MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 231 The world is dangerous
Chapter 231 The dangerous world
But his pity did not earn Mrs. Du's pity.
The evil that the evil man had before will not disappear just because he is pitiful at this moment.
So after hearing his answer, Mr. Du and Mrs. Du looked at each other, and then came up with a way.
“We can help you fill in the hole of 300,000 taels.”
Hearing this, Mr. Du's eyes suddenly lit up and he said quickly.
“I knew that big brother wouldn’t leave us alone, thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother.”
This was probably the most sincere thank you from Fourth Master Du at this time. Unfortunately, the incident between the farmer and the snake happened over and over again in the Du family. The couple were neither fools nor soft-hearted people. Since they wanted to help him pay off his debt, , naturally there are conditions.
So he opened his mouth and said.
"Repay, we can pay it back, but the condition is that all the things that were given to you in Sui'an City must be returned in full. As for you, just go back to your hometown. You can keep the dozens of acres of land rent, which is enough. You guys have a good time as a family.”
Before Fourth Master Du could finish his words of gratitude, he felt stupid.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Although he was born in hard times when he was young, once this person gets good, how can he be willing to let it go?
Therefore, I was speechless and even put away my tears.
He said to the Du family and his wife quite fearfully.
“Aren’t my elder brothers and sisters-in-law going to let us die? When we go back to our hometown, to put it lightly, in that ravine place, the rent of dozens of acres of land is not enough to fill our teeth. How can we survive with such a big family?”
After hearing what he said, Mrs. Du didn't even bother to say a word to him. She stood up and said coldly to Mr. Du.
"I told you earlier that these people are all hungry wolves, and you insist on taking care of them. Look, now it's our couple's fault. It's like they are the evil sons of me, and you have to take care of them. Is the whole thing buried? It’s a joke, you can handle it yourself, but I won’t take out an extra penny. I can clean it up as much as the Jin family wants. It’s just what I want after everything is cleaned up!”
After saying this, Mrs. Du took Du Jingyi and left.
Such a **** scene, it was very disgusting to leave his daughter here to listen to it. Shang Ji glanced at his wife who was leaving and didn't want to stay any longer, so he said to Mr. Du.
“Father-in-law, let me handle the housework, and my son-in-law will go first.”
When Shang Sanlang saw this, he bowed respectfully and then retreated.
For a time, the only person left in the entire Maodiexuan was Mr. Du, who was sitting high and silent, while the unwilling fourth master Du and the unconscious second master Du were in a stalemate here.
Du Si doesn’t know where he got the confidence to have a game with Mr. Du here.
But he was a little unclear. He didn't even have a trump card, so what qualifications did he have to play games with others.
Mr. Du watched his wife, daughter, and son-in-law leave, sighed deeply, and then said.
"Since the fourth brother insists on doing this, there is nothing I can do about it. The Minister of Jin just said that this matter has nothing to do with us, so I don't have to stand up for you. The fourth brother can handle it on his own."
Then he called the housekeeper and said calmly.
“Send off guests!”
When this sentence came out, Mr. Du was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his eldest brother would actually say that he would just leave it alone.
But he still managed to hold on for a breath, feeling that he couldn't write two characters of "Du" in one stroke, so he bet that his eldest brother would protect them in the end for the sake of the Du family's face.
I have to say that this person is prone to going to extremes under heavy blows. Disasters like the collapse of the sky are coming, and you don’t even know it yet.
Mrs. Du, who left Mao Diexuan, returned to Mingse Courtyard with her daughter and son-in-law, put away her cold face just now, and said with loving eyes.
“I see that you look really good. I can see that the baby was raised well.”
“The Queen asked Dr. Wang to take care of me personally, so of course nothing will go wrong. Don’t worry, Mother.”
“Well, last time I heard you said you wanted to find a government doctor, but have you found a good one? How about I help you take a look?”
Mrs. Du is concerned about her daughter's health, and it is not appropriate to rely on an imperial doctor every day, so she asked this question.
Du Jingyi said with a smile.
“Don’t worry, mother, one of Wang Yizheng’s relatives has a nephew who is over forty years old and is very capable. He is best at treating women and children, so the general has already decided to invite him to the mansion to take charge.”
“Oh, Wang Yizheng’s kinsman must be a powerful one too.”
The Wang family has been practicing medicine for generations. It can be said that 70% to 80% of the family members are related to doctors, so it is indeed good for him to come forward to introduce this nephew, so Mrs. Du felt relieved.
Looking at his daughter's belly, he said with hope.
"When you give birth to a baby, my heart will be at ease. From now on, your sister will live a good life as your sister. You will live a good life as your sister. Your father and I will also take good care of your health and not let it go." That’s what worries you.”
Hearing this, Du Jingyi, a daughter, was really filled with emotion.
“What do you say, mother? You and your father both want to live a long life. The only ones who are healthy are you.”
Mrs. Du did not answer her, but the smile and relief on her face were obvious.
"There are a lot of things going on now. I have also discussed with your sister that Brother Yun's 100-day banquet will be scheduled after your brother-in-law takes the spring exam to avoid the excitement at home and affect his mood, so it is still late. A few days."
“Everything is up to my parents’ arrangements. We will congratulate you when the time comes.”
“Well, when the time comes, let’s invite Mrs. Gu and the others to come together and have a lively gathering.”
The wind is sunny and the family is reunited.
Shang Ji smiled and nodded after hearing the words. He will make arrangements when the time comes.
It was a rare visit for the couple, so they naturally left after eating. They were in a very happy mood.
On the contrary, Fourth Master Du returned home with a look of worry and anxiety, but he didn't make any big movements.
It was like this on the third day. Seeing that everything was calm outside, Mr. Du thought he had made it through. He said to his wife and his father who had just woken up.
"Look, what the Jin family says is cruel, but it doesn't really matter. If such a thing breaks out, what good will it do to them?"
The second Mr. Du's face also recovered slightly. Thinking of what his son said to him, he couldn't help but complain.
"The boss and his family really don't have any sympathy for us anymore. They even want to drive us back to our hometown. What a dream! The most important thing right now is to settle Jingxian and don't let the Jin family find him, otherwise we will just I’m afraid I’m going to break my legs and hands.”
As expected, Du Jingxian’s disappearance was arranged by the father and son.
They knew early on that Du Jingxian had not accomplished this in the north. In order to prevent him from being retaliated against, they hid him and then told the public that he was missing.
