Chapter 1073: Chapter 1072: Endless Entanglement 2

Feng Qingyun took Fubao around, indulging her niece’s desire to show off her necklace and bracelet, and soak up everyone’s compliments on her beauty.

At that moment, they just happened to wander to the cool area where the garlic was hung out to dry.

Upon seeing the scene before her, she immediately walked over with Fubao. "Lingzhi, you came to see me? Sorry, I’ve been out with Fubao, barely at home these days. You’ve had no choice but to come out and ask Acheng. Acheng, what are you standing there for? It’s almost noon. I need to take Fubao, and later, I have to look for Xibao. If you don’t go home to cook, what are we going to eat for lunch? Don’t forget the instructions your brother-in-law gave before he left. If you tire sister out, brother-in-law will definitely come back and settle accounts with us!"

"I’ll go right away. You keep an eye on these people working!" Guan Cheng said without a second word and took off running.

He really didn’t want to deal with Wang Lingzhi. She was like a clingy plaster, impossible to shake off. She always pretended not to understand and kept on pestering. Continuing like this would surely draw others’ attention.

Feng Qingyun called out loudly from behind him, "Xibao wanted to eat chive pockets yesterday, and the chives we picked are still drying in the kitchen!"

"I saw the chives last night, and I’ll make chive pockets for lunch!" Acting as both the staple and the dish, it saves trouble!

Fubao rushed to catch up, her delicate voice chiming, "Brother Acheng, I want to eat dumplings."

Guan Cheng, without looking back, said, "Got it. I’ll make you a bowl of dumplings for lunch."

Fubao was completely satisfied, "Thank you, Brother Acheng!"

Wang Lingzhi, not having achieved her goal, glared at Feng Qingyun and hurriedly tried to follow Guan Cheng, only to be grabbed by Feng Qingyun.

Although she was only twelve or thirteen, she hadn’t been hungry or cold since she was five. On a normal day, she ate better than others did during New Year’s. She was only an inch shorter than Wang Lingzhi, yet she was actually stronger.

Wang Lingzhi couldn’t budge as she was pulled, "Xiaoyun, why are you holding me back?"

In terms of family hierarchy, Feng Qingyun was indeed Wang Lingzhi’s cousin once removed.

It was not uncommon in the Wanglou Brigade to see young children with higher family status, as both Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng, seven years her senior, would still have to respectfully call her "Little Auntie."

Feng Qingyun asked in bewilderment, "Weren’t you looking for me? If you’re looking for me, of course I’ll hold onto you to find out why!"

"Who said I was looking for you? I came to find Guan Cheng! Why are you butting in?" Wang Lingzhi stomped her foot in frustration, her eyes flashing with envy as she looked at Feng Qingyun’s face, which even smeared with dust and charcoal grey, couldn’t hide its natural beauty.

If talking about the most beautiful person in the Wanglou Brigade, Feng Qingxue was first, followed by the still-growing Feng Qingyun.

Though Feng Qingyun usually dressed scruffily and dirtied her face, everyone who saw her was reminded of how Feng Qingxue used to look when Lu Jiang was not at home. Privately, everyone agreed that Feng Qingyun was just emulating her sister because, as a child, Feng Qingyun was exceptionally beautiful, and certainly wouldn’t become ugly as she grew up.

A good-looking girl was always in demand, and Wang Lingzhi was acutely aware of the benefits of beauty.

Unfortunately, among the young women, she was the most outstanding but still far from Feng Qingxue or Feng Qingyun. Even the well-known lazy and gluttonous Wang Jiao was far prettier than her, which made her feel like the world was unjust.

She was the most educated girl in the Wanglou Brigade, so why hadn’t the gods blessed her with the ultimate beauty? Instead, they gave it to the illiterate Feng Qingxue, and on top of that, favored her in every way - allowing her to study medicine, join the army, be received by the old chief, and become a big shot known all around!
