I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl
Chapter 62: Long-term planning
Upon hearing that Ning Qirui was found by Bai Jingzhou, Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi immediately took Bai Jingzhou and his younger brother and sister to the Ning family oil press in Liulin Town.
When they arrived, the Ning family had already passed the most emotional period.
After letting the five members of the Bai family into the house, Ning Da introduced Ning Qirui's aunt, uncle, cousin and cousin in turn. Wen Sanniang held Ning Cuizhi's hand and cried as she thanked the Bai family, especially Bai Jingzhou.
Ning Cuizhi could understand her sister-in-law's feelings. She comforted her in a gentle voice, then called Ning Qirui to her side, took his hand and looked him over.
"You've grown up and lost weight, too much." Ning Cuizhi shed tears as she spoke, "Luckily God opened his eyes and let your cousin run into you at the door of the coach inn."
Otherwise, this child would have to suffer a lot in the future because of his black-hearted adoptive parents.
On the way to the Ning family's oil press, they had already heard Bai Jingzhou talk about Ning Qirui's experiences over the years. So Ning Cuizhi and the others also knew that even though his adoptive parents had already kicked him out of the house, they were still shameless enough to ask Geng Dongjia of the inn for Ning Qirui's wages.
"It's good that the child is back. The physical deficiency will be slowly made up by my elder brother and sister-in-law in the future." Bai Chong said, and stretched out his hand to pull Ning Qirui's other hand over and put it on the pulse pillow lying flat on the corner of the kang table. "Uncle will take your pulse and see if you need to take some medicine to regulate your body."
Ning Da and Wen Sanniang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, let your uncle take your pulse."
The child has been abused in someone else's home for more than five years, and his health must have been badly damaged. Moreover, that family has beaten him a lot, and I don't know if he has any old injuries.
If there are any, they must cure them one by one as soon as possible while the child is still young and has good recovery ability.
Fortunately, Ning Qirui had no other problems except for his poor health.
Bai Chong carefully prescribed a warming and nourishing prescription for him, and then suggested that Ning Da and Wen Sanniang should let him eat better food on a daily basis.
Ning Da and Wen Sanniang nodded repeatedly.
Bai Chong, "Then I'll ask Jingzhou to bring the medicine tomorrow, and you can boil it for Qirui to drink as I just said."
While thanking him, Ning Da asked Bai Chong, "How much is the medicine? I'll get it for you."
Bai Chong shook his head, "They are just ordinary herbs, not worth much."
Ning Da and Wen Sanniang insisted on giving it, so the two adults started to argue with each other.
Bai Jingzhou was no longer surprised by this kind of scene. Thinking that they couldn't fight anyway, he simply pretended that he saw nothing.
While his younger siblings and cousins were focusing on the four adults, Bai Jingzhou quietly moved to Ning Qirui's side and asked, "Qirui, do you want to study, practice martial arts, or learn medicine?"
Ning Qirui was stunned.
Bai Jingzhou said: "You are already eleven years old, it's time to think about your future livelihood."
He had been mistreated by that black-hearted couple for so many years and now he was finally found. His parents would surely do their best to make amends and his elder brother and younger brother would most likely give in and tolerate him unconditionally. But is this kind of pampering and giving in with guilt really the right way to treat him well?
Bai Jingzhou didn't want his little cousin, whom he had luckily found, to suddenly discover after he grew up that he had grown up to be a good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid under the meticulous care and unprincipled doting of his family.
Can anyone be a second-generation rich man? Does the Ning family have enough wealth to allow his cousin to have a comfortable life even if he just eats and waits for death?
Since he has none of these, his cousin should just stand up straight and fight for a happy life in the second half of his life.
Otherwise, even if his parents and brothers do not despise him and are willing to support him for life, his sister-in-law, younger siblings, and nephews and nieces will despise him.
Ning Qirui's lips moved. Although his voice was low, his expression was firm. "I want to practice martial arts and learn how to do business."
The experiences of the past five years have made him an extremely insecure person. Although his parents and brothers are very kind to him, he still prefers to rely on himself for everything.
He wanted to have a lot of money, a lot of food, and strong skills to be able to fight ten or even a hundred people at the same time, so that he would not have to worry about being homeless, hungry, and being beaten and bullied at any time.
He no longer had to carefully read people's faces, no longer had to swallow his anger when being beaten or scolded, and no longer had to go hungry, endure the cold, and cry secretly.
"Then come to my house." Bai Jingzhou said in a gentle voice to his poor cousin who had suffered a lot, "I can ask your sister Wenxuan to teach you martial arts, and also teach you how to read and count, so that you can lay a foundation for doing business in the future."
Ning Qirui hesitated, "This... my parents and aunt and uncle, will they agree to let me go to your house?"
Bai Jingzhou glanced at the four people who had not yet decided the winner and said, "My parents will definitely not object to you going over, but you have to convince your parents yourself."
Ning Qirui was silent for a moment, then he nodded vigorously, "I understand, I will convince my parents as soon as possible."
There weren't many wealthy families who could afford vegetable oil these days, especially since his oil press was located in the town, not in the county or even the state capital. With such a small customer base, his business was naturally slow.
In Ning Qirui's impression, although their family's life was better than that of ordinary poor people, it was not better than that to the extent that they could leave behind enough wealth or connections so that the three brothers could enjoy food and clothing in the future.
His eldest brother is the eldest son and has been running the oil press with his parents over the years. It is likely that his parents will leave this business to his eldest brother in the future.
In other words, he and his younger brother will have to find another way to make a living and start their own business after they become adults.
He is already eleven years old this year. Even if he can convince his parents to let him wait until he is eighteen to get married, he will only have a little more than six years.
After this calculation, Ning Qirui suddenly felt a little more urgent.
He looked towards his parents and his aunt and uncle who were still undecided, hoping that they could decide as soon as possible whether to give him the money for medicine.
Maybe it was because his gaze was too scorching, but after a moment, his parents finally compromised with a look of helplessness on their faces.
They accepted the kindness of Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi, gave up the idea of giving the money for medicine to the two of them, and also accepted the fifty kilograms of white flour, two kilograms of brown sugar, and two little hens that kept clucking because they were caught in the backpack.
These things were given to Ning Qirui by Bai Chong and his wife to replenish his body. Ning Cuizhi pointed at the two overly lively hens and said to Wen Sanniang, "These two chickens lay eggs very frequently. If you feed them well, it should be no problem to pick up three eggs in two days."
