Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 117 The Truth
Du Wenyuan was changing clothes in the room, while she lingered outside the door.

I was blown by the wind just now, and my emotions have gradually calmed down. Now I am thinking, if I entered the house, which method should I use to ask questions?

While hesitating, the door opened.

"But you have something to ask me?" He changed into a dark blue homely cotton robe, which made his face extraordinarily serene.

Du Xiaoyu nodded hurriedly, "Yes."

After letting her in, Du Wenyuan closed the door again.

"Come on, it's cold down there." He got on the kang first by himself.

Du Xiaoyu also took off her shoes and wrapped her body tightly with a big quilt. She also stood outside for a while just now, her face was blue from the cold.

"Why didn't you knock on the door?" Du Wenyuan looked at her, "What are you thinking about for so long?"

Du Xiaoyu cut to the chase, "What did you tell Uncle Lin that he would actually give you the jade pendant? And mother..." But as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt that it was not direct enough, so she stopped and changed her words, "Do you know about the relationship between Mother and Uncle Lin? Mother also has a jade pendant!"

"Oh? Mother never took it out, how do you know?"

"I saw it secretly." Du Xiaoyu said, "It's very similar to Uncle Lin's, it should be a pair."

It turned out that this was the case, no wonder she looked at Yupei strangely, and Du Wenyuan was hesitating for a moment whether to tell her the whole story.

Seeing that he didn't speak suddenly, Du Xiaoyu was a little impatient, leaned forward, and whispered, "Second brother, mother knows the whereabouts of Uncle Lin's nephew? Otherwise, why would she have that jade pendant? Uncle Lin deliberately put it away today. Yupei showed that he wanted his mother to see it, right? But, why didn't he just say it..."

"Little fish." Du Wenyuan interrupted her.

The sound was soft and soft, but it filled the whole room, and there was silence in an instant, only the sound of the rain was heard non-stop, like an unstoppable river falling from the sky.

Du Xiaoyu looked at Du Wenyuan in a daze, and said after a while, "Second Brother?"

"Xiaoyu, I'm not your second brother." He said softly.

She thought she heard it wrong, she shook her head, he was clearly in front of her eyes, how could she not be the second elder brother?This annoying rain even made people have hearing problems.

Du Wenyuan sighed softly, "I am the nephew that Master has been looking for."

"What, what?" Now she heard clearly, but she was even more confused. How could Du Wenyuan be Lin Song's nephew?So where did her second brother go?Could it be that the second brother and Lin Song's nephew are the same person?No, it's impossible for Mrs. Zhao to do such a thing!So, is it still an option?
Second brother?Lin Song's nephew?

She stared at Du Wenyuan in surprise, "What's going on? Second brother, tell me quickly!"

Du Wenyuan explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail.

It turned out that when Mrs. Zhao gave birth to a stillborn baby, it was her grandmother who brought Du Wenyuan back to her to raise. Later, after learning about his life experience, she felt guilty all the time. Before she died, she told the truth and told Du Wenyuan not to hate Mrs. Zhao.

"At that moment you knew that you were Uncle Lin's nephew?" After hearing this, Du Xiaoyu secretly sighed. It turned out to be like this, but she didn't expect it. It's no wonder that Zhao's emotions fluctuated. To lose a son!Perhaps it is not as painful as the loss of a child back then, but after more than ten years of parenting, the painstaking efforts put in cannot be measured by anything.

"I don't know. My grandmother didn't tell me the details. She only said that I was originally born in a wealthy family. Even if I met Master, I didn't know that he was my uncle at first, or I gradually found out later."

"Then Uncle Lin knew you were his nephew from the very beginning, and that's why you came to our house?"

"Well, but I'm not sure, just say that I and..." He paused, his voice slightly jerky, "It's a bit like my father, and he was able to find this place because of a word from a certain pawnshop shopkeeper, Mother may have wanted to pawn the jade pendant."

Their family has been impoverished all these years, and they almost couldn’t eat for a while. If this jade pendant was taken out, it would solve many problems, but Zhao still didn’t do it later. I have long thought of letting you recognize your ancestors, but, after all, you are reluctant."

Du Wenyuan was silent.

Du Xiaoyu said again, "Then you, when will you... go back?" When he said the last word, his nose was already sore, so he quickly lowered his head and pressed it with his hands.

Seeing her like this, Du Wenyuan said softly, "But you can't bear to part with me?"

In fact, whether there is a blood relationship is not important to her. After all, she is not the real Du Xiaoyu, so it doesn't matter whether Du Wenyuan is his brother or not. It will not hurt her, but what she has to face now is his departure.

Over the past two years, whether it is long or short, they have experienced hardships together and worked together to make the family get better gradually. Now that they finally got out of the predicament, are they going to lose him as a relative?
In this family, he has the most common language with her, and is also the person she trusts and relies on. Du Xiaoyu couldn't control her red eyes, and said in a low voice, "Well, I don't want you to leave."

Du Wenyuan's heart was also sore, but warm, he reached out and hugged her into his arms, patted her twice and said, "It's not like I'm leaving soon."
His arms were wide, and he seemed to have grown taller again. Du Xiaoyu stayed close to him for a while before raising his head and saying, "Then what, when are you leaving?"

His eyes blinked slightly, "I said it in the kitchen just now, but you didn't pay attention to it. Master said that I will leave the village after I pass the exam. I will follow when the time comes."

It turned out that my mother understood at that time, and Du Xiaoyu felt relieved, there is still more than a year left.

"Did you intercede with Uncle Lin? He must be in a hurry to take you back, right?" Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out all the jade pendants. This move was clearly intended to warn Mrs. Zhao, but he didn't know Du Wenyuan at the time. He already knew the truth.

What Lin Song did from the beginning to the end was to let Mrs. Zhao tell the story herself, because only her is the most convincing.

"Well, but he is also hiding it from there, so it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."

Du Wenyuan showed a little sadness. His biological mother is no longer alive, and he will not be able to see each other in this life. This is his greatest regret.As for his father, it is said that he has been yearning for him day and night, and he has not given up looking for him for more than ten years, but he is just a bastard, if he enters that family without any fame, he does not know how many eyes and doubts he will receive from others, this is him. Reasons to convince Lin Song.

Du Xiaoyu's depression has passed, and now he asked curiously, "Second Brother, is your father a high official? Is Uncle Lin too?"

He chuckled, "What do you think?"

"How do I know, but Uncle Lin is so majestic, the county magistrate is afraid of him, it's not a big official's fault."

"Master got the clue of the jade pendant back then, so he resigned from the official position and came to look for me in person. Now he is just a commoner, but it is my father, who was Minister of the Ministry of War at the time, and a second-rank official worshiper." There is also admiration in the tone.

Second Grade Officer!
It was bigger than she imagined, and Du Xiaoyu couldn't help but be speechless. Although this Lin Song is a commoner now, he is a relative of the Minister of the Ministry of War. Can the county lord not be afraid?No wonder!
The two talked straight for a while, usually she asked the question, Du Wenyuan answered, sometimes he couldn't answer, after all, he didn't know much about the situation there, and later they talked about going to the county to sell rabbit skins, unconsciously It was late at night.

Du Xiaoyu yawned when she got up in the morning, and seeing that Du Wenyuan's face was also tired, it could be seen that he hadn't had a good rest.

The two sat down to have breakfast, Mrs. Zhao looked as usual, and seemed to have accepted the reality.

Du Xian didn't have any special reaction either, so it can be seen that Mrs. Zhao didn't tell him about this matter, so that's fine, why not talk about it when we leave, why bother to be so sad during these times?
Du Xiaoyu sighed secretly, unlike her, she was reborn halfway through. Even if Du Wenyuan will leave in the future, for other family members, she may be the most relaxed one, right?

But even though he thought so, his heart was still slightly swollen, and he lowered his head with his chopsticks in his mouth and was lost in thought.

"Hurry up and eat, it's getting cold." Du Xian whispered in his ear, "This kid is so crazy early in the morning."

She hurriedly picked up the steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth.

At the end of autumn, the rabbits mate once, and now they have baby rabbits. The most important thing in this season is to keep warm. Fortunately, cotton is planted at home. She made some cotton mats by hand and put them in the baby rabbit cages. Thick quilt, so that it can completely resist the invasion of cold.

At this time Li Jin came and saw Du Xiaoyu was there, so he said hello, and then went to feed the rabbit, which is also warm water in this weather.

Du Wenyuan also came over to take a look, and said with a smile, "Your scale is getting bigger and bigger."

"Didn't you always tell me to raise some livestock?" Du Xiaoyu squinted at him, "By the way, do you remember the prescription you gave the peddler last time to cure the stomach? It's best to make it into a pill for me."

"Okay, I'll go back to the county to go to the pharmacy tomorrow, that's it?"

She wanted to do a lot of different things, such as coccidiosis prevention, eye drops, and various skin diseases, but Du Wenyuan didn't know it, and he didn't have sick rabbits for experiments.

But I don’t know about it in the future. The more rabbits there are, the more likely it is to get sick. The veterinarian in this village doesn’t know if they can be trusted. It’s easy to treat cattle and sheep, but I haven’t heard of treating rabbits. This is really a comparison. Serious hidden danger.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was thinking, Du Wenyuan asked with concern.

"I'm afraid no one will treat rabbits in the future."

"Isn't there still me?"

"You?" Du Xiaoyu looked at him, with a gloomy look in his eyes, yes, she used to expect him to help her in this area, but it's different now, he will leave sooner or later, how can he rely on him?She clenched her fist and made up her mind, "I still have to learn how to see a doctor by myself, second brother, lend me your medical books next time, and it's best to borrow some books on veterinary medicine."

Du Wenyuan pursed his lips, she was really free and easy, she only knew her life experience, and now she completely put him aside, thinking about it, she felt a little uncomfortable.

But he still responded, turned around and left.
