When Ning Hong was carrying a bag full of money back to her hometown, she was robbed.
"Hand over the money."
This was a young man, about thirty years old, with a dark face full of worry.
He was holding an axe, his hands trembling.
"Give me your money. I'm telling you, I saw it. You have a lot of money."
"Oh, how much do you want?"
"ah--"
"How much money do you want? I can't give you all of it. I need this money to save a life." Ning Hong then took out her money bag.
Lingzhi and the deer together received 120 taels.
"I'll give you twenty taels."
Ning Hong then threw twenty taels at her.
He had just seen this middle-aged man at the pharmacy. It seemed that his mother was ill, and the doctor said that it would cost at least twenty taels of silver to cure her.
This middle-aged man's situation wasn't much better than the Ning family's.
There's no way to escape this money.
Just then, she saw the pharmacy owner give Ning Hongze a sum of money, and an idea immediately came to her.
"There are still five taels here. Use them to buy some tonics for your mother."
Ning Hong thought for a moment and then threw him another five taels of silver. "Don't do this kind of thing next time. You may be poor, but others may also be in trouble. You're not the only one in this world who's having difficulties."
"Yes, you're right, I—" He had no other choice but to resort to robbery.
The middle-aged man knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice.
"Stop kowtowing, hurry back and take care of your mother."
"Oh, thank you, thank you—"
The young man kowtowed twice more, hurriedly stuffed the money into his clothes, and rushed back to the pharmacy.
In order to get back to the village as soon as possible, Ning Hong decided to go directly through the mountain.
It's a straight line through the mountain, so you don't have to take any detours, but it's a bit dangerous.
For example, encountering wild boars or something—
Ning Hong looked at the wild boar directly in front of him and raised an eyebrow.
Wild boar: "..."
It took off running again.
Ning Hongze: "..."
He suspected that this wild boar was the same one he had encountered before.
However, it wasn't a complete loss; at least we caught a pheasant and two rabbits.
It's a good opportunity to help his grandmother recover.
Ning Hongze had just reached the village entrance when she saw the Qian family wrapping Qian Duo in a tattered mat. The smell of blood on Qian Duo was very strong, and even though she was standing so far away, she could still smell it.
My heart skipped a beat.
"Uncle Qian, what are you doing?"
Ning Hong then called out.
Startled, Mr. Qian's hand slipped, and the mat fell to the ground.
The bloody money also rolled out.
"Ugh, what bad luck," Mr. Qian cursed.
He squatted down again and wrapped the money up.
.
"So what if he has a lot of money?" Ning Hong asked, his gaze falling on the straw mat. He had only been gone for a day, and Qian Duo had already been beaten to death.
“He’s dead,” Mr. Qian said uncomfortably.
"Dead? You promised me yesterday that for fifty taels of silver, you would marry Qian Duo to my An Nuo. Now you're telling me Qian Duo is dead? How did he die? You didn't beat him to death, did you?"
Ning Hong then stepped forward, pushed Qian's father aside, snatched the mat, and unfolded it.
The person lying inside is definitely rich.
His body was covered in wounds, and his head and face were covered in blood.
"Oh my God—"
The villagers, who had been startled by Ning Hongze's commotion, all came out. When they saw Qian Duo's miserable state, they couldn't help but gasp.
"Old Qian, have you gone mad? How could you beat your daughter like this?"
"That's right, Qian Duo has always been well-behaved and sensible, how come you—"
The village chief chimed in.
In fact, there are many cases of male chauvinism in the village.
The village chief can't manage it, and doesn't want to.
After all, he himself is like that, so what right does he have to judge others? He's just a little better than others.
However, it is extremely rare for someone like the Qian family to beat their own daughter to death.
At least a living daughter can be kept to exchange for money.
So what do you plan to do now?
Ning Hongze took out a silver ingot. "I finally managed to get the money, and now your daughter is gone?" Ning Hongze gently placed her hand on Qian Duo's pulse.
The pulse is very weak.
However, there is still hope.
"Money—" Money father was stunned. He hadn't expected that Ning Hong had actually gotten the money.
The gleaming silver made his eyes widen in surprise.
"Oh my, Hongze, you actually managed to get this money?"
"Heh—so what if you got it? This money probably doesn't belong to you anymore." Ning Hong glanced at Qian Duo.
"This—it's all my damn mother's fault. She's heartless and gave me so much money. Don't worry, I'll give her a good beating later."
"Whether you hit your wife or not is none of my business. The problem is that you have a lot of money—and you're dead now."
"He's still breathing, but the village doctor said she can't treat him. He's so badly injured, he needs to be taken to the town for treatment." Most importantly, we need to prepare at least fifty taels of silver.
How could they bear to part with it?
It's better to just abandon it and let it fend for itself.
"You're really heartless."
Ning Hong gritted her teeth and said, "How about this, I'll give you ten taels of silver. You can let me take Qian Duo back. If I'm lucky enough to cure Qian Duo, then Qian Duo will be my family member, and you'll have nothing to do with him anymore."
"Thirty taels. If you don't care, we'll just throw you into the mass grave," Qian's mother shouted.
