Ning Yan knew since he was born that the two elders of the Ning family disliked his parents. They were the only ones who did all the dirty and tiring work, but all the benefits were divided up by his uncles and aunts.

Moreover, those uncles and aunts were influenced by Old Lady Ning and Old Man Ning, and they did not respect his father at all. When they spoke to and did things to his father, they always had a condescending and arrogant feeling.

His father was also honest, and he was used to being suppressed since he was a child. In addition, he was instigated and brainwashed by the two elders of the Ning family, who said that as the eldest in the family, he should take on the responsibility of taking care of his younger siblings and the entire family.

Coupled with the ancient filial piety, Ning Chengyong also believes that it doesn’t matter if he suffers a little and is a little tired. What is most important is to be filial to parents and have a harmonious family.

Therefore, my second uncle's family didn't have to do any work and could eat an egg every day, and occasionally they could even have some meat.

His parents worked so hard every day that they had calluses on their hands and wounds on their hands and legs were common. Even so, they could only eat coarse food and could not even get a bit of meat or bones.

Even when Ning Yan was born, Bai Lifen wanted to cook some rice soup for Ning Yan to supplement his nutrition, but she was scolded for a long time. In the end, because of this incident, Old Lady Ning directly withheld two days of Bai Lifen's food rations.

The three members of the family are thinner and thinner than each other. Compared with Old Lady Ning’s other children, they are like heaven and earth.

His parents were willing to suffer losses, but Ning Jian was not one who was willing to suffer losses, otherwise wouldn't his previous life have been lived in vain?

When Ning Yan was 6 months old, someone tried every means to make Ning Chengyong "accidentally" eat raw cassava on the first day of his labor service. This eventually caused him to suffer from dizziness and diarrhea, and he was unable to get up from the bed, thus avoiding the labor service that year.

Later the next year, he changed to raw konjac, and allowed Ning Chengyong to avoid the corvee labor that year.

It can happen once or twice, but not three times. If it happens again and again, people will easily find out. So when Ning Yan was two years old and could speak fluently, he started to think about instigating Ning Chengyong to separate from the family and break off relations.

It was also during this period that he accidentally learned that his father was not the biological son of Mr. and Mrs. Ning.

However, he did not let his father know at the time, for fear that his father would be sad, and also afraid that the villagers would gossip about his father. After all, the grace of raising him was involved. Most importantly, he was a child and had no evidence, so no one would believe him if he told them.

Later, when he was 2 years and 3 months old, his wish came true and the family was successfully divided.

When the family was divided, the two old people of the Ning family were really cruel. They didn't give any land, any money, or even a bag of rice. They didn't even provide a place to live. Ning Chengyong still had to give the two old people of the Ning family 300 wen of pension money every month.

After the family split up, Ning Chengyong went to the village chief's house to borrow some food and money, which allowed him to temporarily maintain his livelihood.

The day after the separation, Ning Chengyong prepared to go to the town to find a job.

In ancient times, people without education had to do hard labor, but not everyone wanted to do hard labor. If you didn't have some connections, you wouldn't even be able to bear the sedan chair.

After searching for a long time, he finally found a job carrying coffins for the dead, which provided food and paid 20 cents a day.

If you are willing to do it, we will find you again if there is a job as a coffin bearer.

In ancient times, there were many taboos about death. Unless they were relatives or neighbors, no one would be willing to carry the coffin for others.

Since Ning Yan had divided the family property as he wished, he naturally would not let his parents suffer.

So on the afternoon of the day Ning Chengyong came back from finding a job, he asked Ning Chengyong to take him to the mountains, pointed at the herbs and asked him to dig some, and then sell them to the clinic the next day.

He also told him not to carry the coffin the next day and kept saying that he was afraid.

Of course he was just lying about being afraid.

Perhaps he saw through the true faces of the two old people in the Ning family, or perhaps Ning Chengyong's character was not yet dull to the core.

When Ning Chengyong heard Ning Yan say that he was afraid, he said sorry to him with red eyes, saying that Ning Yan had suffered with him.

What Ning Yan was thinking at the time was, I will only suffer for these two years, but Bai Lifen has been suffering with Ning Chengyong for five or six years.

Therefore, he would not let his mother suffer anymore. He wanted to stand up and help Ning Chengyong build a family.
