At this time, Cai's eyes looked at Du Ruo with both annoyance and shock!
Du Ruo didn't know what she wanted to say, so he turned around and went back to the house. She unwrapped the package containing things, put the pen, ink and paper on the table, held a few books in her hands, and swept her gaze around, landing on Song Ju'an's empty bookshelf.
She walked over, stood behind Song Ju'an, and placed a few books on it.
Song Ju'an turned around suspiciously, just as she turned around to see what he was writing, the two looked at each other, "That...... Didn't I learn to read, I bought a few books and put them here, and you can teach me later! ”
"Good ......" Song Ju'an looked at her serious look, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he couldn't help but smile and lowered his head.
The curtain was torn open all of a sudden, and Cai's face was full of anger and he walked in with a limp on his face, took a look, and his eyes fell on the small package that Du Ruo rested on the table, stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and a silver hairpin and two pieces of silver fell from it.
Cai Shi only felt that his brain was booming, and he almost couldn't stand steadily, pointing at Du Ruo's whole body trembling and scolding: "Cheap hooves! Are you really going to do something nasty! Where did the silver and hairpins come from?! ”
These two things add up to seven or eight taels of silver! The family can't sell their crops for so much money!
Mrs. Wang also stretched out her head from the door to look into the house, her mouth wide open, and she looked at Du Ruo in disbelief.
There is a green building on the street of Gu Nan Town, it is a coincidence, half a month ago, a little lady in the next village, because the family is poor and can not eat, and there is a babbling child, so she secretly went to the green building to pick up guests, and after some days, it was found that the little lady hanged herself that night.
Du Ruo frowned and looked at her, standing behind Song Ju'an and not moving, she was afraid that the Cai family would suddenly pounce on her and hit her, so she stood here just to block it.
Seeing that she was silent, Cai Shi thought that his guess was confirmed, threw away the crutches, sat on the ground and cried, slapping his thighs while crying, and scolding: "What kind of sin has the old Song family created!" Married to such a mourning star! Shameless bitch! Even the face of the ancestors was disgraced! Woowoowoo......"
"Mother, why are you crying?" Song Ju'an said unhappily, he looked at Du Ruo coldly, and asked, "Tell me where this silver came from?" What did you do in Gunan Town? ”
He doesn't like to see women cry.
"I have already said that I went to find a job to do, anyway, I was idle at home, I went to Yunshui Embroidery Village, and I helped the old lady of Embroidery Village a little favor, and they rewarded me with these silvers, and also agreed that I would work in Embroidery Village." Du Ruo said.
The affairs of Qingyang Temple still have to be hidden, anyway, when she was in Qingyang Temple, Mrs. Meng gave her silver, and she confiscated it.
Cai's crying stopped abruptly, as if there was a switch. was silent, and said to Du Ruo: "It's shameless to tell a lie!" How can you help?! How could I reward you with so much silver?! ”
With this money, if nothing happens to the family, there is no need to worry about it for the next year.
"His grandson fainted from heat stroke on the side of the road, I handed over a cup of tea, people have a big business, and they can't find a place to spend their money if they have money, you are too much, and people can't see it!" She sneered.
This makes sense, but Cai's look of dying or alive just now couldn't change all of a sudden, and after Song Ju'an walked over to help her, she grabbed Song Ju'an's arm and stood up tremblingly, wiped a handful of old tears, and took the crutches handed over by Song Ju'an and held it.
Mrs. Wang walked in with a smile and couldn't help but say, "The old Song family is about to develop!" Rulan, there are only two women in our villages who are embroidery girls in the embroidery village, you have to do a good job! ”
"Humph! She's just going out and stepping on shit luck! Maybe tomorrow will go, and the latter will be driven back! Although Cai was excited, he was still full of anger on the surface.
Cai handed the two small pieces of silver that he had grabbed in his hand when he fell to the ground to Song Ju'an, "An Lang, you take it!" Take care of this family, take care of your mother-in-law! ”
Song Ju'an glanced at Du Ruo and took it in his hand.
Cai suddenly said proudly to Mrs. Wang: "At the beginning of the year, I asked people to calculate a hexagram for Ju'an, and the fortune teller said that my family life is on fire!" This year will definitely come to run, eat and drink without worry, it has really come true! ”
"Then you'll have to tell me where to go? Which fortune teller are you looking for? Mrs. Wang inquired eagerly.
The two of them walked outside as they spoke.
"At the beginning, I thought he was receiving a lot of honorarium, so I scolded the fortune teller!"
"That's right!"
When the two of them went to the hall, Du Ruo came over from the other side.
Song Ju'an looked at her calmly and began to treat her a little differently.
Du Ruo stretched out his hand to him: "Silver." ”
Song Ju'an consciously handed the silver to her, walked to the desk again, sat down and continued to write.
Du Ruo hid the silver, pulled down the bed tent and hid on the bed, changed his clothes, and took out the new dress that he had changed into to wash. Tomorrow, I want to go to Wanshan Village to celebrate the birthday of Du Rulan's mother, Zhou, she has no other clothes that catch her eyes, and she has to wear this face-filling dress.
On the second day, she freshened up and dressed up, and took out a dozen eggs that she had bought from Mrs. Wang's house the day before yesterday, and found that there were a few eggs missing, which was obvious. Du Ruo looked at Cai Shi who was sitting at the door of the hall, and found that Cai Shi was leaning against the door and pretending to be casual, squinting his eyes as if he was dozing off, but he was actually staring at her every move.
Du Ruo was speechless, and said in her heart that she would bring the pork leg she bought from Han Liang earlier, and the Cai family would definitely be even more unhappy, so she had to keep more than half of it.
When she returned to her parents' house this time, she had made up her mind to please her mother's family, so she prepared a generous gift. If Song Ju'an gives her a letter of resignation one day, she has no place to go, and she has to go back to her parents' house, this is her way back.
Du Ruo turned around a long time before she found Song Ju'an with his back to her in the large weeds behind the house, which grew half a person tall.
The ground here is wet, covered with weeds, it's okay during the day, but at night, there are a lot of mosquitoes, and the insects chirp one after another at night, Du Rulan has seen a small green snake here before, and she is so scared that she can't do it, so she rarely comes here.
She saw Song Ju'an sitting in the grass, hugging his knees, his head down, his black hair falling down to cover most of his face, and she didn't know what she was doing.
Du Ruo was in a very complicated mood for a while, could he have something sad? Can't get rid of hiding here and crying alone? Or did he do a lot of forced things to come here to repent silently?
After looking at it for a while, she had to walk over quietly, and when she came to her, she saw Song Ju'an holding a stick in his hand, poking at the ant nest on the ground with his head down, and pinching the surrounding mud to build a barrier with his hand to prevent the ants from crawling away.
Du Ruo: ".................."
Struck dumb.
"Anlang." She shouted.
Song Ju'an raised his head suddenly, turned his head and saw that it was her, there was no panic at all that was discovered, and he said indifferently: "What's the matter?" ”
"I've packed up, it's time to go and celebrate my mother's birthday, let's go!"
"I'm not going."
"What did you say?"
"I'm not going."
"Why?!" Her voice raised.
He raised his head again, looked up at the sky, and sighed with emotion: "Probably...... It's too hot, let's do it another day! ”
Du Ruo: "......"
She stood there for a moment, then turned around angrily and went home.
Not only this time, in fact, in the past, Du went to his mother's house, and Song Ju'an rarely accompanied him. Du Ruo speculated, first, he didn't like Du Rulan, he was full of disgust for her, and he felt ashamed to go with her, and second, Du Rulan's mother's house was not an ordinary mess, every time the family got together, there would definitely be quarrels and abuses, and sometimes they would fight.
Under Cai's gaze, Du Ruo walked out of the house with eggs.
Zhao Jinbao was standing at the door of his house, and when he saw her going out, he hurriedly shouted: "Rulan! Where are you going?! ”
Du Ruo glanced at him and walked straight ahead.
Zhao Jinbao called her several times in a row, and stopped when he saw that she didn't agree.
When he arrived at Han Liang's house, Han Liang was sitting on a low stool sharpening the pig knife, and when he saw her coming, he quickly glanced at it and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, the pork leg is ready!" The pig that was just killed today! The pork is fresh! ”
"Thank you! It's silver! Du Ruo took out the money.
"Didn't you say you'd pay later?" Although Han Liang was puzzled, he also took it.
"No, I just have some silver in my hand."
She took the pork leg that Han Liang had strung with a rope, mentioned that it was very difficult in her hand, weighed it a few times, and said, "Can you cut it in the middle for me?" "She carried it on her shoulder, half on one side, so it was easy to hold.
Han Liang readily agreed, picked up the pig-killing knife and turned around a few times, and then said idly: "Brother Song doesn't go with his sister-in-law?" ”
Du Ruo sneered in his heart, and his face was calm: "No, he's sick." ”
Han Liang raised his head in surprise and stared at her face a few times, but seeing that she was calm as usual, he felt more and more bottomless in his heart, could it be that she did it?
"What's the disease?!" Han Liang asked a little anxiously.
"I don't know, he was sitting on the ground stupid when he came." Du Ruo thought of his previous speculation about the relationship between the two, and saw that Han Liang was a little anxious, and he was even more sure in his heart.
Han Liang handed her the pork, and glanced at her deeply, Du Ruo took the meat and said, "Thank you, I'm leaving!" ”
After she left, Han Liang's eyes were cold, and he came out of the house and walked quickly towards the Song family.
When she walked out of the village with her things, she happened to pass by the door of Zhou Ning's mother-in-law's house, and found that the door of her house was closed, and the grass grew a little tall in the open courtyard.
Du Ruo stood there, wanting to step forward and knock on the door, but hesitated, and then raised his feet and walked forward.
As soon as I entered the door of my mother's house, someone immediately greeted her, it was Wu Xiangxiu, the daughter of Du Rulan's sister's family, who was nine years old, and Du Fenger, the son of Du Rulan's eldest brother Du Dacheng, who was five years old.
When the two of them saw that Du Ruo had taken so many things, they immediately ran over, carrying them and shouting, "Auntie, what did you take?" ”
"Do you have sugar cakes?"
"I want to eat sugar!"
When the adults in the house heard it, they all walked out, and when they saw Du Ruo alone, some of them looked disappointed, and some of them gloated, but when they saw that she had taken so many things this time, they quickly caught it.
Entering the house, "Ouch! The second sister took a pork leg! Du Dacheng shouted with a look of surprise.
The eldest sister Du Hongmei was also a little surprised, her face changed a few times, she secretly glared at her husband Wu Xing, looked at Du Ruo and said with a smile: "How did Rulan become so generous, who doesn't know that the old Song family in Donggou Village is a famous poor family, where did they get the money to buy so many things?" ”
