Chapter 399: Growth
"The farm has recently bought dogs, ordered weapons, and drills, I know there must be a reason for this, but why don't you tell me a word, although I am not as smart as Xiu'er, but I am not stupid, I know who is good to me and who is bad to me. Sister, we are sisters, why can't you tell me? What are you worried about? In the end, Zhao Yan was already shouting at Du Jun with her throat, and released the pain that had been suppressed for a long time and burst into tears.
Hey, my sister, isn't it just the time to be stunned, you cry yarn!?
Zhao Yan is stubborn, not good at talking, and rarely shows the soft side of her heart in front of people, and this sudden outburst broke Du Jun's heart.
What kind of baby, don't throw money out, and the gentle voice comforted Zhao Yan for a while, so that Zhao Yan stopped her tears.
"Come, go wash your face, lest you go out and be embarrassed."
"Thank you", after crying, Zhao Yan regained her shy nature, took the face towel handed over by Du Jun, lowered her head and cleaned her face very obediently.
Hey, what's going on!?
Du Jun sighed.
"Tell me, what do you want to know?"
After a while, the two freshly brewed teacups on the low table volatilized with a faint fragrance, and Du Jun and Zhao Yan sat on both sides of the soft collapse, making a posture of talking heart-to-heart.
"That", Zhao Yan lowered her head and glanced at Du Jun carefully, her voice was small, "Let's talk about the wrong time." β
Before Du Jun could speak, Zhao Yan hurriedly said: "Of course, if the eldest sister is embarrassed, it's okay not to say it." β
Du Jun glanced at Zhao Yan, who bowed his head and was silent, and sighed again, Zhao Yan has a pure heart, which is very good, but after all, she is too young, she has not much experience, and her vision is narrower, and she is more concerned about the one acre and three points of land in front of her.
"Zheng family, what is your impression?" Du Jun did not answer Zhao Yan directly, but asked rhetorically with a different question.
"Grandma's house, you say?" Zhao Yan thought about it slightly, and responded cautiously: "In the past ten days, Xiu'er and I have to go to my grandfather and grandmother to ask for peace in addition to the work arranged by the eldest sister, and there are not many opportunities to meet with my grandmother's family, but my grandmother speaks very gently, and the younger sisters of the second and third uncle's families look very well-behaved and sensible, so it should be okay." β
After speaking, Zhao Yan raised her head and looked at Du Jun unconfidently, biting her lip as if to cheer herself up, and nodded vigorously.
"You said it was okay, didn't you?" Du Jun's tone was flat, and he didn't comment on whether Zhao Yan's words were right or wrong, but changed directions, "At the beginning of the year, I went to Jin'an with my mother, that is, the village where the Zheng family is located, and I promised my mother that there were some things not to tell you and Xiu'er, because you two are still young and can't stand things, but now it seems that my second sister has grown up, so I think you should know these things." β
Belch!?
What do I know I should know?
Or am I unaware?
Zhao Yan involuntarily tensed her back and stared at Du Jun intently.
Du Jun didn't give Zhao Yan a chance to ask any more questions, put down the teacup, and tried his best to tell the story of the Zheng family from the beginning of entering Jin'an Village to leaving, the experience of the mother and daughter, including Liu's forbearance, Zheng Dongshun's scolding, the greed and coldness of the three uncles and aunts, and finally Du Jun resisted.
The content is detailed, but it does not add a point or subtract a single point.
In the end, Du Jun took a sip of tea, "I don't comment on the conduct of that family, and I won't force you to stand on the united front with me, you are an independent individual, you should have your own judgment, I am only responsible for telling you the truth about what I have seen." β
Zhao Yan's eyes were complicated and she looked at Du Jun.
In the mouth of the mother, the grandfather and uncles are all good people and love their mothers very much, but the Zheng family is very poor, and the poor are almost unable to eat, so they have not been in contact with each other for many years, so they have to bring food and silver taels to their grandmother's family every month, because they want to help their mother's family and be filial to their fathers and mothers.
Zhao Yan had never doubted Zheng's words, but now that she was pierced by Du Jun, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Empathy, if she is her grandparents and Zheng's is the daughter she has been thinking about when she is married, will she not see each other for 19 years?
The answer is self-explanatory.
She can't do it, let alone nineteen years, maybe she won't see her in a year or two.
So...... This matter is that the mother is lying, and what the eldest sister said is right.
As soon as she thought of this, Zhao Yan's heart was like a knife.
Why did my mother lie? And it's this kind of lie that can be broken with a poke!
After a while, Zhao Yancai stumbled to defend the Zheng family: "My daughter's family is not favored, and I guess my mother can't hide it when she can't say it." β
Du Jun hummed, nodded, and said lightly: "There are two other things that I should also tell you, one is Xiaolian's life experience, she is from Jin'an Village like the Zheng family, but she was abducted and sold, and the person who abducted and sold her was Zheng Sanru." β
"Huh? Third uncle? β
Like a thunderbolt smashed on the top of her head, Zhao Yan covered her mouth in surprise, with an incredulous expression, "You can't be mistaken, right?" β
Having said that, she had just accepted Zheng's lie, and subconsciously guessed that it should be the truth, otherwise Xiaolian would not have left the farm on the day the Zheng family came, and would never return.
Du Jun didn't want to help Zhao Yan analyze, but said straightforwardly: "The second is that there are rumors outside the farm now, about how good the food of Xingwang Farm is. β
"Second uncle?"
At this time, Zhao Yan was even more surprised, her eyes widened, "How can there be a second uncle here?" β
Du Jun tugged at the corners of his mouth, "So, many times, seeing people not only with your eyes, but also with your ears to hear, to feel with your heart, is not that simple, so far, you should be able to understand why I don't let my mother meet with the Zheng family, right?" β
Then Du Jun emphasized again, "Of course, how you want to get along, the eldest sister will not pay attention, everyone has their own fate, everyone has their own position, I will not interfere, but the premise is not to damage the interests of the farm as a whole." β
In the end, Zhao Yan walked out of Du Jun's room in a daze.
On this day, she received more information than she had in a year, and she wanted to go back and think about it, how to get along with the Zheng family? How do you explain it to Zheng?
Isn't that a sprout!?
Du Jun looked at Zhao Yan's back and shook his head, people are sometimes naΓ―ve and good, but people always have to learn to grow up, and they must experience these seemingly cruel facts when they grow up.
