Chapter 24
Chapter 24: Convention
Chapter 24 The Covenant
“In those years, Dalang’s grandparents didn’t like to see me, and always said that Dalang’s father was my death, so he scolded him. I was caught and beaten by Erlang several times on the way, and once his head was broken, and now there is a small scar in his hair.”
“Dalang and I are both rushing to do things at home, just because they say that no one is working, so Saburo will not be allowed to study.”
“Dalang was still a child, so he had to do heavy work. The root cause of his illness could not be said to have come down at that time.”
“Later, Saburo was very good, and he was valued by the head of the county academy, and asked him to go to the county to study. For the sake of the study, he made a lot of trouble. In the end, I became my own jewelry and gave Saburo a bunch of repairs. .”
“It wasn’t until the second year that Saburo won the first place in the academy examination. The old man heard about it and felt that Saburo would have a future in the future, so he gave money to Saburo to study.”
“Hehe, they are willing to pay, they are just waiting for Saburo to become an official so that they can get his light!”
“Don’t look at how hard I talk at home now, it all started after Saburo passed the Xiucai exam the year before last.”
“Why do you think I’m ashamed today, it’s not because Saburo didn’t take the exam this time. They didn’t dare to get mad at Saburo, and they were all mad at me.”
Gu Yunjiao sat down beside Chen Shi, handed her a handkerchief, and said softly, “Mother is tired.”
Mrs. Chen took the veil to dry her tears, and laughed at herself, “What do I say this?”
“Now Saburo is big and prosperous, and life is getting better, but I have pity on my Dalang.”
She grabbed Gu Yunjiao’s hand, “At that time, the doctors in the county and Dr. Xu in the town said that they were not good at Dalang’s illness, and also said that if your father was still alive, Dalang might be saved by your father’s medical skills. .”
“Your father—your father disappeared without a trace—my great man—” Chen Shi burst into tears.
Jiang Youzhi stood at the base of the window, his eyes were lowered, and his eyes were slightly moist.
Mother and eldest brother have given him a lot, and he will never repay their kindness in his life.
Gu Yunjiao comforted Chen shi softly and carefully wiped her tears. When she finished crying, Gu Yunjiao went out and planned to get some hot water to wash Chen shi’s face.
As soon as she went out, she saw Jiang Youzhi outside, her eyes seemed a little red, she looked at him, Jiang Youzhi turned his face and walked quickly.
Gu Yunjiao poured hot water over to wash Chen’s face.
Chen shi finished packing herself, pulled Gu Yunjiao to sit down, and patted her hand, “You are good, but my boss is not lucky.”
“Actually, I already thought about it, but I haven’t told you yet.”
“You are still young, and the days to come are still very long. It would be too hard for you to stay with Dalang for a lifetime.”
“I’m thinking of you giving Dalang a festival for three years, and then setting you free, what do you think?”
She lost her own husband, so she naturally knew how difficult it was for a widow, and she didn’t want to embarrass Gu Yunjiao.
Gu Yunjiao trembled slightly, three years?
Three years was a bit long for her, but she wasn’t in a hurry to get married, mainly because the Jiang family was not easy to get along with.
Not to mention that there is also Jiang Erlang who is eyeing him.
It’s just that since Mrs. Chen said so, she can’t refute it. After all, Mrs. Chen wants her to keep the festivals for a lifetime, and she should also deserve her share in this era.
Besides, she is also very grateful that the Chen shi protects her like this.
Let’s repay Chen’s maintenance.
Gu Yunjiao nodded, “Okay, I’ll listen to my mother.”
