Ma Xiaomai announced that Ah Man had guessed correctly. Ah Man cheered and his mood suddenly brightened up.
Dabao looked calm. He had heard everything from the east room yesterday when Jian Ning called Erniu into her room to reason with her. Ah Man was a guest at their house, and he was a boy, the older brother of the girls, so he should set a good example.
Be more considerate to Ah Man and make her happy. This will also make her less worried. Why not do it?
He silently took half an egg from his own hen and ate it leisurely. Seeing him like this, Ding Youtian wondered what he didn't understand. This kid seemed to have the same mindset as himself. He slowly narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with an amusement-filled smile.
After breakfast, Jian Ning thought that she needed to make some arrangements at home, so she decided to go to town later. She sent Dabao to the village entrance to wait for the ox cart, and Ding Youtian followed.
As they arrived at the village entrance, the village chief arrived in an ox cart. In the cart sat several villagers who were going to the town to sell game and live poultry. When they saw the family of three, they greeted them warmly.
Mainly exaggerating the treasure.
No matter what compliments Dabao received, he accepted them all without being arrogant or impatient. He politely bowed and thanked them one by one.
Gao also hurried over with Ding Gui and Ding Quan. The village head would send the seven children from the village to study in the town together in the morning.
The village head told Ding Youtian and Jian Ning that everyone had been arranged and the clan leader would lead them over soon.
The two thanked the village head, and the three of them were all smiling. However, the brothers Ding Gui and Ding Quan looked unhappy. Meng had been thrown into the woodshed near their house, and she had been yelling and scolding them for most of the night, keeping them awake. They wanted to go see their grandmother early in the morning, but Gao wouldn't let them, which made them feel a little unhappy.
After all, grandma really loves them.
Seeing Jian Ning and Ding Youtian, Ding Gui suddenly launched into a rage at his mother, Gao, for some unknown reason: "You're so happy now. Grandma fell and couldn't get out of bed, and Grandpa even sent her to live in the firewood shed. Grandpa didn't pay Grandma to hire a doctor to prescribe medicine, and you didn't care about her. When my brother and I grow up, we won't care about you either!"
Gao slapped him on the head and said, "I sent you to school, but you've already gone too far. You can't even figure out who your mother is and who truly treats you well, right?"
"Mr. San's family, did the cow offend you? If you want to scold the child, just scold the child, but why did you take my cow with you?" The head of the village was unhappy and said with a sullen face.
Gao was resentful towards the head of the village, blaming him for not speaking in their favor yesterday. Upon hearing this, she did not argue, but just flicked her handkerchief and walked away with her head held high.
After the village head drove the ox cart with Dabao and the others away, Ding Youtian hesitated for a moment and asked Jian Ning for one tael of silver. He didn't say what he wanted the silver for, and Jian Ning didn't ask. He returned home and immediately took out two taels of silver and gave it to him.
Jian Ning was quite satisfied with Ding Youtian's attitude towards Old Ding's family yesterday. Although Meng deserved it, Jian Xiu'gu grew up eating their food, so two taels of silver was more than enough.
"Don't forget the pain after the wound has healed. Don't let her know that you were behind her. Brother Thomas, give the silver to Lao Liu and ask him to come back and take her to the Puren Hall in town. Taigong is an expert in treating injuries."
Ding Youtian said nothing, took the silver, bowed deeply to Jian Ning, turned around and hurried to the intersection to wait for Ma Fuquan.
No matter what, Meng was his mother after all. The severance letter only legally restricted them from quarreling again, but blood ties could not be severed by a severance letter.
In the yard, Cui Gu arrived early and was chatting with Da Niu and the others. Ah Man was playing with Mao Qiu nearby, but Mao Qiu ignored her. Seeing Jian Ning coming out, he glanced over and the little guy hurriedly wagged his tail and licked Ah Man's shoes. Ah Man was so happy that he picked him up and Mao Qiu kept crying.
Cui Gu saw Jian Ning and came forward with a smile. Jian Ning said hello to her and went back to work. The dishes in the dining hall had not been cleared away yet, and Cui Gu sat on the porch and chatted with Da Niu and the others, waiting to be assigned work.
This is the difference between Cui Gu and Tian and Chang. When they first came to work, they knew to find other work to do before Jian Ning assigned them any tasks.
However, Jian Ning offered Tian and Chang a higher wage than Cui Gu. It was understandable that Cui Gu should do as much work as she was paid. It was the right thing to do, but she still felt uncomfortable. After all, she wasn't perfect and had her share of human flaws. All she could do was adjust her mindset. As long as Cui Gu did her job well, she wouldn't give her any trouble.
Jian Ning finished cleaning up the kitchen when Master Ding Sanye and his son, along with the Tian and Chang families, arrived. Master Ding Sanye told Jian Ning, "The clan has arranged for people to carry stones. My eldest brother said we'll build a clinic next to your old house. The people who build the clinic won't have to worry about food. You just need to provide lunch for the people digging the cellar."
"Are the stones being carried to tamp the foundation of the clinic?" Jian Ning asked casually.
Mr. Ding Sanye smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Yes, you understand this too, amazing."
In his previous life, when the special police force was stationed in the border area, Jane Ning saw local residents string ropes on stones with holes in them. Everyone worked together to pull the ropes tight, lift the stones and throw them up. The stones fell and hit the ground heavily. This had to be repeated several times before the foundation could be consolidated.
"I've seen it," she laughed.
"Yes, when Ding Erdan built his new house, you hadn't married the fourth brother yet." Master Ding San thought of Jian Xiu'gu back then, and couldn't help feeling emotional. Who would have thought that the girl who didn't dare to look people in the eye before would actually be a female healer!
"Uncle San, when the people arrive and we sort out the household affairs, you can come with us to town. We need to buy a carriage today, and you can help us choose one. We are young and don't know how to choose a horse, so you have to come forward."
"Okay, since you hired me to drive the carriage, it's my job to buy one. I'll take the carriage to pick up Dabao and the others from school in the evening and make sure they're brought back safely."
