Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 347: A Strange Journey (2)

We walked until the evening when the sun was about to set, and finally arrived at the village that Ren Xin mentioned.

"Ren Xin, you're home, why don't you look happy?"

"No way! I'm happy, of course I'm happy. Oh, by the way, over there is my home. Mom, I'm back!"

In fact, Ren Xin's expression became a little strange after he entered the village. He looked a little nostalgic, but also a little fearful. In short, his face was like a chameleon, and no one knew what he meant.

From time to time, villagers would look around curiously, but they would not come over to say hello.

"Hey, Ren Xin, haven't the villagers watched you grow up? Why don't you say hello?"

"It's because you're here. Oh, don't be surprised. People in our village don't see outsiders often, so they are a little timid and shy and don't dare to come over to say hello. Once you stay in the village for a few days, they will get familiar with you."

"So that's what happened."

They walked all the way to Ren Xin's house, pushed open the gate, and saw a few brick houses in the yard. They looked simple but quite neat.

Before they could go over and open the door, it opened from the inside, and a girl of about sixteen or seventeen with bright eyes and white teeth walked out, "Brother, you're back! Don't make a fuss. By the way, this is the classmate you were talking about, right?"

The girl called Ren Xin "brother" and looked like she was there to pick up Ren Xin, but her eyes were always looking Ning Ning up and down. Her tone of voice when speaking to Ren Xin was also very casual, and someone who didn't know would have thought that Ren Xin was their family's farmhand.

"Minle, are you home?"

Min Le took the time out of his busy schedule to give him a blank look. "I'm already standing here, why are you asking me such a stupid question? I was asking you a question, didn't you hear me?"

"Yes, this is my classmate Ning Ning. Ning, she is my sister Minle. She was very happy to hear that you were coming."

"Of course I'm happy. Brother Ning is so handsome! Okay, I'll greet him. Brother, you can put Brother Ning's luggage in first."

"I'll do it myself."

"No, no. Brother Ning is a guest, you don't have to work, just let me do it."

As he spoke, Min Le came over and put his arm around Ning Ning, then walked inside with him, no longer paying any attention to Ren Xin.

Ning Ning: ...What's going on?

Where is the shy and socially phobic one? !

He followed Minle inside and turned back to look at Ren Xin.

He just lowered his head, silently picked up all the luggage, and followed them into the house.

Since returning to the village, Ren Xin has not shown much joy of going home. Instead, even his aura has changed. He seems to have become more "retracted", and even his body shape has undergone subtle changes.

He now walks with his shoulders hunched inward, his back a little bent, and even his height seems shorter.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Ren Xin's mother Min Fan.

To Ning Ning's surprise, she looked very young, like someone in her thirties.

She was also very beautiful, with big eyes, thin lips, a fair complexion with a rosy glow, and long, straight black hair that was extremely thick. She didn't look sick at all.

Seeing Ning Ning, she also looked her up and down and smiled sweetly, "Ning Ning, right? I often hear Axin mention you. Thank you for taking care of him. Auntie has made delicious food for you and you can eat it soon."

This doesn't look like a patient!

Ning Ning looked at Ren Xin in confusion.

When he persuaded Ning Ning to come, Ren Xin also said that his mother was sick, so he wanted to let his mother know that he was living well outside so that his mother could rest assured and recover from her illness.

"Aning, you don't know, my father passed away a few years ago, and my mother raised me and my sister. She is not feeling well now, so I have to give her some reassurance."

The original person followed him because he couldn't resist his pleading.

But now, how can this look like a sickness? !

Ren Xin was also a little exasperated, "Mom, didn't you say you were not feeling well and asked me to come back to see you?"

Min Fan was very rude to him and rolled his eyes at him, "How dare you say that? You're not coming back after you leave. Are your wings hardened and you want to fly away? If I hadn't told you that I was sick, you wouldn't have come back!"

"Yes, brother, you are so unfilial! Don't you forget what you said when you begged the village chief to leave?"

"I haven't forgotten! But I didn't, no, I have to stay in school and work! I want to earn more money to reduce the burden on my family!"

"You don't need to lighten up, I hope you can come back!"

"That's right, brother is really outrageous!"

The mother and daughter condemned him in unison. Ren Xin seemed angry and sad, and was about to cry.

He took two deep breaths and suppressed his anger. "Alright, alright, I know you are angry with me. But you don't have to vent your anger on me as soon as you come in. Ning Ning just came into our house. How can you let her deal with it?"

After hearing this, the mother and daughter shut up.

Ren Xin gave Ning Ning a bitter smile, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Please sit wherever you want. I'll go put your luggage in your room."

"I'll go with you."

Ning Ning followed him. The room was not small and was quite clean. It looked newly decorated, but the orientation seemed not very good and the light was a little dim.

Ren Xin scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, this is the only vacant room in my house."

"It's okay, it's good."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you just now. I've never mentioned this to you before. The custom in our village is to value girls over boys. My sister has a higher status than me, and she can inherit my mother's surname, but I can't. So she was spoiled by my mother, and she always speaks and acts crazy. My mother is the same, her ideas are completely different from ours, she doesn't agree with me going to college at all, and she's also angry with me, so her words are unpleasant to hear, but these have nothing to do with you. It seems that they like you very much, so don't take what happened just now to heart."

"Won't--"

"Brother, what bad things are you saying about us? Of course we like Brother An Ning, so stop talking nonsense."

"How did you eavesdrop on us?"

"What do you mean by eavesdropping? I'm here to call you to eat. Humph, now that you're home, you don't have to worry about cooking. Just wait for the food to be ready. Just be happy! Brother Aning, let's go and eat!"

Facing Ning Ning, she changed her expression again and walked away with her arms around Ning Ning affectionately.

The food on the table was very rich. There were pheasants, rabbits, pork, some wild vegetables, and mushrooms that Ning Ning couldn't name. They tasted very delicious.

Seeing that Ning Ning had a good appetite, Min Fan and Min Le were very happy and kept picking up food for him.

Ning Ning said a few humble words, but the expression on her face suddenly froze, becoming a little embarrassed, and even a little angry.

He moved his chair to the side and tried to stay as far away from Min Le as possible.

Min Le gave Ning Ning a look of anger, and his eyes seemed to be dripping with tears.

When Ren Xin saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly pretended that his chopsticks had fallen and bent down to pick them up. Then he saw Min Le taking off his shoes unwillingly and rubbing Ning Ning's ankles with his snow-white feet.
