Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 227 Don’t Be a Male Wife (6)

what happened?

Of course Ning Ning had also heard rumors about bandits. Could it be that the bandits had already fled into the town?

His eyes were slightly fierce, and he suddenly dodged into an empty alley next to him.

The person who was following behind him noticed that he had lost his sight and suddenly became anxious. He ran over quickly, but he was unable to stop and was grabbed by Ning Ning and pulled into the alley.

"What are you following me for?"

The man was still in shock, but when he saw that it was Ning Ning who caught him, he took two deep breaths and tried to calm down, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person!"

Ning Ning: ...Who of us is afraid?

The man looked Ning Ning up and down and smiled. "Did you really make the shampoo powder? You are so young, I thought the shopkeeper was deliberately deceiving me. I have something to discuss with you. I live in the next town, and I want to sell the shampoo powder you have. What do you think?"

Ning Ning: ...So you want to be a dealer!

He looked at the other person, who was dressed just like an ordinary person. When he noticed his inquiring gaze, he straightened his chest and tried his best to make Ning Ning feel that he could be trusted.

In fact, Ning Ning didn't care. If she wanted to get the goods from him, she had to pay first and then get the goods, so he was not afraid of him defaulting on his payment.

If you really can't sell all the goods, you can return them as long as they are not damaged. However, the shampoo powder is selling well, there is no such thing as not being able to sell all the goods, only not enough to sell.

After this person took the lead, other people found Ning Ning and wanted to buy goods from him to sell.

However, not everyone agrees with Ning Ning. If someone in this place has already purchased goods from him, he will not sell it to a second person.

Otherwise, if there are two people selling his things in one place, disputes are inevitable.

As a result, those who have already purchased goods from him are very satisfied and are more enthusiastic about selling them.

Those who are still hesitating dare not wait and see, for fear of being overtaken by others.

More and more people came to buy goods, and Ning Ning saw that the business was better, so she discussed with Song Ruoniang and wanted to move to the town.

Although most of his money was tied up in goods and was not enough to buy a house, he could rent a yard first so that he wouldn't have to run back and forth between the village and the town.

Moreover, he and Song Ruoniang are too busy now. There are many people in the town, so they can hire a few people to help.

Song Ruoniang adheres to the practice of women in the past, that is, after the husband's death, one must obey the son. Of course, Ning Mancang is not dead yet, but they have divorced and are no longer her husband, so she naturally listens to Ning Ning.

Besides, what Ning Ning said made sense, and going to town was a good thing, so she had no reason to disagree.

After the separation, she had a brief period of confusion and fear.

Life in the Ning family was not easy. Ning Mancang only knew how to revolve around Li, while Li was picky and made things difficult for her. But then again, she was familiar with the difficult days after all.

Once you become familiar with something, it won't be so scary anymore.

The most terrifying thing is actually the unknown and the unfamiliar!

The days away from the Ning family were completely unfamiliar to her!

Especially, there is not another woman like her who took the initiative to divorce and live with her son in the area.

At this point, she should be thankful that there weren't many people in her family. Otherwise, according to her family's temper, not only would they not agree to her divorce, they would also have to persuade her to live a good life with Ning Mancang and not do anything out of line.

Therefore, if the Ning family had not been too excessive and forced her to live, she would not have thought of divorce and leaving with Ning Ning.

Fortunately, the fear of unfamiliarity lasted too short a time. Soon after, she began to worry that Ning Ning would suffer, and later she followed Ning Ning to work together.

When people are busy, they don’t have time to think so much.

The days that followed seemed to be getting better and better. She was just glad to have left the Ning family, that den of tigers and wolves, and she was no longer afraid at all.

……

More than a month later, a horse-drawn carriage stopped unsteadily at the entrance of the village. Ning Mancang climbed down first, then turned around to support Ning Zhu.

The villagers were just wondering what this was all about when Ning Mancang straightened his back, puffed out his belly, and shouted to them, "My Ning Zhu passed the imperial examination! What a great event! Ning Zhu passed the imperial examination!"

He walked in front, clearing the way for Ning Zhu, shouting as he walked, and returned to the Ning family.

Everyone in the village looked confused and stared at them as if they were watching a monkey show, which made Ning Zhu very dissatisfied.

The scene he had imagined, where everyone congratulated him and flattered him with smiling faces, did not happen. Oh, he is so dull and cannot please others. There is nothing he can do about it. This is what happens because he has not received any education!

He thought that his status was different now and he could not afford to be on the same level as these people, so he just frowned slightly to show his dissatisfaction.

They returned to the Ning family and talked about something, but laughter and joy were immediately heard from the Ning family, and Li's shrill voice could be heard from far away.

Then they opened the courtyard gate, swept the floor and poured water. Ning Lai Fu happily went to the town to buy red paper firecrackers, rice, flour, meat and wine.

He bared his teeth at everyone he met, completely discarding his previous hapless look, and no matter who spoke to him, he would always mention the fact that Ning Zhu had passed the imperial examination and became a scholar.

The villagers were talking about it, "Oh, look at how arrogant they are, did they really pass the exam?"

"I think it's probably true. How can you lie about something like this?"

"Don't just listen to what they say. Wait for me to go out and take a look."

"Well, if he really passes the exam, and our village has a scholar, won't that bring any benefits?"

"Don't dream. Have you forgotten the nature of this family? They can harm even their closest relatives, let alone you and me! In my opinion, if he becomes successful, we will be in trouble!"

After a while, the person who came to inquire about the news came back, and this time Ning Zhu really passed the exam.

Because it was a mess outside, many students were afraid of losing their lives and didn't go to take the exam.

Ning Zhu's essay was well-written, with neither merits nor faults. In the past, he would probably not have passed the exam.

But since there were so few people going back this time, he was awarded the title of scholar.

No matter how he got this honor, since he was already a scholar, people would be jealous of him.

The clan leader brought several clan elders to congratulate, and several families changed their minds and took the initiative to come and help.

Li was very proud and ordered them to prepare a banquet to entertain the clan leader and elders. She also kept praising Ning Zhu, implying that the Ning family would have to rely on Ning Zhu in the future.

Her words were really unpleasant to hear, but the clan leader and several elders did not confront her, but dealt with the matter in a controlled manner.

The villagers stopped causing trouble for them, and even Ning Lai Fu's boss softened his attitude and stopped forcing him to pay back his debts. He even said that if he wanted, he could come back and continue to work as his apprentice.

Merchants are the most shrewd. People do not fight with officials. What if Ning Zhu can pass the exam?

It’s better to leave some room for each other so that we can meet again in the future!

But Ning Lai Fu considered himself the father of a future government official and was too disdainful to be a clerk.

Even so, Ning Zhu was still very dissatisfied. The most that everyone showed was to keep their distance. Even those who came to help in those few days stopped coming after seeing that there was no profit to be made.

The scene he imagined, where everyone was fawning on him, did not appear at all.

Li was also not satisfied. It had been several days and not even a matchmaker came to her door!

Although she no longer likes the country girl, it is okay to let her comment on her and then reject her!

So, she was unhappy and found fault with Ning Mancang and scolded him several times, but she still couldn't feel satisfied. Then she thought of Ning Ning.

By the way, Ning Zhu has passed the exam, but she hasn’t settled the score with this mother and son yet!
