Du Xiaoying was also frightened when she thought about it now. She comforted her mother, "Mom, my daughters Da Ya and Er Ya are like this: those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. Don't worry."
Du's mother sighed and asked how her daughter's family was doing recently.
"It's pretty good. Guoliang has a stable job and isn't idle after get off work. He helps with cooking, collecting firewood, washing clothes, and everything else. Daya and her four sisters go to the brigade primary school, and whenever they have free time after school, they help with cutting grass for pigs and collecting firewood..."
Speaking of her children, sister-in-law Wang Feng sighed, "My eldest son Niu Niu went to school for two years and learned to read. He is already 14 years old and will be old enough to meet his parents in the blink of an eye. I am so worried that I can't sleep all night.
It’s always difficult for us mountain kids to get married.”
Second sister-in-law Liu Honghong touched her belly and felt that her sister-in-law seemed to have changed a lot. She was no longer as silly as before and would help others count money after being sold.
Inside the house
Father Du nodded. "Even if we have to grit our teeth, we can't delay our child's future. By the way, Guoliang, why don't you stay here tonight and rest up? Go back tomorrow?"
"Dad, there is still a lot of work to do at home. Besides, Guoliang has to go to work tomorrow, so we have to go back in the afternoon." Du Xiaoying walked in with a smile, holding the dishes.
"After this busy period, I'll bring the kids back to stay with him for ten days during the winter. You and mom can take Niu Niu and the other kids with you and stay at home for a while. There's not much to do in the mountains during the winter anyway."
The second brother, Du Ershan, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go over and see the big house at my younger sister's house. We can stay there as long as we want. It will also save our parents from worrying about me all the time."
Father Du laughed and scolded, "What's the matter, you little bastard? You think your mother and I are eating the food at home, so you sent us to eat the food at your younger sister's house."
Second Brother Du's eyes widened in shock. "Dad, we must bring food with us. How can we eat my little sister's food for free?"
Du Xiaoying frowned, "Dad, second brother, why would I need to bring food with me when my parents come to live here? If you bring your own food, I'll throw it away to you right away. If you don't believe me, try it."
"This child." Father Du turned to look at his son-in-law, "Guoliang, this child has been stubborn since she was young. Don't be angry with her. As parents, how can we go to our child's house and eat and drink for free?"
....
That afternoon, the family was sent down the mountain with the mountain products that their parents, brother and sister-in-law had forced upon them.
"Why did it stop?" Du Xiaoying leaned forward in confusion, and couldn't help but frowned.
Arya waved her fist in warning, "A good dog doesn't block the road, get out of the way!"
"Second uncle, do you know how vicious this woman is?" Song Zilong ignored Erya's ferocious baring of teeth and pointed at Du Xiaoying viciously.
Song Guoliang's face darkened. He raised his hand to open his nephew's hand without any restraint. "You have no manners. You have read so much that you are completely lost. Second Aunt won't yell?!"
Song Zilong was so angry that he jumped up and down, "Second uncle, it's all this woman's fault. If it weren't for her, I would have married Xiuyu now, and maybe I would have found a job in the city.
Now, Xiuyu's parents said that the Song family had character problems and arranged a marriage partner for Xiuyu. You don't know how sad Xiuyu was crying.
"So, it's my fault that I stopped you from selling Daya in exchange for the bride price?" Du Xiaoying laughed angrily.
"If I were that girl's mother, and I knew she would marry someone like you who schemes against others, I would rather she never get married. It's better for me to keep her than marry someone like you and get bullied."
Song Zilong choked, and seeing his uncle's cold eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't mean that, Second Uncle, I—"
"That's enough! Longlong, you really disappoint me!"
Song Guoliang scolded in a deep voice, "I originally thought that selling Daya was your grandparents' and parents' willful decision, but I didn't expect... you also played a big role in it, didn't you?!"
"How have I wronged you? How could you come up with such a vicious plan!"
"Second uncle, this is none of my business. It was all my grandparents and my parents' idea. I—"
"Haha... you dare to do it but not take responsibility, what kind of man are you!" Du Xiaoying sneered, "I'm warning you, if you dare to pay attention to my daughter again, my daughter will lose a hair and I'll kill you."
Song Guoliang's face darkened. "We have already separated. If anything happens to the old house, don't blame my family."
Du Xiaoying said with a gloating look on her face: "Fortunately, fortunately, the little girl ran away just in time. If anyone married into your Song family, they would have eaten up every last bit of her..."
Song Zilong looked at the figure riding away on a bicycle, anger gushing from his eyes, and his eyes were as vicious as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
.....
"What? You got dumped by a city girl?"
"Mom, your words are so harsh. What do you mean by dumping me?" Liu Lanhua said with a dark face.
Old Lady Song glanced awkwardly at her eldest grandson's gloomy face and slapped her lips, "Longlong, what's going on? Our family is just trying to gather the money for the betrothal gift, and her family is so anxious that they want to reincarnate."
"I heard that Xiuyu's parents asked someone to find out about our family affairs, so they firmly disagreed and found another marriage for Xiuyu."
Song Zilong gritted his teeth and said, "This matter must be related to that bitch, otherwise it would really be too coincidental."
.....
Du Xiaoying recalled Song Zilong's sinister eyes and reminded her daughters, "When you see the Song family in the future, stay away from them. Don't confront them head-on. It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain!"
"I know, Mom."
Daya looked at her father worriedly, worried that her parents would quarrel because of this.
Song Guoliang nodded, "Your mother is right, the old house has completely hated our family now."
Erya frowned and scratched her head, "But Dad, you're obviously Grandma and Grandpa's child too, why are they so partial to Uncle?"
Song Guoliang shook his head. "I don't know either. Ever since I can remember, they have always favored the eldest brother."
"You didn't pick it up, did you? Otherwise, how could you be so partial to your son?" Du Xiaoying joked.
Song Guoliang shrugged, a faint smile on his lips, "That's possible."
Looking at his busy wife and daughter, his mind couldn't help but emerge with the original dream, and the confusion in his heart grew.
Everything that was happening now was completely different from what he had dreamed. Sometimes he even doubted whether the dream was true or not. Could it be that because he had not died on the battlefield as in the dream, that was why...
"What are you thinking about?"
Song Guoliang pondered for a moment, "Thinking back to that dream, I feel as if I'm still trapped in a trance."
Du Xiaoying's eyes flickered slightly, and she bit her lip. "Maybe it was something from a previous life, but... in this life, our family is working together, and it will never be like what you dreamed of!"
Song Guoliang looked at his wife's back and lowered his eyes to hide the shock in his eyes. For some reason, he always had a feeling that what his wife said was very likely to be true.
So...Xiaoying is...
