Their sister/daughter’s idea came so suddenly, but it seemed very reasonable after her analysis.
“Think about it. Our family has chickens, dogs, and vegetables now. Such a small courtyard is obviously not enough to build. There’s no place for Walnut to have fun. Last time, it almost pulled away the green onions Mother planted.” “Moreover, my brothers are all grown up. They might be engaged one day When the ladies see our situation, who will be happy to marry into our family?” Even Ning Ansheng choked on his soup and coughed until his face turned red Father, Mo ther, can you not look like you agree?Moreover, is this something a younger sister should worry about?
Nmg Anhui had long given up resisting. After his eldest brother finished coughing, he asked, “Brother, where do you think our new house should be built?” His gaze clearly said, “Don’t struggle anymore. Anyway, you’ll have to listen to our sister in the end.”
Ever since she made things clear with her brother, Xiaoxiao had also cleared the path with the banknotes that Shopkeeper Liu had given her. Hence, Ning Ansheng and his entire family knew that their family did not lack money for the time being. Although it was a little sudden to become rich, there was indeed no need to live a hard life since they were no longer poor.
The canal had to be dug for another 10 days. Everyone decided to make a trip to the village and find a few strong people to help build a new house. There was no need to choose the location. Tomorrow, before Ning Ansheng started to go to the academy, they would go to the village chief’s house and buy the piece of land around their house.
This way, they could still live in the old house while building the old house. After building the new house, the old house would not be wasted. It would be renovated and used as a storage room. Oh, right, Xiaoxiao also said that she would dig a cellar underground later and specially use it to place pickled vegetables and pickled pickle jars. This girl even said that she wanted to make wine!
Life was so beautiful and full of hope, so everyone unanimously threw Second Uncle Ning’s matter to the back of their minds.
This time, Ning Fengnian completely separated from the old residence. He was unmoved even when he found out that Second Uncle Ning would be locked up for two years according to the law. However, he did not expect the old residence to not help his second brother either.
The next day, when Xiaoxiao pestered her brother to come to the village chief’s house, she happened to see the angry Old Madam Ning leave. The two of them hurriedly hid behind the house to avoid meeting her.
After explaining their intentions to the village chief, the two of them successfully obtained the title deed. The village chief felt responsible Seeing that the eldest branch of the Ning Family was living better and better, he could only be happier. However, he could not help but mention the old residence when he spoke.
“You should avoid some people from the old residence these days. Just now your Grandma came over and asked me to write another separation document for her, but I didn’t agree.”
That old woman had a bad temper. Who knew who she would look for to vent her anger later?
The village chief sighed. “Dividing up the family can only be done with the consent of both parties. Wouldn’t she have to decide on her own to expel Fengcai from the family?”
Although he also felt that the second son of the Ning Family was outrageous, Sigh, “every family has its own difficulties”, but it should not be as difficult as the old residence.
The siblings looked at each other and did not say anything.
Recalling that she had just promised her brother that she would not hide anything in the future, Xiaoxiao walked out of the village chief’s house and laid er cards on the table. “This matter might be related to me. I told Grandma outside the government office previously that Second Uncle’s matter will definitely implicate Third Uncle. I even scared her Third Uncle that he might not be able to become an official because of this.”
She pursed her lips. “Does she really think that Third Brother Ning’s failure to become an official is only related to her second son?” She was simply overconfident.
“Looks like the old residence is going to explode.” Second Aunt Ning was not someone who was easy to get rid of.
Nmg Ansheng rubbed his sister’s little hair. “Even if the house is in chaos they deserve it.” ’ y
As they had expected, Second Aunt Ning immediately made a scene after knowing her in-laws’ intentions. If not for the fact that her calf was still bleeding and she was a little weak, she would have flipped the roof.
Even so, the neighbors could hear the commotion coming from the old residence day and night for the past few days.
Xiaoxiao was quite surprised to know that the matter of splitting up had been settled. Yun Er had just returned after hearing the news. Seeing her confusion, he immediately shared his gains.
“The head of the second branch was locked up in the government office. The old lady at the old residence asked the second daughter-in-law to sign the separation papers. She didn’t want to at first, but her injuries worsened. She had a fever, was nauseous and exhausted. However, the old lady kept all the money at home. As long as she didn’t press her fingerprint, the old lady wouldn’t treat her. She had no choice but to agree for the sake of her and the child’s life.”
“However, she’s not easy to deal with. This time, it’s different from the time when you split up. She wants enough silver and food to ensure that she won’t starve or freeze.”
Xiaoxiao smiled maliciously. She was lazy and greedy. How long could the money that the old residence had dug out last?
The news that the Ning Family had split up again quickly spread throughout Fortune Village, and it also reached the ears of Ning Fengnian and his son, who were conscientious at the canal. After knowing that the second branch had received 20 taels of silver, Ning Anhui tugged at his fingers. “According to the calculations of each branch, Grandpa and Grandma have at least 80 taels of silver? However, they used to complain to us that they were poor? They even gave us that little when we split up?”
Ning Fengnian also briefly remembered that when he was injured, his mother kept saying that she had no money. He was indignant and indignant, but his sadness had long faded.
“When we go back tonight, go to Pork Qiang’s place to buy a pork belly. Your brother is about to go to the academy. He has to nourish his body.” At this point, he was about to mutter, “Are you really not going to find an academy too?”
Ning Anhui scratched his head. “Father, Big Brother was able to go to Bowen Academy because he has been smart and diligent since he was young. I can’t even read a few words. Which academy would accept me? Besides, I still have to go to the county to help my sister. When the autumn harvest comes, I can’t leave the fields to you and Mother…”
Ning Fengnian sighed. “When you have a child, we’ll support him for his studies from young!”
Nmg Anhui’s face turned red from embarrassment. “Father, why are you like my sister? You’re just spouting nonsense when there’s no news!”
Nmg Fengnian looked at him and smiled. “Why? Are you shy?”
The surrounding villagers also joined in the commotion, causing Ning Anhui to almost give up.
At home, Ning Ansheng was also talking to Xiaoxiao about his second brother.
‘Are we really going to let him not study?”
“I don’t think there’s a need to take the imperial examination when one studies
It’s good to learn more logic and know what to do.”
Xiaoxiao said to her eldest brother, “Second Brother has had no foundation since he was young. It’s more difficult for him to enter the academy He’s not interested in studying himself. It’s not very effective to force him to memorize everything every day. It’s also easy for him to have rebellious thoughts If they want to send him to the academy, he has to memorize the Three Character Classic with those brats with snot on their noses. Don’t you know Second Brother? He cares about his face. How can he agree?”
What his sister said made sense. It was precisely because it made sense that
Nmg Ansheng felt a headache coming on.
Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “Actually, the key is still Second Brother himself. It’s not a problem if he wants to learn.”
Ning Ansheng thought for a while and came back to his senses. “So this is the reason why you asked him to be the shopkeeper of the milk tea shop?” “That’s right,” Xiaoxiao said. “The more knowledge you have, the more you can feel how small you are. The wider your horizons, the more you can understand your own narrowness.. If you can become an eagle with its wings spread, who will be willing to be a frog at the bottom of the well?”
