Chapter 41 Change ([-])

"Oh, yes." Du Yunnian admitted carelessly.

"How much money did you give her?" Niu asked staring.

Du Yunnian rubbed his head, "It's not much, sometimes a few copper coins, sometimes a penny or two."

Seeing his son's befuddled appearance, Niu finally couldn't bear it any longer. He picked up the broom in the corner and waved it towards Du Yunnian: "You're such a fool, you don't even know how much you paid? You How much money is there for her to spend? How much money is given to her is a bottomless pit. There is a mountain of gold and silver and she can move it back to her mother's house. I will kill you, a prodigal son."

"Mother, oh mother, don't hit me. You said it wasn't much money, but it really isn't much. It's only one or two taels of silver. She said she wanted to buy clothes and gouache, and if she didn't give it to her, she would make a fuss. I can't help it..." Du Yunian, the eldest, was alone, and was chased and beaten by Niu in the yard, screaming and screaming.

Yao's face turned pale when he heard that Du Yunnian blamed her all the crimes, but he didn't dare to reveal Du Yunnian's background, so he could only say: "The money he gave me, I have a penny. There are no flowers, and they are all in the cracks in the wall. The reason why I ask for money is because Brother Shou is greedy. When I go to the market with his father, I want to buy something to eat. Just prepare some, I really didn’t take the money back to my mother’s house.”

"Fuck, it's just like you, it's strange if you don't take money and good things back to your mother's house."

But Niu didn't believe it.Yao's natal family is in the village, and the whole family is lazy, so they point to their married daughter to help.If it wasn't for Du Yunnian being lazy and greedy for Yao's beauty when he was young, she wouldn't have married such a thing back.

Thinking of this, she turned around, and the broom fell directly on Yao Shi.

Yao shi didn't dare to run around like Du Yunian did, so he could only kneel there obediently, holding his head and being beaten. However, he yelled louder than killing a pig, and all the passing villagers gathered around to watch the commotion.

Du Yunnian and Du Jinshou watched Yao Shi being beaten, ignored them, and fled back into the house.

Du Yinsheng heard that there was a lot of trouble here, worried that Du Jinning would suffer, so he hurried over to take a look, seeing that Yao Shi was being beaten, he didn't bother to pay attention, turned around and went home.

"Okay, I've been making trouble all day long, are you bothered? Old lady, go to the kitchen to see if the meal is ready." Du Chensheng had had enough of the villagers' discussions during this time, and saw that a group of onlookers had come, In my heart, Niu Shi was so troublesome, and Yao Shi was even more angry with that troublemaker, so he stopped Niu Shi angrily, and reprimanded Yao Shi, "Kneel for half an hour longer."

Seeing that Mrs. Yao was kneeling obediently, daring not to make a sound like a quail, Du Chensheng turned his face to Mrs. Wang and others at the door and said: "My daughter-in-law is too lazy, so the old lady disciplined her. It's okay, everyone go back Let's have dinner."

"Your second daughter-in-law, you should be disciplined and disciplined. You are lazy and greedy, and you are picky. You are a troublemaker." Mrs. Wang had quarreled with Yao Shi before, and she always disliked her. Taking the opportunity to put on some eye drops, he left with the crowd watching the excitement.

Yao Shi was half-dead from anger again.

The people in the third room are used to being scolded, and they wish they could be invisible in this house, so as not to be seen by these people and cause beatings and scolding, so no matter how noisy the yard is, Chen Shi and Du Fangfei are in the kitchen, Du Jinning follows Du Fangling, Du Fanghui was in the house, each busy with their own work, not daring to go out to watch the excitement.

Although Du Fangling and Du Fanghui are young, they are very capable. In just a short while, they lined up the planks one by one, and knocked them a few times to form a few wooden walls. Du Fangfei came over when he had time, drove a few piles into the ground, and then erected them.At that time, press the two doors, and basically you're done.

"It's time to eat." Du Fangfei came in from the outside and called them.

"Sister, where are we going to eat tonight?" Du Fangling didn't dare to chase after Du Jinning for fear of causing unnecessary trouble due to the turmoil outside.Seeing the elder sister coming in now, he quietly asked.

"Eat in the upper room." Du Fangfei was also very puzzled, and after speaking, she turned her gaze to Du Jinning.

"Grandpa found me in the afternoon and said he would send me to school."

The three sisters were all taken aback: "Really?" Soon there was joy.

Since grandfather is willing to send Du Jinning to school, it means that he has accepted her.As long as they accept Du Jinning, their life as a third wife will be easier.

No wonder when they came back carrying the planks, Niu didn't say anything, but scolded Yao; even more so, he asked them to cook in the big kitchen, and let them eat together in the upper room.

"It's good now, we finally don't have to live this kind of life." Du Fangling said, turning around and hugging Du Fangfei's waist, tears fell down.

She is more than three years older than Du Jinning, and she is precocious. She already remembered when Du Jinning was born.

She clearly remembers the days before.His father, Du Yuncheng, was the most promising person in the Du family, and he loved his wife and daughter very much. At that time, they were well fed and lived well, and their grandparents loved them very much.She remembered that when she was a child, she had a satin skirt, garnet red, which made the villagers envious of her when she wore it. Everyone praised her for being smart and beautiful; besides, she often had pastries brought back from the city by her father.As the wife of a scholar, the mother does not have to work in the fields, and wears beautiful dresses. She only does some embroidery work at home and takes care of her children. She is a blessed woman who is envied by everyone in the village.

But all this changed when the younger brother was born and the father passed away.

Now, they have finally come to the end of their hardships and can go back to their previous days.

Du Jinning could guess what Du Fangling was thinking.

But the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. In the end, she will resent her "brother" even more.

She couldn't help pouring cold water on Du Fangling: "Don't be too happy, uncle and second uncle will not agree."

Du Fangling froze, and the smile froze on his face.

Yes, it costs so much to study, how could the uncle be willing to send his nephew to study?And if they don't work, the work in the field will have to be done by the second uncle.How could a lazy man like Erbo do farm work?
So, what kind of life did they live before, and they will live the same life in the future?At most, they will not be beaten or scolded.Have dinner with Shangfang?Without Daddy's protection, can there be delicious food and drink in their mouths?Thinking about going back to the old days, it was just a dream!

Seeing that Du Fangling was awake, Du Jinning said, "Let's go, go to dinner, don't keep grandfather and grandmother waiting, or you will be scolded again."

They didn't dare to delay, and followed Du Jinning out the door.
