Ning Ansheng looked at his younger brother thoughtfully and only looked away from him. Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue and pretended to be experienced as she sighed. “Ah, Second Brother has grown up.”

Ning Anhui almost choked on his own saliva. Not to be outdone, he retorted, “You’re the youngest in our family!”

Xiaoxiao nodded. “That’s right, so you should get married first.”

Ning Anhui couldn’t win against her, so he asked with a straight face, “Is there enough bricks and wood?”

Hehe, look at how anxious he was.

In order to prevent her brother from exploding, Xiaoxiao didn’t joke anymore and only told her parents about this.

The two of them naturally did not object to the matter of their descendants studying. Not only did they not object, but they also immediately got to work The villagers who came to wrap up today were busy for two more days. When they heard that the Ning Family was going to build a study room the Villagers were really impressed and envious. However, books were so expensive. They probably wouldn’t be able to learn such skills in their lives. During the discussion of the plan, a villager asked hesitantly, “Fengnian, have you heard about the old residence?”

Yesterday, they were not at home and came back late. Ning Fengnian’s expression became a little calmer. “I only heard a portion of it.”

The villagers filled in the gaps that they did not know yet.

For example, the old residence had suffered heavy losses. Half of the courtyard had been burned down and a son had died.

For example, Second Aunt Ning had yet to be found. Old Madam Ning suspected that she had absconded after setting the fire.

For example, Old Madam Ning was preparing to hold a funeral for her second son and had sent news to the villagers to send Fengcai off for the last time Everyone was saying in private that they wanted them to pay to make up the losses in the family.

It had to be known that regardless of whether it was, a gift was definitely indispensable when they were participating in a happy matter or a sad event. But what was wrong with the old residence? Their son died and they used him as a business to make money?

Someone complained angrily, “She can’t possibly be planning to ask us to send back the 50 taels of silver that Second Ning gave away, right?”

“We’re not that rich.”

As they were talking, Little Aunt Ning, who looked reluctant, appeared outside the Ning Family with a bamboo hat covered by a veil. “Big Brother, Big Brother are you at home?”

Wasn’t this obvious? There were so many people. Could it be that they were all trying to break in?

Madam Song was close. She wiped the water off her hands and walked over “What’s the matter?”

Little Aunt Ning rolled her eyes behind the veil. “What has it got to do with you that I’m looking for my brother?”

Before Madam Song could speak, she heard Ning Fengnian say angrily, “If it has nothing to do with my wife, I don’t think it has anything to do with me Leave.”

Little Aunt Ning was anxious now. She realized aggrievedly and unwillingly that Ning Fengnian did not intend to give in, so she reluctantly called him “Big Sister-in-law”.? ⁵

Madam Song was originally quite angry, but she was relieved to see Ning Fengnian protecting her.

The old residence was in a mess now. It could be considered karma.

Little Aunt Ning felt that Big Brother was much more dignified than before He was already muscular to begin with. It was quite scary for him to put on such a stern face. She remembered the mission her mother had given her and lowered her head to look at the ground.

“Big Brother, no matter what misunderstanding there is between us, you should at least come and send Second Brother off. It can be considered as fulfilling our relationships all these years.”

“A person’s death is like a lamp going out. Even if Second Brother did anything wrong to you in the past, you should forget about it now that he’s gone.” “Father and Mother are already old. Even if Second Brother is muddle-headed Father and Mother have really worked hard to raise you. If you still care about’ our old relationship, it’s not too much to visit Father and Mother every festive season, right?”

Ning Fengnian did not know if he would feel a little guilty if he did not know what his second sister-in-law had said and done in the county office. Anyway he only felt cold and his scalp went numb.

If what Second Sister-in-law said in the county office was true, how ruthless must his stepmother be?

But with Second Sister-in-law’s personality of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, how could she have the courage to lie to the county magistrate? Little Aunt Ning, who was used to being spoiled at home, lost her temper when she didn’t hear his response for a long time. “I’m talking to you, Big Brother Are you going or not? I don’t think you’re unwilling to attend Second Brother’s funeral just because you don’t want to give a gift of money, right? Father and Mother have already removed him from the genealogy, but they are still willing to help him. How can you have the cheek?”

Looking at the grand house behind them, Little Aunt Ning felt jealous. “Indeed, the richer they are, the stingier they are!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoxiao walked out of the kitchen “We’ll go.”

Little Aunt Ning couldn’t stand how the eldest branch doted on that little girl but it wasn’t appropriate for her to refute her now. She could only remind her sourly, “Don’t go empty-handed and make a fool of yourself.”

According to the bailiff, Second Aunt Ning had fainted yesterday, so County Magistrate Shen would definitely settle the matter today. At least, he would have to summon the relevant people to court.

She also wanted to use the original host’s eyes to take a good look and see what happened to the old residence.

Since his sister had said so, Ning Ansheng and Ning Anhui had no objections. Coincidentally, today was the academy’s day off. Ning Ansheng also felt that his learning efficiency had improved greatly last night, so he didn’t mind taking the time to make a trip.

Even though Ning Anhui only cared about money, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He was afraid that those lunatics in the old residence would act up and hurt his sister and mother.

Little Aunt Ning had completed her goal for this trip. She looked at the imposing new house of the eldest branch longingly before leaving. She could not help but mutter as she left.

“What’s so great about it? When I marry a rich official later, it’ll be 10 times bigger than your house!”

Xiaoxiao had sharp ears and eyes. She only wanted to laugh when she heard that.

The old residence was really capable. They were clearly living such a poor life, but they raised a daughter who was very ambitious. It could be seen how important education was to the next generation!

She turned around and emphasized solemnly, “We have to build our study room well!”

Since she was going to participate in the funeral, the construction of the study room could only be put on hold for the time being. In accordance with the principle of casting a wide net and fishing more, Old Madam Ning informed the entire village, causing the outside of Second Uncle Ning’s mourning hall to be filled with people. It was as if he was a big shot with a high status.

Old Madam Ning and Old Sir Ning were entertaining guests in the mourning hall. They were dressed plainly and looked miserable. To outsiders, their faces were filled with sorrow.

However, Ning Fengnian found her performance even more terrifying. Noticing everyone from the eldest branch, Old Madam Ning’s eyes lit up. Her cry was even louder than before.

“My son, you went so miserably!”

Everyone from the eldest branch felt goosebumps quickly crawl up their arms. Seeing that they were standing outside without coming in, Old Madam Ning quickly lost her patience.

“What do you mean, Fengnian? Your second brother did let you down in the past, but now that he has already died to apologize, you still want to hold a grudge and let him die with grievances?”

Now that things had come to this, she still had to play the blame game. Ning Fengnian sighed. Before he could speak, he heard horse hooves and footsteps not far away.

The villagers looked around in confusion. Only the eldest branch, who knew some inside information, made way with complicated expressions..
