Chapter 27: Sisterly Love, Sorrow and Joy!



Half an hour later, everyone in the room with the TV on suddenly left. Arui asked Aduo why everyone had suddenly stopped watching TV.

Ado said, "Sister, it's not that they've stopped watching, it's just that it's their turn to patrol."

"Patrol? What do you mean?"

"You'll understand why once you stay a few more days!"

A'duo ran off to find Mu Chen with a smile, only to find that her brother was nowhere to be found. Just then, Uncle A'dong from Black Crow Village came over and said, "A'duo, your brother and the others will be in the orchard tonight. You should go to sleep early and lock the door."

"Is my brother sleeping in the orchard tonight?"

"Okay! You guys play for a while and then go to sleep! Uncle is going to the village entrance to relieve the others."

"Uncle Adong, take care."

When Ado closed the door, she saw that Arui looked puzzled. She immediately said, "After this house was built, the brothers rarely slept here at night. They often slept in the orchard. There are many things to do in the orchard."

"Sister, close your door. I'll take you upstairs after I finish sweeping the floor."

"I'll sweep."

After sweeping the floor, Arui wanted to turn off the light next to her, but Aduo quickly stopped her, saying, "You can't turn this off. It has to stay on until dawn tomorrow, otherwise my brother and the others won't be able to see the road."

Being in this environment, Arui felt like she was in a dream.

Now that no one was around, she looked left and right, becoming more and more alarmed.

"Aduo, we even installed a telephone at home!"

"My brother needs it, but he mostly calls the Holy Maiden!"

After finishing what she was doing, Duoduo took Arui to the back.

“This is the first floor. There’s another floor and a half below. I use it to store farm tools and other things, and I also raise a flock of chickens, ducks and geese. I wanted to raise piglets, but my brother didn’t agree.”

"The cooking area is next to this place, and the toilets are across from here. They're separated for men and women, so please don't go to the wrong one."

We arrived at the second floor.

"The left and middle rooms are empty. I sleep in the room on the right, and the room in front of me is also mine."

“My brother’s room is on the third floor. I’ve kept it clean and tidy, but he’s never slept there.”

Hearing this, Arui, who was already astonished, asked, "Why? Doesn't the prince like it?"

"I don't know, but I heard from the old ladies that the young master might wait for the Holy Maiden Sister to return before going there. The third floor is very beautiful."

Next, Duoduo took Arui to the rooftop.

Afterwards, when they arrived at the washroom, Arui looked at these strange new gadgets and didn't know how to use them. In the end, it was Aduo who taught her.

"Sister, I've kept the instruction manuals for these things. I'll find them for you tomorrow, and you'll know how to use them after you read them."

Moving into the room, the two sisters, who hadn't been together for a long time, naturally had a lot to talk about.

On the wooden bed, Arui gazed at the carvings above the headboard, surveyed everything in the room, and sighed, "It all feels like a dream."

"Me too."

Duoduo suddenly got out of bed, took out the bag that Mu Chen had bought for her in the provincial capital from the drawer next to her, and pulled out a stack of money from it with a grin, which startled Arui.

"Aduo, how do you have so much money?"

"It was given to me by my brother, sister, guess how much it was?"

There were more than a dozen 100-yuan notes, more than twenty 50-yuan notes, and a whole bunch of ten-yuan and five-yuan notes.

"More than three thousand?"

"Four thousand and several tens of dollars!"

Glug...

Arui swallowed hard; her family didn't even have a thousand yuan in total, yet Duoduo had so much.

"Do you, Duoduo, manage all of my brother's money?"

“These are all pocket money given to me by my brother. He would give me them every time he took me to the county town or town before the Lunar New Year. I have saved most of them.”

"So the prince is just going to ignore it?"

“My brother is very busy every day. He is so busy that he forgets to eat. Sometimes he eats a lot and sometimes he goes hungry. In the past two months, he has been busy at night many times and has no time to deal with these things.”

"When the prince needed money, he never asked you for it?"

Duoduo smiled and said, "This is my allowance, the money for household expenses. My brother keeps it in a place that only I know about, but I haven't gone to get it in a long time, so I don't know how much is in there. Do you want to see it, sister?"

"No! Since only you know, you can't let anyone else know."

"Even if someone else knows, they can't take it away. There are several layers of passwords inside, and it can't be opened without the passwords."

"So novel?"

Duoduo nodded. She didn't take Arui to see it either, because her brother had instructed her not to let others know about these things.

However, she divided her allowance equally, saying, "Here, we'll each have half."

"No, Ado, I can't have her."

"Take it."

"We really can't accept this."

"Sister, I'm angry."

"Well... then I'll just take ten yuan."

"I don't care, I've put it in your pocket."

Duoduo picked up Arui's clothes, looked at them again and again, and then said, "Brother came back from the provincial capital today and brought me a lot of fabric. They're all very nice. You can cut them up tomorrow and make a new outfit."

"Okay, I'll make it for you."

"It's for you! My brother always buys them when he goes out, and I already have a lot."

When Arui heard this, she completely broke down, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She wiped it away quietly.

"Duoduo, aren't you going to sleep yet? It's already midnight!" Suddenly, Mu Chen's voice came from the orchard.

Duoduo hurriedly turned off the light.

Arui was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe. After what happened today, she was really afraid that her brother would get angry.

"Isn't Brother in the orchard? He can see where we are." Arui asked softly.
