Chapter 381 Picking up the Ring
Lingxi: “…”

"Oh, you are such good mothers."

Lingxi didn't care whether they really wanted to catch fish or were pretending to want to go, she just followed them in praising them, put them up directly, and then talked about those little kids.

"Why don't you thank your mother? They want to catch fish just for you."

The two young wives' expressions froze when they met their children's happy and expectant eyes.

Lingxi changed the subject and revealed an envious expression again.

"You guys are really good. I'm not that good. I don't know how to do anything. I got this fish from home. I don't know if it was my dad or someone else who brought it home."

There is really nothing wrong with what Lingxi said.

Lingxi has always been spoiled.

She was reluctant to touch anything in the house, not even doing housework.

She has always been like this, whether Pei Yanning had not come back before or after Pei Yanning came back.

The two young wives were a little upset.

"You didn't come here just to grill the fish?"

Lingxi looked as if it was a matter of course.

"Or else?"

otherwise……

What? !

The expressions on the two young wives' faces couldn't be any more frozen. There was no point in chatting that day!

There is no harm without comparison.

Compared to most people, they are actually quite happy. The families they marry into are relatively wealthy and there are many men in the family. As wives, they can take turns cooking at home and do not have to go to the fields when it is their turn.

The men in the family are all strong and can get full work points, and they can also get some money from the winter hunting every year. Although the family may not have meat to eat every day, it is not difficult to taste meat twice a month after a period of time.

But, it depends on who you compare with.

Look at Lingxi, she just casually took out the fish from home and grilled it...

If it were them, they wouldn't dare to do this even if they were given eight more courages.

Moreover, they both subconsciously glanced around, and sure enough, they didn't find even a single fish scale. This fish must have been processed before being brought out.

It was already sour, and now it became even more sour.

Lingxi noticed their emotional changes and felt instantly relieved.

Humph, it was their fault for talking bad about their family before.

Lingxi had never been so ambivalent before, but she was quite satisfied with her own reaction. She originally wanted to say a few more words.

However, baby Zhao, who was sitting next to her, took it seriously.

He swallowed the fish in his hand and raised his little face.

"Don't be sad, mom."

Lingxi cried out in her heart and subconsciously looked at Xiao Sanzi. When did she become sad?

Baby Ye's face, which was very similar to Lingxi's, showed a little bit of speechlessness that was not in line with his age, but he was quite honest in his hand and took out a stack of talisman papers, as if he was about to tear them up.

Lingxi quickly held the man down, but spoke to A Zhao.

"Mom is not sad, baby Zhao is the best."

Baby A Zhao didn't know about the interaction between his mother and brother. He curled his eyebrows and his voice remained soft.

"Mom, you are amazing. Dad and Grandpa both say that you are the backbone of the family, because home is where your mom is."

Baby Zhao actually didn't quite understand Lingxi's sneaky sarcasm and just wanted to comfort his mother.

He also knew that he had to call his mother "Mom" in front of outsiders so that they would understand.

Lingxi suddenly realized and felt completely soft-hearted.

She raised her hands, holding a little child in each.

"You are the most important. Everyone in the family is super important." The three of them, mother and her two children, stuck together and instantly ignored the other people around them. The children were laughing, and they didn't understand the aura that suddenly formed a small world among the adults. After eating the fish, they went about their business.

The two young wives were left there.

As for Lingxi...

Apart from being considerate to her own family, she really didn't think much about outsiders, let alone the two people she didn't like.

Just at this moment, a somewhat familiar voice came from not far away.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Lingxi looked up and, as expected, it was Pei Fuzhu.

Lingxi was surprised.

"Why are you at home?"

After Pei Bozhu and Zhao Jianan got their marriage certificate, they moved to the county together.

Pei Fuzhu sat down beside the fire and picked up a piece of grilled fish on a bamboo skewer. She said with a sigh, "You came out just like that. You're so well prepared that you even brought the bamboo skewers."

As for the bamboo sticks, they might have been sharpened by Lingxi on the spot.

Pei Bok Joo didn't believe it anyway.

After she said this to Lingxi, she turned around and looked at the two young wives again.

"Is there something going on between you two? Tell me the same thing, she really doesn't know as much as I do."

The two men shook their heads instantly.

"We are just passing by, passing by..." The two of them left in an instant, and when they looked at Pei Fuzhu before leaving, there was still a little fear in their eyes.

Lingxi: “…”

Pei Bok Joo looked at Ling Xi with disdain.

"Where is the energy you mentioned before?

Do you lose your courage in front of outsiders?

You are lucky, everyone in your family pampers and protects you. If you try to change families, you will be bullied to death." Pei Fuzhu did not give Lingxi a chance to speak, and looked at the fish in her hand curiously.

"What kind of fish is this? It tastes weird."

Lingxi's mind was still on the terrified looks the two young wives gave Pei Fuzhu before they left. She was wondering what Pei Fuzhu had done to shock them so much. She never expected that Pei Fuzhu would start talking nonsense right after that. She was speechless.

"My dad brought the fish back. How would I know what it is? As long as it's edible, that's fine." Lingxi quickly interrupted her spellcasting and asked, "Why are you back? Are you moving back here?"

Pei Bok Joo's attention was instantly diverted.

"Yes! I came back and called my dad to help clean up the house."

She explained to Lingxi, "The initial construction of the steel plant is almost finished, and Zhao Jianan and his team will also move in. They are young, so they came here first to get ahead. The group of old professors will come later than them."

Lingxi suddenly understood.

Pei Fuzhu didn't stay long. She chatted with Lingxi for a few minutes and then left.

She just heard someone say that Lingxi was seen coming, so she came over to take a look, but she had to hurry to get busy!
But before leaving, Pei Bozhu couldn't help but rub A Zhao and Ye Baobao's heads.

Ah Zhao and Ye Baobao subconsciously wanted to hide, but before they could hide, Pei Fuzhu had already run away.

While dodging like this, baby Zhao's eyes were attracted by an unknown object in the bushes.

"Eh."

Lingxi followed baby Zhao's line of sight.

I saw——

On a clump of furry light green grass, a gray ring-sized object lay inside, reflecting a faint metallic glow under the sunlight.

Lingxi was stunned. Baby Zhao had already run over and picked it up. There was still some mud on it. Baby Zhao took out his handkerchief with some disgust and rubbed it again and again. After a while, he finally picked up the thing and handed it to Lingxi to see.

Lingxi's expression was casual at first, but when she looked at him up close, her face changed.

That ring, or to be more precise, a finger ring, was a dark purple ring. Except for the color, the texture of the other materials was similar to the material of the optical computer bracelet on Lingxi's wrist.

She picked it up and examined it carefully, but unfortunately, she didn't know much about technology and didn't understand it.
