Chapter 254 Changed

When Ning Gang and Huo Xi returned, Sun Huzi had already slaughtered both pigs.

Ning Yu asked, "Brother, how do you determine the price of meat?"

Ning Jian knew that Ning Lu had killed both pigs, so he said, "You hunted them, so you have the final say."

Upon hearing this, everyone focused their attention on Ning Yu, waiting for his verdict.

Ning Yu said to everyone, "How about this? The price will remain the same as before. I'll give you an extra pound for every pound you buy. I'll also give you some pork bones to make soup with."

As Ning Yu finished speaking, a voice rang out from the crowd: "Life is so difficult now, and you have so much meat that you can't finish it all. What's wrong with giving us some?"

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was Aunt Ma.

Aunt Ma felt uncomfortable with the gazes of the crowd, so she stiffened her neck and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with what I said? This meat weighs several hundred kilograms.

If we don't buy them, they won't be able to take them away, right? Even if they can, they'll definitely go bad in a few days, so it's better to be generous and give them to us."

Sun Xiaoxi said, "Your calculations are quite good. If it weren't for Ning Yu, who knows how many people would have been injured if the wild boar had escaped. You said it wasn't easy to hunt the prey, and you just want to eat it for free. How shameless."

Aunt Ma said with an unhappy look on her face: "This is none of your business, why are you saying so much?"

Ning Yu sneered, "I have the final say on my family's affairs. If anyone needs to buy meat, go ahead and buy it. If anyone doesn't want to buy it, we won't force them."

"Your family is not allowed to buy meat from our family." Ning Yu pointed directly at Aunt Ma and said.

Then he pointed at the second son, Ning Chengcai, and the third son, Ning Chenggong, and said, "And you two, you are not allowed to buy either."

Ning Chenggong saw this and quickly said, "My boy, your Third Uncle has already separated from your Second Uncle. We no longer live together. Don't take your resentment towards him onto me!"

Ning Yan said at this time: "Whether to divide the family is your business, it has nothing to do with us, but you are a member of the Ning family, so we will not sell our things to your family.

Third Uncle probably forgot that when you were a child, you stole chickens from the next village. When you were discovered, you put the blame on my father and had him beaten.

Before your injury healed, your parents sent you to work in the fields. Because you had a fever, you fell directly into the ground and almost died.

Not only did you not feel the slightest bit of guilt about this, you even waited until my father recovered from his illness and then ran up to him and mocked him.

You may have forgotten these things, but I haven't. From now on, you Ning family members should stay out of my family's affairs, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

This happened when Ning Jian was 2 months old. He was still a baby in swaddling clothes and could do nothing but worry.

However, when he grew up, he found an opportunity to give Ning Chenggong a good beating, causing him to break one of his legs and stay in bed for three months.

During that time, we even found an opportunity to add a little croton to the medicine he took. At that time, he couldn't move his legs and could only lie in bed. You can imagine how bad the smell was on the bed and in the room when he had diarrhea.

At that time, they had already severed their relationship, and Ning Chenggong was still a child, not yet of marriageable age. The other children in the family disliked the smell and were unwilling to take care of the house. In the end, it was Old Lady Ning who did the cleaning for him while cursing at him.

Ning Chenggong kept silent after hearing this. Ning Chengcai wanted to fight for it at first, but after hearing what Ning Yan said, he also kept silent. He was afraid that Ning Yan would expose his past in public.

It was even more impossible for Aunt Ma to say anything else. Sun Xiaoxi felt very relieved to see Aunt Ma being humiliated.

Afterwards, Ning Yu invited everyone to come and buy meat if they needed it.

The head of Wangjia Village came over and asked, "Young man, our village would like to buy your meat. How much do you want?"

"40 wen per pound." Ning Lu said.

"Is there a free pound if I buy one pound?" asked the head of Wangjia Village.

"No, I'm afraid there won't be enough for the people in our village to buy." Ning Yu said.

In fact, this was just an excuse. The main reason was that along the way, he realized that the people in Wangjia Village were relatively wealthy and were from other villages. His price was already 10 cents lower than that in the town and 15-20 cents lower than that in the county, so he stopped delivering.

Upon hearing this, the village chief of Wangjia Village did not bargain anymore, but instead indicated to the villagers that if they wanted to buy, they could go and buy it. After all, the price was much cheaper than in town.

Ning Lu and Ning Chengyong stayed here to sell meat, and Ning Zheng asked Huo Xi to take the half pork that he had specially reserved to prepare lunch.

He said to Sun Xiaoxi, "Don't cook today, just eat with us."

"Okay, then I'll help you." Sun Xiaoxi said.

Then he said to his brother Sun Yuexi, "Go play with Xiaoyun and Xiaojing."

"I understand, mom." Sun Yuexi answered obediently.

Ning Jing said to Sun Yuexi: "I'll take you to play with toys."

Sun Yuexi was a year older than Huo Yun and Ning Jing. Upon hearing this, he asked, "What toy?"

"Bite your fingers." Huo Yun said with a wicked smile.

Then he took out the snake-shaped finger-biting toy from his backpack and explained the rules to Sun Yuexi. Then they played rock-paper-scissors, and whoever lost would start biting their teeth first.

As luck would have it, Sun Yuexi was the third one to press the button, and he was bitten. His finger hurt, and he thought it was going to be bitten off. He was so scared that he quickly shook his arm, trying to get the toy off.

And cried out, "Ah, Ah, my hand is broken, my hand is about to break."

Sun Xiaoxi heard the sound and ran over and asked nervously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Sun Yuexi held up the finger that was bitten by the toy and cried, "Oh my god, my finger is going to be bitten off."

Huo Yun quickly said, "No, Sun A'mo, open this one."

Then he stretched out his little hand, opened the toy, and Sun Yuexi's hand was released.

There were some red marks on his fingers, but nothing serious.

Ning Yan heard the noise and came over. He slapped Huo Yun and Ning Jing on the head and scolded them, "I told you to play with me, not to bully me."

The two brothers were beaten and held their heads in their hands, looking at Ning Yan with innocent faces. They didn't know that Sun Yuexi would cry.

Ning Yan dug out a few red wild fruits from his backpack and handed them to Sun Yuexi, comforting him, "Give these fruits to Brother Xi. Don't give them to those two brats. Don't cry anymore."

He had just picked these wild fruits in the mountains.

Sun Yuexi now realized that Huo Yun and the others were deliberately teasing her and had scared her to tears, so she felt a little embarrassed.

It turned out that the toy would not bite off fingers. I was a little surprised, so I buried my head in Sun Xiaoxi's shoulder and didn't want to come out.

Seeing this, Sun Xiaoxi smiled and said to Ning Yan, "He's probably just shy. Let him relax for a while and he'll be fine."

Ning Yan stuffed the fruit in his hand into Sun Xiaoxi's hand and said, "Then you can give it to him later. I'm going to cook. Don't go to help. Just comfort Brother Xi first."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoxi did not refuse and reached out to take it.

Before Ning Yan left, he lectured Huo Yan and Ning Jing a few words, then turned around and went back to cook.

When the meal was at its best, Sun Yuexi's mood had recovered and he started playing with Huo Yun and his brother again. They were still playing the finger-biting game, and the punishment was to draw on his face with charcoal.

When Ning Yan saw this situation, he couldn't help but slap someone again. What a shame, he had to help these two kids wash their faces before dinner.

Sun Xiaoxi said helplessly, "Brother Xi, you are a little brother, why are you as unruly as your two younger brothers?"

While enjoying her mother washing her face, Sun Yuexi said sweetly, "This is fun. My brothers brought me some fruit to eat. That fruit is sweet."

"Then if you have anything delicious in the future, you can share it with your younger brothers." Sun Xiaoxi said.

"Yeah." Sun Yuexi nodded.

There were hundreds of people fleeing famine in the forest. The two wild boars Ning Lu caught were not small. Excluding the bones and offal, the meat weighed more than 500 kilograms.

They had previously kept half a pig's flesh, weighing almost 100 jin, and two sets of pig's offal.

The remaining ones were bought by people from Wangjia Village, almost a whole pig. They were wealthy and bought more.

Some villagers and other people bought the remaining half of the pig, and there were still a few pounds left. Seeing that no one was buying, they just closed the stall.

There was a lot of meat today, so Ning Yan just stewed a big pot of meat, added some dried vegetables in it, and nothing else.

There was nothing to add. They didn't go to pick wild vegetables today, and the dried vegetables were still dried before. Ning Jian picked less than a pound of mushrooms. With so many people, each person picked up a chopstick and they were gone.

But it doesn’t matter how many dishes there are, as long as there is meat to eat.

While Ning Jian was cooking, Bai Lifen cut the remaining meat into pieces, rubbed a lot of salt on the meat, and marinated it for storage. The main purpose was to conceal it from others and give Ning Jian space to store it later.

While eating, Sun Huzi asked Ning Yu, "Xiao boy, who did you learn kung fu from?"

Ning Yu whispered, "I'll tell Brother Sun, but please don't tell anyone else."

"Of course." Sun Huzi responded.

"Brother Huo taught me." Ning Yu said.

Huo?

Sun Huzi raised his eyes to look at Huo Yu, and then said in surprise: "Brother Huo, I can't believe you have this ability?"

This couple usually keeps a low profile and are even a bit lazy. Unexpectedly, one of them can treat illnesses and the other can teach kung fu. They are truly talented people.

Huo smiled but said nothing.

After eating for a while, Sun Huzi asked again: "Brother Huo, are you still accepting disciples?"

"Do you want to learn?" Huo asked.

Sun Huzi chuckled and said, "I want my brother to learn it, but if I can learn it too, I'm naturally willing to follow."

If the young man learns some Kung Fu, he can protect himself in the future. Besides, his brother takes after him and is stronger than other brothers. I believe he will make rapid progress in learning Kung Fu.

"When Huo Yun and the others are practicing in the future, you can let him learn with them. He doesn't need to pay tuition for the time being. Let's see what his aptitude is. If it's possible, let Ning Lu teach him together. You can negotiate the tuition with him." Huo Yun said.

Ning Yu was speechless after hearing this: "Brother Huo, are you just going to quit like this? Are you just going to give me everything?"

"Otherwise, it's not easy to train an apprentice. Now that you have learned a lot, it's time for you to serve me." Huo said without any guilt.

Ning Ruo curled her lips and could only accept her fate. It was her own misfortune. Not only did she have a lazy brother, but she also had a lazy brother-in-law. These two were simply one a Sleeping Dragon and the other a Phoenix Chick, neither of them was much better than the other.

People who have no ambition are terrible. Even if the sky falls, they think it is God showering them.

Oh, it’s so hard to be a younger brother.

Sun Huzi patted Ning Yu on the back and said to him, "I'll leave my brother in your care from now on. It's okay to suffer a little when you're young, so that you won't be bullied when you grow up."

"Okay." Ning Yu said weakly.

Sun Xiaoxi looked at Ning Yu's hopeless expression and couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't easy for Ning Yu's younger brother to do all kinds of work.

After eating, the group continued on their journey.

After getting on the official road, Ning Yan asked, "Brother, do you know where we are going?"

Huo looked around and said, "This should be the road to the city. If we walk faster, we can get into the city before the city gate closes."

Judging from the terrain here, they should be more than 20 kilometers away from the provincial capital. It is almost the afternoon now, and the city gate will be closed at 10:55 am. They only have about two and a half hours to travel.

After walking such a long distance in one go, people will inevitably feel tired and their speed will naturally slow down, so the time is still a bit tight.

Huo Xi then said, "Wife, if you are tired, I will carry you on my back."

"Not for now." Ning Yan said.

"I'm tired, Brother Huo, do you want to carry me on your back?" Ning Lu came over and said in a provocative manner.

"I think you are itching for trouble." Huo? and Ning Gang said in unison.

"Brother, you have changed. You don't love me anymore." Ning Yu accused.

"Don't you see how tall you have grown? You are taller than me, and you still want someone to carry you. How can you be ashamed?" Ning Yan rolled his eyes and said.

Bai Lifen came over and said, "Brother Jian, didn't you guys just go to the mountains to look for a place? Didn't you find it?"

Sun Huzi and the others were there just now, so she didn't dare to ask.

Ning Yan's face instantly fell when he heard this, and then he told him about their experience in the mountains.

After hearing this, Bai Lifen asked in surprise, "Really? Can something explode just by saying one word?"

Ning Yan nodded to indicate that it was true.

"Then fry one and show it to mom." Bai Lifen said.

Ning Yan said speechlessly: "Mom, we are walking now, and there are so many people here."

"That's right." Bai Lifen said regretfully, "Then when you have time, blow one up for me to see."

Ning Yu came over again and said, "Brother, can you aim and blow it up?"

"I really don't know. I haven't tried it." Ning Yan said.

"Then try it next time. Anyway, this thing won't kill people, right? Find a bad guy to try it on and see what effect it has." Ning Yu encouraged.

Ning Yan was speechless when he saw his eager expression. He really just wanted to watch the fun and make trouble.

"Yes, let's see what the effect is." Bai Lifen also agreed.

"Mom, you have changed." Ning Yan said.

I have also learned to watch the fun without thinking it’s a big deal. It wasn’t like this before.

Bai Lifen touched the hair beside her ear embarrassedly and said, "My brothers are so powerful, I can't be a coward. When the time comes, you can find the people who bully us and try it out."

Ning Yan was very pleased to see Bai Lifen's transformation, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll give it a try when the time comes."
