“That’s right, that’s right. It’s a pity that we’re all refugees and don’t have title deeds or anything. Otherwise, I would have won even more!”

Second Uncle Ning, who was squatting on the road pretending to tidy up his pants, narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

However, he did not know that the two “refugees” had suddenly disappeared after taking a few turns in the village.

After returning to the old residence, Second Uncle Ning rolled around for the entire night and could not sleep. The next day, when the villagers were in high spirits, working in the fields or fishing in the river, he took advantage of his parents’ absence to enter their house. After coming out, he wandered to the county.

Yun Er went to the county office to report to his master when he saw Second Uncle Ning go to the pawnshop and brokerage. There was no pity on Rong Yan’s thin face. “Let him be happy first, then…”

Second Uncle Ning felt that gambling depended on luck. When luck came, there was no stopping it. For example, today, he would boldly bet more every time. Sigh, he could win. He only lost money at all the small games. What did this mean? It meant that he had to let go more and open his hands to receive the blessings from the heavens!

“Aye, Big or Small. Place your bet now!”

Second Uncle Ning gritted his teeth and bet more than half of the money in his hand.

“One, two, three, small!”

Second Uncle Ning was so excited that he was trembling. He won! He won!

This one was at least a hundred taels of silver!

However, he was a little hesitant now. Should he continue to win or stop just like that?

At this moment, someone muttered softly in his ear, “We’ve finally made it. As the saying goes, nine out of ten gambles are scammed. This casino specializes in scamming poor people like us! How much silver have I lost to them!”

Second Uncle Ning agreed. He retracted his hand and started to pack up the silver. However, he heard the same voice again. “Fortunately, that old bastard who shook the dice today wasn’t around and they replaced him with a newbie who’s still wet behind the ears. This kid’s skills aren’t mature enough and he can’t control the number he shakes out at all. I’m prepared to take advantage of today to win to my heart’s content!”

“That’s right. I’m the same. There won’t be such a shop after this village. I’ll be scammed if I come again in the future!”

Second Uncle Ning’s hand stopped again. He turned to look at the young man who was shaking the dice in confusion.

Indeed, it was rare to see such a young dealer in the gambling house. Young people were inexperienced and could not control the situation.

He already believed 80% of the conversation between the two of them just now. He secretly glanced at the dealer’s expression and realized that he was indeed in a difficult position. His forehead even began to sweat.

How could he still want to leave now? Whoever left would be stupid!

Seeing that Second Uncle Ning had sat down again, the two people, who had been by his side for two days, got into the crowd and disappeared in a few moments.

Second Uncle Ning had disappeared from the house for an entire day, but the old residence was not worried. When had he not been strolling outside these few days?

There was a lot of work to do at home. Old Madam Ning was flustered, but no one came to help her.

Second Aunt Ning said that her stomach was not feeling good. She lay on the bed and cried out. She definitely could not get up to take over.

It was even more impossible for Little Aunt Ning and Little Uncle Ning to help out.

When the former found out that the Zhao Family had rejected her marriage proposal, she cried every day. Second Aunt Ning’s head hurt along with her stomach. However, although she cried, she didn’t really court death. She didn’t even miss a meal.

Little Uncle Ning talked about studying all day long. At the mention of work, he would talk about “a gentleman stays away from the kitchen”, “nothing is more important than studying”, and “it’s inauspicious to hold a broom”. It was as if doing chores at home could embarrass him, a “scholar”.

As for Old Sir Ning, he took care of almost all the work in the fields. He could not even straighten his back when he returned home.

It was only then that they remembered the good of the eldest branch. However, the “thoughts” were not her appreciation.

“Those ingrates from the eldest branch. We raised him, but they don’t know how to care about our relationship at all!”

“I raised him up. Now, they just watch the two of us busy ourselves while they live well in their new house!”

“He opened a shop, but you don’t know how to help his brothers!”

“Pfft! You b*stard who’s been struck by lightning! Little b*stard! When our Fengwen becomes an official in the future, he’ll be the first to confiscate their homes!”

Then, she started to think. How rich was the eldest branch now? After confiscating the house, would the money and house belong to their old residence?

However, she did not think about what the “relationship” between the old residence and the eldest branch was.

It was lying, bullying, oppression, and matters that almost destroyed their family!

Old Madam Ning did not feel that her words were untenable at all. The more she scolded him, the more she felt that she made sense. She actually became more energetic at work.

Xiaoxiao and her family, who had been slandered behind their backs, were surrounding the paddy field and jumping around.

Today, the milk tea shop was closed for the day. As it had just entered July, the Ning Family’s rice fields were all hung with ears. The golden rice ears were especially dazzling in the fields that were still yellow and green.

The villagers who came to work in the fields praised Ning Fengnian enviously. The latter smiled radiantly. “It’s all thanks to the heavens. Qiuniang and the children have also worked hard.”

After checking the fullness of the rice for the last time, Ning Fengnian straightened his back and said firmly, “Drain the water!”

Before the rice was harvested, they had to drain the water in the rice field and harden the soil. This was beneficial to the harvest in the field and the return of the grains to the warehouse. It was also convenient to enter the next round of farming after harvesting the rice. However, while draining the water, Xiaoxiao rubbed her palms together and called out to her second brother, “Let’s go catch green prawns!”

In ancient times, the word “dragon” could not be used casually, so crayfish could not be called crayfish©. They could only be called green prawns.

It didn’t matter what the name was. Xiaoxiao had already minced the garlic!

Ning Anhui frowned. “You asked me to close the shop and rest for a day just for this?”

Xiaoxiao winked at him. “Second Brother, do you believe that I can also sell green prawns?”

Ning Anhui immediately felt energized. He grabbed a prawn in each hand and enjoyed the catching process.

The villagers were very curious. “Xiaoxiao, why are you catching this monster prawn?”

The crayfish was much bigger than ordinary river prawns, which was what the villagers called it. Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “We call it the green prawn and are preparing to catch it and cook it! This thing is delicious!”

The villagers were shocked. They thought to themselves that the Ning Family had been used to living a hard life in the past. Could it be that they still couldn’t change their habit of eating everything they saw? This thing looked scary. How did it look edible?

They could only remind them tactfully, “Don’t. Don’t make yourselves sick, all right?”

Xiaoxiao raised her big face. “Uncles and aunties, don’t worry. I’ve already taken this green prawn to a particularly famous doctor with especially good medical skills. It’s completely edible. Moreover, there were many ‘good people’ who volunteered to try it before today. Now, they don’t feel uncomfortable and they don’t have diarrhea or vomit. They’re in good spirits. They’re thinking about this prawn every day.”

Really?
