Chapter 244: He is becoming more and more fond of this niece
"Wanwan is right. For your mother and I, the past cannot be touched casually. People will die, many people will die." Yao Xianqing's tone was calm, feeling relieved. "Fortunately, you live in Dawei. If you were in Dongchen, I'm afraid you wouldn't have such a comfortable life."
Du Wanwan glanced at Yao Xianqing and suddenly asked, "When does uncle plan to take back his throne?"
Du Wenjun didn't say anything, but sat aside, looking at the uncle he had just met with great interest.
Chu Hanfeng was always very considerate. She knew they had something to say, so she made an excuse that she had something to do and went to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law cook.
In the Du family, she was not a disaster star, nor was she a legitimate daughter, but the daughter-in-law of the Du family. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law never treated her as an outsider, and always ordered her around and never left out any delicious food.
No matter what you say, don't avoid her, be open and frank, say what you need to say, smile when you need to smile, and be serious when you need to be serious.
The two younger brothers-in-law, one elder sister-in-law and one younger sister-in-law in the family were all very kind to her and never said sarcastic words like the brothers and sisters of the Chu family.
She felt the warmth from her mother-in-law that her biological mother had never given her.
She felt that marrying into the Du family was the most correct thing she had done. She also treated people who treated her sincerely.
She likes her current life very much. No one ridicules her or looks down on her because of her illness, and no one spoils her because she is the eldest daughter of the Chu family.
Everyone lives their life as usual. In the morning, my parents-in-law cooks, and after everyone finishes eating, they go about their own business while my parents-in-law clean up the dishes.
She followed her husband to the farm to visit the workshops, went to the canteen for lunch, and returned home in the evening to have dinner with her parents-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law.
She also learned to wash dishes and helped her mother-in-law clean the kitchen. No one laughed at her for being clumsy, and she became more and more adept at her job.
Outside, Yao Xianqing was stunned by his niece Du Wanwan's question, then smiled and said, "Wanwan! Don't ask such troublesome questions, little kid. Uncle hasn't thought about it yet."
Du Wenjun, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw his uncle reject his eldest sister, causing Du Wanwan and Yao Xianqing to look at him.
Yao Xianqing's gaze was fine, just inquiring, but his eldest sister's gaze was so cold that he shuddered all over and dared not laugh anymore.
Yao Xianqing's great interest was aroused by his nephew's subconscious behavior.
He finally realized that in his eldest sister's family, his elder sister and brother-in-law's words were not counted, and his eldest nephew didn't seem to have much say. The only one who had a say was his niece.
Oh! I remember now, my elder sister said that Wanwan is a very capable person, and she can help to settle any problem.
If this is true, then could his niece also help him purchase the crossbow?
But how should he say this?
"When will you be able to make up your mind? Are you short of people or money?" Du Wanwan withdrew her gaze from Du Wenjun and turned to Yao Xianqing.
"People and money are easy to come by, but my uncle is in need of weapons." Regardless of whether Du Wanwan could help him or not, Yao Xianqing decided to speak out what he was thinking, "We are in need of weapons that can catch the enemy off guard and control the entire situation."
"This is easy. Leave it to my sister." Du Wenjun gave Yao Xianqing some advice. "My sister is very capable. The weapons she researched are unique. Do you know the automatic crossbow? My sister researched it."
"What?"
Yao Xianqing jumped up excitedly with an expression of disbelief on his face. He looked at Du Wenjun and then at Du Wanwan, feeling that he had heard it wrongly.
It must be that Du Wenjun spoke too fast, causing him to have hallucinations.
It must be like this.
How old is his niece? He believes in her medical research, but he absolutely does not believe in her research on weapons.
The repeating crossbow was developed by the father and son of Pingyang Hou. What does it have to do with my niece? Even if she is Ye Tingxiao's fiancée, it has nothing to do with her.
After calming down for a while, Yao Xianqing slowly sat down and said, "Wenjun! Are you mistaken? How could the automatic crossbow be developed by Wanwan? It was developed by Pingyang Hou and his son."
Du Wanwan had no expression on her face. Only the closest relatives knew the truth about this matter. It didn't matter if her uncle didn't believe it. Du Wenjun didn't argue anymore, but looked at Du Wanwan.
The meaning in her eyes is very clear, let her speak for herself.
Du Wanwan pretended not to see it and asked Yao Xianqing: "Uncle, are you going to buy a repeating crossbow?"
Yao Xianqing: “???”
Was my performance so obvious? Did you see it right away?
Now that his secrets had been seen through, Yao Xianqing felt that there was no need to hide anything. It was simply that his niece's eyes were too sharp and seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
No wonder she sent people to the capital of Dongchen Kingdom to look for me, and she found me as soon as she started looking. It turns out that she knows everything.
I have been hiding for so many years, and that old witch Ruan Chengbi couldn't find me, but she did.
"Wan Wan! You guessed it right. My uncle came here for two reasons: first, rare sugar, strong liquor, tea oil, and sesame oil. Second, he came for the automatic crossbow. I wonder if you can help my uncle buy a batch?"
Du Wenjun sat aside, listening to the conversation between Yao Xianqing and Du Wanwan with great interest.
There were people guarding outside their house, and it was in the backyard, so unless someone shouted loudly, the sound of their conversation would not be heard.
Du Wanwan shook her head simply: "There is no way."
Her answer was within Yao Xianqing's expectations. It was impossible to buy military weapons from private individuals.
"Uncle should understand that if I sell you a crossbow, the entire family of Pingyang Marquis will be executed."
Sighing softly, Yao Xianqing did not blame Du Wanwan for speaking directly. She was telling the truth: "Of course, uncle understands that if there is no weapon that can shock people, it will not be so easy to take back what belongs to you."
"Not necessarily. Things change so much. Don't generalize."
Du Wanwan's indifferent tone gave Yao Xianqing hope. He loved this niece more and more.
How old is he, yet he has such insight? Things change so fast? Can't we generalize?
Does this mean that there is still hope for him? But where is the hope? When will he encounter it?
Du Wenjun said seriously, "Uncle! You must listen to my sister. Every word she says is wise.
To be honest, everything on my farm was invented by my sister. If I were to rely on myself, I would never be able to research so many valuable things in my lifetime."
After hearing his words, Yao Xianqing's eyes widened little by little, and finally widened to the limit. He looked at Du Wanwan and asked in disbelief: "Is what Wenjun said true?"
Du Wanwan nodded slightly and smiled: "It's just a small business, not worth mentioning. If my uncle wants to build his own wine-making workshop or sugar-making workshop in Dongchen in the future, Wanwan will definitely help him with all her heart."
