Chapter 8 Disgrace

Ning Shaoyang walked back to the kitchen. By this time, the food had been left out all night and was already cold.

He was not hot, so he ate the cold food, chewed it mechanically, and then swallowed it.

Now he can no longer taste anything.

After filling his stomach, he took out a wooden board and wrote four big characters on the board with unburned charcoal.

——Sell your house at a low price.

Now that he is physically unable to go to the west of the city to collect Yang Huancao, the only thing he can think of is to sell the yard.

After selling the house, the worst possible outcome would be to live in the open.

If you really can't live, you may die.

The most important thing to him at the moment is to bury his mother's body and lay her to rest.

He had no idea whether the house could be sold.

He didn't know how much he could sell it for.

However, he had no other choice.

Taking the sign, he went to the most prosperous area in the city, sat in a different place, and held the sign in his hand.

The word "low price" on the brand actually attracted some people's attention.

But after asking about the location, he left in disgust.

There is not a single decent house in that area, and only people who really have no choice will choose to buy a house there.

Some people recognized him as the son of the former city lord and showed disgust.

In the past few years, everyone has a consensus that the former city lord was a corrupt criminal and took all the wealth in the public treasury for himself. After the new city lord took over, there was nothing in the public treasury. In order to maintain normalcy

He has to raise taxes on the residents of the city because of his expenditure. He is a big bad person.

Not many people have a good impression of the former city lord and his family. They even think that the former city lord died too late. It would have been better if he had died earlier.

Now the son of the former city lord has put up a sign to sell the house. Everyone can guess that he must have encountered some difficulties.

But what difficulties do they have to do with them?

They would not think about helping the embezzler's family solve their difficulties, but only hope that their difficulties would become greater and greater.

Ning Shaoyang sat there holding the sign, staring blankly as people passed by him one after another, but no one came to buy his house.

I felt very miserable in my heart.

If the house cannot be sold, then tomorrow we can only go to the west of the city to collect Yang-returning grass.

No matter how bad your health is, no matter how dangerous the environment is, you still have to go.

He has no other choice.

He sat here until noon and until the afternoon, but he didn't wait for anyone who wanted to buy his house.

His head hung there, and his heart became increasingly bitter.

Suddenly, a sneer sounded in his ears:

"Ha, isn't this the young master of Master Ning Cheng's family? How come he is in such a position now that he wants to sell all his houses?"

It was a girl's voice, and it was a little childish, but there was deep ridicule and disdain in this childish voice - there was even a hint of anger.

Ning Shaoyang slowly raised his head and saw two women standing in front of him. The one who spoke was one of the girls in red clothes.

He knows that girl.

If his father had not died and continued to serve as city lord, that girl should become his wife in two years.

The girl's name is Chen Xianxian, the daughter of Chen Ji, the head of the Chen family in Feixian City.

The Chen family came here almost when Feixian City was established, and has always been the largest family in Feixian City.

When Ning Shaoyang's father was still the lord of Feixian City, the relationship between the two families was very good. Chen Ji took the initiative to propose this marriage and agreed that Chen Xianxian would marry Ning Shaoyang when he was eighteen years old.

When they were young, Ning Shaoyang and Chen Xianxian often played together and had a good relationship.

At that time, they also knew about the marriage. In their minds, the other person was the person they wanted to spend their whole lives with.

However, something happened to Ning Shaoyang's father later, and he was also charged with corruption. Of course, the marriage was dropped.

Last year, Ning Shaoyang also heard that the Chen family had betrothed Chen Xianxian to the youngest son of the new city lord Cai Qiming.

When he heard the news, he was still a little sad.

But he also knew that there was nothing he could do to stop this.

Chen Xianxian is now sixteen years old and even more beautiful than before.

Seeing her appear in front of him and saying unpleasant words, Ning Shaoyang just glanced at her and then lowered his head.

He is in pain now.

Chen Xianxian's attitude was nothing compared to what he was enduring now, and it could not make him more miserable.

He was in no mood to argue.

Seeing that he ignored her, Chen Xianxian became even more angry and said with a sneer:

"I've long heard that you have no future. In the past few years, you have only sold your property. Now it has declined to the point where you only have a dilapidated house. You still don't know how to find some work to support your family. You have to sell the house.

.The house is sold and you live on the street with your mother?"

Ning Shaoyang was not in the mood to argue with her, but when he heard her talking about his mother and thought that his mother's body was lying on the bed now and there was no way to bury her, he felt sour and tears fell out again.

"Cry, cry, cry, man, why are you crying? You have no food to eat, how can you cry for the food? No wife, how can you cry for the wife?" Chen Xianxian's voice became even more disdainful, "

You are already sixteen years old, and you are still crying here and there without mentioning the sale of your house. Aren’t you embarrassed?"

Ning Shaoyang sat there with his head lowered and said nothing.

"Miss, let's go." Chen Xianxian's maid advised her, "There is no need for you to be angry with such a prodigal son. There is no need to offend him."

"I'm not angry," Chen Xianxian said with a sneer, "I just see the young master from the former city lord's family looking like this, and I find it funny."

Seeing Ning Shaoyang sitting there blankly, ignoring her, she became even more angry, bit her lip, and said with a sneer:

"If you want money, I can give you a way to get it."

Ning Shaoyang suddenly raised his head and looked at her: "You said?"

When Chen Xianxian saw the big dark circles on his face and the tears still hanging on his face, Chen Xianxian ducked his eyes for a moment, took out an ingot of five taels of silver from his body, and said:

"You should shout here three times now, 'Ning Shaoyang is a worthless bastard,' and this ingot of silver will be yours."

Ning Shaoyang closed his eyes.

This is humiliating him.

But it soon opened again.

What about humiliation?

As long as his mother's body can be buried in peace, what does this humiliation mean?

"Ning Shaoyang, this worthless bastard!"

"Ning Shaoyang is a worthless bastard!"

"Ning Shaoyang is a worthless bastard!"

He shouted three times at the top of his lungs.

"Pa", the ingot of silver was thrown at his feet, and Chen Xianxian's extremely disgusted voice sounded in his ears:
