Chapter 638 Together They Were Kicked Out
Du Mingxian reached out and pressed down her trembling index finger. "I came to see my father."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Du hesitated for a moment before saying somewhat awkwardly, "Your father doesn't live at home. If you want to find him, go to the thatched hut left behind by the lame hunter at the foot of the mountain after he died."
In a flash, Du Mingxian could guess what was happening. In her previous life, Widow Chen had given birth to a boy, and in this life, he would definitely have a boy as well.
The father, who had spent half his life ashamed of not having a son, must have been overjoyed after Widow Chen gave birth to a son.
In the past, he would give all the good things to his nephew, but now he always saves the good things for his son, while the rest of the Du family have become accustomed to his generosity.
If the other party suddenly stops contributing and is even trying to gain resources from the family, you can easily guess what's going to happen.
"You kicked my father out?"
“If we don’t kick him out, he’ll steal everything from this house.”
Good for stealing!
Du Mingxian was secretly delighted, but she still criticized him, "No matter what, you can't just kick my father out. It's so unfair to him. Besides, my father is a member of this family. If he takes something from the family, he's just taking his own. How can you use the word 'steal' to describe your own family?"
"Grandma, I know you've always been biased, but you can't be so biased. My dad works so hard in this family, he does so many things, and you still kick him out for such a small thing."
"Grandma, if my dad didn't look like my grandpa, I would have suspected that you adopted him. We are both sons, but my uncle and my dad are treated very differently in the Du family."
When the villagers saw Du Mingxian and Ling Silang heading towards the Du family, some guessed it was Du Mingxian and hurriedly went to inform Du Youtian. When Du Youtian heard that his daughter had returned, he went to the old house and ran all the way to the gate of the old house without delay, just as he heard what his daughter was saying.
For the first time, an emotion called being moved fermented in Du Youtian's heart; it was sour, swollen, and his eyes even felt hot.
This is Du Youtian's daughter, how lovely.
"You're talking nonsense!" Old Mrs. Du was so angry that she immediately started cursing.
Du Mingxian didn't mince words and retorted directly, "Grandma, you're being so inconsiderate. No matter what, you can't just talk nonsense with your mouth. Do you eat with your other eye?"
"You...you..." Old Mrs. Du angrily clutched her chest, as if she was about to faint at any moment.
"Grandma, I'm going to find my dad. I'm going to ask him what happened. You owe my dad something, and I'm going to get it back for him. We can't just let it go like this."
Old Mrs. Du immediately started cursing, "What do you know...? Your father stole so many things from the house, I'm being lenient by not killing him, I just kicked him out, and you're still not happy? You little bitch, get out of here, get out of here."
At this moment, Old Lady Du didn't care whether Ling Silang was a scholar or not. She just wanted to kick Du Mingxian out of the house because she was so infuriating.
"Grandma, please don't say anything. Even if you don't let me leave, I have to leave now. I've only been in here for a short while, and I'm already suffocating. It stinks so badly, how can it smell so bad?"
After Du Mingxian finished speaking, she fanned herself with her hand and said, "Grandma, you're too old to do it, so let your uncle and aunt do it, and your cousin can also help. Don't feel sorry for them."
"Look at this stench! What's the difference between this and living in a pigsty? Those are animals! How can people live with animals? It's a sin."
Grandma Du rolled her eyes in anger. Only then did Du Mingxian realize with surprise that the old lady, who used to be full of energy and could scold people all day without breaking a sweat, had aged so much.
In one of her rare moments of conscience, Du Mingxian reached out to support Old Lady Du, saying, "Grandma, please don't fall down. My cousin isn't married yet, and you haven't even held your great-grandson. You can't just leave like this."
Grandma Du was quite stubborn; when she was on the verge of fainting, she stubbornly held on and didn't forget to yell, "Shut up."
"Grandma, I didn't want to say it, but it was so smelly that I only said a few words." Du Mingxian released Du Laotai as she spoke, her face full of disgust. "Grandma, you smell so bad. I thought I had just touched a pile of poop."
"Get out! Get out of my house!" Old Mrs. Du finally snapped, unable to bear it any longer.
Just then, Du Youtian, who had been listening at the door, walked in and said, "Mingxian, let's go. We can't stay here. It stinks."
He hadn't noticed it before, but now that his daughter brought it up, he realized the yard smelled terrible.
Du Mingxian was also quite angry with Old Madam Du. When she saw Du Youtian come in, she followed him out, but she didn't stop talking. "Dad, you are really a coward. You were kicked out like this and you don't even have a house. You have to live in the dilapidated thatched hut left by the hunters."
"You thought you were the most filial son, treating your cousin better than your own father would treat his son, and that you were counting on your cousin to take care of you in your old age. How did you end up like this? Your cousin didn't even stand up for you."
Du Youtian recalled the scene when he was kicked out, when his nephew was the most vocal. Thinking back to how he had always given his nephew all the good things, he was filled with regret.
"let's go."
"What's wrong? Are you afraid to face the other party's true colors? Dad, you're a man. You need to face your failures and correct them in time."
“Let me tell you, your cousin used to spend so much of your money, so you should have made him take care of you in your old age. Why shouldn’t he take care of you? Back then, the whole family said that your cousin would take care of you in your old age.”
"You've spent so much money before, you can't let it go to waste, right?"
Seeing that Du Youtian hadn't said a word after all she'd said, Du Mingxian thought for a moment and then tried something drastic: "Father, even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your young son, shouldn't you?"
"He's still so young. When he's twenty and needs help getting married and having children, Dad... you'll probably be an old man by then, maybe even dead. How pitiful your youngest son will be!"
"Others have parents who love and protect them, and prepare all sorts of things for them, but your son has nothing. It's sad to think about it."
Du Youtian fell into deep thought, feeling that what Du Mingxian said was absolutely right and made a lot of sense.
Du Mingxian continued, "Now that you've managed to get a copper coin from the old house, you can leave it for your younger brother to get married. If he marries a beautiful woman, won't you feel proud?"
"Besides, your grandparents have a lot of good things. If you don't try to get them, your uncle will take them all. You'll regret it then."
Upon hearing this, Du Youtian perked up. "Don't worry, I will definitely try again and make sure all the good things don't end up in your uncle's hands."
Du Mingxian looked disgusted and stopped walking. After looking her up and down, she asked uncertainly, "Dad, what you said is wrong, isn't it? If you could really get something, you wouldn't have been kicked out of the house like this."
"you……"
Seeing that Du Youtian was about to get angry, Du Mingxian shrugged. "My dear father, I'm telling you the truth." Then she pointed to the tightly closed gate of the Du family home. "Father, look, when we were alive, the gate was never kept so tightly closed. It was never always closed."
“It’s broad daylight now, and my grandma closed the door so nervously. There must be something good in the house that she was afraid you would take away, that’s why she did that.”
“Dad, you know that Grandma has always favored Uncle’s family. You used to complain that Mom didn’t give birth to a son, and you always thought that Grandpa and Grandma’s favoritism was because Mom didn’t give birth to a son.”
"But now that Widow Chen has given you a son, what is my grandparents' attitude? Isn't it worse than before? They even say the child isn't yours?"
Du Youtian looked up in surprise, "How did you know?"
"Of course I know, because your grandparents don't like you as their son at all, and it has nothing to do with whether you have a son or not. But you don't believe what I said before, and you don't even like me as your daughter."
"I remember when we got married, you didn't give me any dowry money, but you secretly slipped some silver to my cousin. So, how about it? Has my cousin been filial to you, her second uncle?"
"I heard that my cousin is doing quite well now, and she must be very good to you, her second uncle. We're both girls, so why would Dad favor someone else's daughter?"
