Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

After talking on the way back, Shen Ningning found out that the shopkeeper's surname was Wen, and he was originally a scholar.

When he was young, he once thought about taking the imperial examination.

However, his parents were paralyzed one after another, so he had to give up his scientific research and took over his father's inn.

The original inn business was booming after he took over.

It's a pity that his life was not good. His wife died in childbirth, leaving behind a daughter who was born with a weak disease and had to take many expensive medicines every month.

The money earned by the inn every year is just enough to support a family of four.

Fortunately, shopkeeper Wen has always been responsible, never complained, and lived an optimistic life. While taking care of the shop, he took care of his parents and daughter.

The family of four that Shopkeeper Wen has been taking in are also poor people.

In his early years, the man acted bravely and saved a drowning boy. As a result, he became lame in one leg. Not only did he not receive any gratitude from the other party, he was also beaten down by the boy's family, who said that he had pushed the child into the water.

The man's family lost a lot of money. His parents died early, and he only had his eldest brother and sister-in-law in the family. After this incident, the powerful sister-in-law kicked him and his wife out of the house.

So much so that his wife had to give birth to twins in a dilapidated temple and almost died. It was also her good luck that she met shopkeeper Wen who was on his way to purchase goods but was delayed by heavy rain.

From then on, the man lived in Shopkeeper Wen's inn. If he couldn't afford the money, he would help light the fire in the kitchen and run the hall.

His wife is responsible for cleaning the inn, and his two sons are now three years old. They are both very sensible and obedient.

Shen Ningning held one of them and walked behind Shopkeeper Wen.

She thought of what Lord Ma said just now, and couldn't help but comfort her: "Shopkeeper Wen, you don't have to take what that kind of person said seriously. I think you will be blessed soon if you are so kind."

The little boy held by Shen Ningning suddenly raised his head with bright eyes: "Sister, what you said is the same as what the blind old gentleman said."

"What blind old man are you?" Shen Ningning pinched his little face with a smile.

The child's mother smiled and said: "It was an old fortune teller. It was raining heavily that day. He was sitting outside the inn. Shopkeeper Wen was kind and gave him a bowl of hot noodles. He said that Shopkeeper Wen was about to meet a noble man. .”

Shopkeeper Wen, who was walking at the front, didn't take it seriously at all.

"It's been a month. If I met a noble person, I would have met him a long time ago. Besides, he just wanted to say a few nice words to comfort me. He was just kind-hearted. Don't take it seriously. You still have to live your life in a down-to-earth way. I never go there. I want to meet a noble person and make a fortune."

Shen Ningning said nothing, smiled, and like magic, took out two loquat candies from her sleeves and handed them to the woman's two young sons.

When we arrived at Shopkeeper Wen's house, it was a small house, with one entering and one exiting.

The furnishings at home are simple, plain and simple, and the furniture is spotlessly clean.

As soon as Shopkeeper Wen entered the door, Shen Ningning heard a weak female voice: "Why are daddy back? Just now my grandmother and grandfather were still talking about you must be busy tonight, they just drank medicine before falling asleep."

Probably because he didn't want his daughter to worry, shopkeeper Wen simply said: "There's something going on at the inn, so we won't open it tonight."

Shen Ningning raised her eyes and saw a very delicate girl with a figure as tall as a willow tree walking from the corridor.

She was about the same age as her, but much thinner than her, and her complexion was also unhealthy white. There was a small maid beside her.

The girl was a little curious when she saw Shen Ningning.

Shopkeeper Wen immediately introduced: "This girl is from a foreign country and is going to visit relatives. She will stay at our house for one night."

With that said, he turned to Shen Ningning and said, "Girl, this is my daughter, Xiaoman."

Shen Ningning nodded slightly: "Hello, Miss Xiaoman, my surname is Shen."

"Miss Shen." Wen Xiao was blessed, speaking softly and extremely polite.

Wen Xiaoman was very enthusiastic and took Shen Ningning to the penthouse, helped her make the bed, and brought her a clean handkerchief and a copper basin.

"My room is next door. Miss Shen, please call me if you need anything."

Shen Ningning thanked her repeatedly.

Unexpectedly, Wen Xiaoman didn't look like she was going to leave. She stood at the door, looking a little embarrassed.

Like he had something to say.

Shen Ningning was laying out the quilt when she saw this and straightened up: "Miss Wen, do you have something to ask?"

Wen Xiaoman raised his frail face: "Miss Shen, did my father encounter any difficulties tonight? Tonight is the Festival of Welcome the Gods. At this time in previous years, he was very busy. The inn was overcrowded. What happened to him? came back?"

Shen Ningning was startled, not knowing whether she should say it or not.

Shopkeeper Wen is attentive and considerate, and even his daughter is so considerate and sensitive.

Shen Ningning couldn't bear to lie to such a kind father and daughter.

She thought for a while and then told what made Master Ma difficult.

After Wen Xiaoman heard this, he murmured: "As expected."

Her eyes were red, and then she shed tears: "My father is always like this. When he was wronged outside, he was afraid that we would worry, so he never said it. I was the one who hurt him."

"What does this have to do with you?" Shen Ningning was afraid that she would faint from crying, so she quickly helped her sit down.

Wen Xiaoman choked up and said, "Last year, Mr. Ma's eldest son teased me verbally. I was so embarrassed and angry that I slapped him. From then on, his family hated me and always went to the inn to cause trouble."

After hearing this, Shen Ningning felt even more angry.

"Master Ma and his family are actually not good people. It's their fault, not yours."

Wen Xiaoman sighed and lowered his head, his face looking lonely and gloomy: "Who makes us powerless and powerless? We can't compete with them."

After sending Wen Xiaoman away, Shen Ningning lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Do these good people in this family have to watch them suffer?

Shen Ningning sat up directly. Taking advantage of the darkness and everyone was almost asleep, she quietly sneaked into the kitchen.

Sure enough, just like the inn's kitchen, shopkeeper Wen's house had almost no food.

The rice jar is almost bottomed out, there is only a little oil left, and there is still the most precious salt. I soaked the bottomed salt jar in water, and I can't even see any meat.

Shen Ningning rolled up her sleeves and did it!

The rice jar, fill it up!

On the shelf, hang a series of cured meats!

In the meat vat, the best chicken and mutton are neatly stacked.

Four bamboo baskets filled with eggs were dragged out of the fairyland by Shen Ningning.

The girl did not forget to fill the large tank with water and put ten fat fishes in it.

On the shelf next to it, Shen Ningning was filled with fresh and watery vegetables.

After everything was done, she clapped her hands and looked with satisfaction at the kitchen, which was empty just now, but was already filled with food.

But this is not enough.

Shen Ningning knocked on the door of the woodshed. The family of four was about to go to bed when they heard a knock on the door. The woman quickly opened the door.

The scene in front of her almost made her dumbfounded.

I saw Miss Shen standing at the door with a smile, and behind her, there were hundreds of chopped firewood.

"Help me, bring all the firewood in, and leave a place for you to sleep."

The woman was stunned: "Miss Shen, where did all this firewood... come from?"

Shen Ningning coughed lightly: "I asked someone to send it to me to thank Shopkeeper Wen for taking him in."

Hearing this, the woman quickly called her husband up.

While they were carrying it, Shen Ningning suddenly heard two "chirps".

She immediately turned around and looked at a little mouse in the corner, poking its head at the kitchen door.

not good!

The rice noodles she just sent in must not be eaten by mice.

Shen Ningning ran over quickly, and the little mouse was so frightened that it immediately went back into the hole.

Suddenly, the girl thought of an idea.
