Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 129 - Ma Jinbao Appears Again
Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Ma Jinbao Appears Again
A few days had passed since the incident, and Wang Pengfei hadn’t come to cause trouble again.
Perhaps it was the warning from the police last time, or maybe he was intimidated by Yue Jiandong.
At least, he hadn’t appeared in Daye Village again.
Meanwhile, Yue Jiandong had received his first batch of goods.
He and Granny Zhou carefully inspected them, and after confirming there were no issues, prepared to deliver them to the city.
Early one morning, Yue Jiandong and Yue Xiaofang left home together.
...
Yue Jiandong was heading to the city, while Yue Xiaofang was going to a sundry shop on the west side of the village to buy some daily necessities.
The two chatted and laughed along the way, with Yue Xiaofang accompanying her brother to the edge of the village.
She pulled out a pair of leather gloves from the cloth bag she was carrying.
The outside was made of smooth, fine sheepskin, while the inside was warm cashmere.
Not only did they look stylish, but they were also very warm.
“Brother, it’s cold now, and your hands are getting chapped from picking up the goods every day. Wear these,” she said.
Yue Jiandong hurriedly waved his hands, “Such fine material, it would be a pity for me to use it.”
“What’s a pity? Don’t feel burdened, this was made from leftover material from the last job. The boss from Orchid Pavilion said I could use it,” she reassured him.
Only then did Yue Jiandong carefully accept them and put them on, only to find they fit perfectly.
He felt a surge of warmth in his heart, yet deliberately put on a stern face and asked, “Did you make some for mother?”
Yue Xiaofang couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Of course I made mother’s first before yours. I haven’t finished making our second brother’s yet. There’s no more material left, so Jiannan won’t get any.”
After all, Yue Jiannan wasn’t tilling the fields anymore, and he no longer needed to feed the fish, so gloves weren’t much use to him.
Relieved, Yue Jiandong admired the gloves from every angle, pleased with every glance.
“Xiaofang, thank you,” he said.
Yue Xiaofang disliked such formalities, “Why thank me, your own sister? Hurry to the city, the ox cart is waiting for you.”
Her personality had become much livelier than before, seeming to have completely shed the shadows of the past.
When Yue Jiandong left, a goofy smile hung on his face, and he didn’t know where to put his hands, fearing he might soil them.
Seeing her brother’s expression made Yue Xiaofang burst into laughter as well.
She cheerfully walked towards the grocery store.
After buying a round of goods, Yue Xiaofang carried her fabric bag back, pondering what chores to do today.
Having just finished hemming trousers yesterday, she thought she might work on some small items today, perhaps to speed up the completion of their second brother’s gloves.
She walked and thought at the same time.
Midway, however, she encountered someone she didn’t want to see at all.
After two months, the face of Ma Jinbao reappeared in her sight.
Unpleasant memories surged, and Yue Xiaofang felt her skin crawl all over.
Ma Jinbao had been discharged from the hospital not long ago, seeming to have recovered as usual.
A pretty woman, with hair curled into large waves, accompanied him. Yue Xiaofang was not unfamiliar with her appearance.
Pan Xiumei, a well-known young widow from Jinshan Village.
In the past, Ma Jinbao often spoke in her presence, one moment praising Pan Xiumei’s beauty and unfortunate life, the next claiming Yue Xiaofang was not as gentle and virtuous.
Back then, Yue Xiaofang, tormented by his family, never dared to talk back to Ma Jinbao. Even if she sensed something, she pretended to be ignorant.
Ma Jinbao was also sizing up Yue Xiaofang with squinted eyes.
Having not seen her for a while, Yue Xiaofang’s complexion had improved significantly, slowly regaining the look she had before her marriage.

The clothes she wore were no longer drab. They looked like city styles, which unexpectedly made her look somewhat radiant.
Seeing how Yue Xiaofang looked now, Ma Jinbao thought of the news that someone had shared with him, and walked over arrogantly with the woman by his side.
“Yue Xiaofang, I heard you’ve made it big now. I came especially to see you,” he said.
