It seems that you are going to flee from famine, don't be anxious or panic

Originally, the couple were quite satisfied with the only scholar in the village, but since Zheng Ge'er didn't like him, they naturally wouldn't force him.

Duan Zhili mostly stayed at home reviewing his lessons and rarely walked around the village. Ning Chengyong thought that the fact that he didn't know about this was probably the result of his mother deliberately concealing it.

Duan's mother has always been dissatisfied with the fact that Duan Zhili likes Ning Jian, but Ning Jian does not like Duan Zhili. Although the two families have never quarreled over this, they are not close.

As for picking up Duan Zhili to go to school, it was simply Duan Zhili who came to ask for help and even said he would pay money.

Ning Chengyong naturally didn't want the silver and money. He had to give it to someone anyway, so giving it to one person or two people was still a gift.

Although he didn't ask for money, he asked Duan Zhili to help take care of Ning Ru in the academy and to inform them in time if anything happened.

Now that Duan Zhili knew that his brother was getting married, he might as well make it clear to him so that he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

Ning Yu was a little confused after hearing what his father said. Why didn't he tell Big Brother Duan about his brother's marriage? His father's words were also a little ambiguous, and he didn't quite understand.

My brother is getting married, what does it have to do with Brother Duan?

However, seeing Duan Zhili's frustrated expression, Ning Yu felt that the occasion was not right and tactfully did not ask any further questions.

After hearing what Ning Chengyong said, Duan Zhili sat back in his seat with a depressed look on his face, his whole back slumped.

Yes, what's the point of him going down now? Ning Gang just doesn't like him.

He had expressed his feelings implicitly, but Ning Yan rejected them directly.

Even if he were to ask Ning Jian now why he chose Huo Yu, with whom he had only spent a day, rather than someone he knew well, what kind of answer would he expect? It would only be self-humiliation.

Ning Chengyong looked at his face full of despair and didn't know how to comfort him. As a man, he didn't know how to comfort others, so he simply kept silent.

Ning Ru was called out of the carriage to keep him company with his oranges, giving Duan Zhili some space to digest the food himself.

Ning Yu approached Ning Chengyong and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what happened to Brother Duan?"

"I'm heartbroken." Ning Chengyong whispered to him.

Broken heart? Ning Yu opened her eyes wide. She was about to ask when Brother Duan had a lover, but then she immediately realized that the person Brother Duan liked might be her own brother.

Thinking of this, Ning Yu felt that Brother Duan was a bit pitiful. Although his brother was good in every way, he had his own ideas. Even if others liked him, if he didn't like him, there would be no hope.

No wonder Brother Duan was so excited when he heard the news of his brother's marriage. It was very different from his usual polite demeanor.

But there's nothing I can do about it. I only have one brother, and if Brother Duan can't get him, I can only be more open-minded.

Even when Huo was asleep, he still remained very alert to the surrounding environment, so when Ning Chengyong and the others got up, he also opened his eyes.

I originally wanted to turn over and continue sleeping, but when I moved, I realized that there was someone in my arms.

Looking down, he saw that Ning Yan, who had been lying next to him on the bed, had rolled into his arms at some point, one arm still around his waist, and was sleeping soundly.

Seeing this situation, he adjusted his posture, hugged Ning Yan in his arms, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

It is so wonderful to be able to see my wife as soon as I open my eyes.
