Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 3
Now is the coldest season, and others stay at home for nothing.Du Jinning walked lightly through the gate of the courtyard, looking at the uneven, old and new villages, and there was no one on the empty dirt road.She hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards the east of the village.

In Yuanshen's memory, when he walked out of the village from the east, there was a piece of wasteland behind him, connected to a big mountain. The Chen family, Du Fangfei, and Du Fangling were reclaiming wasteland and planting corn at the foot of the mountain.The Du family lived a good life in the village, and that was also a good appearance.In fact, even Old Man Du and Niu Shi need to eat corn mush and tortillas for half a year.And these corns were all planted by Chen's mother and daughter.At the west end of the village, Du's family still has ten acres of paddy fields for rice cultivation, which is the place where Du Laotou and Du Laoer's family work.It's winter now, and the Chinese New Year is approaching. The corn and rice have already been harvested, and Du Laotou, Du Laoer and others are all idle at home.Only Chen's mother and daughter had to grow radishes and cabbages at the foot of the mountain, so that Du's second son could sell them to a county town thirty miles away to exchange some pocket money for the Du family.

Searching here in memory, Du Jinning's footsteps paused.

The three-bedroom mother and daughter work all day long and have no leisure all year round. Not only does she have the worst food, she lives in a shabby house, and she wears patches. With her time travel.What sin did Sanfang do in this family and was abused like this? What kind of weird family is this?
Also, what on earth was Chen thinking at the beginning, that she concealed her gender, making her the only male in the third room?
In the cold winter, everyone didn't come out for a walk when they had nothing to do, and Du Jinning didn't meet anyone along the way.When she walked out of the village entrance and walked to the river meandering by the side of the village, she heard two women washing clothes under the bridge talking there.

"... I don't know what evil I did. She is a big girl, but she was married to a fool who can only beat people. Fortunately, she is her own granddaughter, so she is not treated as a human being. The third child of the Du family, is it stupid? Yes, it’s fine for the whole family to be a cow and a horse, but now you just watch your own daughter being abused like this, and you don’t say a word?”

Hearing the word "Du's family", Du Jinning stopped in his tracks.

In this village, there are only two brothers, Du Chensheng and Du Yinsheng, whose family names are Du, and Du Yinsheng, the old man of Du, has only two sons. Obviously, the "oldest of the Du family" refers to her cheap mother, Chen Shi.

"Hey, what can I do? Could it be that she just watched her brother die of illness? The eldest sister of the Du family can't do anything about it. If she doesn't agree to this marriage, Mrs. Du will not pay for her brother's medical treatment and medicine. Seeing that her son is about to die After dying of illness, what can the family of Du's family do? She can only take care of her son but not her daughter."

"It's a crime." The voice was obviously younger, and she lowered her voice, "Grandma, I haven't been married to this village for long, why does the old lady of the Du family dislike the Sanfang family so much?"

"Isn't it..." The old voice suddenly paused, and then said loudly, "Brother Ning, why don't you just lie down at home and run out?"

Du Jinning looked at Mrs. Wang who looked up at her, feeling very regretful.

She smiled shyly: "Grandma Wang, I'm going to find my mother."

"Go home, hurry home."

Mrs. Wang lives on the right side of Du's house, and she sympathizes with Chen's mother and daughter very much on weekdays.Seeing that Du Jinning ran out before he recovered from his illness, she couldn't help standing up from under the bridge, climbed a few steps, went up to the top of the bridge and pulled Du Jinning's arm back, "You are still ill, After all, your mother begged grandpa to tell grandma to get you some medicine and take it. What if you get sick again? Hurry up and go home."

Du Jinning was very confused at this moment, and he didn't have the heart to wander around.She walked back obediently, and said, "Grandma Wang, I'm going home right now, don't drag me."

Only then did Mrs. Wang let go of Du Jinning's collar, and waved her hand vigorously: "Hurry up and go home, don't get sick from the cold again."

"Oh, good." Du Jinning responded and ran back.It wasn't until she ran to the head of the village that she could no longer see anyone, that she stopped and gasped for breath.

The physical condition of this body is so poor that I am out of breath after running for a few steps.Du Jinning panted for a while before calming down.

Her mind was in a mess.

Du Fangfei is going to marry a fool who can only beat people?The reason is to ask Mrs. Du to pay for her medical treatment and medicine?

A delicate and gentle face appeared in Du Jinning's mind.In the memory of the original owner, the elder sister was like another mother to her. The Chen family had to work, and she was brought up by Du Fangfei.She was scolded by the old man Du and the old lady Du, and bullied by the children of the eldest and second child of the Du family, and it was Du Fangfei who protected her.It can be said that she was able to live to such a great age in a difficult environment, mostly due to Du Fangfei's credit.

Now Du Fangfei actually agreed to marry a fool for her sake.

Du Jinning felt very uncomfortable.

She knew that Mrs. Wang and the others were talking about a fool. He was the son of a family surnamed Meng in the west of the village, named Meng Qiang.Meng Qiang is tall and burly, but he doesn't work hard in farming, and hangs out with a group of hooligans in the town all day long.A few years ago, in a fight in the town, someone broke his head and became a fool.It's fine if he's really stupid, but he still likes to beat people. The family married him a daughter-in-law before, and she was beaten to death by him.I don't know when he met Du Fangfei once, and he wanted to marry him into the family.It's just that Mrs. Chen is willing?The old man Du and the old lady Du were afraid that the villagers would say that they forced the third house to death, so they let it go.

Who knew that her illness made Du Fangfei and Chen Shi agree to this marriage.

Thinking of this, Du Jinning felt like a fire was burning in his heart.She is an orphan in modern times, and she cherishes the friendship of her relatives the most.If Du Fangfei ruined her life for her, she would rather not live and give her life back.

Looking at the cold and bleak village entrance, she took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.She decided to go back first, take care of her body, and clear her mind.She didn't believe that she could make a living in modern times as an orphan, and now that she was relived with 30 years of experience, she could still live on a dog.Du Fangfei's marriage is not going to take a day or two, and there is still time to find a solution.

When she returned to Du's house, she met Yao Shi coming out of the room to pick up charcoal fire.Seeing Du Jinning, she let out a "yo" and said sarcastically, "Brother Ning is out for a stroll? Your mother and the others are in the field, why don't you go and see them?"

Du Jinning glanced at her lightly, ignored her, and opened the door directly into the third-bedroom house.

This Yao Shi is the person that Yuanzheng and she hate the most, bar none.
