After buying new clothes, Shen suddenly stopped. She pointed to a stall selling sugar gourds not far away: "Mengmeng, let's go eat rock sugar gourds." ”

"Okay." Ning Meng nodded, she was also hungry for rock sugar gourds.

The brother and sister lined up to buy two strings of sugar gourds, and Shen bought a candy man for Ning Meng, and also bought two silk flowers.

Ning Meng took the rock sugar gourd and gnawed it with relish, looking like he was bubbling with happiness, which attracted many people's side eyes. Ning Meng didn't mind at all, they didn't recognize themselves anyway.

Shen looked at his daughter's happy appearance, his eyes were slightly wet, and the corners of his mouth raised a shallow smile: "Mengmeng, after a while, I'll make you a beautiful dress, okay?" She wants to leave the best to her daughter, not to ask her to live a good life like a daughter, but to give her a good childhood.

Ning Meng said vaguely: "Okay." ”

The brother and sister were eating while walking, and when they passed by a shop selling rouge gouache, Ning Meng suddenly stopped.

"Mother, I'll go buy rouge." She remembered that the original owner used to love rouge very much, and she had to apply it several times a day, it was a face control, and she wanted to try the effect of this rouge.

"Okay."

Ning Meng picked out a box of rose essential oil.

Ning Haoyu looked at his sister's happy expression, and felt full of emotion in his heart, his sister was really sensible.

"Mother, this is for you." Ning Meng stuffed the rouge to Shen, "Mother, you have white skin, it's best to wipe this." ”

Shen shook his head and refused: "You can use it, my mother's skin is much fairer than yours." Although she doesn't wear makeup, she insists on exercising every day, and her skin is fair and delicate, which is not inferior to the young women in the village.

Ning Meng insisted: "Mother, you just listen to me." I'm an older sister, so it's right to take care of my younger brother. She knew the Shen family's hardships and didn't dare to expect too much. Reliving a life, she just wants to guard her father and live an ordinary life, not want to soar to become an immortal.

"Okay, good, my mother listens to you, thank you!" After all, the Shen family couldn't resist his daughter, so he had to accept it.

Ning Meng bought another five catties of pork, twenty catties of rice, and two bags of flour. As for the grain, it was impossible for her to sell it unless her head was convulsed.

"Mother, where do you put these things?" Ning Haoyu looked around and found that there was no place to hide things. Combined, the two brothers and sisters are estimated to not have so many supplies.

Shen smiled: "I have discussed with Mengmeng, and after you have saved enough money to buy the land, you will store these things in the grange." "The grange is left by Old Man Ning, it only belongs to Ning Haoyu alone, and no one else has a share, even if Old Man Ning dies, these things also belong to Ning Haoyu.

"Mother, these things are not worth much, you better leave them to the clan to help us deal with them." Ning Haoyu said this a little reluctantly, after all, this is the dowry given to him by the old mansion, and according to the rules, the dowry belongs to him.

Shen glared at him: "Nonsense! Do you think the clan is willing to take care of your bad debts? Your father's death is unknown, this account, many people in the village are staring at it, if it is found out, what do you think will happen? ”

Ning Haoyu also knows this. He pursed his lips, feeling aggrieved.

Shen sighed: "Haoyu, don't blame your father and mother, we are all worried about you." It's so easy for your father and mother to raise you, but I can't let you suffer. What's more......" she lowered her voice: "Ning Xue and Ning Yu are both related." Your father's thoughts, you can also guess, at this time, we can't make mistakes. ”

Ning Haoyu was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "I know." Mother, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. ”

"If only you could figure it out." Shen Shi rubbed her eyebrows, this matter was too tiring for her. She has been a weak and kind character all her life, and she is not suitable for managing such a complicated family relationship, nor is she suitable for being a patriarch, let alone a person in power. All she can do is help her husband and two children as much as possible to protect her family's safety. She was the only one who couldn't change the situation of the Ning family, and she couldn't do anything.

"Mother......

"Shhhh Let's go back quickly. "This place is not far from the Ning family, and I am afraid of meeting the patriarch.

Back at home, Ning Meng couldn't wait to run back to the room and put the burden containing the rock sugar gourd on her back: "Mother, let's go home quickly." ”

"Okay, let's go back." Shen took his daughter and hurriedly walked home, and just halfway through, a man in a blue cotton jacket came up to him, holding a five- or six-year-old doll in his hand.

"Brother Ning?" Shen's eyes widened in surprise, Brother Ning had never set foot in the town, why did he come here today? "Brother Ning, why are you here on this cold day?" Brother Ning has always been a diligent person, and he will never run around when he has nothing to do.

Seeing the Shen family, Ning Wenbo breathed a sigh of relief, he took his nephew and walked in front of the Shen family, showing a warm and jade-like smile: "Third sister, I have something to ask you, can you take the step to speak." ”

"Oh. All right. Shen didn't hesitate and readily agreed. Over the years, Brother Ning has helped a lot, and now that she is asked for help, she will definitely be willing to help.

Ning Wenbo beckoned to his nephew: "Aze, go outside and play for a while." ”

"Oh, goodbye, grandpa." Aze waved his hand at Shen obediently and sensibly, and left with his little short legs.

"Brother Ning, if there is anything, you can ask." Shen is a little strange, Brother Ning seems to have something to hide from her?

Ning Wenbo's face was slightly embarrassed, and he hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking: "Is Ning Haoyu your biological son?" ”

Shen raised his head in shock: "Brother Ning, you ...... Where did you find out? ”

Ning Wenbo lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "Someone told me." ”

He didn't believe that Ning Haoyu was born to the Shen family, because the Shen family's eyes had never revealed the brilliance of a loving mother. He had secretly inquired, and it was indeed not biological. He also found out by chance.

Shen frowned: "Are you mistaken?" Haoyu was born to me, there is no doubt about that. When I married his father, I was already married for the second time, and I didn't even have my stomach moving at that time, how could it be what you think? ”

"I know, but unfortunately there's no evidence." Ning Wenbo's heart was a little lost. He didn't mean to slander the Shen family, he really hoped that the Shen family could be happy.

Shen sighed, "I also wish he was my own child." I don't dislike Haoyu's identity, and I even love him more than anyone else, but it's a pity that ...... "This family will lose in her hands sooner or later."

Ning Wenbo pondered for a moment and proposed, "If you don't mind, you might as well move to the county seat." It's close to the village, so I can take care of you. Ning Wenbo had this idea for a long time, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth.
