Song Ju'an tapped his fingers on the table, his expression was cold, and he didn't say anything.

Cao Wang hurriedly smiled and said: "You understand, you still understand, don't worry, I will be good to Yinhua in the future!" ”

Du Ruo glanced at Song Ju'an, and said in his heart, if Song Ju'an really opened his mouth to let Song Yinhua go back, Song Yinhua would definitely not be able to stay, isn't this going to force people to death?

"Second sister, what do you think?" Song Ju'an turned his head and asked Song Yinhua in the house.

"I'm not going back!" Song Yinhua cried and whimpered, covered with a quilt.

"Second brother-in-law, please go back! Before the fire is lit at home to cook, you will not be left here to eat. Du Ruo immediately got up to see off the guests, she was afraid that Song Ju'an would change her mind.

Seeing this, Cao Wang let out a cold snort in his nose and said, "If you don't go back, return the dowry to me!" Mother-in-law, I don't want it! ”

Du Ruo sneered and sneered: "You think beautifully, if you want us to return the dowry, then you will return a yellow flower girl to our Song family!" ”

"You, you! What is your Song family?! As the saying goes, the water spilled by the married daughter, my mother-in-law won't let me take it away, I will go to the government to sue you! Cao Wang said angrily, his face flushed with anger.

Song Ju'an also stood up and said to him: "It's dark today, you can go to the yamen to sue tomorrow!" After speaking, he glanced at Du Ruo and scolded: "Go cook!" ”

Cao Wang's nose was smoking, he thought that this time the Song family was as good at talking as before, he just said a few words, but he didn't expect to hit a nail this time!

As he walked out, he said loudly, "Good! Good! You wait! I want to see what your Song family is! ”

After this day, Song Yinhua's eyes changed when she looked at Du Ruo, and she became a little kind, she didn't expect Du Ruo to defend her and keep her.

Granny Cai secretly hated that she didn't beat Du to death that day.

After eating and taking a bath, Du Ruo went back to his room to sleep.

When I entered the door, I saw Song Ju'an lying on the mat on the ground, holding a book in his hand, still ignoring her.

Du Ruo was also used to it, walked to the bed, took off her shoes, she looked down at the embroidery on her shoes, remembered Song Yinhua making shoes, and put on embroidered shoes and went to Song Yinhua's room.

Song Ju'an lay on the mat, glanced sideways at the closed door, and frowned slightly.

Du Ruo asked Song Yinhua to take out the upper of the shoe for her to see, thought about it, and said to her: "Why don't I draw a few embroidery samples, you can embroider the flowers!" This can sell for an extra penny, and these two pairs of shoes are two pennies! ”

"It's easy to draw embroidery samples, and so will I, what if there is no embroidery thread at home?" Song Yinhua was worried.

The two of them took the upper of the shoe for a while, discussing what to embroider on it, and after a while, Du Ruo put down the upper in his hand and said to her: "About the embroidery thread, I will ask An Lang." ”

She returned to the West House, Song Ju'an was sitting at the table reading a book, very fascinated, and heard the squeak of the wooden door, and his face was impatient.

Du Ruo walked up to him and sat down, "An Lang, is there any money in the family?" "Since Father Song fell ill, Song Ju'an seems to be in charge of the family's money.

"There's still a bunch of money, what are you going to do?" He finally looked away from the book and looked at her.

"The second sister wants to buy some embroidery thread."

"My father and mother are sick in bed, and they need to buy medicine every once in a while, and the money is used for emergency relief and can't be moved." Song Ju'an's tone was cold and hard.

"When the upper is embroidered and sold at the market, won't it make money?" Du Ruo asked rhetorically.

"Nope." He flatly refused.

He never thought that managing a small family would be so difficult, and those who were rich and rich and money were like mud and money seemed to be in a previous life.

"Why are you an elm head? Don't you understand the truth that money makes money? Du Ruo tried to calm himself as much as possible.

She has always disliked quarrels and disputes, but now she also has to think of ways to make money, she has been thinking about it for several days, and she feels that she can't let the Song family fall into poverty.

Otherwise, when will she be a head with suffering and sin?

Listening to her words, Song Ju'an smiled instead, as if she understood everything, and even reasoned with him.

Seeing him laughing, Du Ruo immediately became vigilant, after getting along for the past few days, Du Ruo felt that Song Ju'an's cold face was not terrible, but laughter was terrible.

"The village chief told me that in another month, when the village recruits new students, let me go to the school to teach." He didn't want to talk to Du Shi, after all, the matter was not completely settled, and she was always going around talking to people.

Du Ruo knew that Liang Zhiyuan and Liang Xiucai had always been at odds with Song Ju'an, and he had also gone to the school to teach students before, and those students didn't know how to be instigated by Liang Xiucai, saying that Song Ju'an was not good at teaching, and bombarded him from power.

Song Ju'an himself didn't have much interest in teaching, and Du Ruo heard that he seemed to dislike those students for being too stupid.

"It's fine." Du Ruo nodded, making money and eating.

She sighed, and walked to the other side to look for something, and at the head of the bed rested an old paulownia box with a hole in the rat bite, which was not locked, and in the box were a few worn-out cotton clothes, all washed and white.

In the iron box under the small window, there is a silver hairpin, a white orchid on it, the workmanship is quite exquisite, put here for too long, the hairpin has oxidized and blackened, this is Du Rulan's marriage, her mother's family bought her dowry, her only jewelry.

Du Ruo put the hairpin on his head and rummaged around the room.

Song Ju'an flipped through a few pages of the book, and when he saw that she still didn't stop, he couldn't help but feel upset, and he didn't have the heart to read.

"What are you looking for?!" He asked angrily.

"Find out if there's anything of value!" Du Ruo replied.

Song Ju'an now feels more and more that this woman is not a little conscious, she is much bolder, she is straightforward in everything she does, and that kind of restrained, uneasy, shy and panicked look seems to have never been seen again.

"Nothing of value!" He said.

Du Ruo walked over, pulled off the silver hairpin on his head, and handed it to him: "You sell this hairpin tomorrow!" Use the money to buy some embroidery thread and come back. ”

Song Ju'an glanced at it and didn't pick it up, "Do you really want to sell it?" ”

Du Ruo put the hairpin in front of him, and his tone was affirmative: "Sell it!" ”

"No need!" He closed the book, his eyes were deeper and darker, and he felt very puzzled in his heart, what happened to Du Shi in the past two days? always felt that something was abnormal, although some of the things she did still made his scalp tingle.

"I'll go to the market tomorrow and buy it." Song Ju'an got up, put the books in the box containing the books, and adjusted the position of a few misplaced books.

Seeing him agree, Du Ruo smiled and walked back to bed to sleep.

The next day, out of anger, Cai Shi lay in bed and refused to eat.

The daughter-in-law is not good, she doesn't take her in her eyes all day long, and she can't give birth to children, the old man has been sick, and now even his daughter is disobedient, in her opinion, the old Song family is about to collapse!

Song Yinhua coaxed her, but was scolded again, and Song Yinhua also lay on the bed sadly and cried.

After Song Ju'an went to the market, Du Ruo didn't care about them, took out the upper made by Song Yinhua, found charcoal from the stove, used it as a pen, moved a stool to sit on the threshold, and began to draw embroidery patterns. In modern times, she majored in painting, and after graduation, she did this job, which was a piece of cake for her.

Slowly depicted, and added a little creativity of his own, and the lotus, dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, tiger roaring mountain forest......

In front of her, Mrs. Wang came out of her house, stood at the door with her hands and looked at Du Ruo for a long time, she wanted to go to Song's house and sit down with Granny Cai to gossip, and avoided Du Ruo at home.

Seeing that Du Shi sat motionless for most of the day, she pursed her lips, and finally limped and walked towards Song's house.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Wang asked her with a smile.

Du Ruo raised his head, "Mother-in-law, how do you see my cut?" She handed her the cut to her.

Mrs. Wang was originally curious, so she stretched out her hand to take it and take a look, her two eyes glared at the boss, and she was surprised: "You cut this?!" ”

"Hmm."

"Where did you get such a good craft?!" Mrs. Wang looked at her hand, although she was surprised, but she didn't believe that this was done by Du Ruo, what else would this mother-in-law do except to play tricks?

"Look at what my mother-in-law said, who doesn't have any strengths!" Du Ruo stood up, patted the ash on her skirt, put the things in the sewing basket, and turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

Mrs. Wang still didn't believe it, so she followed her in, and said: "You used to do needlework, like hands and feet, and the things you made are honest, not good-looking!" Why did you suddenly become clever? It's made of honeysuckle, right? ”

Walking into the hall, Song Yinhua sat on the stool with her face covered, listening to her mother count herself.

"Second sister, I cut the embroidery sample, An Lang buys the embroidery thread and comes back, you can do it." Du Ruo put things in front of her.

Song Yinhua glanced at it, she was sad, and was immediately attracted by those embroidery samples, "Rulan, this is what you cut?" She was surprised.

Du Ruo answered and went back to the house.

Mrs. Wang didn't believe it, but when she saw Song Yinhua's surprised look, she was willing to believe it, and hurriedly showed the embroidery sample to Granny Cai, who was also speechless in surprise.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly went home, brought the tiger head upper that the family wanted to make for her nephew, pushed open the door of the West House with a smile, and said to Du Ruo, who was sitting on the bed: "Rulan, you can help me, cut a few embroidery samples for me!" ”

Du Ruo was changing clothes, she suddenly pushed the door in without saying hello, Du Ruo was startled, but she didn't have the same knowledge as her, asked her to sit down, took it from her hand and looked at it, and put it on the table, "My eyes hurt today, Ming'er!" ”

"Hey! That's done! Mrs. Wang stood up and walked out, pouting as she went.

After Song Ju'an bought the embroidery thread back, Song Yinhua worked fast, even three to four embroidery, Du Ruo traced the things that Wang Pozi asked her to cut, and cut it for her to get it.

Tiger head shoes are actually much the same, almost all of them are made for children, but Du Ruo cut them more complicatedly, and added a lot of tangled branches and flowers to tell her how to match the color.

After Mrs. Wang got the embroidery sample, Le's mouth grinned to the root of her ears, to be honest, it was the first time she had seen such a complicated pattern! I didn't expect this lazy woman to have a pair of skillful hands! For the first time, he praised Du Ruo in front of Granny Cai.

Song Ju'an naturally saw the embroidery patterns cut out by Du Ruo, and he was not a little surprised.
