Chapter 226 Don’t Be a Male Wife (5)
After the deed was signed, the Li family felt that they had finally gotten rid of the big trouble of Ning Ning, but they didn't know that their troubles had just begun.
Their family became the most unwelcome people in the village. No one paid attention to them wherever they went, as if they were carrying a plague. As soon as they came, people who had gathered together to talk would immediately disperse.
Moreover, his yard was often thrown with stones and garbage, and the doors and windows were smashed several times. When they went out to catch the culprit, they couldn't find anyone at all, and when they asked others, everyone said they didn't know.
Li was so angry that she jumped up and down and cursed in the street, but she just looked like a clown.
Ning Mancang came back from the fields looking dejected and unlucky.
I don't know who went to mess up their fields and destroyed a lot of seedlings.
The fields next door are fine, it's clear that they are being targeted.
"Oh my god, you damn bastards! They are deliberately bullying us and want us to be unable to stay in the village!"
Li was so angry that she cried and cursed, but where else could they go if they didn't stay in the village!
Their land is here, and half of the family money was taken away by Ning Ning, and the other half was given to the owner of the antique shop.
The boss saw that they really couldn't come up with the money, and even if he sued Ning Lai Fu to the government, he wouldn't get any money. It would be better to keep Ning Lai Fu and let him pay it back bit by bit.
So, they are still in debt, so how can they afford to move?
What made them even angrier was that while they were unlucky, Ning Ning was starting to get lucky.
It is said that Ning Ning never went into the mountains empty-handed, and she also collected medicinal herbs to make some kind of shampoo powder. After using it, all the dandruff on the head was gone, and it was very popular. It was put on consignment in several shops in the town, and was sold out in no time.
So when Ning Ning went into the mountains to collect herbs, Song Ruoniang made shampoo powder according to his instructions, and when Ning Ning came back, they did it together.
Even so, they still couldn't make enough to sell.
It is human nature to hate those who have and laugh at those who have nothing. If in the past, Ning Ning suddenly found a way to make money, some people might be jealous.
But now everyone in the village feels that this orphan and widow are too miserable. Their closest relatives can be more harmful than their enemies. The mother and son are already helpless, so what's wrong with them making some money?
If they don't even have this little means of livelihood, then God is so unfair!
Therefore, among all the people in the village, only the Li family were furious when they heard that Ning Ning had made money!
"Ning Ning, this bastard, has obviously figured out a way to make money, but he's hiding it from us and won't tell us! Zhu'er, you have to do your best to make your grandmother proud, pass the exam as soon as possible, and give these people a good slap in the face so that they won't dare to commit suicide again!"
Ning Zhu nodded heavily, "Grandma, I understand. The imperial examination will be held in a few days, and I will definitely do my best in the exam."
He was holding his breath too!
In the past, he was a very influential figure among the young men in the village, because he was literate and good-looking, so everyone looked up to him. There were also many young girls who were interested in him, but he looked down on the village girls.
But now when he goes out, he is like smelly dog shit.
There were even teenagers who came to ask him why he didn't go and pay off his father's debts and become someone else's male wife?
He is literate, so the young master must be more pleasing to him, and it would not be in vain that his family has supported him!
Ning Zhu was so angry that he wanted to hit the man, but when he looked at the man's strong arms and then at his own thin body, he could only say "how disgraceful" angrily and walked away angrily.
Therefore, he was holding back his energy for this imperial examination, intending to avenge his previous shame with fame and honor!
Unexpectedly, just as the imperial examination was approaching and he was about to leave, Ning Lai Fu suddenly ran back in panic, "Azhu, you must not go. A group of bandits has besieged the provincial capital, and the soldiers have gone to suppress them. It's very chaotic outside, and I heard that many people have died!"
"what?!"
The faces of the Ning family members changed drastically and they kept asking for information.
There was indeed a group of fierce bandits who were surrounded by officers and soldiers, but unexpectedly they broke out and attacked the provincial capital.
However, the provincial capital had high walls after all, and they lacked weapons to attack the city, so they were wiped out by the soldiers who turned around and killed them!
But the bandits burned, killed and looted along the way, causing many lives!
Moreover, they fled in all directions, and we couldn't say that we had completely wiped them out. There might still be a few hiding somewhere.
In short, it's a mess outside and people are in panic, so try not to go out if you can.
Li's hands were shaking. "It's terrible. This could cost someone's life! Zhu'er, you must not go. You can still take the imperial examination next time. If you lose your life, what will your grandmother and father do?"
Ning Zhu stared at me, not knowing what she was thinking. At last she suddenly said, "Grandma, I want to go."
"Ah? Are you, are you crazy?"
"The next imperial examination will take another three years. You can wait, but I can't. It won't take three years. In three months, they will squeeze us out. I must teach these dogs who look down on others a lesson!"
"But it's still a mess outside!"
"Didn't they say that the bandits have been wiped out? As long as we follow the official roads, avoid the side roads, and avoid places with few people, we will be fine. Let uncle go with me."
what?
Ning Mancang was suddenly called out and looked confused, but Ning Lai Fu had already reacted. At this time, of course, this fool should take over.
"Brother, you should accompany Ah Zhu. There is chaos and turmoil outside, and I am worried about him going alone. But it is not auspicious for me, a debtor, to go with him to take the imperial examination!"
Li also hurriedly said, "Your brother is weak and can't help much when he goes out. Boss, mother can only count on you at this time!"
The word "boss" made him feel elated. Facing the expectant gazes of Li and Ning Laifu, Ning Mancang nodded immediately, "Okay, then I'll go with Ah Zhu."
"That's right!"
They prepared their things immediately and set out early the next morning. On the path out of the village, they saw a figure in front of them, carrying a basket and walking out of the village.
Ning Zhu narrowed his eyes and took a closer look. It was Ning Ning!
"Humph, he made those things and sold them again? What a loser! He can only do these little things, at best he can be a peddler!"
Ning Zhu had a look of disdain on his face. According to the villagers, it seemed that Ning Ning was able to set up a household and make a living, while he still had to rely on his family for study. It seemed that he was not as good as Ning Ning. What an ignorant bunch of people!
How can that street vendor compare with a scholar?
Ning Mancang said nothing, lowered his head, and pulled him away quickly!
As for Ning Ning, he didn't notice them at all. He was concentrating on calculating how the goods were selling, how much money he could make, and how much raw materials he needed to buy.
When he arrived in town, he settled the accounts with the consignment shop and went to buy raw materials. He was very busy.
But soon, he found something wrong!
Someone was following him!
