Chen Erni immediately shouted, "Village Chief, that thatched hut is broken. It will cost a lot of money to repair it!"
Village chief Zheng Chuyun immediately raised his eyebrows: "What? You dare to disrespect me?"
"We will definitely repair it, don't worry, Village Chief. We will kneel on the stage tomorrow and repair the land temple the day after tomorrow!"
Fang Zhen immediately agreed loudly.
Fang Zhen is not stupid. If he doesn't pay for the renovation of the land temple, the village chief will have no way to explain to the villagers.
Chen Erni felt heartbroken for a long time, but did not dare to say anything.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I don't know how to feel about you. It was you who dug up mother's grave and didn't bury it properly, which led to wild wolves attacking the village. You are really disappointing!" Fang Gehua immediately said harshly.
Fang Baihan said, "Rebellious grandsons! Two rebellious sons!"
Fang Hu immediately shook his head: "Go out and kneel down!"
"Fang Zhen, go kneel down on the stage now!" the village chief said in a cold voice.
Fang Zhen immediately freaked out and said, "Village Chief, can't you kneel again tomorrow?"
"No, what you did is outrageous to both heaven and man! Just tonight you can let your dead mother see your character!" said the village chief unhappily.
Afterwards, Fang Zhen and Chen Erni came to the stage accompanied by the village chief and villagers.
"Fang Zhen and Chen Erni will kneel here until dark tomorrow!" The village chief gave an order, and Fang Zhen and Chen Erni knelt there.
Immediately, many people who were injured in the fight with the wolves took rotten vegetable leaves and salty, stinky eggs and threw them at Fang Zhen and Chen Erni's bodies and faces.
In the second half of the night, there was no villager around the arena. "Brother Zhen, I feel so cold!" Chen Erni immediately squeezed closer to Fang Zhen.
Fang Zhen said unhappily, "Don't squeeze me! You smell like rotten eggs!"
At this moment, Fang Zhen faintly heard a voice: "Zhen'er~! Zhen'er~!"
Fang Zhen immediately grabbed Chen Erni's hand and said, "Listen, someone is calling my name from somewhere?"
"Brother Zhen, where is anyone? It's so dark everywhere that I can't even see my fingers."
As soon as Chen Erni's two hands appeared in front of Fang Zhen, Fang Zhen screamed in shock: "Ah! Whose hand is this!"
Fang Zhen was so frightened that he fell down on the dark stage.
"Brother Zhen! Brother Zhen!" Chen Erni immediately called out a few times, then went downstairs and helped Fang Zhen back home.
But Fang Zhen was frightened out of his wits because the hand he held just now was not Chen Erni's.
After waking up the next night, she said, "Er Ni, Er Ni, don't leave me, come and stay with me!"
Chen Erni felt as sweet as drinking honey at this moment. She had never heard Fang Zhen need her so much as at this moment.
The next morning, Fang Zhen went to the land temple early to burn incense and pray for peace, and then went up to the thatched house to repair it himself.
Seeing that Fang Zhen had changed his behavior and mentality, the village chief did not make things difficult for him anymore.
Ning Xiaotang was still wondering why Fang Zhen was so obedient. It seemed Fang Zhen wasn't such a bad person.
Night House
"Ye Jingxiao, your drawing is so ugly. You even drew my mouth eating. How can that look good?" Ning Xiaotang yelled angrily.
"Tangtang, your voice is too loud. My ears can't stand it." Ye Jingxiao couldn't bear his laughter and drew Ning Xiaotang eating. It was a picture of her eating meat with big mouthfuls!
It's so terrible that I can't even look at it.
"No, you're going to destroy this painting. It's too ugly. I don't want a painting like this!" Ning Xiaotang tilted her head angrily.
"Then what kind of painting do you want? You can't sit still for a long time. I need to paint this portrait slowly to make it look good. You're eating, lying on the couch, and letting the maid rub your legs. I don't know what to paint."
"Humph! You're not supposed to draw someone rubbing their legs? Why do you have to draw someone eating? Are you going to let me live? If I show this picture to everyone, who will dare to hire me in the future?"
"Others don't want it, but I do!" Ye Jingxiao started painting again.
Ning Xiaotang glared at him sideways: "Humph! If you don't draw well soon, I'll make you regret coming to this village!"
Half an hour later, Ning Xiaotang chased Ye Jingxiao on the path in the courtyard of Ye's house and beat him madly with her small shoes.
Ye Jingxiao's face was filled with helplessness. It was the first time that he was beaten with a small embroidered shoe. It felt like he had to secretly laugh like a pig while being beaten.
"Miss, Miss, a matchmaker has come to the Ning residence. It seems that he is here to propose a marriage for the fourth master." Quan Yue immediately appeared and interrupted Ning Xiaotang's evil behavior.
"Did he say what kind of girl she was?" Ning Xiaotang immediately put on her own shoes and took a deep breath.
"My dear, the matchmaker is drinking tea in the old lady's main hall right now. Would you like to go over and take a look? Is there a picture album of the girl the matchmaker mentioned?"
"Okay, I'll go take a look. If a girl is ugly, she can't enter my Ning residence!"
Soon Ning Xiaotang entered Luo Xiangqin's main hall: "Grandpa and grandma are doing well!"
"Tangtang, come and sit down! Take a look at this girl. Do you like her?" Luo Xiangqin immediately handed the album to Ning Xiaotang.
Ning Xiaotang immediately asked, "Is this the only album for this person?"
The matchmaker immediately thought to herself, "Ah, this little girl is quite good at judging people's appearances. It's really hard to recommend someone with such a low-class family background."
"Well, there is another girl here from Shuihe Town. The betrothal gift may be relatively much higher!" The matchmaker immediately made it clear.
"Don't worry about the betrothal gifts. The main thing is to see the girl's character and appearance!" Ning Xiaotang closed the album that the matchmaker had given her.
When the matchmaker heard that Shuihe Town wanted a large betrothal gift, Ning Xiaotang said that it didn't matter. It seemed that the Ning family was preparing for a good marriage.
The matchmaker immediately pulled out a photo album of a young lady from her collection and said, "This is the girl from the Liu family in Shuihe Town, her name is Liu He!"
Ning Xiaotang immediately stretched out her little hand and took the photo album from the matchmaker.
"Hey, this girl is already seventeen!" Ning Xiaotang immediately noticed her age.
The matchmaker immediately smiled: "This Liuhe girl is a person with very high standards. She is not willing to propose marriage to ordinary young men at all.
This time I sincerely wanted to recommend a good family to Miss Liu, so I came to Ning's house to make the proposal.
Liu He heard that he was the fourth master of the Ning family, so she was willing to entrust the photo album to me."
Ning Xiaotang looked at Xiang Liuhe's appearance. He was dignified and elegant, with clear eyes.
"Grandma, arrange for Fourth Uncle to marry this young lady from the Liu family, Liu He. Although she is only seventeen years old, she is a match made in heaven for Fourth Uncle. If it is this young lady Liu, she and Fourth Uncle will surely be a harmonious couple and a loving couple."
Luo Xiangqin originally thought Liu He was too old. "She's already seventeen and still unmarried. There aren't many girls like her. Why does Tangtang think Liu He and Le Guo are a match made in heaven?"
