Seeing his sister-in-law's abrupt questioning, Ning An frowned in displeasure and avoided looking at Zhao Xueqin.
However, as a grown man, he couldn't very well argue with a woman.
He put down his chopsticks, frowned, and replied, "Didn't Ning Fei take the money and go back yesterday?"
"What? He took the money home yesterday?"
Zhao Xueqin exclaimed in surprise, lifting her entire face to reveal it.
Ning An turned her head and was startled to see a face that was swollen like a pig's head suddenly appearing in front of her.
Ning Chao sensed something was amiss from the conversation between his father and aunt.
"Dad, did Uncle ask us for money yesterday?"
Ning An, who was clutching her chest to calm herself down after almost screaming in fright, froze upon hearing her eldest son's words.
He cleared his throat and said awkwardly, "Your uncle's family is in trouble. We'll help if we can."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chao's heart sank.
From childhood to adulthood, for Ninghao's sake and for his uncle's sake, his father has caused his own family a lot of trouble.
Now that Mom and my younger brother aren't home, Dad took the money from the house and lent it to my uncle. He called it a loan, but it was really a gift. No wonder he can't get it back!
However, a glimmer of hope remained in his heart.
"Dad, you didn't use the money Mom saved to buy fertilizer for the family's fields, did you?"
They were old farmers, a whole family of people who toiled in the fields from dawn till dusk.
Since we started using this fertilizer, the harvest from the fields we contracted has been much better than in previous years.
The family's livelihood depends entirely on what grows in this field, so Yang Meizi had already saved the money for fertilizer, waiting for her to come back so that her eldest son could buy it.
If the money meant for fertilizer were used up, I wonder if my own mother would be furious.
When Ning An heard his eldest son's question, he was taken aback at first, and then vaguely remembered that his wife had indeed said that the money left at home was for buying fertilizer.
The money in the other certificates of deposit is all in fixed-term deposits. If you withdraw it halfway through the term, you will lose the interest.
Therefore, when I was saving money, I specifically set aside money for buying fertilizer.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Seeing his expression, Ning Chao understood everything.
But this is his father, can he really hit or scold him?
He was so angry that he could only grit his teeth, his gums almost bleeding.
Zhao Xueqin, oblivious to the undercurrents between the father and son, came to her senses and immediately sat down on the ground, wailing.
"That heartless bastard took the money and didn't come back all night. He must have gone off to gamble in some backwater."
The son and nephew are still suffering in prison, but the employer doesn't care at all.
"I can't live like this anymore!"
He was crying and cursing at the same time, just like a theatrical performer.
Ning's mother, who had been hiding in her room since returning home and whose meals were brought to her by her granddaughter-in-law, immediately recognized the sharp voice as the arrival of her youngest daughter-in-law.
But what exactly was Zhao Xueqin cursing about?
Even if her own son does something wrong, he is still her son, and it's not her place as a woman to scold him.
Ning's mother threw down the bowl and chopsticks and stormed out the door.
Despite her advanced age, she moves just as fast as a young person.
He stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Xueqin by the hair, who was sitting on the ground, and started hitting her mouth hard.
