It was already a harsh winter season, but Zhou Tu's family was wearing tattered cotton jackets, especially Zhou Tu's two little daughters, who had already given birth to severe chilblains, like a few rotten carrots, which looked very pitiful.

Zheng Tu smiled and stepped into the main hall of Zhou Tu's family, while Zhou Tu's family stood aside, looking very respectful.

"Third brother, look at who I brought over, old brother."

Zheng Tu sat down on the main seat as he spoke, and took the opportunity to lift the teapot in the hall.

"Third brother!"

Yao Doudou called Zhou Tu very kindly, but Zhou Tu smiled awkwardly.

"Hey, I said you guy, I haven't seen you for a few days, why did you forget our sixth sister, and in this winter, you didn't prepare some hot tea for us, are you so hospitable."

Zheng Tu saw that there was no water in the teapot, so he couldn't help but throw the teapot on the table angrily.

Zhou Tu turned his head and whispered a few words to his wife and daughter beside him, and his wife touched her tears twice more and brought an eldest daughter and two younger daughters into the inner hall.

"The elder brother forgives the sins, the sixth sister forgives the sins, it's all the younger brother's, in fact, the younger brother was going to go out, I didn't think that you would visit suddenly, and I didn't prepare for it for a while, and I hope that the old brother and the sixth sister will take care more."

After Zhou Tu finished speaking, he hugged his fists and apologized, and Zheng Tu nodded slightly.

"I see, it's freezing this day, where are you going with your family?"

Zheng Tu asked curiously, and Zhou Tu said a little stumblingly.

"It's to visit a relative, and he'...... I got sick in the winter, and now I haven't gotten better, so my family is thinking about going over and seeing if we can help if we can help. ”

After Zhou Tu finished speaking, Zheng Tu nodded slightly.

Yao Doudou saw that he didn't seem to have come at the right time, so he smiled and said to Zheng Tu and Zhou Tu.

"Since the third brother still has something to do, then the new moon will not bother, eldest brother, let's not hinder the three families from visiting relatives, I think it is cold today, we should go early and return early, if it is late, I am afraid it will be inconvenient."

Yao Doudou said very intimately, Zheng Tu also stood up after listening to Yao Doudou's words, thinking that since Zhou Tu was so unkind to the sixth sister this week, it was very boring to stay in his house, so it was better to go to the other brothers' houses again.

Just as Zheng Tu and Yao Doudou were about to leave, Zhou Tu's eldest daughter rushed out of the inner hall and hugged Yao Doudou's thigh crying.

Yao Doudou and Zheng Tu looked stunned when they saw this move.

"Third brother, what is your daughter?"

Zhou Tu wanted to come forward to open his eldest daughter, but was picked up by Zheng Tu.

The eldest daughter saw that Yao Doudou was wearing a white fox fur and was extravagant, and she was also a rich and noble person, and it was also because of her lifelong events, so she tried her best to show her affection to Yao Doudou.

"Aunt Crescent, you want to save your niece, my father owes someone someone a loan shark, in order to repay the debt, he actually wants to sell me to the rich man of the neighboring village, the rich man has already begged for a concubine of seven or eight rooms, and he is not satisfied, not only is he old and ugly, it is said that he is still a pervert, if Min'er really marries him, maybe he will be tortured to death by him, Aunt Xinyue, it is rumored that you are the Xuannu Niangniang who saves the suffering, you can save Min'er."

Zhou Min said and hugged Yao Doudou tighter, Zhou Tu saw that his daughter was so embarrassed in front of her brother, and the atmosphere was not good for a while, so he was about to move the stool next to him.

"You don't know how to live or die and lose money, just the so-called life of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, you have to marry whoever Lao Tzu wants you to marry, when will it be your turn to cry out for grievances."

Zheng Tu saw that Zhou Tu was so angry, and he didn't know how to dissuade him.

If Yao Doudou hadn't raised his hand alertly, maybe the stool would have been beckoned to her.

"Hey, third brother, what do we have to say, this child is disobedient, we can teach it slowly!"

As soon as Yao Doudou's voice fell, Zheng Tu also hugged Zhou Tu and said with a slight complaint to him.

"I said third brother, what the hell is wrong with you, why did you fall to the point of selling your sons and daughters, if you have any difficulties to tell my brother, how can my brother not help you."

Zhou Tu was comforted by Zheng Tu, so he put down the stool and sighed lightly.

"Big brother, the rich man of the neighboring village is rich and rich, with fine clothes and fine food, Min'er can not only have no worries about food and clothing in the past, but also help the family, what's wrong with this, this dead girl has never lived a real hard life, she is completely born in the blessing and does not know the blessing, you don't know, the younger brother in order to cling to such a family matter, he did not stuff the matchmaker with less silver."

After Zhou Tu finished speaking, Zheng Tu frowned, thinking that it was difficult for this official to cut off family affairs, since the third brother was sincere in marrying his daughter, there was no need for him to interfere at all.

"That being the case, then good words and persuasion are enough, why bother adding punches and kicks, if you are really injured and disabled, it will not be you who have lost your face."

When Zheng Tu said this, Zhou Tu felt that there was some truth.

Zheng Tu helped Zhou Min up and pushed her back to Zhou Tu, Zhou Tu wanted to raise his hand and slap her, but in the end he held back, just grabbed Zhou Min's whip and pulled her.

"You damn girl, you're getting more and more disobedient."

Zhou Min saw that Zheng Tu and Yao Doudou had no intention of helping her, so she wiped her tears and looked at her father angrily.

If it was in the past, Yao Doudou would definitely tell Zhou Tu what it means to be independent in marriage and free love, but Yao Doudou here was as cold as frost and speechless, maybe she had subtly accepted the ruthlessness and indifference of this world, or she felt that she couldn't put herself in Zhou Tu's shoes, so she had to hold back.

Before leaving, Zheng Tu threw some broken silver to Zhou Tu and asked him to dress up Zhou Min well, after all, he was going to get married, and he didn't look good in a torn jacket, Yao Doudou walked in front of Zhou Min and touched her sideburns with his hand.

"Zhou Min, it's not that my little aunt won't help you, as the saying goes, the Taoist family has a scripture that is difficult to read, if you test others in everything, then you will definitely not be able to live this life, so sometimes you have to figure it out by yourself."

After Yao Doudou finished speaking, he took off a bracelet on his hand to Zhou Min, and said to her very gently.

"The little aunt didn't wear anything good when she came out, so this bracelet should be regarded as a dowry for you, and you can do it yourself."

Zhou Min took Yao Doudou's bracelet, still showing a cynical look.

After Yao Doudou and Zheng Tu left, Zhou Min wanted to throw the bracelet that Yao Doudou gave her on the ground, if it wasn't for Zhou Tu's quick eyes and quick hands, maybe the bracelet would be broken to pieces.

Zhou Tu couldn't help but say, and directly gave Zhou Min a big mouth, and at this time, Zhou Min's mother also walked out of the back room with her two younger sisters.
