Du Shi didn't know Xiaoduo's name at all. In her opinion, this was just a picked-up wild child or a girl's movie. What use could it be?
She just wanted to get closer to Lin Yuxi, so she wanted to talk to Xiaoduo, but unexpectedly, this little girl didn't listen to her.
Lin Yuxi asked such a question, and it was not appropriate for her not to answer. She laughed and said, "I am old and have a bad memory. I always scream like a girl. I really can't remember her name. She is a member of my family. Why?"
They are all called the same."
Lin Yuxi was too lazy to pay attention to her and was about to take Xiaoduo home. Du Shi quickly followed.
"Joy, I originally came to see you today, but it wasn't me who came here. It was your grandparents who wanted to come. They said that you have been married for so many years and have never returned to your parents' home. Are you going to leave your parents' home?
Forgot?"
"Your grandparents have been talking about you. They are getting older now and miss you very much. When your niece and son-in-law come back, you can go home and sit together. We are all a family, so don't be so divided."
Lin Joy nodded, "I know my mother-in-law's family will definitely not be divorced from me. It just so happens that when Zhong Qian comes back, we should be waiting to be sent to the post. This matter is still very troublesome."
The smile on Mrs. Du's face froze, and she asked hesitantly, "What...what trouble? You have to be an official, why bother?"
Lin Hexi sighed, "Auntie, I don't know that the world is in such chaos now. Even if you get the top prize, if you want to be an official, you have to spend money to smoothen your relationships. Zhong Qian doesn't know how much money it will cost."
"Hey, I'm worried about this, and I'm thinking about asking friends and relatives to borrow it. Zhong Qian has worked hard for so many years, so we can't let him work in vain just because he can't come up with the few hundred taels of silver, right?"
"I had wanted to go back to my parents' house for a long time. I thought that I had been married for so many years and it was really hard for me to talk to my parents' family again, so I never had the nerve to go back. Now that my eldest aunt said that we are a family, I will wait until Zhong Qian comes back.
Let's go back to our parents' house and have a look. It's not easy to open our mouths, so we have to open our mouths."
Du Shi's eyes widened and she wanted to turn around and leave, "How can my family have any money? As you just said, you have been married for so long, how can you ask your mother's family for help with this matter?"
"I thought that Zhong Qian would be able to help out now that he was capable, but I didn't expect that all you ask for is borrowing money, and there are so many mouths waiting for food at home. You can't just think about your husband's family when you get married, right?"
Lin Yuxi nodded, "Auntie taught me right. It's really hard for me to open my mouth. If Auntie hadn't mentioned it today, I would be embarrassed to say it. Now I just pretend that I haven't heard these words."
She added, "Zhong Qian should be back soon. Let's go home and see him then. My grandparents have never seen Zhong Qian and his two children."
Du Shi waved her hands repeatedly, "No, there are a lot of things at home, and your grandparents don't have the time to spare. You should think of more ways to raise money, and then go back when this matter is done, otherwise won't it make your grandparents worry?
"
"That's true." Lin Joy nodded again, "I didn't think carefully enough, Xiaoduo, let's go home and continue borrowing money."
Xiaoduo nodded, "Well, if we go to the village chief's house to borrow it, Xiaoduo will definitely cry."
Lin Yuxi touched her head and said, "Good boy, your parents have wronged you."
When Mrs. Du saw this, she ran faster than anyone else, fearing that Lin Xixi would take the child back to her parents' home. If the two elders in the family were really stupid and lent them money, how would they live?
After she ran away, Xiaoduo said with a smile, "Mom still has a way."
Lin Hexi smiled and said, "If she is really willing to help, it won't be a big deal if her mother-in-law recognizes her, but you have also seen that she can run faster than anyone else when it is beneficial, and she can run faster when she hears there is trouble.
Is it considered family?”
Xiaoduo shook his head, "It doesn't matter. Family members should share blessings and share hardships."
"Yes." Lin Yuxi said, "When others are good to you, you should be good to others, whether they are family members or strangers, there are good and bad things."
"knew."
Du Shi bought her things and was about to go home. Then she came to her senses. Could that girl Lin Yuxi be bluffing her?
In order to avoid the army, Chen Zhongqian spent three hundred taels of silver, and they still live in such a big new house. It doesn't look like they have no money.
Dr. Zhuang from Renji Hall was still protecting the little girl. He seemed to have a good relationship with her. It didn't look like Lin Yuxi couldn't make money.
You were able to come up with three hundred taels last time, but not this time?
Mrs. Du was angry, Lin Yuxi was so mean-spirited and evil-minded. She would not care about her family after she got married. If she died, she would go to hell.
…
Lin Yuxi felt that Chen Zhongqian was coming back, so she bought food and prepared to cook his favorite dishes.
It was late March when Chen Zhongqian and others returned to town. They had been out for a long time and didn't need to wear such thick clothes when they came back.
Yue Ye went home directly and said with a smile, "You all go home and have a good rest. Zhong Qian is in a hurry. This journey has exhausted me to death."
Chen Zhongqian glanced at him lightly, "I think you are living a good life."
"Zhong Qian, you really don't know how much you care about me until I stop breathing!"
Chen Zhongqian opened the curtain and ignored it, eager to go home.
Two cars, one for Liu Zhaofei and the other for Chen Zhongqian and Chen Zhongda.
After struggling for a few days, everyone finally got home and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Zhongda jumped off the carriage, and Mrs. Yang hurriedly ran out to pick her up, "Oh, my son, you are finally back. Mom misses you so much at home."
Chen Zhongda nodded and took down the things from the car. This time he came back and bought a lot of things for his family.
With sharp eyes, Yang saw a lot of things in the car, "Didn't you buy those?"
Chen Zhongda was embarrassed, why did he do this every time?
"Mom, my eldest brother bought those."
Yang wanted to, but Wu came out of the yard and said with a smile, "Zhong Qian, you can get out of the car too. You two brothers have come back from the capital. Our family must get together. Grandma will do it at noon."
If you want some good food, you can eat at home."
Chen Zhongqian opened the curtain and said, "Xi Xixi has prepared the meal and is waiting for me. No need."
Without waiting for further persuasion, Wu lowered the curtain and let the coachman leave.
Mrs. Wu stamped her feet anxiously, "This child, why doesn't he get close to his family? We are a family, and he is very close to Lin Xixi."
Chen Zhongda said, "Grandma, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have a very good relationship. Isn't this right?"
Mrs. Wu just didn't like Lin Hexi, because Lin Hexi didn't give her face. She told her to move back several times, but Lin Hexi ignored her.
She thought about waiting for Chen Zhongqian to come back and persuade him directly, but it turned out that Chen Zhongqian also had the same attitude, which was really frustrating.
"Zhongda, come in quickly, are you tired from the journey?" This grandson couldn't be left in the cold any longer, so Mrs. Wu hurriedly pulled Chen Zhongda into the house.
