However, Ning Huan did not tell Zhou Jing'an what she was thinking to his face.
Let the man say whatever he wants. Anyway, if any of the little ones follow him and don't learn good habits, she'll just bring them back.
Seeing that Ning Huan was still not in high spirits, Zhou Jing'an didn't say anything more and turned to go back to Ning Liang's room to rest.
Inside the room, four little ones were lying neatly, waiting for Ning Huan to tell them a bedtime story.
Ning Huan had just told the little ones a story when she realized they were already fast asleep. After such a long and bumpy day, the little ones must be tired.
Ning Huan yawned and went to sleep.
The next morning, Ning Huan got up and helped the four little ones wash up, while the third child felt a little guilty thinking about what he had told his grandmother the day before.
After washing them all up, Da Bao and the others left, leaving only Xiao San Bao alone.
The little boy approached Ning Huan, but Ning Huan ignored him and turned to leave on her own.
Little Sanbao quickly called out to Ning Huan, "Mom!"
Ning Huan wasn't unaware that Xiao Sanbao was calling her, but she was angry because she was thinking about what happened to Pang Shi last night and didn't want to talk to the little dumpling.
Seeing that her mother was ignoring her, the little boy was extremely sad. He called out several times, but Ning Huan didn't respond, and now his eyes were red.
He knew that his mother must know he had done something wrong yesterday, and that she was deliberately ignoring him today because she was angry.
Thinking of this, Xiao Sanbao quickly said, "Mom, I know I was wrong."
When Ning Huan heard that Xiao Sanbao had admitted his mistake, she turned around and looked at him, asking, "Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"
Little Sanbao lowered his head in grievance and whispered, "Yesterday, in order to show off to Grandma, I told her about how you and Daddy were going to get a divorce."
Hearing this, Ning Huan nodded. This little rascal knew he had made a mistake.
He looked up and saw that Ning Huan didn't seem particularly angry, so he quickly rushed over and hugged her leg: "Mother, I really know I was wrong, I will never do it again."
Although Ning Huan scolded Xiao Sanbao, she wasn't really angry, but she still needed to teach him a lesson.
She pretended to be serious and said to the three boys, "We're boys, we can't talk like that, understand?"
"No matter the reason or who you're talking to, you can't gossip like that. When you grow up, will you be a gossipmonger or an upright gentleman?"
Without a second thought, Xiao Sanbao said, "I want to be an upright gentleman. I'm a real man, I won't be a gossip!"
Ning Huan nodded in satisfaction and replied, "Since you've said so, then let it go this time. But don't spread rumors like this again."
Little Sanbao replied, "I understand, Mother. I promise I will never do that again, and I promise I will never talk nonsense again."
Ning Huan patted his little head: "Alright, since you know you were wrong and have admitted it, then it's okay. Go play now."
Hearing this, Xiao Sanbao felt relieved and ran off to play with Da Bao, Xiao Er Bao, and Xiao Si Bao.
Pang hurriedly got up to make breakfast for the whole family, only to find that Ning Huan had already prepared porridge, side dishes, steamed buns, dumplings, and wontons.
Since she arrived yesterday, Madam Pang has been busy non-stop. Although Madam Kang only helped out, she was also extremely busy.
They already had a liquor business to run, and with the added responsibility of taking care of Ning Huan's entire family, they were even busier than before.
So Ning Huan decided to get up early to make breakfast for Pang and the others.
When Pang saw that Ning Huan had prepared such a large breakfast, she said to Ning Huan with a hint of reproach, "You child, you're still so diligent even after returning to your parents' home. I could have just left it to you. There's no need for you to get up so early to cook."
Ning Huan said with a smile, "I got up early because I wanted to make breakfast for my family. Otherwise, I would feel bad making my mother work so hard."
Mrs. Pang tapped her head: "What are you saying? Why should you feel bad about going back to your own home?"
Although Pang made a few sarcastic remarks, he didn't mean anything by it. Ning Huan's breakfast was simply impeccable.
When Ning Xu and Madam Kang saw it, they were very surprised: "Sister, did you make this breakfast?"
Although Ning Liang had stayed at Ning Huan's house before and knew Ning Huan's cooking skills, he still couldn't help but swallow hard when he saw such a sumptuous breakfast again.
His sister is an absolutely amazing cook.
After breakfast, Ning Huan pushed Zhou Jing'an in a stroller to sunbathe in the yard. Remembering that she hadn't told Zhou Jing'an about her decision to take Ning Liang to town, she quickly said, "Oh right, there's something I forgot to tell you."
“Yesterday Ningliang said he wanted to go out and make his way in the world and wanted to try following me. I plan to have him come with me to town to work as a housekeeper and take care of the four little ones for the time being.”
"As for what comes next, I will arrange other things for Ning Liang to do after the little ones go to the academy."
Zhou Jing'an had no objections. Ning Liang was Ning Huan's younger brother, his brother-in-law, so helping him out wouldn't be a problem. Thinking of this, he nodded: "I have no objections."
Ning Liang, who was drying shepherd's purse nearby, breathed a sigh of relief. His sister had agreed, and his brother-in-law had no objections, so he was sure he could go to town with Ning Huan this time.
Ning Liang smiled happily and said to Zhou Jing'an, "Brother-in-law, thank you."
Zhou Jing'an paused for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Why are you thanking me? You went to town to help us take care of the four little ones. I should be thanking you. Consider this a favor I owe you."
Hearing this, Ning Liang quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, brother-in-law, how could you owe me a favor? I chose to follow my sister myself. My sister is capable and will definitely be very powerful in the future."
“My brother-in-law is also very capable. I’m lucky to be able to work with you two, and I’m sure I’ll benefit from it in the future.”
Zhou Jing'an did not object to Ning Liang's statement. Both Ning Liang and he himself believed that Ning Huan would be a very capable person in the future.
So if Ning Liang really wants to venture out into the world, then following Ning Huan is definitely the right thing to do.
Just as the group was chatting, a number of villagers craned their necks to look into the courtyard at the Ning family's gate.
Yesterday, upon hearing that Zhou Jing'an was coming, these villagers all wanted to see what this legendary figure looked like.
Yesterday, only three tables were set up at Pang's house. Only the village chief and a few relatives of the Ning family who were considered senior in terms of seniority could sit there. Others had no chance to come and eat.
So they should take this opportunity to get a good look at Zhou Jing'an.
