After Ning An was completely overwhelmed by the flattery, Ning Fei only mentioned it slightly, and Ning An went back to his room and pried open the key to the wooden box where Yang Meizi kept the money, which was locked with a key.
He took out all the cash in the house, more than 300 yuan, and stuffed it into Ning Fei's pocket.
"Take this and make arrangements for Ninghao. Make sure to take good care of her and don't let her suffer too much."
Don't worry, if I don't have enough money, I'll go to the credit union and withdraw the money from my previous savings account.
All those credit union deposit certificates were fixed-term, and each one was saved up by Yang Meizi through her hard work.
But now, not only has he given Ning Fei the cash he had painstakingly saved, but he is also planning to withdraw the money from his savings account and give it to Ning Fei as well.
If Yang Meizi finds out about this, the couple will definitely have a big argument.
But Ning An is now so engrossed in his work that he hasn't even considered the possibility that Yang Meizi might find the money missing when she returns.
Ning Fei wouldn't care about his sister-in-law arguing with his brother after she came back; what business was it of his?
Holding this 300 yuan, although it's not a lot, it's not a small amount either.
After all, where are the channels to make money in the countryside? Every penny is earned by digging in the land.
He originally thought that getting 100 yuan from his older brother would be considered very good.
This far exceeded his expectations.
Ning Fei didn't even bother to ask his mother to deduct the money; he simply pocketed the huge sum and left his elder brother's house.
After he came out, he didn't go straight home.
Instead, when they reached the fork in the road halfway down, they inexplicably turned and headed down another road.
He walked until he reached a dilapidated mud house at the village entrance, looked around to make sure no one was following him, and then went up and knocked on the broken door three times long and once short.
Upon hearing the coded knock, someone came out and opened the door shortly afterward.
However, there was only a crack in the broken wooden board, and when they saw it was Ning Fei, they opened the door to let him in.
"Brother Fei, what brings you here again?"
The man glanced at Ning Fei with some curiosity, remembering that Ning Fei had gambled away all his money that morning.
Could it be that he brought back more money on this trip?
Ning Fei scoffed at the man, straightened his back, and patted his pocket.
"What, can't I come? Just wait, I'll give you a bonus when I win money."
Ning Fei thought smugly that since the man had opened the door for him, he would give him a red envelope as a reward if he won money later.
When the man heard Ning Fei say that, his eyes lit up and he immediately stepped forward to flatter him.
They led him into a room with black cloth hanging over all the windows. The room was filled with smoke and the air was murky. When you breathed in it, you could smell all sorts of odors.
However, none of the people inside the house cared about any of this.
They all stared at their cards with bloodshot eyes; some looked excited, while others looked dejected.
"Hahaha, I won!"
One of the men, with a thick beard, slammed his cards onto the table and, laughing loudly, shoveled all the money on the table towards himself.
The others looked on with disappointment and frustration. How could they have lost?
After the bearded man rummaged through the money, he stood up and saw Ning Fei walk into the room.
His eyes immediately darted around, and without the person who led Ning Fei in saying anything, he had already guessed pretty much what was going on.
