When I woke up, I was entangled by a rough guy with eight-pack abs

"Dowry, what dowry?"

"You are playing dumb, kid. Why don't you go home and see what's going on?"

Ning Ying immediately pushed the door open and walked in, only to see the floor filled with things. Even the sofa and bed were piled high with food, drinks, and toys, all from different places of origin.

Ning Na came out with a plate of braised chicken and braised beef in soy sauce: "What Qin Zhao sent is just right for dinner, so I don't have to cook."

"Were these all sent by Qin Zhao?"

"Yeah, it was a full half truckload. I also gave some to my neighbors. Otherwise, we wouldn't have enough space in our house."

Ning Ying was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Who would give gifts like this? This would use up his entire year's allowance.

Ning Na picked up a piece of braised beef in soy sauce for her: "Try it quickly. This is Yaocheng's braised beef in soy sauce. It's chewy and delicious. I think he bought these things from various rest stops on his way from Shancheng to Meicheng. He really put a lot of thought into it."

"Sister, please calculate how much these things cost. I will transfer the money to him when he returns to Jingping."

Ning Na immediately tapped Ning Ying's head with chopsticks: "You are so smart in other things, but why are you so stupid in this area? Qin Zhao doesn't want money, he just comes for you!"

"I know, but I can't give him an answer now, so I can't accept his kindness with peace of mind."

"Then tell me the truth, don't you have any feelings for Qin Zhao at all?"

Ning Ying's eyelashes trembled. Qin Zhao was an outstanding man in both appearance and character. No woman could resist him.

Seeing her sister's hesitation, Ning Na advised: "Xiaoying, women don't have many opportunities to meet good men. You have to seize them firmly. Don't be like your sister, who got stuck in the quagmire early and may never be able to turn over in this life."

"Besides, you have already drawn a clear line between you and Zhou. There is no need to lose this opportunity to meet someone who is sincere just to vent the anger in your heart. How many people can treat you sincerely in your life?"

Ning Ying immediately evaded the question, "Sister, Qin Zhao said to wait for me."

Ning Na was both happy and worried when she heard this: "Men are the most impatient. Don't let them wait too long. If someone takes advantage of you, you won't have anywhere to cry."

Ning Ying was a little embarrassed: "Sister, Qin Zhao is a soldier, I believe he will do what he says, and if a sincere relationship can't even last, then there is no need to continue."

"You, you always have so many twisted ideas."

Ning Ying looked Ning Na in the eye and said, "Sister, I'll say it again, you are not a piece of mud, but my best sister. From now on, I will take you with me wherever I go, and I will hold you by my side no matter how high I climb. Even if I become very successful one day, I will hold you by my side and stand at the top of the tower together."

Ning Na held back her tears and lowered her head to eat: "Eat quickly, or it will get cold if you don't eat now."

Ning Ying secretly said that what she said was from the truth. She must let her sister live a good life and would never let the tragedy of her previous life happen again.

As the report was released, drug dealers from other places came to order snake venom ointment one after another. As the orders increased and the workload grew, the demand for medicinal materials also surged.

Ning Ying asked Gu Jin to expand the scope of collecting medicinal materials to several nearby towns and villages. As for herself, she was busy preparing medicines in the warehouse. Even the medicinal materials in Qiaokou Village were handed over to Zhou San and his wife.

However, by the end of the month, Wednesday, the couple had not yet delivered the goods as agreed. And the herb in Qiaokou Village was an important raw material for the snake venom ointment. Ning Ying put down what she was doing and rode her bicycle to Qiaokou Village.

As soon as we turned into Zhou Sanjia's alley, we could see from afar that the walls were pitch black, as if they had been burned.

She parked her bicycle at the door and walked in, then heard Zhou San’s couple arguing.

"You wimp, an old woman shit on you and you don't even dare to fart!"

"Mother, this is not my fault. Aunt Wang said that Hongyang will be promoted soon. What if she deliberately rejects Xiaogang when she comes to recruit soldiers next year? Wouldn't we have delayed Xiaogang's future? Besides, you have beaten and scolded her, and Aunt Wang is lying on the ground and acting like a scoundrel. What can you do?"

Zhou San's wife burst into tears and said, "How can she be so shameless? We have finally made some money and can save enough to marry Xiaogang off. Why does she want to take our business away?"

"No matter what, Xiaoying and Wang Po are from the same family. She is angry that Wang Po treated her badly in the past. If Wang Po changes her temper and Xiaoying can turn her elbow out, we should just admit defeat and earn some hard labor money."

Zhou San's wife was so angry that she punched him: "With the little money you made, when can we rebuild the house? How can we help Xiao Gang get married?"

Ning Ying understood clearly that Wang Chunhua was probably jealous of the money Zhou and his wife made, so she wanted to take over the business of collecting medicinal materials. She also instigated discord between them, making the couple mistakenly believe that she would return to the Zhou family sooner or later, and the business would naturally belong to the Zhou family.

She had to admire Wang Chunhua's nerve. It seemed that she had survived the blow of the "Wild Buns" incident. It was time to give her a fatal blow.

"Third sister-in-law, as long as you work hard with me, we can build a new house next year."

As soon as they saw Ning Ying coming, Zhou San and his wife immediately calmed down and enthusiastically gave her their seats and cut melons for her.

"Sister Ning, this is the watermelon that your third brother soaked in the well water for most of the afternoon. Try two pieces to quench your thirst."

"Then I won't be polite."

Ning Ying said while eating melon: "Third sister-in-law, I'm in urgent need of medicinal materials over there, you have to hurry up."

"Sister Ning, you still want me to take it?"

"Why not? Sister-in-law has been doing a good job. I don't have the right to burn bridges after crossing them."

Zhou San's wife finally opened up: "Sister Ning, your mother-in-law is really a nobody. The night before yesterday, she secretly burned the herbs stored in my granary, and then spread the word that you two had reconciled a long time ago. As your mother-in-law, she wanted to be your right-hand man and let everyone put all the herbs with her."

Zhou San also said, "Yes, people outside say that you two are a family, and a family doesn't hold grudges overnight. In order to attract people to come, Wang Chunhua even said that she would give cash directly. Someone went to deliver it early in the morning."

Ning Ying immediately said, "Don't worry, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law. Wang Chunhua and I have a deal. I don't want any of the herbs she collected. From now on, you can just send the goods to the Yinhua Pharmaceutical Factory and we can count them in person."

Zhou San's wife excitedly held Ning Ying's hand and said, "Sister, you are my biological sister. I... I will kowtow to you!"

She was about to kneel down, but Ning Ying held her up. "Sister-in-law, I, Ning Ying, am not the kind of person who would burn bridges after crossing them. I remember all your kindness, but how come someone as strong as you was defeated by Wang Chunhua?"

"Sister, you don't know that Wang Chunhua is now a shameless scoundrel. She lets you beat and scold her, which makes me lose my temper. Besides, Hongyang is going to be promoted, and Xiaogang wants to join the army this year. Your third brother and I are afraid of ruining our sons' futures."

A sneer flashed across Ning Ying's lips: "It's okay, I'll break her spine, you and Third Brother can do whatever you want."
