Chapter 9 The Golden Hairpin

The place where Ning Shaoyang was located was the most prosperous area of ​​​​the city. He suddenly called out those few times, which attracted a lot of ridicule.

Of course, some people are envious.

After all, as long as you scold yourself a few words, you can get five taels of silver, which is a good way to make money.

Chen Xianxian's disdain and passers-by's ridicule were not much different from the buzzing sound in Ning Shaoyang's ears, they were just noise.

He bent down and picked up the ingot of silver.

Five taels of silver cannot buy a very good coffin, but it can also buy a good coffin.

He didn't want the wooden sign selling the house, got up and left.

He knew where the coffins were, and after getting the money, he walked there.

Seeing him walking further and further away, Chen Xianxian said to the maid beside him: "Go back to the house, I want to go for a walk alone."

After the maid left, she followed Ning Shaoyang in the direction he went.

But he didn't follow him any closer. After seeing Ning Shaoyang's back, he stopped his steps and followed him from a distance.

After turning two streets, she saw Ning Shaoyang walking into a coffin shop.

Suddenly, I felt a stabbing pain in my heart, and I squatted down, covering my heart.

That coffin shop is the largest coffin shop in Feixian City, and there are dozens of ready-made coffins inside. They look a little scary when placed there.

Ning Shaoyang was just a sixteen-year-old boy. He looked a little strange when he walked into the coffin shop.

However, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop recognized him as the son of the former city lord, and when he saw him coming in with a sad face, he immediately understood what was going on.

This boss was also very shameless about the corruption of the former city lord. He originally thought of making things difficult for the young man, but when he thought about the consequences of death, he sighed and gave up the idea.

What happened to the former city lord is another matter. In recent years, the life of this orphaned and widowed couple has not been easy.

When Ning Shaoyang wanted to buy a coffin, he didn't make things difficult for him. He even gave him a certain discount and sold him a coffin priced at more than five taels.

This coffin was made of good wood. It was quite heavy and not light in weight. Of course, Ning Shaoyang didn't have the ability to get it back alone. The owner of the coffin shop asked two guys to load it on a cart and deliver it to him.

After the coffin was placed in the yard, the two men left.

Even those who work in a coffin shop do not want to stay in a yard with dead people.

What's more, the courtyard where a deceased person lived was extremely deserted, with not a single person keeping vigil. It was extremely intrusive.

After returning home, Ning Shaoyang entered his mother's bedroom and saw the motionless body lying on the bed. He couldn't help but shed tears again.

Kneeling in front of the bed, she called "Mother" and started crying again.

When his mother passed away, he was not with her.

After his mother died, let alone a grand burial, he couldn't even do a wake-up call.

Feeling incompetent.

I feel that I am not worthy of being a son of man.

I feel even more that this world is too ruthless and this heaven is too unfair.

I don't know how much time passed, but I suddenly heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Chen Xianxian.

He was stunned for a moment.

Chen Xianxian's eyes were red, she glanced at him and asked in a low voice:

"When did your mother die?"

There was some choking in the voice.

"This has nothing to do with you." Ning Shaoyang said.

He doesn't feel very good about Chen Xianxian.

Not only did Chen Xianxian use money to humiliate him this time, but two years ago he really had no money and wanted to go to the Chen family to borrow some money to treat his mother's illness. I thought Chen Ji would take advantage of the good relationship between the two families.

, gave some support, but unexpectedly was humiliated by Chen Ji:

"My Chen family's money will not be lent to the family members of embezzlers."

This made him see the harshness of the human world and the indifference of human relationships, which made him feel very bad about the Chen family.

What's more, I heard later that Chen Xianxian had been betrothed to the youngest son of the new city lord's family.

"She used to be very good to me." Chen Xianxian said.

With that said, she walked to Ning Shaoyang's side, knelt down towards Ning's mother's body, and kowtowed three times.

Looking at Ning's mother's body, he suddenly asked: "Are you going to let your mother leave in her old clothes?"

When she said this, she did not look at Ning Shaoyang.

Ning Shaoyang lowered his head and whispered: "No money..."

Chen Xianxian raised her arm, plucked the hairpin from her hair with her backhand, and handed it to Ning Shaoyang:

"This hairpin is gold. Pawn it and buy a better shroud with your mother."

Ning Shaoyang spent a while and finally caught the hairpin.

This is not the time to show restraint, nor is it the time to show integrity.

After taking the hairpin, he whispered: "Thank you."

He didn't want to say these two words to Chen Xianxian, but he had to say them after accepting this kind of love.

"You go out, I'll wash your mother and make her a little cleaner. It's not convenient for you either," Chen Xianxian said again.

"Thank you." Ning Shaoyang said again.

He took the gold hairpin, found a pawn shop, exchanged it for dozens of taels of silver, and then went to a shroud shop to buy the best shroud.

The shroud cost more than ten taels of silver.

After returning, he saw Chen Xianxian still staying in his mother's bedroom.

By this time it was getting a little dark.

"I bought the clothes. If you still have some money left, you can take it." Ning Shaoyang handed the remaining bag of money to Chen Xianxian.

"You can keep it, there will be times when you need money." Chen Xianxian said, "This hairpin was originally given to me by your mother when I was a child. You don't have to acknowledge my gratitude."

At that time, the two families were still in close contact, and Ning Shaoyang was not sure whether such a thing happened.

But whether there is or not, he has to be grateful to Chen Xianxian.

"When did your mother die?" Chen Xianxian asked again without looking at him.

"Last night, when I was cooking..."

Ning Shaoyang whispered.

Chen Xianxian glanced at him: "Are you not around?"

Ning Shaoyang was ashamed, sad, and felt a little wronged. He lowered his head and burst into tears again.

"You go out first, I will put on your mother's clothes." Chen Xianxian said, "Although a lot of things happened later, at least in my heart, she was very good to me. In my heart, she was just like me.

Just like my mother."

After getting dressed, Chen Xianxian walked out of the room and said to Ning Shaoyang at the door:

"I'm going back. The family is under strict control, so there's no way I can send your mother off for her final journey."

When she said this, she still didn't look at Ning Shaoyang.

Ning Shaoyang hummed.

Chen Xianxian paused and then asked: "What should we do next? Do you have a charter?"

Ning Shaoyang shook his head: "I can't recruit anyone. Others say my father is corrupt, and no one is willing to help me."

Chen Xianxian's eyes couldn't help but turn red again, she turned her face to the side where Ning Shaoyang couldn't see, and whispered: "Thank you for your hard work..."
