Chapter 71 This life was given out by stinginess.
"Big cousin, tell me the truth, what are your feelings for Xie Chang'an..."
"I like Xie Chang'an!" Luo Ning told Liu Chunsheng bluntly.
Liu Chunsheng was dumbfounded. Although he was mentally prepared, the shock was still great.
My older cousin used to have a rooster-motif hairstyle, how did she turn into Xie Chang'an?
Luo Ning then recounted how Jian Yin, the pusher, gradually pushed the young and ignorant Luo Ning and the rooster-headed girl together, binding them together.
Liu Chunsheng was so indignant that he almost smashed his teacup.
"Actually, I don't like that hoodlum, but his appearance just happened to fill the void in my life."
My feelings for him are at most the budding infatuation of a young girl in love; I wouldn't call it liking.
Before I was stopped that time, I didn't know him at all, and I didn't even know that such a person existed.
He would suddenly appear in front of me; he was most likely acting on Jian Yin's orders.
I was only 11 years old when Jian Yin came to the village. I remember that Xie Chang'an came home to visit his family for the Spring Festival that year, and she must have taken a liking to Xie Chang'an at first sight.
I managed to get information out of Luo Jing that our family had done Xie Chang'an a favor.
She got anxious as I grew up, and she pulled a stunt on me, cutting off any possibility of me being with Xie Chang'an.
Who knew my father would be so wise, marrying me off to Xie Chang'an against my will?
I only came to understand these things after I married Xie Chang'an and after Jian Yin kept popping up in my life.
Actually, when I was very young, I really liked Xie Chang'an. Xie Chang'an used to fight a lot, and I learned to fight from him. He beat up all the big guys in the village, and I took care of all the little guys! Cough cough…”
Luo Ning gave Liu Chunsheng a thorough explanation, successfully connecting the original owner's life with his own, perfectly concealing his wolfish ambitions towards Xie Chang'an in both his lives.
Liu Chunsheng suddenly understood. So that's how it is!
He was so angry that he was trembling all over and kept pacing around the room.
It was very late, and the village was already asleep.
Jian Yin's cries from the west end of the village shattered the silence of the night.
The sounds of beatings and Jian Yin's crying continued all night long.
Zhang Wanhua was all alone at home; it was quite desolate.
Old Li and his son were not home, his youngest daughter had gone to her maternal grandparents' house, and his daughter-in-law had gone back to her parents' home.
She was too lazy to cook dinner and went to bed early.
She woke up hungry in the middle of the night, got up to scoop up a ladle of cold water to drink, fill her stomach, and then went back to sleep.
She groped her way off the kang (a heated brick bed) in the dark, stepped on something, and rolled under her feet.
Zhang Wanhua, half asleep, mistook it for a stick, kicked it away, and walked out with her eyes closed.
She groped her way to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the water tank, and scooped out a ladle of water. For some reason, the ladle felt a little heavy today. She looked down at it in the sunlight streaming through the snow.
Suddenly, a dark shadowy figure was found coiled inside the ladle, and it was slippery.
She suddenly remembered Luo Ning's words, screamed, threw down the water ladle, and ran outside.
Suddenly, a snake appeared before her eyes; snakes kept crawling in from the rafters, the ground, and the windows.
The house is now incredibly lively, a real spectacle.
They... they really came for revenge! Zhang Wanhua's eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Luo Ning immediately appeared and put all the snakes into his spatial storage.
It's really tough on them, having to be dragged out for a stroll in the dead of winter.
Luo Ning crouched down and checked Zhang Wanhua's breathing.
She was seething with anger, both inside and out. Truly, evil deeds live on for a thousand years!
There's no moon tonight, so the light is a bit dim and the stimulation isn't very noticeable.
She had originally planned to call out the snakehead from last time to give Zhang Wanhua a hard time, but she didn't expect that this woman was so stingy that she wouldn't even boil a drop of water, would scoop cold water from the jar to drink, and wouldn't even light the expensive kerosene lamp.
It made her catch a few more snakes, which really caused her trouble.
Zhang Wanhua's life was given to her by a miser!
Liu Chunsheng, who was keeping watch outside, gave a warning, and Luo Ning dared not linger any longer and immediately disappeared.
Yesterday, Luo Ning gave Wang Tiejun all the money he earned from selling grain and headdresses—a total of three thousand—so that he could find someone to build a workshop and install fifty stoves.
The picking of wild jujubes is still in full swing.
Villagers would go up the mountain every day to chop firewood and deliver it to Wang Tiejun's house to sell for money; Wang Tiejun's backyard was almost overflowing with it.
The workshop is under preparation, and Luo Ning has basically nothing to do right now, so she transforms into a goose down picking girl, squatting at home picking and picking.
Occasionally, listening to Zheng Xiu'e's gossip would lighten the monotonous task of picking goose down.
When she heard that Zhang Wanhua had been running a high fever recently and was talking nonsense about a snake coming to take revenge, she burst out laughing like a pig.
Luo Ning was also very cunning. After Zhang Wanhua gradually recovered and was able to go out and move around at night, he had Wang Tiejun, Liu Chunsheng, and Luo Hai take turns hanging straw ropes on the walls of Luo's and Zhang Wanhua's houses every day.
When the north wind blew, the straw rope slithered like a snake on the wall, scaring Zhang Wanhua so much that she wet herself and screamed like a banshee.
From then on, snakes became Zhang Wanhua's nightmare, and the days when she clung to the wall were gone forever.
Luo Ning's eldest and second uncles raised the courtyard wall by another three meters, completely eliminating the previous unpleasant incidents.
Luo Juan went to the town several times but there was no movement. Luo Ning strongly despised this, thinking, "Is this some kind of scholar-rebellion that has lasted for three years?"
As for Jian Yin, she was lying in bed, her old wounds hadn't healed and she had new ones.
Luo Ning was very satisfied with the situation. That bitch had coveted Xie Chang'an for so many years, harmed her, harmed her father, abducted Luo Jing, and was on the path to abducting her mother. If she didn't teach such a person a lesson, she wouldn't be Luo Ning.
Luo Juan eagerly awaited Luo Jing's arrival every day, but he never showed up, which made her extremely angry.
These past few days, Luo Jing has been rebelling at home, strongly declaring that she will not study anymore and wants to get married!
After being brutally beaten by Liu Aihong, he was left bruised and swollen, holed up at home crying.
Liu Donglan is starting school tomorrow, so she came to the village to find Luo Ning. She was sitting on a bench, picking goose down with great enthusiasm.
Without comparison, there is no gap.
Luo Ning sighed inexplicably, realizing that her sister, who was as good as a pig and as bad as a dog, was far inferior to Liu Donglan.
Moreover, this time her younger cousin revealed a detail that made her start to pay attention.
Luo Ning's gaze kept drifting towards her two uncles who were pouring cement according to her instructions.
Her second uncle has successfully mastered her design drawings and is now directing her eldest uncle to pour cement.
When Luo Hai got home, he said that Luo Ning was picking goose down. Apart from his second sister-in-law, that ugly woman, every single woman in his family had come to join Luo Ning's goose down picking team.
The task of picking goose down was completed quickly, and everyone who came to pick goose down received a goose as a reward.
Now, the geese at home have become the common currency in Luoning.
After processing the goose down, Luo Ning immediately used the sewing machine that came with her dowry to make a down jacket and a sleeping bag. The down content was as high as 90%, making them super warm.
She bought the camphor tree on the mountain with two large geese, and even took the mud from under the tree.
Luo Ning also discovered a huge surprise: the pond was flowing water with two springs, providing an inexhaustible supply. She was so impressed that she put her hands on her hips for a moment.
Luo Ning sawed off a section of the camphor tree; she wanted to make several small boxes to store things.
This morning, Luo Ning, along with her eldest uncle, her second uncle, Liu Chunsheng, Wang Tiejun, and Luo Hai, went up the mountain to bury the finished cement pipes in the ground and cover them with soil to restore them to their original state.
She plans to...
