When they were leaving, Ji Ying kept reminding them to come home whenever they had the time, to study hard, and not to worry about things at home.
Ji Ying watched her two children with reluctance, unable to let go even though she knew they were going off to school.
"Mom, just focus on picking the peppers, it doesn't matter how many." Xu Nianhua changed the subject and spoke to Ji Ying, then added, "It was good how you responded to Auntie Cai yesterday. Just tell them that Pei Yicheng is setting up a factory, so those gossipy people can see that Pei Yicheng is amazing even if he can't walk."
"You girl, don't mention his legs next time. It's been hard enough for him not being able to walk, don't poke at someone's sore spot," Ji Ying earnestly reminded her.
Xu Nianhua smiled in response. Leaving the village, she ran into the siblings Xu Zhiyuan and Xu Jiaojiao, and her smile instantly faded.
"Hmph."
