The young lady actually didn't mind his disability. Zhang Qin felt a wave of heat rushing up from his chest, making his nose and eyes sore.
Zhang Qin was ashamed to shed tears in front of others, so before the tears fell, he hurriedly bowed to Ning Wei and thanked her, and took the opportunity to blink hard.
"Thank you, Miss! From now on, I will work hard and settle every account, so as to live up to the trust that Miss has placed in me."
Seeing Zhang Qin's respectful eyes turned red, he quickly lowered his body to hide his emotions.
Ning Wei felt as if she had seen the shy man in her previous life.
Ning Wei pretended not to notice and just nodded.
She knew that Zhang Qin was conscientious in his work. Wei Yuan once said that lame Zhang could handle three people in the accounting room.
Wei Yuan said more than once that she was lucky to have such a good helper.
Ning Wei said: "Pack yourself up and come find me tomorrow at Mingyuan in Minghui Lane in the city. It's just on the north side of Yu Street. You'll know as soon as you ask."
Zhang Qin bowed and responded: "Yes, I have written it down."
Ning Wei said: "Okay, you are busy, I will go around everywhere."
Zhang Qin bowed down, sat back on the bench, and began to weave the straw thatch.
Hu Rui took a deep look at Zhang Qin and said softly to Ning Wei: "This Zhang Da is pretty good."
Ning Wei narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in a low voice: "How did you tell that, sir?"
Hu Rui took Ning Wei's hand, leaned his head towards her, and whispered: "The lady asked him to work in the accounting office in the city. If it were anyone else, he would have been so happy that he would have forgotten it.
After he listened, he continued to weave thatch calmly, as if nothing had happened. Just this calmness was better than many people."
Zhang Qin seems to be like this in my impression, always neither sad nor happy, calm and relaxed.
Ning Wei looked at Zhang Qin who was working with his head down, nodded and said: "It is indeed rare!"
Liu Liangcai asked: "Where do you want to go, young lady? Can you lead me there?"
Ning Wei looked at the hillside not far away and asked, "This hillside belongs to us, right?"
Liu Liangcai looked in the direction of Ning Wei's finger, nodded and said: "Yes, from the back to this hillside, from the front to the river. To the right is the road where people are walking, and to the left is the field being plowed. This area
It’s all ours.”
Ning Wei looked around and saw that this place was really nice, with mountains, water, flowers and grass. When her brother's business started to take off next year after spring, she would stay here for a while.
Liu Liangcai then asked: "Miss, would you like to visit the hillside?"
Ning Wei looked at the hillside, nodded and said, "Go up there and walk around."
"The view on the hillside is good." Liu Liangcai took the first step forward and said politely: "Miss, please follow me."
Ning Wei and the others followed Liu Liangcai and headed toward the hillside along the field stems.
After walking through a field road, and then onto dry land, a gust of wind blew the dry corn stalks in the field rustling.
Ning Wei looked at the corn stalk that was half a man tall and asked: "There won't be much harvest of corn this year, right?"
Liu Liangcai looked at the corn fields and sighed: "It's been dry this year. Many corns have been so dry that the flowers haven't even grown.
If the leaves are dry enough to be used as firewood, where will the harvest come from?
This year has been a bad one, and people's lives have been miserable.
It is said that in Zhangjia Village next door, many people go to the city to work as coolies and find odd jobs to support their families.
The day a job is found, the family has food. If no one calls for a job, the family will starve.
Alas, we are close to the capital, and we can still go into the city to do odd jobs. In the villages far away from the city, I am afraid that some people will starve to death."
After getting along for a while, Liu Liangcai was no longer as reserved as before and talked a lot more.
After walking through a valley, the road was no longer smooth and began to climb slowly.
Ning Wei saw the saplings tied with cloth strips in the field nearby and asked, "What kind of tree is this? Why are there strips of cloth tied to it? Are you afraid of breaking it?"
Liu Liangcai smiled and said: "Uncle Zhang did this, did you say it was grafting?"
Ning Wei blurted out: "Changing flowers and replacing trees with trees?"
Liu Liangcai nodded and said: "Yes, that's what it means, but this is not a flower, but a fruit tree. Uncle Zhang said that the fruits harvested in this way will be big and sweet."
Hu Rui was extremely surprised and said: "Uncle Zhang still has this ability? This is a secret skill. Since Uncle Zhang has this, how can he still be a lowly person?"
Xu Yan took over the words, "Yes, people with this secret skill can take what they grow at home and sell it in the city, and they get money. Even if they don't grow it at home, they can still make a lot of money just by helping others graft with this skill.
Less silver."
Liu Liangcai sighed and took over the words, "Speaking of which, Uncle Zhang is also a miserable man."
Ning Wei and the others looked at Liu Liangcai. Hu Rui was impatient and asked, "What's going on? Tell me."
Liu Liangcai said: "I don't know the specific situation very well. I heard Aunt Gui say,
Zhang Bo's family was originally a wealthy family in Zhangjia Village. They had dozens of acres of fertile land and a three-story house.
Uncle Zhang has an elder brother, Li Zheng from Zhangjiacun.
Ordinarily, Uncle Zhang's brother, an upright person, should be a fair person who knows what is right and what is wrong.
But I didn't expect that Uncle Zhang's Li Zheng brother was a strict wife at home and listened to his wife's orders in everything.
Uncle Zhang's sister-in-law is named Meng. This Meng family is both selfish and vicious.
The Meng family coveted Uncle Zhang's farmland and house for more than a day.
For the sake of these family fortunes, the Meng family attacked Zhang Da's mother-in-law several times.
It is said that the disability on Zhang Da's body was brought about in the womb because Meng had tampered with Zhang Da's mother's food.
Later, Grandma Zhang got sick, and Meng asked someone to pretend to be a doctor to treat Grandma Zhang. Not only did she not cure Grandma Zhang’s illness, but within a few years, she took away all of Uncle Zhang’s family property.”
Hu Rui was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother and asked, "Where's Uncle Zhang? Can he just watch his wife being plotted against?"
Ning Wei sighed and said, "Since it's a plan, it's done under the covers."
Hu Rui reacted and said, "Where is Uncle Zhang's brother? Are you going to let her daughter-in-law do whatever you want?"
Xu Yan said: "You didn't listen to what he said. Uncle Zhang's brother is a strict wife."
Hu Rui said: "This man is so unruly that people look down upon him, and yet he is so upright. Hmph!"
In her previous life, Ning Wei only knew that Zhang Qin was Shi Hezheng's son-in-law, but she didn't know any of these details.
Xu Yan snorted coldly: "It's not just Meng who is bad, Zhang Lizheng is the worst one. Zhang Lizheng is a man and the head of the family. Without Zhang Lizheng's acquiescence, Meng would not dare to do anything wrong."
After Ning Wei heard Xu Yan's words, the figures of Ning Guangyan and Zhao immediately came to mind.
Thinking about all the things I have experienced these days, the more I think about it, the colder my heart becomes...
Seeing Ning Wei staggering, Hu Rui quickly reached out to support her and said: "Miss, be careful!"
Ning Wei came back to her senses and thanked Hu Rui: "Thank you, sir. I didn't notice this stone just now."
Hu Rui reminded: "The mountain road is uneven, so be careful when walking and don't lose focus."
After finishing speaking, Hu Rui followed Xu Yan's words: "I agree with Xu Yan's statement. Zhang Lizheng is the head of the family. If he didn't acquiesce, Meng wouldn't have the guts. It should be Zhang Lizheng who covets his younger brother's family business.
Uncle Zhang is pitiful when he meets such a brother."
Liu Liangcai said: "Who says it's not the case? We outsiders all feel aggrieved for Uncle Zhang after hearing this."
Xu Yan asked: "Where is Uncle Zhang? Does he know that his brother cheated him?"
Liu Liangcai shook his head, "I don't know, Uncle Shi doesn't allow the younger ones to mention this matter in front of Uncle Zhang.
The younger one thought that Uncle Zhang knew about it. Even though Uncle Zhang was honest and honest, he didn't talk much and had a very clear mind. He probably knew that his brother's family was unreliable, so he took Zhang Da to the young lady's name."
Xu Yan sighed and murmured: "He wants to find a way for Zhang Da to survive."
Hu Rui nodded and said: "He is afraid that something bad will happen to him, and Zhang Da will be bullied by his brother's family. Compared with survival, it doesn't matter whether he is humble or not."
Liu Liangcai nodded and said: "Uncle Zhang has a good relationship with Uncle Shi. He should know from Uncle Shi that our father and our lady are generous to others, so he is willing to join us."
The group of people walked while talking, and soon reached the top of the hillside.
Liu Liangcai pointed to the south and said: "That's Zhangjiacun. That house with green bricks and blue tiles belongs to Uncle Zhang's family, and now it belongs to Zhang Lizheng's family."
Liu Liangcai's words were full of unwillingness and ridicule.
Ning Wei looked at the village in the distance, feeling deep sadness in her heart.
In this world, not all family ties are worth cherishing. Some relatives are worse than strangers.
Hu Rui turned around and saw that Ning Wei's expression became serious. He was worried that she would think of the bad things at home, so he changed the subject with a smile, "This place is nice, and the horizons are very broad."
Speaking of the good place, Liu Liangcai took over the words with a bit of pride, "There are mountains and rivers here. Uncle Shi said it is a treasure land of Feng Shui. Aunt Gui said, the old lady dotes on our wife the most. She has the best village and shop.
Gave it to Madam."
Ning Wei has no memory of her mother. Her knowledge of her comes from her brother, grandmother and servants in the house.
Ning Wei looked at Liu Liangcai, "Have you met A Niang?"
Liu Liangcai nodded, "I've seen her before! However, after so many years, I can't remember many things clearly. In my impression, Madam loves to laugh and is very friendly to others."
Ning Wei wanted to know about her mother. Seeing that Liu Liangcai really couldn't remember it clearly, she felt a little regretful and didn't force Liu Liangcai any more.
A few people chatted on the hillside for a while, and Ning Wei and his party set out to return to the city.
When they returned to the city, Uncle Zhang had not returned yet.
Liu Liangcai and Zhang Qin took the people from Zhuangzi to send Ning Wei and others to the official road.
Before leaving, Ning Wei gave Zhang Qin a few words before leaving in the car.
On the way back to the city, Ning Wei leaned against the carriage and said nothing. Hu Rui saw her looking miserable and asked, "Miss, are you still angry about what happened in the morning?"
Ning Wei shook her head and said, "No, it's not wrong to be angry for Ning Guangyan.
Ning Guangyan has nothing to do with my brother and me. If he dares to do anything random, he can just do it.
The reason why I'm forbearing with him now is because of my grandmother's sake.
It’s not easy for my grandmother to be caught in the middle. Speaking of which, my grandmother has sacrificed a lot for me and my brother, and I can only be grateful to my grandmother.”
Seeing that she had thought about it, Hu Rui smiled and said, "Just think about it. There is no lunch break today. Are you tired? Miss, take a rest first. I'll call you when we get there."
Ning Wei nodded, "Okay!"
After saying that, Ning Wei closed her eyes. Although she was not sleepy, in order not to worry Hu Rui, she still closed her eyes.
On the other side, Mrs. Zhao watched Ning Guangyan limping out of the crowd and said to Nanny Qin: "Let me take care of it. Today's incident cannot be spread."
Aunt Qin bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand."
Nanny Qin hid in the crowd to explain.
When Qin Li and Shao Yang saw Ning Guangyan coming out, they took a step forward and helped him walk towards the carriage.
"Master, have you knelt down for so long, are your legs numb? Mother, too, why are you so cruel to make me kneel for so long?" Seeing Mrs. Zhao lift the car curtain, she bent down to help Ning Guangyan with a heartbroken look on her face.
Ning Guangyan got into the car with his waist bent, sat down on the soft couch, grinned and groaned: "Oh, my old waist."
When Mrs. Zhao saw this, she rubbed Ning Guangyan's waist and legs and said, "Is it so uncomfortable? I feel so heartbroken."
Ning Guangyan put his hand on Zhao's shoulder and said softly: "Xiao Man, don't be sad. I'll just sit down and take it easy."
Ms. Zhao complained: "Why is my mother so cruel? She made me kneel down for so long! And even let me be beaten. He is my only son. How could my mother be willing to let me be beaten?"
Ning Guangyan did not answer Zhao's words, but said: "Xiao Man, I'm thirsty, please pour me a cup of tea."
Mrs. Zhao quickly let go of Ning Guangyan, took out a teacup from the secret compartment, and poured a cup of tea for Ning Guangyan.
Ning Guangyan picked up the tea cup, drank all the tea in one breath, and then handed the cup to Zhao.
Zhao asked: "Do you want more?"
Ning Guangyan shook his head, "No need."
Mrs. Zhao put the cup away and then said: "Sir, what should we do next? It won't work here with my mother. I can't explain it to the Yamen."
Ning Guangyan sat back on the soft couch and said after a while: "Madam, don't worry, mother's side has become loose today. Next, let's continue to grind mother."
Mrs. Zhao looked at Ning Guangyan blankly and asked in surprise: "What did the master say? Is there anything loose on my mother's side?"
My mother made me kneel down for so long, and even asked me to beat him. Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?"
Ning Guangyan pursed his lips and smiled, "No, I understand mother.
If my mother didn't want to pay attention to me, she would ask someone to chase me out when I knelt down at the door. If my mother didn't ask anyone to chase me out, she was giving me a chance."
Zhao looked at Ning Guangyan and asked, "How do you explain the matter of letting people beat me?"
Ning Guangyan said: "That was also done for Ning Yu and Ning Wei. The person who hit me didn't use any force, it was just for show."
Zhao's eyes lit up, she looked at Ning Guangyan and asked, "So, mother has softened her heart?"
Ning Guangyan nodded.
Zhao said excitedly: "Ning Yu and Ning Wei have always listened to their mother. As long as their mother relaxes, Ning Yu and Ning Wei will move back to Ning Mansion with their mother sooner or later.
As long as they move back to Ning Mansion and see Master Shangshu, I can explain it to them."
Ning Guangyan nodded, "Yes, as long as they live back, the matter will be solved.
Madam, Ning Yu and Ning Wei have gone back to live together. Madam must treat them better.
People's hearts are made of flesh, if my wife treats them well, they will also treat her well."
Ning Guangyan's words made Zhao feel very uncomfortable.
Ms. Zhao wanted to get angry, but for the sake of the overall situation, Ms. Zhao swallowed her anger.
