LOSS OF SUPERIORITY 

Liu Wei looked at Ni Yang, surprised, "You know English?"

Ni Yang replied nonchalantly, "Hmm, I learned a little before." Ni Yang's company had gone international in her previous life, how could she not know some English? And in her past life, she had graduated from a 211 university!

But Liu Wei was shocked! Because in his heart, aside from being beautiful, Ni Yang had nothing else going for her!

After all, Ni Yang was just a simple village girl from the countryside, while he was an intellectual.

How could Ni Yang possibly know English? And she spoke so well; could it be a fluke?

Preserving this line of thought, Liu Wei continued, "Then can you come over and see if there's any difference between these two words?"

Ni Yang walked over, looked at the words Liu Wei was pointing out, then said, "This one is pronounced admiring. Although, admiring and admirable' are both adjectives, the former refers to things or people that inspire admiration, often serving as a predicate or a descriptive word; the latter means 'worthy of admiration' and can be used to describe things or people, primarily as an attribute."

Her tone was gentle, pure, and measured, like breezes in April, pleasing to the heart and delightful to the mind.

After Ni Yang explained, Liu Wei was stunned, he couldn't help but ask, "Ni...Ni Yang, what's your educational background?"

"I have a junior high school education," Ni Yang replied calmly, "I just passed high school last year, but for some reasons, I didn't go."

She learnt English in junior high?

Liu Wei furrowed his brows.

What was happening?

Or, did Ni Yang just happen to know these two English words?

And even if Ni Yang had indeed studied, she was a junior high school student, she couldn't possibly know more than he, a high school student?

He was an excellent student and the class monitor, how could he be worse than a junior high school student?

Thinking of this, Liu Wei's eyes were filled with complicated emotions, he felt quite uncomfortable.

Ni Yang didn't have time to guess what a teenager in puberty was thinking, she continued: "I've put the things away, I'm leaving first."

"Okay." Liu Wei came back to his senses, waving at Ni Yang, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Liu Wei watched Ni Yang's departing figure and quietly clenched his fists.

No matter.

Even if Ni Yang's English was really good, she was still just a junior high school graduate.

He's going to college in the future and becoming a college student!

How could Ni Yang, a junior high school student, compare to himself, a future college student?

And Ni Yang was still a country bumpkin, even if he ended up with her in the future, she would be the one reaching up!

Today was the day Ni Cuihua completed her first month postpartum, so Ni Yang went to the Vegetable Market and bought a lot of vegetables, planning to celebrate at home tonight.

Additionally, Ni Yang bought over a hundred pounds of pak choi to make sour cabbage.

She now used almost 15 pounds of sour cabbage every day, so she needed to stock up more, or else green vegetables would increase in price when winter comes, and the taste of the sour cabbage made in summer is more pure and tangy.

On the way back, Ni Yang ran into many villagers. She clearly felt that the villagers' attitudes towards her were much friendlier than before, and their smiles now seemed more genuine.

When Ni Yang got home, she cleaned and pickled the pak choi, then went to the river to catch fish, picked up some river snails, and then went home to prepare dinner.

Ni Yang bought pork ribs, pig's feet, free-range chicken, tofu, cucumber, lettuce, and many other vegetables today, enough for several days without having to buy more.

Ni Cuihua chuckled, "It's not a big day, there's no need to prepare so much food."

Ni Yang fed the broken lettuce leaves to the little rabbits, "You finished your sitting month', and my little sister is one month old today. Isn't it a major event? I will prepare a few more dishes tonight to celebrate fully."

Over the past month, the little rabbits had grown much fatter.

They hopped around each day, adding a lot more vitality to the yard.

Ni Cuihua continued, "Actually, there's no need to waste money, it isn't easy for you to earn money from your business."

Ni Yang grabbed Ni Cuihua's hand, looked at her and said, "Mom, we have money now, you don't have to be like before, things will only get better from now on."

In fact, Ni Cuihua had changed a lot over the past month, not only in terms of personality, but also appearance and figure.

Her skin had become much fairer, the wrinkles around her eyes had lightened, her chest had become firmer, and the skin on her face had clearly tightened a lot.

Compared to a month ago, Ni Cuihua seemed like a different person.

At these words, Ni Cuihua nodded, a warm light gleaming in her eyes.

She knew how much it took for a mother and daughter to get to where there were today.

Especially Ni Yang.

Just a seventeen-year-old girl, shouldering all the burdens alone.

From now on, she, as a mother, must become strong and absolutely not hold her daughter back.

Ni Yang prepared a lot of sumptuous dishes that evening.

There were roasted pig's feet, chicken mushroom stew, sweet and sour pork ribs, pig's feet and kelp braised carp, Mapo tofu and stir-fried cucumber with chili.

The main course was ear fungus jujube porridge and toasted bread.

All these dishes were prepared by Ni Yang based on the body's needs. Not only were they delicious and nutritious, they were also detoxifying and beautifying.

Especially the ear fungus jujube porridge, it was beneficial for freckle removal.

She didn't have freckles on her face, but this dish was preventive, and it seemed that Ni Cuihua had a few light freckles on her face.

Not only Ni Cuihua and Ni Chenggui had changed, but Ni Yang had also changed a lot. It's just that her changes were not as noticeable due to her already beautiful appearance.
