Du Fangfei shook his head and said softly, "I don't want to get married yet." ”

When Chen heard this, he was anxious: "You are sixteen, and if you don't get engaged, you will become an old girl." Don't you still want to wait for two years, and then you can't go to someone else to be a successor? ”

Du Fangfei lowered his head and did not speak.

"You're talking." Chen hated her and slapped her.

After her husband died, her eldest daughter has been following her to bear the pressure from all sides, and she loves Du Fangfei the most in her heart. Today's move is also very angry.

"Mother, I really don't want to talk about kissing now. Wait another year, and then talk about it in a year, okay? Du Fangfei saw that her mother was angry, and her face was pleading.

"Why wait a year? Is the Xu family bad? If you don't like them, my mother will show you another family. Why wait a year? Chen asked, suddenly she thought of something, and her face changed, "Did you meet someone in Peach Blossom Village?" Say! ”

"No, not really." Du Fangfei shook his head.

"Are you really mad at me? If you don't discuss kissing, what should Sister Ling do? You have two younger sisters behind you. ”

"It's only one year, and it won't affect Sister Ling." When Du Fangfei said this, he closed his mouth again, and Ren Chen said nothing.

Chen looked at this eldest daughter, who had always been sensible and well-behaved, and suddenly felt powerless.

Du Fangfei is gentle and kind, but once he recognizes the reason of death, he is more stubborn than anyone else, and Chen feels that he has no choice but to take this daughter.

She had to look at Du Jinning with a distress look, hoping that Du Jinning could persuade Du Fangfei.

Du Jinning said: "Since the eldest sister doesn't want to discuss her relatives yet, let's not discuss it first." Now the discussion is still too hasty, and I have a year to understand, and I can also find someone who can be worthy of the eldest sister, and it doesn't necessarily have to be Xu Chengyuan. ”

Thinking of what Du Jinning had said, Chen felt a lot of comfort. She glared at Du Fangfei with hatred: "Then I will refuse the Xu family." With that, he turned around angrily and walked out the door.

"There's hot water on the stove, it's cold, you burn your feet and then go to sleep." Du Fangfei didn't forget to tell Du Jinning, so he went out and went back to his room.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Chen family did not plan to return to their parents' home, and received the Zhang family of three at home. After the Zhang family left, Du Jinning took a gift to Xu's house to pay New Year's greetings.

When he arrived at the Xu family, Xie Shi said a few words, and then asked the Du family what they thought about Du Fangfei's family affairs.

Du Jinning said: "My mother said that when my eldest sister was at my grandfather's house before, she didn't have a good day. Now that life is finally more relaxed, she no longer has to live the kind of days of beating and scolding, and being a cow and a horse, so she will stay at home for an extra year and a half. After all, if you get married in the future, you have to serve your in-laws and children, and your life is not as easy as when you are in your mother's house. So this pro will not discuss it in advance, and we will talk about it a year later. ”

Xie's expression was a little stiff, his eyes swept over his son's face, and he said with a smile: "What your mother said is that she also feels sorry for your eldest sister." ”

When Du Jinning said that, he was observing Xu Chengyuan's reaction. I saw that Xu Chengyuan's originally ruddy face was faintly pale at this time, and the fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly, as if he had been hit by something. His reaction made Du Jinning confirm his conjecture.

Looking at him, Du Jinning also felt a little pity in his heart.

Compared with those who are pretentious after reading books, and their limbs are not diligent and they do not distinguish between grains and grains, Xu Chengyuan, who can do his best to earn money to support his family and try his best to help his mother do manual work on weekdays, is already very good. At present, his character is also good. Although Xie is a little shrewd, he is also quite reasonable. The most important thing is that the family is simple......

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the person who chased the bazaar to ask for debts, and couldn't help asking, "Are you just two people celebrating the New Year?" How did I hear that Senior Brother Xu also has an uncle? ”

At the mention of this, both mother and son smiled bitterly.

Xu Chengyuan said: "My uncle is okay, after my father died, he supported me to continue studying, and he also took care of us on weekdays. It's my eldest aunt......" He raised his eyes and glanced at Du Jinning, "It's the last time you saw that in the market, Chinese New Year's Eve even came to the house to make a fuss and asked us to pay off our debts." ”

Speaking of this, Du Jinning took out his purse from his arms and handed it over: "This is the three hundred yuan you gave last time." Our family is still getting by, so you don't have to give me this money anymore, use it to pay off the debt. ”

"How's that going to work? This is a no-go. Before Xu Chengyuan could speak, Xie Shi shouted, "If you hadn't taught my brother Yuan'er to write a script, he wouldn't have been able to sell it for a penny." Before you taught him, he also showed it to the bookstore, and the shopkeepers shook their heads and refused to accept it. After you instructed me to change it, it was sold for 600 yuan. The shopkeeper of the bookstore said that if he wrote it again in the future, he would sell it to him. If it's well written, it can be increased again. You have opened a way for our brother Yuan'er to make money and be easy and decent, and it is not too much to share half of your money. Brother Ning, don't shirk it, otherwise it will make our mother and son feel uneasy. ”

Xu Chengyuan nodded: "That's right." ”

Seeing the extremely similar eyes of the mother and son, Du Jinning was deeply shocked.

Originally, when Xu Chengyuan gave her money, she didn't think much about it, thinking that it was because the Xie family was unwilling to offend their family, and Xu Chengyuan also sold the first script, so she would do so. After all, the Xie family wants to sell dried tofu at Du's house, although three hundred yuan is a lot, but compared with the dried tofu business with a good business, it is still not comparable. Maybe the second and third books won't give money anymore.

But at this time, she overturned her speculation about the mother and son of the Xu family. She is a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Even if you want to give, you don't have to do it now. You can pay off your debts first. I've been in debt, too, and I know it's not a good taste. Du Jinning said, "And you don't need to give me money for this book, you only need to give me a copy." After all, Senior Brother Xu is a smart person, and he can understand everything, and I didn't have much effort. It is my honor to have a good relationship with Senior Brother Xu because of this. ”

After this incident, Du Jinning has really regarded Xu Chengyuan as a good friend. She didn't plan to really accept Xu Chengyuan's money, it was just a temptation. In the future, the mother and son of the Xu family must give money for a book, then she will accept it, and then find a chance to return it back. But if you give too much, it's not easy to do.

Xie Shi has a cool personality, and when she heard Du Jinning say this, she nodded and said, "Okay, then so be it." We will recover this money first, and when the debt is paid off, Brother Yuan will give you the money from the sale of the script. "I regret very much that I couldn't marry the Du family.

Saying that she didn't want to marry so early seemed to her to be just an excuse for refusal. It doesn't matter if you don't want to get married so early, it's always okay to discuss relatives, right? But the Du family used this as a reason to say, needless to say, they just didn't plan to marry them.
