However, she thought for a bit, and in the end, pointed at the Cui Hua at the door and said to Cousin: "Then, tomorrow morning I'll make Cui Hua wait for Cousin at the side door. After Cousin goes over, he still has to go pay respects to Granny, and then go to our Shihuan Courtyard."

Dong Shu was afraid that the Cousin did not understand the rules, so she tried to remind him in such a way.

Dong Lei also did not expect that after just a month of not seeing his, his cousin had already learnt how to speak like that.

Raising his head to glance at Xu Shiqiu, who was standing next to his cousin, Dong Lei clearly knew in his heart that all of this was probably the work of this Third Young Master.

At the same time, Dong Lei was also thinking in his heart that the days of the Xu Family might not be so easy to pass.

Xu Shiqiu also understood Dong Shu's hint, but he agreed with Young Girl saying all these.

He did not care about this, nor did he treat the Dong Clan as the home of the Young Girl's parents. However, in his mother's eyes, the Dong Clan was the home of the Young Girl's parents.

Tomorrow is the first time someone from Young Girl's family comes to visit, so naturally I need to pay attention to this.

Because he thought about these things, Xu Shiqiu did not say much.

Seeing that Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were really not willing to stay, Dong Lei did not force them to stay, and continued to use her walking stick to send them out of the house.

Dong Lei had just seen Dong Shu and her sister to the door when he heard a piece of news from the field. The big uncle of the Dong Clan, as well as Madame Dai and Dong Miao who had rushed back, came out.

Other than the Dong Clan's people, Dong Shu could also see the neighbor Liu Er peeking her head in their direction from the corner of her eyes.

Upon seeing Liu Er, Dong Shu subconsciously moved closer to Xu Shiqiu's side.

Sensing the Young Girl's actions, Xu Shiqiu also quickly realised that the head that was just retracted from the neighboring yard.

The look in Xu Shiqiu's eyes that looked at the neighboring courtyard only lasted for an instant. At this time, he retracted his gaze, looked at Dong Shu, and used his eyes to ask her if she still wanted to stop to talk.

Sensing Master's questioning gaze, Dong Shu slightly paused, then looked towards Uncle, Aunt and her older cousin and nodded.

Dong Shu also didn't plan to speak to his uncle and the others. After nodding her head, she greeted the others, then looked towards Cousin behind him. "Tomorrow morning, you will go. You will stay at my place for lunch. I'm afraid you will only be back in the afternoon." After saying that, without caring about his cousin's envious gaze, Dong Shu directly grabbed Xu Shiqiu's arm and prepared to leave.

After Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, he did not say anything and directly brought her to the Dong Clan entrance.

After Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu left, Cui Hua naturally followed suit with quick steps.

Seeing that they had left just like that, Madame Dai was just about to curse at Dong Shu, "Ingrate!" when she saw Dong Lei shake his head at her: "Mother, Shu'er and Third Young Master were looking for me just now." After saying that, Dong Lei immediately turned and walked into the courtyard using the walking stick, and said: "Come in, I'll tell you."

Hearing Dong Lei's words, the Madame Dai immediately suppressed her words and followed him into the courtyard.

The Dong Clan Uncle did not understand what had happened. He subconsciously looked at Dong Miao, who was beside him, and saw that he was frowning too.

Actually, Dong Miao was more envious of Dong Shu now, and there was even a bold idea in her heart.

If her mother had sold her to Xu Family back then, then would she be the one to wear such a beautiful dress and bring a servant out?

Dong Miao didn't say anything about this thought, but it only occurred to him for a moment.

However, the scene of Dong Shu wearing a set of beautiful clothes that she had never seen before was still deeply engraved in her mind.

Just as Dong Lei sat down in the living room, Dong Zhen who was hiding in the room also came out with a bag of pastries that he had eaten.

Looking at the bag of dim sum on the table and the bag in his youngest son's hand, Madame Dai finally could not hold back and said: "When you go back to your mother's house, you still have the nerve to bring two bags of dim sum! There's so much silver in the Xu Family, but you're actually unwilling to even cut off a little bit of flesh. "

Madame Dai's voice was not soft, as though she was purposely saying it to Dong Shu, who had just left.

At least, Liu Er who was lying on the wall and eavesdropping could hear what Madame Dai was saying clearly.

Hearing his mother's words, Dong Lei first sighed, then looked at his mother with slight agitation: "Mother, please don't be like this. Today, Shu'er and Third Young Master came to find me because they had arranged a job for me.

If I do this job well, then our family won't do anything like selling off our nieces for twenty taels of silver in the future.

"When I go and do my work, Miao Er's dowry and the silver from my own marriage will be earned, and I will even be able to send my little brother to study."

Just as Dong Lei finished speaking, the first one who spoke out in shock was the old uncle of the Dong Clan who was quiet.

Dong Da Hong looked at Dong Lei in shock. Seeing that he was serious, he nervously swallowed his saliva and asked for confirmation: "Lei'er, is what you said true?"

When he heard Dong Da Hong speak, the Madame Dai hurriedly asked, "That girl, Shu'er, you really know how to help your mother?"

The Madame Dai's voice was not soft, Liu Er, who was hiding in her courtyard, immediately wanted to listen more clearly after hearing the voice.

But at this time, Dong Lei had already taken a step ahead of her and softly warned his mother, "Mother, your voice is also a bit softer. You can't talk about this outside. What if someone is jealous of my work?

As for getting Shu'er to help you with your mother's affairs, you should also speak less of it in the future.

As long as we don't cause trouble for Shu'er and allow her to live a peaceful life with the Third Young Master, there will definitely be plenty of benefits in the future. "

It had to be said that Dong Lei understood his mother's thoughts very well. When he said this, Madame Dai immediately pinched half of her throat, and asked him: "What kind of job did Shu'er arrange for you as her husband?"

As Madame Dai's voice fell, Dong Miao also looked at her brother in anticipation.

Dong Miao knew clearly in her heart that if she wanted to marry a good family, she could only rely on her big brother to stand up for him.

Otherwise, based on her mother's intentions from a few days ago, she would probably give her a random marriage at the end of this year so that she could exchange the money for her brother's marriage.

The thought of exchanging blows with Dong Shu popped up in her heart just now, was also suppressed by her.

Dong Miao was not stupid. She knew that marrying Xu Shiqiu was already impossible, and the only thing she could hope for was for her brother to become a good wife.

Dong Zhen stared at his big brother without blinking. Just now, he heard his big brother say that he was going to be sent to school to read.

To him, this was an extremely novel event. He was really looking forward to the day where he could also go to the academy and show off to his friends.

Seeing that the whole family was looking at him in anticipation, Dong Lei immediately smiled and said: "Yes, Manager. However, the first thing he had to do was to go to the Xu Family to learn how to read and calculate from the Third Young Master.

When my legs are ready, Third Young Master will arrange for me to follow the other stewards of Xu Family to learn how to become a qualified steward.

It will take about three months. Once the county's stores are empty and have been renovated, I can go and work as a manager. "

As soon as Dong Lei finished his sentence, no one spoke up in the hall of the Dong Clan.

Everyone in the Dong Clan, including the Madame Dai, thought that Dong Lei would at most go to the Xu Family store to be a shop assistant.

They had never thought that Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu would actually want Dong Shu to be the manager.

A steward was worth at least one tael of silver a month!

Seeing his parents and siblings were shocked, Dong Lei was actually not too calm at all.

Before today, he had indeed thought about the position of manager.

But he had a nagging feeling that even if he was to continue working as a waiter in the restaurant, he would have to be at least 30 years old to become a manager.

But now, as long as he studied hard, he could become a supervisor this year.

And all of this was because his cousin had married a good family.

As Dong Lei had revealed this matter, no one spoke in the Dong Clan Hall. Liu Er who was hiding on the wall and eavesdropping could not hear anything, so she could only leave hatefully and change her mind to prepare something to eat. She would coax Dong Zhen to tell her tomorrow.

However, what she did not know was that after Dong Lei finished saying all of this, he especially warned his entire family that this matter must not be leaked out until he had become a manager.

What if someone was jealous of him and stole it?

Dong Lei understood that there was almost no possibility of that happening, but in order to scare his family, he had said it very seriously.

After hearing his words, the entire family, including the Madame Dai, who wanted to show off, gave up on the idea of showing off their own younger cousin to him.

She knew, however, that the last time Dong Shu had returned, her cousin Madame Dai had especially tried to get close to her.

His cousin also had a son at home, but he was two years younger than Lei'er, so he was still able to go out and work.

She must hold it in, and not let her cousin find Dong Shu to steal her job.

All of Madame Dai's thoughts were on her face. When Dong Lei saw that his mother had really put away her intention to show off, he turned to look at Dong Zhen and exhorted him.

"Be a bit more obedient these few days. After Big Bro has gone to the county to be a manager, I'll send you to the academy to study. In the future, I'll also bring you good food whenever I come back."

However, you must not tell anyone about this. Wait until Big Bro gets a foothold in the county before you can tell anyone else.

Dong Lei was afraid that his mother and brother would flaunt this matter. His mother couldn't help but want to flaunt it, while his brother would also flaunt it to his friends.

As for his father being able to hide the truth, and his sister being smart, she would definitely understand what he meant.

Just as the Dong Clan and their family were discussing about this, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu also started to slowly walk towards the Xu Family.

Because they weren't in a hurry, the two continued to admire the scenery on the road. When they saw the beautiful flowers, Xu Shiqiu even stopped to ask Dong Shu if he wanted to take them off for her to wear.

Dong Shu naturally wasn't willing to allow Xu Shiqiu to hairpin him with flowers. The two of them joked around as they walked back to the Shihuan Courtyard, when they saw several flower buds growing on the pomegranate tree that Xu Shiqiu had previously plucked.

Seeing those flower buds hidden in the leaves, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were both stunned.

After staring at the flower bud for a while, the two of them suddenly looked at each other as if they had reached a mutual understanding. Then, they revealed sincere smiles.

The happiest thing in life was to have your beloved by your side, accompanying you and waiting for the flowers to bloom.
