Chapter 27: Concessions
Du Zhao was a little helpless in the face of the anger of the two brothers, and his face was very embarrassed and embarrassed, but now he actually regretted it a little.
Looking at the Li family and the cowering Du Lianrong, and then thinking about the eldest daughter Jingfu who had the courage to fight with hatred in her eyes, the gap was clear at a glance, and she let out a long sigh.
"You go down, raise the fetus honestly, wait until you give birth, don't be a bad baby, you also saw it, if you are not honest, I won't be able to protect you."
Du Zhao was very tired, not all these years were all joy and sweetness, although the outer room could get a moment of tenderness and comfort.
But the pressure of the Yue family, the cold treatment of his wife, and the grievances and complaints of his daughter slowly turned into coldness, he was not unaware, but he was bent on his son, and it was a kind of escape.
Literary strategy and political vision are not as good as a wife, he can't find the pride that a man should have, no matter how his wife does, he can't find that warmth, he just feels irritable.
Until now, he suddenly felt that the Li family was nothing more than that, and the enthusiasm and joy at the beginning had disappeared unconsciously.
Li shrunk his neck and shed tears, hugged his daughter and turned back step by step, he really didn't dare to stimulate the two brothers of the Du family anymore.
"Humph!"
Du Heng snorted coldly, frowning with disgust and disdain on his face.
"This cowering little family's temperament, where can it be compared to Fu'er's daring."
Qian flicked his sleeves and sat down with a cold snort.
Li had just stepped out of the door, and when he heard this, tears suddenly fell, and he left crying.
Mrs. Du's face was extremely embarrassed and embarrassed, no matter how much she hated, the Li family was her mother's family, but the fact was that she was really inferior to people, what could she do, it was her mother's daughter who was embarrassed.
As he was talking, Furong came in, bowing his head and replying, "The patriarch has sent someone to pass the word, the funeral is over, and everyone has been given enough time to rest. ”
Du Zhao's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look at his mother in some consternation, the patriarch just reprimanded him before, he thought this was the end, but he didn't expect that there would be anything behind.
"What else did the patriarch say?"
"It's okay if you don't come, all the three rooms of the Du family will be expelled from the Du family's clan, and they will have nothing to do with each other from now on."
Fleur kept her head down and didn't dare to lift it, afraid of facing the wrath of the crowd.
"Tomorrow, our whole family must be here."
Old Madam Du's body shook a little, closed her eyes, and let out a long sigh.
Retribution is still here, she wants to raise her mother's family, but she didn't do anything, and she killed her daughter-in-law and made her granddaughter hate herself.
The niece and granddaughter also fell into this field, and it was better to find a merchant to marry than to be scolded by others.
"The patriarch said that the Li family and the second lady must also be present, some things must be clearly understood, the face of the Du family Erlang cannot be trampled and humiliated by them, since it should be done meticulously, to save the reputation of my Du family's lintel for a hundred years."
Fleur didn't wait for her master to respond after the report, and ran away in fright.
"That's right, it's still the patriarch's uncle who has courage, and some things must be settled and not confused, otherwise we will just be fine, and these children will be affected in the future."
Du Heng was full of anger towards his eldest brother, and for no reason for a woman, everyone's reputation was ruined.
"Let's go down, I'm tired, Zhao'er, you Ming'er has to take the initiative to admit your mistakes to the patriarch, don't think about it anymore, otherwise my mother can only apologize for her guilt with death, and I don't have the face to go down to see your father."
Mrs. Du's face was sallow, leaning on the silk cushion embroidered with indigo embroidered twigs, looking sad and dejected.
If my wife is still here, I must train her, she is sorry for her wife, why did she make it like this for a little care.
"Mother, you have a good rest, Ming'er no matter what, let's apologize together, our three brothers are still heart-to-heart, you can rest assured, it is about the reputation of the family and we know what to do."
Du Heng was the first to stand up and express his position, it has reached this point, it is not appropriate to make more fuss, and he can't write a single Du character.
"Yes, mother, I will apologize, admit the beating, mother is my mistake."
Du Zhao knelt down and kowtowed to his mother to apologize, and now he finally relented and admitted his mistake, if Jingfu was there, he would definitely cry, it was too late.
Old Lady Du waved her hand to tell them to step back.
Out of the room, Du Zhao raised his head and looked at the blue sky above his head, his heart was full of sighs, "Third brother, you come to my study, I will get you the contract, you go to the transfer." Falling on Fu'er's head will also be a guarantee for her in the future. You can help me send it to Yang's house when you go back. ”
"Good. Eldest brother...... I knew why I had to do it in the first place. ”
Du Heng also looked at the eldest brother very sadly, once upon a time his father died early, the eldest brother took the role of his father, maintained them in every way, and endured all the hardships and humiliation, and now he is like this, how can he not be sad.
"I don't know why, maybe it's because my fate with Lan'er is too shallow, I'm too inferior and conceited after all, my father's excellence puts too much pressure on me, I'm always inferior to my father, I let him down."
Du Zhao raised his head with a tear in his eyes, how many ambitions and ambitions he once had, and now how many chagrin and sadness and loss are unwilling, turning into inner demons and tormenting him day by day, gnawing at his heart.
"Big brother!"
Du Heng covered his face with his hands, reviving the lintel of the Du family was a magic obstacle in the hearts of the three brothers, their father was too dazzling, they endured a lot of eyes from expectation to disappointment, and the needle pierced the heart, and it hurt more than Du Zhao alone.
"Don't mention it, Fu'er's child and I don't kiss each other, you can go and see her more. It's good if I can let it out, and that's why she doesn't want me to marry my stepfamily so early. This kid has hatred in his heart, you go and see more, don't let the child learn crookedly. ”
Du Zhao seems to be a little clearer in the face of even the suppression, but it is limited to this, he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong with his wife, and he uses a sentence of fate that is too shallow to whitewash the peace.
"I see, I will."
Du Heng sighed, after all, everything has changed, and he can't go back to the beginning.
went to the study Du Zhao took a contract for a grange and a shop to him, Du Heng took a look, even if he was remorseful, it was because his future was hindered, and he was not ashamed of the mother and daughter, and sighed in his heart, or the eldest niece saw it more accurately.
After taking the contract, he left, and returned to his yard, where his wife Qian was waiting.
"Master, drink a bowl of white fungus soup and go to the fire, I'm tired all morning."
Qian took the soup and handed it over gently.
Du Heng sighed and gave the contract to the Qian family, "I'll go out in the afternoon, and if I get the contract in Fu'er's name, we will give back a little bit." ”
"Master, I wonder if we should fill in some things too, this opportunity is a great benefit to our son.
I really feel ashamed, in the past, I just did a little bit of kinship, and I wasn't too enthusiastic, but now my eldest niece is much more atmospheric than me, and I'm a little embarrassed. ”
The matter is very neat, and there is no delay at all, Qian feels that he can't do such a mind, and a child will give it refreshedly, without any conditions.
