The second mother-in-law was so angry that she finally burst into tears. While wiping her tears, she pretended to sweep the yard and listened quietly to what was going on in the room with her ears straightened up.
After Mrs. Dong was initially surprised, she reacted belatedly and said in a longer tone: "The boy from the Han family is really good."
In the past, the village thought that this boy was helpless and not a good match. Who would have thought that he would be so kind to his unmarried daughter-in-law?
Mrs. Dong is in a complicated mood at the moment. She doesn’t know whether she should say that Dong Nuan is lucky, or that she is unable to stop the blessing when it comes.
"It's not bad. I have good character and can study well. I'm taking the exam in the county now. If I pass, I will be classmates with Brother Xu and Shusheng Liao in the future." Dong Wu found an opportunity and started to show off.
.
How could she miss something like this that would make her look good?
Mrs. Dong felt a little complicated after hearing this.
Although he is said to be his future grandson-in-law, he is not his biological grandson after all. Knowing his future potential, it will not be his family who will subsidize him in the future. Mrs. Dong said she was happy, but not entirely happy.
Call it unhappy, the corner of his lips couldn't help but curl up into a smile.
Mrs. Dong didn't want to ask too many questions about Hanjianglou. She thought about it and asked tentatively: "How is the business in the shop now? Is there a shortage of manpower?"
"It's still like that, good or bad, barely enough to eat. Those things are not for daily consumption. I have to buy them every day. I have thought about it. I will wait and see if there is any suitable job for me in the town.
If I go to work as a helper, I might be able to earn ten or eight cents a day, and my family's life will be better. Then the Hanjiang family hasn't become my son-in-law yet, so I don't count on him. Dong Yao is still young and has strong wrists.
It’s not enough. What if I copy so many books and my hands get damaged? As a mother, I have to work harder.” Because of Dong Nuan’s words, now she has to deal with Mrs. Dong, and Dong Wu feels that she
Not even a little bit of pressure.
When Mrs. Dong heard this, all the temptations she prepared later were useless.
In the end, I could only pull my bark face and ask: "Why don't you see Nuan Ya coming?"
"They said they were going to see the patriarch, uncle. I didn't ask him what he meant specifically, and Nuan Ya didn't like telling me this either." Upon hearing this, the Dong Wu family started to inquire about Dong Nuan's whereabouts, but she couldn't
Tell it all.
When it came to the clan leader, Mrs. Dong couldn't ask any more questions.
The whole family listened to Dong Wu's unabashed show off with mixed emotions.
On the other side, Dong Nuan, under the leadership of the clan leader, had already agreed with Li Zheng to cut down some bamboos and go back.
Because not much was cut, and Dong Nuan donated money to his clan, Li Zheng just turned a blind eye and approved it.
Dong Nuan picked five bamboos and cut them down, and saw a lot of spring bamboo shoots emerging. The clan leader gave a signal and asked Dong Nuan to dig some and eat them first.
"After two days, when they see the bamboo shoots sprouting, they will come over with a basket. You can pick them now and eat them until they are tender." The clan leader has said this. You must dig some for winter warmth.
The spring bamboo shoots were fresh and tender, cooked well, and tasted good. Dong Nuan was able to dig a lot with his flexible hands and feet, and Dianthus was by his side to help.
Dong Nuan did not tell the truth about Shi Zhu's identity, only that he was a hired help.
The clan leader was too smart to ask more about what exactly he was helping, and Li Zheng was even less likely to ask.
He also looked at the clan leader's face, so he was so polite to this little girl.
The winter warmed up quickly, and a few bamboos and a basket of bamboo shoots were quickly prepared. After loading them on the donkey cart, I went back to the old house to take a look.
As a junior, it would be a bad idea to come back without showing up.
When Dong Nuan came back, Mrs. Dong Wu was smiling and talking to Mrs. Dong.
It's just that Mrs. Dong's expression was not very good-looking. She glanced at the second aunt in the yard, and her face pulled. The eldest aunt was nowhere to be seen. The fourth aunt and the fifth aunt probably went to the mountains to open up wasteland and were not at home now.
It wasn't warm enough today, so the windows in the house were closed. Except for Old Man Dong who was sitting under the eaves, Dong Nuan didn't see anyone else in the house.
She didn't ask any questions, just greeted Old Man and Mrs. Dong with a smile, and then signaled that they were going back.
Although the village is not far from the town, Dong Nuan still has a shop there to be busy with, so Old Man Dong can't stop him much.
But before leaving, Old Man Dong didn't give up. After thinking about it, he followed Dong Nuan and said in a deep voice: "Nuan Ya, we are all brothers and sisters in the same family. We have to help each other in the future. What about the Han family?"
If the boy is admitted to the county school, remember to ask him to help Brother Xu more. If Brother Xu becomes successful, your sister will naturally benefit from it too."
"Yes, I know Grandpa." Dong Nuan smiled obediently, which made Old Man Dong feel at ease.
Mrs. Dong Wu raised her eyebrows on the side, probably because after the separation of the family, she became the head of her own family, and Dong Nuan and Dong Yao gave her a lot of confidence. Now she is not so afraid of Mrs. Dong and the others.
She raised her eyebrows to express her dissatisfaction, but she also took care of her face and didn't say anything.
Mrs. Dong was watching this scene from the side, pulling the old bark-face away. She wanted to take action, but if she took action at this time, it would only push the third room further and further away.
Old Man Dong had already taught her this during the Chinese New Year.
Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied you are at this time, you cannot take action. The most you can do is put on a bad face and express your displeasure.
Unfortunately, neither Dong Wu nor Dong Nuan paid any attention to it.
As for dianthus?
I only care about our girl and my wife, who else?
The girl came over early in the morning and said that her family's relationship was average, and Shi Zhu was not stupid, so she naturally understood the meaning.
So, just being polite on the surface, what else?
Can't see, can't hear.
The three people grabbed the bamboo and spring bamboo shoots and quickly left the village.
Old Man Dong looked behind him for a long time. When the person disappeared at the end of the village, Old Mrs. Dong could not help but mutter: "The third family and Nuan Ya are becoming more and more undisciplined. That basket of bamboo shoots, how many bamboo shoots in their family?"
How can I finish my meal? I don’t know how to show respect to my grandpa and grandma."
At this moment, Old Man Dong is still thinking about how to bind the third bedroom and the first bedroom together. It is best to bind them tightly together.
According to Old Man Dong's current thoughts and opinions, the most he can think of is to have children and in-laws.
Dong Nuan has already been engaged, and Hanjiang Tower seems to be very promising now. Such a man cannot be left alone.
Therefore, if it is not possible to marry Dong Nuan, the only choice is Dong Tao.
That little girl is also twelve years old, so she is a bit younger, but it is just an engagement, not getting married now, so we can still talk about it.
Thinking of this, Old Man Dong dealt with it perfunctorily a few times, and then went to the backyard to find Uncle Dong.
The two of them need to discuss this matter carefully.
