Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 131 Dark Thorn ([-])

Although she frightened the peddler out of her breath, she was really uncomfortable in her heart.

Without the help of others to take care of the rabbits, she would have no source of breeding rabbits. It is almost impossible to expand the scale and cultivate good rabbit breeds.

"Xiao Jin, what do you think I should do?" Although she was asking, she seemed to be talking to herself.

Li Jin thought to himself, you can do it yourself.

In the past few months, he has seen nothing that can trouble his small employer. No matter what happens at home, nothing that needs to be taken care of has not been left behind.

"Let's go, let's go to Wanjia." Soon, Du Xiaoyu made a decision.

Before I went, I picked some fresh fruits, and bought two packs of pastries at the pastry shop, so that I would not be empty-handed.

But it's too early, Mr. Wan has not come back from his inspection of his pharmacy, Mrs. Wan is invited to watch a play by another family, and Du Xiaoyu is waiting in the main room. She doesn't really want to see Wan Fanglin.After begging not to kill the rabbit that time, she never sent the little rabbit again, for fear of causing Wan Fanglin to cry again.

A few pots of orchids stood tall and graceful by the window, and the scent of fragrance drifted into the room with the wind. She couldn't help but think of Mrs. Wan's test of Du Huanghua, who embroidered orchids. Her sister is definitely talented in this area.

Then two people walked in from the door.

"I heard from the maid that you are here, but I would like to ask you to bring something to my junior sister." It was Du Huanghua's second senior sister, Liu Hong, and the other was Sister Rong, squinting at Du Xiaoyu, full of hatred .

Du Xiaoyu knew that the second senior sister had a good relationship with Du Huanghua, so she stood up and saluted.

"I never thought that your family would settle the date so soon. When my junior sister got married, I didn't have any embroidery pictures. I just finished it a few days ago. I was thinking about how to send it to your sister." Liu Hong handed over a red silk Bao, "It's not as good as my junior sister, so don't let her laugh at me when the time comes."

"Sister, I'm afraid I'll be moved to tears. There is such a good senior sister." Du Xiaoyu took it with both hands, "Thank you, sister."

Sister Rong sneered, gloating, "What is there to congratulate? I said don't give away the embroidered picture, and it will be more or less a piece of white cloth when the time comes. With your sister's poor life, wait to be a widow!"

Liu Hong was upset when she heard what she said, and shouted, "She is our little junior sister, how can you talk like this? I want to tell Master to listen!"

Sister Rong curled her lips, "You will press me with this sentence, but I'm not wrong, if you don't believe me, you ask..." Just as she was about to point at Du Xiaoyu, she saw her eyes shoot over like a sharp sword.

"How do you know the situation of the Bai family?"

Sister Rong was slightly stunned, and then said, "Who doesn't know, the eldest son of the Bai family is sick..."

Before she finished speaking, Du Xiaoyu interrupted her and looked at Liu Hong, "Sister, do you know about this? Is there anything about my brother-in-law's family?"

Liu Hong shook her head, "It's strange because I don't know. I asked Master once, but Master just sighed and didn't speak. Ask other people, but he doesn't know anything." She paused and said with concern, "Your brother-in-law Are you really unwell?"

A person like Mrs. Wan would not allow her servants to gossip, and the Bai family is just a farm family in the village. How could anyone in the county know about the family's situation?But, how did Miss Rong know?
Unless she deliberately asks...

Faced with the questioning gazes of the two, Sister Rong coughed, "What kind of good family can someone like your sister marry? Either sick or ugly, what's so strange? But since you are married, then be a good wife. What kind of embroidery does she learn as a peasant woman? You go back and tell her, don't come to our house again to embarrass her."

"I can't agree to that." Du Xiaoyu sneered, "My sister will definitely return to Wanfu next year. Sister Rong, you have to practice hard in this year. In front of my sister, you are not worthy of being a striker now. !"

Sister Rong blushed and jumped up to hit Du Xiaoyu.

Liu Hong stepped forward, "She's just a little girl, why should you be angry? It's hard to say in front of Master, last time I mentioned the batch of Qingfang in Hongxiufang..."

Sister Rong's expression changed when she heard the words, she flicked her sleeves and said, "You're right, she's just a country girl, what can I do with her knowledge!" After speaking, she turned around and went out.

"Little fish, sit down."

Du Xiaoyu was about to beat up Sister Rong, but now she relaxed and sat down.

Liu Hong looked at her, thinking that the temperaments of the two sisters are really different, and worried about Du Huanghua, she asked, "Is what Elder Sister said just now true?"

"Well, my brother-in-law is indeed in poor health."

Liu Hong couldn't help sighing, the family obviously loves this daughter very much, how could they marry her to a sick man?And it sounds like it's still serious, thinking about frowning, the eldest son of the Bai family, the Bai family?Why does it sound familiar?She hesitated, "Does the Bai family have a person named Bai Lianhua?"

Hearing these three words, Du Xiaoyu's face immediately sank, "Yes."

Liu Hong's brows tightened even more.

"How did my sister know the white lotus?" Du Xiaoyu was surprised at this moment.

"I heard this name years ago..." She didn't know what to say for a while, and then she slowly said after recalling, "I was in the room of my junior sister that day, and I heard from the maid that there was a girl named Bailianhua. I want to see Junior Martial Sister, but Junior Martial Sister," she paused, becoming more confused, "Junior Junior Sister didn't see her, so she asked maid to let her go."

It seems that the two sisters don't like people from the Bai family, but why did the junior sister marry into the Bai family in the end?
"What?" Du Xiaoyu stood up abruptly, "Sister, what day did this happen?"

She was so excited, this matter might have a lot to do with it, Liu Hong thought about it carefully, "That day was the day after the Kitchen God sacrifice, December 24th."

Isn't this the day when Bai Lianhua set a trap?Du Xiaoyu was extremely puzzled, since the elder sister didn't go to see her, how did Bai Lianhua trick her later?

Du Huanghua didn't mention a single word!They only thought that the white lotus came to look for her, so she went to see her, but it turned out that was not the case!

"Since my eldest sister didn't go to see her, what happened afterwards? Did my elder sister go to Hongxiufang with her?" I remember Du Wenyuan mentioned that my eldest sister was going to Hongxiufang when she came to Japan.

Liu Hong shook her head, "Master didn't let me go, so I left later." She looked at Du Xiaoyu, "What happened to your family that day? Master later said that Junior Sister was in a hurry to go back, and it was too late to say goodbye." just go."

After a few days, she heard that she had settled down with someone, and she would get married after a year. She always felt puzzled, so she asked the master, but unfortunately, she didn't find the answer.

It seems that Mrs. Wan has also made a remedy, so that no one in the Wan Mansion would suspect, but she couldn't answer this question, she hesitated to deal with it, "Well, there is something wrong."

There might be some difficulties in their family, Liu Hong almost understood at this moment.

When Wan Bingguang came back later, Du Xiaoyu went to see him.

She didn't want him to be of much help, but she just asked about the caravan going to and from Qidong County. Since the peddler refused to bring it, she had to go by herself, but caravans don't happen every day.

And Wan Bingguang has a big medicine shop in Qidong County, so he is very familiar with it. Hearing Du Xiaoyu's question, he said with a smile, "Every caravan sells different things. Some are medicinal materials, and some are from other countries. There are small gadgets like glazed balls, dolls, and some that sell spices, and they come at different times, at the beginning of the month and at the end of the month.”

Du Xiaoyu bowed his head and saluted him, "Then please ask Master Wan to help me find out the itinerary of the caravan selling rabbits."

Wan Bingguang smiled and nodded, "I'll let the guy over there pay attention," he asked again, "Has the honeysuckle been planted yet?"

"It's planted, but the buds haven't come out yet."

Wan Bingguang asked her to plant it well.

Du Xiaoyu left without saying a few words. She still had self-knowledge. She couldn't talk about poetry and painting with Master Wan based on her talents, and she didn't have much experience in business, so she didn't want to waste other people's time.

The first thing she did after returning home was to fight with Du Xian and his wife to go to Qidong County.

Of course, the peddler said a lot of bad things, saying that he was greedy for profit and did not bring rabbits, that he laughed at all kinds of sarcasm, and that he was ungrateful. Of course, the main purpose was to make them share the same hatred.

Du Xian immediately said, "Father will accompany you, that peddler is too shameless! Do you think he can go to Qidong County alone? Hmph, let's buy more rabbits and come back and see what he can be proud of!"

Mrs. Zhao didn't know about her daughter's ghost spirit. She knew that she only wanted to raise the rabbit well, and she saw all the sacrifices these days, so she didn't object.

This matter was resolved smoothly, Du Xiaoyu was very happy, but there was still one thing to be clarified, so she went to Bai's house the next day.

Du Huanghua was washing clothes in the yard.

Mrs. Cui was feeding the chickens. They used to have quite a lot of chickens. There were forty or fifty chickens in the front yard, but now there are only about twenty left.

"Sister, put the clothes away, I have something to tell you." Du Xiaoyu was a little annoyed when she saw it. Didn't Bai Lianhua say that she didn't need her to do housework? Doesn't this count as washing clothes?

Du Huanghua smiled, "Just one, wait a minute."

"What are you waiting for? You didn't come here to do these things!" Du Xiaoyu glanced at the clothes in her hand, "Is this your father-in-law's? Do you need to wash it? Go home when you have nothing to do. It's very busy."

Cui came over hurriedly when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "Yes, Huang Hua, I told you that you are not allowed to wash it, but you have to do it. Go, go, you two sisters, go talk, and I will do it in a while." .”

Du Huanghua had no choice but to stand up.

The two of them didn't go to the bedroom either. Du Xiaoyu dragged her to an open space on the right, where the sun was shining and no one disturbed her, so she just asked for clarification.

"Xiaoyu, don't do this next time. It's my mother-in-law anyway. I have to wash the clothes myself." Du Huanghua whispered, not letting her touch the housework. People, if you still think about the past, how can you live with peace of mind?
It's such a hard job, Du Xiaoyu hates iron and steel, "I don't care about these, I just ask you one thing, you have to answer me honestly!"
