Chapter 3 If you don't give people, give money



"She has a marriage certificate?"

The news brought by the returning Madam Ning San and Madam Ning Si made the originally warm and relaxed living room of Madam Ning Da tense again.

The girl who had always been considered to be troublesome and fussy actually took out the marriage certificate.

With this marriage certificate, a girl can no longer be accused of being unreasonable.

The three girls in the room were obviously surprised as well.

"It must be a fake." Ning Yunyan shouted.

The marriage certificate contained the names of three generations of the man, not to mention Ning Yunzhao's date of birth. Even the Fang family, who were also from Yangcheng, could not find out these things, let alone the Jun family, who were originally from Runan.

Although it was not worth mentioning, in the spirit of knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, when the Fang family, with whom they had no contact for half a year ago, came to their house and said that their son-in-law had an engagement with their family, they immediately inquired about the Jun family.

Your family is from Pingzhang Town, Runan County, Caizhou, Henan Province. Your ancestors have been running a pharmacy for generations. They have been practicing medicine, being kind and charitable, and are quite famous in Pingzhang Town.

However, because of this charity, the Jun family has always been poor and had few descendants. Miss Jun's father, Jun Yingwen, was the only son in three generations. Because he was smart and academically successful since childhood, he did not study medicine but entered the official career.

Jun Yingwen was an honest official who loved his people like his own children. He continued the Jun family's habit of being kind and generous, but he also inherited the Jun family's shortcoming of having difficult offspring. He finally had a daughter, but although his wife Fang took two concubines for him, they were never able to have any more children.

Jun Yingwen's wife, Fang, died of illness when Miss Jun was ten years old. Jun Yingwen did not remarry and took Miss Jun and two concubines with him to take up his post. Unexpectedly, when Miss Jun was thirteen years old, Jun Yingwen died of an acute illness caused by overwork in river repairs. Miss Jun was the only one left in the Jun family.

Old Master Jun had passed away long ago, and Miss Jun had no choice but to come to Yangcheng to live with her maternal grandfather, the Fang family.

How could such a small family that was about to die out have the ability to spy on the Ning family, let alone dare to do the trick of forging a marriage certificate?

Even the wealthy Fang family can't do it.

The three ladies in the room ignored Ning Yunyan's words.

This marriage certificate must be authentic.

"In that case, this is the only way to deal with it." Madam Ning sighed and said, "I'll go talk to mother."

"Even if the marriage certificate is real, you don't necessarily have to recognize this marriage." Ning Yunyan said anxiously, "Who said that you have to get married just because you wrote the marriage certificate? There are many people who gave betrothal gifts but then broke off the engagement. Why should you be afraid of her?"

My mother has a gentle personality and is a good person who is afraid of offending others, but Madam Ning San and Madam Ning Si are not like that. Naturally, Ning Yunyan was talking to them.

"Although Brother Ten is my biological brother, he is also the face of our Ning family. If he has such a marriage, other brothers and sisters will definitely be laughed at. Who would be willing to be a sister-in-law with such a woman?"

This actually refers to the blame on Third Madam Ning and Fourth Madam Ning who were afraid of trouble and ignored Ning Yunzhao because he was not their son.

As a junior, it was too rude for Ning Yunyan to say this, and Madam Ning immediately frowned.

"Yan Yan! Shut up!" she shouted.

Ning Yunyan has always been arrogant, and she just frowned when her mother scolded her.

"I won't stop talking. Why should we be afraid of her? Who is she? She dares to take us away and pretends to want to die. Let her die." She said bitterly, "We are such a big family, and we are afraid of a small ant like her?"

It was not a good look for such a young girl to be so careless and shouting for war. Lady Ning was so angry that she asked her personal maid to drag her away, and then she apologized to Lady Ning San and Lady Ning Si.

"Don't worry about this matter. I will take care of everything." She said decisively.

Madam Ning San and Madam Ning Si stood there without moving. They were neither provoked to anger by Ning Yunyan's words, as they immediately turned around and rushed out to teach that ignorant woman a lesson. Nor were they filled with indignation by Madam Ning Da's concession, as they expressed their determination to see the matter through to the end. They just stood there with strange expressions on their faces.

"Sister-in-law, no, she agreed to cancel the engagement." Mrs. Ning Si said.

Madam Ning was stunned. Ning Yunyan, who was being pulled by the maid, also stopped and was stunned for a moment.

"She agreed to break off the engagement?" Madam Ning couldn't help but ask again, "Is it true?"

"Yes." Madam Ning San nodded, her face still showing the surprise she had when she heard this, and she was a little overwhelmed. "But she has a condition."

condition?

"She must be up to something!" Ning Yunyan shouted, shaking off the maid who was holding her back. "Mother, ignore her."

Madam Ning ignored her.

"What are her conditions?" she asked bluntly.

"Do you know why Old Lady Ning signed the marriage contract with my grandfather?" Miss Jun asked.

She spoke slowly, her voice sounded softer, and it made people feel more relaxed.

The thought flashed through her mind and Mrs. Ning San came to her senses.

How could such a girl be the arrogant, vulgar, ignorant and annoying as Ning Yunyan said? However, Madam Ning San was also relieved. These girls had narrow minds and thought they were the best in the world. Apart from themselves, who were fairies, other girls were demons and monsters.

"Miss Jun, I've already said it, the old lady never mentioned this matter." Mrs. Ning San said.

"You didn't even mention the grace of saving my life?" Miss Jun said, "So this is the kind of person Grandmother Ning is."

Mrs. Ning San choked.

Not mentioning the marriage can be considered as going back on one's word, but not acknowledging the life-saving grace can be considered as being ungrateful.

Madam Ning San and Madam Ning Si naturally did not dare and could not let Old Lady Ning be spoken of in this way.

"My father said more than once before he died that Doctor Jun was a great medical expert and brought him back to life," said Madam Ning Si.

She emphasized the word "medicine" to remind the little girl not to forget that her grandfather was a doctor and that curing illnesses and saving lives was his duty.

"I heard that your family has been practicing medicine for generations. I believe you must have saved countless lives. I wonder how many people have pledged their love to you in return for saving your lives?" Madam Ning San sneered.

Miss Jun smiled.

"I didn't spend much time at home. During the holidays, I would go back to my hometown with my parents. I remember walking on the street. When the villagers heard that I was the granddaughter of Dr. Jun, they were all very friendly to me. Some took out the eggs that their chickens had just laid and gave them to me. Some gave me freshly steamed flower cakes. Some gave me newly made insoles. Some felt that they had nothing to show for it, so they gave me a shy and sincere smile."

Her voice is soft and gentle, slow but not impatient, making people want to listen to her.

"My grandfather treated patients and saved lives. He collected money from those who had money and refused to pay those who didn't. He did this not for rewards, but because he knew it was the duty of a doctor. For those who were cured by him, it was their duty to give money if they had money, and it was also their duty to show gratitude and respect to those who didn't have money."

Are you saying that Old Lady Ning is not doing her duty?

Madam Ning San and Madam Ning Si finally came to their senses and became angry again.

This little girl looks so weak and fragile, how come every word she speaks is full of curse words?

Now they believed Ning Yunyan's description. This Miss Jun was really unpleasant.

"Yes, you should give money when you should give, and you should collect money when you should collect money. The marriage of other people's children is a big event. It's not egg drop cakes and insoles, but a person's life destiny." Mrs. Ning Si said with a sneer.

Miss Jun looked at her.

"Because your old lady didn't give any money," she said.

Madam Ning San and Madam Ning Si were stunned.

"How, how is this possible!" Mrs. Ning Si stammered.

"My grandfather said so himself." Miss Jun said without hesitation, "If you don't have money, then you won't charge me. It was your old lady who insisted that her family had money and that it had been stolen and she would definitely send it back when she got home. My grandfather repeatedly said it was not necessary, but your old lady didn't want to owe anyone a favor. When she learned that my parents had just gotten married, she took the initiative to say that she wanted to marry my children."

Madam Ning San and Madam Ning Si were stunned.

Is this true or false?

Old Mrs. Ning never explained the details of this incident in detail. Could it be that this girl is just making up stories?

But did Old Lady Ning really do such a thing?

Miss Jun reached out and stroked the marriage certificate on the table.

"You guys acknowledge this marriage, and this is the marriage certificate. But since you don't want to acknowledge the marriage certificate and don't want to give your son to me, then it's an IOU." She pushed the marriage certificate forward and pressed two scallion-like fingers on it. "If you don't want to give it to the person, then give the money."

If you don't give money to people, you can give them money?

What does it mean?

"You have repaid the money for saving your life, and I will return the marriage certificate to you. We no longer owe each other anything." Miss Jun said.

Madam Ning San was still a little dazed.

"How much?" she asked subconsciously.

Miss Jun looked up at her with a calm expression.

"Two thousand taels," she said.
