My cousin was still pregnant! The family asked her to wash clothes, feed the pigs, and hoe the fields. How could she, a young lady, do these things? If she didn't do it, everyone would scold her, saying that she was good at eating and lazy at work.
If she did it, everyone would scold her, saying she was useless and couldn't even do these tasks well.
The family even told people outside that she was shameless and disrespectful of ethics and had to rely on their son.
The distant cousin fell down while washing clothes, and the child in her belly was also dropped. The family started to attack her, but the poor scholar just watched and never said a word for her.
Said she was unfilial to her parents-in-law.
Later, the poor scholar became more and more disgusted with her, started to attack her, and told her to get lost many times when he was angry.
The strong-willed cousin couldn't stand it any longer, so she really got out and went back home.
Although her cousin's family resented her in their hearts, when they saw her coming back, they still let her into their house and asked her to take good care of her. After hearing about what happened to her in that family's home, they went directly to beat the poor scholar with them.
After a meal, the family also smashed up his home. After the family knew that the cousin's family recognized her, they came to the door again, crying and begging the cousin to go back, saying that they really loved her and would treat her well in the future.
The cousin finally understood that the poor scholar had no undying love for her. He was just interested in her family background. If she were still a rich girl, he would naturally treat her like a treasure, because then he could, because of her,
But after getting money from her family, the family severed ties with her. If she is no longer a rich girl, then she will be worth less than the fish beads on the ground.
The cousin's family originally wanted the poor scholar to reconcile with her, but the poor scholar disagreed. First, he said that he could not live without his cousin. Later, when he saw that the cousin was determined to reconcile, they asked for money, and said that he would give her the money.
Peace and separation.
The poor scholar deceived her cousin and ruined her life. How could she agree to let her family give money to that shameless man? My cousin was heartbroken. After recovering from her injuries, she went directly to the mountain to become a sister-in-law.
The poor scholar didn't get any money, he only got a daughter-in-law who became a monk and would never be married again.
Ever since the incident involving her cousin happened, her parents and brother had not allowed her to read any more books. They also said that the reality of a rich girl falling in love with a poor scholar would rarely end well.
Ning Ruyu rolled her eyes at Miss Li and said, "No!" Mr. Yun was not a poor scholar.
"It's fine if you don't have one." Miss Li patted her chest with relief, "However, it's best to marry a well-matched person, otherwise you won't be happy if you don't have the same ideas."
Ning Ruyu didn't speak, but stared at something.
"What are you looking at?" Miss Li's family followed her gaze and saw a lady wearing a blue skirt leading two maids walking on the cobblestone path.
She knew that lady, she was the wife of the Yun family, and she was also the biological mother of the young master of the Yun family who had won the first place in the list of children not long ago.
"What do you think she is doing?" Miss Li asked in confusion.
Before she got an answer, she saw Yu Ruyu walking towards Mrs. Yun. "Ruyu and Mrs. Yun are not familiar with each other. What were you doing in the past?" Miss Li also followed.
Mrs. Wu was walking away with her maid Wang Shuixie when she saw a beautiful and dignified girl wearing a white silver-embroidered butterfly skirt and a fairy bun walking towards her.
The girl kept looking at her, thinking that she was not passing by her, but heading towards her.
Wu walked slowly, her eyes always looking at the girl walking towards her. She looked very familiar to this girl, but she couldn't name her for a while.
After Yu Ruyu walked in, she smiled and blessed Mrs. Wu: "My little girl, Yu Ruyu, has met Mrs. Yun."
Yu Ruyu? Wu’s eyes widened, and she said that this girl looked familiar. It turned out to be Yu Ruyu, the eldest daughter of the Yu family.
She had seen this girl several times at banquets and often heard people mention her. The Yu family has a clean and upright family tradition. Both the young master and the girl in the family are well-educated and have good moral character. Yu Ruyu is even more so.
With both talent and beauty, she is the first choice for a daughter-in-law in many people's minds.
