"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Du Jinning asked, and comforted her, "Are you sad about the succession?" You're doing the right thing, how can I get over a situation like mine? ”

Chen took her into his arms and cried lowly: "Mother can't stand you, can't stand you." ”

Du Jinning patted her on the back: "How can you be sorry for me?" If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive until now. ”

Seeing that Chen was still crying, she said again: "Mother, even if you don't succeed, I can let you live a good life, you just wait." Look, don't we have that now? We'll have more in the future. ”

The house is not soundproof, and she is afraid that the partition wall has ears, so she does not dare to say the word "silver".

"Mother, what are you doing? The rice has been heated twice. Du Fangling pushed the door in, and when she saw the two of her mothers hugging her head and crying, she couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

"No, it's fine." Chen hurriedly stopped crying, wiped away his tears, patted Du Jinning and said, "Let's go, let's eat." ”

Du Fangling looked at Chen suspiciously, stared at Du Jinning a few more times, closed the door and went out.

When Chen and Du Jinning went to the cowshed to eat, they didn't see Du Fangling.

"Where did Sister Ling go?" Chen asked Du Fangfei.

"Didn't she go and call you? Why, didn't you see her? Du Fangfei was stunned, stood up and wanted to find someone.

"No need to look for it, she must have gone to her uncle's place." Du Jinning said.

Chen's heart tightened, and he turned around and was about to go out, when he saw Du Fangling coming in from outside.

"Y-Where have you been?" Chen said angrily.

"Didn't go anywhere." Du Fangling sat down and picked up the bowl and ate, without looking at Chen.

Du Jinning pulled Chen's sleeve, signaled her not to be nervous, and stuffed a tortilla into her hand: "Mother, eat." ”

Chen had no choice but to sit down and eat.

She really can't do anything about Du Fangling's daughter. The daughter knew that she felt sorry for her, her sister and sister, but she only had an opinion on Du Jinning, who brought misfortune to the third room, which made her very helpless.

The back of the hand and the palm of the hand are full of meat, for the sake of Du Jinning, he has made his daughter suffer. She can't scold Du Fangling anymore for this.

Under Du Yinsheng's pressure, Du Chensheng personally sent twenty catties of rice to Sanfang. Nowadays, the people in the third room are white rice porridge with corn tortillas. Although the food is still green vegetables and radishes and pickles, it can't be compared with the main house, but the food has improved a little. This was improved under the threat of Du Jinning.

Even if there were twenty catties of rice, Chen was reluctant to eat it, so he wanted to leave it to Du Jinning, but Du Jinning refused, and after his "illness" recovered, he ate with everyone. Chen couldn't help it, so he cooked white rice porridge and everyone ate it together. This made Du Fangling's face look a lot better.

After eating, Du Jinning said to Chen: "Mother, I will go to the field with you tomorrow." ”

"No, you don't." Chen refused without thinking about it, "It's cold outside, what are you going to do?" Obedient, just stay at home. ”

She glanced at Du Jinning and said in a low voice, "Didn't your uncle and grandfather give you a book?" You look at writing at home, there is no work in the field, you don't have to do it. ”

Du Jinning knew what Chen meant. She wanted her to write another book at home, which was much better than working in the fields. But Du Jinning has his own ideas.

Du Yunyi's family is in the county, and if they didn't meet it once, it doesn't mean that they won't meet it in the future. Even if they sell scripts under the name of Du Yinsheng, Chen's non-work and went to the county to sell scripts for his uncle in the next room, which is both a mistake and easy to suspect. Moreover, the money earned from selling the script is not daring to spend, and everyone's life is as difficult as ever, so what's the point of making this money?

Therefore, the most important thing at present is not to make money, but how to get Sanfang out of the control of Du Chensheng and Niu's family.

But in ancient times, when the concept of the family was extremely heavy, how difficult was it to get rid of the control of the elders? If the road of succession doesn't work, you have to think of other ways. But this is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

Du Jinning doesn't want to be idle at home. Seeing the Chen and Du Fangfei sisters working in the fields in the cold, she was lying at home. She was uneasy.

"yes." Du Fangfei also said, "You are thin, and you have just been sick." Now that there is not much work in the fields, and it is cold outside, what if I get sick again? It's better to rest at home, we can rest assured. ”

Du Fanghui also nodded: "That's it." ”

"Besides, the New Year will be celebrated in a few days. We will work for another two or three days, and then we will rest and not go to the fields. In just these two or three days, what are you going to do? Chen said again.

Du Jinning's eyes lit up: "It's going to be the New Year?" Are the uncles and aunts coming back? ”

"yes." Chen turned his head to look at her, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Do you think the uncle and aunt will bring you something delicious?" Du Fangling sneered.

Du Yunyi and Zhang's family in the big house, as well as several children born by Zhang's family, can't return to the village several times a year. When I came back, I stayed in the house and didn't go out, and I was like a stranger with the people in the third room. The food they brought back also came to the hands of the people in the third room. So they can't come back, and it has nothing to do with the people in the third room. Chen and Du Fangling really didn't know what Du Jinning was excited about when they heard the people from the big house coming back.

"Haha, nothing." Du Jinning laughed dryly, thinking about things in his heart, and said in his mouth, "Mother, aunt is the most important rule, if you see me living in the same room with you, maybe you will say something unpleasant." ”

"yes." As soon as he mentioned this, Chen was worried.

Zhang's self-proclaimed that she was from the city, and when she returned to the Du family, she always put it on her shelf, lest others not know that she was from the city. Du Chensheng and Niu's there she didn't dare to talk much, but the rules and dresses of the people in the second and third rooms were always stabbed by her a few times.

In the past, when she came back, the Chen family would move to the outer room of the cowshed to live, leaving the inner room in Du Jinning, and the Zhang family knew that they had no other place to relocate, so they were not picky in this regard.

But now that the third room has moved here, there is an unobstructed view of the snow caves in one room, and Du Jinning can't hide the fact that he lives in one room with his mother and sister. Zhang is a person who can only pick thorns, but does not solve problems. In the end, the Chen family was taught a lesson by the Zhang family, and they had to be ridiculed by the Yao family, and they lost face among the concubines, and the Niu family had to scold her for many things, scolding her for not knowing what to do - it would be good to have a large and clean house to live in, and I wanted to pick and choose, one person and one room, and simply drive them out of the old one.

Because of this, Chen thought of going to the mountains to help people carry wood for a few days, and asked people to help separate the wooden planks to separate the house.

"Mother, I'll carry the wood tomorrow." Du Fangfei said, "The oil and salt at home are gone, so I have to work for a few days to change some things." ”

Chen was about to say that she was going, when he saw Du Jinning pulling her clothes. Thinking of the two taels of silver that Du Jinning earned, she suddenly felt down-to-earth, waved her hand and said: "No, I will find a way to solve the matter of wood and oil and salt, and I don't have to carry wood for people." ”
