Chapter 3: Life and Death

Although Du Liniang was prepared, she still couldn't hold back, crying and saying, "Brother, do you really plan to go like this?" Leaving Liniang and two nephews, how can you bear to ......?"

"I'm sorry, it's my brother who broke his trust with you!" Du Yizhi said, but his expression was serious: "Li Niang, my brother is going, but I have one thing to tell you, you can't go back to Los Angeles no matter what, never, you promise me." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"......" Du Liniang was stunned at first when she heard the words, and then she cried and didn't speak.

"Hey...... Brother is also for your good, you can barely survive here, but once you go back, it will be ...... Ahem...... That's it, I don't blame you if you don't agree, I just hope you can take care of your two nephews more! After Du Yizhi said this, he coughed again, this time as if he had drained all the strength of his body, looking very weak, and he looked like he was about to die.

Maybe it was because the original owner Du Yunyang still retained the feelings of the original owner in his body, or maybe Du Xiaojin remembered her deceased father, so she couldn't help but show her emotions and couldn't help crying.

At this moment, Du Xiaojin knew that she was no longer Du Xiaojin, but a girl who was about to lose her father, and a girl Du Yunyang who was about to take care of her younger brother.

Therefore, from now on, she will be Du Yunyang, as for the previous Du Xiaojin, it is no longer something she can worry about. She had to worry about what she was about to face, it was a very burdensome life, and she wasn't sure if she could take on such a heavy responsibility.

Speaking of which, the two brothers and sisters of the Du family are really miserable, although they don't know much about the identities of their father and aunt in the memory of the original owner, but they generally know something. The two of them seem to be a big family in decline, and then they don't know why their family was ruined, leaving only the brother and sister to leave their hometown and settle down in this remote mountain village. Fortunately, the brother and sister are good-looking and literate, so they were still welcomed by the villagers after coming here. In order to make a living, his brother Du Yizhi opened a private school in the village to teach, but the rural people are poor and short-lived, and few are willing to pay for their children to go to school and become literate. Therefore, his private school only has a few children of the landlord's family, and the money he earns is barely enough to live. His sister Du Liniang also embroidered some embroidery with the women in the village, and sold it in the town for money, but fortunately, her embroidery work is excellent, and she can also add some subsidies to the family.

As for Du Yunyang's mother, her memory is completely vague, but she heard his father say that her mother died of illness when she was about two years old. But Du Yunyang heard from the people in the village that his father went out in the village eleven years ago and went out less than half a year ago, and came back two months later with a two-year-old girl and a boy less than a year old in his hands. Needless to say, the girl is her, and the boy is her brother Du Yuncheng.

For the later events, inheriting the memory of the original owner, Du Yunyang also has a general understanding of a lot. When she was five years old, her aunt married Xu Fugui, the only son of the landlord's family, the largest wealthy man in the village. Landlord Xu's family owns nearly one hectare of land, of which sixty or seventy acres of good paddy fields are good, and the rest of the dozens of acres are also good plots. And his family has dozens of tenant farmers, and there are many slaves and maidservants and long-term and short-term laborers in the family. Therefore, Xu Fugui, as the only son, is arrogant, and he fights all day long when he has small assets, and he does not do his job. There happened to be a **** wandering around the town with a few entourages, and I saw Du Liniang who went to the town to sell embroidery.

Although Du Liniang is eighteen years old and has not yet married due to family reasons, after all, she is from a large family, so her beautiful face has a beautiful temperament. That Xu Fugui almost fell in love with Du Liniang at first sight, so he asked his subordinates to inquire about Du Liniang's family affairs, and when he went back to the village, he asked his father and mother to ask him to propose.

Although this landlord Xu is illiterate, he hopes that his family can have a talented man, so he paid a lot of money to let his son go to a private school in the town to study, but his son still didn't learn anything. Now that his son has fallen in love with Mr. Du's sister-in-law Du Liniang in the village, although she is three years older than her own son, she is just a well-born and literate girl, so he is barely satisfied.

It's just that the Xu family came to propose, Du Yizhi said that he wouldn't agree to anything, and Du Liniang was not very willing. It's just that later Xu Fugui was soft and hard, and the landlord Xu coerced and lured, Du Liniang was also afraid that her brother would be affected, and she was also afraid of this hard day, so she agreed and persuaded her brother who did not let go, so that he agreed to this family business.

My sister-in-law agreed to Du Yizhi, but there was no way, so I had to take out all the property in the family, buy a set of barely reasonable dowry for my sister, and send my sister out.

Let's say that when Du Liniang first married into the Xu family, the family treated her well, especially Xu Fugui doted on her. But later, after Du Liniang gave birth to a daughter, her stomach stopped moving after two years. So Du Liniang's miserable life began, first her father-in-law and mother-in-law gave her husband a concubine, Du Liniang couldn't stop it, and then her husband didn't know why she went to the gambling house and flower shop in the town all day long, and she was not at home all day. Later, Xu Fugui gambled bigger and bigger, lost a lot of money, and even sold dozens of acres of fertile land behind his father's back, which made the landlord Xu angry to death.

After the death of the landlord Xu, the situation of the Xu family plummeted, and Xu Fugui did not restrain and continued to gamble. The landlord of Zhou in the neighboring village took the opportunity to use a trick and bought most of the Xu family's land from Xu Fugui. So in just a few years, the Xu family has changed from a rich man's house with 100 acres of fertile land to only half an acre of thin land, and all the money in the family has been lost. The servants and slaves in the family were all dispersed, and even Xu Fugui's concubine in his early years ran away with others, and the mother-in-law in the family was still sick, so she had to be so tired that Du Liniang worked day and night to do embroidery and spin cloth to barely make ends meet.

As for Du Yizhi, he is even more pitiful for his sister but has no choice, he relies on that little bit of restraint, and he also has two children, not to mention life. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten seriously ill later, but I didn't even have the money to take medicine.

Du Yunyang looked at the poor brother and sister in front of her, one was her father and the other was her aunt, although she could only connect with them by relying on the memories of the original owner, she still couldn't help but feel sad. Since she is already Du Yunyang, this is also her relative, they are about to face life and death, how can they not be sad.

Looking at this Du Liniang this year, she is actually just the same as her previous life, but she is tired of life and looks several years older, and her father Du Yizhi is only in his thirties this year, but he is about to be taken away by illness......

"Duck Duck, you promise Daddy to take good care of your brother......" Du Yizhi ninja did not cough, finished a paragraph, and then beckoned Du Yunyang over.

Du Yunyang wiped a handful of tears with her hand, walked quickly to the window, and reached out to hold her father's trembling hand: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take care of my brother." Although he wanted to say something inspirational, say something that he would be fine, and not leave them behind, but looking at the last remaining situation of the person in front of him, it was just a waste of his time to say too much. It's better to promise his last words and let him go with peace of mind.

"Your brother, your brother ......" Du Yizhi wanted to say something, but he used his last strength to no avail, and finally closed his eyes, and the hand held by Du Yunyang also hung down weakly.

"Daddy......" "Brother......"

Du Yunyang's tears broke the embankment again, and she cried in front of the bed, and Du Liniang on the side also stepped forward with pear blossoms and rain on her face, crying out of breath.

Du Yizhi went like this, and before he could finish what he wanted to say, he didn't see his son who was in a coma due to illness for the last time, so he went.
