Thinking up to here, Xu Shiqiu stopped his preparations to leave, glanced at the Madame Dai who had not moved yet, and said: "Cousin is staying for the guest, we should have stayed.

It was only this morning that his wife was unwell. After the family doctor had examined her pulse, he actually said that her wife had suffered too many sins since childhood and needed a good rest as well as a good rest.

By the time we left the house, preparations had already started. This time, when we returned, we would be able to eat. After lunch, your wife can also rest for a while. "

Xu Shiqiu's words were neither rushed nor slow, and the tone of his voice was extremely normal, but Dong Lei, who was listening to him felt his face burning in panic.

He understood what Xu Shiqiu meant. He was blaming the Dong Clan for treating Dong Shu poorly.

Shu'er's health was not good, so it was naturally they who had not taken care of her!

He originally wanted to keep the guest here, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.

After he pondered for a moment in his heart, he said to the Madame Dai who was still unwilling to cook: "Since Third Young Master Shu'er is not eating at home, then mother will let Shu'er have that little rooster back. That little rooster nourishes the body the most, and Shu'er likes to eat it too. "

After saying this to his mother, Dong Lei then looked somewhat embarrassedly at Xu Shiqiu and said, "When Shu'er got married the other day, your family sent over four pieces of muslin as well as two sets of silver jewelry.

Shu'er brought along two pieces of muslin and a set of silver jewelry and left. This time, we still have two pieces of muslin and a set of silver jewelry at home.

As he spoke till here, Dong Lei's face looked even more ashamed. He truly did not think that not only would his mother ask for twenty silver coins from Xu Family in an extravagant manner, she had even deducted half of Dong Shu's dowry.

When Xu Family sent the things over, he had made it very clear that his cousin's parents had passed away early.

But his mother had secretly taken half of it.

Dong Lei also understood that his mother did it for him and his sister.

However, the twenty taels of silver given by the Xu Family was enough for the servants of the rich families in the town to pay about ten taels of silver each.

He only had a broken leg and would be able to recover in three months.

The silver for marriage, as well as his sister's dowry, he could earn them with his own hands!

Xu Shiqiu never thought that Dong Lei would actually take the initiative to mention these things before he even had the chance to speak of them.

He carefully sized Dong Lei up. Seeing that the Madame Dai was forced by the look in Dong Lei's eyes to bring the rooster over, he couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Cousin doesn't need to be like this.

Xu Shiqiu was not willing to take the Dong Clan's little rooster, but after hearing his words, Dong Lei supported himself with a wooden stick and dragged his broken leg forward a few steps. After almost falling down, he finally arrived in front of Dong Shu.

After snatching the little rooster from his mother's hands and stuffing it into Dong Shu's hands, Dong Lei said, "Shu'er, you've married a good husband. An Xin and the Third Young Master will be living together. Once the Cousin's legs are healed, I will go earn some money to make up for your dowry! " These words, Dong Lei's words were filled with energy.

Of course, this was also what he meant from the bottom of his heart.

Dong Shu had not spoken a word since Cousin had spoken. Only when Dong Lei had her father bring out the muslin and jewelry that his mother had hidden and put them in her hands did she slowly nod her head.

Thinking about how Cousin had once secretly stuffed his with malt candy and pancakes, she blinked his eyes at him and said: "Then Cousin you should rest more as well. Rest early and come visit me when you have time to rest your legs."

After saying that, Dong Shu turned to Xu Shiqiu and said, "Hubby, let's go."

Seeing that Young Girl's expression was slightly sad, Xu Shiqiu decided to quickly bring him back.

He had originally intended to interrogate the Dong Clan, but after seeing how upset Young Girl was and how understanding he was, he decided to wait and see.

In the future, if everyone in the Dong Clan acted as did, he would only treat this family as ordinary relatives for the sake of the Young Girl.

But if this Young Girl dared to bully him again, he would settle old and new debts together!

Dong Shu didn't know what her master was thinking, but she wanted to quickly return home so that she could properly rest and prevent him from worrying again.

However, at this moment, the sound of the Dong Clan's quarrel came from behind the two of them.

"The things that I mentioned about Xu Family are all for you and your sister, but you actually gave them back just like that!"

Obviously, Madame Dai was talking to her eldest son, Dong Lei.

"I understand Mother's thoughts, but the silver that I received from Xu Family is already enough for me to look at my legs, so those things should belong to Shu'er.

I want to get married and I'll make it myself. My big brother will also earn Miao Er's dowry.

But mother, you should not be ignorant about the things that the Xu Family has sent over!

Since Shu'er has married into the Xu Family, she is already a lowly person, yet you still have an inkling of her dowry.

A woman's dowry is her confidence! "

After Dong Lei finished speaking, Uncle Dong Shu's persuasive voice came from the courtyard.

The noise in the Dong Clan Residence was not quiet. Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu could still hear them after they had walked for more than ten steps.

Dong Shu felt awkward, and felt slightly embarrassed to talk to her husband.

However, Xu Shiqiu felt that his idea just now was wrong.

Originally, he pitied Young Girl and wanted to ask about helping him vent his anger.

However, seeing the Young Girl acting in such an awkward manner, he decided to give the Dong Clan another chance.

However, when he heard Young Girl's aunt's words again, he wanted to turn back, but was worried that doing so would cause Young Girl to look even more embarrassed.

Regardless of the Dong Clan, he was still worried about Young Girl.

After thinking about it, Xu Shiqiu suddenly revealed a doting smile towards Dong Shu, and said: "My wife, your Cousin is quite a nice person."

Hearing her husband talk about the Cousin, Dong Shu's mood immediately became better.

"The people of Cousin are really nice, when I first came to uncle's house, he often hid half a cake for me to eat. If I occasionally eat meat at home, he'll secretly leave a piece for me.

After that, when Cousin went to work at the restaurant in town, he would often secretly bring me food. He even gave me a copper coin and told me to buy some malt candy. "

When Dong Shu talked about Cousin, she could not hide the smile in her eyes. Maybe she remembered the scene where she ate the food that Cousin brought back for him, making him look like a little squirrel.

Seeing Young Girl laughing, Xu Shiqiu heaved a sigh of relief.

But he really did not think that Dong Lei would actually take care of his own Young Girl.

Since that was the case, he would be able to help him when his broken leg was healed.

Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking in his heart. After saying a few words, her mood became better again.

Seeing this Young Girl, Xu Shiqiu was also in a good mood as he said: "I have yet to eat food made by my wife. This little rooster was raised by my wife before, I wonder how it tastes like?"

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu hurriedly said to Xu Shiqiu proudly, "Of course it's the most delicious. After we get home, I'll cook it for my husband to eat. The chicken I raise is the most delicious! "

With that, Dong Shu walked towards the Xu Family.

Seeing that his wife had forgotten about the Dong Clan so quickly, Xu Shiqiu could not help but shake his head with a doting smile.

His Young Girl seemed to like learning from other people since he had not met many people previously. Moreover, with his carefree and silly personality, he had to take good care of them.

Otherwise, he would definitely be bullied by others.

After understanding all of these, Xu Shiqiu started to follow Dong Shu's footsteps and return home.

Along the way back to the Xu Family, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu didn't stop to chat with the villagers, because the two of them wanted to return quickly.

They did not know that when the villagers of Xiahe Village saw them bringing so many things back to the Xu Family, they discussed for a few days before gradually deciding not to discuss this matter.

The villagers were jealous that Dong Shu had married a good person. Her life in Xu Family was simply too luxurious.

However, there were also some villagers who had come into contact with Xu Shiqiu before, who came forward and said that they had met with an accident while encountering Xu Shiqiu.

The number of people envious of Dong Shu naturally decreased by a lot when compared to the number of people in the two rooms.

When they thought about how Dong Shu had always been standing by Xu Shiqiu's side and how nothing had happened, they started to wonder what exactly happened.

Why is Dong Shu completely fine?

Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu naturally did not know about these things.

Because of what the Doctor Du said that day, after the Dong Clan returned, Dong Shu went to sleep and eat until she was full.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed. Dong Shu, who had noticed that her clothes had become tighter, finally mustered up the courage to say something to Xu Shiqiu that he wanted to do.

"Master, today I saw that all the welcoming flowers in the courtyard were fully bloomed. It can be seen that spring has really arrived.

I had nothing to do at home all day, so I wondered if I could open a vegetable patch in the yard and raise a few chickens. "

If it was at the time of their marriage, Dong Shu would definitely not have the guts to say these kinds of words to Xu Shiqiu.

But after this half a month of interaction, due to Xu Shiqiu's pampering, Dong Shu's guts had already increased by a lot compared to before. He at least already had the guts to make a request of Xu Shiqiu.

Xu Shiqiu was just about to take off his clothes to sleep, but after hearing Young Girl's words, he stopped his movements, turned around and looked at her thoughtfully, then replied: "I probably won't be able to open a vegetable patch for you. If you want to raise chickens, I'll get the kitchen to send a few chicks over for you to raise."

In Xu Shiqiu's opinion, gardening still needed water everyday and fertilization from time to time. It was too tiring.

Unlike raising chickens, it only fed them once a day. Normally, they would only be raised in the yard.

Dong Shu was both sad and happy when she heard Xu Shiqiu's words.

The sad ones were naturally not being able to grow vegetables, and the happy ones were at least being able to raise chickens.

Keep a few chickens, and they'll have eggs to eat every day.

Even though her life was good today, Dong Shu still liked the feeling of reaping rewards from raising chickens.

"Then, hubby, can you get the kitchen to send a few chickens tomorrow?" It would be better if there was a hen, with the hen, and the chicks would be easier to live on. "

Dong Shu was really bored.

In half a month, she had finished making two sets of clothes for herself and her husband.

She had originally wanted to make two more, but her husband pitied her and directly called for the embroidery lady in the shop in the town to order ten different dresses for her.

Besides the dress, the matching purse, handkerchief and jewelry were all custom-made for him. They would be delivered in half a month.

Currently, she only needed to cook one meal a day at noon, and then in the afternoon, she would learn a few words from her husband. She had nothing else to do.

It was truly rather boring.

Xu Shiqiu also saw that the Young Girl was bored. Seeing the sad look on his face, he suddenly thought of a person.
