Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 231 Verification
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Zhao said slowly, "You have to think clearly. I know you have a lot of ideas, but this time is different from other things. If you don't handle it well, he and our family..."

Du Xiaoyu understood the meaning and nodded, "I know, mother."

Mrs. Zhao looked at her a few times, feeling a little emotional in her heart.

Previously, she had put so much thought into her life-long event, that she might not find someone who could close her eyes, but who would have expected such a thing to happen, it really is that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and everything is unexpected.

In her heart, she was afraid that Du Xiaoyu would agree, and that she would face embarrassment from the Li family and the Lin family in the future. She was afraid that she would suffer a lot of grievances along the way. The son-in-law, that is the real family, and it is a way to get the best of both worlds.

Thinking about it this way, he was even more troubled than Du Xiaoyu.

Under Wang Minghua's treatment, the second son of the Wang family miraculously recovered from his injuries, his mind was clear, and he no longer had the unrecognizable situation as before.The Wang family was very happy, so they no longer pursued Huang Lishu's fault, and the matter was over.

Dong was so angry that her teeth were itching. If Huang Lishu hadn't beaten someone, her daughter had already married to the Wang family as a daughter-in-law. How could she still be pointed at by others in the village?If you say something about retiring from the marriage, then the young master of the Wang family will be fine, but it's not that Qinglan will restrain people, so there is no good luck!
If things go on like this, how will you get married?

However, the Huang family hadn't heard anything yet, so they should come to apologize anyway, and Mrs. Dong came to Du Xian's house to make noise again today.

Du Xiaoyu got angry, "Third aunt went to the wrong door, you should go to my aunt's house!" Without waiting for Mrs. Dong to speak, he said, "I told you last time, didn't I ask your son?"

Dong was taken aback.

"You always know about him hanging out in the brothel, right?"

"This..." Dong blushed. She didn't want to bring up the matter of her son's lack of motivation. Since Du Xiaoyu reminded her, she had indeed found someone to find out about her son, and she also knew that he had a good friend in the brothel. She lowered her voice, "What's the matter with our Xiaotai? You just ask your aunt to come out."

Du Xiaoyu smiled, "That brothel is not so easy to get into. You know how much you give your son every month, and he can still go in and out frequently." She paused, "It costs at least ten dollars a night. Two denarii!"

Dong was stunned, ten taels of silver!She saves every day, for fear that her son will not be able to eat well and live in the county, but at most she can only give three or four taels of silver. How does he have so much money to spend?
"What's going on?" Dong was shocked, but also very anxious. Could it be that her son is really related to Qinglan's resignation?
Seeing that she believed her a little bit, Du Xiaoyu said, "He is in charge of Mr. Wang's asking for money, otherwise who will give it to him? If you don't believe me, you can ask, but don't come to our house again. If you talk about it, you will only lose your family." Face. I remind you so because of Qinglan's face, you will not get married if you don't want your daughter, and your son will not be able to get a wife in the future!"

Dong Shi took a step back in fright and hurried away.

As soon as she left, Qing Lan came back, "Is my mother here?"

"Yes."

Qinglan's expression changed immediately, she was ashamed and uneasy, "Xiaoyu, please tell your mother, auntie, don't take my mother's words to heart, I will go to persuade her about this matter."

"She left before she could say anything." Du Xiaoyu laughed, "Don't worry, I believe your mother will figure it out."

Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Du Xiaoyu stopped her, but fortunately, otherwise, she really didn't know what to do, and she was very worried about this matter.

"Qinglan, how have you been lately?" Although it's a blessing not to marry the Wang family, it's not good to be pointed at and poked at. Qinglan must be under a lot of pressure, and she doesn't know the truth about it.

Qing Lan smiled slightly, "It will be fine after a long time."

"Then do you blame my cousin?"

She didn't hesitate, "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, otherwise I wouldn't do it. Besides, if it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't know the Wang family would be so despicable!" Pushing it on her alone, if she really gets married, if something goes wrong then, I still don't know how to treat her!

"It's best if you think so." Du Xiaoyu laughed.

Qinglan was about to leave, but she turned her head after thinking for a while, "Xiaoyu, can my daughter's family really get married later?"

Du Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, "Of course you can, but you have to endure other people's stares and nagging from your family members. Besides, when you get older, there will be fewer people to choose from."

"I want to save more money and buy the grocery store when the time comes, so that our family will be much better. Anyway, my fourth aunt still has a store in the county, and she is too busy with things in her hands." Qinglan said her thoughts He paused, "I'm afraid that my mother won't give me some time, and I won't be able to talk so easily after I marry into my husband's family."

Obedience to the father before marriage, obedience to the husband when married, and obedience to the son when the husband died. Du Xiaoyu couldn't find anything to comfort her. They all said that a woman's marriage is no less than a second reincarnation. It's uncomfortable to get up.

After the two talked for a while, Qing Lan left.

The past few days have been peaceful, and the Dong family did not come again, presumably because they got the truth from Qin Tai, and the Lin family did not have any troubles again.

Du Xiaoyu was walking in the brassica field, seeing only the tender green leaves everywhere, he couldn't help but feel very happy.

If there are no accidents, the brassicas will bloom in about two months, and the fruits will be harvested in early summer. That is a barrel of rapeseed oil!
What is eaten here is the oil refined from sesame oil and animal fat, and the amount used is very rare. Usually, they are reluctant to put much in cooking. Therefore, most poor people cook stews and soups. If it is possible to refine rapeseed Oil, that would be a great feat!

She laughed out loud thinking about it, then knelt down and opened the leaves to observe.

There were a lot of aphids in the seedling stage, and they all needed to be controlled. As I was watching, my ears itched, and I turned my head, but I didn't know when Li Yuanqing stood beside her, bent down, and her black hair fell down, touching her. cheek.

"Why are you like a cat, you don't make a sound at all." Du Xiaoyu stood up and asked, isn't it scary.

"It's because you're too focused." Li Yuanqing smiled, pointing to Ye Zi, "Is it a pest attack?"

"No, I just used the insecticidal water two days ago, and it was still effective." Du Xiaoyu said worriedly, "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to survive the winter. Hengzhou seems to be warmer than here."

"It won't be much warmer. Besides, don't you always cover the top with grass to avoid the cold?"

"It's mainly for the first time." She was not sure.

"Just try your best. If you don't succeed once, plant it again." He comforted him gently, and remembered another thing, "I heard that when they planted land in Hengzhou Prefecture, if the weather was too cold, they would water more and say That way it won't freeze."

"There is still something like this?" Du Xiaoyu was surprised.

"Well, it is when the sun is good, you might as well try it."

Du Xiaoyu smiled, "Okay, if it's really useful, you've done a great job!"

"What reward will you give me?" He looked at her.

The blue clothes were like the color of the sky, and his facial features were clear and vivid. He stood there, smiling like that, and the fields in the distance seemed to gradually blur.

She looked down and looked down.

"Have you told your grandmother?" If it wasn't so serious, Mrs. Lin wouldn't have searched for it so eagerly, and said it incoherently. It must be because the old lady knew about it.

"Is someone from the Lin family here?" Hearing this sentence, Li Yuanqing asked hurriedly.

"Your aunt has been here, but she didn't say it clearly, it's just my guess."

She is so smart, it's normal to guess, Li Yuanqing said, "Yes, I told grandma, but it didn't mean anything else." He didn't want this to be a pressure on her.

Du Xiaoyu took a deep breath, "What about your Li family? If your father disagrees, what should you do?"

This is a pointed question.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Are you caring about me?"

"It's not easy for you father and son to recognize each other..."

"Is this a concern between siblings?" he interrupted her.

Du Xiaoyu was startled.

The corner of his mouth raised slightly, "If it's the relationship between brother and sister, I'd rather you stop caring about me."

Her heart trembled, and she felt a little pain. Was it because of his tone?Extremely helpless and unwilling, Du Xiaoyu stood still, but how could she tell the difference?

The love between brother and sister, and the love between a man and a woman, were mixed together for a while. She never thought that one day, she would not be able to tell the difference between these two emotions!

Those clear and bright eyes were full of confusion at the moment, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, and slowly placed it on her cheek.

The warm skin was as soft as a girl's. He stroked the corner of her mouth with his thumb, and said in a hoarse voice, "Little fish, can you really not like me?"

Her heart was pounding, her throat was so dry that she couldn't speak a word.

Those hands caressed her face gently, as if with magic power, she looked into his eyes, which contained their past, those days, like broken memories, instantly assembled a complete picture .

Does she like him or not?
Du Xiaoyu also stretched out his hand and placed it on Li Yuanqing's face.

It was so hot, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and infinite friendship flowed from his eyes. He said softly, "This is your verification method?"

She smiled, bit her lower lip, and her heart slowly calmed down again.

Yes, when they were brothers and sisters before, no matter how much they touched, their hearts wouldn't beat, but now it's different, if she really still regards him as her elder brother, she won't lose her composure like this.

During those three years apart, they had become strangers, but he had become manly.

It's exciting when you get close.

With her expression like this, Li Yuanqing's smile deepened. If he had known this, he should have gotten closer to her, like last time in the carriage...

"My father actually has a cold face and a warm heart." He said suddenly.

Are you telling her that the Li family is not a problem?Du Xiaoyu withdrew her hand, "Did I say I wanted to marry you?"

Li Yuanqing laughed, "I'm just telling you that my father is easy to get along with."

Only then did Du Xiaoyu realize that she had been fooled by him, she glared at him, and went home.

He just followed behind with a smile, feeling that today's weather is particularly comfortable, as if the sky is bluer than usual.
