Chapter 34

Buying and selling eggs is not allowed. Once caught, you will be in big trouble.

So, she collected eggs under the name of Lin Xiaoxi.

Even if he was caught by the production team leader, he could blame it all on Lin Xiaoxi.

In addition, everyone in the village knew that Lin Xiaoxi could get White Rabbit milk candy, so they absolutely believed in going to her to get the milk candy.

As for Lin Xiaoxi, she knew it was Ning Jia’s idea, but she could only suffer in silence.

If she dared to expose Ning Jia, people would dare to bring up the affair between her and the production team leader.

This idea kills three birds with one stone.

It’s really immoral!

Lin Xiaoxi could only admit the loss this time. It hurt a lot, but there was nothing she could do.

“I don’t want to do this, but there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s her fault for not being a human being.” Ning Jia shrugged.

The original text mentioned that when Lin Xiaoxi and Li Chuan were getting married, Lin’s father and mother did not ask for a single cent of betrothal gift.

They didn’t love her as much as Lin Xiaoxi said. On the contrary, Father and Mother Lin didn’t care about her at all.

Otherwise, she would not have been sent to the countryside to work instead of her brother.

They even didn’t want Lin Xiaoxi to return to the city.

Because of the shortage of housing at home, Lin Xiaoxi’s brother got married and was about to have a child, so they needed a larger space.

If Lin Xiaoxi doesn’t go back, her family won’t have to worry about the house, let alone her work and marriage after she returns to the city.

Therefore, when Lin’s father and mother knew that Lin Xiaoxi was going to settle down in Laohuaishu Village, they were very happy.

That’s why they didn’t ask for any dowry.

This betrothal gift was purely requested by Lin Xiaoxi herself.

Life in Laohuaishu Village was too hard, and she had to save some money to make a living.

In addition, she was too tired in the early stages, so in order to avoid hardship and get a good job, she spent a lot of money to bribe the production team leader.

Every time she used money, Lin’s mother kept an account for her.

When she makes money, she will send it back to pay off the debt.

Therefore, Lin’s parents can refuse the bride price, but they cannot refuse the money they have spent on Lin Xiaoxi.

The two hundred yuan that Lin Xiaoxi received in the article consisted of two parts.

One part was the betrothal money that Old Lady Xu received when she married Li Tao to Wang Erlaizi, and the other part was collected by the whole family.

Among them, Li Yao took the most money, accounting for more than half.

The original owner, Ning Jia, got angry with Li Yao because of this incident, which made the already bad relationship between the couple even worse.

After Lin Xiaoxi received the betrothal gift, she asked someone to buy cakes from the city and sent them to Old Mrs. Xu, winning her heart completely.

I used part of the remaining money to repay my parents and saved the rest for myself.

In other words, the money she used to bribe the captain came from Li Yao and Li Tao.

This was the plot in the original text. Ning Jia thought that things would change a little after she and her best friend An Ye traveled through the book.

Unexpectedly, some things have indeed changed, but some things are still developing according to the original context of the story.

That’s why Ning Jia came up with such a wicked idea!

An Ye smiled and said, “If you want to act, you have to do it in full, right?”

“Hmm?” Ning Jia was stunned for a moment, then understood instantly, “Tonight, we have to go and show our support to Lin Xiaoxi no matter what.”

An Ye: “Hehe! That’s exactly what I meant!”

“Let’s go, let’s go home and eat.” Ning Jia grinned, “After dinner, we’ll go to the literacy class and report.”

“Uh-huh.”

The two of them increased their pace, and when they reached the door, An Ye stopped, raised his hand and grabbed his hair a few times, and then ruffled Ning Jia’s hair.

Ning Jia bent down and touched the ground twice, then rubbed it on his body, and rubbed An twice as well.

“Perfect.” Ning Jia smiled, “Let’s go home!”

When the two returned home, the meal was already on the table.

Liang Lanlan saw the two of them coming back and asked them hurriedly, “How many branches did you two pick up?”

An Ye sat down on the stool: “I didn’t pick up a single one.”

“Ah? How come? Are you two being lazy?”

Ning Jia pointed at her messy hair and the dirt on her body and said, “Third sister-in-law, didn’t you see? An Ye and I had a fight! All the branches were lost, and I almost couldn’t come back! Shouldn’t the mountain care about me first? Why did they care about the branches first?”

Liang Lanlan: “…”

How much she doubted this sentence!

“You are a bunch of people who are always causing troubles but not good at doing anything! What else can you do all day long except eating? You can’t even pick up a branch!” Old Mrs. Xu’s face was drooping longer than her face. “You can’t even earn a penny of work points. When can you get enough money for the 200 yuan betrothal gift?”

“What? Mom, look at Old Six’s clothes, they are all patched up. He can’t even afford to buy him a new piece of clothing all year round, and I gave all the money to you! Are you still not satisfied? You are doing this for Old Seven. You want to squeeze every ounce of Old Six dry!” Ning Jia fought back without hesitation.

“Sixth sister-in-law, what you said is too harsh.” Li Chuan couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Shut up!” Ning Jia glared at him. “If you think my words are harsh, prepare the betrothal money yourself!”

Li Chuan: “…”

Old Mrs. Xu couldn’t get any advantage from Ning Jia, and she was both angry and upset.

Seeing that Li Yao remained silent, he immediately became furious: “Sixth Brother, why don’t you take care of your wife? Do you think there is room for her in our home? Do you indulge her to be domineering at home every day? Oh, you are really making me angry to death! You are such an unfilial son!”

Ning Jia snorted and laughed: “Mom, you are really good at moral blackmail!”

“Shut up! You have no right to interrupt me when I’m talking to my son. This is really lawless!” Old Mrs. Xu slammed the table hard, as if he really thought that she, an old lady, was a vegetarian.

Li Yao spoke slowly: “Mom, you are right. How about this, I’ll kick Ning Jia out and spend money to find you a daughter-in-law! This is my second marriage, and I don’t think the other party will ask for such a high gift! At most fifty yuan will solve the problem!”

Old Mrs. Xu choked: “…”

She quickly did some calculations in her head. This was not right. If they really got divorced, she would suffer a huge loss!

“Okay, let’s eat.” Li Yuan saw that the atmosphere at the table had become tense, and hurried out to act as a peacemaker. “Lin Xiaoxi is going to give a lecture tonight, and she’s also going to give out White Rabbit candies! We have to go quickly and grab a good seat!”

Li Yuan’s words gave Ning Jia a way out.

She immediately took over the conversation and said, “Then I have to go! How can Lin Xiaoxi’s lecture be without my support?”

An Ye immediately agreed: “I have to go too! If not for the two pieces of candy, then to cheer up my future seventh brother and sister-in-law!”

Old Mrs. Xu: “…”

I have never seen such a shameless person!

Li Yao curled the corners of his mouth and lowered his head to eat the biscuit.

Li Chuan was also very happy when he heard this. Doesn’t this just prove that Lin Xiaoxi is popular?

At that time, when everyone sees that these two have come, it will definitely mean that Lin Xiaoxi is likable and has a high prestige among the people, and can even impress such people.

After finishing his meal, Ning Jia carried his small stool and headed to the literacy class.

“Are you really going?” Li Yao asked.

He knew that Ning Jia had no shortage of White Rabbit milk candies, so there was a bag of it in her drawer. According to her, Lin Xiaoxi insisted on giving it to her.

“Of course.” Ning Jia smiled at him, “Are you going?”

Li Yao refused: “I want to rest early tonight.”

“Okay, you take a rest, I’m leaving!”

*

Literacy classes.

Lin Xiaoxi really didn’t expect that half of the village would come to today’s class.

She stood in front of the lecture hall, adjusted herself to the best posture, and prepared to face everyone with full enthusiasm.

She wants to use this incident to increase her weight in the campaign for the position of accountant.

“Hey, Xiaoxi~ When I heard from our seventh brother that you were going to take a literacy class, I, the sixth sister-in-law, immediately decided to be the first to sign up! I have to support you no matter what! Look, I’m still limping here with my injured leg. Do you think I’m sincere?”

Ning Jia spoke in a soft voice and smiled sweetly at her, with an expression that looked like he was asking for praise.

This completely stunned Lin Xiaoxi. For a moment, she really had no idea what Ning Jia was up to.
