Ning Hong then gave Ning Qingfeng a severe beating.
Actually, he did show some leniency.
If he hadn't shown mercy, with his current strength, he probably would have killed Ning Qingfeng long ago.
"Brother, brother, spare me, spare me!"
Ning Qingfeng never imagined that his brother would be so strong.
This guy was really showing him affection. But his brother was completely ruthless.
"Mother, please tell my brother to stop! Make him stop!"
“Your brother has just recovered from a serious illness and has no strength left. You angered him to this extent, so it’s only right that he hit you a couple of times.” Seeing that Ning Hongze was actually able to get out of bed and hit someone, Liu’s eyes welled up with tears and her eyes reddened again.
Qingfeng always says that being famous is a lie.
But the doctor had already issued a critical condition notice, so it couldn't be a lie.
But now that Hongze can actually hit people, it's enough to prove that his body has indeed recovered a lot, thank goodness.
Later that evening, she was going to offer incense to her old man, hoping that his spirit in heaven would protect Hongze and keep her safe.
Upon hearing Liu's reply, Ning Qingfeng felt like cursing.
How could someone with such great strength be recovering from a serious illness?
Do you really think he's a fool?
Ning Qingfeng wanted to resist, but he was powerless to do so.
All I could do was hold my head with both hands, trying to protect my face.
If my face gets injured, I won't be able to go out.
Ning Hong seemed to have seen through Ning Qingfeng's thoughts, and her attack became even more forceful.
At dinner time, Ning Hong sat at the table with a blank expression.
The only things that are still intact in their house are probably this house and this dining table.
A bowl of thin porridge was placed on the table, with the rice grains clearly visible.
There was another basin containing three dark, round cornbread buns.
There was also a small dish of pickled vegetables.
It was pickled by his mother, Liu, and the vegetables were wild vegetables from the mountains.
"It's this stuff again, Mom. Can't you change it? The chicken soup you made for my brother yesterday was quite delicious. Why don't you kill another one? My brother isn't well yet, is he? He needs some nourishment." Ning Qingfeng stirred the porridge with his chopsticks for a while, then put them away with a disappointed look.
"Eat your food. Do I need to remind you why our family has become like this?" Ning Hong looked at Ning Qingfeng coldly.
"How would I know?" Ning Qingfeng said softly, feeling somewhat uneasy.
It seems he's lost a lot of money lately?
"Okay, Mom, give me some more money, and I'm sure I can break even. Once I break even, we can sell meat for every meal."
"Heh." Ning Hong sneered.
"You want to win back your losses? If you keep gambling, we'll lose even this house."
The land deed has been almost completely lost.
Next comes the house deed.
All that's left of their land deeds is the two acres of sandy land they kept for themselves to cultivate.
Because grains grown in sandy soil have extremely low yields, they don't fetch much money even when sold.
That's why they were able to stay until the end.
Those two acres of sandy land were not far from their doorstep, which gave Ning Hong quite a few ideas.
"Brother, I'm just having a bit of bad luck. But I have a feeling I'll be able to turn things around."
"Stop turning over. If you have too much strength, go and turn the soil."
"What?"
"I'm telling you to go and till the land."
"I won't go. How could I do such a thing?"
"Why can't we do it?"
"I am a scholar."
Although he has already been expelled from the school.
Ning Qingfeng touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
"You have the nerve to call yourself a scholar? A scholar gambling? It's an insult to scholarship!" Ning Hong said impatiently. "I'll just ask you one more time, are you going to till the land or not?"
"I'm not going, I'd rather die than go."
"Are you going or not?"
Ning Hong raised her hand and said, "Then I'll just beat you to death. Anyway, people like you are just a waste of food, so it's better if you die."
"Don't."
Just as Ning Hongze threw a punch at him, Ning Qingfeng suddenly covered his head and said, "I'll go, brother, I'll go right away after I finish eating."
"That's good, isn't it? You should know your place." Ning Hong sneered. "I doubt you'd run away, would you?"
"No, absolutely not?" Ning Qingfeng's eyes darted around.
Not run away? Would he still be him? Don't be ridiculous.
Wait a minute, he'll run away after he finishes eating.
Go to the casino and gamble a couple of times. If he doesn't have the money, no problem, they'll lend him some.
Ning Qingfeng was deep in thought when he came to his senses and saw that Ning Hongze's gaze towards him had become even colder.
Ning Hong suddenly stood up.
Ning Qingfeng flinched.
Ning Hong slowly walked to the firewood pile outside and picked up a stick about the thickness of an arm.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Are you going to hit him with such a thick stick?
Is this stick going to kill someone?
"Brother, do you really want to kill me?"
"No, that's not it." Ning Hong chuckled. "You're my only brother, how could I bear to kill you? I still want to try to save you."
Ning Qingfeng: "???????"
Why do you make it sound like he's about to die?
"I just wanted to tell you that I've been in a bad mood lately. If I find out you went to the gambling den again, I'll get so angry that I won't be able to control my emotions." He suddenly exerted force.
The wooden stick broke instantly.
Ning Qingfeng was dumbfounded.
Holy crap, is this even human strength?
When did his brother become so strong?
If he really tries to run away, his brother will break his arms and legs without even needing any props.
Break it off directly with your hands.
"Qingfeng, I believe you won't let your brother down, right?"
Ning Qingfeng nodded blankly.
"Brother, I've finished eating. I'm going to till the land now." After finishing his thin porridge in a few bites and eating a cornbread, Ning Qingfeng grabbed a hoe and went to the sandy area not far from the door.
Seeing Ning Qingfeng working so hard, Ning Hong nodded and decided to take her adopted younger brother to the mountains the next day.
Their family is too poor now.
We should at least bring something back.
Of course, it would be even better if we could hunt some prey.
Ning Hong thought to herself silently.
Ning Qingfeng flipped until the moon was high in the sky and it was completely dark before he stopped what he was doing.
He had just raised his head when he saw Ning Hong looking at him thoughtfully. He felt a chill run down his spine, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then looked at the moon in the sky.
It's so late, is his brother still not letting him rest?
