My Stepmother Is Soft and Charming

Chapter 231 The World Is Dangerous

But his pity did not earn Mrs. Du's pity.

The villain's previous evil will not disappear just because he is pitiful at this moment.

So after hearing his answer, Mr. Du and Madam Du looked at each other and then came up with a solution.

"We can help you fill in the hole of 300,000 taels."

Hearing this, Fourth Master 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 spoke.

"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. It is enough to keep the dozens of acres of land rent. You have a good time as a family."

Before Fourth Master Du finished his words of gratitude, he became 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 a poor life when he was young, once this person gets good, how can he be willing to let it go?

So, I stopped talking and even put away my tears.

He said to the Du family and his wife quite fearfully.

"Aren't my elder brother and sister-in-law going to let us die? When we go back to our hometown, to put it lightly, in that mountainous place, the rent of dozens of acres of land is not enough to fill our teeth. How can we survive with this 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 the blame is on our couple. It's like they are the evil sons of me, and you have to take care of them." It’s a joke, you can take care of it yourself, but I won’t pay for an extra penny. I can clean it up as much as I want. It’s just what I want!”

After saying this, Mrs. Du took Du Jingyi and left.

It was very disgusting to leave his daughter here to listen to such a bloody scene. Shang Ji glanced at the leaving wife and didn't want to stay any longer, so he said to Mr. Du.

"Father-in-law, let's take care of the housework. My son-in-law will go first."

When Shang Sanlang saw this, he bowed respectfully and then retreated.

For a moment, the only person left in the entire Maodiexuan was Master 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 didn't know where he got the confidence to have a game with Master Du here.

But he was a little confused. 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. Jin Shangshu 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.

"see a visitor out!"

When this sentence came out, Fourth Master Du was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his eldest brother would actually say that he didn't care and just left it alone.

But he still held on for a breath, always feeling that he couldn't write two characters of "Du" in one stroke, so he bet that his eldest brother would protect them for the sake of the Du family's face in the end.

It has to be said that this person is prone to going to extremes under heavy blows.

The disaster is coming, and you don't even know it yet.

After leaving Mao Diexuan, Mrs. Du returned to Mingse Courtyard with her daughter and son-in-law. She put away her cold face and said with loving eyes.

"I see that you look really good. I can see that the fetus has been raised well."

"The Queen asked Dr. Wang to take care of me personally. Of course nothing will go wrong. Don't worry, Mother."

"Well, last time I heard you said you were looking for a government doctor, but have you found a good one? How about I help take a look?"

Mrs. Du was concerned about her daughter's health, and it was not appropriate to rely on an imperial doctor every day, so she asked this question.

Du Jingyi said with a smile.

"Mom, don't worry. 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 family member must be a powerful one too."

The Wang family has been practicing medicine for generations, and 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.

He said with hope as he looked at his daughter's belly.

"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.”

After hearing this, Du Jingyi, a daughter, was really filled with emotion.

"What are you talking about, mother? You and your father both want to live a long life. The only ones who are healthy are you."

Mrs. Du didn't answer her, but the smile and relief on her face were obvious.

"There are a lot of things going on now, and I have discussed it with your sister. Brother Yun's 100-day banquet should be scheduled after your brother-in-law takes the spring exam, so as to avoid the excitement at home and affecting his mood, so it is still too late A few days."

"Everything depends on my parents' arrangements. We will congratulate you when the time comes."

"Well, when the time comes, invite Madam Gu and the others to come as well, and have a lively gathering."

The weather was fine and the family was reunited.

Shang Ji smiled and nodded when he heard this, and he would make arrangements when the time came.

The couple rarely came, so they naturally had dinner before leaving, and they were in a very good mood.

On the contrary, Master Du Si, who returned home, was worried and anxious, but he didn't make any big moves.

On the third day, seeing that everything outside was calm, Master Du Si thought he had survived, and said to his wife and his father who had just woken up.

"See, the Jin family said harshly, but it's nothing. What good will it do them if such a thing gets out?"

The second master Du's face also recovered a little, and he couldn't help complaining when he thought of what his son said to him.

"The eldest brother's family really has no mercy on us. They are still thinking of sending us back to our hometown. They are dreaming! The most important thing now is to settle Jingxian down and prevent the people of the Jin family from finding him. Otherwise, I am afraid that he will lose his legs and hands."

Sure enough, Du Jingxian's disappearance was arranged by the father and son.

They knew that Du Jingxian did not accomplish this in the north. In order to prevent retaliation, they hid him and said that he was missing.
