Chapter Eighty-Five: Warning
When the family was separated yesterday, the Du family repeatedly said that Du Yunnian owed gambling debts, Zhang Guangyi had doubts in his heart, and when he heard Du Jinning's words, his brows were furrowed.
A family, a village, all bad deeds start with gambling money. When a person gambles and owes gambling debts, that is the beginning of selling children and daughters, stealing chickens and dogs.
Du Yunnian is like this now, he owes gambling debts, and his parents are unwilling to pay for him, so he has the idea of his niece. If you can't make up your mind in the future, won't you go down the road of stealing in the future?
"I'll go to Du's house in a moment. Regardless of whether Du Yunnian came here last night or not, I will warn your grandfather well, let him restrain Du Yunnian, and tell him not to beat your idea. Now that they have just separated, they may not have figured it out that you have not only broken up, but you have also severed the relationship, that is, two families that have nothing to do with each other. If Du Yunnian dares to arrest your sister to sell it, or come to your house to ask for money and extort money, then he will violate the royal law and will be arrested and sent to the county government to go to prison. ”
"Everything is up to Uncle Zhang. Uncle's kindness to Du Jinning, Jinning kept it in mind, and he will definitely repay it in the future. Du Jinning bowed deeply.
"Hey, what's the point? This is the uncle's business, and you don't have to be polite. Seeing this, Zhang Guangyi was in a particularly comfortable mood.
This kid is transparent, and he will definitely have a great future in the future.
After sending Zhang Guangyi away, Du Jinning looked at the sky and saw that the morning sun had come out, thinking that today must be a big sunny day, so he called Du Fangling and Du Fanghui: "Let's lift the beds, tables, chairs, benches and other things in the house, wash them well with river water, and put them in the sun to dry." ”
These things are all left by the Wang family. Thinking that the Wang family died of illness alone, and maybe died in these two beds, Du Jinning felt very sorry in his heart. If it weren't for the fear of attracting people's eyes and not daring to take out the money to buy a bed, Du Jinning couldn't wait to buy two beds now and come back and replace these two.
At that moment, the two of them responded and began to move furniture outside. Du Fangling stopped Du Jinning again and said, "You go wash and eat porridge, and then do your thing." These can be done with me and Sister Hui. ”
Du Fanghui also nodded: "That's it." ”
Because the sisters were worried about their life at home, Chen had already told them about Du Jinning writing a script to make money when they had dinner last night. But she didn't say it carefully, she just said that she wrote a notebook, earned two taels of silver, and could maintain her livelihood for half a year, so they don't have to worry.
Rao is like this, which also makes the three sisters happy and relaxed, and admires Du Jinning more and more. At this time, naturally Du Jinning did not want to do housework.
Du Jinning also feels that the most important thing now is to make money. At this time, she can write an extra book to solve the big problems at home. She stopped refusing and said, "You wash out the table and stools in the hall first, and I will write in a moment." ”
"Okay." Du Fangling's voice answered crisply, and she went to lift the table with Du Fanghui.
The "Book of Filial Piety" and the Four Treasures of the Study sent by Du Chensheng were left by Du Jinning over there; Now she still has what Du Yinsheng gave and bought herself. After washing up and having breakfast, I saw that the table had been carefully dried with a cloth by Du Fanghui after washing, and it was still drying in the sun for a while, and there were no water stains on it.
She promised Guan Jiaze to send him two scripts, and she owed one before, so naturally she couldn't break her promise, and it was best to write it before the Chinese New Year. In addition, she had to write two more books and try her luck in the city to see if she could sell them for a high price.
With a heavy burden of livelihood for a family of five and a lot of debts, her pressure is not insignificant.
Fortunately, she is now very proficient in using traditional Chinese characters, and she is familiar with writing half-literary and half-vernacular scripts, so she doesn't need to make any more drafts. In the second volume of "Bad Luck Han Happened to Meet Dongting Red", she only spent half a day writing it.
After writing this one, she wrote another one without stopping.
gave Guan Jiaze two scripts, one of which she chose a story with three words and two shots, and the other chose the story in "Liao Zhai". Because he doesn't need to face the market, Guan Jiaze doesn't seem to be a picky eater, as long as the story is interesting, he can watch it with relish, and Du Jinning doesn't need to spend so much deliberation. It's really lacking, and she wrote a book in the future, and she showed it to him in advance and then sold it.
In the meantime, Zhang Guangyi came over and said, "Your grandfather and your second uncle went to the city to pay off gambling debts, and they just came back." I have already told them that as long as something happens to you here, especially if your three sisters are missing, it is their responsibility, and I don't need to investigate, I will report it directly to the yamen and arrest Du Yunnian in prison; If Du Yunnian is not at home, then arrest Du Chensheng. Your uncle and grandfather cut off contact with them after they went back last night, and today I went over and asked me to witness and sign the paperwork with your Uncle Li. Without your grandfather's support and my warning, they would not dare to fight your idea again, so don't worry. ”
Du Jinning was naturally grateful and very grateful.
After sending Zhang Guangyi away, Du Fangling said to Du Jinning: "Brother, what can we do now?" ”
She and Du Fanghui have been helping the family since they were four or five years old, and they have never had a day of leisure. Today, I washed the furniture and turned over the piece of land in front of the house, and there was nothing to do, and both of them felt panicked.
Du Jinning also knew their feelings, looked at it, and had to point to the piece of land by the river and said: "Then turn over that piece of land, cabbage and radish grow fast, plant it for a month, let's also pick some vegetables to sell in the city." ”
The land was supposed to be left for fruit trees, but now that the saplings have not been found, there is no way to talk about fruit trees. Let's plant the vegetables first.
As she spoke, she asked, "In addition to these two dishes, are there any other vegetable seeds?" ”
It's been almost a month since she came here, and she hasn't seen any other dishes on the Du family's table besides these two.
Du Yunnian picks up the only two kinds of things to sell in the city every day.
Du Fangling shook her head.
Du Jinning didn't give up, and asked again: "There are no peas, celery, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.?" ”
Du Fangling and Du Fanghui both shook their heads: "No." ”
Du Jinning frowned.
To say that there are no carrots, broccoli, red clubs, and peppers, she can understand, after all, these are all imported from foreign countries, but to say that there are no peas, she finds it strange.
But it's possible to think that this is overhead, with corn and no other plants.
"You have turned over the ground, don't scatter the seeds yet, I'll see if there are any other vegetable seeds when I'm free." Du Jinning said.
The two sisters nodded, and happily carried their hoes to the ground. When they have something to do, they are at ease.
