MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 301 domestic abuser

"how come?"

"Who knows, but... when I was still in the Duke's Mansion, I heard something. I don't know if it is true or not. It is just the gossip of the elders, and it is not easy to spread it."

 Sanlang’s wife is good at selling things out, and Du Jingyi is happy to cooperate.

“Good sister-in-law, please don’t hide a few words from me.”

 “I say it is, I say it is.”

Then he glanced at Cherry and saw that she lowered her head as if she was absent-minded, so Sanlang's wife spoke.

“Second aunt seems to be beaten by second uncle all the time, and the beatings are not light.”

Being reminded by her, Du Jingyi suddenly remembered the scene when their five-bedroom family members came to Dongyuan to make trouble for Shang Qiniang's marriage.

She had seen bruises on Mr. Guo's hands, but she didn't expect them to appear like this at the time, and now she frowned a little.

"Hitting someone? Can this second uncle really do it? If he attacks a woman in the back house, wouldn't it be a joke if word spreads about it?"

Hearing this, Sanlang's wife said nothing.

Although she is not used to such behavior, she has developed the habit of protecting herself wisely over the years. The second uncle's family in the fifth house has no direct conflict with her, so she will not make random comments when she passes on the message. .

Seeing Du Jingyi's face looking a little worried, Sanlang's wife also said with relief.

“Not every woman can find a good husband when she gets married. Those like my second aunt who don’t have a son will have a harder time living in the back house.”

These words reminded Du Jingyi of his mother.

Although his father loved the three of them, mother and daughter, like jewels, he couldn't bear the gossip from outsiders. After all these years, they had given birth to children, and there were still people outside saying that the Du family was going to die, so Du Jingyi suddenly I felt a little pity for the submissive Mr. Guo.

 Sighed and said.

"Since I'm sick, I'd better let someone come and see me someday. After all, it's a relative relationship, so I can't just ignore it."

No matter what, the couple did this kind of thing all the time.

Saburo's wife thought so in her heart, but she still said with a smile on her face.

"The young lady is still kind-hearted. If you don't mind, I can make this trip. When I lived in the Duke's Mansion, my second aunt and I were quite close. She was very fond of my children. They’re all excellent too.”

　　Although she lived a very poor life, she would cook food for the children from time to time. In this regard, Sanlang's daughter-in-law still remembered the kindness of her second aunt Guo.

Du Jingyi nodded, she also meant the same thing.

Sanlang's wife is as meticulous as dust. If she knew that there was something fishy about Shang Qiniang's affairs, she would probably investigate in secret. Then she would be able to leak out the matter of changing her name.

If you want to stab someone with this knife in the future, it’s good to have a helper.

After getting the answer he wanted, Du Jingyi didn't say anything in detail. He just chatted with Sanlang's wife for a long time about some trivial matters at home.

 Midway, Tai Geer woke up and looked for her mother. Sanlang's wife also saw Tai Geer again, but because Tai Geer had seen her less, he didn't know Sanlang's wife.

Saburo's wife wanted to hug her, but it was a pity that Brother Tai couldn't resist, so she didn't force her.

 After sitting for a while, he took the things Du Jingyi gave him and left. Sanlang's wife was filled with emotion when she saw that the carriages and horses were empty when they arrived, but full when they returned.

I always want to manage my life well and put more thought into the upbringing of my children.

She can't live like this, and neither can her children. If she gets some luck and can rise to the top, it will be her blessing.

So he said to the maid next to him.

“Divide the things when you get back. Don’t delay in giving them to those in the fifth house. If you find time, just give them to those in the past.”

 “Yes, ma’am.”

 Afterwards, Sanlang's wife closed her eyes and rested.

After she left, Du Jingyi called the spy left for her by her husband Shang Ji and gave instructions.

“Inquire about Wufang Guo’s situation and her mother’s family, the more detailed the better.”

"yes."

Although Du Jingyi sympathized with the Guo family's situation, it did not mean that she would be soft-hearted and let this opportunity go. Now that her daughter has entered the Min Palace, it seems that she will be on the side of the fourth prince.

 There is no mutual conspiracy, and maybe this matter will become a weapon for them to manipulate the Min Palace in the future, because from Du Jingyi's intuition, she can see that this Shang Qiniang is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

It's just because she is young and the situation at home is like this. Otherwise, if it were really discussed, it is not obvious that Shang Liuniang, who does not have a third wife, is very cruel.

Looking at Brother Tai's innocent smile, Du Jingyi was planning a lot of dark things in his heart.

　　Days pass by day by day, nothing new.

 Zuo is just growing up around Tai Geer, adding some surprises.

I don’t know if this child has a lot of supplementary food, so his body bones are extra strong. At just five months old, the child is already showing signs of wanting to crawl.

 It’s fun to move and kick a little.

The fourth aunt also said jokingly, like a bullfrog that has not yet learned to use its hands and feet. It wants to jump but can't jump well. Mrs. Gu clenched her fists and said she wanted to give the fourth aunt a beating to vent her anger on her great-grandson. .

Du Jingyi, who was next to him, also laughed and turned forward and backward. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that his fourth aunt's words were apt and reasonable!

 This day is already the end of September.

Mrs. Du came to the door happily and delivered the post personally.

"This year's harvest is good, so Tangtang's father said that he wanted to hold an autumn banquet. He said it was a banquet, but it couldn't compare with the aristocratic family's banquet. It was just farm produce. A simple preparation would be enough. The best thing about serving it is that it is fresh, so I specially sent a post. If you ladies have time, please go and have a look, just for fun."

 The Du family holds an autumn banquet, which has been a tradition for more than ten years.

 Generally, households celebrate the harvest of the year before the New Year Festival, but the Du family does the opposite. After the autumn feast, the whole winter is basically in a semi-idle state.

In the words of Mr. Du, people are like the land. Only when they rest in winter can good buds grow in spring. Therefore, being a tenant farmer of the Du family is very happy. Throughout the year, you can have two or three months of leisure. .

 Either go hunting, or make some handicrafts and go to the town to attend the market. In this way, you can save some money over the course of the year. You will also be more grateful to the Du family for their kindness, and you will naturally continue to work hard in the coming year.
