When I returned to the village, I saw many people walking in groups of three or five towards the west end of the village.

The roads in the village were narrow and crowded. Wan Anning got off his bicycle and walked home with Feng Xiangmei. They saw groups of people on the road, talking in low voices, and walking in the same direction. Feng Xiangmei couldn't help but be curious, so she stopped an old lady she had a good relationship with and asked, "Sister-in-law Xiaogai, what are all these people doing?"

"Oh, Xiangmei, I heard that you and Guofu got divorced? Are you okay? You said Guofu is really confused. Your daughter is so old, and she should be looking for a matchmaker soon. Why can't you just bear with it? Why does it have to get to the point of divorce?"

Xiao Gaisao was worried that she couldn't find an opportunity to find out the gossip about Feng Xiangmei and Wan Guofu's divorce. When she heard Feng Xiangmei taking the initiative to talk to her, she couldn't help but ask about it.

Feng Xiangmei forced a smile uncomfortably: "I can't help it, my life is miserable... Oh, let's not talk about it anymore. What are you all doing going to the west?"

Seeing that Feng Xiangmei was unwilling to talk more, Xiao Gai knew that she was upset because she had just divorced, so he did not ask any more questions and changed the subject:

"I'm telling you, you don't know yet, right? Ke La from the west end of the village came back last night, and brought back a young wife, who is so pretty, and also brought a daughter. Oh my, Ke La is lucky now, he has both a wife and a daughter... Let me tell you, that young wife is obviously not an ordinary person, the way she walks and talks is completely different from us country people. Tsk tsk, look, everyone is going to Ke La's house to see what's new. Xiangmei, if you have nothing to do, why don't you go over and take a look?"

Feng Xiangmei thought for a long time before she remembered who "Ke La" was: "Are you talking about Brick's brother, that second-rate guy Ke La?"

"Besides him, is there anyone else named Ke La in our village? Let me tell you, things are different now. He is no longer the second-rate guy he used to be. I heard that he is a big boss outside.

Tsk tsk, you didn't see it, wow, he has a pager on his waist, it keeps beeping, oh, he's very busy, it's obvious he's making a lot of money out there...

Okay, I won’t talk to you anymore. I have to go over there and take a look. I heard that they give out candy when they go over there. I’ll go get some for my grandson to eat…”

Looking at Xiao Gaisao's back as she hurried towards Kela's house, Feng Xiangmei had a complicated expression.

"Do you still remember Kela?" she asked Wan An Ning.

Wan An Ning shook his head: "I don't have much impression..."

This was not a lie. Although she earned her first start-up capital from this person in her previous life, she didn't know him very well. She gave him the money on impulse at the time, but she didn't expect that he would actually return it to her with several times the profit...

Although luck played a big part, Wan An Ning was still very grateful to this person. Unfortunately, after he left, he never appeared again. I don't know if he died outside.

"He is the brother of the short brick guy at the south end of our village. He lives in the two small houses at the west end. When he left the village, he was already over 30 years old and still hadn't found a wife. When he was in the production team, he was a second-rate guy. Apart from his good mouth, he was not good at anything else. After the land was distributed to each household, he was still unwilling to do farm work, so he ran away and hasn't come back for many years. God is really blind to let such a person get rich..."

"Maybe I'm just not suitable for farm work, but that doesn't mean I'm not good at other things..."

Feng Xiangmei frowned and looked at Wan An Ning: "I'm telling you, don't get in touch with that kind of person, and don't listen to his nonsense about making a lot of money, or he will sell you out!"

Wan An Ning nodded perfunctorily, but didn't take Feng Xiangmei's words to heart.

In her previous life, she earned her first pot of gold from Kela. Although Kela was not a good person, Wan An Ning didn't want to be a good person. It is difficult for a purely good person to make money.

If she were to start over again, she decided to earn some start-up capital from Kela and then think about other things.

This time, Kela came back home by car. Although the car was just a taxi, for a rural person who had never seen a car all year round, being able to come back home by car was definitely a sign of a successful person.

From day to night, there was a constant stream of people going to Kela's house to watch the fun. There were often groups of people crowding into the house, and the yard without a wall was filled with people, making it noisy.

There were many people with big mouths. Some of them kept praising Kela for his ability, and praised him to the heavens and the earth. Some of them were spoiling the fun, and said sarcastic things with red eyes, mainly picking on Kela's embarrassing moments in the village and the fact that he had to raise a child for someone else...

No matter whether others praised him or teased him, he never got angry. He smiled and gave candies to women and cigarettes to men. When others urged him to have another child, he nodded and said, "I'll try my best..."

Kela was so good-tempered that the people from the village who came out to watch the fun couldn't say a bad word about him after they came out of his house.

Wan An Ning and Feng Xiangmei spent the whole day in the sesame field. They picked all the tender leaves of sesame from half an acre of field, blanched them in several pots, and dried them in the sun. Only when everything was done did they feel sticky all over. After a whole day in the sesame field, their hair was extremely greasy.

After dinner, Wan An Ning boiled some hot water and took a bath. While drying her hair, she heard Old Auntie Pan's loud voice: "Has Xiangmei eaten yet?"

Wan An Ning hurriedly opened the door and let Aunt Pan in.

Coming so late at night, Feng Xiangmei thought that Old Lady Pan wanted to talk to her about something, but she didn't expect that she wanted to go to Ke La's house to watch the fun.

Old Aunt Pan had been to Kela's house during the day, but unfortunately there were too many people and she couldn't squeeze into Kela's house. After dinner, she came over and called Feng Xiangmei to watch the fun together.

Not to mention that Feng Xiangmei had just completed the divorce procedures with Wan Guofu. It was inappropriate for a divorced woman to go to someone else's house at night. She had been busy all day and had not taken a shower yet. She was so tired that she didn't want to move at all. In addition, she wanted to have an abortion but failed. She was not in a good mood, so she refused Aunt Pan.

"I won't go. I'm tired today. I'll take a shower and go to bed. Sister-in-law, you should find someone else to go with you."

Old Auntie Pan came to find Feng Xiangmei because she couldn't find anyone else to go with her and didn't want to go alone. Now Feng Xiangmei wasn't going either, and she was a little disappointed. When she saw Wan An Ning wiping her hair, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she pulled Wan An Ning to Feng Xiangmei and said, "Since you're not going, let An An go with me."

Wan An Ning was stunned. She had planned to visit Kela's home, but she planned to go during the day. Now it was dark and it seemed inappropriate to go there.

"Auntie, it's getting dark today, how about we go there tomorrow?"

Old Pan held Wan An Ning's arm tightly with his arm: "It's dark now, what are you afraid of? I'm here with you, auntie, who can say anything?"

After saying this, he didn't care whether Feng Xiangmei agreed or not, or whether Wan An Ning was happy or not, and just pulled her out.

Wan An Ning wiped her hair half dry, found a pair of unusable chopsticks and rolled them up, then reluctantly followed Old Lady Pan out the door.
