Whether she is in the modern Du family or the Du Mansion in Fengcun, although she has no worries about food and clothing, she lives a very tired life. In the modern Du family, she is just a tool, and in the Du Mansion in Fengcheng, she is a superfluous person, and her aunt wants to get rid of her in every possible way. Comparatively, she actually likes her current life more.

However, there are some hatreds that cannot be let go. Those who deceived her and owed her must be returned. She, Doy, is not a weak person. Since he borrowed this body, he must seek justice for the original owner. That aunt's family still owes a life.

"It's back, tired, aren't you? Sit back and rest! As soon as the two stepped into the courtyard, they saw Liu come out with a kind smile on his face.

"Mother, sister-in-law!" Du Yi was a little embarrassed to go out with Peach Blossom for so long. I haven't done any work at home.

"Aunt Yiyi, hug!" Little Tiger ran over and stretched out his fat little hand to ask Du Yi to hug him.

Ever since Doe gave the boy his own custard for the first time, he had a very good relationship with Yiyi.

Du Yi, who was already a little tired, looked outside, and hugged Xiaohuzi to the chair next to him: "Auntie's hands are sore, is it okay to hug Xiaohuzi at night?" When Xiaohuzi grows up, my aunt will send Xiaohuzi to study, and in the future, she will take the top exam and earn a life for your mother and grandmother. ”

Xiaohuzi nodded as if he didn't understand, and sat beside Du Yi obediently.

When Li Niang heard this, she was very moved. Regardless of whether the young lady can do it or not, at least if she has this intention for now, it will be enough. Unlike other daughters, she will not dislike their family, nor will she complain about their family suffering.

"Aunt Yiyi, is it okay for Xiaohuzi to read to you?" Suddenly, Xiaohuzi jumped out of this sentence, which scared Liniang and Peach Blossom.

"Okay, that little tiger will read what my aunt taught me yesterday."

"Okay, the rooster is so beautiful, the big red crown flower coat, the oily neck and golden feet, I am the first to be pretty. Auntie, is Xiaohuzi reading well? ”

Liniang was startled, and her son really read it out. Super fast and stable update of the novel, this article is by. Is Miss Starter teaching her son to read? Thinking of this, tears welled up in her eyes. Few people in this country are literate. In the village, if you are literate, you must be admired. Even if they can recognize a few words, they will be looked down upon, even their village chief has only been studying for a year.

If the son can learn to read and write with the young lady, when he grows up, it will be relatively simple to find a better job.

It is said that the hearts of parents in the world are pitiful, and Liniang is a typical example. This little tiger is only a little bigger, and she has already begun to worry about his future.

"Little Huzi reads it so well, do you remember the story? Tell Aunt Peach Blossom and your mother and grandma! Du Yi guided Xiaohuzi's memories one by one to deepen his impression.

Xiaohuzi scratched his head, and said with some uncertainty: "There is a rooster, very beautiful, singing everywhere every day, and asking us to compare our beauty when you see anything......"

With a smile on his face, Du Yi bowed his head slightly when Xiaohuzi looked a little similar to asking for help, encouraging him to continue.

"The rooster is embarrassed to hear this, uh...... It cries every day before dawn, urging people over and over again to wake up early and not to sleep lazy. ”

This is the first time Peach Blossom has heard the story, and it is still from the mouth of her little nephew, who is only two years old. My heart was suddenly extremely complicated, some proud, some envious.

"Xiaohuzi said it so well, when you finish dinner in the evening, my aunt will tell you another story, okay?" In modern times, children are educated from an early age. Little Tiger looks like a tiger, but he is still relatively smart. As long as you teach well, in time, you will definitely be able to achieve something in this era.

"Miss, did Xiaohuzi really study and tell stories just now?" Li Niang was a little incredulous, her son had just turned two years old, and he could read and tell stories?

"Sister-in-law, don't call me Miss, I'm also a member of this family now, and Xiaohuzi is my nephew. Before Xiaohuzi goes to school, I will teach him some simple ones. ”

Du Yi's words stirred up a thousand waves in Liniang's heart. His eyes were wide open, and he was full of joy.

"Mother, did you hear that? Miss wants to teach Xiaohuzi to read. Our little tiger is going to study...... Little Huzi, come, kowtow to Miss Yiyi......"

As she spoke, Li Niang pulled up Xiaohuzi, who was originally sitting next to Du Yi, and asked him to kowtow to Du Yi and thank him. Modern reading is only able to afford to read by people who have extra money at home, and at least two taels of silver will be spent on the bundle plus pen, ink, paper and inkstone for a year. And ordinary people only earn one or two taels of silver in a year, and after deducting the expenses of a family in a year, they can save one or two silver, which is a lot.

Xiaohuzi is fortunate to be appreciated by Miss and can be taught by Miss herself, which is a great gift!

In fact, Li Niang also has selfish intentions, she thinks that after Xiaohuzi kowtows to Du Yi, it will be settled. Although Du Yi recognized her mother-in-law as a mother, in their eyes, there was still a distinction between master and servant. Don't talk about anything else, just think that the identity of the young lady is there, and no one can ignore it.

What kind of place Dufu is, other people's families may not know, but the people in their family know it in their hearts. Fengcheng is the second largest city in the Ziyang Kingdom, and before the death of the Lord Du Mansion, he had the identity of an imperial merchant, and the wealth was enough to imagine how much.

I heard that the people who come and go with Du Mansion are all those high-ranking families. Even if Master Du passed away, Du Yi's identity was still there. If one day she wants Du Fu back, then how can she be on their high climb? Besides, her mother-in-law is still her slave, and it is reasonable to help her.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? I taught my nephew how many words to recognize, and I want him to kowtow to me? Sister-in-law, if you want to do this, then I won't follow it! ”

As soon as Liu Shi saw this scene, he said, "Li Niang, you listen to Yiyi." Xiaohuzi has her teaching, this is the blessing that our ancestors burned high incense and accumulated. Miss is talented, Xiaohuzi is taught by her, and she will definitely have a future in the future. ”

When Du Yi heard this, he called himself Miss again, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

"Uh, Yiyi, I'm ...... Can I follow along? Suddenly, the sound of peach blossoms rang in my ears. The sound was so small that you couldn't hear it if you didn't listen closely.

Du Yi was stunned for a moment, and then a smile bloomed on his face: "Peach Blossom wants to learn to read?" Okay, I'll teach you after dinner. Let's start with our own name. ”

"Hmm!" Peach Blossom was a little afraid that Du Yi would refuse, and after hearing her agree, she nodded excitedly. But then he thought of something, and he blushed.

The matter of Due's teaching was thus decided. Peach Blossom is very happy and can't wait to find someone to share the joy in her heart. When his eyes touched his mother and sister-in-law, his face turned red and he said, "I have something to do, so I'll go out first." ”

She was going to tell her brother Zhao that she was going to learn to read. When she learns, she will teach her younger brother. In this way, when recruiting a brother to find a mother-in-law in the future, it will be relatively simple and will be looked down upon.

The sun converged its blinding light and turned into a golden disc. The cloudless sky in the novel is blue, like a clear sky lake. Slowly, the color became more and more intense, like a lake deepening. The majestic mountains in the distance, painted with a layer of golden yellow under the reflection of the setting sun, look particularly magnificent.

"Mother, Huzi Niang, we're back!" Before Jiro got home, he opened his throat and shouted.

Village life is one that starts at sunrise and rests at sunset. Before I knew it, it was evening, and Erlang and Liu Dazhu had returned from the fields.

"Hey, you're back? Wash your hands and get ready for dinner! There's only one dish left, and it's ready right away. Liu stuck his head out of the kitchen and saw that the child's father and son had returned, so he answered.

At the dinner table, Peach Blossom happily announced that she and Xiaohuzi were going to learn literacy from Duyi. Liu Dazhu and Erlang looked at Du Yi's eyes full of gratitude, no matter whether Xiaohuzi has a future or not, they wrote down this kindness.

Du Yi's mouth was dull, and she felt that she was about to forget what the smell of oil and salt was. This dish is directly watered, and even the salt is very small. It won't work if it goes on like this, and sooner or later something will have to go wrong.

Liu Shi noticed Du Yi's movements, frowned, and sighed slightly in his heart. Miss really can't get used to eating, but the food at home can only be like this now, and it's good to be full.

Du Yi swallowed the cake made of black flour with difficulty, lowered his head and took a sip of water, and said, "Dad, second brother, what I told you today, I want to talk to you in detail now." ”

Du Yi wants to make soap, but the lard is very expensive, if it is made of lard, it is estimated that they will all die of distress, it is better to use mangosteen to extract it directly. In addition, she needs to make sodium hydroxide, which is commonly known as caustic soda, and she needs to use a lot of tools.

To do this, she must have the support of her family. After it is made, she will also need their help to sell it in the future, and she will definitely not be able to keep herself busy.

However, the premise of this is to confirm how many mangosteen trees can be used to make soap, and mangosteen can also be sold for money. What is needed most at the moment is how to make money.

If she wants to return to Du Mansion, she must have a backing, and this backing is either power or wealth.

When Liu Dazhu and Erlang heard this, they quickly swallowed the last bite of food, put down the bowl and looked at Du Yi.

"Dad, second brother, I want to know how many mangosteen trees there are in our village, and I need you to help me confirm it tomorrow. What I'm going to do, don't tell the people in the village for the time being. I don't expect to be able to make soap to sell this year, so it will have to be done in the future. I thought that the mangosteen would be sold for a good price at that time, and I would give it to my mother to go to the government and change my identity to a good one. ”

The people of the Liu family didn't know what soap was, and Du Yi didn't say anything specifically, so he didn't care. But when he heard that he was selling for money and giving Zhuanliang, he nodded excitedly. No one wants to be inferior. But that servant is a lowly person, so he has to be inferior, which has always been a thorn in the heart of the Liu family. Now that they heard that there was hope that the thorn would be plucked out, how could they not be excited?

Even Liniang felt that she couldn't hold her head up and be a person because her mother-in-law was a subordinate in her mother's house.

"Dad, if you don't hand over the grain after the autumn harvest, how much silver do you need to pay for it?" Du Yi didn't want to eat any black noodles, she thought that she would eat herself after the family's food was harvested.

If the soap is successful in the future, she can make candles in a row. Either way, a candle is better than an oil lamp. She either doesn't do it, or if she does, she has to monopolize it.

Liu Dazhu sighed, his dark face was full of sorrow: "The tax on grain is calculated according to the land. If our family does not pay food, we have to pay a tax of 560 yuan. There is also a tax for people, except for the little tiger who has not grown up, according to the number of people who have not grown up, according to the number of people who have to teach 500 Wen this year, which adds up to more than one or two silver. But if we don't hand over the grain, where will our family get the money? On the side of the car doctor, he still owes two taels of silver. These pressures almost crushed the only two big men in the family.

But seeing that Liu Dazhu said this, Erlang seemed to be carrying a burden of thousands of catties on his back, and he was crushed all of a sudden.

"Why do you have to pay so much tax?" Du Yi obviously didn't understand, how did this person's tax be calculated?

"The tax is calculated according to the capitation, and everyone in our family has to teach except for the children and his mother who are considered people from the Du Mansion in the government. One hundred and fifty wen for an adult man and one hundred wen for a woman, which is five hundred. ”

Doe didn't quite understand, but didn't say much either. Thinking of the pressure at home, my heart is also heavy.

"Mother, why don't you sell my golden hairpin?" Du Yi didn't know what to do to lighten the burden on the family, and Du Yi's first thought was the golden hairpin in the box.

"No, never. It was Madame's dowry, a thought that Madame had left for the young lady. When Liu heard this, he retorted excitedly.

Du Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but then heard Liu say: "The things in the box, Miss don't want to sell them." Even if I am a slave for the rest of my life, I can't let Miss sell it. As long as the golden hairpin and jade pendant go out, then the Du Ling clan will definitely know. When the time comes, Miss, if you have a case, how can you make the old slave worthy of the dead lord and lady? ”

At the end of Liu's speech, he began to burst into tears, as if Du Yi said it again and wanted her life.

"Okay, okay mother, I'll never say it again. Let's earn it ourselves, don't cry. Trust me, you'll be able to earn it. Dad, when will we pay all this money at the latest? ”

Liu Dazhu seemed to be several years old at that moment, obviously not yet forty years old, but he looked like a person in his fifties and sixties, and even his back was stiff.

"There is still a month to go, and it must be paid before November, otherwise you will go to jail!" Jiro muffled his voice and came.

"A month? Okay, just give me a month. After Du Yi finished speaking, he pulled Xiaohuzi and Peach Blossom and walked towards the courtyard. It was not completely dark, and with some light, Du Yi picked up a branch, wrote the names of Little Tiger and Peach Blossom on the ground, and then taught him by hand.

Liu and Liu Dazhu looked at the courtyard and couldn't help but sigh.

"Mother, I have saved more than 80 articles in embroidery this year, I will give it to you in a while and use it first." Li Niang saw that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were at a loss, so she gritted her teeth and said.

She had saved the money and wanted to pull some cloth back at the end of the year to make new clothes for her family. Now, it seems that it is not. Anyway, let's quit the urgent need first.
