Chapter 608: Where blessings lie, misfortunes lie; where misfortunes lie, blessings lie.
Sure enough, Xiao Xuemu took a shower faster than Wei Wei.
When Xiao Xuemu came out after taking a shower, Wei Wei had not come out yet, but he didn't have to wait long. Wei Wei came out in less than three minutes.
Seeing Wei Wei struggling to drag her bathtub by herself, Jiang Qi was just about to go and help when Xiao Xuemu had already gone over.
When Li Zhibin saw Xiao Xuemu coming out, he prepared to stir-fry vegetables and eat. When Wei Wei came out, the meal was already on the table.
Seeing Wei Wei coming, Ning Lanzhen's eyes lit up, "Wei Wei is here, come quickly, come quickly, it's time to eat, you've been tired all day, you must be hungry."
Hearing this, Wei Wei touched her nose and said, "It's okay~, I haven't been tired all day. For people like me, when we go to work, we usually just slack off and don't feel tired at all."
Ning Lanzhen didn't understand what he said and was a little confused, "Moping?"
"Hey, Auntie, please don't laugh at me. I'm just being lazy and trying to get by.
In our team, we earn work points based on how much work we do. The more we work, the more we earn; the less we work, the less we earn.
If I do less work, I will get fewer work points, but I won’t be a burden to others, and I won’t take advantage of others.
They are not busy now and they don’t need my time. In fact, they even hope that I can do less.
There's no rush now. Everyone can handle the work. If I do less, they can do more and earn more work points. So no one will say anything if I slack off."
Then she remembered that nowadays everyone takes labor as an honor, and it would be bad for her to be so sneaky and cunning, so she quickly added:
"But even when I'm too busy, I still don't slack off. I still work very hard and won't hold anyone back."
This made Ning Lanzhen laugh out loud, "Hahahaha, Auntie just likes your personality.
Whether working or farming, it's all for survival.
You already have the ability and capital to survive, so there is no need to make things too difficult for yourself.
It’s enough to be able to support yourself. There is no need to force yourself to do things you are not good at.
You're doing a great job. Normally, you can do whatever's comfortable for you. But when things are urgent and we're rushing to harvest, we can't waste the fruits of others' labor, but we just have to do our best."
Hearing this, Wei Wei felt like she had found a soulmate. She didn't expect that there would be such an open-minded person at this time.
"Yes, yes, that's what I think too. People like us are able to support ourselves and don't rely on those few work points to survive. There's no need to make things too difficult for ourselves.
We are not familiar with farm work and are not good at it. If we force ourselves to do it, we will only ruin our health. It is not worth it and is not cost-effective at all."
Even though you have plenty of money, if you work hard and exhaust yourself to earn a few work points, you are just forcing yourself to endure hardship.
Hearing Wei Wei say this, Ning Lanzhen felt like she had found a soulmate.
"That's right, that's right. No matter what happens, your health is the most important thing. Your body is the capital of the revolution. If your body is broken, everything else is in vain."
The more Ning Lanzhen got along with Wei Wei, the more she liked her. Wei Wei's personality was really just what she liked.
There is no evil intention and no affectation at all. He is very open and honest. Good is good and bad is bad. He even admits his shortcomings openly.
Jiang Qi could also see the satisfaction in Ning Lanzhen's eyes. During the few months when she went back to visit her relatives, the person Jiang Qi spent the most time with was Ning Lanzhen.
She didn't say she knew Ning Lanzhen's personality exactly, but she had a general understanding of it.
To be honest, she was also quite surprised when she first learned about Ning Lanzhen's personality.
Ning Lanzhen is really a very open-minded person. Even in later generations, there are very few mothers who are so open-minded.
If he was not open-minded, he would have given the original owner a beating long ago if he knew that the original owner had been cheated out of so much money, instead of thinking that it was okay because it was just a loss of money and his daughter was not hurt.
"Okay, Mom, I know you like this girl, so hurry up and let her eat. Even though she doesn't do much work, she can't be doing nothing while slacking off in the fields. She's also working.
If you keep talking like this, your beloved daughter, your favorite little girl will starve to death.
Also, your future son-in-law has done a solid day's work, don't let them get greedy just by looking at the table full of food."
Xiao Xuemu: ...
Actually, we don’t have to cue him at this time, but he still likes the title of future son-in-law.
Hearing this, Ning Lanzhen smiled and said, "I can't let my beloved little girl starve. Let's quickly eat."
As for whether the son-in-law is a son-in-law or not, that is not something she can control.
As soon as they arrived at the dinner table, Ning Lanzhen started to pick up food for Wei Wei. Even Jiang Qi was ignored by her. This shows how much she likes this little girl.
Especially after discussing some ideas with Wei Wei, she liked Wei Wei even more and wanted to take her home immediately. She wished that Wei Wei was really her little girl.
She finally understood why Jiang Qi had changed so much. With such an intelligent person teaching and setting an example by his side, it would be hard for Jiang Qi not to change for the better.
With Wei Wei here, Ning Lanzhen felt relieved even if Jiang Qi stayed here.
As the saying goes, good fortune lies behind misfortune, and misfortune lies behind good fortune. This is not without reason.
When we first learned that Jiang Qi was going to the countryside, everyone was so worried that they didn't know what to say or how to describe it. Especially for her, it was like the sky was falling.
It's hard not to feel bad when you meet such a person and encounter such a thing.
But who would have thought that Jiang Qi would have such luck in the countryside and meet such a person in the countryside.
To be honest, considering the changes that Jiang Qi has undergone in the past two years, this trip to the countryside is worth it in every way. It is a blessing in every way, and this blessing should be hers.
After all, the changes that Jiang Qi experienced after going to the countryside will benefit him for the rest of his life.
Before, Jiang Qi's personality was too delicate and too self-centered. Even though her family could protect her, she would still encounter many setbacks when the time came.
Her family thinks there's nothing wrong with her temper because they use the filter of family members as a guide, so they think it's okay, that she's just a little bit pampered and spoiled.
But outsiders won’t think so. They will just think that this person is difficult to get along with, so there are very few sincere people staying around.
Most of the people who stayed with her had ulterior motives. If they were just after money, it would be fine, as her family had enough money and she wouldn't need that. But if they had evil intentions, that would be bad, just like the one from the Xue family.
But now it’s different. Jiang Qi has become much more intelligent and has learned how to deal with people and things. Such skills can benefit her throughout her life.
Now, I have changed a lot in all aspects, including my behavior and conduct, and have become much more mature and stable.
Generally, such a change will only occur after a major blow and maturity.
But Jiang Qi didn't do that. She was brought up by her friends and grew up on her own. There was no pain or discomfort in the process.
Therefore, how could such a thing not be considered her blessing, how could it not be considered her luck.
Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu on the side didn't know what to say.
They have always known that Wei Wei is really good at acting good when she wants to, and she is really good at pleasing others.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been fooled by Wei Wei so often, and even thought he was a naive person.
If someone else came here to eat and drink for free, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin would have kicked that person away long ago, but Wei Wei took advantage of it as soon as she arrived.
Whether Wei Wei is trying to please others or beg for favors, there is no utilitarianism in her eyes and heart. Even if she has a purpose, she will not think of taking advantage of others.
Such a person has a pure heart and can easily make others happy.
However, although Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin knew that Wei Wei was very good at pleasing others, they really didn't expect that she was so good at pretending to be good.
It seems that Wei Wei had restrained herself when dealing with them before.
Looking at Ning Lanzhen’s amused expression, you can tell how good Wei Wei is at coaxing people.
Even Jiang Qi thought Wei Wei was really amazing, and she admired her a lot.
To be honest, she really couldn't get along with elders as calm and composed as Wei Wei, especially those who were kind to her. She always felt awkward when getting along with them.
She had never encountered such a situation before, so she had no idea how to deal with the unrequited kindness from her elders.
Especially since Ning Lanzhen doted on her with such boundless love that it was really unnatural for her to accept it.
But Wei Wei is different. She can grasp the preferences of her elders and cater to their needs, not only for her elders but also for other people.
Moreover, she is particularly good at acting coquettishly, showing weakness, and pretending to be good in front of her elders. But we can't say that she is pretending to be good, because she is very well-behaved in front of acquaintances and will act coquettishly unconsciously.
Especially since she speaks with a slight accent, and that accent makes her sound like she's acting coquettish, so she looks very well-behaved.
There is no elder who doesn't like such a person, and this is something she can never learn no matter what.
But Wei Wei is different. This ability seems to be innate to her. She doesn't need to learn it at all. She does it naturally. Jiang Qi really envies her for this.
