Dong Ping smiled reluctantly, and before he could speak, Xizi, who was squatting at the door, was already crying, "Woo, madam, don't let the young master go back to Dong's house in the future, they are too bullying!" They... I snatched the young master's cotton robe, not to mention, I haven't eaten yet, I don't have meat, I only drink bud porridge..."

Dong Rong was annoyed after only hearing two sentences, needless to say, it must be the Niu family and the two sons and daughters of the loser who are making trouble. She slapped her brother hard and scolded, "You dead boy, how many times has my sister told you?" Now that you have a reputation for showing off your talents, you don't rely on your family to study and cultivate, what do you want them to do? Do you expect them to find out in their conscience and treat you as their own brother? ”

Dong Ping lowered his head and didn't speak, but after a while, he put down the tea bowl and hugged his sister tightly, and whispered, "Sister, don't be angry." Dong Yi rolled all over the ground and asked for the cotton robe on my body, Niu said that you are eccentric, don't treat Dong Yi as a younger brother, our father... Our dad isn't at home..."

"Don't tell me this, don't go back to worship your ancestors in any future festivals. Let's set up a tablet and worship our mother! Dong Rong was angry that her brother was soft-hearted and felt sorry for him, so she stomped her feet and scolded, "Our mother was really blind at the beginning, although she was alone, but even marrying a farmer is better than marrying our father." You can't hold your hands, you can't pick your shoulders, and you're useless except for reading and writing. How many years have the two children been beaten and scolded like pigs and dogs, he has never pretended not to know! What is not at home, he just sees..."

"Sister, sister, don't say it. We won't be going back! Dong Ping didn't want his sister to say anything disobedient and unfilial, so he hurriedly hugged her and pleaded, "Dad is not at home, Dad is really not at home!" If they rob me of my clothes, I can come back early, or I will have to wait until the fifth day of the new year..."

"Shut up, I'll deal with this matter myself, you hurry back to the house and change your clothes!"

Dong Rong picked up the torn cotton jacket on his younger brother as he spoke, Dong Ping couldn't, so he had to go back to the house.

Silly Zhu poured a cup of tea and handed it to his daughter-in-law, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to go to Huaishu Village?" ”

Dong Rong looked up and saw the look of anger in his eyes flashing, and couldn't help but smile, "What are you going to do, smash your father-in-law's house?" You're not afraid of gossip, aren't you? ”

"Don't be afraid, no one can bully you and Brother Peace."

Dong Rong's heart warmed when she heard this, and after thinking about it for a long time, she sighed, and she wanted to destroy the Niu clan with her thoughts, but don't say that the etiquette is inferior, she is still an ordinary woman in the end, and she can't be poisoned. But she can still do it if she adds to the blockage of the Niu family.

"Wen Niang, you go and boil a bowl of ginger soup for the second young master to drink. Then I will call Fuzi in, and I have something to command. ”

"Yes, ma'am." Wen Niang, who was originally guarding the door with low eyebrows, immediately responded, and after going out for a while, Fuzi came in to salute.

Dong Rong motioned for him and Xizi to come closer, and then pointed to the torn cotton jacket in the middle of the ground and carefully commanded a lot of words. The two boys nodded their heads from time to time, and finally repeated them obediently, and then respectfully retreated. Silly Zhu listened to a qiē in his ears, and couldn't help but laugh too. His little daughter-in-law is really getting more and more sophisticated...

Besides, Fuzi and Xizi trotted all the way back to a slope, first reported to Steward Zhang that they had borrowed a carriage, and then rushed to Huaishu Village with great fanfare. In winter, only the noon sun is slightly warm, and a group of old men squatting at the base of the wall on the side of the street are gossiping while basking in the sun, which is rare and leisurely. Occasionally, when I raised my eyes, I saw that a carriage was coming, and there was a loud inquiry, and Fuzi did not shy away from it, and replied loudly, "I went to Mr. Dong's house to report the news, and tomorrow my wife and Master Xiucai will come back to live." ”

As he spoke, the carriage kicked and stomped past, leaving the crowd to talk. The Dong family didn't know what kind of good luck they had, not to mention that their son was famous in the exam, even the daughter who married the Cao family heard that she also made a lot of money, and she only hired four or five hundred workers. Tomorrow, I can't say that I have to go to the door to join in the fun, even if it doesn't benefit, I can always mix a piece of dry food and fruit to eat.

The Niu family originally drove Dong Ping out, and he was still a little apprehensive, but when he heard that the little girl came to report that Dong Rong would come back tomorrow, he immediately became arrogant and proud. As long as she occupies the title of mother, let alone a little showman, even if Dong Ping becomes the prime minister one day, she will have to be beaten and scolded obediently and dare not speak up.

Thinking like this, she called her own son to come to her, and the mother and son read a long list one by one, and threw it to Fuzi at the end, saying, "Take this list back, tell your master, if there is one less tomorrow, don't blame me for not letting her enter the door." ”

Fuzi responded obediently, turned around and ran out. Niu's mother and son, together with their youngest daughter who rushed to hear the news, gathered together to think about how Dong Rong could squeeze some more benefits, and they all laughed like crazy. It's a pity that Dong Rong didn't look at the list that Fuzi got back, and directly asked him to keep it and leave it for tomorrow to make a good prop.

Dong Ping drank ginger soup and sweated, feeling a lot better, at this time he was sitting with his brother-in-law playing "Guoguo Daqi Tour" He wanted to ask a few words, but he didn't want to be won by his brother-in-law The last copper coin, so he didn't care about the life or death of his stepmother, and he went to exchange feelings with the dice.

Early in the morning of the second day, Dong's family began to have guests come to the door, and Master Dong was still a little strange, but Niu's rarely welcomed people in, and he was entertained with tea and snacks. Master Dong finally dragged her to hide in the inner room to inquire, and then he knew that his children were going home with a cart of gifts today. He thought that his children had finally wanted to open up, and he was very happy, happy to drink tea and gossip with the villagers, and even hoped that more villagers would come to the door.

But everyone drank tea and drank a stomach, and the flattery was also exquisite, but there was no shadow of the carriage. Someone asked, "Wouldn't it be if you didn't come?" ”

Niu Shi was also a little puzzled, but he still replied, "No, it must be almost there." It's all because I spoil them too much on weekdays, Brother Ping'er is thin, and Sister Rong is also squeamish, both of them can't stand the slightest bit of suffering, and they are walking slowly on the road. ”

When everyone heard this, they flattered and said, "That's it, who in the village doesn't know that you treat their brothers and sisters well, it's really closer than your own child." ”

"Yes, yes. Now that Brother Ping is a good person, and Sister Rong is also married to a good family, it is time for you to enjoy your happiness. ”

Niu Shi was praised and smiled, and pretended to beat his arm and responded, "My arm, I have been sewing a new padded jacket for Brother Ping in the past two days, and I am really too tired to lift it." ”

Everyone was just about to say a few more words of flattery, but they didn't want to remember the sound of horses' hooves hitting the road outside the door. Master Dong's face flashed with joy, he clenched his fists and coughed lightly, sat upright on the chair and did not get up.

Niu Shi pretended to be a loving mother, smiling enthusiastically and wanting to go out. But before she could reach the door, Fukuko and Kiko were already crying and running in.

"Madam, please be merciful, save our second young master's life!"

Everyone was so confused that the second monk was puzzled, and asked one after another, "What's wrong?" ”

Niu Shi also looked into the courtyard suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" What about Sister Rong, what about Brother Ping? ”

Xizi secretly glanced at everyone, sneered in her heart, but her hands suddenly hugged Niu's legs, and cried loudly, "Old lady, even if you don't like the second young master on weekdays, you can't treat him so harshly." I was supposed to come back for the New Year, why did you bear to strip off your cotton robe and kick him out! This is the cold winter of Sanjiu, woo, poor second young master, he finally fell ill when he returned to the orchard despite the wind and snow, and he burned so much that he talked nonsense this night. Our second young master is going to take the top prize, this... What if my brain burns out, what will I do in the future? ”

Everyone was already curious, but now they all understand it. It turned out that the rookie went home for the New Year, but was stripped of his cotton robe by his stepmother and thrown out. How ruthless is this to do this. The weather outside was so cold that tears could immediately freeze into ice bumps, and walking naked on more than ten miles of mountain roads, if you didn't freeze to death, it would be fateful.

Thinking like this, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Niu, as if she was a flood beast, and even took two steps back unconsciously, looking like they were trying to stay away from her and not get contaminated with any dirt.

Master Dong originally wanted to have a long face in front of the villagers, but he didn't expect to wait for two slaps. He was so angry that his face turned pale, and he slapped the table and asked, "Didn't you say that Brother Ping didn't like the bad food at home before leaving?" What the hell is going on! ”

Niu's heart was a little weak, and he tried his best to defend, "Who said that I drove him out, but it was because Brother Yi liked his cotton robe, so I asked him to take it off and let Brother Yi wear it." Besides, I even found him a padded jacket to replace..."

The more she talked, the more excited she became, as if she was really wronged. But before she could continue to argue, Xizi had already pulled a tattered cotton jacket from Fuzi's hand and threw it on the ground, crying loudly, "Old lady, our lady has seen the second young master to the doctor, and the doctor said that the second young master is so sad that he is so sad that he has a cold and grief, and it is best to take back the previous cotton robe and put it beside him, otherwise I am afraid that I will stay sick." Old lady, please be kind and return the cotton robe. ”

Everyone's eyes turned around on the torn cotton jacket, and at the end, the mockery on each face became three points thicker. It is said that the queen mother is a tiger and a wolf, which is really true. I'm afraid that this torn cotton jacket will be thrown to the ground, and even beggars are not uncommon to pick it up, and Niu's can actually take it out and "change" the new cotton robe of Master Xiucai, it's really... What a thick skin!

Master Dong only felt that the green tendons on his head were about to explode, and he couldn't bear to rush to Niu's anymore, pulled her shirt and scolded, "Don't find out the cotton robe, if Brother Ping has a good one, I will divorce you!" ”

Niu was about to respond while struggling, but Dong Yi, who didn't want to hide behind the crowd, ran out with a "whoosh". Xizi's eyes were sharp, and she pointed at him and shouted, "He is wearing our young master's robe!" ”

Dong Yi didn't know if he was used to being domineering on weekdays, or if he really lacked a string in his brain, he stood in the middle of the courtyard and jumped to his feet and shouted, "If I wear this robe, it's mine, and no one will give it!" My mother said that I am the young master of the Dong family, and Dong Ping is a bitch! ”

Everyone in the house laughed when they heard this, their half-brother is a cub, so what is their father? Dog!
