Chapter 271: Chapter 271: I’m Not Playing With You_1

Hearing Wang Youbao’s nearly childish words, An Jing couldn’t help but laugh. "Have you not considered our relationship? We are friends. Besides, haven’t most families in An Village left their fish for you?"

Wang Youbao was still somewhat angry, "We’re from the same village, so why is there such a disparity!"

An Jing said, "My husband and I were from Jiuping Village, and Xiao Lan was also from Jiuping Village. Do you see a big difference between the people of Jiuping Village and us?"

Wang Youbao immediately nodded, "Yes!" Then, he had a sudden realization, laughed, and sighed, "Money really is a good way to test someone."

An Jing knew that Wang Youbao was no longer angry, so she said nothing more to comfort him.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was November.

On this day, November 3rd, An Jing and Xiao Changyi were in the yard washing sweet potatoes, planning to start making vermicelli.

Making vermicelli involved several processes, and washing the sweet potatoes clean was just a preparatory step. There was still a long way to go before the vermicelli would be finished.

While An Jing and Xiao Changyi were talking and washing sweet potatoes, Yun Dame came over, bringing red eggs with her.

Handed two red eggs, An Jing was quite puzzled and asked, "Dame, what is this...?"

Yun Dame’s smile was so wide she could barely close her mouth, "Xiao Lan is pregnant again! I hope this time it’s a boy!"

Here, there was a custom that when someone was expecting a child, they would go door to door in the village to give away two red eggs.

An Jing slightly furrowed her brows with some distaste when Yun Dame expressed her hope for a boy, but she still said with a smile, "Congratulations, congratulations. Xiao Lan told me last time that she wants to have a few more children for Brother An Fu."

"That would be wonderful," Yun Dame was even happier. "Your uncle and I only ended up with Fu Zi as our child, and it’s really our hope that Fu Zi could have a few more brothers underneath him."

Again with the sons...

Aren’t daughters human too...

You yourself are also a woman...

An Jing suppressed the reluctance in her heart, her face showing none of it, until Yun Dame left. Only then did An Jing pout toward Xiao Changyi, making a silent accusation.

Xiao Changyi found An Jing’s expression very funny. He stopped washing the sweet potatoes and, drying his hands, pinched An Jing’s pouting lips. Seeing that her lips were still pouting, he pinched them again, and then, as if addicted to this little game, whenever An Jing continued to pout, he couldn’t help but pinch them once more.

An Jing: "..." I am complaining to you about the gender inequality of this era, not playing with you...

"Alright, stop playing," An Jing, unable to help laughing and crying at once, finally broke character and stopped silently pouting to Xiao Changyi.

Only then did Xiao Changyi cease his playfulness, tenderly pulled her into his embrace, and said, "I understand what’s on your mind, but this is just the way things are here, with some thoughts deeply ingrained." He paused, then added, "It’s not something you can change alone."

An Jing felt somewhat wronged, "I haven’t thought of changing them. Did you see me say anything to them? I’ve never criticized them for favoring sons over daughters."

Xiao Changyi’s lips curved up slightly, his forehead against hers, and after kissing her lips, he said, "You didn’t say it out loud, but you did say it in your heart."

Only then did An Jing laugh, "You really do understand me." Then she pretended to be relieved and said, "It’s good that I can’t have children. If I bore you a daughter, you’d probably be disgusted to death."

Xiao Changyi: "Are you trying to frustrate me, or yourself?"

An Jing immediately smiled mischievously, "Both~"
