"Who told you to pretend to be sick every day? Your mother's thoughts are all on you, and she doesn't care about me at all," Ning Qingfeng said bitterly.
In most families, the youngest child is more pampered, but in his family, it's completely different. Whether it's his father or mother, they both love his older brother the most.
He still remembered that when his father was alive, he would always hold his hand and ask him to take good care of his brother in the future.
They said my brother's health was poor, that he was weak.
Judging from how his brother fights the bear, he's not physically weak at all. Compared to his brother, he's the one who's truly physically weak.
Ning Qingfeng thought to himself with displeasure.
Her mother was the same way, always referring to her brother.
This made him feel annoyed.
"Bang!" They had only been in the courtyard for a short while when Ning Hong heard Ning Qingfeng's words.
He threw Xiong Xiazi and Ning Qingfeng down at the same time, making a loud noise.
What's gotten into you now?
“You say your mother doesn’t love you, your father doesn’t love you? If your father didn’t love you, why would he have taught you to read and write? If your mother didn’t love you, why would she have let you squander the family’s fortune?”
Ning Hong then lifted Ning Qingfeng up.
"If I, as your older brother, didn't care about you, why would I have gotten myself hurt protecting you? And now you're telling me we don't care about you?"
"Your head is fine, there's no blood on it," Ning Qingfeng muttered softly.
"Say it again?" Ning Hong clenched her fist and waved it in front of him.
"No, I didn't say anything." Seeing Ning Hongze's fist, Ning Qingfeng quickly shut his mouth.
Yes, why would he think that?
He used to hope to achieve great things and take good care of his mother and brother. When did he start to change?
It seems to be Wei Qing?
"It was Wei Qing who told me that I was pitiful, that I didn't have my own life, and that I was like a puppet." Later, when he was at school, he encountered several people gossiping about him, and Wei Ergouzi said he would take him out to have some fun.
"Ah." Ning Qingfeng was still pondering when a sudden pain shot through his stomach. "Brother, why did you hit me again?"
"That's exactly what I'm going to beat up. You're so stupid. You get swayed by a few words and forget everything else. Who else should I beat up if not you?"
While talking, Ning Hong continued to beat him mercilessly.
"Ouch, brother, don't hit me, it hurts so much!" His foot was still injured, so he couldn't run away at all.
There were bears blocking our way from behind, so we couldn't even retreat.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?" Liu had just stepped outside when she saw a huge bear. She immediately gasped and her mind went blank.
She almost fell to the ground, but Ning Hong was quick-witted and rushed over to catch her.
"Mother, are you alright?"
"Child, this is...this is a bear!" Liu Shi pointed tremblingly at the bear. "Did he...did he eat Qingfeng?"
As she spoke, tears streamed down Liu's face. "My poor Qingfeng!"
"Mother, I'm here, alive and well, I wasn't eaten."
His mother is so blind! A perfectly healthy person was standing right there, and he didn't even see them?
After some explanation, Madam Liu finally understood the whole story. Looking at the enormous bear, she was overjoyed.
"Hongze, see how much we can sell it for. Or, how about we pay off your brother's debt?" she said cautiously, giving Ning Qingfeng a disappointed look.
Ning Qingfeng touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Alright, after I sell this bear tomorrow, I'll go and pay off all your debts."
Ning Hong glanced at Ning Qingfeng with a sly look, "If I find out you've gone gambling again, you'd better watch yourself."
"I understand!" Ning Qingfeng shook his head repeatedly, inexplicably feeling a pain returning to his body.
As soon as Wei Qing returned to the village, she sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.
I felt this even more strongly when I got home.
Wei Ergouzi waved and called her over.
"Second cousin, what happened to the villagers?" she asked, puzzled.
Do you remember Ning Qingfeng? He's your ex-fiancé.
“Of course I remember,” Mo Wen told her, adding that Ning Qingfeng hadn’t been to the gambling den in a long time.
Of course, she didn't intend to completely destroy him; she just wanted to cripple him. Now, apart from that house, his family has almost nothing left.
That should be about right.
What happened to his family?
"Is his family about to get rich?"
"What?" Wei Qing's eyes widened. "That gambling addict can make a fortune?"
“Doesn’t he also have a sickly older brother?” Wei Ergouzi said with envy when Ning Hongze was mentioned.
Why doesn't he have such an amazing older brother?
"His older brother is amazing! Although he's not in good health, he's incredibly strong. The two brothers hunted down a bear! Such a big bear can fetch a lot of money!"
I feel envious just thinking about it, but as much as I envy him, he's not bad either. Doesn't he have a sister who's a lucky charm?
"Qing'er, your brother is a little short on money. How about you lend me some?"
"Brother, be careful with your money, I don't have much either." Although Wei Qing looked down on Wei Ergouzi, she still took out a tael of silver and handed it to him.
He's not her biological brother, so she wouldn't give him much.
Even if it's just one or two, Wei Ergouzi is satisfied.
He hummed a tune and walked away nonchalantly, leaving Wei Qing deep in thought.
Bear?
I wish I could get that bear paw.
In her memory, no one in this town had ever eaten bear paws.
First of all, black bears are not something that ordinary hunters can hunt. The hunters in town mainly catch wild rabbits, pheasants, and the like.
Perhaps she could talk to Ning Qingfeng and offer to buy the bear paw, since they wouldn't be able to deal with it anyway.
One bear paw was given to the young master of the gambling den, and the other was sent to the Jiang family as a token of gratitude for Young Master Jiang's help.
Thinking of this, Wei Qing asked her brother to lead the way.
Wei Qing's older brother is named Wei Ming, and he is a very serious person.
Upon hearing that Wei Qing was going to find Ning Qingfeng, he immediately frowned in displeasure, "You and he have already broken off your engagement, what do you want with him?"
"I heard they got a bear, and I want to buy its two paws and send them to the Jiang family."
"Bear paw?"
"Yes, I can make bear paw. The Jiang family has been helping me all along, so I should reciprocate in kind."
"That's true, it's a good thing to be grateful."
However, the Ning family had helped them a lot back then, but they seemed to have forgotten about it. They've become indifferent now that the Ning family is gone. I wonder what the Ning family would think if they saw this from heaven?
Wei Ming sighed softly.
Unfortunately, his family members were unwilling to listen to him!
