Shen Ningning just walked away.

 On the back foot, Dong A Niu brought Lifen and Lifen's mother, Aunt Ma, to Xiangyun Village again.

A few 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 normal to let an outsider listen?" she said.

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

Grandma Qin said, "No need to close it. I will discuss the 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 fifty 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 is there so much going on in the Ma family?

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

“Aunt, this is a serious matter. 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 then 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 that a child hit someone, no matter how hard you listen, it's impossible."

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

“He’s a ruthless person. I asked around, but I didn’t know there was such a ruthless person in Xiangyun Village.”

“Grandma Qin, if you know, 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.

 It can’t be Ning Ning, right?

"The maid beats 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 should not be her Ning Ning.

Ning Ning is always accompanied by the Black Wolf King.

Grandma Qin has also seen the two maids in Xie's Mansion, and they don't look like they are good at 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.

“So what does Grandma Qin mean, is she not going 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.

Li Fen 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 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 dares to agree to Grandma Qin's proposal of marriage, I'm afraid he won't be able to walk now."

Aunt Ma’s face was ashen: “Let’s go and see how long he can endure it!”

 In the courtyard of the village house.

 Dong A Niu actually chased him out a long time 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 fact that iron cannot be made into steel: “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 are now filled with wisdom and profundity.

“She suffered a lot of 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 bear to swallow it, and she is afraid of offending her."  "So, she wants me to stand up for her. It seems that she wants 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 okay. That child has had a hard enough time, and no one, including me, can cause her any trouble!”

 Dong A Niu rarely saw Grandma Qin looking so majestic.

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

He has the air of a high-ranking old lady.

Dong A Niu 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 looked at him with a look of 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 is a servant of the Xie Mansion. I don't know that Xie Ming'an and Shen Ningning have a bad relationship.

He introduced it cheerfully: "Second Young Master, look to the left. The shop there is the first one in the capital that does 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 childlike.

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

Xie Mingan 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 regretted it and said: "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 opening their tents to give out porridge. How can you be 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 behind her.

“Master,” Aunt Yun frowned and said, “Such a person should not be pitied, let alone given alms.”

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

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

She took a bite of the red fruit and Nuo Nuo said: "He knows my identity and dares 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: "Master, you said last time that you would withdraw one thousand taels of silver from your account to buy a jade pendant."

“There was not enough money in the account before, but today we 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.

 At first I asked for money because I wanted to buy a meeting gift for Xie Mingan.

but now…

 “No need, 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!"

“Previously, whenever Sister Ningning was free, she would either go back to Langshan or go to Xie’s Mansion.”

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, hum!”

“Wu’er will not be lazy, he is the most diligent.”

 When two little guys were playing around.

 A gentle voice came from the door—

 “Ning Ning.”

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 coming to pick up his child and take him home.

 “Shall we go back for dinner tonight?” he asked.

 Have school started/went to work?
