Chapter 107

Du Xuan's face changed.

Qi Yan was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you report to the official."

Qi Yan is used to being taciturn, and he talks very little in front of her, and he talks so little in front of outsiders that he is almost dumb.

Wang Mazi was a little surprised at the sudden sound at this moment, probably because he didn't expect him to speak, and his voice was quite nice.

Du Xuan didn't make a sound.

Qi Yan paused, and then said, "They should go to court and get whipped."

Qi Yan's face was calm, and his already indifferent face became even colder.

His disgust and resentment came in a simple and direct way, which actually calmed down Du Xuan's previously uneasy mood.

"Forget it, this family is probably not going to stop in the future. Look, they have a lot of opportunities to take a big whip." Du Xuan's previously cold expression recovered now.

He smiled and said to Wang Mazi, "Uncle Mazi, thank you."

"There is nothing to thank." Wang Mazi sighed, "I didn't help much."

"If I hadn't heard from you, I wouldn't have known that my mother was always thinking about me. I have a grudge against her in my heart. If I didn't know it all the time, I don't know how long I would have to blame her." Du Xuan said.

Wang Mazi persuaded, "Mother and daughter don't have so much resentment and hatred, just talk about everything."

The mule cart swings towards the next town.

Zhao'an Village is located in Dingkang Town in Huaining County, and the next town is called Ningkang Town.

Du Xuan's mother-in-law's family is from Yongning Village, Ningkang Town.

It's just that the carpenter has been living in the town with his mother and the two children who were born later because he has been making a living in the town all year round.

The carpenter's name was Yan Kang, he was not too tall, and because of a problem with one leg, he was always limping and dragging his legs, making the center of gravity on one side for a long time, making him appear smaller.

Du Xuan's mother's surname is Fang, and her boudoir name is Fang Xiaomei. After she got married, she was called Mei Niang.

Now, I live with my husband and children at the turnip crossing in the east of Ningkang Town.

The front door facing the road outside is used as the shop of Yan carpenter, and a small patio in the back yard and a few rooms are the living quarters of the family.

Fang Meiniang is a gentle and hardworking person who keeps the house in order. Although the yard and the house are not big, everything is clean and tidy.

There is a small wooden pavilion in the courtyard, inside is a set of wooden tables and chairs.

The whole family will eat here when the weather is good. The pavilion, tables and stools are also to show others the craftsmanship of Yan carpenter, and to do better business.

There are still grape racks, and the grapes are already ripe and out of season, and the racks are bare, but it is not difficult to imagine what it will look like in summer and autumn.

There is still a very small vegetable field in the yard, just a few ridges, no crops can be grown, just some vegetables for the family to eat.

When she came to the door of the house that was used as a storefront, Du Xuan stopped in her tracks, "Here we are."

Qi Yan raised his eyes and glanced at the shop in front of him.

Although it is not big, the door plaque is very meticulous. It is a thick piece of wood, the wood is very good, and it has been carefully polished. There are four words engraved on it - Yan's carpenter.

It's just ordinary characters, but it's not difficult to see that it should take a lot of effort and money to get someone to write such a single character to engrave a plaque.

Du Xuan stood at the door and watched for a while.

Hanging around her neck, Xiaobao asked in a low voice, "Mother, don't we go in?"

Du Xuan paused before saying, "Come in."

Xiaobao thought for a while, "Mom, do I call her grandma?"

"You can call me grandma or grandma, it's up to you." Du Xuan bent her lips and smiled.

He took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.Although I don't have any thoughts of avenging the original owner, from the beginning to the end, I just hope that I can live a better life and let my children live a better life.

But if the relationship with the mother can be reconciled, it is undoubtedly a very good thing.

Du Xuan walked in.

The Yan family's carpentry shop was kept very clean. All kinds of tools needed for carpentry, the big ones were neatly hung on the wall, and the small ones were neatly displayed on the table.

As soon as you walk in, you can smell the unique smell that only sawing wood can have.

To be honest, this smell is not only not unpleasant, but also has a thick mellowness, which seems to make people's whole heart settle down.

"What are you going to do?" A male voice came from behind the counter, "You can make tables, chairs, benches, bed doors, cabinets, and longevity door plaques."

There is no glass in this world, so the counter is really a wooden cabinet, impenetrable to light.

The people huddled behind the cabinet couldn't see the situation outside, they just greeted people when they came in... Interesting to say, the door of this shop was like the one Du Xuan had seen in her previous life.

A bell was tied, and whenever someone came in, it would tinkle.

Du Xuan knew that this should be her stepfather talking behind the counter, but he didn't show up, so she regarded her as an ordinary customer, so she couldn't say much, so she followed the rhythm of ordinary customers and looked at the of various woods.

He asked casually, "If you want to make a bed, you'd better make three beds, two big ones and one small one. The big one should be five feet wide and six and a half feet long. The small one should be three feet wide and six and a half feet long."

The person behind the cabinet, hearing Du Xuan's words, thought it was a layman who came in, so he kindly persuaded, "It's too long to use, and it's a waste of wood and labor. It's enough to make five and a half feet. .”

"No, my family is big and needs to be six and a half feet long. It doesn't need to be too complicated, just an ordinary canopy bed. It should be stronger. The wood should be insect-proof and mildew-proof." Du Xuan said.

Qi Yan is tall, so the bed is too short. In fact, the bed boards on the two stacks of bricks in their dilapidated room are still a bit short.

Since we want to make new ones, we should naturally focus on making them comfortable and suitable.

The person behind the counter finally stood up while talking, "Don't worry, the wood here is good, and the tung oil can prevent insects and mildew for a while. If it's not good at any time, just add oil. You... "

Yan Kang stood up and saw the person standing outside the counter, his expression froze and his voice stopped abruptly.

Du Xuan looked at him quietly. Originally, she thought that the stepfather of the original owner should not recognize her, but in the current state, it seemed that the stepfather obviously recognized her.

Du Xuan thought about it, nodded politely, and said, "Excuse me."

Yan Kang stared at her for a long time, then sighed softly, "I thought you didn't plan to visit your mother any more in your life."

Du Xuan was silent for a few seconds, the corners of her mouth slightly curved, "Is she alright?"

Yan Kang shook his head, "No, the doctor said that I'm afraid we won't be able to survive this winter."
