Chapter 243 Staying at Jiajiagou
Before Xu Qianqian could react, Sun started to curse:
"You bastard, I'm already giving in by letting you come with us to Beijing. If you continue to cling to my husband, I'll beat you to death today."
Mother Wang was frightened by Sun's fierce behavior, and then looked at Jiang Yuwei for help. Jiang Yuwei completely ignored Mother Wang's eyes, and instead took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere, and watched the show while eating them.
Xu Qianqian was not willing to give up after being scolded by Sun, and she directly pulled Ning Chunlin's arm and said aggrievedly:
"Brother Chunlin, Qianqian's face hurts so much. Look at how unreasonable and fierce Sun is. If you go to the capital in the future and take her out, wouldn't it be so embarrassing? Now she can't stand you just being intimate with me. Look at those famous people, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Now you only found me and she treats me like this, are you going to suffer like this in the future?"
As she spoke, Xu Qianqian directly took Ning Chunlin's hand and covered her face which was hurt by the beating, and said delicately:
"Brother Chunlin, look at my face, it's swollen from her slap. Do you think she slapped me? She actually slapped you to show you. She doesn't even take you seriously."
Xu Qianqian's instigation made Ning Chunlin worry about his future, so Ning Chunlin slapped Sun in the face.
Sun covered her face, looked at Ning Chunlin in disbelief, and said with tears in her eyes:
"Chunlin, we have been married for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am? I have always been wholeheartedly thinking about you and our family. Now that Xu Qianqian has instigated you, you want to hit me. Do you really not care about the love we had as husband and wife in the past?"
Ning Chunlin immediately regretted his impulsiveness after hearing what Sun said. Xu Qianqian saw that Ning Chunlin looked unhappy, so she quickly spoke up:
"Sun, you are going too far. You always use our past friendship to pressure our brother Chunlin. I will never say such things to brother Chunlin. If brother Chunlin wants to find more people to serve him in the future, I will never say a word."
After hearing what Xu Qianqian said, Ning Chunlin's sympathy for Sun Shi disappeared immediately. He then said impatiently:
"That's enough. Stop embarrassing yourself here. Get in the carriage. Qianqian, accompany me in the carriage in front."
After Ning Chunlin finished speaking, he didn't care about Sun who was still standing there in a daze. He directly took Xu Qianqian's hand and got on the carriage. Seeing this, Chen Guixiang also hurriedly hugged Ning Xin and called out "Old Man Ning" to get on the carriage.
Aunt Wang sighed helplessly. This young master was a soft-hearted person. A widow from the village could play him around. It seemed that after going to the capital, this young master would not be able to stay still.
Thinking of this, she felt a little sorry for Sun, so she started to persuade her:
"Young Master will have to deal with many people and things in the future, so you should be more open-minded and just do your part. After all, you have a child with Young Master, so if you behave yourself, he won't treat you badly."
Having said that, he got straight into the carriage.
After hearing what Wang Ma said, Sun looked at the carriage where Ning Chunlin and Xu Qianqian were sitting for a while, then she smiled bitterly, looked at Jiang Yuwei and said helplessly:
"You like to laugh at my jokes, too."
Jiang Yuwei didn't know why he said such a thing to her again, but she was too lazy to pay attention to him. She turned around and got on her own ox cart.
Liu, Ning Daya, Ning Wan and Jiang Yuwei were riding in an ox cart together. Goudan was in the front, following Ning Huaizhi to learn how to drive the ox cart. Ning Zhao was riding a horse with his master Ning Zixuan. Ning Zixuan wanted to take this opportunity to teach Ning Zhao how to ride a horse.
Aunt Zhou's family was driven in turns by Tiezhu and Ningwu, while Uncle Youcai was also learning to drive an ox cart. All kinds of situations could happen along the way, and this was what Jiang Yuwei had instructed them to do, so they should all learn to drive an ox cart as much as possible in case of emergency.
The group set out from Ningjia Village in a mighty procession. After walking for a whole day, they arrived at a village called Jiajiagou near dusk. Jiang Yuwei thought it was time to find a safe place to stay. It would be even better if they could stay overnight in a villager's home. If they couldn't find a suitable place, everyone could take turns to keep watch and they could also spend the night in the car.
Ning Zixuan rode in the front and led everyone into Jiajiagou. Unexpectedly, when they entered the village, they saw dilapidated courtyards everywhere. There were no living people walking in the village. The further Jiang Yuwei walked into the village, the more frightened she felt. So she shouted to Ning Zixuan:
"Ning Zixuan, why don't we not go in? We're just staying for one night. We can just find an empty house and stay there. We have to get up early tomorrow morning to continue our journey."
Ning Zixuan felt that what Jiang Yuwei said made sense, so he simply found a yard on the side of the road and pushed the door open. The yard was still in a dilapidated state.
Jiang Yuwei directed everyone to drive all the carts into the yard, and asked them to unload the carts. She told Tiezhu and Ning Wu to take Uncle Youcai, Goudan and Ning Zhao to take the cows and horses out to eat some grass first, so as not to affect their journey early tomorrow morning.
Jiang Yuwei asked Liu, Daya and Aunt Zhou to prepare meals for everyone. As for Mrs. Chen and her family, they followed Aunt Wang to prepare their own meals.
Jiang Yuwei and Ning Wan were busy tidying up the house and making the beds. Jiang Yuwei thought that this village was a little strange, and she had to arrange people to take turns to keep watch at night. There was only one room for sleeping in this yard, and the women slept on the kang while the men slept on the floor, which would be safer this way.
Just when everyone had finished their meal and packed up their things and lay down, they suddenly heard the courtyard door being blown open by a gust of cold wind. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped a few degrees. Jiang Yuwei felt so cold that she shivered all over, so she asked:
"Daya, did you close the gates before entering the house?"
Ning Daya said affirmatively:
"Sister Yuwei, you told me to check the gate before I go to bed. How come it was blown open by a gust of wind? This is too strange..."
