Chapter 2748 The Scheme of the Little-Eyed Feng Er

The Ning family was bustling with activity late at night, a veritable commotion. Er Ning and Guo Shi, not wanting to see or hear anything, decided to go to their grandson's room to coax him to sleep when they realized they couldn't persuade him.

At this moment, only the father and son were in the main room.

Why didn't you stop me?

"Oh dear, my land!"

Ning Xuexiang, who was tricked instead of scheming, upset his whole family and sat on the ground, hugging the land deed box and crying incessantly.

Even when his father died, he didn't seem to be crying as heartbrokenly as he is now.

"Yawn~" Ning Kejin was so sleepy that he kept swaying back and forth while sitting there. "Dad, can you please stop fidgeting?"

"Why didn't I stop them back then!"

"There's no way to stop you. You're determined to give the land deed to my brother-in-law. What are we going to do about this?"

These words only made things worse, as they were like rubbing salt into the wound of the old miser, causing tears to stream down his face.

Who is Ning Xuexiang?

They usually carry a manure basket with them when they go out. If they see a corn kernel in cow dung, they will pick it out and wash it without caring about the dirt.

This stingy person has now lost 10 acres of land, which is equivalent to 1/70th of his family fortune. The family business accumulated by his ancestors for generations has been squandered by him. How could he not be heartbroken and want to bang his head against the wall?

"Waaaaah~" She cried so hard, tears streaming down her face, when suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she raised her head with hope. "Son, why don't you go to the Fei family tomorrow morning?"

"Why are you going to the Fei family's house?"

"Go find your brother-in-law. Tell him your dad's drunk today, and everything from before is off the table. Get that land deed back right away!"

"Father, if I just go like this, what will become of the Ning family's reputation?" Ning Kejin was speechless. "You kept saying it was for my sister's dowry, and now you want it back?"

Do you agree?

"I..." Big-eyed man knew he was in the wrong, but he couldn't bear to part with it. How much grain would 10 acres of land yield in a year?
"How about... you give me less!"

"Give him two mu of land, and get the remaining eight mu back!" He said this with a pained expression; he was unwilling to give up even a single inch.

"Alright, alright, I don't care about your business. I'm going back to my room to sleep. Anyway, if you want it, go ask for it yourself. I don't have the face to do that!"

"You...you little brat!" This angered Ning Xuexiang so much that he suddenly stood up, grabbed his cane, and was about to hit his son.

"Whom did I build this fortune for?"

"In the end, isn't it all for you!"

Ning Kejin wasn't so blindly filial; he preferred to fight a small battle but retreat when faced with a major one. Seeing this situation, he dodged and ran straight back into the house.

Only Big-Eyed Boy was left there, stamping his feet and pounding his chest, staring longingly at the land deed box, and finally hugging it tightly to his chest.

She cried herself to sleep in the main room, but caught a cold in the dead of winter. Then, a sudden surge of anger made her fall ill the next day.

The first thing I think about when I open my eyes is my 10 mu of land.

He spoke weakly, "Son, go to the Fei family..."

"Dad, don't worry about it. I'm telling you, you're really stingy to the extreme. The doctor said you're malnourished. We're not short of food, so can you please stop being so stingy?"

"Get out of here! I don't have a spendthrift son like you!"

"Alright, since you can still swear, you're probably fine once you wake up. I'll go back to my room then!"

Ning Kejin dusted himself off and left.

As for Fei Wendian, he was actually quite hopeful. If Old Kou came to claim the land, he could at least watch the excitement; otherwise, it would be too boring to be idle in the dead of winter. But what happened was quite different. He waited all day, eagerly anticipating the arrival of Old Kou, but no one showed up.

it's a pity!
"Wendian, what are you standing there for? Go eat!" Fei Zuoshi was like a patriarch, worrying about this and that, but never thinking about herself. She was completely bound by this family.

"Hey, time to eat!"

After finishing his meal, Fei Wendian walked around in circles in the yard to exercise, while pondering his future path.

……

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

Of course, this "bad news" was directed at Big Eyes. No one expected it to spread so quickly. Within a few days, the whole village knew about it, and he added another 10 mu of land to his youngest daughter's dowry.

Feng Er, who was having dinner that evening, perked up immediately upon hearing about this, and his eyes lit up as he came up with an idea.

"Dad, it's getting dark, where are you going?" Feng Dajiao has been beaming these past two days. He just got his goddess last night, and he didn't expect to get such a great deal as well.

So from the moment this morning started, his face was beaming all day long, as if he'd been showered with compliments. He was smiling the whole time, even more so than during the Lunar New Year!
"I just ate, and I'm feeling a bit full, so I'm going out for a walk!"

"support?"

When Xiao Yanzi said this, the other three, including Ning Xiuxiu, were all dumbfounded. Thin porridge, cornbread, and extremely salty pickled vegetables—how could this make them feel full?

Ning Xiuxiu, the new bride, was treated slightly better, with only two small roasted sweet potatoes in her bowl.

"Father, you..."

"Hey, who's the father here? Do I have to report to you about everything I do?"

"See, I didn't say anything, why are you getting so worked up again, Dad?"

"Hmph!" Feng Er glanced at her and went back into the house to put on what she thought was her best cotton-padded coat, which actually only had fewer patches and looked cleaner than her usual clothes.

The Feng family wasn't exactly poor in the village; they were at least middle class, after all, they owned 18 mu of land. It was just that they were rather stingy, which made their living conditions seem less than ideal.

He wandered around with his hands behind his back until he arrived at the Ning family compound.

He paced back and forth at the door, hesitating whether or not to go in.

"Creak~" The courtyard gate was suddenly opened. It just so happened that Old Kou, who had finally regained some strength, felt that he had missed out on collecting cow dung these past two days and was planning to carry Crazy out for a walk.

"Hey... Feng Er, what are you doing at my doorstep?" Ning Xuexiang's feelings were very complicated when he saw him, and he couldn't bring himself to call him "in-law".

He couldn't bring himself to call him that, but he called Feng Er very affectionately. Seeing that the person was about to leave, he hurriedly chased after him and said, "My dear in-law, what a coincidence that I run into you while I'm out for a stroll!"

Big Eyes visibly resisted the term "in-laws," and even the sight of a lumpy person on the roadside didn't bring him much joy.

He used a pitchfork to put the lump into the basket, and said irritably, "Hey... if you have something to say, just say it!"

The second secretary's small eyes darted around, and he adopted a very humble posture. "I heard you gave Miss Ningning another 10 acres of land as part of her dowry?"

"Who said that? Who said that? Who spread this nonsense?" Ning Xuexiang reacted very strongly, his big eyes even widening. He was extremely sensitive to the land and immediately guessed what kind of tricks Feng Er was up to.

"Hey Feng Er, don't think I don't know what you're up to. If you're thinking of coveting my land, you'd better give up!"

“Even though we’re not in-laws, we’re both daughters, so I’m telling you you have to treat them equally. Ningning is our daughter, but does that mean Xiuxiu isn’t?”

"I..." Just as the big-eyed bun raised his pitchfork to hit him.

"Hey, you two are free?" Fei Wendian saw the two of them as he passed by and, having nothing else to do, came over to watch the commotion.

To be continued...
