Moreover, because of this rain, it will take at least until July next year before new grain can be harvested. Therefore, those who have some grain stored at home will naturally have to keep it to survive and ensure next year's food supply.

Seeing that the food at home was running out and the days without food were not far away, Ning Xiaocui took Wang Dali back to her parents' home to ask for some food.

As a result, the Ning family failed to harvest any grain from the few acres of land this year, so naturally there was no grain to give her.

Then she thought of her elder brother Ning Chengyong.

Bai Lifen disliked everyone in the Ning family. When she heard a knock on the door today, she thought it was Huo Yu coming back, so she opened the door.

When Bai Lifen saw that it was them, she chose to close the door directly, but this person acted quickly and blocked the door directly.

Bai Lifen was the only one in the front yard at the time. Seeing the man squeezing in, she had no choice but to let him in first and went to the back to call Ning Chengyong and the others back.

When Ning Xiaocui saw Ning Yan coming in, she wiped the non-existent tears from her face, pulled out a silver hairpin from her head, and said with a smile in the direction of Ning Yan:

"Brother, you didn't inform me of your wedding back then. It's my fault that I, your incompetent aunt, didn't come to give you a gift in time. Take this hairpin and consider it my wedding gift to you."

"No need, keep it for your granddaughter-in-law. Don't wait several years after getting married before you think of giving it to her." Ning Yan said lightly.

Bai Lifen smiled and said, "My brother is right. Don't forget such an important thing when the time comes!"

Ning Xiaocui's face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment when she heard this. She did know that Ning Yan had gotten married, but the two families were not close at that time, and Ning Yan had not informed their family. She was living a good life, so naturally she would not rush to get married.

Now she sent the hairpin just to ease the relationship so that she could borrow some food from Ning Yan's family. However, she didn't expect Ning Yan to not give her any face at all.

Seeing Ning Xiaocui being humiliated, Ning Yu turned around in a good mood to tease Huo Yun next to him. With his brother around, he didn't worry that Ning Xiaocui could take advantage of their family.

Ning Chengyong saw Ning Xiaocui was humiliated and had no intention of helping her. He had lost all good feelings towards the Ning family for a long time.

Wang Dali saw that Ning Xiaocui was embarrassed by just one sentence from Ning Yan, and he instantly disliked this young man.

If Zhang hadn't said that Ning Chengyong's family had harvested the grain early this year and must have some grain at home, he wouldn't have come to their house.

"Brother and sister-in-law, if your family has extra food, I can buy it from you. Just name a price," said Wang Dali.

Instead of going to the county town to buy grain, it is better to buy it from people they know in the village. After all, acquaintances will not adulterate the goods and will not charge such a high price for the sake of face.

Over the years, Wang Dali has become accustomed to a superior life and has a sense of superiority in his heart. Most of the time, he believes that money can get things done.

He felt that Ning Yan's family was not as well off as theirs, so when he came to Ning Chengyong to buy grain, he did not have the attitude of asking for help. He thought that as long as he paid, Ning Chengyong and the others would sell them grain.

Ning Yan said directly after hearing this: "We have no food at home. If you want to buy food, go to another house. Don't come here to disturb my parents."

"It's not your turn to interrupt the adults when they are talking." Wang Dali frowned and scolded.

"Stop preaching here. My brother is the one who makes the decisions in our family. What's the problem? Do you have any objections? If you have any objections, just leave. No one is stopping you." Ning Yu said with a dark face.
