In Uncle Dong's family, apart from Dong Xing and Liao Mingkun, who were noisy and violent from time to time, and their life was unsatisfactory, the sons also didn't get along well with each other.
The second mother-in-law favored her younger son, which was okay for a short time, but over time, the first two sons started to have issues with her.
In addition, the relationship was not going well, and there were complaints between each other.
These complaints, when accumulated over time, become problems.
Compared with the big house, the year is good and life is relatively prosperous. There are occasional quarrels between the brothers and sisters, but life is actually pretty good. The life of the second house is just a mess, which makes people have a headache.
Old Man Dong no longer wants to take care of it. His mood has become much weaker now. He probably doesn’t understand why a good family would become like this.
On Fourth Uncle Dong's side, Fourth Aunt Dong has good times and bad, and her mind is confused. She probably won't be able to be saved in this life.
However, Fourth Uncle Dong left Dongmei in charge, and Fourth Aunt Dong could not touch anything, even if she wanted to help her parents' family, she could not.
As time went by, her parents-in-law became very dissatisfied with her and would either beat or scold her.
She was so sad that she cried to Dongmei and said she was pitiful.
In the end, she only received a cold look from Dongmei: "In the past ten years, weren't our sisters and my father pitiful?"
Fourth Aunt Dong was speechless and could only cry.
Dongmei was too lazy to pay attention to her and was communicating with the matchmaker to choose a good in-law for herself.
As for matters at home, she will definitely not leave them alone, otherwise she will just repeat the same mistakes.
She is teaching her sister to manage the family well.
Although the family does not have a few taels of silver, they still have to hold it in their own hands.
If you put it in the hands of grandma, this money will become nothing in the end.
The life of Fourth Uncle Dong’s family can be considered good or bad. In comparison, how can we say the life of Dong Lao’s fifth family?
In the past, there were old people to chew on, and he could also deceive his family to support him in his studies. There were so many good times that Dong Laowu couldn't stand the days of clearing wasteland every day, and then he became addicted to alcohol.
But I have no money, so I can only try to fool my mother-in-law and Mrs. Dong in various ways.
It's a pity that Dafang has been strictly guarding against him for a long time and didn't give him a chance at all.
Want to get money from Mrs. Dong?
That must be impossible!
Probably because he felt that there was no hope for his life, Donglaowu simply failed.
While Aunt Dong Wu was complaining, she had to make things better at home, work in the fields, and raise four children. She was under a lot of pressure.
Dong Nuan, who is far away in the capital, doesn't know much about these things.
Nowadays, she won't inquire about the Dong family's affairs, and Hanjiang Tower won't tell them either. Moreover, after he left Liangzhou, he didn't pay much attention to the Dong family's affairs.
With the clan leader suppressing the clan, the Dong family would definitely not dare to cause trouble.
If you really do it and disgrace the whole clan, you may be expelled from the clan.
After all, Dong Nuan is now the face and confidence of the entire clan!
Anyone who is not stupid knows who the clan leader and the villagers should protect.
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Dong Nuan read for a while and then took a nap.
After getting up, we started preparing for the New Year's Eve banquet.
When eating as a family, there is no need to prepare anything extravagantly.
But what should be there still needs to be there.
All kinds of stir-fries and stews must be prepared.
In the evening, everyone had a banquet.
For this meal, a large round table was prepared, with all kinds of dishes prepared. There were sixteen dishes, plus a plate of dumplings in front of each person, which can be said to be very rich.
Anyway, Dong Sanchun felt that this was probably the best meal he had in his life.
But after thinking about it, he might have better food for the rest of his life, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Dong Nuan and Han Jiang Lou were sitting next to each other. When they were eating dumplings, Dong Nuan looked at Han Jiang Lou's plate curiously and said, "Let me see if you have any copper coins there."
When Dong Nuan was talking, she deliberately leaned into Han Jianglou's ear.
The table was already steaming with steam, but as soon as Dong Nuan's words came out of his mouth, the girl's fragrant breath gently sprayed on his ears, and Hanjianglou felt that his body was getting even hotter.
When he spoke, he was startled by his own voice: "Well, take a look and I'll help you choose."
The dumplings are quite big, and you can't tell whether they are wrapped in copper or not.
But Hanjianglou was willing to take advantage of the warm winter, so he decided to press it with chopsticks to see if it felt heavy or hard to the touch.
Seeing him like this, Dong Nuan couldn't help but smile and rolled her eyes: "Don't do this, it won't work."
Dong Nuan naturally has no doubts about his ability to make money.
I asked about the copper plate just out of curiosity and to tease Hanjianglou. Who knew he was so serious.
Listening to the little girl's laughter, Hanjianglou shook his head helplessly: "It's okay, I pretended not to see it, and it worked."
Upon hearing this, Dong Nuan almost laughed out loud.
Her humanoid elixirs are really becoming more and more interesting. She used to be quiet and didn't talk much, but she does a lot of practical things.
Now my mouth is getting sweeter.
Could this be a transition from elixir to husband?
Dong Nuan didn't quite understand, but she liked Hanjiang Lou like this very much, so she gently leaned over and kissed the side of his ear.
Hanjianglou felt a rush of hot air rushing past his ears, burning most of his sanity.
If he hadn't been concerned about being in front of others, he would have actually turned his head and kissed the little girl.
He was no saint and couldn't stand being teased like this.
However, you still need to take into account that there are other people around, and there are several children at the table.
"Nuanbao, don't recruit me." Hanjianglou spoke in a hoarse voice, the tone of which was extremely sexy.
It's the kind that even the little goblin can't help but want to knock down after hearing this.
Dong Nuan couldn't control her emotions and did pounce, but she just pounced on the other person's arm and gently rubbed her hair.
The winter warmth is satisfying, but Hanjiang Tower is even more uncomfortable due to being rubbed.
But it was the New Year's Eve banquet, and he couldn't run away. In the end, he could only look at the little girl beside him helplessly and dotingly.
Others see the small interaction between two people, but they don't keep staring.
Because everyone was eating vegetables, the cooks were really good at cooking the venison. They rarely ate venison in the winter and spring, so now that they had such a delicious recipe, their mood suddenly took off.
The other dishes are also delicious, as well as the stewed soup, which is delicious to take a sip.
There are three kinds of fillings in the dumplings, and everyone is too busy eating them. How can you have time to worry about other things?
Except for Dong Nuan, it was the first time for everyone else to live in the capital, and it was in such a big mansion, so it was not exciting.
Everyone was talking about the commotion, and the fireworks outside were getting louder and louder.
Watching the hour, after midnight, it was considered the end of watching the New Year. Everyone tidied up, and then everyone went back to their houses to sleep.
Hanjianglou was not worried about his maid following him, so he personally held a lantern and walked in front to shine the light.
Just the steps are a bit wobbly, which makes Dong Nuan look quite worried.
