God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil
Chapter 181 The Cannon Fodder Scholar in the Imperial Examination 4
Zi Ning randomly found a place to dig, and then when he saw that the time was almost up, he prepared to climb over the wall and get out.
However, she seemed to vaguely hear the sound of "Xiu Xiu", as if someone was practicing sword. The sound was quite loud, but it had nothing to do with her.
Zi Ning grabbed the edge of the wall and was about to lift his legs up when he felt a cool breeze coming from behind. A strong wind blew past and his hair was blown in front of his eyes.
Afterwards, Zi Ning felt as if there was a sharp object pressing against his neck from behind. The next second, he would be covered in blood.
"It's you!" The man pulled Zining over and took a look at his face, but the threat behind him did not relax at all.
"Do you know me?" Zining timidly glanced at the person who was pulling his arm vigorously, "Oh, you are Jiang Da, we met this afternoon."
The man was Jiang Da, whom Zining accidentally bumped into in the afternoon. He had thick eyebrows, round eyes, thin lips and a straight nose, and was staring straight at Zining.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Suining was feeling uneasy. When he was unhappy in the past, he would find a deserted place to practice swordplay and vent his anger. Recently, he found that Liu's house was deserted and it was a good place. He didn't expect to encounter a peeping Tom today. How much did he see?
Zining noticed Jiang Suining's dangerous eyes. The young man narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Zining. However, he was still young and didn't know how to disguise himself, so Zining saw some prying in his eyes.
"I heard a few days ago that there were some jewels buried in the Liu family's backyard, so I took the risk to come and check it out today. Look at my hands." Zining obediently stretched out his hands, his nails still embedded in the dirt he had just dug, and they were dirty.
Jiang Suining took a quick glance and when he looked up he accidentally met Zining's pitiful eyes.
"You are a scholar, why do you do such sneaky things?" Jiang Suining regretted asking this question, because Zining looked like a child from a poor family.
He was obviously twelve years old, but he was so small. The robe he wore was faded from washing, and the sleeve he was holding was obviously rubbed frequently, and it felt much thinner than the other parts of the clothes...
"I didn't find anything, did I? What are you doing here? This is the home of Landlord Liu. Why are you, a young master of the Jiang family, here?"
Zining looked at Jiang Suining with a puzzled look, as if he couldn't understand, and his little head tilted to one side.
"None of your business." Jiang Suining didn't want to talk to Zining any more and let her go. "If you dare to say one more word about what happened today, I will not let you off!"
Jiang Suining left after saying these harsh words. Although he was young, he had great martial arts skills. He walked on the rain without leaving any trace and disappeared in a flash.
Zi Ning picked up his clothes that had been pulled away, climbed over the wall in a panic, and hurried home.
The Xie family was in a state of unrest at the moment, for a simple reason: it was already past dinner time, Xie Ling had not returned home yet, and Xie Yi was pacing back and forth at the entrance of the village anxiously.
Zi Ning was afraid that his sisters at home would worry, so he hurried home, his steps were very fast. Unfortunately, the village was a bit far away, and before he reached the village entrance, he saw a petite figure.
"Sister, why are you waiting for me here? It's so dark and it's so dangerous for you to be outside alone!" Zi Ning felt distressed. His sister was such a weak girl, waiting for him outside so late at night. He didn't know how long she had been waiting. She wondered if she was scared. He deserved to die for making his beautiful sister worry about him.
"Sanlang, you're finally back. I was really afraid that you would be like your father and never come back." Xie Yi is such a strong and determined man, but at this moment, his eyes were red in front of Zining and his voice choked with sobs.
"Sister, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for making you worry. But, there's good news. Let's go home quickly." Zining took Xie Yi's hand and took her home.
Xie Yi blushed and followed her brother home obediently. It seemed that her brother had never been so close to her since he grew up.
When Zi Ning returned home, he called all the family members to the table, closed the doors and windows, and whispered, "Eldest sister, I went to Landlord Liu's house today and found these."
Zi Ning opened the bag he brought back, and there were five hundred taels of silver inside.
"Oh my God, Sanlang, where did so much silver come from?" Xie Yi was extremely surprised. She was really afraid that her brother had done something bad.
The expressions of the whole family were basically the same as Xie Yi's. Even Xin Changfeng, who usually didn't talk much, looked surprised at this moment.
However, there was no unnatural expression of greed or covetousness in his eyes. His eyes were clear and open, but he had never seen so much silver before and was a little overwhelmed.
Well, my sister-in-law is okay. Zi Ning silently gave Xin Changfeng extra points in his heart.
"That's what happened. That day, I accidentally heard someone say that there was silver buried in the Liu family's backyard. I was surprised and wanted to dig it out, but I didn't dare. With this mentality, I fell ill.
Later, I thought about it and decided that if there was really money on this trip, I would take it; if not, forget it. I went there in the afternoon and unexpectedly found that there was really money. I took it all back when no one was watching.
After hearing Zi Ning's words, Xie Yi couldn't accept the unexpected wealth in her family for a moment. However, she thought about it and asked, "Sanlang, this five hundred taels is not a small amount of money. If the master can't find it, won't he be anxious? You should return it quickly."
Xie Pei thought so too. She felt uneasy spending such money, fearing that someone would seek revenge on her one day.
"Oh, this money was stolen money, buried at Liu's house for the contact person to take. Don't worry, I guarantee no one saw it. Besides, sister, the most important thing now is that we spend this money quickly. We can tell others that my brother-in-law went hunting in the mountains, got lucky and killed some wild animals, and sold them to make money."
Zining was the only man in the Xie family. Although the sisters had been in charge of the family for many years, women at that time were deeply poisoned by the idea that their husbands were the most important thing. Since the only man in the family had spoken, they had no choice but to obey.
"Sister, have you ever thought about how to spend this money? I think the tofu stall should not be run anymore. You've worked too hard." Zi Ning's eyes were burning and sincere, mixed with a little heartache and reluctance. She hoped that her sister could live a better life.
"This..." Xie Yi had thought about other ways to make a living, but she knew that the tofu stall was not a long-term solution.
"I want to open a restaurant. The tofu stall at home is right across from Mingyue Tower, and I see that Mingyue Tower's business is particularly good. I've thought about it before, if I were to open a shop, what kind of shop would I open. But what I want most is to open a restaurant like Mingyue Tower."
Xie Yi began to talk about his ideas.
Zining was very happy. It was best if her elder sister had her own ideas. Otherwise, she was afraid that others might not be satisfied with her arrangements.
Xie Yi's plan was actually quite good. There was no restaurant in the west of the town, and Mingyue Tower was in the east. If he opened a restaurant in the west, he would not be suspected of stealing business. However, merchants valued profits, so even if he opened a restaurant opposite Mingyue Tower, people would not say anything.
