Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 27
A trace of surprise flashed in Du Wenyuan's eyes, "You..."

Du Xiaoyu explained, "Once I heard you talking to Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister said that you went to Grandma's place secretly."

So that's the case, Du Wenyuan raised his eyebrows, "Even if I really go, just pretend you don't know."

"How can I do that? Such a big matter can't be covered by fire, and the grandma can't hide it if she comes forward. Mother will definitely not be happy if she finds out. What she cares most is that you go to get close to the grandma!" Du Xiaoyu shook his hands. Sleeve, said seriously, "Although there is money and a lot of land over there, our family has one heart, doesn't it?"

Unexpectedly, she said such a thing, Du Wenyuan stared at her, and paused every word, "Then let me ask you, do you hate her for kicking our family out?"

She froze, not knowing how to answer.

Because I don't know the reason inside.

There is no emotion in her eyes, no hatred, no resentment, only clear as water.

Du Wenyuan looked at her and nodded suddenly, "Okay, I promise you, I won't go to find my mother-in-law, but you have to find a way out."

"Ah?" Du Xiaoyu exclaimed, "Why should I think about it, don't you want to?"

Du Wenyuan turned around and left.

She stood there alone in a daze, not knowing why he was so changeable.

But just think about it, nothing can trouble her. At this time, she finally stopped panicking. Maybe it was just too sudden just now. Thinking about it now, isn't it just ten acres of wasteland? Two taels of silver, plus the income from selling incense, and after deducting the cost of buying Lao Litou’s fertile land, there are still ten taels of silver in total.

Ten taels of silver is enough to open a small shop, so what is there to be afraid of?
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and things would be much easier to handle once she had the confidence. Since Mrs. Liu is afraid of old ladies, if the village chief takes back what he said before, all he needs to do is make Mrs. Zhu change his mind.

If Mrs. Zhu looked down on Du Huanghua, then there would be no such thing as ungrateful.

But even though he thought so, it still took a lot of brainpower to come up with a perfect plan. Du Xiaoyu was so upset by thinking about it that day, so he ran out to relax by himself.

The October wind blew on my face with a stinging feeling. It was just early winter, but it was already like the snowy weather in the south.

Rubbing her cheeks with her hands, she walked along the ridge in the sun as much as possible.

After the autumn harvest, the fields were no longer as busy as before, and the farmers were tired, so they took advantage of this time to rest at home.

After walking for less than half a stick of incense, she suddenly saw a little baby squatting in front of her. Because her back was facing her, she couldn't tell the difference between male and female. All she could see was the messy yellow hair and torn clothes.The color of the clothes was also unclear. She walked a few steps closer, and heard low sobbing again. It turned out that the baby was crying, and she didn't know whose family it was.

"Why are you crying?" Du Xiaoyu walked over and asked.

The baby slowly raised her head, only to see a thin face full of tears, and because of her thinness, her eyes looked very big and pitiful.

She didn't speak, and lowered her head again, looking a little scared.

At this time, a "cuckoo" sounded from her body, and Du Xiaoyu laughed, "Are you crying from hunger? Your mother? Where do you live? Why don't you go back to eat?" She looks a year younger.

The little girl replied in a low voice, "I, I, I..." She sobbed again, "I lost the key, my mother is not at home, my sister doesn't know where she is, and she said she won't be back until evening."

"Oh, it's like this. It's fine if you lose the key. Just ask a locksmith to open it." Du Xiaoyu comforted her, reached out and took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket. They were taken from Wangyue Tower last time. Sesame candies and walnut candies are common to her, but she also knows that they are still rare for children in the village, so she stays and plans to win people's hearts in the future. "To fill your belly."

"Give it to me?" The little girl opened her eyes wide and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, take it and eat it." Seeing that she didn't dare to reach out to take it, Du Xiaoyu peeled a piece and put it in her mouth, "Is it delicious? Keep these as well." He asked again, "What's your name?"

The sweet taste spread in her mouth. The little girl had never eaten such delicious candy in her life, but she had seen it before, her eyes turned red when she thought about it, and she whispered, "My name is Zhou Zhou."

Du Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows when she heard that, and she is very resentful at this point because she is someone who names girls casually!Seeing that Zhou Er still didn't reach for the candy, she just put it in her pocket and said, "My name is Du Xiaoyu, it's very windy here, since your sister will come back at night, why don't you go to my house, I'll let my mother cook a bowl of noodles I'll eat it for you, the noodles rolled by my mother are delicious!"

On Tuesday, Ya looked at her with stunned eyes again.

Hey, does this child have no one to treat her well in this life?Du Xiaoyu secretly sighed, looking at the tattered clothes, maybe the family is really poor.

"Would you like to go, it's really delicious." Du Xiaoyu said with a smile, she felt compassion for this girl, honestly, she looked like a good child.

On Tuesday, she squinted her mouth. After finding out that the key was lost, she searched for a long time in this area. She was really hungry, and Du Xiaoyu looked so kind, but she still didn't nod. She lowered her head and said, "I can't find the key." , Mother will hit me, my sister will scold me, I, I will look for it again." Then he stood up.

It seems that she has been looking for it for a long time, and it is not just a key, but seeing her anxious look, it seems that the reason for crying just now may not be because of hunger, but the key.

"Let me help you find it for a while." Du Xiaoyu said, "Where did you find it missing?"

"Over there." Zhou Ya pointed to the front.

The two walked forward, and within a few steps, three people walked towards them. The first one was a young woman, wearing a brand-new rose-purple embroidered jacket, with a gold bracelet on her head, holding a fat little boy by her right hand. , was eating a candied haws in his hand, and behind the mother and son was a strong woman with a bag in her hand.

It's her little aunt Bao's, Du Xiaoyu thought to herself, the one who came out for a walk actually came to the field next to her grandmother, did she pretend not to see it for a while or something?Just as she was hesitating, she saw Bao Shi snorting disdainfully in front of her, "It's bad luck to meet you two Huazi!"

Hanako?Du Xiaoyu looked down at her body, very clean and beautiful, okay, how does she look like a flower?She dared to bet that Bao Shi must have recognized who she was, but he still wanted to take the opportunity to insult a child, it was so disgusting!
Zhou Ya heard it too, she just lowered her head and stepped aside slightly.

Seeing that Mrs. Bao was about to walk over, Du Xiaoyu said to Ya Zhou, "Ah, didn't you just say that you want to learn embroidery with my sister, but it won't take long, my sister is going to get married soon." She After a pause, he raised his voice, "After my sister gets married, our family will be rich, and my second brother will also be a high-ranking official in the future. I will treat you to delicious food then!"

Bao heard clearly, and she knew about those things. What Du Xiaoyu said about being rich was just that Du Huanghua was going to marry Mrs. Liu. How much money could a poor teacher have?She thought it was ridiculous, but when she heard that Du Wenyuan was going to be a high official, she couldn't help but stop.

She is most afraid of this nephew!

How could Du Xiaoyu know what Du Xiaoyu wanted to do on Tuesday, she just listened in a daze.

At this moment, Bao turned his head and said in surprise, "Oh, it turned out to be Xiaoyu, my aunt didn't even see it."

Bah, now that they are talking again, Du Xiaoyu pretended to have just seen it, but she didn't call her auntie, she just squinted her eyes, and then her eyes fell on the little boy's candied haws.

Bao frowned, cursed secretly, but took out the candy with a smile on his face, and asked the woman to send it over, while saying, "This little aunt gave you something to eat, just now you said that your second brother wanted Be a high official?"

"Yes." Du Xiaoyu happily took the candy and ate it, with a naive and romantic expression, "My sister said that she didn't want to marry Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu said..." She tilted her head as if Think, don't speak for a while.

"What are you talking about? Think about it quickly!" Mrs. Bao was in a hurry. It seems that Du Huanghua married Mrs. Liu is really strange. I heard that the Liu family liked Du Huanghua earlier, but they refused to return it. Now it seems that this matter is going to happen again, how did she know that this was spread maliciously by the Zhu family and the Qiu family, it was clear that the village head Yongtian was forcing Du Xian's family to submit, how could Du Huanghua really agree.

"Oh, I remembered. Mr. Liu said that if my sister marries him, he will keep my second elder brother admitted to be a scholar, and what else will he be admitted to, and what to do." Du Xiaoyu frowned, and said with great effort, " He also said he knows what Beijing, the nobles in the capital, let the second brother be an official!"

Bao's brows raised when he heard this, "Master Liu, you are a lustful hungry ghost!"At that time, she asked Du Zhang to curry favor with Mrs. Liu, treat him to food and drink, and wanted to see if there was any way for Du Zhang to be admitted as a scholar, but Mr. Liu refused every time, saying that he had to work hard on his own. Studying, but now he is giving Du Huanghua a guarantee!

This shameless person is really hiding something!

She wanted to be an official's wife, but she also thought that if Du Zhang could become an official in the future, the Du family would be in the bag, but Du Zhang was born to be able to study. She has also been desperate these years, and she just gave up last time Tell him to go home and take care of the fields, how can he know that Mr. Liu is hiding and refuses to teach!
"When will your eldest sister marry Mrs. Liu?" Bao asked with a smile, "I'm waiting for the wedding wine."

Du Xiaoyu replied, "I heard from my mother that it will be decided in these two days, because the second brother will take the examination for talent after the Chinese New Year."

So urgent!It seemed that Mrs. Liu really wanted to help Du Wenyuan, Bao Shi secretly gritted her teeth, she got what she should have said, and she turned around and left.

Seeing her walking away, Du Xiaoyu spat out the candy in his mouth on the ground.

Zhou Zhouya looked at her blankly, and said half aloud, "Is your sister getting married?"

"No wonder!" Du Xiaoyu snorted coldly, and put all the candy in her pocket on Tuesday, she didn't want to eat the candy that Bao gave her!
