Chapter 177: Talking nonsense with open eyes
On the other side, Du Yimeng left the Cai family and went straight back to the Du family. Along the way, she ignored Du Yixiang who was following behind her.
This is her cousin, not her biological sister. Even if she is her biological sister, she may not appreciate it if she says too much, and may even resent her.
For the sake of the old lady, she protected the other person once, but she couldn't protect the other person for a lifetime.
If Du Yixiang herself is a brainless person, what does her life or death have to do with her?
Everyone's life is in his own hands. If he commits suicide, no one can stop him.
As soon as Du Yimeng entered the Du family's old house, everyone's eyes fell on her, their eyes full of curiosity.
Before Du Yimeng and her two siblings left, Old Madam Du sent everyone out, including Old Man Du, leaving only Uncle Du who looked confused.
Half an hour later, the blank expression on Uncle Du's face disappeared. His eyes were red and his face was ashen, like an angry bull.
Then, no more...
He is an honest and simple man, but he is obedient!
"Aunt Cai is so polite. She insisted on inviting us to her house for dinner. How could we eat at someone else's house during the New Year? I tried to persuade her until my mouth was dry, but she finally let us come back. Grandma, do you have any water? I'm thirsty." Du Yimeng said loudly as he walked into the house.
Not to mention everyone in the Du family, even the neighbors on both sides could hear what she said.
The neighbors around heard it but didn't think much about it. If Du Yimeng came to their house, they would also invite her home for a meal.
After all, he is a cadre in the city. It would be helpful if we could make a good friend of him.
Only three people who knew the specific situation lowered their heads subconsciously.
Du Yile and Lao Wu were afraid of laughing, while Du Yixiang felt guilty, after all, everything that happened today was because of her.
She didn't know what she had done wrong, but her sister had been giving her the cold shoulder since she first met her, so it must be her fault.
"It's so cold, why don't you close the door? What if the jelly gets spoiled?" After Du Yimeng entered the house, she closed the door casually and locked the door on the other side.
Lao Wu, who was following behind her, almost had his nose in close contact with the door.
"The water is warm, drink it!" As soon as Du Yimeng entered the room, Old Mrs. Du looked at her with kindness and pointed to a cup of steaming water on the table.
Not to mention that she likes her eldest granddaughter, who wouldn't like such a smart child?
"Grandma really cares about me. She poured the water and cooled it early, and the temperature is just right." Du Yimeng said with a smile. Her words were also a subtle compliment to Grandma Du for her foresight.
She even calculated when she would be back. She was sitting on the kang at home, yet she could know what was going on in the world. The old lady was no ordinary woman!
In one breath, half the tank of water was gone.
The pastry was too dry. I don't know how long ago her grandmother bought it. But there aren't many preservatives these days, so if it wasn't dry, it would have gone bad.
Next, she told everything, from leaving the Du family's old house and meeting Aunt Chen to what happened in the Cai family.
The old lady looked at Du Yimeng with admiration. He was smart and not at a disadvantage. This was the child of her Du family.
As for the rest, well, let’s not talk about it…
But on second thought, if every descendant was so smart, would others still have a chance to survive?
One should not be too greedy and should always leave a way out for others.
"You did a great job! As for Xiaoxiang, that's your uncle and aunt's business. We can save her once, but we can't save her for a lifetime." Old Mrs. Du had a worried look on her face. After saying this, she sighed silently.
"Grandma, your big red scarf is gone. Why don't we put it on and go out for a walk?" Du Yimeng saw the sad look on the old lady's face and sighed silently.
Forget it...
Instead of wasting time on yourself, you might as well go out and torture others.
"Ever since your third grandmother recovered, she has been strolling around the village when she has nothing to do. Her mouth is even more annoying than before. Ergou's mother has to avoid her from a distance whenever she sees her. Let's not join in the fun." Old Mrs. Du said in a deep voice.
In the past, she would have definitely gone out to show off, but now she has heard that her eldest granddaughter has been transferred to another place.
The key point is that the eldest brother and his wife don’t know the specific job of their eldest granddaughter, which must be unusual.
People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being fat. In order to avoid causing trouble for her eldest granddaughter, she should keep a low profile!
"Third Grandma should be afraid of encountering grandma." Du Yimeng said with a smile. From what the old lady said, Third Grandma is now wandering around the village looking for someone to scam her.
Logically speaking, both old ladies were talkative, but she felt that her grandmother was more talkative.
"I am a person who cares about my reputation." Old Mrs. Du glared at Du Yimeng. Just now she was the granddaughter whom she kissed and caressed, but now she wanted to give her a beating.
She couldn't be so shameless as to save a few bites of food. She could lose her head and shed her blood, but she couldn't lose her face. This was her last bit of dignity.
But if the price is high, it’s not a bad idea. After all, sometimes you have to give yourself something to look good in.
"This is your dowry. Keep it safe. I won't give you a replacement if you lose it." Old Mrs. Du raised her eyelids and glanced out the window. Then she reached into the quilt and pulled out a rectangular wooden box.
Du Yimeng was stunned and the smile on her face disappeared.
"Is it really for me?" Du Yimeng asked in disbelief. Shouldn't good things be passed on to future generations?
She is a granddaughter and is going to marry into another family.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just take it." Old Mrs. Du rolled her eyes at her.
She also knew that heirlooms were meant to be passed down to future generations and then on and on.
As for why the things were given to the eldest granddaughter, it was because there were too many grandchildren and too few things to divide them up.
In that case, then the eldest should be the priority. All grandchildren are her blood relatives, so there is no problem in giving the things to the eldest granddaughter.
In fact, the most important thing is that the other grandchildren are too incompetent. Even if you give them good things, they will be like wild boars that can't even eat the bran, so her good things will be wasted.
"Thank you, grandma!" Du Yimeng first rubbed his hands on his pants, trying to get rid of any dirt on his hands, and then he carefully took it.
Then, with an excited heart and trembling hands, she carefully opened the wooden box.
She was completely stunned, suddenly looked up at Old Mrs. Du with a confused look on her face, and then quickly lowered her head.
What caught my eye was a very ordinary silver hairpin without any pattern. It would not look good if it was stuck on my head, but it could be used as a weapon.
Her grandmother was so mysterious and went through so much trouble, it was impossible that she did it just to give her a cheap silver hairpin.
This rectangular wooden box is 15 cm wide and about 30 cm long, but this silver hairpin is very thin and does not need such a large box.
