Zhao Qing's first operation ended in failure. For her, it was an immense humiliation.
Ning Anping, however, was more cunning, making Ning Hong receive red dates every day. Since Zhao Qing could so heartlessly throw away the red dates back then, she naturally wouldn't want to retrieve them now, unless she had some other scheme.
He was worried that if he wasn't careful, Zhao Qing would secretly take his red dates away.
Zhao Qing had indeed considered this idea. Since Ning Hongzao was unwilling to leave with her, she might as well take her with her. Once they arrived in Beijing and saw its prosperity, Ning Hongzao would naturally not want to return.
Her idea was quite good, but the problem was that Ning Anping didn't intend to give her that opportunity.
She spent a month in the city, and apart from that one successful meeting with Ning Hongzao, she never saw Ning Hongzao again.
Helpless, she sent a letter back, explaining everything that had happened.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with Ning Hongzao, but rather that Ning Hongzao was unwilling, and even the Ning family members disagreed with her taking Ning Hongzao away.
Most importantly, she discovered that the Ning family did not appear to be impoverished.
She had already inquired and found out that it was her brother who picked up Ning Hongzao every day on a motorcycle.
Where did the red date get its brother?
When she finally found out the brother's name, she realized what had happened.
Ning Hongze, isn't that Ning Anli's son?
Unexpectedly, Ning Anli's son is quite outstanding.
They're even using motorcycles now. You know, these days, owning a bicycle is quite a luxury, let alone a motorcycle. Of course, Zhao Qing isn't envious, after all, Han Weiguo has a high military rank, and she always has a car.
"Mom, you must be getting impatient, let's go eat."
As she came out of the school, the first thing she saw was her mother standing there. Compared to the other mothers at school, her mother was so beautiful, young, and fashionable, which made her feel very proud.
She couldn't hide her smile, especially when she heard others praising her mother.
"Mom, why did you come all of a sudden?"
"I missed you. By the way, do you have something to take care of?"
"Is something the matter? What is it? Can I help you?"
“Ningxin, your mother has never hidden it from you. When your mother was sent down here, she married a man.”
Zhao Qing brought up the matter with an embarrassed expression, and sure enough, Han Ningxin's expression changed as soon as she started to mention it.
"You didn't come here specifically to see that man, did you?"
Han Ningxin knew about this matter; her grandmother had mentioned it long ago. However, her maternal grandmother said that her mother was forced into it.
"Of course not. There's something I don't know how to tell you."
Zhao Qing sighed again. Business at the state-run restaurant wasn't very good today; she and Ning Xin were the only two customers in the entire restaurant.
The food was served very quickly.
Unfortunately, neither of them seemed to have much of an appetite at the moment.
"Mom, what exactly happened?"
"Mom has found the child from back then, your sister."
"What?"
"My sister? You want me to acknowledge a country bumpkin as my sister? I don't want to." Han Ningxin turned her head away, refusing to comply no matter what. She never imagined that Ning Hongzao would actually be her sister.
"Ningxin, listen to me. This matter is very important; it concerns your future happiness."
"Mom, is it really that serious that I don't acknowledge this sister?"
Seeing Han Ningxin's disdainful look, Zhao Qing couldn't help but grab her hand. "Let me tell you, it's really serious."
After thinking for a moment, she told him about the Peng family's situation.
“Your father definitely wants a marriage alliance. A marriage alliance with the Peng family would be extremely beneficial to our family. If we can’t send Ning Hongzao to marry in her place, then it will be you who gets married.”
"The Peng family's son is an idiot."
Han Ningxin suddenly stood up.
"You want me to marry a fool?"
"I've come up with a solution, haven't I? Of course, if they really don't want to, we certainly can't force them."
"The Peng family?"
"It's alright. Your father is also planning to retire. From now on, our family can be reunited."
"How can that be?" Han Ningxin slammed her hand on the table again, finally understanding Zhao Qing's thoughts. The Han family's foundation was too weak. If they were to fall out with the Peng family, the Han family would be finished.
Therefore, a marriage alliance is inevitable, but that person definitely cannot be her.
She's a graduate of a prestigious university with a bright future ahead of her; how could she possibly marry such a fool?
Therefore, we must recognize Ning Hongzao and let her go to Beijing with them.
What is your relationship with Ning Hongzao?
"It's terrible." Come to think of it, she still keeps that dress in her dorm room.
"Mom originally wanted to keep her with a good life. If she could marry into the Peng family, she could still live a good life. But I don't think her living conditions are bad."
"Not only is it not bad, it can be said to be quite good. I heard Hua Qingqing say that Ning Hongzao's brother is a capable man who has taken care of Ning Hongzao since she was a child. She has basically never been poor."
"That's a bit difficult."
Zhao Qing covered her forehead and suddenly felt a pain in her head.
Ning Hong couldn't help but be suspicious of Zhao Qing's sudden appearance.
He didn't think she had any good intentions and wanted to reunite with Ning Hongzao. She had abandoned her child so decisively back then and had never appeared in all these years. He couldn't believe she would miss Hongzao.
Could it be that something happened at home and they want to make Hongzao take the blame?
Ning Hong thought about it more and more and felt that this was very likely.
"No, I have to go to Beijing and find out the details first."
"Brother, how about I take a day off and go with you?"
"No, going to Beijing would be like walking into a trap. Who knows what they're up to?"
"Brother, I want to go and see. Besides, you've seen it yourself, Zhao Qing is blocking the school gate every day, and people inside the school are already talking about it," Ning Hongzao said, pouting.
There are always some people in this society who like to spout grand theories, truly speaking without understanding the pain they're going through.
Why should I?
Her mother abandoned her after giving birth to her, but now that she remembers her, she wants to acknowledge her. How shameless! She doesn't want to acknowledge her at all.
"Alright then, I'll take you there." If those people really had some ulterior motives, he thought, he should be able to protect Hongzao now.
“Then let’s go as a family. I’ve never been to Beijing before.” Ning Anping rubbed Ning Hongzao’s head. “If something really happens, even if Dad dies, I’ll die with you.”
"Dad, you're so good to me."
"Because you're Daddy's precious darling."
"Dad... If we all go, what will happen to Grandma?"
Ning Anping: "Why don't you go too?"
