C163 (1/2)

The mother of the Lord Assistant Minister, the Du Family, was widowed in the early years, and only had one child in the early years of the Lord Assistant Minister. The society was in turmoil, and in the early years of life, they were poor.

The Du Family had always lived alone in the remote countryside. It was not easy for a widow to have painstakingly raised Lord Assistant Minister and nurtured him to take the examination.

The Du Family was indeed a very strong and somewhat hardworking person.

Lord Assistant Minister had repeatedly sent messages home, thinking to take the Du Family to Shangjing to enjoy their blessings. The Du Family had even rejected them because their health was not good, and their journey was far away. The Du Family merely did not wish to add to their troubles.

Lord Assistant Minister had no choice. When she had time, she would bring Madam Yang back to her hometown to celebrate New Year with Du Clan. When she had no time, she would also call her daughters home to celebrate the new year.

When Nangong Waner was four years old, he fell into the water, lost his sanity, and left the Lord Assistant Minister to her own devices. Other than occasionally having Nangong Ruyu return to accompany the Du Family for a few years, today was the first time Nangong Waner had gone back to the countryside to spend the new year.

At first, the Du Clan was very happy with the arrival of Nangong Waner and her. Although they liked peace and quiet when they were old, there were still a few older people who did not like being surrounded by descendants.

Hearing that his granddaughters were coming for the new year, the Du Family cleaned up the house a few days in advance, then went to the market place to go deep into the mountains, where they bought all kinds of meat.

In the beginning, the Du Clan happily entertained him for a few days, and personally cooked. Nangong Waner and Nangong Ruyu both ate well, and the Du Clan was also very pleased.

However, a few days later, the Du Family began to plan when Nangong Waner and his wife would return. In the end, he was old and felt that it was a little noisy as he listened to Nangong Waner and Nangong Ruyu playing around.

After all, the Du family was used to peace and quiet, and this house only had three rooms.

”Wan Er, the sun is shining brightly today, why don't you bring your sister out for a walk.” Madame Du looked at Nangong Waner and Nangong Ruyu who were laying on the brick bed in disarray and said.

It was freezing cold in the countryside. Although the sun was a bit strong today, it was still biting cold outside. Nangong Waner was focused on reading the drawing book, with a plate of peanuts and a plate of melon seeds by his mouth., who was in a similar position, was lying across from him.

When Du Shi called for his men, Nangong Waner threw the peanuts in his hands and raised his head with all his might to look out the window.

Nangong Waner pulled on the blanket on him again, and covered himself up even more tightly, ”I'm not going, Grandmother is too cold, let's light the fire again.”

Nangong Waner stretched out his leg and kicked Nangong Ruyu, ”Eat slower, you're almost done eating all the peanuts and seeds.”

Nangong Ruyu stepped on Nangong Waner, turning his face to eat even faster, kengchi kengchi.

The Du Family looked at the two old buddhas on the brick bed speechlessly. In the first few days when they first came, the Du Family was still a little new to them, they were still very concerned about Nangong Waner and Nangong Ruyu.

However, as the days passed, the Du Clan's clean and nimble character started to despise Nangong Waner and his wife.

Using the cold weather as a reason, Nangong Waner and Nangong Ruyu laid in bed from morning until night. Other than going to the latrine, they did not bring anyone else along.

Gradually, the village neighbors gossiped more and more, saying that the two ”old girls” from Du Family City had returned to the village for the new year, that it was fine if they didn't cook, and that they spent their days lying on the brick bed.

Furthermore, Nangong Waner's body was very slender, her age was not young, the village women would frequently come to the Du Family to ask, was it not good to have children, and not have a betrothal marriage?

Every time, Du took a broom and chased out the village women with long tongues.

Du Family was really reminiscing about their peaceful days …

Nangong Waner was also somewhat innocent.

Originally, it was hard for her to get used to such an isolated environment. Originally, her plan to give chase to Chu Xiuhan took a step and ended in failure, and she still needed to work hard to do so.
