But they never expected that their dream would be extinguished before they even stepped over the threshold of becoming a scholar. At this moment, the two of them hated Ning Yan even more.

It was all because of this guy that their family had reached this point.

Ning Chengcai, who had been standing aside and didn't dare to speak, said at this time:

"I told you not to mess with that guy, but what should we do now? If Dafu really marries someone else, how can our family still live in the village with dignity?"

He had been drugged and beaten by Ning Yan before, which left him with a psychological trauma, so now he would take a detour whenever he saw Ning Yan.

Now, his son has done this. Instead of sending Ning Yan over, he has gotten himself involved. Won’t he become the laughing stock of the village in the future?

Thinking of this, he walked to Old Lady Ning, opened the lid of the small box and took a look. When he saw the 20 silver ingots inside, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

He had never seen so much money in his life. Any one of them would be enough for him to buy countless pots of liquor in the town.

Therefore, he pointed to the small box containing silver and said, "Mom, please give me some silver and I will go and take care of it. At least we need to earn back our family's reputation and prevent others from gossiping about us."

Before Old Lady Ning could say anything, she heard Zhang roar, "Ning Chengcai, do you still have any shame? This is the money our son earned by selling his body. If you spend it, how will our son come back?"

Ning Chengcai didn't care about all that. He thought that the rich were the boss, so he didn't wait for Old Lady Ning to answer and directly reached out and took two silver ingots from the box.

Then, as he walked outside, he said, "Mom, I'm going to go out and take care of things. You don't have to wait for me for lunch."

After saying this, the man walked out the door.

Old Mrs. Ning wanted to stop him, but the man had already run away. In the end, she could only quickly close the box, fearing that someone would come to steal her silver.

Seeing Ning Chengcai being so heartless, Zhang lay on the ground and cried out, "Oh my God, why is my life so miserable?"

But no one in the yard paid any attention to her. Instead, they turned around and went about their own business.

In the end, she called Ning Xiu over while cursing and helped her up from the ground.

Ning Lu lay on Ning Yan's back and asked curiously in a low voice, "Brother, what medicine did you give that matchmaker? When did you give it to her?"

He has been living under the same roof with his brother since he came back, and he didn't notice when his brother gave him the drugs.

"Why are you asking this? Do you want to experience it too?" Ning Yan asked.

"Then let's not do that." Ning Yu quickly refused. He didn't want to get a rash on his face. "I'm just curious."

Ning Yan kindly explained, "The powder was spilled on the handkerchief."

Matchmakers all have a habit of holding a handkerchief in their hands and waving it while speaking.

Before entering the room, he knew that the matchmaker would definitely not tell the truth, so after entering the room, Ning Yan took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and sprinkled the powder on Qian the Matchmaker's handkerchief. Then when Qian the Matchmaker waved her handkerchief and spoke, the powder on the handkerchief would inevitably fly onto her face.

As for the powder, he made it by mixing toad venom with some other poisonous flowers and plants to create a powder that can cause skin allergies.

After being sprinkled on the face, a rash will appear in a short time and it will be extremely itchy.

This stuff was concocted by him, and only he could cure it. Going to a clinic would be useless. Going to a clinic could alleviate the pain, but it couldn't cure it, so he wasn't afraid that Qian the matchmaker would turn against him.
