Shen Yimei who had been arrogant for many years, and removed the huge thorn in her heart of "Pei Ji'an's ex-wife."

She didn't dare to say that if she were in Lu Nong's position, she would do better than Lu Nong. It was truly amazing and applauded, and she must not offend him.

Ruan Yufang's family background is not as good as Shen Yimei and Pei Mingxia, but she can be called the three golden flowers together with Shen Yimei and Pei Mingxia because of her ability to judge the situation. She only bullies those she can afford to bully.

Unfortunately, she forgot that she had a scumbag daughter.

"I apologize? For what!?"

Ye Huihui was spoiled by Ruan Yufang since she was a child. She had only been bullied by Pei Zheng since she was a child. No one dared to touch her, let alone slap her in the face.

So at this time she didn't understand or look at her mother's expression at all, thinking that Ruan Yufang was not on her side, and she shouted loudly with great grievance:

"I won't apologize! I heard everything you said in private. Aunt Shen was hurt so badly by her. She is a... bastard! She beat me up and you still want me to apologize to her. Are you my biological mother?"

He was probably scared by Lu Nong's beating, so he didn't curse out the three words "fox spirit" again.

Ruan Yufang: “…” I am your biological mother, but I also want to beat you to death.

Lu Nong had a half-smile on his face, while Ye Yuesheng on the side had a mocking look on his face. Seeing their reactions, Ruan Yufang was furious, especially at the fact that she was being laughed at by Ye Yuesheng, the daughter of her husband's ex-wife.

It was too late to stop her daughter from speaking without restraint, so she could only smile awkwardly at Lu Nong: "Don't be offended, Comrade Lu. Huihui is ignorant. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Then he turned to Ye Yuesheng and said with a fake smile: "Yuesheng, since you didn't come to the compound to look for us, then hurry up and do your thing."

Ye Yuesheng looked back at the jokes of Ye Huihui and her daughter, and felt surprisingly good. The frustration that had been suppressed for many years finally came to an end. Ruan Yufang was just like that. No matter how much she looked down on her mother, didn't she still have to apologize to another woman in a servile manner?

After figuring it out, Ye Yuesheng smiled brightly at Lu Nong, gave her a look that said "well done", and left with brisk steps.

Lu Nong watched her leave, extremely speechless. She, a passerby, became the opponent, and the opponent became a passerby. There was really something wrong with the mother and daughter of the Ye family.

There is one word that best describes Ruan Yufang - rude at first but respectful later. Combining this with what Ye Huihui said, Lu Nong realized after a quick thought that Ruan Yufang was frightened by Shen Yimei's incident and thought she was the one behind it.

Lu Nong thought to himself, you think I am this kind of person, so if I am not this kind of person, wouldn’t you be very disappointed?

So she gave Ruan Yufang a sinister smile and said to Ye Huihui: "Since you know that I was the one who hurt Shen Yimei, how dare you mess with me? Aren't you afraid that I will hurt you too?"

"Just wait, your blessing will come soon."

Red lips, white teeth, and moving eyes... At this moment, Lu Nong really looked like a fox spirit that sucked people's souls. Not only Ruan Yufang, but Ye Huihui was also frightened by Lu Nong's expression. She had never realized before that bad women were not easy to mess with. She backed away repeatedly and suddenly bumped into something hard. She couldn't help but screamed "Ah!!"

"What the hell are you yelling about?" It was Pei Zheng, Zhang Kaiping, Shen Jiming and Jiang Yu and their group.

Pei Zheng took a step back and pushed Ye Huihui away in disgust. Fortunately, the baby was sitting on his neck. Pei Zheng took the baby down and said, "Brother, are you not scared?"

The cub yawned. The little guy was tired from playing.

Pei Zheng felt relieved, looked around, and winked at Lu Nong: What's going on?

Before Lu Nong could say anything, Ye Huihui saw Pei Zheng and grabbed his hand to complain, "Pei Zheng, this vixen... that bad woman just admitted that she was the one who hurt Aunt Shen. Don't be so nice to her son. She might teach him to be a little evil spirit and harm you in the future."

Ye Huihui is a person who only remembers food but not the big things. Last time, after being made to cry by Pei Zheng, she went home and gave herself some self-suggestions. Then, when she saw Pei Zheng again, she still dared to righteously ignore his warning not to meddle in other people's business.

Pei Zheng was angry. His younger brother was his Achilles' heel. He would not be so angry even if Ye Huihui scolded him. Shen Yimei was a thorn in Pei Zheng's heart. He finally felt better today and forgot about his troubles temporarily, but then another irrelevant and brainless person came to remind him.

He put the baby into his open arms, hugged his chest and asked, "Are you okay? Who are you? Do you need to worry about me?"

Pei Zheng was extremely impatient. He didn't care that his biological mother, Ruan Yufang, was still around. He yelled at Ye Huihui, "My stepmother has never harmed my biological mother. I can tell you now that if I hear this rumor somewhere else in the future, I will not forgive you."

"Also, my stepmother is still my stepmother and my father's wife. Is it because your father's position is higher than mine, or is it because your Ye family looks down on our Pei family that you can call her by her name? You keep calling her a vixen, you evil woman. Go back and ask your father what seniority is and what you want to call my stepmother."

Ye Huihui was stunned and was stunned by Pei Zheng's scolding. After hearing what Pei Zheng said at the end, she realized the seriousness of the problem. Even if she was ignorant, she knew that their family could not afford to offend the Pei family. Yes, Lu Nong was Uncle Pei's wife, and even Aunt Shen couldn't beat her. How dare she call her a vixen to her face?

Coupled with Lu Nong's previous fright, Ye Huihui was completely frightened and trembling, "I, I... I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."

Pei Zheng looked towards Ruan Yufang. His words were addressed to both Ye Huihui and Ruan Yufang. He was just short of pointing at Ye Huihui's nose and scolding her for having no manners. In front of Ruan Yufang, he mocked her as a mother who was useless and unable to discipline her daughter.

Ruan Yufang's face was dark, but she didn't dare to offend Lu Nong just now, and she didn't dare to offend Pei Zheng now. The frustration she had been feeling since Ye Yuesheng came over her suddenly surged up in her heart. She couldn't bear it any longer, so she slapped Ye Huihui in the face and said, "You brainless thing! Go home quickly, don't stay here and embarrass yourself."

“You hit me!?” Ye Huihui covered her face and screamed, her voice even sharper than when Lu Nong hit her just now. She stared at her mother with hatred, as if Ruan Yufang was her enemy. “I’m going to go back and tell Dad.”

Ruan Yufang was so angry. How could she give birth to such a stubborn thing?

After she calmed down, Ruan Yufang deeply regretted being too pampered to Ye Huihui. She had previously told Ye Huihui to wait for her blessing. Ruan Yufang now felt that Ye Huihui was her "blessing". If she didn't teach her to be smarter, this young lady's life would be ruined.

Ye Huihui ran away crying. Ruan Yufang was in no mood to deal with Lu Nong and the others. After saying goodbye hastily, she chased after Ye Huihui. It seemed that the mother and daughter would not dare to act like a demon again in the future.

"How is it?" After Ruan Yufang and her daughter left, Pei Zheng raised his head proudly, "Is it good for you to vent your anger? You can't bully good people by taking advantage of your power, but occasionally you can bully bad people by taking advantage of your power, and there's nothing wrong with forgiving them."

"I didn't suffer any loss. Every time she scolded me, I slapped her. But you, you're a good guy." Indeed, it does feel good to take advantage of your power, but Lu Nong had already slapped Ye Huihui in the face to teach her a lesson, so he was not that angry.

The most important thing was that Pei Zheng defended her with such a domineering attitude today. Lu Nong looked at him with new eyes, and her love for him was not in vain.

Pei Zheng/Zhang Kaiping/Shen Jiming/Jiang Yu: "..." You are indeed like me. Is it okay for me to curse and slap you?

No wonder Ye Huihui's face was red. They thought it was because of the cold weather, but it turned out to be a slap mark.

"Not bad, little boy!" Zizi seemed to understand and repeated his mother's words praising his brother.

"You have no respect for your elders!" Pei Zheng pretended to be angry, took the baby out of his arms, and then said goodbye to his brothers, "It's over, let's go back to our own homes."

Zhang Kaiping and the other two ate some melon, then said goodbye to Lu Nong with a frown.

After returning home, Zizi became excited and circled around the snowman made by Lu Nong with Xiaobai.

Seeing that Zaizai liked snowmen so much, Lu Nong was afraid that he would get sick from being frozen outside all the time, so he made five small snowmen to represent the family and placed them at the door of the house. Pei Zheng thought it was childish and fixed the snow residue on the small snowman representing himself.

The baby likes the snowman made by his mother. He stays still and guards the snowman obediently. He wants to touch it but is afraid of breaking it. However, he is too young and needs to eat and sleep, so he can only say goodbye to the snowman reluctantly.

After waking up from a nap, Zaizai took Xiaobai and quickly ran to the side of the snowman and squatted down. It was cold and the snowman had not melted at all. Zaizai stayed with the snowman until Pei Ji'an came back in the evening and was reluctant to leave.

"What is this?" In the evening, Pei Ji'an opened the door and saw a little ball in red, a little white dog and five little snowmen squatting in a row at the door.

The baby raised his head, blinked his big, twinkling eyes, and introduced in a baby voice: "Little Snowman, this is mommy, this is the baby, this is grandma, this is my brother, and this is my uncle."

Pei Ji'an squatted down and touched the heads of the cubs. The five snowmen were ugly in their own ways, but surprisingly, they all had the same physical characteristics as a family.

Seeing such a unique idea, Pei Jinan guessed that it was the work of Lu Nong.

"Did mom make it?"

"Yeah." Zizi nodded vigorously, and then said, "There is no Xiaobai."

Pei Jinan turned his head in surprise, thought for a while, took off his black leather gloves, got up and went out. After a while, he came in holding a little snowman that looked like a puppy, and put the puppy snowman next to the five little snowmen.

"It's Xiaobai!"

The baby exclaimed, happily stroked Xiaobai's fur, and said to Xiaobai, "Look, this is you, a family, together."

"Yes, the whole family is together." Pei Ji'an squatted down and looked at the six snowmen with him, and said softly.

"Yeah!" Zizi's eyes were sparkling. He moved his body and got closer to Pei Jinan. After a few seconds, he moved again and got closer to Pei Jinan.

This was the scene that Lu Nong saw when she walked over. Pei Jian and Zizi were squatting at the door together with their backs to her. From the back, they were almost stuck together. Zizi looked up at the tall "uncle" with stars in his eyes.

"It's time to eat. Let's have hot pot tonight." Eating hot pot on a snowy day to warm up the body is perfect.

The big and the small turned around at the same time, and Lu Nong responded with a sweet smile.

At the dinner table, Pei Zheng told Pei Jinan what happened today as a joke. Pei Jinan became more and more serious as he listened, and finally put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll find time to talk to Lao Ye."

Pei Zheng winked at Lu Nong: What do you think? Am I loyal enough?

Lu Nong: Well done.

Pei Ji'an glanced at Pei Zheng and said with an unclear expression: "Eat your meal well."

Pei Zheng curled his lips. The old house was on fire and it was his son's turn to burn. Who did he think was stupid? He just ignored his father.

"It's delicious. Grandma Wu, can we have hotpot tomorrow?" Pei Zheng looked at Mother Wu expectantly.

Mother Wu: "Then you should ask Nong Nong. She prepared all the ingredients. They taste better than the hot pot we had before."

Pei Zheng looked at Lu Nong again, and Lu Nong nodded, thinking that since you stood up for justice today, I will reward you.

Pei Zheng cheered, his son cheered, and Mother Wu smiled.

Pei Ji’an: “…”

The author has something to say:

Pei Zheng: About the time I helped my stepmother put eye drops on someone else.

Lu Nong: What a big boy.

Pei Jinan: Don’t cue when you are jealous.

Xiao Zhou outside the venue: Weird, Pei Zheng is not stupid anymore, he can understand the hint!!!
