Chapter 104 How did she die?
Soon, Ning Huaizhi drove the ox cart to the yard. Jiang Yuwei directed Ning Chunlin to move all the mulberry bark to the backyard and asked Ning Wu to be responsible for weighing it.
As soon as Chen Guixiang entered the yard, she looked around with a sly look in her eyes. She wished she could live in such a yard and such a big house. Chen Guixiang was just thinking about good things when she saw Ning Daya and Ning Wan cooking in the yard. She asked curiously:
"Daya, it's so late. If you don't go home, aren't you afraid that your grandma will beat you?"
Ning Daya looked up at Chen Guixiang and said with a smile:
"I don't have to go back, I won't have to go back in the future. Sister Yuwei paid me to be a long-term worker."
Chen Guixiang was furious when she heard this:
"Bah! You peasants are wasting money to hire farmhands like the rich families. You don't even look at your own weight! I think you are going crazy just because you have a little spare money! You cheap people just don't know how to live! If you are afraid that the money will grow hairy in your hands, just give it to me for safekeeping! You won't have to spend that money to hire a farmhand who will eat and drink for free and then have to give money to others!"
Jiang Yuwei had just come out of the backyard when she heard Chen Guixiang's unbearable words. She looked at Ning Daya with her head down in embarrassment, stepped forward, patted her shoulder, smiled at her, then stared at Chen Guixiang and said:
"You don't need to worry about our family affairs. I really don't know how you can be so thick-skinned to say that. Tsk tsk, you even keep our money for safekeeping. Have you ever helped us take care of our two children, or given us a penny when we were in the most difficult time? How can you stand here and ask for money all the time?"
Seeing Jiang Yuwei's sharp tongue, Chen Guixiang's face immediately turned red with anger:
"I, how could I not have taken care of your children? When these two ungrateful bastards were young, they ate my food and used my things every day. Didn't I worry less about them? Now you come back and say that I didn't take care of them!"
Jiang Yuwei snorted coldly:
"How dare you say that? Don't think I don't know how your family treats these two children. Don't think that the two children are too young to remember what you did to them! And! You know best how the two children's mother died, and now you come to our courtyard and pretend to be an elder! Bah!"
When Ning Huaizhi heard Jiang Yuwei talking about the biological mother of the two children, his face suddenly darkened. He looked at Chen Guixiang and asked:
"Mother, what did Yuwei mean by that just now? The child's biological mother..."
Before Ning Huaizhi could finish his words, Chen Guixiang interrupted him with a scream:
"How do I know what your wife means by that? I've never seen her talk nonsense about old people like that! How do I know how the children's biological mother died? Her death has nothing to do with me! Don't ask me! You went out to serve in the army for so many years and didn't even come home. The biological mother of the two children died young, and now you blame me!"
After Chen Guixiang finished speaking, she didn't wait for Ning Huaizhi to speak, and directly pulled Ning Chunlin who came out from the backyard and ran out of the yard:
"Why are you standing there like an idiot? You didn't even know how to leave after weighing the bark. You have to stay here and work as a farmhand for others, too!"
Ning Chunlin didn't know why his mother was so angry. He was dragged out by the arm for no apparent reason, and she kept muttering:
"Mom, mom, wait a minute, Sister-in-law Shupi hasn't paid me the extra money yet, why are you in such a hurry..."
Jiang Yuwei watched the two of them leave and instantly felt that the courtyard was finally quiet. Then she turned her head and looked at Ning Daya and smiled:
"Don't worry about what they say. They can't be the masters of my family. Just do your job!"
Ning Daya looked at Jiang Yuwei, nodded gratefully, and continued to cook.
Ning Huaizhi waved to Jiang Yuwei and said:
"Yuwei, come here, I have something to ask you."
Jiang Yuwei walked to Ning Huaizhi, took a bamboo stool and sat down:
"Why? You want to ask me about the mother of my two children?"
Ning Huaizhi looked at Jiang Yuwei and nodded solemnly:
"I, I want to know how she died..."
Jiang Yuwei waved her hand and said:
"To tell you the truth, I don't know either. When I first got married, people in the village also spread rumors to me, but they were not true. However, every time I mentioned this topic, your mother behaved very abnormally. So, I thought she didn't die of illness like your mother said. I saw with my own eyes how her family treated the two children when they first got married. So even if I knew that her death was not normal, I didn't find it strange. After all, your mother could do anything."
Ning Huaizhi's face turned very ugly after hearing what Jiang Yuwei said. He could certainly see that Chen Guixiang was abnormal. He knew that Jiang Yuwei did not lie to him. After all, Chen Guixiang had used those methods on him since he was a child. Because he was the eldest wife, he was not favored, and his wife and children would also suffer humiliation.
What he didn't expect was that Chen Guixiang could actually force the mother of his two children to death. He thought that he had harmed her. He shouldn't have listened to Chen Guixiang and married her. He didn't expect that she would lose her life because of it.
Ning Huaizhi looked at Jiang Yuwei, who looked calm and composed, and suddenly felt a sense of fear. If he had not come back alive from the battlefield, and if Jiang Yuwei was also a woman with a soft temper and a cowardly character, would she have been forced to death by Chen Guixiang? He did not dare to think about it any further.
Ning Huaizhi grabbed Jiang Yuwei's hand and said with red eyes:
"Wife, I'm lucky to have you. No, I'm lucky to have you. Don't worry, I will always stand by your side in the future."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Huaizhi, nodded and said with a smile:
"I hope you can remember what you said today."
Inside Jingli Academy
Ning Zhao and Ning Chen introduced the Yuwei paper to all their close classmates. After seeing that the quality of the paper was very good and the price was very reasonable, they all paid for some. The paper that Ning Zhao brought to the academy was quickly sold out, leaving only a few pieces of paper, which he planned to keep for him and Ning Chen to use for their homework.
"Hey, isn't this Ning Zhao who sells paper everywhere? Are you here to study or to do business?"
A thin scholar blocked Ning Zhao's way, stared at him with disdain and said.
Ning Zhao frowned:
"If you want to buy Yuwei paper, it's sold out now. Wait until next time. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now!"
At this time, a fat boy jumped out and pushed Ning Zhao to the ground. Master Ge, who was blocked behind the fat boy, walked out and stepped on Ning Zhao's face, raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"What? I heard you were selling paper? How dare you, a bunch of country folk, bring something you made to sell in our Jingli Academy?"
