My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

"Mrs. Yang, you don't know yet, do you? Yingying is my family's newly recognized granddaughter. She was switched at birth when she was little, and she's only just been brought back. Nobody in the village knows yet."

"Who would have thought that someone from the Xu family would be so kind-hearted, unlike that wretched Xu Daya who, upon learning that her biological parents were wealthy landowners in the county, rushed off to them without any consideration for the hardships the Xu family endured raising her for so many years."

"It has to be Yingying, she's kind-hearted and a good person. Luckily, she met her."

Grandma Xu kept talking.

Yang Fenglan: "..."

Your Xu family is so good that you despise your family for being poor and ran back to the city overnight to find your adoptive parents.

“Mrs. Yang, I know your temperament. Your son is just like you, a rare good boy. In our Qingshui Village, everyone is envious of you. Not only do you have a good son, but you also married a good daughter-in-law.”

Yang Fenglan responded with a smile, "Not at all, not at all."

Grandma Xu waved her hand, "We're all from the same village, so let's talk things out. I know you hate owing favors; once you owe someone something, it'll bother you like a cat scratching at your heart, and you won't be able to rest easy."

“I came all this way because I was worried that you might feel burdened.”

"You flatter me, you flatter me," Yang Fenglan quickly said.

“We’re all having a tough time, so I was thinking of giving you some vegetables, oil, cloth, or something. What do you think?” said Old Mrs. Xu.

Upon hearing this, Yang Fenglan was deeply moved; the old lady was truly kind-hearted.

Upon learning that Zhou Jingyi had broken his leg while saving her granddaughter, she immediately went to his home to discuss a token of her gratitude.

But... if you want to give it, just give it directly. Why bother asking someone?

Yang Fenglan was actually a little embarrassed to ask for it directly.

"Auntie, you're too kind. Please take whatever you have at home; I won't be picky at all. Even if you don't give me anything, it's fine. It's only right for neighbors to help each other."

"What? Me, for you?" Old Mrs. Xu was stunned, then stood up abruptly. "What kind of pipe dream are you having? My granddaughter saved your son; she's your family's savior. Your family should give me a gift of thanks!"

huh?

Why did you suddenly turn on me like that?

Yang Fenglan looked up at Old Lady Xu and blinked innocently, "That's not right, it was my son who saved your granddaughter."

She just gave a special explanation.

"Ha~ I'm so angry I almost laughed." Old Mrs. Xu said, "Mrs. Yang, I thought you were a reasonable person, but I didn't expect you to be such an ingrate. My grandson saw with his own eyes that it was Xu Yingying who carried your son back. She is my granddaughter. She saved your son, so it's only right that I ask you for some thanks."

"..."

Yang Fenglan discovered that when people are speechless to the extreme, they become even more speechless.

“It’s your granddaughter, she was in the county town today…” Yang Fenglan suddenly paused.

I almost forgot, Grandma Xu's granddaughter is now my best friend.

In this era, a girl's reputation is very important.

If she were to say that Xu Yingying was almost molested by several men and that Zhou Jingyi saved her, given how quickly Old Madam Xu could turn on her, she would not only not believe her, but would also turn around and accuse her.

It's not good for her or her best friend.

Yang Fenglan looked at her best friend with a troubled expression.

Xu Yingying smiled and said, "Grandma, I know what you're thinking. Come with me first, I have something to tell you."

"what?"

"You'll see when you come with me." Xu Yingying pulled Old Lady Xu along and walked out without saying another word.

"Yingying!" Yang Fenglan chased after her anxiously.

Xu Yingying didn't turn her head, raised her hand and made an "OK" gesture, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Old Mrs. Xu: "You've got it sorted out? You brat, just don't cause me any more trouble. What exactly do you want to say to me?"

The two disappeared at the gate, walking further and further away.

Yang Fenglan hesitated for a moment and did not chase after him.

She was well aware of her best friend's capabilities.

Children from wealthy families can attend all sorts of tutoring classes from a young age.

Xu Yingying had no interest in poetry or literature, but she had been learning Taekwondo since childhood, so Yang Fenglan trusted her completely.

I still have a lot of mess to clean up at home, so I'll clean it up first before I go chat with my best friend.
