From then on, Aunt Yu spread gossip about Ji Ning everywhere near the house, saying that Ji Ning dressed up beautifully every day to seduce men, and that she had several lovers besides Fu Tao. She spread all kinds of nasty things.

Fu Tao also heard what she said and asked Ji Ning to stop dressing so uniquely. He hoped that she could dress more simply like an ordinary girl.

Ji Ning had a quarrel with him over this matter. Is it wrong to love beauty? It's not her fault, why should she change?

Every morning when Ji Ning went out, she would find traces of water at the door.

This Aunt Yu poured the foot washing water every night, deliberately pouring it at the door of her house, and pouring it when no one was around.

So on a cold winter day, Ji Ning also carried a basin of water for washing feet and climbed up the ladder. On the other side of the wall, Aunt Yu was collecting clothes that had just been dried in the sun in the field next door, humming a leisurely tune.

"Chila——"

Through the wall, the foot washing water splashed all over Aunt Yu's head and face.

"Who?"

Aunt Yu screamed, suspecting that it was Ji Ning, but she couldn't find any evidence.

Seeing Ji Ning coming back, Aunt Yu had almost finished her words. Thinking of Zhou's mother's disgusted look, she was also rebellious and stuffed two bottles of stinky fermented bean curd into her hand. "I'll give it to you. This thing smells stinky, but tastes delicious. You'll know when you try it."

"Thank you, really."

Aunt Yu just couldn't understand how anyone could not like such a good thing.

It must be that these scholars pretended to be noble and forced it on her, so Aunt Yu left...

Zhou's mother held the two bottles of stinky fermented bean curd, not knowing whether to throw them away or not.

I always feel that throwing it away is not polite.

"Mom doesn't like it?"

"Ah."

A hand reached out without hesitation, and Ji Ning handed it to an aunt next to her. The aunt took it and thanked her repeatedly.

So everyone is happy.

Mother Zhou looked at her empty hands, then at Ji Ning's bright smile, and suddenly felt relaxed. Sometimes she really thought too much.

Along the way, Ji Ning didn't mention what happened to Aunt Yu just now.

Mother Zhou looked uncertain, "Ji Ning?"

"Hmm?" Ji Ning had already guessed what she was going to say. Even Fu Tao advised her to dress like an ordinary girl.

Her mother-in-law was so concerned about her reputation that she didn't even dare to throw away the stinky fermented bean curd for fear of gossip. She must have felt uncomfortable after hearing what Aunt Yu said.

Just ask, she is used to it anyway.

Ji Ning closed her eyes. In the past two years, no matter where she went, there were people talking about her behind her back.

At first, I felt a pain in my heart when I heard it, but later on, I was too lazy to even explain it.

She went to find her mother, but her mother tried to persuade Aunt Yu to no avail. Aunt Yu insisted that it was not her who spread the rumor and that she was just acting without any evidence.

Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and splashed Aunt Yu with the foot washing water.

"Just now, a woman came to me and said she was Aunt Yu from your mother's family. She said you have a bad reputation in your mother's family..."

Ji Ning suddenly opened her eyes.

I'm afraid Aunt Yu never expected that her mother-in-law would not make things difficult for her secretly, but would tell her the matter directly.

After all, in her previous life, Fu Tao's mother was wary of her like a thief. When she went out to discuss business, Fu Tao's mother also said sarcastically, "Who are you wearing this beautiful dress for?"

When the two quarreled afterwards, her mother-in-law said, "Why did Aunt Yu catch you and say that you didn't spread Ji Wei's nonsense? In the end, it was you who was caught by the pigtail."

Ji Ning smiled bitterly and told her about the conflict between her and Aunt Yu.

Since her mother-in-law was frank, she would be frank too.

As for what her mother-in-law thinks, that is her mother-in-law's business.

Zhou's mother was shocked. "She has been spreading lies about you for two years?"

In her world, she had never seen such a stingy and unreasonable person. It was really hard to imagine.

"Yeah." Ji Ning sighed. She had no place to vent all these grievances. Now that she had said it out, she felt much better.

Mother Zhou's face darkened. After a pause, she said, "Ji Ning, are you going to take the college entrance exam?"

"Ah."

"If you have any difficulties, tell me. I don't have any other skills, but I know a lot of teachers."

Ji Ning touched her nose. After coming back, the liberal arts were better, but mathematics was the most difficult. "Math is a little bit bad."

"Okay, I'll find Professor Liu for you." Mother Zhou seemed more motivated, her cheeks puffed up, and she seemed to be gritting her teeth, "You must do better than her Tianyou in the exam."

Ji Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay."

…………

The two of them came back carrying large and small bags, and Butler Li hurried to greet them, his face looking worried.

Mother Zhou saw that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The eldest lady is back." After saying that, he quickly took the bags from the two men's hands, to prevent the eldest lady from seeing them and getting even more angry.

"Butler Li!"

However, it was too late. Butler Li had just taken the bag from the lady.

A woman walking towards him in a hurry appeared in Ji Ning's sight.

Her facial features are quite similar to Zhou Jingmo's, with heroic eyebrows, and even a bit of a masculine look.

But looking at it this way, it is still extremely beautiful.

She has deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge. Unlike Zhou Jingmo, her lips are not as thin, but fuller and more colorful.

Is this the fierce sister-in-law that Ji Wei mentioned before?

Zhou Zhixi looked at them angrily, and at the same time, looked at Ji Ning.

Zhou Zhixi did not agree with her brother's behavior.

After rejecting the marriage proposal from the Ji family, many good girls liked him.

But she guessed that he was afraid of trouble. If he turned it down, his mother would have to arrange another blind date for him.

Then, as usual, he asked for her opinion.

She remembered that when they were little, he asked her whether he would go to No. 2 High School or No. 1 High School. She chose No. 2 High School, and he resolutely chose No. 1 High School.

Later, he asked her whether he would go to the hospital or to university after graduation. She said both were fine, so he ended up going into business.

Well, he was using her to eliminate the wrong answers, right?

So this time, she did the opposite. She said, then you should marry into the Ji family. Anyway, you don’t hate the sister in the Ji family, right?

She said this on purpose, but unexpectedly, he actually agreed this time.

Zhou Zhixi neither liked nor hated Ji Ning. After all, she had never met her. She had only heard Ji Wei talk about her.

She and Ji Wei got along pretty well. Every time Ji Wei gave her something, it was exactly what she wanted, unlike other people who gave her girlish jewelry, hairpins, and pearl cream.

The gifts Ji Wei gave her were leather jackets, watches and the like, which really touched her heart.

But Ji Wei cheated on her brother, which was intolerable, and it was not her place to interfere in her brother's marriage.

So she didn't say anything until two days ago, when she received a call from her aunt.

"How can an outsider take better care of Tongtong than our family members? She just wants to take root in this family, so she exaggerates."

"Zhixi, let me tell you, with her here, it's impossible for me to go to your house to help."

She hurriedly took leave and rushed home. Although she didn't like her aunt very much, she was still a family member. Could she really feel more at ease leaving her to an outsider than to a family member?

When I got home, I asked Butler Li and found out that my aunt really hadn't been here for several days.

This would have been impossible in the past. It seemed that my aunt was really determined.

She was about to ask in detail when she suddenly heard crackling sounds coming from the living room.
