She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 479: Chapter 492 Shameless

”Enough, enough.” Zhao Lanzi interrupted impatiently, ”I’m a landlord’s daughter, not some ’Proletariat’. I own fields and assets, and it’s all just been grabbed by scoundrels like you.”

”Uh... we were just fighting the landlords!” Xu Xianxiong felt wronged, ”Fighting the landlords was in response to the national call. Was I wrong to do so?”

”Get lost... You’re not wrong, it’s all my fault, okay?” This person really looked honest but was actually cunning.

”I’m telling you seriously, continuing like this will affect both of our families. I trust Ningning, but we can’t just do nothing.” Before she married Xu Xianxiong, the young girls and little wives from the ten miles and eight villages would walk a different route just to avoid him, and even the ones who were a bit more timid, could be scared into crying.

She had been skeptical back then, but the result was even more surprising to her.

Having found a husband who was so good at cherishing a wife in this lifetime satisfied her entirely, enough that she could die happy and meet her prematurely deceased father with a smile.

”So, what should we do?” Xu Xianxiong did not like to think, and he would leave important matters to his wife to handle.

”Let’s take a trip to Sheng Ning’s house!”

”Okay!”

The couple decided to set off immediately, got ready, and arrived at Sheng Ning’s house by noon.

Before entering the house, Sheng Laosan was squatting at the door smoking. He believed his daughter would never do such things, but he was worried that Ningning’s marriage could be affected.

Xu Qigang was their Liyang County’s hero, the pride of the community. Initially, it was their family who had reached higher by establishing a connection with him, and now with Ningning’s reputation being tarnished, if the Xu family wanted to call off the engagement, their family had no grounds to refuse.

What else could they do but agree?

This morning, his parents and older brother had called him over to ask him to personally go to the Xu family and propose to call off the engagement. To apologize, to state that Ningning was not worthy of Xu Qigang, and that she had tainted the Xu family’s reputation.

Sheng Laosan had flatly refused; Ningning’s happiness could not be destroyed like this.

Luhua was cooking in the kitchen, and Sheng An had not gone to sell bean sprouts today, feeding chickens in the yard instead.

The rumors were so nasty now, and her parents, fearing she would be taken advantage of, had refused to let her go out.

”An’an! Are you at home?” Qin Cuifen called out from outside the yard, smiling in her floral padded jacket.

Sheng An looked at her with disgust, ”No!” This woman had the nerve, after throwing dirt on her sister, to still come to their home.

”You girl, always joking,” Qin Cuifen laughed as she came in. ”Are you cooking lunch? There’s no one at our home today, so I’m not leaving at noon.” Before she had fallen out with Sheng Ning, she often used to stay for lunch at Sheng’s house instead of going home.

Even though Luhua’s cooking wasn’t tasty, she might have been trying to save every bit for the household. Her staying for lunch today wasn’t merely about sponging a meal.

She really wanted to learn the art of growing bean sprouts but also to irritably provoke them.

To make them lose their appetite.

Just as Sheng An was about to kick her out, she looked up and saw Xu Xianxiong and Zhao Lanzi standing behind Qin Cuifen.

”Uncle Xu!” Sheng An greeted him with a wide, ingratiating smile.

Although no one at home had mentioned it, she knew her grandparents and uncle were pushing them to break off the engagement with the Xu family.

She feared the Xu family might reject her sister.

Although she wasn’t keen on her sister marrying so soon, she didn’t want the engagement called off either.

”An’an, you’re being so polite today.” Xu Xianxiong greeted her cheerfully, his demeanor unchanged from before.
