Across the Market

Chapter 58

In Shen Yulou's heart, he didn't want his sister to work in the Jingbin Building. Of course, he instinctively didn't want Zhu Fu to show his face outside and make money as a cook.In his heart, making money to support the family should be a man's job, and a daughter's family should stay in the boudoir, do embroidery, and raise flowers and plants.

As the saying goes, the male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside, this is the order of yin and yang.

If it is time to rely on women to earn money to support the family, wouldn't it make people ridicule that the man is useless?A younger sister should be used for pain, and should be pampered, and the pressure of worrying about livelihood should be borne by a man.

That's why, when he was studying at Jinling Academy, he didn't forget to work hard to earn money and send it home.

But now it's good, not only did the family not use his money, but instead asked his younger sister to sell tofu on the street every day, he felt distressed when he thought about it, a girl was exposed to the wind and sun, and she didn't know how much she had suffered.

Therefore, when the mother agreed with his younger sister to come to work in Jingbin Building, although he didn't say anything at the time, after thinking about it afterwards, he felt that it was still inappropriate, so he put down his books, went to the iron shop next door to Zhu's house to find Zhu Lu, and talked with Zhu Lu. Together we came to the Jingbin Tower.

Coincidentally, just after entering the gate of Jingbin Building, someone challenged the two girls' homes.

Fortunately, he and Zhu Lu went in time, what if it was a step late?Could it be that my sister and the little one are about to be bullied?He really can't imagine.

It's not because of A Dong's mother and son, but A Dong saw it, but felt a little awkward, shook his head and thanked: "No need, I know there is a place on North Street, where some beggars used to be I lived there. There was some straw in the corner, and my mother and I rested in the corner for one night, so we couldn’t get cold.”

Shen Yuzhu said: "Adong, you are young, so your body can bear it, but what about your mother? Your mother is so old, do you have the heart to let her suffer from the cold with you?" He patted his head, raised his chin and said, "Adong, you are very loyal, just because you were able to stand in front of little Afu at that time, I think you are a good guy." Seeing Adong opened his mouth, he looked eager She kept talking, "Don't worry, I won't disturb my family. My mother is a warm-hearted person. It's boring to be alone at home on weekdays. It just so happened that my aunt went, and my mother As a companion. Your mother can sleep with my mother, and you can squeeze in with my brother for one night. It’s better than being cold, right? That’s the deal.”

Zhu Fu was also grateful to Adong for being able to rush ahead of him at that time, and nodded in agreement: "Since Big Brother Shen and Yuzhu have both spoken, you can go to Aunt Shen's house to stay for one night, and I will accompany you to ask for money tomorrow. Living outside the city? What kind of house is it? It’s so cold today, how can you live outside the city? If you get money, you should invite a better doctor to see you.”

When A Dongniang heard that she would spend money to see a doctor, she quickly shook her head and said, "No need to ask for a doctor! No need to ask for a doctor! I am getting old, no matter how much I take medicine, my health will not be much better. However, this little girl That's right, A Dong will definitely not be able to live outside the city anymore, he should be thinking about finding a house in the county town."

"Let's talk about this matter later, it's so cold on the street, let's go home and rest soon." Shen Yuzhu said while helping A Dongniang herself, and they went home together.

It was completely dark outside, and there were only three or two sparse pedestrians left on the street. When they reached the door of their house, snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky.After saying goodbye to Shen Yuzhu and the others, Zhu Fu rubbed his hands and went into his blacksmith shop.

The stove in the shop was still burning red, and it was very warm. While stretching his limbs, Zhu Fu touched the darkness and looked at Zhu Lu who was closing the door: "Brother, have you finished the animal trap for me?"

After Zhu Lu closed the door tightly, he turned around and lit a kerosene lamp. He looked at his second sister by the dim light and said, "At that time, Yulou came to look for me, so I followed him to Jingbinlou, so the The previous work was left behind. However, it was only a little bit short. Second sister, you have been frightened today, go back to the back room and rest, brother knocks and quenches the fire and it’s almost the same.”

The light in the shop was very dim, and Zhu Lu's black and handsome face became more and more defined under the warm yellow light.He is tall and tall, and because of working all year round, he has maintained his figure very well. Although he is wearing coarse clothes and has a simple and honest youthful demeanor, it is still hard to hide his heroic appearance.

Zhu Fu felt very happy to have such a good brother, but the only bad thing about his brother was that he was too honest.

Be honest in front of your relatives, who know how to love him, but be honest in front of those vampires, they will only treat you as a fool, bully you in front of you and order you to do this or that, and will definitely laugh at you behind your back as a poor and unambitious person.

Just like their great uncle Zhang Facai, who has a lot of money, and doesn't treat his father and brother as human beings.

She still remembered that when she went to Zhang Facai to ask for money that day, those people looked like animals.

Thinking of this, Zhu Fu also felt sorry for her brother, and said: "Brother, let's not work so hard in the future, daddy is already in a broken body, you are the pillar of our family, don't be like daddy. We still have some money at home now Let's hire a carriage to pick up grandma in Xinghua Village tomorrow, the carriage runs fast, we can go later. Let's do the rest of the work tomorrow morning."

Zhu Lu has a dull temper and doesn't talk much, and he doesn't talk to his family often on weekdays. He knew to work behind his father since he was a child.Seeing the second sister caring about him so much now, the dignified man was a little at a loss. He put his hands in front of his body for a while, and put his hands behind his back for a while, looking at Zhu Fu with raised eyebrows.

"Brother, let's go." Seeing that the cheap man was shy again, Zhu Fu took a step forward, took his brother's strong arm, and dragged him to the back room.

Wei Sanniang had already arranged the food, and she kept looking forward, seeing her son and daughter coming home, she greeted her with a smile, "Are you exhausted? Quick, go and wash your hands, let's Have a meal."
