Shen Ningning just walked away.

Later, Dong A Niu brought Lifen and Lifen's mother, Aunt Ma, to Xiangyun Village again.

Several people were sitting in Grandma Qin's village house. Chen Ye was chopping firewood in the yard and looking coldly into the house from time to time.

Lifen was a little unhappy by his gaze.

"Let's close the door and talk? Is it okay to let an outsider listen?" she said.

Aunt Ma raised her head as if she were at home: "Go and close the door."

But Grandma Qin said: "Don't shut it up. I will discuss marriage with you on behalf of A Niu's mother. This is a good thing. Why are you keeping the door closed? There is nothing shameful about it."

Aunt Ma crossed her arms and said with a mean look: "Grandma Qin, this is what you said."

"When we were at home, A Niu said that you promised to discuss the marriage carefully. Since you are so forthcoming, I will get straight to the point."

"Originally, marrying our Lifen only cost 50 taels of silver, and A Niu gave it to her before."

"But, I still have a condition. If you can't do it, our two families don't have to get married."

Grandma Qin glanced at Dong A Niu and frowned.

Why are there so many things going on in the Ma family?

Dong A Niu was afraid that Grandma Qin wouldn't help, so he walked to her side and smiled softly.

"Aunt, this is very serious. Last time my mother-in-law and Lifen came to the village, they were beaten by a strange little girl."

"No, my mother-in-law lay down for several days after she returned home, crying out in pain every day. So, they just hope that you can help search the village to find out who was the bold person who took action that day."

Lifen shouted: "As well as my mother and my brother's medicine expenses, we have to find this person to pay for them."

Grandma Qin frowned: "You said a child hit someone, it's impossible no matter how hard you listen."

Aunt Ma slammed the table: "She didn't hit her, she asked the maid next to her to hit him!"

"It's called ruthless to start with. I asked around, but I didn't know there was such a ruthless person in Xiangyun Village."

"If you know Grandma Qin, tell us who she is as soon as possible. Don't play favorites just because you are from the same village."

Grandma Qin asked: "What does the little girl you mentioned look like?"

Aunt Ma replied: "With big eyes and fair skin, he looks like a pampered child at first glance."

Grandma Qin's heart sank.

Couldn't it be Ningning?

"The maid beat someone? Are you sure?" Grandma Qin asked tentatively.

Aunt Ma scoffed: "How can I lie to you? All the pairs of eyes in our family saw it, and they all got beaten by her!"

"In the end, I was forced by that maid and had no choice but to jump into the pigsty to protect myself. No matter what the world, there can't be such a bully, right?"

Grandma Qin felt relieved.

It shouldn't be her Ning Ning.

Ning Ning is always accompanied by the Black Wolf King.

Grandma Qin had also seen the two maids in the Xie Mansion, and they didn't look like they knew martial arts.

She then said calmly: "If it is as you said and you were beaten for no reason, I will certainly not protect you."

"It's just that if you have anything to do, you should go to the government and come to me to raise the court. It's useless!"

Aunt Ma suddenly stood up.

"Then what Grandma Qin means is that she doesn't plan to help?"

"We are about to get married, but I never thought that Grandma Qin, you are such a selfish person."

"Lifen, let's go." Aunt Ma dragged Lifen out.

Dong A Niu panicked: "Lifen, don't leave! Oh!"

Grandma Qin shouted: "Aniu, stop."

Dong A Niu turned around and stamped his feet: "If you don't chase me, Lifen will leave."

"Let her go. Her family is not sincere in discussing marriage. If you break up with her, I will find you a girl from a good family." Grandma Qin's voice was not loud, but it just happened to make Lifen, who was not far away, Mother and daughter heard.

Lifen immediately stopped and was about to turn around suspiciously.

Her mother-in-law reacted faster and grabbed Lifen's arm: "Let's go!"

The mother and daughter sat back on the bullock cart.

Lifen was a little panicked: "Mom, Grandma Qin won't really marry Dong A Niu, right?"

"No," Aunt Ma said confidently, "Even if she really wants to marry you, Dong A Niu has already been eaten to death by you. Just wait and see, Dong A Niu will be chasing us soon."

After hearing this, Lifen sat still.

However, the mother and daughter waited for a long time, but did not see Dong A Niu come back.

Lifen scolded angrily: "I misjudged this bastard. If he really dared to agree to Grandma Qin's proposal of marriage, I'm afraid he won't be able to walk now."

Aunt Ma looked livid: "Let's go and see how long he can endure it!"

And in the courtyard of the village house.

Dong A Niu actually chased him out long ago, but was grabbed by Chen Ye.

Grandma Qin signaled Chen Ye to bring people into the house.

"Aunt, what are you doing? If you don't chase her, Lifen will really run away."

"She can't run away!" Grandma Qin hated the irony: "She is sure that you must marry her, and she tests my bottom line again and again."

Dong A Niu was puzzled.

Grandma Qin's usually loving eyebrows now contained wisdom and profundity.

"She suffered injustice in Xiangyun Village, but she asked me to find someone for her."

"It's clear that she has provoked a noble person with high status. She can't swallow this breath and is afraid of offending her." "So, she wants me to stand up for her. It seems that she is asking me to help, but in fact, she is trying to get along with Ningning's county. I want to scare the other party because of my reputation."

Grandma Qin's tone gradually became stern: "I am soft-hearted and everything can be discussed."

"But when it comes to Ning Ning, it's absolutely not allowed. That child has had a hard enough time. No one, including me, can cause her any trouble!"

Dong A Niu rarely saw Grandma Qin looking so majestic.

Especially when she is now wearing decent brocade and fur clothes, she looks very much like Madam Gaoming in the capital.

She actually had the air of a high-ranking old lady.

Dong Aniu nodded tremblingly: "Aunt, don't worry, I will never trouble Ning Ning."

He rubbed his hands and asked tentatively: "Then what you just said, that you want to introduce me to a girl from a good family, does it still count?"

Grandma Qin glanced at him, her eyes filled with helplessness and hatred for his incompetence.

In the end, Grandma Qin could only sigh heavily.

at this time.

Xie Mingan's carriage passed by Wolfen Sweet Water Shop.

The coachman was a servant of the Xie Mansion, and he didn't know that Xie Ming'an had a bad relationship with Shen Ningning.

He introduced happily: "Second Young Master, look to your left. The shop there is the first one in the capital that did good things during the cold weather."

"And the owner of the shop is our lady, Princess Funing!"

Xie Mingan lifted the curtain and looked coldly.

I saw Shen Ningning with her hands on her hips and a group of servants, fiercely cursing a beggar kneeling on the ground.

"If you let me see you again, I will break both of your legs!" Shen Ningning's scolding voice was still childish.

But it was so powerful that it attracted passers-by around to watch.

Xie Ming'an frowned in displeasure and urged the driver: "How can she be considered a young lady of the Xie family? Let's go!"

His carriage had just left.

The beggar kneeling in front of Shen Ningning said regretfully: "Princess, the villain is wrong!"

"A villain should not unload your carriage and ignore your safety for the sake of a bite to eat."

"But, the little man is really hungry!"

Shen Ningning scolded him many times, but Aunt Yun was so angry that she even hit him a few times.

The little guy glared at the beggar angrily: "If you want something to eat, you can come and wait in line for free soup."

"There are so many restaurants in the city that are offering porridge. How can you get hungry if you wait in line?"

After saying that, she asked Wu'er to bring him a bowl of hot soup.

The beggar was grateful, kowtowed repeatedly, sat at the door and drank heavily.

Shen Ningning turned around and entered the shop.

Aunt Yun and Uncle Zhong followed her.

"My boss," Aunt Yun said with a frown, "you shouldn't pity such a person, let alone give him charity."

"Otherwise, next time, he will definitely put you in danger regardless, just for a bite to eat."

Shen Ningning picked up the nearest account book and looked at the daily flow of money.

She took a bite of the red fruit and Nuo Nuo said, "He knew my identity and dared to do anything to my carriage. He must have been starved."

"The world is suffering and the people are suffering. If you can give them a bowl of soup, don't push them to death."

"Just wait a little longer, I have a hunch that my sweet potatoes will have a good harvest!"

Aunt Yun nodded and retreated.

Uncle Zhong came forward with a pen: "My boss, you said last time that you would withdraw 1000 taels of silver from your account to buy a jade pendant."

"There was not enough money in the account before, but today I have enough live money. Do you want to withdraw it?"

Shen Ningning's expression froze, she held the pen holder with her little hand and rubbed it twice.

The first reason I asked for money was to buy a meeting gift for Xie Ming'an.

but now……

"No, I won't buy anything anymore."

For several days, Shen Ningning helped in the shop.

Even Wuer laughed: "Sister Ningning suddenly stopped leaving, I'm so used to it!"

"Sister Ningning used to go back to Langshan or Xie's Mansion whenever she was free."

Shen Ningning grabbed Wu'er's face with her little hand, and the little brother screamed in pain.

"I'm watching you in the shop because I'm afraid you'll be lazy, huh!"

"Wu'er won't be lazy, he is the most diligent."

Two little guys were playing around.

A gentle voice came from the door——

"Ningning."

Shen Ningning looked back and saw Xie Suzhi's tall figure standing outside the shop.

He smiled warmly and dotingly like a father, as if he was here to take his child home.

"Shall we go back for dinner tonight?" he asked.
