"Of course it's true. It has spread throughout the county. Even the students in our academy have heard about it." Ning Yu said affirmatively.

Of course, the first half of his sentence was true, but the second half was false, because the time was short and the events in the county had not yet reached their academy.

However, it won't be long before they become the target of criticism among students, because scholars will think that this is against moral standards.

When the people sitting at the table heard this, someone laughed and said, "Aunt Ning's family is really amazing. They are willing to do such a thing as selling their children for fame and fortune."

Someone echoed, "That's right, with 200 taels of silver, Aunt Ning's clothes are much better than before.

"The cotton cloth she's wearing must have cost several hundred coins a piece, right? The colors and patterns are really beautiful, but poor people like us can't afford to buy it. This is Aunt Ning's third outfit in the past few days, right?"

"This hairpin on your head must cost a few taels of silver, right?" someone else said.

Ever since Ning Dafu came last time, Old Lady Ning felt that she had climbed up the ladder to marry into the county magistrate's family. She felt that her status was superior to others and that she must not be stingy in her food, clothing and other expenses.

Since she had some money in her hands, she bought a piece of cloth and made a few sets of clothes for herself, Old Man Ning, his favorite second son Ning Chengcai, and her favorite grandchildren.

She also bought herself some jewelry and has been showing it off to the villagers these days.

She dressed up specially today. She was wearing a dress made of maroon fine cotton cloth with floral patterns printed on it, which looked very beautiful.

She wore a chrysanthemum-shaped silver hairpin on her head, which she bought for three taels of silver, and also had her hair done in a bun, which was popular in the town.

Dressed like this, she doesn't look like a country girl, but rather like an old lady from a wealthy family living in the town. Even her words sound bossy, and when she takes advantage of the villagers, it's as if it's her right.

The villagers were quite dissatisfied with their attitude of being a villain who had succeeded, and now when they heard about his son's affairs, they naturally rose up to attack him.

Hearing the discussions of the people around her, Old Lady Ning scolded Ning Yu like crazy: "You are talking nonsense. Our Dafu went to the county to study. It's not like what you said."

"What nonsense am I talking about? You can find out if you go to the county town and ask around." Ning Yu said with a smile.

"I'll tear your mouth apart if I tell you to talk nonsense." Old Mrs. Ning suddenly stood up and rushed towards Ning Lu.

Ning Yu is 12 years old and over 1.5 meters tall, almost the same height as Old Lady Ning. However, he is still growing and is relatively thin, not as strong as Old Lady Ning.

If a real fight breaks out, he may not be able to subdue Old Lady Ning in one move.

But he was not afraid of Old Lady Ning. When he saw her coming, he patted Juzi on the head and hid aside.

After receiving the order, Juzi pushed towards Old Lady Ning who was rushing towards him, and the horns on his head knocked her to the ground.

Old Mrs. Ning lay on the ground in pain, holding her waist and crying out in pain.

Ning Yu didn't care if he hurt her or not. He turned around and looked at Old Man Ning and Ning Chengcai, raised his chin proudly and said, "If you don't leave, I will let my Orange ask you to leave."

Ning Chengcai ran away upon hearing this. The bull was too powerful and he couldn't beat it.

Old Master Ning also frowned, cursed "evil creature", and stood up and left in shame.

Old Mrs. Ning was lying on the ground. Seeing that no one was there to help her, she had no choice but to get up by herself, holding her waist and walking slowly.
