Chapter 2 Washing hands and making soup

An Ning decisively took out the money, carefully put it away in the basket, and was about to buy other daily necessities when she heard a sarcastic laugh.

"Hey, who do I think you are? You are newly married, why are you going to the market alone? My brother-in-law is not caring enough!"

An Ning followed the sound and dug her nails into her palms.

In her previous life, in order to take away the huge inheritance left by Xue Jingmo in her hands, her cousin An Jing joined forces with Shen Pei, whom she had always liked, to kill her!
  Fortunately, he left a will in advance and wanted to donate the money to children in impoverished mountainous areas after his death, so they failed in the end.

But she hurt Xue Jingmo hundreds of times because of Shen Pei. Xue Jingmo was such a good man. Looking back now, she really wanted to slap herself a few times so that she could sober up!

But now that she is reborn, she must make up for her past life and live a good life with Xue Jingmo.

But now she met the enemy from her previous life, and hatred suddenly hit her like waves in the sea.

She gritted her teeth and whispered two words: "Quiet!"

Jing Jing's face was full of gloating. The atmosphere of the 1980s was not considered open, but she hooked the arm of the man next to her in a very flamboyant manner and leaned closer to him as if he was deliberately showing off.

"Shen Pei, why don't you say hello to my sister?"

Shen Pei was also very cooperative. He was young and had a pretty face. He thought he was in his prime and charming. He smoothed back his straight hair and said hello with a smile: "Are you coming out to the market too? "

An Ning raised her eyebrows, feeling proud, so what if An Ning was better looking than her?
  So what if Shen Pei is the man An Ning likes? He still belongs to her!

And An Ning and Xue Jingmo's illegitimate son of unknown origin are the perfect match!
  An Ning's eyes were scarlet, and she wished she could pounce on him and stab him in order to relieve the hatred in her heart!
  But, she can't.

In this life, she decided to live a good life with Xue Jingmo, and she couldn't let it be ruined because of these two scumbags!
  Her eyes were cold and she walked past them casually: "A good dog doesn't block the way."

"Oh! So angry." Jing Jing glanced at her sideways: "Aren't you just jealous that I married Shen Pei and our relationship is still so good?"

Shen Pei's face also darkened, with a serious expression: "Comrade An Ning, I know you had a crush on me before, but now that I'm married, please stop harassing me and my wife..."

An Ning laughed angrily when she heard this, turned around and took a bowl of hot soy milk from the breakfast stall selling fried dough sticks and soy milk, and poured it on Shen Pei's greasy face.

"You two are really well matched. One of you is shameless, and the other is shameless!"

She swiftly took out three cents and slapped it in front of the stall owner.

An Ning feels guilty for wasting food, but it’s worth it!

Shen Pei's face was burned red by the soy milk. There were too many people in the market. It was difficult for him to hit a woman, otherwise he would definitely not let An Ning go so easily!

His hair was stuck to his face, his face was dark, and his eyes were dark: "An Ning, aren't you just angry because I didn't marry you! Don't think you can attract my attention just because you are like this!"

"With your face, why do you need cowhide for cowhide shoes?" An Ning's eyes were full of mocking coldness: "I should use your face to make shoe uppers. No matter how hard I step on them, they won't break!"

"Don't be ignorant..."

Shen Peigang approached her and was about to say some harsh words.

Just like An Ning saw a fly, he couldn't avoid it.

"Hey, why does your mouth smell so bad?"

Feeling the strange looks from the people around him, Shen Pei's back stiffened.

An Ning pinched her nose and retched uncontrollably: "Stay away from me, or I'll vomit all my food the next night... yuck!" Shen Pei wanted to save face the most. There were many people in the market, and they all crowded around to watch the excitement. He just couldn't bear it.

"Let's wait and see!" Jing Jing and Shen Pei glared at her fiercely and walked away in embarrassment.

The disgusted An Ning lost interest in wandering around and was about to go home when she saw someone shouting about selling isatis root seeds.

An Ning stopped, remembering that a few months after getting married in his previous life, a hepatitis A outbreak broke out in the county, and isatis root suddenly became a scarce item.

Unfortunately, she was infected. Xue Jingmo went to many places to find medicine for her, and finally got some for her...

She looked at the isatis root seeds in front of her and had an idea.

An Ning, who originally just wanted to buy some for a rainy day, suddenly thought that growing isatis root now was a huge business opportunity. This was also an opportunity for her to be reborn.

She suppressed her excitement and spent two yuan to buy four kilograms of seeds, enough to plant an acre of land.

After all, she had little experience and didn’t dare to buy too much at once.

Carrying a full backpack, An Ning returned home in a happy mood.

Xue Jingmo is not here, he should still be working in the fields at this moment, and the house is empty.

An Ning has never met Xue Jingmo's parents. She only knows that his mother is an educated youth who went to the countryside and got pregnant out of wedlock.

Not long after she came here, she gave birth to Xue Jingmo, and she was criticized by many people behind her back.

Xue Jingmo's mother never told him who his father was, and she dealt with the rumors in silence. She passed away when Xue Jingmo was thirteen years old.

But An Ning knew that Xue Jingmo's father was not simple. In his previous life, Xue Jingmo was not discovered by Chu’s father until he joined the army and rose to prominence...

After throwing away her thoughts, An Ning went to the private plot in the backyard, picked a pumpkin, washed and selected a handful of fresh beans.

There was a little minced meat left in the cupboard. An Ning sauteed it with onions and ginger until fragrant, then poured the pumpkin and beans in, and cut a few more potatoes.

On the other side, she scooped a spoonful of flour, rolled it into a cake, opened the lid of the pot, spread the cake on the vegetables and stewed it together.

An Ning thought for a while, Xue Jingmo was doing strenuous work now, so he needed to replenish himself. He beat two more eggs, made a bowl of water custard, and steamed them together on the steamer.

After adding a handful of firewood to the stove, she went to the room to clean up the house.

When Xue Jingmo came back from the fields, he could smell the aroma of food from afar.

He paused in his steps. Whose food is so delicious?
  Xue Jingmo followed the smell and unexpectedly arrived at his home. Standing in the courtyard, he saw the chimney of the kitchen house, still letting out smoke.

He looked slightly shaken, put the farm tools in the corner, and patted the dust on his trousers legs.

After carefully entering the door, Xue Jingmo did not see An Ning's figure.

A bad thought came to mind. Could it be that she had left while she was away?

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Xue Jingmo's forehead, and his face turned slightly blue.

He should have known that what she said last night and what she said this morning was probably a lie to him!
