This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 151 Xing Fangcao Returns to the Village and Wang Simin Leaves

"That's it!" Chen Shuning said angrily, "You don't want to raise it, and you don't let others raise it. What on earth do you want to do?"

Chen Xue pulled Wang Erxiu in annoyance and whispered, "Mom, can't you just say less? I'm not asking you to contribute money or effort, so why don't you just stay still?"

Wang Erxiu nudged Chen Xue with his elbow and said angrily, "You silly girl, you're turning your elbow outward. You're not on your mother's side, you're on Chen Shuning's side..."

"She has a point!" Chen Xue muttered, "You don't raise a pet, so why do you care whether others do or not?"

Yang Fengxia didn't want them to start a quarrel, so she quickly advised, "Alright, stop talking! Wan Lin and his wife are good people, and the child won't be able to bear the hardship of living with them."

Chunhua, since you want to raise this child, you can take these things too! They were all made by me and my sister-in-law, including mats, clothes, and some diapers.

Ji Chunhua felt a little embarrassed. The other person helped take care of the child for a few days and gave her so many gifts. How could she feel at ease?

"No—" Ji Chunhua evaded, "We're all poor, how can we take your things for free?"

Liu Xianghua packed up her things swiftly, her mouth busy, "Hey~ We don't have children, why would we keep them? Just take them! The more you save, the better~"

Chen Wanlin held the child tightly, unwilling to let go, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, then I won't be polite! When our family recovers, I will thank you again!"

"What's the point of thanking me..." Liu Xianghua said with a deliberately stern face, "Be nice to this child. She's quite pitiful."

To outsiders, this sentence was just an ordinary exhortation. But to Chen Wanlin, it was something else!

He understood what Liu Xianghua meant by this sentence. She wanted him to treat the child well and not abandon the child like he had done before.

Chen Wanlin said solemnly, "Don't worry! I will definitely treat this child well. Look, this child is so attractive! He is so handsome!"

Wang Erxiu curled her lips and muttered, "What kind of look is that? This child is so wrinkled, like a little old lady. How can she be pretty?"

"Tsk~" Chen Xue pulled Wang Erxiu again and said with a stern face, "Can you please talk less?"

Wang Erxiu glared at Chen Xue and then shut up.

Chen Wanlin and Ji Chunhua didn't bother with Wang Erxiu. Let her talk all she wants! Who doesn't know her big mouth?

Chen Shuning turned his back and smiled secretly. It was true. Other people’s crops were better, but my own child was still the best!

"Shuning, are you home?"

A familiar voice called out from outside the door, and Chen Shuning responded, "Hey! I'm here?"

Then he walked to the door and opened it.

Ma Lanzhi was running out of breath, bent over, holding her stomach with her hands, and breathing heavily.

Chen Shuning was startled and hurried over, asking with concern, "Lanzhi! What's wrong? What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"

Ma Lanzhi waved her hands and spoke haltingly, "Oh, I'm so tired! Well, a car came to the village. It's from Jingshi. I heard it's here to pick up Wang Simin!"

"To pick up Wang Simin?"

Everyone in the house rushed out.

"Ma Zhiqing, what's going on? Is Wang Simin in trouble again?"

Ma Lanzhi looked worried. She looked up at everyone and explained, "It wasn't a crime! From what Secretary Lin said, it was a rehabilitation!"

"Ah?" Wang Erxiu exclaimed in surprise, "This can be rehabilitated? Then, then, if he returns to the capital and becomes a high-ranking official, he won't retaliate against us, right?"

Chen Feng walked out with his hands behind his back, his brows filled with uncontrollable joy. He coughed twice and said calmly, "Let's go! Let's go take a look together!"

Ma Lanzhi took Chen Shuning's hand and followed the crowd out, saying worriedly, "Shuning, what Wang Erxiu said makes sense. Your family has the worst relationship with Wang Simin in this village. He won't..."

"Don't worry!" Chen Shuning said firmly, "He's a veteran revolutionary. His ideological awareness is definitely higher than ours. He won't abuse his power for personal gain or seek revenge against our family."

Ma Lanzhi was still a little worried and kept frowning.

"Lanzhi, don't worry!" Chen Shuning smiled and comforted her, "It's really okay. Besides, didn't our family treat him to a meal?"

These excuses were made up by Chen Shuning to deal with Ma Lanzhi.

If Wang Simin really held a grudge against the Chen family, how could he let go of his hatred just because of a meal of meat?

"That's right..." Ma Lanzhi raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with a smile, "Eating people is the shortest thing. These days, it's not easy to have a good meal of meat!"

"By the way, how's the clothes-making thing going with you and Wang Na?"

Chen Shuning hadn't visited Ma Lanzhi and Wang Na for a while, so when he saw her, he couldn't help but ask.

Ma Lanzhi walked slower and slower, and only said after everyone around her had left: "Shuning, we can have a prosperous new year this year!

I've already made up my mind. Before Chinese New Year, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy a few pounds of candy to keep for later. I have low blood sugar, and when I have a low blood sugar attack, I feel much better after eating one.

If I hadn't been short of money at that time, I wouldn't have fainted from hunger and made Xing Fangcao disgusted with me..."

Speaking of Xing Fangcao, Chen Shuning slapped his forehead and said, "Oh my! I completely forgot about Xing Fangcao! She hasn't come back yet?"

"She came back last night," Ma Lanzhi replied. "The news of her threatening Wei Chunhong and Chen Honglu has spread! She must be feeling ashamed...

Last night, he hid in the house and didn't even dare to go out! He even hid from people when he went to the bathroom, and ignored me and Wang Na.

Chen Shuning's gossip fire burned fiercely. She asked softly, "Where's Han Mei? Aren't they on good terms?"

"What's good about that?" Ma Lanzhi curled her lips in disdain and said, "Han Mei knew Xing Fangcao was back, but she didn't even show up!

Xing Fangcao's hospitalization cost her a lot of money this time. I heard she can't even pay back the money she owes to the brigade! The court said Wei Chunhong and Chen Honglu can't come up with the money either..."

Chen Shuning echoed, "If they had money, they wouldn't do such a heartless thing! They can't even afford a new cotton-padded jacket, and you expect them to pay for their medical expenses?"

Chen Shuning stood on tiptoe, looked ahead, and urged, "Lanzhi, there are so many people up ahead! Let's walk faster!"

Wang Simin had already moved in with Chen Erlai and was not in the cowshed at all. The cadres from Beijing, accompanied by Lin Shitou, finally found Wang Simin.

When Chen Shuning arrived, Wang Simin had just left the hospital.

Chen Shuning nimbly climbed up the low wall of the blind grandmother's house and walked through the crowd. Their eyes met and Wang Simin smiled easily.

Wang Simin reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes. He was not wearing the tattered old cotton-padded jacket today. Instead, he was wearing the new clothes that Chen Shuning had secretly made for him.

His back, which was usually a little bent, stood up straight today. After taking off the hat of a capitalist, he could finally hold his head up and face people!

Wang Simin bowed solemnly, and facing him was Chen Shuning's grandfather Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's eyes sparkled with tears. He quickly lowered his head and held back the tears! He was happy for his old comrade!

"Thank you everyone! Thank you everyone!"

The villagers didn't know what Wang Simin was thanking for, and they all thought he was just too happy and talking nonsense! Wang Simin had a hard time in the village in the past few years.

"Drip-"

A car horn honked and the driver stuck his head out.
