Chapter Seventy-Nine: Again
The Du brothers found a small courtyard on Fangcao Street according to the address mentioned by the little brother, and hesitated outside for a long time without knocking, because they didn't know if the person lived here.
Just when they were undecided, an aunt next door with a vegetable basket came out, looked at them standing stupidly, and asked curiously: "You two also came to Huang Xiaosi to ask for debts?" β
Du Erlang and Du Sanlang looked at her in unison. Du Erlang walked up to the aunt and asked, "May I ask if my aunt knows a little brother named Huang Zhengtian?" β
The aunt sneered twice and said loudly: "Speaking of him, no one in the neighborhood doesn't know him." As he spoke, he pouted at the small courtyard, "Well, that's his house." β
Du Sanlang was puzzled: "What we are looking for is Huang Zhengtian, not Huang Xiaosi." β
The aunt laughed, "Huang Xiaosi is Huang Zhengtian, and Huang Zhengtian is Huang Xiaosi." Look at the two of you brothers, but you don't have bright brains. β
After speaking, he walked away with the vegetable basket, and muttered as he walked, "Huang Xiaosi is idle and doesn't do his job, and eighty percent of the people who come to him are not good people." β
After seeing his aunt go away, Du Saburo turned his head and asked his brother, "Second brother, are we still looking for him?" β
Du Erlang exhaled and said firmly: "Find, we must find, this is the task given to us by our mother, this time we must help our mother bring the eldest brother back." β
Du Saburo nodded.
The brothers knocked on the door of the small courtyard, and someone came to open the door after a cup of tea, and it was Huang Zhengtian who was looking for them to open the door. Huang Zhengtian looked at the Du family brothers outside the door with a worried face, and after reacting, he immediately closed the door.
The Du family brothers looked confused, you look at me and I look at you, I just don't know what to say. About another tea time, the door was opened again, and Huang Zhengtian changed his previous laziness and appeared in front of them neatly dressed.
He knew the brothers' intentions, but he didn't plan to take them back to his home, but chose a teahouse not far from his home.
"Brother Huang, didn't you say that you are the only son in the family, why does the aunt next door call you Huang Xiaosi?" As soon as he sat down, Du Saburo asked suspiciously.
Huang Zhengtian smiled and told him the origin of his nickname.
Huang Zhengtian is the only son in the family, and when he was a child, his fortune teller said that he had three calamities in his life, and he had to be helped by his brothers and sisters to get through it safely. But his parents only got him, and gave the fortune teller a tael of silver in exchange for a way to crack it. is to change his ranking, and there are three non-existent brothers in front of him, so he has a nickname Huang Xiaosi since he was a child.
Hearing this, Du Sanlang said again: "So that's the case, I thought Brother Huang was lying to us." β
"San Lang, what nonsense are you talking about." After hearing his younger brother's words, Du Erlang hurriedly scolded.
Huang Zhengtian's hand holding the teacup paused, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Brother San Lang is naΓ―ve and upright, I like it very much." β
Du Erlang nodded curtly.
Huang Zhengtian didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "What are you looking for me?" β
Du Erlang told him what happened to Ling's house in the morning, and asked him if there was a way to get Du Dalang to agree to leave the capital.
Huang Zhengtian was a little embarrassed, "It stands to reason that this is your family matter, and it shouldn't be up to me, an outsider, to talk too much." Last time, I helped you out of sympathy, but this time I'm going not to get involved. β
Du Erlang hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, we are specifically here to find you today, you have a lot of ideas, please think of a way for us, and we will pay you." β
Hearing the word reward, the corners of Huang Zhengtian's mouth hooked, "Okay, for the sake of getting acquainted with you, I'll help you again." β
As he spoke, he asked Du Erlang and Du Sanlang to come over and whispered a few words in their ears, and Du Erlang and Du Sanlang nodded again and again.
"Okay, you go back and do what I say, and make sure your big brother will go back obediently." He looked at the Du family brothers and said.
Du Erlang took out a purse from his arms and stuffed it into his hand, "Thank you, Brother Huang, this is a little bit of our brothers' heart." β
Huang Zhengtian took the purse, "Go back quickly, don't let your mother wait for a long time." β
The Du brothers immediately left after answering. Huang Zhengtian checked his purse and said with a low smile: "Although the mosquito legs are small, they are also meat, and you can go to Ruyi Fang to take a turn." β
Before going to Ruyifang, Huang Zhengtian thought that he should go to the customer on Yulin Street first to settle the money, and when he was about to leave the teahouse, he thought that the matter was not finished yet, so it was better to wait for two more days.
On the other side, after Du Erlang and Du Sanlang returned to the inn, they informed Cheng of Huang Zhengtian's idea, and Cheng was a little dissatisfied when he heard it, "I just want to take your eldest brother back, I feel embarrassed by the woman of the Ling family even glance at it." β
Du Erlang said: "Mother, the eldest brother is clearly unwilling to divorce his wife now, if he is forced too much, it will be as Ling wishes." Just do what Brother Huang said and bring them all back. As long as you return to Yucheng County, where can the Ling family take care of the Ling family, and she will not be at your disposal at that time. β
The second son's words made Cheng a little moved, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to follow Huang Zhengtian's idea. So early the next morning, she and her two sons went to Ling's house again.
Unlike the last time Xingshi asked for guilt, this time I also bought some pastries to come to the door. When Wen saw the three of them, mother and son, he subconsciously wanted to drive people out, and it happened that Father Ling was at home, and after seeing them, he hurriedly invited people in.
"Erlang and his mother, go to the king butcher to see if there is any pork, cut two catties and come back to entertain guests."
After hearing Father Ling's words to Wen, Cheng knew that he still didn't know what happened yesterday. Seeing Wen's unhappy look, Cheng couldn't help but smile at her, so angry that Wen turned around and left.
Father Ling was just about to scold his wife, but he heard Cheng's words: "Don't bother your mother-in-law, I came here today to discuss something with you." β
Father Ling was a little puzzled, "What's the matter?" β
Cheng said: "It's not a secret, we came here yesterday, but we had a little unpleasant trouble with my mother and Sanniang, thinking that they were all a family, and today I came to the door with a shy face." β
Father Ling looked at Wen, and Wen turned his head weakly.
Cheng continued: "When Da Lang followed his in-laws to the capital, I originally disagreed, but for the sake of the child's future, I compromised. Who knew that when Da Lang came to the capital, not only did he have nothing to do, but he also lost the fame of the show talent that he had finally been admitted to. My father-in-law didn't know, but after the county government posted this, my old man fainted on the spot, and he was still lying in bed when we came to the capital. β
Hearing this, Father Ling's face was a little unpleasant, embarrassed and guilty. After all, how Du Dalang's fame is gone, their family knows it very well.
can only promise dryly: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, as long as Erlang is developed, there will definitely be no loss of the benefits of his son-in-law." β
Cheng couldn't help but scold him for being ashamed when he heard this, but his face was a little more worried, "Of course I know that my in-laws will not treat my eldest man badly, but I still have a matter in my heart." β
Under the gaze of Father Ling, she slowly said her proposal: "Da Lang and Sanniang have been married for almost four years, and there is no good news so far. β
"No, you must not let Sanniang go back." Before Father Ling could speak, the Wen family couldn't wait to object, "Erlang and his father, you weren't here yesterday, you didn't know how bad this woman was, and you actually used seven out of seven to force your son-in-law to divorce his wife, if it weren't for the son-in-law's unwillingness, our third mother would have been..."
Father Ling didn't know that there was such a thing, and Cheng hurriedly explained, "Father-in-law, it's also to blame me for being so angry that I said something like that, I went back and thought about it last night, I did go too far yesterday, so I brought pastries to apologize." β
Du Erlang said: "Uncle Ling, my mother has been uncomfortable because of the eldest brother's loss of fame, so you can forgive her." β
"Yes, Uncle Ling, you don't know in the capital, in Yucheng County, our family has lost face, and my mother is too angry to say anything." Du Saburo echoed.
Father Ling looked embarrassed, and the three of Cheng's mother and son refused to back down, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.
