Ning Hong had just arrived after receiving a call from her family.
His brother was going to commit suicide.
He was completely stunned.
Before I could even process any of the details, I rushed back.
He dared not gamble; what if this suicidal younger brother was the one he was meant to protect?
He had just returned home when he found the living room packed with people, and his mother was crying and wailing.
Ning Hong pinched her aching forehead and roared, "Stop crying!"
A sudden roar silenced the chaotic scene completely.
Ning Hong then walked directly to the man sitting on the sofa, who looked dejected, and slapped him across the face.
"Cousin, why did you hit me?"
What? You called the wrong person?
Ning Hong remained expressionless. "Let me test the strength first."
He took out a fifty-yuan note from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Consider this payment."
"Okay, sure." He'd rather get fifty yuan for two slaps than have his cousin slap him twice more. "Brother, why don't you hit me a few more times?"
Then give him some more money.
"elder brother?"
Ning Hongsheng blinked. Why did he feel like his brother had mistaken him for someone else?
Before Ning Hongsheng could think any further, Ning Hongze's fists came flying at him, and he started punching Ning Hongsheng.
"Brother, please stop hitting him."
"Don't you want to die? Suicide is so pathetic. How about I help you? I'll beat you to death."
"Hongze, stop hitting him."
"Exactly, look how much your mom is crying."
Everyone offered their advice, and after giving Ning Hongsheng a severe beating, Ning Hong respectfully sent his family members out.
Of course, before they left, Ning Hong grabbed some candy and distributed it to them one by one.
In this way, even those who were originally somewhat dissatisfied with Ning Hongze changed their attitudes.
"Cousin, are you sure you don't want to hit me a few more times?"
This money came too easily.
"Sure, I'll hit you with a rolling pin, but I won't pay you."
"Then, then I'd better not." He wasn't that stupid—to not only not earn money, but also get beaten up.
Sigh, making money is so hard!
After seeing these people off, Ning Hong pinched the bridge of her nose again, asked her mother to keep an eye on Ning Hongsheng, and then returned to her room.
Fortunately, each room has a name on it, so there's no fear of mistaking one for another.
As soon as she answered the call, Ning Hong locked the door from the inside, lay down on the bed, and began to receive the plot.
Sure enough, this world is another little brother.
It is now 1980 in the Tang Dynasty.
An era in which all industries were waiting to be developed.
The female protagonist, Qiao Min, is also a time traveler, having come from the future.
She seized the opportunities of the era, making her family among the first to become wealthy in Tang State. During this entrepreneurial journey, she encountered all sorts of men, each of whom deeply admired her. Ultimately, arranged by her family, she chose Ning Hongsheng, her younger brother from the same village.
Of course, things weren't that simple. Although she married Ning Hongsheng, men came and went in her life. Ning Hongsheng often saw her being intimate with other men, which naturally made him resentful.
This led to several arguments.
Ning Hongsheng had also visited the Qiao family. At first, Qiao's father would say a few words to Qiao Min, but later, as the visits became more frequent, the Qiao family members grew tired of it.
The argument escalated, and in an accident, Qiao Min was accidentally pushed down the stairs by Ning Hongsheng.
She was two months pregnant at the time, and both she and her unborn child died.
Qiao Min died, and her family naturally paid the price.
Of course, the story is not over yet. Qiao Min is reborn, on the very day she gets engaged to Ning Hongsheng. She immediately breaks off the engagement, which is why her younger brother, who deeply loves her, is so distraught.
After that, he continued to pester Qiao Min, doing many wrong things that led to Qiao Min's real man sending her to prison.
The client is the original person.
He hoped his younger brother could stay away from Qiao Min. He also hoped that the Ning family could stay away from the Qiao family.
If a child is raised but not taught, it is the father's fault. Their father died early, and he was fifteen years older than his younger brother, so he naturally had to take on the responsibility of being a father.
The original owner of this world did have a child.
He had an ex-wife, but she died in childbirth, leaving him with a son. Over the years, he has been busy taking care of his son and has neglected his younger brother.
Therefore, the original owner felt somewhat guilty.
Ning Hong rubbed her eyes and silently sat up. In this story, it wasn't entirely the Ning family's responsibility.
The Qiao family also bears some responsibility.
If Qiao Min doesn't change her personality, she won't be happy no matter who she marries.
There was movement outside the door again.
His mother's crying came from outside.
“Son, don’t be like this. If Qiao Min doesn’t want you, there are other good girls out there.”
“I really like Qiao Min. I’m going to ask her why she gave up our marriage.”
"Mom, let him go, let him go." Ning Hong opened the door and said coldly. "He's already lost all face anyway."
"Brother, I'm just going to ask."
"You asked? So what? Qiao Min has made it clear she doesn't want you anymore, why are you chasing after her?"
“But my heart…” It hurts, it’s so sore and bitter. “Just the day before yesterday, we were fine. How could she have changed so much in just one day?”
"Maybe I suddenly think you're immature and don't want to marry you anymore."
"Brother, are you even my real brother? You're just hurting me. What did I do that made me immature and irrational?"
"You're acting like you're going to die over a little relationship issue, that's childish enough. Even Xiao Yun is more capable than you."
Xiao Yun, also known as Ning Zheyun, is sixteen years old and currently attends the No. 1 Middle School in the city. He is a boarding student, which is why Ning Hong was able to rush home after receiving the call.
"Sigh." Ning Hongsheng slumped onto the sofa like a deflated balloon.
"A woman's heart is like the bottom of the sea; I have no idea what she's thinking."
If you could understand what she's thinking, you wouldn't have ended up getting a divorce in your past life.
"Brother, what should I do next?"
"Work hard and find a woman better than Qiao Min in the future," Ning Hong patted his shoulder.
A "tsk" sound came from the doorway. The two looked up and saw Qiao Min and Qiao Fang carrying some things over.
That tsk sound just now came from Qiao Fang. She seemed to have heard his words, and a look of disdain appeared on her face and in her eyes.
"These are all your engagement gifts. We're returning them to you. In principle, you don't have to return these, but since your family isn't well-off, and we're all neighbors, we can't really take advantage of you."
"Heh." Ning Hong smiled and said, "If you don't return them, and your daughter gets engaged a few more times, your family will become a millionaire."
