Chapter 44: Knocking

He reached out and patted Du Yunchang's shoulder: "The reason why I want to pass on Brother Ning is also to find you a helper." I think that although Brother Naning is young, he is flexible and has his own ideas, the key is that he is very upright and a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Let's reach out to help him when he is in the most difficult time, and if he really has a bad idea in the second room, she will definitely not stand idly by. It's a pity......"

There was one more point he didn't say. Du Yunchang's health is very poor, not even a fifty-year-old man like him, and he is not a long-lived person. Once he and Du Yunchang's father and son passed away one after another, Du Jinfu's age was young, and the family business was encroached upon by the second room, it was a matter of time. If Du Jinning is here, and he can gain fame, then Du Fangzhi and Du Jinfu can grow up smoothly; But without his help, it is difficult to say what will happen to this family in the future.

Du Yunchang was shocked by what his father said, and was silent for a long time.

Because of his poor health, he was extremely well protected by his parents when he was a child. Usually he is devoted to studying, rarely paying attention to world affairs, and his personality is a little naΓ―ve, he doesn't care about the gains and losses of interests, and attaches great importance to family affection. He really couldn't figure out why the second uncle would do such a thing.

Seeing that his son didn't speak, Du Yinsheng also knew that it was difficult for him to digest this, so he waved his hand: "You go and rest." ”

"Yes, Dad." Du Yunchang stood up obediently and slowly walked back to his room.

Du Yinsheng looked at his thin back and let out a long sigh.

In the west wing of the Du family, Du Jinning grabbed his arm as soon as he entered the door, and asked expectantly: "Brother Ning, since my grandfather has changed his attitude, will my mother and sister not have to do so many things in the future?" ”

Du Jinning looked at Chen: "My grandfather didn't say this, he only asked me if I wanted to study, and I said yes, and he let me come back." ”

Chen slapped Du Fangling away: "Go wash your face and burn your feet, don't pester your brother here." We don't do things, drink the northwest wind? Less of your big dreams. ”

Du Fangling pouted: "The second uncle and the second aunt are not without hands and feet?" Especially the second uncle, a big man, who doesn't do anything, makes us half-grown girls tired to death. ”

Chen was bluffed and went straight to cover her mouth, and shouted in a low voice: "You are going to die, say these words." If your second uncle and second aunt hear about it, will you have your good fruit to eat? ”

"What are you afraid of? Now that we're just like them, why can't we say it? ”

Du Fangling saw that Yao's was punished, Du Chensheng and Niu's were obviously on their side, and Niu was also scolded by Du Chensheng at the dinner table, so he suddenly became a lot bolder, and sent out all the grievances in his heart, "You are also a daughter-in-law, and your second aunt is also a daughter-in-law, why are you tired and tired in the field, and she is happy at home?" It's not fair. ”

But when she said this, her voice was obviously much quieter.

Chen Shi looked at her quietly, let go of his hand, and looked faint: "Who told your father to die early, and he couldn't protect you?" ”

Du Fangling glanced at Du Jinning and didn't dare to speak.

She knew Chen's knot. If she dared to say that all this was caused by Du Jinning, if it weren't for her father, her father would not have died, and the lives of their sisters would not be so sad, and the Chen family would have to kick her out of the door. This is Chen's reverse scale, which no one can touch.

But she didn't speak, but that glance didn't escape Chen's eyes.

Chen immediately became angry, pointed at Du Fangling and said, "Don't think that your brother caused all this. Do you believe your second aunt's instigation? If it weren't for your younger brother, your mother and I would have been divorced by your grandfather and grandmother back to your mother's house, and you would have been sold to be maids for others, so you would still be here to be the Du family's girl? Although life is not easy, life and death are up to you, not others! ”

Although Du Fangling has always respected her mother, she disagrees with her mother's words.

She retorted: "Mother, you mean the opposite, right? If you hadn't tried your best to protect it, your grandfather and grandmother would have drowned Brother Ning to death. ”

"Humph!" Chen sneered, "You will believe what others say." Do you really think that your grandfather and grandmother kept Brother Ning because of my pleas and their soft-heartedness? That's because they want to leave a stick of incense for your dad! If it weren't for that, would he care if we lived or died? ”

Du Fangling stopped talking.

Du Jinning stood at the door, quietly watching this scene, and did not move.

She knew that Chen was scolding Du Fangling on her face, but in fact, these words were all spoken to her. Chen was worried that she was young and simple-minded, and she was bewitched by Du Chensheng, so that Du Chensheng treated her a little better, so she was grateful to Dade and regarded Du Chensheng as a kind old man, close to him, respected him, and was used by him.

In addition to the warmth of her heart, she is also comforted.

Self-reliance, separation, revitalization of the family business, and living a good life, these are not enough for her to work alone, and everyone has to work together. And with a mother like Chen, who has a strong personality and a clear mind, the burden on her body is also much lighter.

She walked over, shook Chen's arm, and said softly, "Mother, don't worry, I understand." After saying this, she let go of her hand and walked over to help Du Fangfei knock on the stake.

Seeing that Du Jinning was so smart and could understand at one point, Chen's nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears.

If Du Jinning was really a man, it would be great.

Although the status of Xiao Sanfang has improved, Chen still doesn't dare to have an accident too out of line. When it's time to rest, make a noise again, and you will be scolded by Niu. The mother and daughter only erected the outside wall and rested.

On the second day, the mother and daughter still got up early in the morning and went to the field, and Du Jinning continued to write her words after breakfast.

Because she had some idea in her heart, she didn't write much, but only wrote about a thousand words before stopping, and then spent half an hour transcribing the three thousand words written yesterday and the morning, and went to Chen's side to find a needle and thread, and stacked all the written papers together and bound them into a book.

Seeing that it was already noon, and that there was no one outside, she climbed out of the window, and found out of the grass the silver and copper coins that had been hidden there yesterday, and then took the pamphlet into her bosom, and opened the door and went out.

Du Chensheng heard the sound and saw her go out, and wanted to ask her to come to the upper room and memorize and talk about the "Book of Filial Piety" that he gave yesterday, but Du Jinning was like a rabbit, running fast, and disappeared before he opened his mouth. He had no choice but to give up.

When he came back from the county that day, Du Jinning heard from Chen that Zheng Zhongchun and Zheng Taoer's father, Zheng Lin, was specially in a car, going back and forth between the county seat and the village every day.

Taohua Village is very close to another village called Dalin Village, and there is a small river in the middle. The population of the two villages together is also quite large, some people want to go to school in the county like Zhang Hongwen, some people want to pick vegetables to sell in the county like Du Yunnian, and there are also relatives who go to buy things, and there are many people who go to the county every day.
