God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil

Zining thought about this problem all night.

The next morning, when Zining woke up, no one was home. His sisters and Xie Jia had already made tofu and went to the street to sell it, and his brother-in-law Xin Changfeng had gone to the fields with a hoe.

Zining was helpless. She thought she had gotten up early enough, but she didn't expect she was still late.

Zining got up and went to the kitchen, where he found a bowl of porridge and a pancake left for him. Zining was not used to eating these, but the space was full of heavy dishes, which were very heavy in taste. It was not suitable to eat them early in the morning. These light porridge and side dishes were refreshing.

Zining returned to the table after breakfast. When he saw the books on the table, his head suddenly became heavy again.

He didn't know calligraphy at all, and although he inherited the original owner's memory, he didn't think he had the literary talent and ability to take part in the imperial examinations like the ancients.

Fortunately, the next provincial examination will be in three years, so there are still three years to make up for it. If it really doesn't work, I can only use cheats.

Zi Ning picked up the pen and started writing bit by bit according to his memory. Fortunately, the original owner's muscle memory was deep enough. After practicing a few pieces of writing, Zi Ning's handwriting was almost the same as the original owner's.

Otherwise, when he goes to the academy in a few days, the teacher will notice his changes, and that will be difficult to resolve.

In the afternoon, Zining followed the route she remembered and walked towards the town. She found the place where the Xie sisters sold tofu, but she did not show up, but watched secretly in the corner.

Xie Yi and Xie Pei stood in front of the stall, Xie Yi shouting and Xie Pei packing. As for Xie Jia, he was so distracted that no one knew what was going on.

Xie Yi started selling tofu with her mother when she was young. She was lively and enthusiastic. In addition, she improved the tofu many times, and the taste was one of the best in the town. Therefore, the business of the Xie sisters was quite good.

Xie Pei is gentle and shy. She can't shout and can't make a sound, but she works meticulously and efficiently, and the two sisters work together very efficiently.

However, selling tofu in the town was still not a long-term solution. The Xie sisters had to pay protection fees every day when they set up the stall, 50 cents a day. A piece of tofu was only 10 cents, which was equivalent to giving away five pieces of tofu for free.

The Xie family's tofu could be sold for about 600 coins a day, but there were many people in the family and the miscellaneous expenses were also very high. In addition, Zi Ning's tuition was the biggest expense, and there were also expensive consumables such as pens, ink, paper and inkstone, so they could not save much money in a year.

Moreover, if it rained or encountered bad weather, they could not sell a few pieces of tofu all day, and the tofu they made that day would be wasted. However, the Xie sisters could not find any other way to make a living, so they could only make a living by selling tofu.

Zi Ning stopped looking at the Xie sisters. She planned to find a pawn shop and pawn some of the gold, silver and jewelry in the space for silver to improve the living conditions of the Xie family. Just now, she saw the thin Xie sisters standing in front of the stall selling tofu, and her eyes were wet unconsciously.

It was because she wanted to support him to study that she asked her sisters to go out and do business. She knew that sometimes there would be people who would tease her sisters, so her sisters made themselves ugly every day. But she was obviously at the prime of her life, which girl didn't love beauty?

Zining walked very fast, thinking about how the Xie family would make a living in the future.

"Oh my! Who dares to bump into me?"

Zining was thinking about something and for a moment he didn't pay attention to the road and bumped into someone.

She knew she was in the wrong, so she bowed and apologized, "Sir, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I wonder if you are hurt?"

A group of half-grown boys were walking around, looking no more than 11 or 12 years old, about the same age as Zining. However, Zining was thin and frail due to long-term malnutrition, and was only about 1.5 meters tall. Compared to the boy in front of him who was about 1.6 meters tall, Zining felt like he was surrounded by a group of black bears.

No, those young men should be from well-off families. They were all dressed in brocade and satin, with golden crowns and jade belts, and their faces were as white as the first snow. They all lowered their heads to look at Zi Ning, with tears in their eyes, as if Zi Ning was some new thing.

"It's okay, it's okay." The young man lowered his head and looked at the little boy who bumped into him. The other party apologized gently and it seemed that he didn't mean it. Besides, the boy looked so small. He was an adult and there was no need to make things difficult for a child.

"Hey, Jiang Da, why are you so good-tempered today?" The young man in a dawn-colored robe asked in surprise.

"Hey!" The young man was quite dissatisfied after hearing this. He quickly put away his folding fan and looked at the person who was speaking and said, "What do you mean, Liu San? I have to break this kid's hand today before you are satisfied, right?"

"Kid?" Another young man in an amber robe laughed, "No way, Jiang Da, you don't recognize this boy?"

Everyone's attention was focused on Zining again. Zining also looked confused and pointed at himself. "Me? Am I some big shot?"

"He is not a child. His name is Xie Ling. He is twelve years old this year. He is the youngest scholar in Wujiang County. Oh, maybe even the youngest scholar in Suzhou Prefecture."

I don't know who started the commotion, but someone told the story of Zining passing the imperial examination at such a young age.

"How do I know who he is?"

"Oh, that's right. How would you know if you don't go to the academy every day? You deserve to be the number one playboy in Wujiang."

"Hahaha……"

The group of young men walked away arm in arm again, talking about their own things with smiles on their faces, without even glancing at Zi Ning.

Zi Ning was actually very confused. She didn't seem to know any of the young men just now, and they didn't look like bad people. However, they were only eleven or twelve years old, and they came out of the Bamboo Leaf Pavilion in broad daylight. It seemed that they were undoubtedly playboys.

Zi Ning took out some inconspicuous jewelry from the space and pawned them for about 1,000 taels of silver from the pawnshop.

On the way back, she figured out the source of the silver, and when the time comes she will just tell her family that she dug it out from the landlord's house.

There was a landlord in the county, surnamed Liu. He bought a big house in the county, but the Liu family had dwindled down, leaving only an old man, who seemed to have gone to live with some relatives recently. Therefore, the Liu family in the county is now an empty house.

While he was thinking, Zining had already walked to the back door of Liu's house. Seeing that there was no one around, he climbed over the wall and entered.

Xie Ling's body is really stiff. Although she can chop wood and fetch water at home, she is only slightly better than being able to carry things on her shoulders or lift things with her hands.

Liu's residence really looked like it had not been lived in for a long time. There was a big web on the door, not to mention the dust in the yard and the weeds in the garden.

In order to make her claim of treasure hunting consistent with her plan, Zi Ning stayed at Liu's residence in the county town until dusk before returning home.

After all, it was a dark and windy night, a good time for murder, let alone her, who was stealing buried items.
