Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 82
"Mother, it's me." Du Wenyuan said outside the door.

Mrs. Zhao didn't open the door, "You stay outside with the guests, Xiaoyu and I will come out in a while."

Du Wenyuan was silent for a while, "Miss Wan wants to talk to Xiaoyu, it's always inconvenient for me and Junior Brother Zhuo to talk about their daughter's affairs."

Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to open the door. As soon as Du Wenyuan entered, he saw Du Xiaoyu kneeling on the ground. He had already learned what was going on from Wan Fanglin just now, so he went up and asked in a low voice, "You didn't make a mistake with your mother." Is it?"
Du Xiaoyu didn't answer, but wiped his face with his sleeve.

It seemed that the solution was not as easy as imagined, he turned back and closed the door, "Mother, I also know about this, it's not all Xiaoyu's fault, besides, she is for the eldest sister, and the eldest sister is also willing to sign for three years."

Zhao Shi was still angry, and said angrily, "You all know how to protect her, what kind of temperament you have developed now! Look at her, do you really want to change? It seems like I still called her wrong!"

"Mother, it's wrong for Xiaoyu to make her own way." Du Wenyuan understood with affection, "But I know her filial piety. If you want to say it's a lie, didn't she and father hide the fact that mother's cold melon was smashed last time? After all, I was afraid that mother would be sad, it is already very good for her to be able to do this at such a young age." He paused, "I did something wrong back then, mother can forgive me, so why can't she forgive Xiaoyu?"

Hearing that he mentioned going to see his grandmother privately, Mrs. Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered what her little daughter had said to her earlier when she wanted Du Huanghua to learn embroidery. Looking at Du Wenyuan again, she couldn't help but feel sour. Could it be the meat of the heart?
"Xiaoyu, do you know why my mother beat you?" She walked up to Du Xiaoyu.

Du Xiaoyu took a breath and didn't speak.

"Then you should know why I beat your second brother last time!" Zhao said, "How did our family get here all these years? Isn't it because of mutual trust? I believe in your father, and your father also believes in it." Me, and your eldest sister has always been prudent, and never lied to me before. You said you were doing Huang Hua's favor, but you just persuaded her to deceive her parents? You think that I, a mother, don't really love you children, do you?" She cried as she spoke, "I can't wait to dig out my heart to you!"

Seeing her crying, Du Xiaoyu panicked, "Mom, I didn't think so."

Zhao looked at her with tears in her eyes, "If I can make Huang Hua live a better life, wouldn't I still refuse? But you want to lie to me with her, and guard against a mother like me!"

Seeing her heartbroken, Du Xiaoyu said earnestly, "Mother, I was wrong in the past, but now I know that you love my sister, and I will never lie to you again!"

Du Wenyuan also persuaded, "Xiaoyu really knows her mistake now, mother, don't be sad, forgive her."

Du Xiaoyu got up and took out a handkerchief to wipe away tears for Mrs. Zhao, and sincerely repented, "Mother, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have persuaded my sister to lie, and I shouldn't have allowed Aunt Qin to take the blame. This is all my fault." It was thought up by one person..."

Now Du Xian was carrying two lanterns, dragged a fishing net, and walked into the main room with a thick cloak on his right arm, only to see Zhang Zhuoyu, two cousins, and Lin Song were there. Went to look for Mrs. Zhao in the bedroom, who knew it was a mess.

"What's the matter? Lady, Xiaoyu, open the door quickly."

Du Wenyuan opened the door, and he rushed in immediately.

"What's the matter? What happened when I went out? Lady, Xiaoyu, who bullied you? Wen Yuan, tell me!" Du Xian was anxious.

Mrs. Zhao wiped her eyes, "It's okay, it's just that life was hard before."

Du Xiaoyu also secretly wiped his face beside him.

"Hey, why are you bringing up these things again!" Du Xian was very puzzled, "What are you doing in the room if you don't come to accompany the guests today? Damn, I borrowed the cloak too, you find two suitable ones Big buckets come out for crabs."

"Mom." Du Xiaoyu called timidly, afraid that she would not calm down.

Mrs. Zhao rubbed her hair, and said angrily, "You want to hear what I said, but your father said it, and you still don't go out. Didn't Wen Yuan just say that Miss Wan is looking for you."

To say that is to forgive her, Du Xiaoyu relieved her heart, went out with a smile, and stopped at the door of the main room, only to feel her face was cold, she couldn't help laughing at herself, she was crying like this even in her twenties , I really think I am a child, and I don’t know if Zhang Zhuoyu and the others know, but they are beaten with a ruler. It’s really embarrassing!She was embarrassed to go in for a moment.

Du Wenyuan followed and asked behind him, "Does your hand hurt?"

"Why doesn't it hurt?" Du Xiaoyu pouted, "Try if you get beaten."

He took a few steps to grab her hand and looked at it, "Fortunately, I didn't hit her a few times," rubbing her lightly, "Can't you admit your mistake earlier? You have to make so many excuses, no wonder Mom is angry."

"Anyway, I'll fight anyway, what's the use of being an afterthought!"

"Look, you are like this," Du Wenyuan nodded her head, "Mother is right, it will be difficult to find a husband in the future!"

"It's a big deal not to look for it." Du Xiaoyu snorted.

"Isn't your ambition small? Do you want to be a Taoist nun?"

Taoist nun?She would be willing if she could cultivate into a god.

The two were talking, Zhang Zhuoyu came out and said, "Aunt Zhao calmed down? I was also negligent about this matter and forgot to tell my cousin, otherwise Xiaoyu wouldn't be blamed."

He knew about this matter, and he was also a person who participated in the whole process. Just now, when he saw Du Xiaoyu and Du Wenyuan went outside one after another, he realized that something was wrong. After asking, he knew that Wan Fanglin had inadvertently revealed Du Huanghua's three-year contract.

"It's none of your business, anyway, mother will find out sooner or later." If you procrastinate, if you find a good marriage, you don't have to swell her hand, but now that you think about it, you should have confessed at the beginning. Yes?Now it broke her heart.

Seeing Du Wenyuan rubbing her hands, Zhang Zhuoyu asked, "What's wrong with your hands?"

Du Xiaoyu hurriedly retracted her hands and hid behind her back, "No, it's fine."

Seeing her embarrassment, Zhang Zhuoyu laughed, "I used to annoy my mother a lot, because I didn't study hard, and I don't know how many times I was beaten, all with a big ruler."

Du Xiaoyu stopped hiding, and said sympathetically, "Is your mother so strict? Then you are miserable?"

"Yeah, I was young at that time, and then I worked hard to study, but it was because of this that I was able to be admitted to the scholar."

It didn't sound angry at all, it seemed that he was still grateful to his mother, and he really had a good temper, Du Xiaoyu smiled at him, "Just now Dad borrowed two lanterns, let's go catch crabs!"

Mrs. Zhao also found two wooden barrels. Du Wenyuan and Zhang Zhuoyu modified the fishing nets together. The five of them each took their tools and headed to the river.

The Fuliu River surrounding Beidong Village is now lit up on both sides. It seems that they are not the only ones who come to catch crabs. Du Xian found a good place and spread some straw on the ground for Zhang Zhuoyu and Wan Fanglin to sit.

Du Wenyuan helped tidy up the messy fishing nets, and took the ropes at the upper and lower ends before throwing them into the river.

Du Xiaoyu held two big lanterns by the water, looked up, and saw the moon in the night sky like a plate, reflected in the river water, which was quite beautiful.

For a while, everyone held their breath and concentrated, and Du Wenyuan suddenly said softly, "It's moving, it's moving."

"Take it quickly!" Du Xiaoyu said excitedly.

"What's the rush, you have to be patient when catching crabs, and you have to calm down." Du Xian followed Bai Shiying to fish a few times, and talked about his experience, "Catch the crabs at the right time, and wait."

After a while, Du Wenyuan quickly gathered two handfuls of upper ropes, and then tightened the upper and lower ropes together to drag the net up.

Several people gathered around to have a look, Du Xiaoyu said disappointedly, "Ah, there are only two!"

"It's still faster." Du Xian commented.

Zhang Zhuoyu went up to grab the two crabs and took a closer look, exclaiming, "This crab is good, it must be delicious!"

Du Xiaoyu was about to drool when he heard this, and urged Du Wenyuan to say, "Second brother, hurry up, throw the net down again!"

Seeing the two staring at the crab, Du Wenyuan clicked his tongue twice, shook his head and said, "The two gluttons got together."

Du Xian couldn't help laughing.

Wan Fanglin also covered his mouth and laughed lightly, and reminded again, "Cousin, come up a little bit, your shoes are stained with water in the river."

A total of 25 crabs were caught that night, and they were kept in wooden barrels, crawling and clattering.

When Du Xiaoyu went to the kitchen to pour water, Zhao Shi whispered, "Is it suitable for Miss Wan to sleep in our house? Although we share a room with Xiaoyu, our Wen Yuan is big."

"What are you thinking about?" Du Xian said, "Miss Wan is only ten years old, why should I pay attention to these things, otherwise Mrs. Wan would not let them come to play, besides, you treat them as their daughter Jingui? Our little fish is also a girl Home, Mr. Zhang still lives here, so what should I say?"

Mrs. Zhao made sense. Wan's family is a family of merchants. They may act carelessly. I'm afraid they are too worried, but the treatment is naturally excellent. They took out brand-new quilts to cover them, and told their sons and daughters to sleep carefully and don't mess with them. Wake up others.

Wan Fanglin is not delicate. Although she is well-clothed and well-fed at home, she doesn't show any dislike in the village. Du Xiaoyu likes her very much, so she talked for a long time before turning off the lights and resting.

On the second day, the four of them went to the martial arts hall to see how to teach martial arts. Zhang Zhuoyu saw that Du Wenyuan had learned a few sword moves under Lin Song's guidance. I'm afraid that if I don't want to, I have to give up.

As for yesterday's incident, the villagers saw that Widow Qiu could walk and jump, and they were sure that she was uneasy and kindly pretending to be injured, and the village chief didn't want to care about this hot potato, so now even if Widow Qiu is really hurt, there is nowhere to complain. He just hid at home and cursed Lin Song and Du Xian's family tens of thousands of times.

At noon, everyone went back to eat. They steamed the crabs in the pan and dipped them in ginger vinegar. Needless to say, it was delicious, and the whole table was full of laughter.

This kind of time always passes quickly, and the blink of an eye is the time of parting.

Du Xiaoyu saw the carriage pick them up, feeling very melancholy, pulled Zhao Shi and said in a low voice, "Mother, give me a brother and sister quickly, the house is really deserted!"

"What nonsense?" Mrs. Zhao immediately blushed and hurriedly turned and went into the back room.

Du Xiaoyu snickered, folded his hands and silently prayed to God, little brother, little sister, come quickly, sister will make you fatter!
Two more at seven o'clock in the evening~
