Chapter 40: Surprise and inexplicability
Du Jinning was worried that they were leaking, so he hurriedly shouted as soon as Yao's words fell: "Second aunt, there is still a false accusation in the yamen. If we can't find the money, will you be punished twice? ”
As soon as Chen and Du Fangling heard this, their hearts relaxed.
Du Jinning has done everything during this time, all of which are very proper and have never made mistakes, even Du Fangling, who has never looked down on her very much, is convinced by her, let alone the Chen family.
It seems that the dozens of dollars were hidden by Du Jinning in a very hidden place, at least not in the hole in the wall, and it will not be searched by the Niu family.
Yao's is naturally unclear about whether Sanfang has money or not, she just lives by herself, and feels that her family does not have to worry about food and clothing, and she will still hide some private money. Especially after the incident that Du Jinning almost died of illness because he had no money to take medicine.
Chen Xiuli's woman is not so honest and obedient.
Thinking of this, she rubbed her neck and said, "You are not the county master, and you are still framed." I can't find the money, and you are too cunning and hide the money too well, what does it have to do with me? ”
Niu was dragging the silver and copper coins from the second house in his hand, and he was wondering whether to go to the third room to search for it. The old man had just shown favor to the little rabbit cub, and when she turned around, she offended the people in the third room, and she was afraid that the old man would hit her with a big stick.
But if she doesn't search, she can't bear the money. If Xiao Sanfang also hides so much money, if she doesn't find it out, won't she lose a lot?
She was fighting in heaven, when she heard a light cough behind her, but it was Du Chensheng who came out of the house.
"What are you searching for? The second family hides the silver yourself, and you say that others also hide it, which is really a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain! Du Chensheng looked at Yao Shi coldly, "Don't eat tonight and tomorrow morning, just go to the courtyard and kneel in the courtyard for an hour when you finish cooking in a while." ”
"Daddy......" Yao screamed awkwardly, but he didn't dare to say more. What she is most afraid of in this family is Du Chensheng, who is silent on weekdays, and punishes people more ruthlessly than anyone else.
But when she thought about it, she was secretly happy.
It is said that he is hungry for two meals, but no one is hungry and cannot be hungry for a person who cooks in the kitchen. She steals a few bites while she cooks, and there is one. As long as her father-in-law still asks her to cook, she won't be hungry.
But Du Chensheng walked a few steps, probably remembered this stubble, stopped and said: "Forget it, since we will eat together in the future, tonight's dinner will be made together by the third daughter-in-law and Sister Fei." Second daughter-in-law, you can go and kneel now. ”
"Daddy......" Yao's voice is as much grudge as he is.
Niu couldn't get used to her coquettish appearance to her husband, and her eyes glared: "What is it called?" Why don't you go to kneel? In my opinion, an hour is too short, and it would be nice to add half an hour. ”
Du Chensheng naturally wouldn't say goodbye to his wife on such a trivial matter, and waved his hand: "That's an hour and a half." With that, he slowly paced back into the house with his hands behind his back.
Yao sat half-paralyzed on the ground, looking at Chen with a shocked and angry gaze, not knowing what was going on.
She can see that Du Chensheng and Niu's attitudes towards Xiao Sanfang have changed. In the past, no matter what Xiao Sanfang did, it was all wrong, and Du Chensheng and Niu's punishment would be ushered in.
But now, the people in the third room didn't even scold, but she was punished by her again and again, what the hell is going on?
Not only the Yao family, but also the Chen family's mother and daughter were also surprised, you look at me, I look at you, and finally look at Du Jinning together.
Du Jinning said: "Mother, you go to cook with the eldest sister, and I will try to see if we can put these planks together with the third sister and the fourth sister." ”
Chen also knew that this was not the place to speak, and said, "Where do you have the strength?" We'll get that one when we're ready. As he spoke, he turned around, looked at Niu, and asked cautiously, "Mother, where are you going to cook?" She still didn't believe her ears, for fear she had misheard.
Niu Shi pointed to the blue brick kitchen of the Du family and did not speak.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law haven't gotten along well for so many years, and Niu feels awkward when they don't scold at first glance.
Chen pulled Du Fangfei, and the two went into the kitchen together.
Niu Shi was not at ease and followed in. Although Chen's previous cooking skills were the best among the three concubines, she was afraid that Chen would forget how to cook and waste good food.
Seeing this, Yao bit his lower lip with his teeth, and poison was about to quench out of his eyes.
However, she knew that although Du Chensheng had returned to the house, everything in the courtyard could be seen through the window, so she didn't dare to act as a yang or yin, looked left and right, found a sheltered corner, moved over and knelt there honestly.
"Lady, what's going on?" Du Yunnian met his son who went out to play after school on the road, and when the father and son came back together, they saw Yao's miserable appearance.
"Mother, why are you kneeling here?" Du Jinshou ran over quickly, wiped a handful of snot, and looked at his mother curiously.
He was sometimes mischievous and would be dragged to his knees by his grandfather and grandmother. But apart from him, it's the people of the small third room. His parents had never knelt before, so they were very curious.
"The money you gave me was found by my mother." Yao looked at Du Yunnian pitifully, then motioned to go to the room with his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and help me plead for mercy." ”
Du Yunnian is not only lazy, but also an irresponsible coward, otherwise he would not have watched his younger siblings and his family work hard in the fields all day long, but he was idle.
He glanced at the upper room, shrank his head, and said, "I don't dare." He took his son and went back to the room.
Yao was so angry that he didn't dare to speak out. In this family, she only dared to be arrogant to the people in the third room, and in the face of Du Yunnian, who dared to beat his wife, she didn't dare to let go of a fart.
Du Jinshou remembered dinner, and was dragged by his father to the house, while turning back and asking his mother: "Mother, you are kneeling here, who is going to cook?" ”
"Your third aunt." Yao didn't have a good airway.
Du Jinshou didn't react for a while, but Du Yunnian's footsteps stopped. He turned around and looked towards the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw Du Fangfei coming out of it, holding a pot of vegetables to be washed, he raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask Yao's about to ask, when he saw Niu's also coming out of the kitchen.
"Mother, ...... are you" He pointed at Du Fangfei, and then asked Niu.
Seeing this son who was not at home all day, Niu didn't have a good voice, and asked him: "The silver money in your daughter-in-law's hand was given to her by you?" ”
