Chapter 217 - 217 Reminder

217 Reminder

Ning Yue had originally thought that there might be many families like Wang Jing’s. Even if she could help the entire workshop’s female workers, she could not help all the women other than the female workers.

She wanted to use Wang Jing’s matter as a warning to others. With Wang Jing as a typical example, others would have to think twice before thinking about favoring boys over girls.

Thoughts spread slowly.

“Why? Auntie, do you want to introduce me to your in-laws?” Ning Yue asked.

When Madam Li heard this, an even uglier smile appeared on her face. “To be honest, my son is also unmarried and has a lot of money at home. I thought that when my son gets married in the future, I’ll give him three hundred taels as betrothal money.”

It was not an ordinary family. Ordinary rich families did not even use 300 taels a year!

The reason why Madam Li was so generous was that Ning Yue had opened a brewery. She thought that after Ning Yue entered the family, the three hundred taels would still return to her.

Hearing Madam Li’s words, Ning Yue immediately understood what she was planning.

“Oh? Auntie, which girl have you taken a fancy to?” Ning Yue pretended to be confused.

The smile on Madam Li’s face instantly froze. She had just asked if she wanted to introduce her to her in-laws, but now she actually changed the topic.

She had taken a fancy to Ning Yue as her daughter-in-law!

However, she couldn’t say this openly, afraid that Ning Yue would leave.

“My son is very outstanding. He’s…”

Madam Li was about to list Wang Da’s strengths one by one when she heard Ning Yue call out, “Wang Jing! You’re here!”

Madam Li’s expression instantly turned ugly. When Madam He and the sisters-in-law saw Madam Li’s expression, they held back their laughter for a long time.

The way the bad guy looked defeated was hilarious.

“Why didn’t she arrive early or late? Why did she have to arrive at this time?” Madam Li muttered to herself.

“Auntie, what are you talking about?” Ning Yue smiled at Madam Li.

Madam Li hurriedly shut her mouth. These words could not be said in front of Ning Yue. She walked up to Wang Jing and gave her a sharp look where Ning Yue could not see.

After the warning, Madam Li continued to smile. “My sensible girl. She didn’t even tell Mother when she went to work in the fields. It wasn’t easy to find her.”

Ning Yue sneered. Wasn’t this contradictory? Previously, she had said that she had asked Wang Jing to work in the fields. Now, she was saying that Wang Jing had worked in the fields herself and didn’t tell her.

“Auntie just said that you asked her to work in the fields. Brother is busy at home, and she’s busy in the fields, right?” Ning Yue asked.

“Look at me. I’m old and my brain isn’t working well. I was the one who called her over. I planned to let her eat before going to the fields, but Wang Jing refused to listen. Perhaps she wanted to return to the brewery after work,” Madam Li said.

This woman could really turn white into black. Amazing.

Ning Yue sized up Wang Jing without batting an eyelid. She was not wearing a jade pendant. It seemed that the Wang family had taken that jade pendant.

“Let’s go, let’s go. The esteemed guest is here. Let’s go home first.” Madam Li pretended to support Wang Jing, but in fact, she pinched her hard.

She was warning Wang Jing that if she dared to speak nonsense, she would suffer.

Wang Jing pursed her lips and did not say anything. Ever since Ning Yue called her just now, she had not said a word. She wanted to greet her but was interrupted by Madam Li.

Madam Li and Father Wang were both farmers. If Wang Jing had not entered Ning Yue’s brewery to work, they would have never seen more than a hundred taels of silver in their lives.

Due to money, they had many more improper thoughts.

For example, now, even Wang Jing could tell that Madam Li wanted Ning Yue to be her daughter-in-law.

What a joke. Not to mention Ning Yue’s fiancé, just with Ning Yue’s status, how could someone with such an identity like her fancy a lazy person like Wang Da?

On the way, Madam Li kept winking at Wang Jing, wanting her to say something good. However, Wang Jing kept her head lowered and pretended not to see it.

Her performance angered Madam Li to death, but because Ning Yue was beside her, Madam Li did not dare to attack Wang Jing.

After returning to the Wang family, Father Wang and Wang Da changed from their previous neglect to polite enthusiasm. Ning Yue felt disgusted.

She suppressed her displeasure and asked Madam Li, “Is your son not married yet?”

Hearing Ning Yue’s question, the three of them were overjoyed. Only Wang Jing was shocked.

Wang Jing didn’t care what the three of them thought. “Boss, although my brother isn’t married yet, Mother has already found a wife for him. We’re just waiting for an auspicious day. Why are you asking?”

She was also giving Ning Yue a reminder.
