"That's a good idea!" Mrs. Shu clapped her hands and applauded.
In the eyes of Xu Ning's sister-in-law, Xu Ning is a money tree. If one day the money tree stops producing money, she will naturally be ruthlessly abandoned.
As long as Xu Ning can understand this and is willing to cooperate with them in acting, this matter will definitely be accomplished!
"But if her sister-in-law finds out later that we are working together to deceive her, won't she come to our house to cause trouble?" asked Sun worriedly.
Old Mrs. Shu didn't give up at all, "Let's just make a fuss, why are there so many of us afraid of her? Besides, everyone is blind, and if this thing really makes a fuss, it's not necessarily us who will be scolded!"
"
"Mom is right. People like her just need to be dealt with. If they dare to make trouble, just give her a good beating and she will be honest!" Shu Mingli clenched his fists and danced a few times, as if it had written on his forehead, "My fists are the world's best."
The words "first hard".
Mrs. Shu glanced at him and shook her head and looked away, "You are so good, so the task of persuading Ning Ning to act with us will be left to you."
Shu Mingli panicked, "Ah? I can't do it. I'm stupid. Why don't you let Mingzhi do it? He's slippery and he can definitely persuade him."
"Are you sure you want me to come?" Shu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows at him and said provocatively: "If your wife is snatched away, don't cry to me."
Shu Mingli: "...Forget it, I'll persuade you myself."
Shu Mingzhi patted him on the shoulder happily, "That's right. It's reasonable to pursue your own daughter-in-law."

The next day, Xu Ning finished cleaning the grocery store and went to Shu's restaurant to help as usual.
For some reason, she felt something was wrong as soon as she entered the door.
Everyone always glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and the way they looked at her was completely different from before. There was surprise, regret, and sympathy in them... She was confused.
What was even stranger was Shu Mingli, that guy didn't do any work, and kept wandering in front of her. He hung around for a long time without saying a word to him, and when she took the initiative to ask, he ran away with a red face.
It's really weird.
Xu Ning shook his head and put aside the messy thoughts in his mind. He took the wooden basin to the well to fetch water and wash the vegetables. Halfway through washing the vegetables, Shu Mingli came again.
This time she couldn't help it anymore, and stepped forward directly to block Shu Mingli's retreat, "Shu Mingli, do you have something to say to me? Just say what you want to say, don't be coy and coy like a girl.
Like words."
Being questioned by Xu Ning face to face, Shu Mingli's mind went blank. He forgot all the words he had prepared and opened his mouth and said: "Will you be my wife?"
Xu Ning was confused, "What?"
"I ask you if you are willing to be my wife? Although I am not as eloquent as the fourth brother, and I am not as good-looking as the fifth brother, but I will be good to you!
Just like father and mother, they work hard to make money to buy you delicious food, nice clothes, beautiful jewelry, and all the things you like."
Shu Mingli talked a lot like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. After he felt that he was not convincing, he took out a cloth bag from his pocket and stuffed it into Xu Ning's hand.
"This is the personal money I have saved in the past few days. I will give it all to you. You can use it to buy food. With me here, you will never go hungry again."
Xu Ning's head was buzzing and he stuttered when he spoke, "Brother, are you sick? Or is your brain burned out?"
Shu Mingli plucked up the courage to raise his head, met her eyes, and nodded seriously, "I'm not sick, and I'm not talking nonsense. I'm telling the truth."
"But... it shouldn't be." Xu Ning glanced at the red-cheeked man in front of her, and the details of their interactions in the past few days flashed through her mind.
Except for grabbing the fire stick on the first day, the job on the second day, and the cooking spoon on the third day, they didn't say anything else.
Could it be that Shu Mingli fell in love with grabbing things from her?
Then this person's hobbies are really hard to describe.
Xu Ning didn't answer, Shu Mingli finished his lines and didn't know what to say anymore, and the atmosphere became cold.
A group of melon-eaters were so anxious that they slapped the wall on the other side, "Matchmaker, pretend to be sick! Matchmaker, pretend to be sick!"
You don't mention anything important and only focus on getting a wife. Shu Mingli, you are really a talent!
After being reminded by everyone, Shu Mingli's out-of-line thinking finally got back on track, "Well, the matchmaker came to my house yesterday... Before leaving, she asked about you. She said that your sister-in-law wanted twenty taels of silver to sell you.
"
Xu Ning was not surprised at all when he heard this. He nodded casually and said, "Yes, I know."
"Aren't you afraid? Don't you want to resist?" Shu Mingli looked even more excited than she was.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "I was a little scared at first, but as time went on I became less scared. As for resisting...how can I resist? If I don't resist, I still have a place to stay. If I resist, I can only sleep on the street."
Shu Mingli was mute, and when he looked at her again, his face showed more pity, "I had no place to go before, but now I have. Xu Ning, please be my wife."
Xu Ning shook his head, "Shu Mingli, don't be like this. I'm living a good life now. I have a place to live and food to eat. It couldn't be better.
Although my brother is a bit cowardly, he is pretty good to me. Sometimes he will secretly give me food. It was his idea to work in your store to earn a living.
As for my sister-in-law, just pretend she doesn't exist. She wants to sell me for twenty taels of silver, so someone has to be willing to spend the money to buy me."
When Xu Ning said these words, there was always a smile on the corner of Xu Ning's mouth, a very warm smile, as gentle and gentle as the spring breeze, but Shu Mingli's eyes burst into tears.
He turned his back, wiped the moisture from his eyes, and spoke with difficulty: "Actually, the matchmaker has found someone willing to pay. He is an old man in his thirties, and his wife died..."
Xu Ning's smile suddenly froze on her face, "Really?"
Shu Mingli nodded, "Xu Ning, don't be sad yet. Yan Yan has come up with a good idea. As long as you are willing to follow it, we will definitely be able to rescue you."
Shu Mingli told her the plan of pretending to be sick with words and gestures, and finally asked her expectantly: "Xu Ning, are you willing to accompany us in this play? If you are willing, just nod."
Xu Ning lowered his head and wiped his tears silently. He didn't speak for a long time. Finally, he endured the sadness and raised his head and said, "Forget it, Brother Shu, I accept your wishes, but I can't let you spend your whole life trying to save me.
"
After saying these words, Xu Ning turned to leave. Mrs. Shu and others who were watching saw this and quickly chased after him.
"Girl, don't go. If you don't want to marry Mingli, you can just stay in the restaurant as a helper after leaving home. My aunt will take care of your food and housing. I will marry you when you meet the right person in the future. In any case, it is better than marrying
How strong is it for a man like that!"
Mrs. Shu held her hand, her eyes filled with tears.
Xu Ning cried even harder when he heard this, "I am not unwilling to marry Brother Mingli. I am lucky to marry into your family. I am afraid of Brother Mingli...I am afraid that he is willing to marry me because he pities me.
It's not fair to him."
Shu Mingli was so anxious that his arms were flailing, "It doesn't matter, I'm willing to marry you, I've always been willing!"
