Chapter 28: Something is better than nothing

PreviousBack to directoryNext
If this happened to other daughters-in-law, Mrs. Dong would be impatient and yell at them.

But this is the daughter-in-law of the youngest son whom I prefer the most. She is also related to my mother's family. In addition, the younger son is also a scholar, so I have to give his daughter-in-law some face in this family.

Therefore, the old lady didn't yell or urge her. She just glanced twice and then took it back.

The fifth daughter-in-law kept her eye open for a long time, but the blind man saw her choice. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, turned around and went to coax Dong Nuan: "Nuan Ya, fifth aunt is not feeling well today, please go and help me."

Fifth Aunt has washed the dishes, and she will give you some sweets later."

Dong Nuan was not surprised by the other party's confident attitude.

It seemed that she was used to it in the past. The previous owner honestly agreed, and Dong Nuan was not going to tolerate her bad habits.

Although washing dishes is not a big deal, but whose job it is to do it yourself, you always want to push it aside, what good things are you thinking about?

"Didn't Fifth Aunt eat a lot when she was eating? She didn't seem to feel uncomfortable at all. Maybe she just ate too much and accumulated food. It was just a good time to wash the dishes and eliminate the food so as not to fall asleep at night." Winter warmth is not straightforward either.

If you refuse, what if the other party uses his status as an elder to pressure you?

Although there is nothing to worry about in the warm winter, why bother doing it twice when it can directly hurt your heart?

Although the fifth daughter-in-law doesn't want to be a villain in front of the old man, she really doesn't want to wash the dishes. She usually hides when she can. If Dong Wu doesn't understand, then she will directly instruct Dong Nuan.

She is just a little girl, and has no status in the family. How can she refuse the arrangement of her elders?

As a result, Dong Nuan's words pierced her lungs and almost made the fifth daughter-in-law angry to death.

"You..." The fifth daughter-in-law didn't know how to retort for a moment. She raised her finger and pointed at Dong Nuan, gritting her teeth and her face was distorted.

Because Dong Laowu is a scholar, Laowu's daughter-in-law still has some status and respect among the other wives in the family.

After all, if Dong Laowu becomes successful one day, then they can still take advantage of it. Now they are coaxing his wife and not letting her take advantage of her too much. No matter how you look at it, this account is appropriate.

The fifth daughter-in-law was indeed used to being praised, but now she was humiliated by Dong Nuan, and her teeth were sore and her hands were shaking with anger.

He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Old Man Dong with a soft drink: "You can't finish a few bowls, what's the matter? What kind of master's family can't wash dishes?"

After Old Man Dong finished speaking, the fifth daughter-in-law felt her face turn red and purple for a while. She was so ashamed that she didn't even dare to raise her head, so she got up dejectedly and went to wash the dishes.

However, she started to hate Dong Nuan. After walking out for a while, she even turned around and glared at Dong Nuan.

In response, Dong Nuan smiled innocently at her.

Seeing such a warm winter, the fifth daughter-in-law became even more angry. She felt like her breath was stuck in her throat. It was extremely uncomfortable, but she couldn't let it out.

It's a pity that after Dong Nuan smiled, she looked away and didn't look further.

After the dishes were removed from the dinner table, everyone still hadn't dispersed because Old Man Dong, who usually left the table after eating, didn't leave. He seemed to have something to say, so no one dared to get up and leave first.

"Today at noon, the Liao family next door came over again and mentioned the marriage between the two families. Nuan Ya has already made an appointment with the Han family. After the other party heard about this, they came over specifically to talk about it." Old man Dong said as soon as he opened his mouth.

Go straight.

The whole village knew about the incident between Dong Nuan and Hanjiang Tower, and the Liao family must also know about it.

With Mother Liao's proud character, how could she accept Dong Nuan as her daughter-in-law?

Therefore, she came here specially at noon, either because she wanted to have a quick break or because she wanted to change someone.

Old man Dong specifically mentioned it at this time, and the whole family's thoughts turned around, thinking that they probably wanted to change people.

If we really break up, we can pretend that the previous matter did not exist, the relationship between the two families will cool down, and the matter mentioned before will be ignored.

If it is a substitution...

Everyone's thoughts moved, and the aunt had straightened her back and entered a fighting state.

She had trained Dongmiao with all her heart. She was going to marry into the city and be the grandmother of the young master in the Gaomen Courtyard. She must not fall for the poor scholar next door!

Although Dongya is young, she can't stand the Liao family's many thoughts. What if?

The second mother-in-law frowned and said teasingly: "I didn't tell the Han family to make a reservation directly. How about we see which family gives more gift money? If the family has more money, let Nuan Ya do it?"

With whom?"

Speaking of this, the second uncle sneered and looked at Dong Nuan with full malice: "I really didn't expect that our Nuan Ya is so charming. Mr. Liao likes it, and that poor boy from the Han family likes her."

I’ve been thinking about it too.”

This is an insinuation that Dongnuan doesn’t know how to behave.

Dong Nuan pretended not to understand, and replied with a smile: "Well, being charming is better than not having one at all."

One sentence made the second uncle choke again and her face turned red. She almost turned purple after holding it in for a long time.

"From the second brother's family." Seeing that the second uncle was still trying to speak dishonestly, Old Man Dong raised his hand and knocked on the dining table and spoke coldly.

The heat in Ernie's head calmed down in an instant. She glanced at Old Man Dong like a quail, then honestly retracted her head and said nothing.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Old Man Dong continued: "What the Liao family means is that they are optimistic about Xingya. You guys from the second child's family will do the math in your own room. If you think it's good, I'll ask your mother-in-law to agree later. If you think it's not good, I'll ask you."

If it's appropriate, then let your mother-in-law refuse."

As soon as she heard that the Liao family was interested in Dong Xing again, the second aunt's first reaction was to scream that she disagreed.

Then the Liao family was a pit of fire. How could she push her daughter there?

However, Old Man Dong left some room in his words and did not accept it directly, letting her think about it. This made the second uncle's anger a little less.

She wanted to refuse directly, but then her mind turned and she felt that it was not good. They still wanted to take advantage of the Liao family's benefits. If she refused, how many other families in the house would be angry with her and hate her because of this matter?

The second aunt rolled her eyes, and then she forced a smile and said: "Xingya is still a child, and she is not sensible. If she really goes to the Liao family, she won't be able to adapt. Why don't Meiya go there?"

You are steady and sensible, and your hands and feet are nimble."

This is what it means to test Old Man Dong’s attitude.

Old Man Dong didn't know what she was thinking. He looked at her with a half-smile, and then said in a deep voice: "If you feel it's inappropriate, just let your mother-in-law go back to the Liao family."

Old man Dong didn't answer, and the second wife's face turned red. She mumbled for a long time, but still didn't say anything.

Dong Nuan looked at the speechless Second Auntie on the side, and said with a deep smile: "Second Auntie, our family is going to marry a girl, and Shusheng Liao will teach our boy how to read. This is an agreement between the two families.

If I really let Sister Mei go over the matter, I'm afraid Fourth Uncle's house will suffer some losses."

Fourth Uncle Dong doesn’t have a son in his room for the time being, and he doesn’t even get welfare benefits, so why should he have a daughter?
