Ning Ansheng and Ning Anhui quickly understood their younger sister’s concerns. The two of them discussed on the way and said that the school’s workload was heavy and the shop’s business was busy. They had to fetch their parents to help for two days.
The old residence was in a mess. Little Aunt Ning hugged the door and wailed, shouting that she was to be a young mistress. Second Aunt Ning was dumbfounded. She knocked on the door in disbelief.
“Husband, come out! Tell me that this isn’t true! How can you sell me out? I’m still pregnant with your Ning Family’s child!”
Second Uncle Ning locked the door. He was fearless when he did this, but he was too ashamed to face anyone in the old residence now.
Second Aunt Ning shouted until her voice was hoarse, but she didn’t get a response. She finally believed that what the human broker said was the truth. She couldn’t help but cry. ’’Ning Fengcai, you’re not human! You’re an animal! What sin did I, Liu Cuihua, commit in my previous life to be humiliated by you like this in this life? Ah—”
Her last voice was filled with grief and indignation, but there was a hint of pain that could not be concealed. “My, my stomach…”
Her stomach was throbbing, but ever since she was pregnant, she had caused too many troubles in the village under the pretext of her stomach being uncomfortable. For a moment, no one believed her until water started flowing out from under her…
“Blood, it’s blood! Second Ning, come out quickly. Your wife is bleeding!” The human broker wanted people, not human lives. It was not appropriate to stop her now. He could only let a few village women carry her into the house. There was no time to find the midwife. Everyone could only boil water and boil scissors according to their experience, preparing to deliver her baby. Old Madam Ning wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape, but the door was guarded tightly. If she could not take out the money or hand over the person, no one could leave.
The old woman placed her hands on her hips and said aggressively, “Do you still have the law?! Aren’t you afraid that the county magistrate will hit you?” The person snorted in disdain. “It’s only right and proper to repay a debt Your second son signed a contract. Even if we look for the county magistrate, we’re still in the right.”
Old Madam Ning was unconvinced. “I already said that he stole the deed!”
The person chuckled. “You’re all family. There’s no need to talk about stealing.” Old Madam Ning’s heart skipped a beat and she swallowed some words that were stuck in her throat. “I’m not running. I’m just going to raise money. You guys know that I have an eldest son, right? His family is rich. It’s not a problem for him to pay 300 taels.”
The surrounding villagers gasped—300 taels? And it was “mere”?
They did not know if they should be shocked by this old woman’s tone of not taking 300 taels of silver seriously, or by Second Ning’s courage to lose so much money without money, or by their shamelessness?
Did this group of people think that no matter what happened, as long as they found the eldest branch, someone would clean up the mess for them?
They couldn’t help but worry about Ning Fengnian and his family.
The villager, who couldn’t stand it anymore, said loudly, “Auntie, have you forgotten that you’ve long cut ties with the Fengnian’s family?”
There were even more direct comments. “Isn’t it a little inappropriate for you as a stepmother?”
Old Madam Ning’s face didn’t turn red at all. She pulled the old man over. “I’m his stepmother, but this is his biological father, right? I don’t care about cutting ties with him. If Ning Fengnian doesn’t care about his biological father he’s unfilial!”
They had never seen such a shameless woman like her!
After dissing the villagers, Old Madam Ning placed her hands on her hips and glared at the debt collectors. “Put down my things and my daughter! I guarantee that you won’t be able to get a single cent if you dare to touch her!” “See the one giving birth inside? That’s my daughter-in-law. It’s very dangerous for a woman to give birth. Let me tell you, if she dies, you won’t be here to collect debts, but to kill! If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have suddenly given birth.”
-When the time comes, I want to see if owing money or killing people is the more serious crime at the county magistrate!”
These words really intimidated them. Taking advantage of this moment, Old Madam Ning said, “People inside, listen up. If they don’t let me go to the Ning Family, you’re not allowed to deliver Liu Cuihua’s child! Otherwise, if anything happens, I’ll go to each of your houses to scold you!”
The faces of the women, who wanted to help deliver the baby, turned ashen. They threw away the scissors angrily. “This unreasonable evil woman! We want to help her save her, but she actually clings to us?”
Second Aunt Ning was barely breathing. She had been feeding herself a lot recently. The child had grown too big, and she couldn’t get it out no matter how hard she tried. Instead, she was about to use up all her strength. Hearing this, she looked at the people in the house with pleading eyes.
“Please, save me and my son…”
The women sighed. “It’s not that we don’t want to save you, but your mother-in-law won’t let us!”
Second Aunt Ning’s tears kept flowing down. She felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. She bit her tongue hard. She actually gained strength from somewhere and screamed as she leaned down.
The women’s faces turned pale. “Why is there so much blood!”
When the debtor heard the commotion, he thought that he was just asking for money. Hence, he sent a few thugs to walk towards the Ning Family with Old Sir Ning and Old Madam Ning.
The thugs’ eyes lit up when they saw the imposing manner of the Ning Family’s courtyard. Such a huge courtyard. They might really be able to take out 300 taels of silver?
However, the smugness on Old Madam Ning’s face disappeared as she got closer.
Old Sir Ning was nervous on the way. He usually did not like to take care of things and let the old woman take care of everything at home. He did not interact much with his eldest son. He did not know how to start when he was suddenly asked to ask his son for money.
Hence, when he saw a string of large copper locks on the tightly shut courtyard door, he strangely felt relieved for a moment. After that, he was filled with panic. Fengnian was not around, so who else could they look for?
Old Madam Ning was also used to tyrannizing others. She raised her foot and was about to smash the lock. Just as she did so, Walnut’s fierce cry came from the courtyard. Yun Er, who was holding a sword, walked out of the courtyard next door. “What’s all the fuss about?! Miss Ning’s family has gone to the county. They’re not at home.”
“Yo, Auntie, did you change from stealing to snatching?”
Rong Yan, who was refined but cold, walked out from behind him. ‘You entered and stole. You’ll be flogged 30 times and imprisoned for three years.”
This was a threat!
However, Old Madam Ning did not dare to ignore it!
“What’s there to be smug about!” She muttered softly. “You simply went to a lousy academy but my son is still a Tongsheng!”
However, when she turned around and met the unfriendly gazes of the two thugs, she could not help but shiver.
“I-I’Il go back and gather money for you…”
The thugs were even more speechless. “After all this time, you have money. Then why did you let us run around for nothing? Are you playing with us?” Old Madam Ning clenched her fists. “We don’t have enough money at home.” She made a decision in her heart that no one knew.
After returning, Old Madam Ning endured her heartache and took out the jewelry she had bought for Little Aunt Ning. She also mortgaged the bracelet she had hidden for many years. After the value of the jewelry was suppressed to 50 taels by the people from the gambling house, there was still a huge gap from the 300 taels they wanted. Old Madam Ning lowered her voice and said that it would take time to sell the things and asked the two of them to come back in the future..
