The second aunt didn't really believe Dong Nuan's words at first, but she kept an eye on it and decided to observe it secretly.
The second and fifth rooms were originally separated by a wall, so she heard any movement next door immediately, pushed the man awake, and followed him quietly.
As soon as the two people pricked up their ears to eavesdrop, they heard Mrs. Dong's words, and then Mr. Dong couldn't help it anymore.
Uncle Dong, who pretended to go to the latrine in the middle of the night, happened to push the door out of the east room and ran into this scene.
Then, the scene where Mrs. Dong secretly supplemented Dong Laowu was blocked!
Dong Lao Er roared out regardless, waking up the whole family. Mrs. Dong couldn't stop her even if she wanted to, and Dong Lao Wu's face was ashen, and he collapsed on the ground in fear.
Old Man Dong may know about this matter, but because the amount is not too big and he is a scholar in the family, he turns a blind eye.
But, once this matter breaks out and makes the other brothers dissatisfied, it will obviously be impossible for Mr. Dong to pretend that he doesn't know about it.
When Old Man Dong got up and came to the main room, he saw that the faces of his sons were not very good-looking. Old Mrs. Dong lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at everyone, and Old Dong Wu sat there paralyzed and did not move for a long time.
one time.
Seeing this, Old Man Dong sighed slightly, feeling even more disappointed with his younger son.
Originally, he thought that if he made money, he would send his grandchildren to Liao Xiucai to study first. As for Dong Lao Wu?
Give me another chance.
If Baiyu Gao really made money, it wouldn't be short of his study money.
It's a pity that Donglaowu didn't leave himself a way to survive.
And Old Man Dong also completely gave up on this smart-looking young son.
"Dad, we have seen it with our own eyes that grandma secretly supplemented Lao Wu. Not only did I see it, but my eldest brother also saw it. And judging from the skillful postures of the two of them, this must have been done to them more than once, right?
Dad can't just ignore it!" Dong Laoer usually doesn't talk much, like a saw-mouthed gourd.
However, that was not the time when self-interest was involved.
Once it comes to this, even the stupid Dong Lao Er can lay out things in a clear and logical manner.
At this time, he was holding his neck and looking unconvinced. Old Man Dong felt a headache from seeing him.
If this were normal, Mrs. Dong would have pinched her waist and cursed people.
However, now she felt guilty and short of breath. Although she was annoyed with Lao Er, she just raised her head and glared at him without saying anything.
When the second uncle saw the old lady glaring at her man, she wanted to pinch her waist and curse, but after thinking about the situation of the fourth elder's family, she shrank back.
Seeing the second aunt like this, the eldest aunt sneered in her heart: coward.
There was a bit of sadness on his face, and his tone was gentle but implicitly accusatory: "I think Aniang may have been bewitched by Lao Wu."
Although saying this will make the fifth family hate each other, it can bring out Mrs. Dong. For this reason, Mrs. Dong will not have to look down upon herself in the future.
Dong Nuan leaned against the doorframe of the west door and sighed again: There are no melon seeds.
The reason why Dong Nuan guessed that Dong Laowu would probably ask Mrs. Dong for money tonight was because in the book, after the original owner married Liao Mingkun, Liao Mingkun inadvertently mentioned a few words.
It is said that Dong Laowu was living a very comfortable life in the town, calling friends, and he didn't have a few taels of silver every month, so I'm afraid he couldn't do this.
At that time, Liao Mingkun just sighed to Liao's mother, saying that he really envied Dong Laowu for having such a brother, and he foolishly supported Donglaowu without explaining why.
The original owner didn't take this seriously, but Dong Nuan remembered it.
Because in the memory of the original owner, not long after his marriage to the Liao family was settled, Dong Laowu did ask for ten taels of silver from Old Man Dong in the name of buying a book.
Because of this incident, the sisters-in-law were fighting each other for several days at home.
Now that the Dong Lao Wu Cao Bao incident has been exposed, whether this book can be read is still a question.
Therefore, it is obviously impossible to have money to buy books.
But what should I do if I don’t need money?
How to maintain his chic life in the town?
You can only ask Mrs. Dong for it privately.
Anyway, Mrs. Dong feels sorry for her younger son and is partial to him. Isn't it normal to give him some private housing allowance?
And it’s impossible for Old Man Dong not to know about this, but he didn’t expose it, which means he acquiesced.
If this is the private property of Old Man Dong and others, then even if the other families are dissatisfied, they can only curse a few words.
But this is public money.
It's the hard-earned money of the brothers all year round. How could they have no objections?
Dong Nuan stood outside the crowd and watched casually as the aunt pretended to be a good person and took Mrs. Dong out.
Mrs. Dong wanted to keep her status and dignity in this family, so she could only accept her aunt's words and accept her love.
Sure enough, after the uncle's words fell, Mrs. Dong said with a bit of confusion: "This, this, this, Lao Wu said that he wanted to buy books and needed some money, and he was afraid that you would tell him, so he came to me, and I also
no way."
When Mrs. Dong is not fierce, she looks pitiful and innocent.
Dong Laowu panicked when he saw that he had been abandoned by his own mother.
He reacted suddenly, knelt down in front of Mrs. Dong, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Auntie, you can't just ignore me. You're not usually like this. You..."
"Okay, Fifth Brother, don't make trouble for me. I've been working hard in the fields these days. If I can't sleep well, what should I do if I'm tired and sick?" Uncle Dong finally stood up after watching for a long time.
He couldn't let Mrs. Dong, who had finally taken it out, be dragged into the water by Dong Laowu again, so he took the initiative to speak out and stopped Donglaowu's words.
Uncle Dong usually looks like a clay figure with a smile on his face, like a Bodhisattva.
But when he really keeps a straight face, he still has the dignity of an eldest brother.
As soon as his face turned cold, Dong Laowu was already feeling guilty, but now he muttered and did not dare to speak out.
Aunt Dong Wu was currently hiding outside the crowd, not daring to say a word, for fear of getting herself involved.
Old Man Dong felt annoyed and tired when he saw that the whole family had their own little thoughts, but in the end he had to work up his energy to solve this matter.
If this matter is not handled well, it will be easy for several sons to distance themselves from themselves.
It is not appropriate to do this for Donglaowu, who is about to become an abandoned son.
Old man Dong quickly thought about his interests in his mind. After thinking about it, he said with a cold face: "Okay, everyone will have a rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, the boss will follow me to the private school in the town. How is Lao Wu's study?
Let’s find out what books we want to buy recently.”
Upon hearing this, Dong Laowu's already anxious heart almost stopped, and his expression became frightened and uneasy.
He raised his head and wanted to beg Old Man Dong again.
Unfortunately, Old Man Dong had already closed his eyes a little tiredly and didn't want to look at him any more.
