After finishing the household chores, Chu Nanzhi felt much more relaxed.
Although she knew in her heart that she might not be grateful to Liu Shuyang for his tolerance this time, and might even deliberately seek revenge, she had to give him another chance to change his ways in front of the Chu family.
After all, he is Xiao Muci's biological father.
Moreover, just because he went back to his parents’ home, all his sisters could become single women. This is not justified both emotionally and rationally.
With his current status, he and Lin Jinxiao can exchange for freedom with a divorce letter, but the blood relationship between the Chu family cannot be shaken off no matter what.
She had to find a way to protect the family, so she had a plan in mind to deal with Liu Shuyang.
Even the trouble caused by Chu Nanxiang today disrupted her original plan, and she didn't buy anything she should have purchased.
Seeing that it was lunch time, Liu Yun didn't know that her daughters were back today and there were no decent dishes at home, so she asked Chu Nanxiang and Chu Nanzhu to take care of the children at home, and asked Weng's son-in-law to catch a chicken from the chicken coop.
He came out to kill and take care of things first, while he pulled Chu Nanzhi to buy groceries with a mysterious look on his face.
After they left the yard and the two were walking on the road, Liu Yun suddenly darkened her face and became worried. She said to Chu Nanzhi worriedly:
"Da Zhi, it's a good thing that you are capable now. I'm happy for my mother, but you use so much money to support your mother's family. How can I not be angry?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at her panicked look and then realized:
It turns out that she took herself out alone because she was worried about this.
With a calm smile on his face, Chu Nanzhi replied casually: "Mother, you don't care what he does. I earned all this money myself, and I didn't get any money from him."
It should be said that this amount of money is indeed quite large.
But this couple had spent their whole life on their daughters, and she couldn't just watch the two elders grow old without a happy death.
I vaguely remember that in order to get married to the original owner, the couple paid eight or nine hundred taels of silver.
The original owner was too lazy to work, and spent all the dowry money. Lin Jinxiao didn't save a penny from his salary in the Yamen for several years. In the past two years, he continued to take money from his parents' family.
In comparison, this is nothing, just think of it as repaying a debt of gratitude to the original owner.
But when Liu Yun heard what she said, she became even more worried: "Don't talk nonsense. After all, this is not a small amount of money. It's more than two hundred taels of silver. Who wouldn't feel distressed? The relationship between you and Dalang has finally eased. If you continue
Because of the conflict caused by this matter, my mother will not feel at ease even if she dies."
"Why would a good mother want to die?"
Chu Nanzhi scolded him angrily.
But thinking that she had spent more than two hundred taels of silver on her daughter, Liu Yun couldn't listen to anything. She rubbed her hands repeatedly anxiously, muttered to herself, and suddenly faced Chu Nanzhi firmly:
"Da Zhi, these decisions you made are all right. I don't have any objections to my mother, but I can't let you and Da Lang lose this money like this. Although our old house is a little dilapidated, it is still good.
It's worth some money. You go back and talk to Da Lang. Wait for a while, wait for your father and I to sell the old house, and then return the money. You must never cause trouble with Da Lang again.
Come."
Liu Yun spoke with tears in her eyes again:
"Axiang has just made peace with you. If you make some trouble again, what will you do to your mother? You two can't have any trouble again."
Seeing her looking haggard and sad, Chu Nanzhi became very upset.
I thought I was helping her share the burden, but I didn't expect that it would actually make her more anxious and uneasy.
As a result, the matter of reconciliation with Lin Jinxiao was even more unmentionable.
She took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears while comforting her patiently:
"Mom, don't think too much. We still have some money at home. As I told you just now, we have to go to the county to open a restaurant. If you really feel guilty, take your two sisters and take my place.
Worry about opening a restaurant, keep Liu Shuyang under control, don't indulge him anymore, and the whole family will help me earn more money back home."
Liu Yun choked up and replied: "This child Shuyang really broke my mother's heart. At first, she thought he was pitiful, so she took him into our home as a son-in-law. If it weren't for Ci'er, I would have given him up long ago."
Kicked out the door."
"I know, I know everything."
Chu Nanzhi whispered as if comforting an old child:
"Okay, okay, don't cry. Let the people in the village see it. They will think that I have done something bad to make you sad. From now on, you and your father will listen to me. Even if your daughter gets married, she will still be your biological child.
You worry about this and that all day long, how can we still be like a family."
Liu Yun was dumbfounded by her words. She grabbed the handkerchief and wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, and finally managed to laugh:
"Okay, okay, I will listen to you from now on. I will not do anything from now on. I will just stay at home and wait for you to serve me filially."
"That's pretty much it."
Chu Nanzhi knew that she was joking, so he responded in a flattering manner, fearing that he would make her cry again, so he immediately changed the subject:
"We don't have anything to do at home. During this time, I will stay here and teach you, Axiang and Azhu how to cook. When you learn more dishes, we will go to the city to see if there are any suitable ones.
Pavement.”
Liu Yun was very happy to hear this: "It's okay, it's the first time Dalang comes to the house and let him stay here for a longer time. If the medicine is not enough, he can go to the city to catch it. It's rare for a family to get together and do something."
Everything is fine.”
Just thinking about the acres of land in her daughter's home made her feel a little guilty:
"You said that you, silly girl, had to commit a crime and gave the land to Shu Yang to pay off his gambling debts. Now you are fine. You can't even eat some vegetables grown at home. Fortunately, this year we have fruits and vegetables in the dry land.
There are quite a lot of them, so I’ll pick more when I go back.”
"Well, I listen to my mother."
Chu Nanzhi did not dare to disobey her and obeyed her everywhere.
At the market, Liu Yun rushed to buy a pig leg, a few kilograms of lotus roots and bamboo shoots, and some cooking seasonings. If Chu Nanzhi hadn't stopped her, this woman would have wanted to use all the ingredients in the market.
I bought some of the delicious food I saw and gave it to the couple and their children to try.
After buying the things, Chu Nanzhi pulled Liu Yun back with a heavy basket on her back.
When she arrived at a more secluded place, she took out the thirty taels of silver that Liu Shuyang had just found and handed it to Liu Yun, and said:
"Mother, this is the money you sent to buy medicine for Lin Dalang last time. You should take it and hide it so Liu Shuyang doesn't notice it again."
Liu Yun was not willing to accept it, so she quickly resisted and said: "I still have money at home. There are still a few taels left from the fifteen taels I brought back last time. You can keep it to buy food for the little ones. It also costs money to see a doctor.
You are thinking of opening a restaurant again, there are plenty of places to spend money."
"I have saved the money to open the restaurant. You don't have to worry about Lin Dalang and the four little treasures. I know it well."
Chu Nanzhi pushed her back and forth, and Liu Yun finally had no choice but to take fifteen taels of silver and go back.
When he was about to enter the courtyard gate, Chu Nanzhi was still a little worried about the house, and solemnly warned her again: "Mom, you must remember what I said today, and you are not allowed to have any ideas about the old house again."
Because she was really afraid that this woman would sell the old house one day without anyone noticing, and then go to the Lin family to pay off the debt with the money.
After hearing her words, Liu Yun didn't dare to be stubborn anymore and obediently pulled her through the door.
