Chapter 8: Stinginess

Du Yinsheng, who was standing in the middle of the crowd and was squeezed around, saw this scene, and a heart-wrenching pain came from his heart. He closed his eyes in agony, unwilling to open them again.

Du Fangfei hugged Du Jinning in her arms, but she couldn't stand steadily, but a group of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law supported her and entered the house where the third room lived.

Looking clearly at the dilapidated house converted from an abandoned cowshed where the Du family's three rooms lived, and then looking back at the tall, spacious and bright house where the others lived, everyone looked at Du Chensheng and Niu's eyes with more and more contempt and alienation.

Tiger poison does not eat children, although there is an excellent young son who was killed in it, but in the past ten years, the two old men and old ladies of the Du family are really cold and hard as iron, without the slightest human touch. Treat your own family like this, let alone an outsider?

"Put it on the bed, everyone else goes out, and the old man wants to give him an injection." Mo Langzhong shouted.

Originally, Du Jinning met Wang Pozi by the river lived next door to Du's house, and Ping Suli was a very enthusiastic person, and he was most sympathetic to the plight of Chen and Du Jinning. Hearing this, she waved her big hand like a fan and said to everyone: "Go out, go out." The house was too small to accommodate so many people. ”

The crowd who followed up and wanted to see the excitement retreated.

Mo Langzhong didn't care about anything else, and took out a needle to pierce Du Jinning.

The needles of this acupuncture look thick and long, but they don't hurt much. Du Jinning was prepared not to let himself have the slightest expression, but at this time, he didn't feel much pain, and his heart relaxed.

After leaving the needle for a while, Mo Langzhong took out the needle, and instructed Du Fangfei to polish the ink for him and write a prescription, then he raised his head and asked outside: "Two days ago, in order to catch medicine for the little brother, the eldest sister of the Du family responded to the marriage of the Meng family; Now you have to spend money to grab medicine, what do you say, old man Du? As he spoke, his gaze glanced at Du Fangling's face, and then looked at Du Chensheng again.

Du Fangling's body stiffened, looked at Chen in horror, and shouted in her mouth: "Niang ......" The voice was full of pleading.

Chen's body, who had just woken up, shook and almost fainted again, and tears couldn't help but fall.

The back of her hand and her palm are full of meat, and she is reluctant to let Du Jinning die, nor is she willing to push her daughter into the fire. If Du Fangfei hadn't gone to Niu's behind her back, promised to marry and borrowed money, she would definitely not have been able to exchange her daughter's life for her "son's" life.

How would this be called her?

When the crowd heard this, there was an uproar.

In order to catch medicine for his younger brother, Du Fangfei promised to marry Meng Fool, but it has not yet spread in the village. When everyone heard this, their eyes at Du Chensheng and the Niu clan became more complicated. If you want to say that Du Jinning's father killed Du Yuncheng, who was just in middle school, it is understandable that the second elder of the Du family hates him. But Du Fangfei is a good granddaughter, and she is still the eldest granddaughter of the second elder of the Du family, why is it in the way of their eyes, and they want to marry her to Meng Fool, who likes to beat people, isn't this forcing her to death? The hearts of the two elders of the Du family are still not made of meat, why is it so black?

Du Chensheng and Niu's were uncomfortable with everyone, and they opened the cotton curtain and went into their own room. Everyone couldn't find an object of contempt, and when they saw Du Yinsheng, they couldn't help but say to him: "Old Master Du, you can't take care of this matter?" It's a human life. ”

"Two." Someone corrected, "Now it's another one." Referring to Du Fangfei.

"No, if it goes on like this, the Du family will have three rooms and five lives, and I'm afraid none of them will survive."

"No matter what grudge you have, you can't take human life seriously like this. Our Peach Blossom Village has always been simple, harmonious and tranquil. If this news spreads, we won't have the face to see people, and other villages won't take us as a joke? In the future, the boys in our village will marry daughters-in-law, and I am afraid that they will all be affected. ”

"yes, yes......"

Du Yinsheng heard these words, and his face turned black into the bottom of the pot.

Although the village of Taohua Village is not large, the population is not large, but the reputation is very good, there is no other reason, because of the sixty years ago here, the village's younger brother Xiucai saw that the imperial examination was hopeless, so he set up a private school in the village. Because there were not many bundles, many villagers sent their sons to study. Although not many children who study have achieved fame because of this, the most promising is Du Jinning's dead father Du Yuncheng, who was only twenty-three years old when he was selected for Xiucai, but because of their literacy, most of them can find good jobs in the county.

For this reason, more and more people are competing to read and write, and every household in the village who can eat is willing to send their children to study for a few days and learn a few words. Therefore, the overall quality of Taohua Village is better than that of other villages, and the economic conditions are much stronger than those of other villages, which is very envied by other villages. And because the harvest in the village is much cheaper than in the county, whether it is the next village or the farther village, there are children sent to school. For this matter, the people of Peach Blossom Village are very proud to go out, and naturally they have to maintain the reputation of the village more and more.

Now Du Fuzi's younger brother in Peach Blossom Village is so ruthless and cruel to his grandson and granddaughter, the reputation of Peach Blossom Village is afraid that it will plummet, and Du Yinsheng himself has no face to be Mr. Ren in the private school.

He didn't say hello, lifted the curtain and entered Du Chensheng's room, and slapped Du Chensheng in the face.

"Brother......" Du Chensheng was stunned, covering his face and looking at Du Yinsheng in disbelief.

Their brothers have always had a good relationship, but when they were naughty and conflicted, their brother never beat him. Now that he is old, he is in his fifties and sixty, but he is still slapped by his brother, how can this not shock him. Moreover, in front of everyone, how will he behave in the village in the future?

The one who lifted the curtain and looked inside was lively, and when he saw this slap, he couldn't help but secretly scream.

"Take the money out to get the medicine for Brother Ning first, and I'll talk about other things later." Du Yinsheng said with a dark face.

Du Chensheng also knew that this matter had been overdone today, which caused all the people in the village to be dissatisfied, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he turned around and ordered the Niu family to take the money.

Niu Shi was reluctant, muttered in his mouth, opened the cabinet and took out the money, counted them one by one twice, and handed over ten cents.

Du Yin was so angry that he smoked and shouted at Du Chensheng: "A human life is worth ten yuan? If you don't want to stay here, get out of Peach Blossom Village as soon as possible. ”

Du Chensheng is also angry that this old woman has no eyes, and it is okay to be stingy and stingy on weekdays, but now in front of the whole village, she is still so stingy, doesn't that give people a handle and let people watch jokes again?

He yelled at Niu, "Take a hundred dollars out." ”

As soon as Niu heard the hundred yuan, he immediately stopped doing it, and yelled back at Du Chensheng: "Where is the hundred yuan at home?" You are not at home, and you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. The previous one handed over the 300 Wen to Brother Shou'er, and Brother Nian borrowed it in the city. Now there are a total of fifteen Wen left in the family, do you want to love it? As he spoke, he took out Wuwen from his sleeve again, threw it on the ground, turned around and went into the room angrily.
