Chapter 147: Bai Fengyu Borrows Vinegar

Chapter 147 Bai Fengyu Borrows Vinegar Ning Weidong greeted a few familiar neighbors and brought An Ning to the cross-courtyard. Behind him, there was a sudden burst of discussion. The main reason is that An Ning's dress is too eye-catching, and she is also a beauty. In terms of appearance and figure, she is second only to Bai Fengyu. But no matter how beautiful Bai Fengyu is, she comes from a humble family after all, and is less fashionable than An Ning. Besides, I'm used to seeing people coming in and out of the yard, so I'm not surprised anymore. Then there is Zhao Ruyu who came a few days ago. There is a saying that it takes three generations to raise a nobleman, and there is some truth to it. Zhao Ruyu's family started to prosper from Zhao's father's generation, but it has only been a few decades since they really started to rise. Zhao Ruyu is only the second generation. Although Zhao's father had left the army long ago, the Zhao family still has a strong military background. Zhao Ruyu was not a carefully trained lady from a noble family, but a tough girl who grew up in a wild way, with the same style as An Ning. "Hey, I say, Ning Weidong is really getting excited! What a guy..." Seeing Ning Weidong and the other person entering the moon gate across the courtyard, someone started talking behind their back.

"Isn't it? Each one is prettier than the other. This boy, fucking..." "Being an official is different. If only I could become a section chief at such a young age..." "Don't talk nonsense. You are not even as tall as three pieces of tofu when you jump up. It's useless for you to be the director. Which pretty girl would be interested in you..." Some of the younger ones were either jealous, envious, or simply chatting away, but they quickly went off topic and rambled on about other things. On the contrary, some older people or those who are more sophisticated did not speak carelessly. You must know that illness comes from the mouth and disaster comes from the mouth. Ning Weidong is no ordinary person now. He can say whatever he wants behind your back. If you really piss him off, and then turn around and catch someone who talks too much and make an example of him to scare the monkeys, it will be too late to regret it. Especially when it comes to matters between men and women, they are sometimes very taboo. Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu are among them. The two of them didn't say anything outside, and only started discussing when they got home: "Old man, what's going on? Didn't the girl surnamed Zhao who came a few days ago say that she was Ning Weidong's girlfriend? Why did she bring another one back?" Uncle Lu said, "How would I know? But this shouldn't be that kind of relationship, right? It doesn't seem like the two of them are that close." Aunt Lu curled her lips and said, "How can you bring him home if he's not close? Besides, Ning Weidong lives alone now, and this man and woman alone...tsk tsk tsk~" Uncle Lu didn't know what to say for a moment, and sighed, "It's better if nothing happens. It's not easy for Ning Weiguo and Ning Weidong to come out of our hospital, but now Ning Weiguo has moved away, and only Ning Weidong is left..." Aunt Lu knew what he was worried about and interrupted, "Hey, old man, do you think it's really possible to ask Ning Weidong to take care of our second son's problem?" Uncle Lu said, "Don't underestimate Ning Weidong, the deputy section chief of the Security Department. Let me tell you, in the factory right now, Li Peihang is the first one to take charge of the Security Department, followed by Ning Weidong. What happened to our second brother is nothing at all, it's just that the timing is not right now. Besides..." At this point, Uncle Lu sighed and said, "I'm a little unsure, mainly because Ning Weidong is too young. I'm afraid it won't last long." Aunt Lu nodded and said, "As the old saying goes, if you don't have hair on your lips, you can't do things well. That's right, after just a few days of good life, he started bringing women home." ……

On the other hand, in the cross-courtyard, the sisters Bai Fengyu and Bai Fengqin also knew that Ning Weidong brought back a beautiful and fashionable woman. This woman is not Zhao Ruyu. This made the two women have different thoughts in their minds. Bai Fengqin pretended to study hard, but her mind was not on the books. She was thinking secretly and wanted to go and take a look. She had accepted the fact that she was outdone by Zhao Ruyu before, after all, the sense of oppression Zhao Ruyu gave her was too strong after they met. It's not just the height, but also the difference in family background that makes her afraid to compete with Zhao Ruyu. It’s not that she has any feelings for Ning Weidong, it’s just that a woman’s competitive spirit is at work. In comparison, Bai Fengyu's mood was more complicated. She knew clearly that Ning Weidong's marriage partner could only be Zhao Ruyu. But her relationship with Ning Weidong was there, and she had never thought of marrying Ning Weidong. But besides Zhao Ruyu, she wanted to compete for it. We are all in an embarrassing relationship, so shouldn't there be a first come first served principle? I am also more curious about what kind of slut Ning Weidong could bring back home. With this mentality in mind, Bai Fengyu pursed her lips and immediately started dressing up. In this era, it is not that complicated for women to dress up. They just use this cream and that cream, or basically just a bottle of vanishing cream and a lipstick, which is considered good enough. In this era, what matters is the basics, not the technical content. In comparison, there are more styles of hairstyles. Bai Fengyu was clever and skillful. She quickly put her hair into a beautiful bun, changed into a crisp white shirt, and wore a pair of light-colored trousers tied with a belt to highlight her gourd-like figure... At this time, Bai Fengqin realized it and asked in surprise: "Sister, what are you doing?" Bai Fengyu choked and said perfunctorily: "I have something to do, don't worry about it, study hard, the college entrance examination will be in more than a month." When this was mentioned, Bai Fengqin's heart trembled. As the exam date approached, she felt more and more pressure. Immediately suppress the messy thoughts in your mind, focus your mind and continue studying. Bai Fengyu calmed herself down and went out to Ning Weidong's house. …… At Ning Weidong's house, An Ning just came back with him. This place is considered good in the slum, but it is definitely not to the liking of An Ning who moved to the Overseas Chinese Apartment. But An Ning didn't come here to show off her superiority. After walking around the room, he said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be able to keep the house so clean even though you live alone."

Ning Weidong took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, and asked, "Would you like some tea?" An Ning also took off her windbreaker and responded, "What kind of tea do you have?" Ning Weidong said: "This year's spring tea tastes pretty good." As he said that, he went to the kitchen, took a kettle, filled it with tap water, and put it on the gas stove. Since Ning Weiguo moved out, the biggest improvement Ning Weidong made to the house was adding a gas tank. Finally, I no longer have to use a coal-fired stove to cook or boil water. "The water is boiling, you are responsible for making the tea." Ning Weidong came out of the kitchen and took out the tea leaves from under the cabinet. An Ning responded with a smile. At this moment, Bai Fengyu's voice came: "Weidong, Weidong?" As he said that, he came in from outside, quickly glanced around, and his eyes fell on An Ning, pretending not to know: "Oh, there are guests~" But it was as expected in her heart that there was no ugly woman who could be related to a guy like Ning Weidong. When Ning Weidong saw that Bai Fengyu had guessed her thoughts, she didn't think anything of it. Instead, she felt secretly happy. "Sister Bai, is there something wrong?" Bai Fengyu looked at An Ning and quickly assessed her fighting ability. I quickly came to the conclusion that this woman was not easy to deal with. Her figure and appearance are both above eight points. Although she herself would rate it as nine points, for most men, the difference between eight points and nine points is actually not that big. Just like there is a big difference between 'a' and 'd', but there is really not much difference between 'd' and 'e'. Judging from her dress, Bai Fengyu was completely defeated. This is not important. From their outfit, we can tell that An Ning does not come from an ordinary family. Although Bai Fengyu didn't have much experience, she often went shopping in the mall. She had seen the pair of brown leather shoes on An Ning's feet in a department store, and the price was quite intimidating. Bai Fengyu's heart skipped a beat, but she couldn't understand what a girl of this background wanted from Ning Weidong? If it's really about getting married, it makes sense. But Ning Weidong has Zhao Ruyu, so it is impossible for him to marry anyone else. As for the rumor that she was deceived by Ning Weidong, Bai Fengyu also found it unlikely. Based on her understanding of Ning Weidong, he would never do such a thing. It’s not about Ning Weidong’s character, but the hidden dangers of this kind of thing are too great. With Ning Weidong’s smartness, he will never fall into the trap. However, with this thought in mind, Bai Fengyu felt relieved. Such a woman probably shouldn't be her competitor, so even if there is any worry, it should be Zhao Ruyu who should be worried. With this conclusion, Bai Fengyu's smile became more natural, and she said embarrassedly: "I didn't know you had guests. I made some dumplings at home and ran out of vinegar. I want to borrow some vinegar from you." In those days, it was common for neighbors to borrow salt and vinegar from each other. The supply of non-staple food was not so abundant, especially at the end of the month, and sometimes you could only borrow enough after borrowing from everyone.

"Yeah~" Ning Weidong said with a hint of amusement: "I'll take it for you~" Then he got up and went to the kitchen. Bai Fengyu and An Ning were left staring at each other, both feeling uncomfortable. Although he was sure that An Ning and he were not on the same track, the relationship between this woman and Ning Weidong was definitely unusual. Similarly, An Ning was also somewhat wary of Bai Fengyu. Not for any other reason, the fact that Bai Fengyu is prettier than her is enough. Fortunately, Ning Weidong quickly came out with a vinegar bottle, handed it to Bai Fengyu and said, "Sister Bai, what kind of dumplings do you want to make?" Bai Fengyu's face turned red. She just made up an excuse and it was useless to make dumplings. But when Ning Weidong asked, he couldn't let it slip: "Uh, cabbage, pork and cabbage." Ning Weidong nodded: "It must be delicious." Bai Fengyu heard that there was something behind his words, so she didn't dare to reply, and quickly said, "You have guests, I'll leave first." Without waiting for Ning Weidong to respond, he turned around and left. When I got home, I immediately put on an apron and started kneading the dough. Bai Fengqin, who was studying, asked in surprise: "Sister, what are you doing? Didn't you just finish your meal?" Bai Fengyu also regretted the excuse she had just made, thinking to herself, what can I do? I have a living ancestor who wants to eat dumplings with pork and cabbage. But I couldn't say it directly, so I perfunctorily said: "You are too tired from studying, I will make some dumplings, and when you get hungry in the middle of the night, I will cook them for you as a midnight snack." When the silly girl Bai Fengqin heard it, she didn't take it seriously. Her eyes suddenly felt sore and she almost cried. …… On the other side, at Ning Weidong’s house. As soon as Bai Fengyu left, An Ning showed a meaningful expression and said without hesitation: "That was your lover just now?" Ning Weidong said: "Don't talk nonsense, the bad guy is innocent." An Ning curled her lips: "Innocent? You have the nerve to do that." Just then, the water in the kitchen boiled. She went to fill the thermos without being pretentious, and then made tea while teasing, "I didn't expect you to be so resourceful. The woman's plate was so pretty." Ning Weidong didn't want to argue with him on this issue, so he didn't respond and asked, "You came to me today, not just to discuss such meaningless issues, right~" An Ning said calmly, "Okay~ An Zhiyuan is urging me again, so I have no choice but to come." Ning Weidong chuckled and said, "He's anxious, tell him to calm down first, this isn't a dinner invitation." An Ning was not in a hurry. While making tea, she said, "That's what I said, but you have to make some progress on your side~" Ning Weidong said calmly: "What progress does he want? I just went to see Mr. Zhao at noon today. Does this count as progress?"

An Ning's eyes lit up. She came here today just to please An Zhiyuan and go through the motions. Unexpectedly, Ning Weidong gave her a big one! Going to the Zhao family to meet the old man of the Zhao family means that Ning Weidong, the son-in-law, has been recognized by the Zhao family. This is quite critical. If Ning Weidong is not confirmed as the son-in-law, everything else is unrealistic fantasy. But for An Ning, Ning Weidong's progress is crucial. This means that Ning Weidong's position is now secure, and she can take the opportunity to gain more substantial support from settling down overseas. Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows: "Why, you are happier than me to have my son-in-law come to your house?" An Ning smiled sweetly: "Of course I'm happy. From now on I'll have your support." As she said this, she threw a seductive glance at him and directly hugged Ning Weidong's arm. Through the thin shirt, Ning Weidong could clearly feel the elasticity of An Ning's chest. Ning Weidong glanced at her and said, "If Ruyi knew that you seduced her lover, with your tiny arms and legs, she would beat you so hard that you couldn't take care of yourself. Do you believe it?" An Ning said pitifully: "If that really happens, would you feel bad?" Ning Weidong smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can't feel sorry for you. Think about it~ You can't take care of yourself anymore, eating and defecating on the kang, how would that taste? Even if it was the most beautiful woman, I wouldn't be interested in her." An Ning's face turned black: "You bastard, do you know how to speak? You are the one who eats and poops on the kang~" He shook his hand, turned around, and slapped Ning Weidong on the back of his head. Ning Weidong didn't try to coax her, but just drank his tea. After he finished a cup, he calmly said, "Okay, no more jokes." When An Ning heard this, she calmed down and turned around. Ning Weidong motioned for her to add more water to the tea, and asked slowly, "What do you think about the future? Do you want to use the resources of the original An family to make some money?" An Ning frowned, somewhat confused about what Ning Weidong meant. But with her mind, it was not difficult to hear the naked temptation contained in Ning Weidong's words. She has always been an ambitious woman, how could she be content with a small fortune? Otherwise, she would not have treated An Zhiyuan and the Hong Kong An family in this way. But she was a little confused about what Ning Weidong meant by saying this. (End of this chapter)
