Chapter 82 The Three Du Brothers Come to Force
Village Chief Du's wife glanced at him and asked unhappily, "Think about it carefully. When Du Jiang's parents were alive, were they particularly good to Wan Wan?"
Village Chief Du thought about it seriously and said, "It seems so."
"What do you mean it seems like that? It is exactly like that." Village Chief Du's wife sighed slightly, "Chen's daughter Du Hong is not liked by her parents-in-law, so she is naturally resentful.
The original intention of spreading this gossip was to show that the family didn't like Wanwan, but later on, somehow, the rumor spread so much that even the whole village believed it.
In the past, my family members also said, "Didn't I warn you not to believe in those untrue things? But you just didn't believe it and insisted on saying that a teenage girl was a disaster."
If she had that ability, wouldn't the old emperor have called her over? If the enemy dared to attack us, wouldn't it be enough to send the star of disaster to bring down a few disasters? Is it necessary for the soldiers to risk their lives? Should we all flee from the famine?"
Village Chief Du lowered his head and dared not speak again. The woman was right. As the head of the village, he should not believe in supernatural powers and nonsense.
"Just wait and see! Wanwan's abilities are still to come. This child can communicate with birds. Is that a skill that ordinary people have? My family members don't listen to me. You have to control them and don't provoke Du Jiang's family for no reason."
"I understand. I will pass it on."
Village Chief Du never took his wife's words seriously before, but now it seems that his wife is the one with the clearest mind. If they had listened to her earlier, they would be the ones queuing up to enter the city in advance, and the people of Huojia Village would not even be able to get close to them.
Chen saw the people of Huojia Village queuing up to enter the city, and she felt uncomfortable as if she was being scratched by a cat. She didn't dare to go to the village chief. She just saw the village chief go to Du Wanwan, and then came back in a dejected state.
It must be that the disaster star did not agree to the village chief’s request.
"I don't know how that bad luck came to him. Why was he able to enter the city ahead of time?" Chen kept whispering in Du Hai's ear, "Why don't you go and ask Big Brother to take us into the city with him?"
Du Hai refused: "You go if you want to go, I won't go. My brother listens to the disaster star in everything, so it's useless even if I go. If the disaster star doesn't agree, he can't do anything."
Chen didn't dare to go. The last time she went to make trouble with Du Jiang's family, she was beaten badly. If she went again, she might be beaten again.
He poked his eldest daughter Du Hong and said, "Go and say a few good words to the disaster star and ask her to take us into the city."
Du Hong refused: "No, I hate that evil star. It's not like I can't get in. Isn't it just a matter of waiting for two more days? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Mei also whispered the same words to Du He, the man, as Chen did. Du He shook his head and said, "Forget it. We were so heartless to our eldest brother's family back then. How can we beg them now? I won't go."
Mei encouraged her son Du Wencheng: "Why don't you go? Aren't you on good terms with Wen Guan, Wen Huo? Go and ask your uncle to take our family into the city as soon as possible."
Du Wencheng looked at his mother and asked her, "Mom! Didn't you say that my uncle's family was plagued by bad luck and forbad me to associate with them? Now that you see that my uncle's family is doing well, aren't you afraid of being plagued by bad luck?"
Mei's face flushed at her son's words. Yes! She did tell her son this at the beginning. At that time, Du Jiang's family was really unlucky. Who knew that they would be so scared after leaving Dujia Village?
Not to mention anything else, just because Du Wanwan knows the military commander here, she can enter the city early. In the future, she will have a backer here, and it will not be a disadvantage to establish a good relationship with their family.
Mei leaned close to Du He's ear and analyzed the pros and cons with him in a low voice: "You are stupid! What's the point of bowing to your own elder brother? We did say something excessive, but as long as you sincerely repent, elder brother will forgive you. He is honest and kind.
Haven't you figured it out yet? Wanwan knows someone from Liang County, and we're going to settle down here in the future. If nothing else, even if you point us to a good village, our lives will be much easier.
You are his second brother, it is better for you to say it than for me. After all, I am an outsider and you are brothers who are connected by bones.
Even if they had fallen out before, what would be wrong with reconciling now? It doesn't matter if I lose face in front of my big brother, the benefits I get are real."
Du He felt that his wife was right after giving him this advice. Now that his parents were gone, it was okay for the eldest brother to take care of his younger brothers if he was capable.
"Okay, I'll go and talk to you."
Mrs. Qiu had been secretly observing the actions of Du He and Du Hai. When she saw Du He get up and go to the city gate, she quickly asked Du Tao to follow him.
This was something they had already discussed. As long as the second and third brothers took the initiative to seek reconciliation with the eldest brother, they would have to follow. Everyone should take advantage, and they should not be left out.
When Chen saw Du He and Du Tao leave, she didn't hesitate at all and urged Du Hai: "You dead man, go with them. Your second brother and fourth brother have already left, why are you still standing there? Isn't it better to get into the city earlier and settle down earlier?"
Du Hai looked up, and at Chen's repeated urging, he stood up and followed.
Du Wanwan's family was at the end of the line in Huojia Village going into the city. She was bored and took a nap leaning on the wheelbarrow.
Du Jiang stood aside, waiting with his three sons, while Yao Meixian and Du Xiuxiu sat in the car. When the people in front wanted to move, Du Wanwan would push the car and move along.
Du He came over and greeted Du Jiang with an embarrassed expression: "Brother! I also want to go to the city earlier, can you help me to ask for favors?"
Du Hai said in an imperative tone: "We are brothers from the same mother. Your Wanwan can bring people from Huojia Village into the city, so she can bring us with her, right?"
Du Wanwan didn't even bother to open her eyes, and threw out two words indifferently: "No."
Du Tao morally blackmailed: "Wanwan! After all, we are your elders. Don't be so heartless in your conduct or you will be struck by lightning."
"Struck by lightning?" Du Wanwan opened her eyes, smiled, and said in a light tone, "I'm really not afraid. If you have the guts, let yourself be struck by lightning and see."
"You?" Du Tao was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Du He tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, we're all family, there's no need to get angry. Wanwan! Take your second uncle's family with you! Second uncle and second aunt already know they were wrong, so can we not mention the unpleasant things from now on?"
Yao Meixian was unhappy: "Don't force my Wanwan. We have already made a decision on the matter between us. Let's follow the original decision."
The women from Huojia Village chimed in: "You are too shameless. You have already driven the eldest brother's family out and severed all ties with them. Why are you still pestering us?"
"Du Jiang's family is from our Huojia Village, not your Dujia Village, go back!"
"That's right, we are from the village, why do we need you to come and talk nonsense?"
Du Jiang, who had been silent the whole time, silently said, "It's not that Big Brother wants to abandon you, it's that you choose to break off with Big Brother."
