Chapter 5
Ningning continued to work in the fields because of Su Fei’s job. He was finally happy for once, but when he came back excitedly, he had planned to cook a delicious meal to celebrate with Su Fei.
Now, Ningning realized that Su Fei was still incorrigible! Just look at all her friends filling the courtyard, especially when he heard the name Ning Xiangxiang at the end!
Ningning and Ning Xiangxiang had been enemies since childhood. Ningning’s mother, Ning Jing, and Ning Xiangxiang’s mother, Ning Daxiong, were cousins who had been compared since childhood. But Ning Daxiong had never won against Ning Jing, in looks or abilities, but there was one thing she couldn’t compete with Ning Jing on, and that was age.
So Ningning had been compared to Ning Xiangxiang since childhood. Ningning was much stronger than Ning Xiangxiang in both ability and family background, except in looks.
When his parents were no longer around, Ning Daxiong had always caused trouble for Ningning. If it weren’t for the village chief and others supporting Ningning, Ning Daxiong would have bought Ningning off.
Ningning didn’t dare to think about the past, but now that he thought about it, it was terrifying. Now that Ningning heard that Su Fei was still associated with Ning Xiangxiang, he couldn’t help but feel angry.
“What exactly do you and Ning Xiangxiang have? What shameful secrets do you two have?” Ningning questioned, his face turning pale with anger.
Su Fei’s years of life experience told her that she had to yield at this point. Although she didn’t know why, she tried not to challenge the limits.
“There’s absolutely nothing, I don’t even know who Ning Xiangxiang is,” Su Fei quickly apologized, bowing her head, not daring to argue or show any dissatisfaction.
Only then did Ningning realize that he still couldn’t trust her completely, so he warned Su Fei specifically, “There’s less than a month before you start working, so don’t go out this month, just stay at home.”
“Okay, no problem, I’ll definitely stay at home obediently,” Su Fei quickly agreed. Then he saw Ningning’s face immediately relax.
On the other hand, when Liang Hao saw Ning Xiangxiang, he quickly and eagerly told her, “I’ve already told Su Fei. You still have the same meeting place. When you two become a couple, you must invite me to the wedding.”
Ning Xiangxiang looked around to see if anyone else was there, then blushed shyly. In her heart, he couldn’t help but complain. If it weren’t for his mother forcing him to take over Ningning’s family property, who would want to flirt with Su Fei, this useless girl? He wanted to marry into the city in the future. He didn’t want to work in the fields for the rest of his life.
Ning Xiangxiang waited in the small forest in their village, waiting for Su Fei to arrive. Normally, he would be an hour late, but this time he was even later. He waited there until midnight, but Su Fei didn’t come.
Ning Xiangxiang couldn’t help but feel annoyed after feeding mosquitoes for half the night. He thought he wouldn’t bother with Su Fei for the rest of his life. Su Fei dared to stand him up. It turned out that he had been kneeling and licking himself all the time.
Then came the busiest month in the village, everyone was busy, even the children started helping. Everyone harvested wheat, dried wheat, and harvested a series of edible crops.
In order to quickly harvest all the grain, people planned to eat in the fields. They only took a break at the edge of the field at noon before continuing to harvest because this month was the season when wheat ripened and it was also the season of heavy rain.
So basically, men were doing the harvesting, while most women had relatively easy jobs. And some women didn’t do anything at all. Because the country would provide women with some subsidies, so here, most men relied on women to live.
But this time, the women of Dadong Commune were all very surprised. They didn’t expect that among these lazy women, there would actually be a traitor.
It was Su Fei from Ningning’s family, who actually came to bring food to Ningning every noon. And it was actually food she made herself, which was unbelievable and embarrassing for this group of women.
The women were resentful, while the men working in the fields were extremely envious of Ning Ning, having a woman who cared for him so much.
“Ning Ning, your Su Fei is truly a changed woman. Look at how good she is to you, bringing you food and water.” The men in the village praised Su Fei with envy.
Only Ning Ning knew that Su Fei couldn’t cook, as she just reheat the food he made in the morning. So he modestly said, “It’s nothing, just bringing food.”
“Look, your food is even brought here. We have to go back and cook our own food. After eating, then we can come back. You are really living the easy life.” The men watched as Su Fei approached and realized it was time to go back and cook.
After Su Fei hurried over, he carefully set up the food and then brought out the chilled drinking water from the well, letting Ning Ning drink it first to cool down.
Ning Ning watched as Su Fei set everything up and blushed. He realized that hardly any other man in the village enjoyed such treatment. Now he felt a bit embarrassed. “Su Fei, you should go back earlier, don’t get heatstroke.”
Su Fei, realizing he hadn’t earned a penny yet and relied on Ning Ning for food and shelter, couldn’t do much physical labor. She quickly shook her head. “No need. Finish eating, I’ll take the dishes back and wash them.”
Just when the atmosphere between the two was particularly relaxed, a super affected voice appeared.
“Su Fei, I’m so thirsty, can I have some water?” Ning Xiangxiang said coyly.
Before Ning Ning could get angry, Su Fei couldn’t stand it and quickly excused herself.
