Chapter 78
"You!" Qian turned around and saw Du Xuan, and was startled. She didn't even notice when Du Xuan came in, "You...when did you come?"
"Just now. Fortunately, I came in time. Aunt Qian is so angry." Du Xuan said with a smile.
"Hmph! It's easy for you to just throw the child over to us and you won't be afraid of delaying Jin Niang's work. And you even borrowed my tools before, right?"
Mr. Qian is not like Mr. Yang, and he can still be arrogant in front of his daughter-in-law, but when outsiders are present, he won't speak so loudly.
"Yes, the tools have been returned to your home, what? Do you still want to collect some money? Then I will go and promote it to you tomorrow. From now on, you can take over my aunt's mantle."
Du Xuan smiled.
Qian's face froze, Yang was famous for being stingy and taking advantage.
But in fact, there are very few peasant women like them who don’t like to take advantage.
"You, what are you talking about!" Qian's expression was not very good.
Du Xuan was too lazy to coddle her and continued, "Originally, I wasn't targeting you. I thought Jin Niang was easy to get along with, so I just kept in touch with her more. I had no intention of getting in touch with the rest of your Sun family at all.
You don’t have to be so impatient."
Du Xuan glanced at Sun Er, she was really disgusted with this kind of man who would talk to his daughter-in-law first and then tell his own wife.
Especially when my wife comes to bully my daughter-in-law because of this, I am just like a background, as if I have died there, silently and without any movement.
Du Xuan didn't even bother to look at him.
"Who are you so worried about? You think we want to associate with you? You don't want to associate with our family, why are you running to our house? You are really interesting," Qian said.
Du Xuan was not annoyed when she heard this. She still had a faint smile without any warmth at the corner of her mouth, "Yes, I made an omission, and I won't do it in the future. But since I have said this, let me make it clear. In the future, your family will have
If you need any help from me, please don't ask."
"Tsk..." Qian rolled his eyes and sneered, "What can we do for you to help us? Even if my family's conditions are worse, they are better than yours."
Du Xuan burst out laughing after hearing this. She nodded, "Well, that's best."
Then she looked at Chen Jinniang, "Since the Sun family doesn't welcome me, I won't come. Jinniang."
Chen Jinniang raised her red eyes to look at her blankly, and saw the smile on her face. She saw that Du Xuan's smile, which had always been cold, suddenly felt a little warm.
"...Huh?" Chen Jinniang responded in a daze.
"Since I'm not welcome here, please work harder and go to my house. I have delicious food at my house, so bring Tao Ya'er with you." Du Xuan said with a smile.
Chen Jinniang didn't speak, she was stunned, but after hearing Du Xuan's words, her eyes immediately filled with tears. She nodded heavily, and tears rolled out of her eyes because of the movement of nodding.
Chen Jinniang never expected that Xuan Niang would still be willing to associate with her after her mother-in-law and husband behaved so uglyly!
When Mr. Qian heard Du Xuan's words, he sneered again, "What delicious food can you get at your house? You are so poor that you are worse off..."
Du Xuan laughed, "As you said, Mrs. Qian, my family has a lot of delicious food. After all, my man is a hunter."
Du Xuan paused and then added, "Maybe he is the most powerful hunter in the surrounding towns. There is no shortage of meat and vegetables in my family. Maybe I can hunt down some rare goods every now and then."
Du Xuan glanced at Sun Taotao, who was standing timidly behind, "Sister Tao, is Aunt Xuan's mutton pie delicious?"
Sun Taotao was very timid in front of Mr. Qian. She was beaten and scolded by her patriarchal grandmother since she was a child. She grew up with a shadow.
But now, looking at the encouraging look in Aunt Xuan's eyes, she suddenly seemed not so scared.
Although it was just a slight movement, it did require her to get rid of her fear before she could do it.
Sun Taotao nodded slightly and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's whine, "It's especially delicious."
Qian's eyes almost popped out of her head, "Damn girl! What's the matter with you! Why are you talking so much!"
Qian turned his eyes and stared at Du Xuan, "Don't be complacent! No matter how powerful your man is, he is just a hunter. Winter is coming soon. Let me see what you can eat then! You can do it right here with me.
Bar!"
Du Xuan waved her hand, not wanting to talk to her anymore.
He gave Chen Jinniang a few persimmons in the basket, then took his little treasure and left Sun's house.
Women in this world do have many deep-rooted consciousnesses.
But Du Xuan felt, or she hoped, that Chen Jinniang could have some awakening of consciousness. In this world, as long as there is some awakening of consciousness, even just a little.
They can all live freer and more released. At least mentally.
Not far after Du Xuan led Xiaobao out of Sun's house, she vaguely heard Chen Jinniang's voice inside, "They gave me Tao Ya'er! If I don't eat Tao Ya'er! It won't be cheap if I throw it away."
Someone else’s son!”
The corners of Du Xuan's mouth curled up slightly. She still remembered that Chen Jinniang once said that her mother-in-law used to take things from her to benefit her grandson, but she never dared to resist.
He even felt that his failure to give the Sun family a grandson was due to his own incompetence.
But now, Du Xuan feels that Chen Jinniang shouldn't feel that way anymore, or not entirely.
Xiaobao was a little dull on the side. The little guy was obviously depressed. He asked Du Xuan in a low voice, "Mom, aren't you angry?"
"I'm not angry. Are you angry?" Du Xuan lowered her eyes and looked at him.
Qi Xiaobao was silent for a moment and shook his head gently, "I'm not angry. It's just..."
He sighed, "Am I not allowed to play with Sister Taotao in the future?"
"Not necessarily, let's see if your Aunt Jin is good. If she is good, you can still play with Sister Taotao in the future," Du Xuan said.
In fact, it is not difficult to see that Qi Xiaobao is very reluctant to part with him. After all, it is not easy for him to have a little friend, which is a very precious thing to him.
But he thought for a moment and shook his head vigorously, "Forget it, if you play with her, her family will scold you and bully you. I won't play with her anymore."
Du Xuan's heart suddenly melted, "You are really my caring little cotton-padded jacket."
Qi Xiaobao rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and then asked, "Mom, aren't we going home?"
Although he couldn't see it, he was still quite accurate about the changes in direction, and he quickly realized that the route was wrong.
Du Xuan also thought that she should really ask this child about his eyes.
