Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

Later, Lu Duocai went to Dahe Town alone to open a grocery store. Seeing that the business was booming, Du Wendong felt that the time was right.

His mother and his sister were very humble and always praised the original owner highly, not daring to show her any displeasure. Wasn't it just to make the Lu family willing to support his studies?

Du Wendong took the original owner to Dahe Town, and as soon as they met, he expressed his desire to study.

"Wendong is determined to work hard on the imperial examinations, and I really don't want my wife and I to suffer a lifetime of hardship. If father agrees to let me study, when Wendong becomes successful, I will definitely repay father's kindness to me!"

When Lu Duocai heard these words, he thought to himself, after getting married, they would be a family. If Du Wendong could really pass the imperial examination, it would be a great thing for his daughter, and even better for his grandchildren!

Therefore, Lu Duocai agreed directly without Du Wendong having to say much.

"Okay, since you have ambition, Dad will certainly support you! Dad is a good judge of people, and Wendong will definitely become a great man in the future!"

Du Wendong felt a little elated after hearing this.

After much deliberation, Du Wendong finally chose a private school with the most expensive tuition fee, which was ten taels of silver a year. This amount of money was enough for an ordinary family of three to live on for more than four years, so Du Wendong was a little nervous when he proposed it.

But Lu Duocai hesitated for only a moment before agreeing.

This touched Du Wendong somewhat. Although he intended to use the original owner, he was not completely without feelings for her.

If the original owner is willing to humble himself, take good care of the household, and serve his mother well, he will definitely repay her with all his heart after he becomes successful.

After entering the private school, Du Wendong devoted himself to studying hard and lighting lamp oil diligently, completely unaware that the original owner had suffered many grievances at home.

The original owner's grievances were all caused by Zhang Cuifen. She was unhappy that her son had a deep relationship with an outsider, and she tortured the original owner so much that she couldn't speak any words, and her heart and eyes were full of grievances.

But when the original owner saw Du Wendong's considerate side, it seemed that some of her grievances were miraculously resolved. Later, the original owner had a child, and her feelings for Du Wendong became even deeper.

But this is not the case with Du Wendong.

Because of the birth of this child, all the gratitude he had accumulated for the Lu family disappeared in an instant!

Because this child's surname is Lu!

Du Wendong had thought about suggesting to Lu Duocai that the child be given the surname Du, but every time he tried to probe, Lu Duocai's face would change drastically and he would firmly refuse.

Du Wendong had not yet achieved any fame at that time, and he still needed to study. It was not convenient for him to fall out with the Lu family, so he changed his words and said that he was just joking.

In the end, Lu Duocai named the child Lu Anyuan.

Du Wendong hid his anger very well in front of Lu Duocai, but when he returned to his home and saw the original owner and the child, he felt humiliated.

Du Wendong was unhappy, and Zhang Cuifen saw it and felt pain in her heart. She disliked the original owner even more, and gave him a lot of extra melons to eat, both openly and secretly. As for Du Xiaowan, of course, she followed her brother and mother in disliking the original owner.

Lu Yi paused when she saw this. She wanted to sigh, but couldn't. All the depression accumulated in her heart.

Lu Yi thought that as an outsider, she felt uncomfortable just by accepting the plot and seeing the original owner stuck in the quagmire.

Not to mention the original owner who experienced all of this personally.

Lu Yi calmed down and continued reading.

Du Wendong had something on his mind and couldn't concentrate on reading at all. He spent the whole day going out with his classmates and friends to relax, and paid even less attention to his books.

He was originally educated late, and only had the opportunity to go to a private school to acquire knowledge after he got married. This distraction naturally led to unsatisfactory results in the imperial examination.

The original owner was fine, she comforted Du Wendong and said it was okay, at worst he could just review his lessons and fight again next time, but Zhang Cuifen couldn't stand it!

She has always regarded her son as the most outstanding work of her life and is proud of him. How could he even be a Tongsheng... This is not right!

Du Wendong didn't dare to face his failure. He dodged the original owner's concern and avoided Zhang Cuifen's disappointed expression. His eyes unconsciously fell on his first son, Lu Yuanan.

Du Wendong's eyes lit up, and he pursed his lips, pretending to be sad. "My dear, I really have my reasons. When I picked up my pen in the exam room, I thought of An'er. Recently, I have been dreaming of my father scolding me, saying that I am useless and gave my son another family name..."

He sighed, and with his handsome face, people couldn't help but want to believe what he said. The original owner felt very guilty after hearing it.

Zhang Cuifen suddenly exploded. She pointed at the original owner's face and cursed, saying all kinds of nasty words. Although the original owner was sincere to Du Wendong, she could hardly tolerate such scolding from Zhang Cuifen.

When the original owner was about to turn hostile, Du Wendong observed his expression and stepped in to stop him in time.

Later, taking advantage of the original owner's guilt towards him, Du Wendong proposed to move his family to Yangshu Town to attend a private school. Lu Duocai was unwilling to do so. He thought, it would be great for his daughter to live in the same town and see him every few days. Why did she have to be taken to another town?

In front of Lu Duocai, Du Wendong pushed all the blame onto Zhang Cuifen, saying that filial piety is hard to violate. He also kept persuading the original owner, and in the end, the matter was settled.

The original owner thought that after moving, the matter would be over and she could take the imperial examination again. She would do her duty as a wife and take good care of her husband and children. As for the difficult mother-in-law and annoying sister-in-law, she could just ignore them.

Things were not as simple as the original owner had imagined. Zhang Cuifen was not someone who was easily satisfied. If the original owner took a step back, Zhang's mother would have to take two steps forward, otherwise she would suffer a great loss.

The Du family's attitude changed again and again, and Du Wendong no longer had the same warm attitude towards the original owner as before, allowing her to be tortured by Zhang Cuifen at home.

There are so many ways to do that, such as washing clothes, standing by the rules, and serving meals to the mother-in-law. The original owner was miserable.

Whenever she couldn't help wanting to go back to Dahe Town to see her father, Du Wendong would persuade her to stop, and Zhang Cuifen would also restrain herself a little bit in time.

It's just a little bit, life is still bitter. After a long time, the original owner became numb. She focused all her thoughts on her children. Sometimes she felt strange, why did the Du family, with a declining population, not love An'er very much?

The original owner asked Du Wendong a question, but Du Wendong just smiled and denied it. He put his arm around the original owner and explained with his head down:

"No, my lady, you worry too much. Your husband is so focused on the imperial examination that he inevitably neglects the family. He can only worry about An'er in his heart and has no time to hug him or see him, but I love him too."

"As for my mother, don't you know her? She loves me the most. Maybe when An'er grows up, she won't think so anymore. An'er is so cute, there will be no shortage of people who like him. My wife and I both love him very much, right?"

The gentle words dispelled the original owner's dissatisfaction, but she still had doubts.
