Although Wei Ming had some thoughts on the matter, his status in the family was very low. Let alone the ability to persuade Wei Qing.
He could only listen to Wei Qing and led her all the way to the Ning family.
Wei Qing did remember the Ning family's address, but ever since she started earning money, the men in the village began to look at her differently.
She was somewhat afraid to walk alone in the village. She knew that if she were truly violated, the only outcome would be for her to marry that person.
She received no fair treatment.
That's why she called Wei Ming along. Her brother wasn't very smart, but he was tall enough to make her feel safe.
"This is it," Wei Ming said, pointing to the brick house in front of him.
There are quite a few brick and tile houses in the whole village, but only the Ning family's house is built so beautifully.
It's a pity that Uncle Ning passed away so early; otherwise, the Ning family would be even better off than it is now.
Wei Ming sighed inwardly.
"Brother, please call Ning Qingfeng out for me."
"That bear was beaten by Ning Hongze, what's the use of you looking for Ning Qingfeng?"
"Brother, you don't understand. I just want a bear paw."
So, he doesn't understand.
Shouldn't you just buy bear paws from Ning Hongze directly? Why go through all that trouble?
"Qingqing, do you like Ning Qingfeng?"
"Brother, don't talk nonsense." How could she possibly like that spendthrift? "I don't like him at all." As she spoke, a hint of disdain even flashed in her eyes.
Ning Qingfeng, who happened to be limping out, saw and heard everything.
After figuring things out, Ning Qingfeng's mind cleared up.
Wei Qing not only disliked him, but might even have loathed him. She had Wei Ergouzi deliberately lure her into gambling, making her addicted, ruining her reputation, and squandering the family's fortune.
What are you doing here?
Ning Qingfeng asked in an annoyed tone.
"Brother Qingfeng, I have something to say to you." Wei Qing gritted her teeth, not expecting that her words would be overheard.
She did not like Ning Qingfeng, but she always felt a bit wary of him and felt that she should not break ties with him, even though he had become a spendthrift. She still had to be careful.
Who knows when Ning Qingfeng might get up? Of course, she wasn't willing to give him that chance.
"I think there's nothing more to say between us." Now that the engagement has been dissolved, what's the point of talking? Besides, he still has doubts about her!
"Brother Qingfeng, I really have something to ask you." Wei Qing frowned.
Why did this guy's attitude suddenly become so bad?
She hadn't acted this way before, so why did she change so suddenly? "Brother Qingfeng, did someone whisper something in your ear?"
"No, it's just that my mind has suddenly become much sharper, and I've figured some things out." Ning Qingfeng looked coldly at Wei Qing. "So I don't quite understand why you had your cousin encourage me to gamble? If you wanted to break off the engagement, you could have just said so. Why go through all this trouble?"
“Brother Qingfeng, it was clearly you who wanted to gamble, how can you say that I asked my cousin to encourage you?”
Wei Qing's expression changed slightly; she hadn't expected that this guy would think of that.
"That's true, we really can't blame anyone else for this." If he had been more resolute, he wouldn't have fallen for it. Even now, thinking about it, his hands still itch a little.
No, no, that won't work.
He had only just remembered it when the image of his brother's fist flashed through his mind, and he immediately felt pain all over his body.
His brother's beatings were really painful.
"Alright, what do you want from me? My foot is still hurting! I don't have time to waste chatting with you here."
"This guy..." Wei Qing cursed inwardly, "I heard you got a bear paw."
"That's not mine, that's my brother's." I knew this woman wouldn't come here unless she needed something; it turns out she had her eye on the bear paw.
Actually, he had never tasted bear paw before, but his brother said it must taste good.
No, thinking of his brother's fists, even if it doesn't taste good, he'll still say it does.
"There are two bear paws, could you spare one for me?" Since there's only one, she'll give it to the young master of the Jiang family. She'll see about the gambling den's young master later. Wei Qing thought to herself.
"Excuse me, I need both bear paws." Just then, Ning Hong came out and glared at Ning Qingfeng.
Ning Qingfeng suddenly felt a little guilty. No, what was he guilty about? He hadn't done anything.
Thinking of this, Ning Qingfeng relaxed his previously hunched shoulders.
He did nothing wrong, and his brother had no reason to hit him.
“Brother Ning, why be so heartless? Even if Brother Qingfeng and I have broken off our engagement, we were still acquainted. Why do you have to be so extreme?”
"Who's your brother? Is it this honest Wei Ming, who's been completely fooled by you, or that Wei Ergouzi who followed your orders to harm my family? You're a woman, don't keep calling me 'brother.' We're not even that close. Have you no shame?"
"Why...why did you have to say such harsh things?" Wei Qing's face turned bright red. She never expected Ning Hongze to say such things, showing no manners whatsoever.
It's simply, simply incomprehensible.
"I have even harsher things to say. Be smart and leave now, don't force me to say them."
"We'll see," Wei Qing said angrily, then pulled Wei Ming away.
"What did Ning Hongze mean just now?" Wei Ming suddenly asked on the way home.
