Ning Huaizhi quickly took out a slingshot from his arms and hit the horse's right leg with a slingshot. The horse felt the pain and fell to the left. Ning Huaizhi did not stop there. He hit the horse's head with another slingshot. The horse fell to the ground, stretched its legs and flapped twice before dying.

The young man on the carriage also fell to the ground because the carriage overturned. When he got up, his face was covered in blood and he kept yelling:

"Who, who on earth dares to harm my horse?"

Jiang Yuwei jumped off the ox cart and hugged Ning Wan in her arms, comforting her softly:

"Wan'er, it's okay. Don't be afraid, Wan'er."

At this time, Ning Zhao also ran over and looked at Ning Wan in Jiang Yuwei's arms with concern and asked:

"Wan'er, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Jiang Yuwei was so angry when she saw the young man with blood all over his face. If the horse hadn't died, it would be my Wan'er who died today. Jiang Yuwei felt a pain in her heart whenever she thought of this.

He put Ning Wan down directly, handed Ning Wan's hand to Ning Zhao and said:

"Zhao'er, take your sister to the oxcart to wait for mother."

Jiang Yuwei walked up to the young man with blood on his face and slapped him hard. She used all her strength in this slap, and the young man turned around on the spot.

At this moment, a woman suddenly jumped out and shouted:

"Oh my God, you've killed someone, you're going to kill someone, my poor young master, are you okay? Where did you come from, you village woman, how dare you lay hands on our young master of the Ge family? I'm afraid you're tired of living!"

Jiang Yuwei was annoyed by the noise of this woman and cursed directly:

"Shut up, you old woman. You came here and started yelling without even asking why. It was obviously your spoiled bad boy who wanted to kill someone just now!"

It took Master Ge a long time to recover from the slap from Jiang Yuwei. When he saw his wet nurse, Nanny Sun, coming out to pick him up, he hurriedly grabbed her hand and cried,

"Madame Sun, this bitch dared to hit me. It hurts so much. Quick, find someone to beat her up!"

Jiang Yuwei stared at the two people in front of her coldly and said angrily:

"You want to kill people on horseback in the street, and you want to commit murder in the street? Are you really so powerful that you can ignore the law? I think your weak young master should not go to school in the future, and just spend the rest of his life in jail."

Ning Huaizhi was afraid that his wife would be bullied, so he drove the ox cart behind Jiang Yuwei. After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, he continued:

"The first law of our dynasty is that anyone who rides a horse in the street and injures someone with a serious crime can be torn into pieces by five horses."

After hearing what Ning Huaizhi said, Young Master Ge hurriedly looked over here. Seeing the murderous intent in Ning Huaizhi's eyes, he couldn't help but tremble. He didn't dare to howl anymore. He directly grabbed Nanny Sun's hand and ran towards the Ge Mansion. He didn't want to be torn into pieces by five horses, and he didn't want to be stared at by the man just now.

Jiang Yuwei turned around and looked worriedly at Ning Wan who was still shivering in Ning Zhao's arms. Her heart began to ache again. Wan'er must have been quite frightened this time. She had to go back and make her something delicious to calm her down.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Jiang Yuwei didn't want to stay in the town any longer, so she got on the ox cart and said to Ning Huaizhi:

"Huaizhi, let's go home quickly. I think Wan'er is very scared."

Ning Huaizhi also looked at Ning Wan with a worried look on his face, then turned around and drove the ox cart towards Ningjia Village.

After the three of them arrived home, Jiang Yuwei asked Ning Zhao to accompany Ning Wan to play, while she prepared dough to make crispy sugar cakes for the children. Ning Wan liked sweets to begin with, and after suffering such a big fright today, she hoped that delicious food could heal her.

After Jiang Yuwei kneaded the dough, she cut it into small pieces. She then rolled it into thin pancakes with a rolling pin, spread lard on it, wrapped it up, folded it several times, and continued to roll it out. She then spread honey on it, wrapped it up, and fried it in a pan.

After the delicious pancakes were made, the two children who were playing with the wild cat in the backyard ran into the kitchen when they smelled the aroma. Jiang Yuwei was relieved to see that Ning Wan was smiling and no longer had the frightened look she had when she came back just now. She gave each of the two children a shortbread pancake and let them go out to eat.

Jiang Yuwei used the oil pan to stir-fry some green vegetables and a dish of twice-cooked pork. Thinking that Ning Zhao should be well nourished when he returned home today, she also made a steamed fish and a braised short ribs.

After finishing all the work, he brought the food to the stone table and called the two children back to the front yard to eat.

As soon as the family of four sat down, they picked up their chopsticks and started to enjoy the food. Jiang Yuwei looked at the bare yard and thought that she should go to the mountain to find a suitable tree to plant in the yard as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too hot in the summer and she would not be able to eat in the yard.

"Zhao'er, tomorrow you and your mother should go up the mountain to collect firewood."

Ning Zhao ate the shortbread and nodded with a smile:

"Okay, mother, go earlier tomorrow and let's collect more firewood. Otherwise, I won't be at ease if you go up the mountain alone while I'm not at home."

Jiang Yuwei couldn't help but laugh when she heard what he said. She picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and put it in Ning Zhao's bowl and asked:

"Have you used up all the pens, ink, paper and inkstone that Mom bought for you? If you have, you must tell Mom."

Ning Zhao chewed the last bite of the biscuit in his mouth and swallowed it. Then he looked at Jiang Yuwei with complicated eyes and lowered his head and said:

"Mom, I originally wanted to study hard in school, so I practiced writing on more pages every day than others. But the pens, inkstones, and paper were too fragile, especially the paper. I asked around and found out that it was really expensive. Later, I didn't dare to use paper anymore. I mostly practiced writing on the ground with a wooden stick."

Jiang Yuwei frowned and said:

"Ning Zhao, since I have the money to send you to school, I also have the money to buy you paper. Don't practice calligraphy on the ground anymore. It will be different from writing on paper. Next time I send you to school, I will buy you some more paper. You can practice calligraphy however you want. Don't worry about wasting paper."

After hearing this, Ning Zhao looked up at Jiang Yuwei and said hesitantly:

"But that paper is really too expensive, and I don't want my family to spend so much money on me."

Jiang Yuwei smiled and touched Ning Zhao's head and said:

"Okay, Zhao'er, mother makes money for our whole family to live comfortably. You don't have to worry about money. After you're full, take your sister to wash up and go to bed. We have to go to the mountain early tomorrow."

Ning Zhao smiled when he heard Jiang Yuwei say this:

"Got it, thank you mom!"

Seeing that the two children had left, Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Huaizhi who was eating with his head down and asked:

"Did you kill that horse?"

Ning Huaizhi looked up at Jiang Yuwei and then lowered his head and said sullenly:

"Well, I'm afraid it might hurt Wan'er."

Seeing that he looked like a child who had done something wrong, Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:

"Well done, Huaizhi, you are amazing. You have been protecting us silently."

After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Ning Huaizhi raised his head and stared at Jiang Yuwei who was smiling at him. Was this recognized by his wife? Thinking of this, Ning Huaizhi's face turned red to the root of his neck. Sure enough, he was not a useless person, and he could protect his family.
