“But I can’t take this money.”
When Old Lady Ning heard this, she wanted to refute, but she only heard Ning Zhihuan say: "Grandma, I'm still young. What if someone gets greedy and hurts me with so much money? What if I can't control myself and spend it recklessly? It's better to leave it with you. Just treat it as my deposit with you, okay?"
Old Lady Ning hesitated for a moment before taking the money back, but she did say, "Okay, but I don't have that kind of interest."
Ning Zhihuan said with a grin, "Okay, okay, I don't want any interest."
Old Lady Ning paused while she turned to light the fire, then suddenly seemed to think of something and asked, "Does our Huanbao want to go to school?"
The word "school" was somewhat unfamiliar to Ning Zhihuan.
In her previous life, she hadn't been to school for a long time, and she never thought that she could experience the feeling of going to school with a schoolbag on her back again.
It is no exaggeration to say that for a talent secretly cultivated by this country, she has a 90% chance of passing the college entrance examination even if she takes it now. So how to make her excellent results have a basis is a problem.
Seeing Ning Zhihuan's thoughtful expression but hesitant to answer, Old Lady Ning became anxious. Thinking that Ning Zhihuan was unwilling, she quickly said, "Huanbao, going to school is great. You can meet many friends. Grandma really wants to go to school... Anyway, Huanbao, let's go to school, okay?"
Ning Zhihuan came back to his senses from his memories and saw that Old Lady Ning's wrinkled face was full of tension. She looked at him cautiously, afraid that she would not agree to go to school.
She knew why.
Old Mrs. Ning lives in a family that favors boys over girls, and she has suffered a lot herself.
It was obvious that her grades were better than her younger brother's, but her family was supporting her younger brother to go to junior high school, so she was forced to drop out of school to help her parents with housework and work to earn money to pay for her younger brother's tuition.
The younger brother was a disappointing student and dropped out of school after the second year of junior high school. Grandma Ning was overjoyed and felt that she was free now. She no longer had to make money to support her younger brother's studies and she could go back to school.
At this time, her parents were seriously ill, and their only wish was for her to get married quickly so that they could take care of her younger brother together.
Old Mrs. Ning didn't want to agree at first, but since her parents were kneeling down and begging her, she couldn't just sit back and watch.
So she gave up studying, and this was an eternal pain in her heart.
So, in the Ning family, when Second Aunt Li Xueyan wanted to study, although Old Lady Ning didn't say it out loud, she supported her wholeheartedly, perhaps to make up for the regret in her heart.
She had tried many times to send Ning Zhihuan to school, but either she was rejected by the school or Ning Zhihuan was bullied by other students. Over time, Ning Zhihuan became tired of studying, and Old Lady Ning no longer mentioned the matter.
Letting Ning Zhihuan go to school became a taboo in the Ning family and also a pain in Old Lady Ning's heart.
"Grandma, I want to go to school." Ning Zhihuan said with a smile, which also made Grandma Ning feel relieved.
As if afraid that she would regret it, she quickly said, "Okay, okay, go to school. Grandma will help you arrange it. Our Huanbao is so smart, his grades will definitely be good in the future. Grandma is waiting for our Huanbao to be admitted to university, and then our Ning family will have a college student!"
"But the first college student must be the eldest brother, so I can only be the second one."
When talking about Ning Zhilang, the smile on Old Lady Ning's face became even wider. He is a promising boy. He is in his third year of high school this year and rarely goes home. He usually has good grades, and it is basically just a matter of time for him to be admitted to university.
"It's okay. I'll let Brother Lang tutor you from now on. If you have any questions, go ask Ning Zhigan and Zhikun..."
Mentioning Ning Zhikun was like pouring a bucket of cold water on the heated atmosphere between the two. They both quieted down, especially Old Lady Ning, who had a look of regret on her face.
Ning Zhikun and Ning Zhigan are twins, but they have very different personalities.
Ning Zhigan is lively and active, while Ning Zhikun is calm and steady, and more often than not, a bit sinister.
But he was not like this before. He was a fifteen-year-old boy in the prime of his life. It was only because of Ning Hong's scheme, his leg was injured, and the people in his class looked down on him that he dropped out of school.
His previous results were much better than Ning Zhigan's.
Ning Zhihuan saw that when Ning Zhikun was mentioned, Old Lady Ning turned around and quietly wiped away her tears.
I feel a mixture of heartache and guilt towards this grandson.
Ning Zhihuan lowered his head and said nothing. At this moment, any words seemed pale. They could not mend the broken heart of Old Lady Ning, nor could they help Ning Zhikun stand up again.
The best plan now is to make a lot of money and take Ning Zhikun to a big hospital. He is old and in good health, so maybe he can recover as before.
As for Ning Hong... she will definitely make her pay the price.
After chatting with Mr. Ning, Ning Zhihuan returned to the room, planned to put the five hundred yuan in his pocket and try his luck on the mountain where he went last time.
See if I can still "roll" to Xiao Yuchi's residence.
But when she groped under the pillow, she still couldn't find the five hundred yuan.
She searched the pillow over and over again, and even looked under the bed, but there was no sign of the five hundred yuan.
Could it be that the money disappeared?
A serious look crossed Ning Zhihuan's face. This was not a good sign. Someone broke into her room and stole five hundred yuan.
If it's still done in secret like this, what will happen next time when that person sneaks into my room to harm me?
As he was thinking this, Ning Hong walked in with her schoolbag on her back, apparently having just finished school.
He asked with some concern: "Little sister, what are you looking for? Rummaging through boxes and cabinets."
Ning Zhihuan turned to look at her after hearing this, and his sharp eyes flew towards her like a knife with scrutiny.
Ning Hong's face turned slightly pale, then quickly returned to normal.
Ning Zhihuan waved her hand and said calmly, "It's nothing. Sister Ning Hong, go put your schoolbag away. It's time for dinner."
Ning Hong nodded when she heard that, and left with an unnatural look on her face.
Staring at her leaving back, Ning Zhihuan fell into deep thought.
Ning Hong rarely came to her house. If she came, she must have a purpose. If there was something in the house that she liked, she would use it as an excuse to come to her, but in fact she would give the thing to her.
But this time, she didn't take anything away, and didn't even look around the room. Instead, she stared at herself.
This made Ning Zhihuan feel that the money was stolen by her.
But she has to go to school today, and the school is not close to her home. It will take at least an hour to go back and forth... Is it possible?
But apart from her, Ning Zhihuan really couldn't think of anyone else.
His eyes were fixed on the direction she left, and he didn't look away for a long time. It was unknown what he was thinking.
In the next room, Ning Hong happily took out the Dabao she had just bought from her schoolbag and looked at it carefully.
