Chapter 128: Chapter 128 She Was Kneeled Before_1
Uncle An Quangui, upon hearing this, only then remembered, "So you’re An Jing from the Lin family. I’ve heard about you, several villages know of you. News from your village always spreads easily. When you said your name was An Jing, I didn’t make the connection, but now it all clicks."
An Jing stopped smiling, "I am no longer An Jing of the Lin family, my name is An Jing."
Realizing his mistake, Uncle An Quangui quickly explained, "Girl, I didn’t mean anything by it, I just wanted to express that I’ve heard of you. If what I said made you uncomfortable, my apologies."
"Uncle Quan Gui, you don’t need to apologize. It’s just that I don’t want to be associated with the Lin family or those people from Jiuping Village anymore." An Jing could see that Uncle An Quangui truly was a good person.
Uncle An Quangui sighed, "Understood."
Shi Xiaolan observed An Jing’s expression for a while, and seeing that An Jing truly wasn’t angry, she then spoke up, "An Jing, I also heard that you and Brother Xiao are no longer from Jiuping Village. What are your plans for the future?"
"What plans can there be, just living like this," An Jing said quite casually. She had her husband now, and as long as he was with her, where they lived didn’t really matter.
"Why don’t you move to our village?" An Fu, who had been reserved and hadn’t spoken up until now, broke the silence. "Now that your surname is An, and our village people all share that surname, it would be fitting for you to move here. The people in our village are all very nice; they surely wouldn’t refuse to let you in."
An Quangui echoed, "I think that’s a good idea."
An Jing paused, then smiled gratefully, "Thank you for your kindness, but my husband and I have no plans to move at the moment. We’ll see about it later." Her current goal was to earn the money to buy a bull sooner rather than later.
An Fu and An Quangui didn’t press the issue.
But Shi Xiaolan felt somewhat disappointed. If An Jing moved to An Village, then they could always see each other, and she wouldn’t have to rely on rumors and hearsay to get news about An Jing.
Her parents had only given birth to her, she had no siblings, and she had always considered An Jing as her sister.
However, Shi Xiaolan didn’t insist, instead she asked, "Third Uncle mentioned you wanted tofu. What’s that about? My family makes tofu. After Fu Zi suffered a leg injury, he learned it from an elder in the village. But we’ve always struggled to sell it. We’re happy if we can sell five catties in a day. Today, we’ve only managed to sell two, and we still have several catties left. I’ll have Fu Zi wrap up two pieces for you to take home and eat."
There are many who can make tofu, and there are plenty who sell it too. The tofu business is indeed tough.
An Jing knew that when Shi Xiaolan said she would wrap up two pieces for her to take home, it meant she didn’t expect payment, making An Jing even more resolved to help Shi Xiaolan.
An Jing smiled, "You’re already having it so tough, and you still offer to wrap some up for me? Hehe... No, I don’t need you to wrap any for me. I want to buy tofu from you. I’m in the business of making fermented bean curd now, which is made from tofu. So, I need tofu, and quite a lot of it."
Only after glancing at her husband Xiao Changyi did An Jing continue, "This time, I might need around a hundred catties. What do you think, can you do it? If you can’t manage it all at once, you can give it to me over a few days. We’re not in a rush... Hey, what are you two doing? Get up quickly!"
As An Jing spoke, she saw Shi Xiaolan and An Fu suddenly kneel in front of her. No one had ever kneeled before her before, which startled her, making her quickly help Shi Xiaolan back to her feet.
