Chapter 55

her harshly, and she cut off her monthly allowance of two dollars and fifty cents. She didn't even bother to open the letters anymore.From now on, she's got to earn her own living!The cashier eyed he..."Thank you," she said with a smile, her eyes crinkling at the corners.

Róng Zhāonán looked at the eyes as black as grapes, looking at himself. His eyes were curved like two crescent moons, and he lowered his eyes: "Hmm."

"You both sleep on the same bed, under the same quilt, and you've finished everything, why are you still being polite with each other like neighbors" Grandma Xia suddenly blurted out.

Ning Yuan: "......cough cough cough."

Rong ZhaoNan: "...."

The old woman's words revealed the truth.

Tang Lao impatiently interrupted Xia A-po's words: "Enough, old woman, the young girl has thin skin, you should say less."

Saying that, he looked at Ning Yuan and apologized somewhat awkwardly: "Xiao Yuan, I'm really sorry. My old wife is just so outspoken."

Ning Yuan chuckled softly: "It's fine, it's fine."

Rong Zhaonan stood up and glanced at the roof beams: "I see that the straw on top of the roof is all rotten. I'll replace it for you."

Ning Yuan also quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, this house is both dilapidated and damp. Living here without getting sick would be a miracle. How about I ask around at Zhi Shu's place to see if there are any slightly better vacant houses we could move to"

She really didn't want to talk about that kind of thing, like chives and male enhancement, anymore.

Rong Zhaonan was checking the straw on the roof and glanced at her faintly: “What’s this Have you gotten close to the village head recently that you can start arranging houses”

Ning Yuan took a bite, then furrowed her graceful brow: "I only saw that there's a land temple near the forest, and it's empty inside. Wouldn't it be better to live there than here"

Before the big movement, the shrine in the Land Temple was demolished along with all the statues. Now it's just an empty room used by villagers to store straw.

Rong Zhao nan narrowed his eyes and let out a sneer: "Naive and foolish, you don't even know why Lao Tang and Grandma Xia are staying here, and you've already started arranging for other people."

Ning Yuan turned cold: "What's with the double-speak"

Tang Lao hurriedly interjected, trying to smooth things over: "Xiao Yuan, our identities are not suitable. We're here for reform. If we lived in an empty temple, it would be extremely detrimental."

Ning Yuan was taken aback and hesitantly asked Tang Lao, "I truly don't know your and Xia A-po's identities. May I ask about your two positions If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."

She had never inquired about it before.

Ning Yuan's politeness left Tang Lao stunned for a moment before he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, with our status, you can just ask anyone in the village and they'll know."

He said, "I used to be a teacher's assistant and a smelly old ninth. I was once a professor at Fu Da University and knew some traditional Chinese medicine. I even ran a clinic."

Ning Yuan was stunned, ten thousand grass mud horses running wild in her heart— Professor Fu Da!

She could never have met such people in her past life! In this day and age, which professor doesn't have real talent and learning

"That summer, Grandmother Xia..." Ning Yuan asked cautiously, "Could it be that Grandmother Xia was truly a noblewoman"

Lao Tang smiled: "She's from our village, just a landowner's wife."

Ning Yuan nodded slightly: "That makes sense..."

It turns out that the ingredients were really bad. Xia A Po is the village landlord's wife.

How could a peasant woman from the countryside in Southeast China, who never went to school, possibly end up with a professor from Shanghai Fudan University, such an accomplished intellectual

Could it be an arranged marriage, like that of Lu Xun and his illiterate wife Zhu An

It seemed to have seen Ning Yuan's question.

"Old Tang continued, 'This village and the land of several neighboring villages all belong to her. Her father, after becoming successful in the banking business in the provincial capital, also took her to live there.'"

Looking back, Lao Tang's eyes softened as he smiled: "Later she went to study in Britain. At the racetrack, I saw her riding a horse with such grace and vigor at first glance. It was her! We started writing letters to each other and fell in love."

Ning Yuan: "..."

Originally, the person with the least culture and education in the whole place was this reborn fellow.an once that she hoped their love would be as good as it was at the beginning, even when they were both old and gray.Qin Wentian looked up at the second floor again, fell silent for a moment, and then...
