Zhu Youning was lying on the plank bed face in, no matter what Mrs. Li said, she just didn't talk and pretended to sleep intently.

She doesn't have to say anything now, just a few words and a look just now are enough to arouse everyone's associations, coupled with the discussions and brain supplements of these women, it is enough for Mrs. Li to construct countless tragic futures in her mind, and she will scare herself.

She is now a little girl who "has no contribution to the family" and is not eligible for "family returns", so if she wants to make the neighbors stop, she can only use the old lady's power to scare them.

When Mrs. Li saw that Zhu Youning was asleep, she didn't dare to ask out loud, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and left worriedly.

And Zhu Youning, who pretended to be asleep, really slept while pretending.

I don't know how long it took, but I was still woken up by Mrs. Li's sharp and flattering voice.

"Sir, you're back! Alas, you have worked hard today! The slave specially killed a chicken, and it was simmered over a slow fire, so why don't you use some? ”

Mrs. Li's voice was getting closer and closer, Zhu Youning got up and got off the ground, stood in front of the door, and saw Mrs. Li holding a big bowl behind Zhu Huating.

Zhu Huating frowned and walked home, and Mrs. Li chased after her with a bowl.

"Master, don't be like a slave, you are a Wenqu star, and a slave is the mud on the ground!"

"The slave and maid ate feces that day, squirted feces all over their mouths, ate a little horse urine, and didn't know what they were messing with, and then sobered up, and the slave and maid also regretted it! If you don't remember the villain, forgive the slave and the maid. ”

"Master, why don't you say something, you are so uneasy for a slave!"

……

Zhu Huating entered the house silently, and Mrs. Li also stood under the eaves of the porch, smiling with a flattering face.

Zhu Huating said: "Mama Li is a big man, my family is a poor family who can't eat an egg for a few months, and the poor stomach can't afford to eat good things like chicken soup, so you should keep it for your children and grandchildren." ”

"Oh, sir, you say that, don't you want the life of a slave! The slave really knows that she is wrong! ”

Zhu Huating smiled at Mrs. Li and said, "Mama Li go back, the neighbors, the days are still long, let's go by slowly." With a polite bow, he closed the door.

Mrs. Li stood at the door, hesitating, but didn't dare to knock on the door.

What can I do now, it seems that I really convict people!

I slapped myself gently, called you cheap, and didn't care about your head, and in the future, people will gain power again, and pinching you to death is not like pinching an ant to death!

The two men in the house waited for a while in the dark, and when they heard the footsteps in the distance, Zhu Huating went to light the oil lamp.

Rudou's light allowed him to see half of the room clearly.

"Fu Ya'er, where did this come from?"

Zhu Youning thought about it, and told Zhu Huating every word and deed after the old lady came today.

"Daddy, the old lady taught me that I have to contribute to the family in order to get the family's return, if I die of illness, I will be useless to the family, and the family will not bother to save me. But I didn't contribute to my father, who carried me in the heavy rain to kneel and beg others. Daddy, I don't understand. ”

Zhu Youning frowned and pulled Zhu Huating's sleeve and looked up at him.

Zhu Huating was stunned for a long time before touching Zhu Youning's head and said, "You are Daddy's daughter, we are a family, Daddy doesn't need you to contribute." ”

"Daddy, you're different from them."

"Yes, my father has been studying and preparing for exams since he was a child, and he has learned different things from your uncles and uncles...... That's why Dad was defeated. The last sentence fell into his throat, and Zhu Huating looked at those things in a daze.

Zhu Youning understood.

It turned out that the Zhu family saw his father's potential in studying, so he specially trained him to take a career and find an official position to contribute to the family. Since he was a child, he was raised to only read sage books, which was different from the education received by the rest of the Zhu family, so he became a clear stream in the black miasma.

Looking at his father's devastated appearance, Zhu Youning pulled his sleeve and shook it.

Zhu Huating came back to his senses, immediately cleaned up his mood, and smiled cheerfully: "Are you hungry?" I see there's a bag of japonica rice, and my dad will cook japonica rice porridge for you. ”

Zhu Youning nodded obediently.

With the things sent by Mrs. Zhu, the quality of life of the father and daughter has taken a sharp turn.

Because of fear, Mrs. Li no longer sneered at Zhu Huating, and she stopped for several days.

Eat well, dress warmly, and have quiet ears, and life is smooth.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Youning didn't sleep very well, and in a trance at night, he seemed to hear a man sobbing.

She suddenly came to her senses and squinted silently.

The dark room was as lit as a bean, and my father sat in the doorway, holding a piece of paper and an envelope in his hand, and wept as he watched by the light. The light was too dim for her to see her father's expression clearly, and she could only see crystal tears hanging all over his face.

Zhu Youning's nose was sour, and he almost cried.

This man is always so optimistic, so hard at life, acting as if nothing happened in front of her, but crying alone at night.

Zhu Youning closed his eyes and began to guess who wrote the letter in his father's hand and what it was.

When he got up early the next day, Zhu Huating went out like no one.

Zhu Youning rummaged through the cabinets at home, but did not find the letter.

For several days after that, Zhu Youning kept looking for opportunities. Until this day, Zhu Huating's heart stained his robe at breakfast, so he had to put it at home.

Zhu Youning finally flipped through the letter from the sleeve pocket of his robe.

Although she couldn't write the traditional Chinese characters smoothly, it seemed that there was no obstacle, and after reading it eagerly, her face was flushed with anger and her hands were shaking.

This is a letter from her mother, Bai.

It turned out that after the Bai family was tied back to the Bai family, he escaped several times without success, and the old lady Bai felt that his daughter followed Zhu Huating, a miscellaneous person whose reputation was ruined, and he lost the face of the Bai family, forcing the Bai family to reconcile with Zhu Huating, and wanted to marry her to an old widower in his fifties!

Bai's resistance to death, a few days ago was forced to surrender, who expected a big life, was saved by the mother-in-law who took care of her, this time to ask the doctor, found that she had been pregnant for a month.

Old lady Bai was stunned and said that the evil seed in Bai's stomach was embarrassing, and forced her to eat safflower.

The Bai family begged for help, and said that Mrs. Bai was moved, and on the grounds that the fetus was now worried about her life, she was accommodating for some time and let her raise it for a few days temporarily.

This letter was sent by a kind-hearted old woman in the Bai family's house, and the letter clearly explained the cause and effect, and it already meant to say goodbye to Zhu Huating.

Zhu Youning put the letter back in its place with a calm face, and arranged the robe so that people could not see that they had been passive.

A fire burned in her heart.

She knew that her father didn't pick up her mother, thinking that she was afraid that her mother would follow him to starve and cold, and at least she could be fed and clothed at her mother's house, and no one around her parents could bully her.

But who would have thought that my grandfather would be such a good person!

Today's father is just a bookkeeper on the dock, with the snobbery of Old Lady Bai, even if my father goes to the door of the Bai family and kneels and breaks his knees and knocks his head, it is impossible to pick him up.

What Old Lady Zhu said echoed repeatedly in Zhu Youning's mind.

The strong are respected, and the fittest survive. Only by contributing to the family can we get the return of the family.

She can't wait any longer, she has to be strong, otherwise this world won't give people a way to live!

In the next few days, Zhu Youning has been at home to help his father cook and manage the house, making his father's pistachios, but after his father went out, he frowned and thought of a way out.

Just when she was at a loss, she finally saw a turn for the better.

On that day, she heard several women in the courtyard talking about the "clan assembly."

Zhu Youning searched in his memory and raised his eyebrows with interest.

She was really dizzy, and she forgot about such a big thing as the "Clan Conference".
