Chapter 50: Kowtow and apologize
They are all of the same clan, and they were the same ancestors hundreds of years ago, and Daddy Du didn't have to do anything about Xiucainiang. After all, Xiucai Niang wants to do it in her own home, and she always has to hold a posture of an official old lady outside, although she is not amiable enough in the village, and her character is not good, but she has really never done anything that offends the anger of the public.
The three brothers of the Du family made amends one after another, and Father Du's face improved a little, "It's all the Du family, if your mother makes amends, this matter is naturally easy to say." But, look what kind of attitude your mother has! So far, I haven't apologized a word, and my mother deserves it! My mother fell on the back of her head, which is a place where a lot of money is expensive, and the old lady in Peach Blossom Village has been paralyzed for a few years! If your mother doesn't help find Langzhong, forget it, she even left people alone, and she didn't admit it afterwards! I'm not rare with your few taels of silver, if your mother doesn't kowtow to my mother and apologize, this matter will not be over! β
Du Chaodong nodded again and again, looking ashamed: "It's all my mother's fault, if anything happens to my aunt, the four of us brothers will have to take care of it." After speaking, Du Chaodong looked at the younger brother and pulled, because she was too angry, her eyes were bulging, and begged, "Mother, you apologize!" It's not right for you to say a thousand things and ten thousand, don't you have to know everyone who wants to make trouble to be happy? β
Du Chaonan also persuaded him: "Mother, Yue'er will be married next year, you also think about them!" They're your own granddaughters! β
Du Chaoxi took a dose of cruel medicine, leaned over and whispered: "Mother, the fourth child is going to participate in the government test next year, and the third grandfather will definitely sign it, and the third grandfather and the Du family are closer than our family." Du Chaoxi's voice was small, but Xiu Cainiang heard it clearly.
Xiucainiang's face turned dark, how could she forget that family.
Grandpa Du and the third grandfather are brothers who have not come out of the five suits, and they are brothers for two generations. Daddy Du didn't look at his father who died early, and there was only one uncle to take care of him, but with the pig-killing knife in his hand, he was stunned that he had never been bullied, and it wasn't that Grandpa Du's two brothers helped a lot when the third grandfather was taking the Xiucai exam, and the third grandfather had been taking care of Daddy Du after Grandpa Du's death.
Du Chaobei is a talent, and no matter what level of the exam in the Great Shang Dynasty, the identity certificate issued by the three authoritative clan elders of the same clan must be issued. Otherwise, if you are a person of unknown origin and bad character, who dares to admit you casually, and who knows if you are an assassin sent by the anti-thieves?
The third grandfather opened the Du family's clan study, almost all the juniors in the village, and now he is definitely the top three figures among the clan elders by virtue of age and influence, Du Chaobei wants to go to the exam, and if the third grandfather has the heart to stop it, it can only be three years after three years.
Du Chaoxi's words were huge, thinking that she would not be promoted next year, Xiucai Niang had a pain in her liver and flesh.
No one can stand alone from his son as a big official, even if this person is the third grandfather.
Xiucai Niang's face pulled and her neck stiffened, "It's my fault for this, Du Cheng, I sue sΓΉ if you want to kill or chop whatever you want, if you dare to ruin my son's reputation, I will die at your doorstep!" β
Xiucai Niang finally said a soft word, although the threat component accounted for most of it. Li Zheng Du Changqing hurriedly took over the conversation.
"Now that Du Zheng has confessed, you have paid all the money for Aunt Gao Shan's medicine, Aunt Gao Shan looks fine now, if something really happens, Du Chaodong, your family must also be responsible!"
"Know! Know! β
Du Chaodong's three brothers nodded in unison.
Xiucai Niang was not happy, and muttered in a low voice, "Who will tell you what will happen in the future, who knows if you are already sick?" β
Xiucainiang's voice was not small, Du Changqing chose to take her words as a deaf ear, and scolded the lively crowd on the wall at the gate of the courtyard: "This is all harvested in autumn, and there is no place for a lot of food at home, right?" Every day, if there is any excitement, go forward! It's nothing to do, is it? I tell you that this autumn harvest is of great significance to our Du clan, if anyone makes a mistake for me again in the past few days, don't blame the clan for being unkind! β
Thinking of the autumn harvest, the villagers instantly fed chicken blood, and one by one said that this kind of thing would never happen.
As soon as the onlookers left, Daddy Du stepped forward and said, "The trouble is correct." β
Du Changqing waved his hand, "What's so troublesome, it's a shame that I didn't help the second brother this time!" After speaking, he patted Daddy Du on the shoulder and left.
This matter is not big or small. Du Changqing, who is in the right, doesn't want to make a big fuss at all.
Xiucai Niang is at fault, but she didn't cause much harm to Du Chengniang, at least for now. If something really happens to Du Chengniang, people will say that Xiucai Niang is a femme fatale and has a bad heart, Xiu Cainiang's reputation will be ruined, and she will even be abandoned by the clan. can wait for Du Chengniang to appear in front of people after a while, and everyone will sigh for Xiucai Niang, feeling that Du Cheng's family is unforgiving, forcing a woman to be helpless.
In many cases, because there are no consequences of being too strict, some people can be forgiven for doing something wrong.
Of course, Du Changqing did this for the good of the clan.
Du Chaobei is a talent, not that Du Chaobei has the potential to be a big official, and he can lead the entire Du family to soar. Du Chaobei is a nerd and has a bit of talent in reading, but he has stopped showing off his talents in this life. The third grandfather has long said that Du Chaobei, this child, will not be able to go on in his career at all, but he can be a gentleman in the clan in the future and enlighten future generations. In order to win Du Chaobei, a potential teacher, Du Changqing said that he couldn't make Xiucainiang's reputation worthless.
As for Du Cheng's family, because of the relationship between Master Xile, the clan must not wronged them. Fortunately, Aunt Gao Shan didn't have any big problems this time, if something really happened, it doesn't matter if he is a showman or a gentleman, don't even think about pleasing him.
Li Zheng left, and the remaining two families looked at each other, Xiucai Niang's eyes rolled, and she ran back to her house and closed the door from the inside. She didn't want to kowtow to the dead old woman who killed the pig to make amends!
Xiucai Niang's light and flexible escape action was embarrassed by the three brothers Du Chaodong.
Du Chaodong looked at his two brothers and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Du Cheng, let's go to your house, why don't we have to make amends to my aunt on behalf of my mother." We should also take the money for my aunt's medical treatment. β
Daddy Du and Du Chaodong have a good relationship, after all, the two families are the closest neighbors, and the two grew up together with a bare ass when they were young, although later because Daddy Du lived in the county for a long time, the two became a lot more estranged, but in general it was not bad.
Father Du got the words of Li Zheng and Du Chaodong, and now he is full of apologies when he sees Du Chaodong, and he feels a lot more comfortable.
"Then go to my house!"
In Grandma Du's house, Du Niang was taking care of her, and when she saw the group coming in, it was obvious that the matter had been decided.
After the three brothers Du Chaodong entered the house, they didn't say much, and knelt directly in front of the bed.
Elder Du Chaodong spoke on behalf of his two younger brothers, "Auntie, this incident is all my mother's fault, and we are here to kowtow to you on behalf of my mother to make amends." The three of them kowtowed three times in unison.
Grandma Du knew who Xiucai Niang was, and she still didn't dare to say that she had bad intentions to hurt people on purpose, but this injury was an accident when the two of them pulled the basket. At this time, I saw the three brothers kneeling down and hurriedly sat up on the bed.
"Come on, get up, I'm fine, nothing at all!"
Grandma Du persuaded the three of them for several times before they stood up, learned about Grandma Du's condition in detail, and talked to Daddy Du about the cost of medicine, and the three brothers of Du Chaodong left dejectedly.
