When they were leaving, Ji Ying kept reminding them to come home whenever they had time, to study hard, and not to worry about things at home.
Ji Ying looked at the two kids, reluctant to let them go, even though she knew they were just going to school, she still couldn't bear it.
"Mom, just go ahead and harvest the chili peppers, it doesn't matter how many," Xu Nianhua changed the subject and spoke to Ji Ying, then added, "The way you talked back to Aunt Cai yesterday was great, just say Pei Yicheng is starting a factory now. Let those gossipy people see for themselves—even if Pei Yicheng can't walk, he's still incredible."
"You girl, next time don't mention his leg. He can't walk as it is, that's already tough enough—you can't keep poking at his sore spot," Ji Ying reminded her earnestly.
Xu Nianhua replied with a smile, but the moment she left the village, she ran into Xu Zhiyuan and Xu Jiaojiao. The smile on Xu Nianhua's face instantly faded.
"Hmph."
