Chapter 39

Ning Jia was happily watching the fun, but when he heard the voice next to his ear, his body stiffened: “No… no?”

Anyway, she didn’t admit it, he had no evidence, and it was just a wild guess at best.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it.” Li Yao lowered his head and almost bit her ear as he spoke, “But next time something like this happens, tell me and I’ll do it!”

Ning Jia was stunned and turned his head suddenly.

Bang–

The two men’s foreheads hit each other heavily.

“Ugh… it hurts.” Ning Jia rubbed his forehead, his facial features squeezed together. Then he looked at Li Yao, and there seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes.

“Okay, everyone, disperse, stop looking! It’s almost time to go to work. Team members should go home and eat quickly. Don’t delay going to work after dinner!” The production team leader appeared in time and dispersed the onlookers.

Only then did Wang Erlaizi dare to crawl out of the pigpen naked and find his clothes to put on.

The heavy rain last night soaked him to the bone. If he hadn’t been huddled with the pigs, he would have been frozen to death. Of course, it was also thanks to the rain last night, otherwise he would have been pickled in pig manure by now.

After returning from the pigsty, Wang Erlaizi fell ill and had to lie in bed for three days before he recovered.

During these three days, Widow Chen was busy looking for eggs for Ning Jia.

Her publicity was effective, and quite a few people came to sell eggs secretly. However, most families could only accumulate two or three kilograms of eggs and sell them secretly. They could not get more than that.

After selling the eggs, the people took the money from Widow Chen and went to the educated youth site to find Lin Xiaoxi to get White Rabbit milk candy.

In order to establish her image and prestige in the hearts of the villagers, she registered all the people who attended the literacy classes in the past two days.

As long as two days have passed, she would give him a piece of White Rabbit milk candy.

“Aunt Guihua, your family has performed very well these past two days! All four of us went to listen for two days, and we got a total of four White Rabbit candies.”

Lin Xiaoxi crossed out the names of Aunt Guihua’s family of four in her notebook and handed four White Rabbit milk candies to Aunt Guihua.

“Take it and walk slowly.”

Aunt Guihua fiddled with the four candies in her hand, and was reluctant to leave. Instead, she stretched out two fingers and said, “We still need two more.”

Lin Xiaoxi was stunned: “Two pieces short? How could that be?”

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxi didn’t understand, Zhang Guihua whispered, “Eggs…Eggs.”

“What eggs? What are you talking about?” Lin Xiaoxi was confused.

Yesterday, Aunt Liu came to her and asked for a few more dollars. She shouldn’t have given it to her, but for the sake of her reputation, she gritted her teeth and gave it to her.

Another Aunt Osmanthus came today.

The first thing he did was ask for candy.

Lin Xiaoxi was very angry. What did these people think of her as? A sucker?

It seems that she is too easy to talk to in her daily life, making others think that she is a person with no temper.

Zhang Guihua sent two kilograms of eggs to Widow Chen, and naturally she wanted to get the White Rabbit milk candy from her, but Lin Xiaoxi turned out to have this attitude.

“What? Are you going to default on your debt?” She was also very angry.

“Aunt Guihua, you’re talking about eggs one moment and toffee the next. You need to explain clearly before I can consider whether to give it to you or not.”

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Guihua quickly told her what happened.

Lin Xiaoxi was dumbfounded after hearing this: “When have I ever done such a thing?”

“You don’t admit it, right? Fine, if you don’t admit it, I’ll spread the word and see how others will believe you then! Don’t you want to be an accountant? With your character, even if you can do accounting, we won’t choose a dishonest person to be the accountant of our Laohuaishu Village.” Aunt Guihua said angrily.

Lin Xiaoxi had been working hard on this business for a few days and had sold out several handfuls of White Rabbit milk candies, so she didn’t need these two pieces.

If her hard-earned reputation was ruined because of these two pieces of candy, then all her efforts would be in vain, and the candies she had given away before would be wasted.

“Aunt Guihua, don’t get excited. I’ll give it to you.” Lin Xiaoxi took out two more pieces of White Rabbit milk candies.

Zhang Guihua held the two pieces of candy, feeling unhappy.

Lin Xiaoxi hurriedly explained: “Look, I don’t know anything about this. Sister-in-law Ning Jia doesn’t know why she did this either. I’ll go ask her later and find out for sure.”

“Haha.” Zhang Guihua laughed twice, “Why would she collect eggs without your permission? Everyone knows that your mother is a salesperson in the city! Besides, you and Ning Jia have such a good relationship, how could she do something to harm you behind your back?”

“I…” Lin Xiaoxi laughed angrily, “Aunt Guihua, although my mother is a salesperson, the things they buy have a certain source of supply and are uniformly distributed. How can she be qualified to secretly buy them on her own?”

Zhang Guihua: “Don’t fool me.”

“I really didn’t…”

Zhang Guihua glanced at Lin Xiaoxi up and down, her eyes full of contempt: “You city people are not as kind as us country people. Ning Jia helped you with the work, you just got the benefits, but you don’t want to bear the trouble at all.”

“Aunt Guihua, you misunderstood me. Please listen to my explanation.”

“No need to explain! The more you explain, the worse it gets! If you don’t want to give me the candy, just say you don’t want to give it. Why are you being so pretentious? If you can’t afford it, don’t talk big. It makes us seem like we all want those two pieces of candy from you!”

Zhang Guihua grabbed her six pieces of candy from the table, put them in her pocket, and walked away angrily.

Lin Xiaoxi was furious.

She was so angry that her head was dizzy and she had no place to vent her anger.

She was just about to go find Ning Jia to argue when a few more people came to look for her outside.

“I have something to do. I’ll distribute things to everyone when I come back.” Lin Xiaoxi was really not in the mood. She had to ask Ning Jia why he had to scheme against her like this.

It’s such a rip-off!

“Lin Zhiqing, where are you going? It’s our turn to get the candy, and you’re leaving now? Don’t you want to give it to us?”

“yes.”

“No wonder Aunt Guihua was so angry. When we asked her why, she said you didn’t want to give us candy. We thought it was fake, but it turned out to be true.”

Lin Xiaoxi was speechless.

These country bumpkins from the mountain village, can they understand what people say?

“Aunts, I have to go out for something. I will send it to you when I come back. It’s not that I don’t want to send it.” Lin Xiaoxi suppressed her anger and temper and explained to everyone.

“You didn’t leave until we came, but you left as soon as we came. Don’t you want to give us candy?”

“That’s right. Handing out some candy will only take up a few minutes of your time, Lin Zhiqing.”

Lin Xiaoxi’s head was about to explode. They were all a bunch of unreasonable people.

She really wanted to lose her temper, but reason told her that she had to control herself and not get angry, otherwise her image would be completely ruined.

Isn’t it just White Rabbit Milk Candy?

She just gave it.

Anyway, she has a way to get the money.

“Aunts, look at what you are saying. I’m just going to the toilet because I have a stomachache and I can’t hold it any longer. If you are afraid that I will run away, why don’t you send someone to watch me? It’ll only take five minutes.” Lin Xiaoxi said with a smile.

“That’s not necessary. Just go and come back soon!”

Lin Xiaoxi has already made this excuse. Even if she doesn’t have shit, she has to squat in the toilet for five minutes.

Five minutes later, she came out and distributed all the candies.

After half a day, she found that she had given out more than twenty pieces of candy.

More than twenty yuan!

This is just today, who knows how many more pieces she will need to send in the future?

“No, we have to find Ning Jia!” Lin Xiaoxi slammed the table, put down her notebook, stood up and went to Li’s house.

At this moment, Ning Jia was sitting in the yard cracking melon seeds and enjoying the warm autumn sun.
