Chapter 43 The Dong Family
But she thought about it, and finally pointed to the Cuihua at the door and said to her cousin: "Then tomorrow morning, I will let Cuihua wait for my cousin at the side door. After my cousin passes, I will go to see my mother-in-law, and then go to our house." Time Huanyuan."

Dong Shu was also afraid that her cousin would not understand the rules, so she reminded Dong Lei in this way.

Dong Lei didn't expect that his cousin would have learned to speak in such a suggestive way after only seeing each other for more than a month.

Looking up at Xu Shiqiu who was standing next to his cousin, Dong Lei knew in his heart that all of this was probably due to the third son of the Xu family.

At the same time, Dong Lei was also thinking in his heart that the life of the Xu family might be difficult, otherwise the cousin would not have learned this in more than a month.

Xu Shiqiu also understood Dong Shu's hint to Dong Lei, but he agreed with what the little lady said.

He didn't care about these things, and he didn't treat the Dong family as the little lady's natal family, but in his mother's eyes, the Dong family was the little lady's natal family.

Tomorrow is the first time someone from the little lady's natal family will come to the door, so naturally you need to pay attention.

Because of these things, Xu Shiqiu didn't say anything more.

Dong Lei saw that Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu really didn't want to stay, so he didn't force them to stay, but insisted on sending them out on crutches.

Just as Dong Lei sent Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu to the door, he happened to meet Dai Shi and Dong Miao who came back after hearing the news from the field.

In addition to these few people from the Dong family, Dong Shu also saw Liu'er from the neighbor's house standing at the door and looking towards here from the corner of her eyes.

As soon as she saw Liu'er, Dong Shu subconsciously moved towards Xu Shiqiu's side.

Sensing the little lady's movements, Xu Shiqiu also quickly noticed the head that had just retracted in the next yard.

Xu Shiqiu looked at the courtyard next door for just a split second, then he looked away, looked at Dong Shu, and asked her if she wanted to stop talking.

Sensing Xianggong's questioning gaze, Dong Shu paused slightly, then looked at her uncle, aunt and cousin and nodded.

Dong Shu didn't plan to talk to the uncle and the others, she nodded her head as a greeting, then looked at her cousin behind her and said, "Cousin, we'll go back first. You go tomorrow morning and stay at my place for lunch at noon. I'm afraid I won't be back until the afternoon." After saying this, Dong Shu ignored her cousin's probing and envious eyes, and directly took Xu Shiqiu's arm, preparing to leave.

Xu Shiqiu watched Dong Shu say this, but he didn't say anything, but took her directly away from the door of Dong's house.

As soon as Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu left, Cuihua naturally followed quickly.

Seeing them leaving like this, Dai Shi was about to scold Dong Shu as a 'white-eyed wolf', when Dong Lei looked at her and shook his head: "Mother, just now Shu'er and the third son are looking for something to do with me." After saying this , Dong Lei leaned on crutches and turned to enter the courtyard, and then said: "You come in, I will tell you."

Upon hearing Dong Lei's words, Dai immediately suppressed the words in his throat, and followed him into the yard first.

Uncle Dong's family didn't understand what happened. He subconsciously looked at Dong Miao beside him, but Dong Miao was also frowning.

In fact, Dong Miao's heart is more envious of Dong Shu, and she even has a bold idea in her heart.

If her mother had sold her to the Xu family back then, wouldn't this be the lady who wore such a beautiful dress and went out with her maid?

Dong Miao didn't say this to anyone, but just thought about it for a moment.

But the way Dong Shu appeared in front of her wearing a beautiful dress she had never seen before was still deeply etched in her mind.

Just as Dong Lei entered the main room and sat down, Dong Zhen, who was hiding in the room, also came out with a pack of dim sum that he had eaten.

Looking at the pack of dim sum on the table in the main room and the pack in the hand of the youngest son, Dai finally couldn't hold back and said, "I'm ashamed to come back to my mother's house with two packs of dim sum! The Xu family has so much money, it's actually a little money." I can’t bear to cut the meat.”

Dai's voice was not low, as if he was deliberately speaking to Dong Shu who had just left.

At least Liu'er, who was lying on the wall of her house and eavesdropping, heard Dai Shi's words clearly.

Hearing his mother's words, Dong Lei first sighed, and then looked at his mother with a little excitement and said: "Mother, don't do this. Shu'er and the third son came to me today because they arranged a job for me.

If I do this job well, our family will no longer sell our niece for 20 taels of silver.

When I go to work, I can earn Miao Er's dowry and my own money for getting married, and I can send my younger brother to study. "

Dong Lei had just finished speaking, but the first one who was surprised was Uncle Dong who didn't talk much.

Dong Dahong looked at Dong Lei in surprise, seeing his serious expression, swallowed the saliva in his mouth nervously, and then confirmed: "Lei'er, are you telling the truth?"

Hearing Dong Dahong's words, Dai asked in a hurry: "That girl Shu'er, does she really know how to help her mother's family?"

Dai's voice was not low, Liu'er, who was hiding in her courtyard, immediately wanted to get closer to hear it more clearly after hearing this.

But this time Dong Lei has already looked at his mother first and said softly: "Mother, your voice is also softer. You can't go out and talk about this matter, if someone is jealous of my job, what will I do?
As for asking Shu'er to take care of her mother's family, you should say less in the future.

As long as we don't bother Shu'er and let her live with the third young master at ease, the benefits in the future will definitely not be less. "

It has to be said that Dong Lei still understood his mother's thoughts very well. As soon as the words came out, Dai Shi immediately squeezed half of his throat, looked at him and asked: "What kind of work did your husband arrange for you?"

As soon as Dai's words fell, Dong Miao looked at her brother expectantly.

Dong Miao knew in her heart that if she wanted to marry a good man, she could only rely on her elder brother to be successful.

Otherwise, according to her mother's intention a few days ago, at the end of this year, I'm afraid she will give her a random family, so that she can marry her brother in exchange for money.

Just now, she wanted to exchange ideas with Dong Shu, but she also suppressed this meeting.

Dong Miao is not stupid, she knows that it is impossible to marry Xu Shiqiu, the only thing she can look forward to is her brother's success, and then rely on her brother to marry a good family.

Dong Zhen will also stare at his elder brother without turning his eyes. Just now he heard his elder brother say that he will send him to school to learn how to read.

This matter is very novel to him, and he is very yearning to go to school one day, and then come back to show off with his friends.

Seeing the whole family looking at him expectantly, Dong Lei immediately raised the corners of his lips and said, "It's the steward. But first, I'm going to the Xu family to learn how to read and calculate accounts with the third son.

After my legs get better, the third son will arrange for me to follow the other stewards of the Xu family to learn how to be a qualified steward.

It will take about three months, and when the shops in the county are vacated and repaired, I can be in charge. "

After Dong Lei's voice fell, no one spoke in the main room of the Dong family.

Everyone in the Dong family, including Dai Shi, thought that Dong Lei would most likely go to the Xu family's shop as a clerk, after all, he was a clerk in a restaurant before.

They never expected that Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu would ask Dong Shu to be in charge.

Steward, that's a steward with at least one tael of silver a month!

Dong Lei looked at his parents and siblings in surprise, and his heart was actually not too peaceful this time.

He had indeed thought about the position of steward before today.

But he always felt that even if he had been working as a waiter in a restaurant before, he had to be at least 30 years old if he wanted to be in charge.

But now, as long as he studies hard, he can become a steward this year.

And all this is because the cousin married a good man.

Because Dong Lei said this, no one in Dong's house spoke for a while, and Liu'er, who was hiding on the wall of her own house and eavesdropping, couldn't hear anything, so she could only leave angrily, and instead thought about making something to eat, waiting for tomorrow Dong Zhen told her.

But she didn't know that after Dong Lei finished speaking, he specially told the whole family that this matter must not be disclosed before he was in charge.

What if someone is jealous of him and robs him of this matter?
Dong Lei knew in his heart that this possibility was almost impossible, but in order to scare his family, he still said it very seriously.

And after what he said, the whole family, including Dai Shi who wanted to go out to show off, gave up on showing off with his cousin Xiao Dai later.

But she knew that when Dong Shu came back last time, her cousin Xiao Dai made a special effort to get close to her.

My cousin also has a son, but he is two years younger than Lei'er, and he is also old enough to go out to work.

She must hold back, and not let her cousin have the opportunity to go to Dong Shu to steal the job in charge.

Dai's thoughts were all on his face, and Dong Lei saw that his mother had indeed stopped showing off, and then looked at Dong Zhen again for a while.

"Be good these days, and when my elder brother goes to work in the county, he will send you to the school to study, and he will bring you delicious food every time he comes back.

But you must not tell others about this. You can only tell others after your eldest brother goes to the county to gain a firm foothold, understand? "

Dong Lei was afraid that his mother and younger brother would show off the matter. His mother couldn't help but want to show off, and his younger brother would also show off with his friends.

As for his father who was able to hide his words, his sister was smart, and she would definitely understand what he meant when he said it.

While the Dong family was discussing this matter, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu also started to walk slowly towards the Xu family.

Because there was no rush, the two of them walked all the way admiring the scenery on the road. When they saw beautiful flowers, Xu Shiqiu even stopped to ask Dong Shu if she wanted to take them off and put them on for her.

Naturally, Dong Shu didn't want to let Xu Shiqiu give her hairpins here, and the two laughed and played all the way back to Shihuan Courtyard, and saw several flower buds on the pomegranate tree that Xu Shiqiu picked earlier.

Seeing the flower bones hidden in the leaves, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu froze in place.

After staring at those flower bones for a while, the two of them suddenly looked at each other with understanding, and then both showed a sincere smile.

The happiest thing in life is that the one you love is by your side, waiting for the flowers to bloom with you.
