Chapter 6
Ning Xiangxiang watched as Su Fei ran away as if she had seen a ghost, unable to hide his twisted expression. How could a woman be so fickle? When she liked him, she would buy him anything, but once she changed her mind, she wouldn’t even want to look at him. So she glared at Su Fei’s back with resentful eyes, feeling utterly infuriated.
Su Fei clearly felt the lingering resentment behind her, without turning back, she hurriedly accelerated her pace to escape, walking briskly and then jogging, finally breaking into a run. It was truly terrifying; Ningning, hurry and save me!
Ningning watched with satisfaction as Ning Xiangxiang, wearing a look of disbelief, stared at Su Fei. The more she looked, the more surprised and ridiculous it seemed.
Ningning watched as Ning Xiangxiang kept staring at Su Fei’s departing figure, looking disgusted. Unable to hold back, he sarcastically remarked, “Still looking? If you keep staring, your eyes might pop out. Besides, Su Fei isn’t yours anyway!”
After hearing Ningning’s words, Ning Xiangxiang rolled her eyes at him and said, “I’m sure of Su Fei. Trust me, in a couple of days, she’ll dump you and you’ll be homeless.”
If Ningning had heard this before, he might have been worried, but now he wasn’t worried at all. He immediately got into a verbal spat with Ning Xiangxiang.
Anyway, Ningning was full and had nothing else to do, while Ning Xiangxiang hadn’t eaten yet. The men who went home to cook came back soon. They had to continue harvesting, so they quickly got busy again. The harvest for the whole year depended on these days.
Ningning didn’t want to argue with Ning Xiangxiang anymore, so he quickly got back to work. After eating and resting, there would be time for banter and entertainment. He continued to work hard, but he couldn’t help but think about the first day Su Fei came to bring food, when she came cautiously. Everyone in the village was particularly surprised, almost unbelievably so!
Back then, Ning Xiangxiang came over dressed up, with painted eyebrows and a sulking look, staring at Su Fei. He pouted delicately and asked, “Su Fei, why didn’t you come find me that day? I had to deal with mosquitoes for half a day!”
Su Fei was directly stunned, how could there be such a masculine woman, and the key was that this masculine woman didn’t look good at all. He really couldn’t believe that this was her predecessor’s aesthetic.
Behind them, Ningning saw Su Fei’s stunned expression at Ning Xiangxiang and angrily pinched Su Fei’s waist. Su Fei immediately felt the pain and reacted, then continued to look at Ning Xiangxiang’s affected appearance.
Su Fei’s face immediately turned green, she endured it for a while but couldn’t hold it back anymore. She opened her mouth and vomited. Ning Xiangxiang quickly came over to take care of Su Fei, while saying to her, “Look, Ningning doesn’t know how to take care of people. He let you come out when you’re sick.”
When Su Fei saw Ning Xiangxiang still talking to her, the more he talked, the scarier it got, and the more scared she became, the more she vomited. She quickly sought help from Ningning; if he didn’t help her now, she would vomit all her stomach acid out.
Ningning now found it increasingly ridiculous. Su Fei was suffering because of him that day. Considering Su Fei’s excellent performance recently, he decided to reward her by taking her to the fair and buying her some delicious food!
On the other hand, although Ning Xiangxiang was the village flower, he was still a labor force at home, unable to eat well. Usually, he relied on his suitors to bring him some good food. Among them, Su Fei was the main one. Since Su Fei was teased by his suitors and fell into the water, he hadn’t received anything from her.
So in the afternoon, Ning Xiangxiang could only continue working on an empty stomach, feeling increasingly aggrieved. He had hoped that Su Fei would at least bring him something to eat today, but he had received nothing as usual.
Ning Xiangxiang was working in the hot summer without eating, so he didn’t have the energy to work for long. After a while, he felt dizzy and passed out. Immediately, people started shouting loudly. In this day and age, everyone was well-fed, especially in this hot summer when physical strength was needed. Everyone would buy meat and eat a good meal. There had never been any incidents of fainting.
The village chief, with the village committee members, quickly took Ning Xiangxiang to the clinic and then hurried to Ning Daxiong’s house. They saw Ning Daxiong and her daughter happily taking a nap at home.
The village chief knocked on the door and scolded Ning Daxiong, “Look at you, you’re full at home and taking a nap at noon. Don’t you know your son fainted in the fields? I wonder if your daughter can still marry someone by then…”
Ning Daxiong was really scared. She didn’t dare to say a word in the face of the village chief’s anger. But she was extremely angry at Ning Xiangxiang in her heart. He didn’t come back to eat when he was hungry, and those suitors were dead. Why didn’t he ask others for food?
The village chief wasn’t afraid of Ning Daxiong’s stubbornness. She used to be the matriarch of the village. Whether he was really crying or pretending to be subdued, at least she had to save face.
Ningning didn’t continue to gloat over Ning Xiangxiang’s misfortune, but hurriedly finished his work. As in a few days, it would be the fair.
