Ning Ansheng looked at his younger brother thoughtfully, only to look away from him, and Xiaoxiao sighed in a pretentious tone: "Ah, my second brother has grown up."

Ning Anhui almost choked on his own saliva, and he retorted unwillingly: "You are the youngest in our family!"

Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, so you should get married first."

Ning An replied that he couldn't help her, so he asked with a straight face: "Are there enough bricks and wood?"

Hehe, look at how anxious he is.

In order to avoid teasing her brother too much, Xiaoxiao stopped joking and just told her parents about it.

Of course, the two of them would not object to a major matter related to the education of their children and grandchildren. Not only did they not object, they immediately started to take care of it and kept the villagers who came to finish the finishing work today busy for two more days.

When they heard that the Ning family was going to build a reading room, the villagers really admired and envied them. However, books were so expensive, so they probably wouldn't be able to learn such writing in their lifetime.

During the discussion and planning, some villagers asked hesitantly: "Fengnian, have you heard about the old house?"

They were not at home yesterday and came back late. Ning Fengnian's expression became lighter: "I only heard part of it."

The villagers filled in the parts they didn't know yet.

For example, the old house suffered heavy losses, half of the yard was burned down, and a son died.

For example, there is still no trace of Aunt Ning. Mrs. Ning suspects that she set the fire and fled out of fear of crime.

Another example is that Mrs. Ning was preparing to hold a funeral for her second son, and sent a message to everyone in the village asking them to send Fengcai on his last journey. Everyone said privately that she wanted them to provide money to fill the vacancy in the family.

You must know that for fellow villagers, no matter whether they participate in white or red events, giving a gift is definitely indispensable.

But is what Lao Zhai did called human affairs? His dead son was used as a profitable business by them?

Someone complained angrily: "You're not planning on asking us to give her back the more than fifty taels of silver that Ning Er gave away, are you?"

"We are not that rich."

Just as he was talking, the reluctant Aunt Ning appeared outside the Ning family wearing a nondescript gauze hat: "Brother, are you at home?"

Isn’t this nonsense? With so many people, could it be that they are all trying to escape into the void?

Mrs. Song was close, wiped the water on her hands and walked over: "Is something wrong?"

Aunt Ning rolled her eyes behind her gauze scarf: "I'm looking for my elder brother. What's the matter with you?"

Before Mrs. Song could speak, she heard Ning Fengnian say angrily: "If something happens without my wife, it must have nothing to do with me, so you can go."

Aunt Ning was now anxious. She found out that Ning Fengnian was unwilling to give in, so she reluctantly called out "sister-in-law."

Mrs. Song was quite angry at first, but she felt relieved when she saw Ning Fengnian protecting her.

The old house is now in a mess, and it can be considered that evil is rewarded.

Aunt Ning felt that her eldest brother was much more majestic than before. He was already strong, but it was scary to have such a serious face. She was thinking about the task given by her mother, looked down at the ground and spoke.

"Brother, no matter what misunderstandings there are between us, the second brother is gone, why don't you come and give me a gift? It will also settle the friendship of eating from the same pot over the years."

"Death is like a lamp going out. Even if your second brother had any regrets against you in the past, forget it now that he is gone."

"My parents are old. Even if my second brother is confused, my parents have really worked hard to raise you. If you still miss your old relationship, it's not too much to visit your parents during the holidays, right?"

Ning Fengnian didn't know if he would feel a little guilty if he didn't know what his second brother and sister said and did at the county government office. Anyway, now, he only feels cold all over his body and his scalp is numb.

If what the second brother and sister said in the county government office are true, then how cruel can his stepmother be?

But where did the second sibling's bullying and shying temperament give her the courage to lie in front of the county magistrate?

After not hearing his response for a long time, Aunt Ning, who was used to being the eldest lady at home, got angry: "Are we talking to you, brother? Are you going or not? I said you didn't do it just because you didn't want to be polite. Even the second brother's You don't want to attend the funeral, do you? My parents have already removed the person from the family tree and they volunteered to help him, how can you be so embarrassed?"

Looking at the grand house behind them, Aunt Ning felt sour in her heart: "Sure enough, the richer people are, the stingier they are!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoxiao walked out of the kitchen: "Go."

Aunt Ning couldn't bear to see the big house doting on a girl like this, but she couldn't refute her words at this time, so she had to remind her bitterly: "Don't go empty-handed and make people laugh."

According to the yamen servant, Second Aunt Ning fainted yesterday. No matter what happened today, Magistrate Shen would have settled the matter. At least it would be inevitable to summon the relevant people to court.

She also wanted to use the eyes of the original owner to take a good look and see what happened to the old house.

Since my sister has said so, first of all, Ning Ansheng and Ning Ansheng have no objection. Today is the day when the academy takes turns. Ning Ansheng also feels that his study efficiency has been greatly improved last night, so he doesn't mind taking the time to go there.

Even Ning An, who looked at this money-losing person, was not in a hurry to leave. He was afraid that the crazy people in the old house would get sick and not hurt his sister and mother.

Aunt Ning's purpose of this trip was accomplished, and she looked at the grand new house of the big house with nostalgia, and then she walked away, looking back three times. As she left, she couldn't help but mutter.

"What's the big deal? Wait until I marry a rich official. The house will be ten times bigger than yours!"

Xiaoxiao has a sharp ear and eyes, and she just wants to laugh after hearing this.

Lao Zhai is really capable. He obviously lived such a life and raised a daughter with a high ambition. This shows the importance of education to the next generation!

She turned around and emphasized solemnly: "Our study room must be built well!"

Since she had to attend a funeral, the matter of building a study room could only be put on hold for the time being. In line with the principle of casting a wide net to catch more fish, Mrs. Ning notified the whole village, causing the second uncle Ning's funeral hall to be full of people. , making it look like he is a big shot with great status.

Mrs. Ning and Mr. Ning were entertaining guests in the mourning hall. They were plainly dressed and looked miserable. To outsiders, their faces looked really sad.

Ning Fengnian felt even more frightened because of her performance.

When she noticed everyone in the big room, Mrs. Ning's eyes lit up and she cried louder than before.

"My son, it was so miserable for you to die!"

Everyone in the big room felt a circle of fine goose bumps quickly crawling on their arms.

Seeing them standing outside without coming in, Mrs. Ning quickly lost her patience.

"What do you mean, boss? Your second brother was sorry for you in the past, but now he has died to apologize. Do you still want to hold grudges like this and let him die in peace?"

At this point, she still wanted to rake things up. Ning Fengnian sighed. Before she could speak, she heard the sound of horse hooves and footsteps not far away.

The villagers looked around in confusion. Only the people in the big house who knew some of the inside story had complicated expressions and got out of the way.
