Du Jinning stopped and looked at Du Chensheng suspiciously.

Du Chensheng stood up and walked into the side room with his back on his back: "You come here." ”

Chen glanced at Du Jinning worriedly, and silently helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Yao's family didn't know anything about the family, and seeing that Chen and Du Fangfei were still here to help with things today, they thought that yesterday's father-in-law's attitude made the people in the third room scared, and they were very proud, and stood there and commanded Du Fangling: "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you grab a broom to sweep the floor? ”

Du Fangling's face changed, and she wanted to refute her, but she was stopped by Chen: "Sister Ling, go back to the room with you." ”

After Chen finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Yao: "If you don't want to do these jobs, then go to the ground." ”

Yao was choked for a moment, turned her head to look at her mother-in-law, but saw Niu sitting on the side with a dark face, pondering and not knowing what she was thinking, obviously in a bad mood, she didn't dare to do much, for fear of being angry.

In the room, Du Chensheng sat down, saw Du Jinning standing there with his eyelids curled, pointed to the chair opposite him and said, "Sit down and say." ”

Du Jinning answered and sat down on the chair.

Du Chensheng was silent for a while, as if he didn't know how to phrase it, until Du Jinning raised his eyes to look at him, he cleared his throat and said, "Brother Ning, do you want to go to the academy to study?" ”

Du Jinning guessed his intentions in his heart and nodded: "Yes." ”

Du Chensheng's eyes looked at him fixedly: "Your uncle and grandfather came over before dinner, I asked him, your fourth uncle used to be in the academy, and he spent forty or fifty taels of silver every year. Our family, I think you also know, so many people rely on about 20 acres of land and a few taels of silver given by your uncle every month to eat. I spend a lot of money on medicine every month, and your brothers still have to study. ”

Seeing that Du Chensheng didn't say anything anymore, but just looked at himself, Du Jinning had to nod his head, indicating that he understood.

Du Chensheng then went down again: "You want to go to the academy to study, with our family's situation, you can't afford it at all." Unless ......"

Du Jinning already had a guess in his heart, so he asked cooperatively: "Unless what?" ”

The little child, knowing that he was accepted as a disciple by the head of the academy, would be so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he wanted to shout that the whole village knew, but Du Jinning didn't; And when he learned that he couldn't go to the academy, he would definitely be depressed and sad, and even cry bitterly, but Du Jinning still didn't.

This child is like a deep well, Du Chensheng feels that he has lived for fifty or sixty years, and he has read countless people, but he can't see through it, which makes him very jealous of this child, and when he encounters Du Jinning's matter, he can't make up his mind.

He stared at Du Jinning and said slowly: "There is a family in the city that is wealthy, but his son is a fool. They wanted to marry a daughter-in-law for their son. ”

Du Jinning raised his clear eyes and looked at Du Chensheng, his little face was as calm as water, and he couldn't see any expression.

A gleam flashed in Du Chensheng's eyes, and he continued: "If you are willing to let your eldest sister marry her, I can ask someone to talk about it, and let them take out forty taels of silver as a dowry, so that you will have the cost of studying for the first year." In the future, your eldest sister will be his young grandmother, and she will always be able to save a little money, and the family will save a little money for you to continue studying. ”

He paused, looked at Du Jinning, whose expression still hadn't changed, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Du Jinning shook his head: "Not how." ”

She stared at Du Chensheng and said word by word: "I will never exchange the lives of my sisters for glory and wealth." ”

At this time, outside the window of the main courtyard, a figure was squatting, and the person was shocked by Du Jinning's words, and tears slowly overflowed from his eyes.

This is none other than Du Fangling.

She cared about her future and wanted to know what Du Chensheng said to Du Jinning, so she learned from yesterday and quietly touched it, not wanting to hear the conversation inside.

Du Jinning is talking about "several sisters", thinking that this does not only refer to Du Fangfei, but also to her. Du Jinning didn't even want Du Fangfei to marry a fool, let alone sell her for money. Such a younger brother values love and righteousness, what else does she have to complain about?

Recalling her cold eyes on Du Jinning over the years, her heart was full of shame.

In the room, when Du Chensheng heard those words, his face immediately became gloomy, his eyes were half-squinted, and he said coldly: "In this case, you won't be able to study." Not only the county academy, but also the village private school, you can't go to it. ”

Du Jinning knew that if she behaved too calmly and made Du Chensheng suspicious of her, it would be very detrimental to the next separation.

She lowered her eyes for a while, and her eyes slowly turned red.

She said: "If you don't read it, you won't read it, anyway, I won't exchange my sisters' lives for a future." ”

As he spoke, tears began to fall. She wiped a handful of tears from her sleeve and stood there straight, still straight.

In this way, in Du Chensheng's eyes, it is a little boy who is very sad and sad, but he still has to pretend to be like no one in front of others, stubbornly pretending to be strong.

He sighed deeply in his heart, the vigilance and suspicion of the idea he mentioned relaxed, and his cold heart loosened a little.

This kid values love and righteousness. If you don't have the gambling debt owed by your second son, spend some money for him to study for a few years, cultivate more feelings, teach him well, and melt away the resentment he has generated because of cold treatment over the years.

It's a pity!

Think about his second son, who is not angry, not only does he not make money from the family, but he is also a loser, and the other grandchildren are not promising; The only one who has a future cannot be cultivated and relied on, and will even be pushed to the opposite side of hatred, Du Chensheng's mood is very bad.

He waved his hand: "Alright, you can go back." ”

Du Jinning wiped his tears with his sleeve again, saluted, and turned around and went out.

Looking at the thin and small back with a straight waist and disappearing at the door, Du Chensheng sighed heavily, his heart, which was slightly loose just now, became cold and hard again, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart.

This child is smart and strong, and even if he is not given the opportunity to study, he will definitely be a promising person in the future. Once Du Fangling is sold, even if the family has a mortal enmity with Xiao Sanfang, Du Jinning has grown up, and he has hatred in his heart, and he will inevitably find an opportunity to take revenge back.

With such an enemy by his side, I am afraid that the life of the eldest son and the second son will not be peaceful in the future.

In this case, then the child cannot be grown, and the best way is to make the child stupid. In this way, not only will he leave an incense stick for Yun Cheng, but he will not have any worries.

Anyway, this kid killed Yun Cheng and made him stupid, which can be regarded as avenging his son.

Thinking of this, a touch of ruthlessness flashed in Du Chensheng's eyes.
