The door was locked from the inside, and the two of them fought with bare hands in the open yard.
Ning Jing had already seen Su Liang's skills when she rescued Yan Yu on the street.
And this was the first time Su Liang saw Ning Jing take action.
If there are any viewers, they will definitely feel that Su Liang's moves are fast, ruthless, and accurate, while Ning Jing's moves may seem slow, but he can pull them off instantly and feel like he is moving a thousand pounds.
One is as sharp as a knife, the other is as cool as the wind.
At the same time, he stopped his hands, Ning Jing calmed down and Su Liang was a little breathless.
"You didn't use all your strength." Su Liang said.
Ning Jing did not deny it, "You are not really powerful either."
Su Liang was limited by his current fragile body and could only exert less than 50% of his previous life's strength.
"I have to practice as soon as possible. What weapons are you good at?" Su Liang was curious.
Ningjing said, "Long sword."
Su Liang asked, "Can you teach me swordsmanship and Qinggong when you have time?"
"Okay." Ning Jing nodded, "Then you stay and work for me?"
This is another question that has never been answered.
Su Liang refused, "I can only exchange it for a meal of crispy eggplant."
The two of them worked together, with Su Liang cooking and Ning Jing washing the dishes.
But when ordering dishes, you have to pay extra.
"Deal." Ning Jing accepted.
There was a knock on the door and he went to open the door.
Bai He's face didn't look good, and he looked past Ning Jing to Su Liang.
"Tell me something." Ning Jing had no intention of inviting him in.
Su Liang guessed Bai He's intention and didn't go there either.
"I would like to ask you to help persuade my parents..." Bai He said that he wanted to marry Liu Huilan.
After he finished speaking, Ning Jing shook his head and said, "You have to figure out a solution for this kind of thing yourself." After saying that, he closed the door.
The two families have been interacting a lot recently, and Bai He may feel that Old Man Bai and Aunt Bai can change their minds if Ning Jing and Su Liang open their mouths.
But there are some things that outsiders cannot interfere with.
Bai Xiaohu rushed home, "My uncle was driven away by Brother Ning before he even entered the door!"
Aunt Bai said bitterly, "Even outsiders know that he is being stupid and are too lazy to pay attention to him! I really don't know what that Liu Huilan did to steal his soul away!"
The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, held the soles of her shoes and said nothing. Liu Huilan was her sister and they had a good relationship. But even she was an outsider in this matter and had no role to speak.
…
For lunch, Su Liang made crispy eggplants and fried thousand-layer meatloaf. Washed the wild vegetables given by Aunt Bai, mixed them with some noodles, steamed them, mixed the sauce and mix well.
"If you want to make money, you can open a restaurant." Ning Jing praised Su Liang's cooking skills again.
Su Liang nodded, "One day I will open a restaurant, and I will hire you as the shopkeeper. If you go there, the ladies and daughters-in-law will all be vying to eat there. There will be delicious food and beauties to look at."
Ning Jing frowned, "You treat me like a vase?"
Su Liang smiled and said, "Can you even praise you for how beautiful you are?"
…
After dinner, Ning Jing took out the treasure box that he had shown Su Liang and said, "You can pick three items."
Yan Yu, Xing Yusheng, Liu Huilan.
Although Su Liang rescued people voluntarily, according to the agreement, Ning Jing still had to pay her.
"Is this hairpin okay?" Su Liang picked up the jade hairpin that Jincheng had inserted into her hair on the night of their wedding.
Judging from Uncle Liang's behavior at that time, Su Liang guessed that this was something of tranquility. Maybe it was a token of love that he gave to a certain girl?
Ning Jing shook his head, "It alone won't do it."
Su Liang put down the jade hairpin and said it didn't matter. She picked out a gold bracelet, a gold and jade pendant, an emerald ring, and put away the rest of Ningjing.
Su Liang asked Ningjing for a locked wooden box and put the original owner's embroidery and three pieces of jewelry in it. The used embroidery had been washed, dried and sorted.
Since time travel, Su Liang has only seen and eaten pears. Today, I got grapes sent by Xing Yusheng. I tasted them and found them to be particularly delicious.
When it was getting dark, Aunt Bai came again. She didn't mention anything about Bai He and Liu Huilan, but just told Su Liang that Mrs. Niu's pig had been found.
"She usually offends too many people, and I don't know who it was, but she fed rat poison to a good pig!" Although Aunt Bai hated Mrs. Niu, she couldn't help but sigh when she talked about this.
Pigs are important assets to farmers, so Mrs. Niu's family suffered heavy losses.
The dead pig was found in the mountains, and rat poison is available in almost every household. Even if you go to the county government to file a complaint, you may not be able to find out in the end.
The "mastermind behind the scenes" Su Liang was only a little sorry for the pig, but not for Su Xingzhe's family.
"There's another thing, I guessed it." Aunt Bai pulled Su Liang and said, "Maybe you don't know that ever since Su Daqiang's family sold themselves as laborers, Mrs. Niu has been eyeing his house! Now the wall of Mrs. Niu's house has collapsed.
The house is in ruins. Xiu Xiu can live in it, but she might take the opportunity to occupy your house! You have to be careful!"
The house of Su Daqiang's family is the best in the village. Mrs. Niu's family has provided Su Xingzhe with education these years. They are very poor and have no money to build a new house. They are very dilapidated.
Regarding this matter, Mrs. Niu mentioned it once in front of Su Liang yesterday.
Su Liang thanked Aunt Bai, and when she was leaving, she mentioned that she wanted to marry Bai He recently.
Su Liang just smiled and said congratulations.
Aunt Bai had just left. Su Liang ate a few grapes and was about to continue practicing calligraphy when she heard someone knocking on the door again.
"Tranquility." Su Liang suspected that Aunt Bai was right.
Ningjing went to open the door and saw standing outside were Su Bai, several elders of the Su family, and Mrs. Niu and his wife, leading two dirty children.
"Where's Liang Yatou? Let her come out and tell her something!" Mrs. Niu said.
"She's asleep." Ning Jing looked indifferent.
Su Bai sighed, "Mr. Ning, something strange happened in the village last night, did you hear about it? Xingzhe's house collapsed, and the whole family had no place to live. Xingzhe is the only scholar in our village, and he will take the college examination next month
, they need a quiet place to live. The wealthy family’s house is currently vacant, and they want to move there for a while, and then move back when their house is repaired.”
"Master Ning's family is rich. If he doesn't need a few dollars, he might as well give the house to Xingzhe. In the future, when Xingzhe succeeds in the examination and becomes an official, he will not forget your benefits." A clan elder said.
Everyone who came agreed.
Behind the scenes, Ning Jing and Su Liang would be stingy, cruel, and short-sighted if they didn't agree.
Mrs. Niu screamed, "This is the Su family's house, why can't we live in it? Do you still want money?"
Su Bai sighed, "That house was bought by Liang Yatou and Mr. Hu, who runs a gambling house in the town. It really cost fifty taels. Why don't you let Xingzhe write an IOU and owe it first, and wait until he passes the exam to become a scholar?
The county government has a reward, and I will pay it back when the time comes."
The house was actually given to Su Liang by Hu Er. Su Bai knew it, but said so deliberately because he did not want to offend Ning Jing and Su Liang. However, the clan elders suppressed him and were afraid that Su Xingzhe would really make a mistake. He also did not want to offend, so he could only
Be the peacemaker in the middle.
Mrs. Niu burst into tears, "My Zhe'er has been studying for so many years, and he is finally able to get ahead, and he doesn't even have a place to live! If he fails the exam, it's all because of you! Zhe'er is in a bad mood, and you still force him to do so.
Why are you so cruel when it comes to writing IOUs! This is going to cut off our family’s livelihood!"
The two children got the hint and cried and threw themselves at Ning Jing.
Ning Jing frowned and avoided it. The two children fell to the ground and cried even harder.
When Mrs. Niu saw this, she immediately started to fight, "You all saw it, he beat my grandson! You guys named Su are watching your children being bullied by outsiders!"
Seeing Mrs. Niu's rogue face, Su Bai's forehead jumped, and he pulled the two children up from the ground, "Stop arguing! Xingzhe is a scholar, how can he do anything to take advantage of others? In the future, he will also be punished if he succeeds in the examination.
People criticize him! Even for the sake of his future, this IOU must be written!"
The clan elders all changed their expressions, because Su Bai's words were not unreasonable.
But Mrs. Niu reacted immediately, "Don't scare me! As long as he gives us the house, why can't we have it?"
"No." Ning Jing's face was expressionless.
"You ask Su Liang to come out! See if she wants to see our whole family freezing to death outside!" Mrs. Niu yelled, "Su Liang! Come out! Come out and see your nephew! He won't survive!"
Su Liang put down the pen with an irritable expression and walked out.
As soon as she saw her, Mrs. Niu howled even more vigorously, pinching her two grandsons and letting them cry loudly.
Su Liang pulled Ning Jing behind him, grabbed the pushed child and threw it back. He looked at Su Bai and the clan elders with a cold expression, "My house is the only one in the village? You don't even have an empty house at home."
?If they can’t live in my house, they will freeze to death outside tonight?”
Subai's expression froze, "It's not..."
"Since you all sympathize with Su Xingzhe, value him as a scholar, and think that his future is limitless, why not take him to your home and take good care of him. When he passes the exam, you will naturally think of you." Su Liang snorted, "
All the elders must be very happy with such a good thing, so why should a vicious and cold-blooded junior like me take the lead? Uncle Bai, don't you think so?"
Su Bai was very embarrassed by Su Liang's sharp sarcasm. He looked embarrassed and did not dare to answer.
In fact, Mrs. Niu's house was not in serious damage. They deliberately collapsed it in order to seize the opportunity to occupy Su Liang's house.
But Su Liang is most annoyed by moral kidnapping. A bunch of old guys bring two poor little ones with them in an attempt to inspire her mother's heart?
Sorry, she doesn't have that thing at all.
Even Mrs. Niu's house was deliberately destroyed by her and Ning Jing. Who asked them to oppress and humiliate the little widow and almost drive her to death?
The single-handed counter-kidnapping left the clan elders and Li Zheng speechless.
"I want your house! Your house is the best!" Mrs. Niu's eldest grandson shouted, exposing their robber faces that they used to hide their misery.
Su Liang closed the door tightly and heard Su Bai's voice from outside, "Go back and ask Xingzhe to write the IOU before you come back! Or stay at your brother's house first!"
Then Mrs. Niu started crying and cursing, and the two children cried even more heartbreakingly.
Su Liang's heart stopped. It was impossible for that family to actually write the IOU and buy the house. Su Xingzhe was so animalistic that he even bullied his widowed sister-in-law. What kind of scholar was he?
When the two of them walked to the door of their respective rooms, Su Liang suddenly stopped Ning Jing.
"What?" Ning Jing asked.
Su Liang snorted, "Don't you also want to take the college exam? Take the exam well, it's best to wait until the results come out, or you can make that whole family vomit blood."
Ning Jing nodded, "Okay. I want to eat steamed vegetables tomorrow."
