Chu Yunli didn't sleep very well at night. She woke up almost as soon as Yang Lanhua arrived outside her yard. After hearing about this, she immediately put on her clothes and got up.
It was still dark at this time, and there were torches lit everywhere in the backyard. In the dimness, you could vaguely see the excitement. Chu Yunli saw Lu Dali who was grinding at a glance.
Seeing her approaching, Mrs. Wang was a little nervous. "Hehua, is someone going to disturb you?" She emphasized, "We are just here to help, we have no other intention."
"I heard that Uncle Lu lost a lot in business." Chu Yunli looked at Lu Dali.
Lu Dali really lost all his family fortune this time, and was blocked by creditors. He really felt humiliated. He also didn’t like outsiders mentioning this matter. Hearing this, he looked a little embarrassed, "Lotus, people make mistakes.
,I am not cautious enough”
In fact, otherwise, if this damn girl hadn't forced him to get the money and land deed back, he wouldn't have gone out to borrow interest. If this damn girl had been willing to lend him money, he wouldn't have ended up in the situation he is in now.
At this point, it was too late to say anything. He blamed Lin Hehua in his heart, but he couldn't say that with his mouth. He could only say that he was at fault so as not to offend others again.
The purpose of the two people coming here is to borrow dozens of taels of silver and redeem the land deed of the Lu family first.
"Don't mention that." Chu Yunli waved his hand, "In business, there are losses and gains. It's not that easy to get money for free. Uncle Lu is not an outsider. Now that we are desperate, I naturally can't just watch."
The implication is that he is ready to help the Lu family.
The couple felt happy when they heard this, especially Lu Dali, thinking that he had taken care of this girl for so many years. No matter how tough she was, she would still be willing to help him when he was in trouble. The girl continued, "
I heard that you almost can't even save your house, so I definitely can't let you work in vain. Let's do this, the people I work here are paid three yuan a month, and I will give you the extra four yuan later, and I will treat it as taking care of you."
Lu Dali ""
Wang was stunned.
She didn't even dare to look at the man beside her. Lu Dali's family has not been an ordinary family since he was born. A man with hundreds of taels of silver in his hand, even if he fell into the mud, it would only be temporary. He would never do this.
Do hard work to support yourself.
For a moment, Lu Dali had the urge to throw away the grinding rod in his hand. He suppressed his anger and said, "I don't want wages."
Chu Yunli was surprised, "You don't want my care."
Lu Dali ""
He came here just to ask Lin Hehua to take care of him and get him some money to tide over this difficulty. But it was not easy to say this.
Just when he was hesitating, Chu Yunli clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Uncle Lu still has the backbone. In this case, I can't leave you here to help. You should have other things to do during the day, so go back and rest."
I want to take care of you. Since you don't need it, let the grinders come back to work." She lowered her voice. "I paid them wages, and they were higher than wages outside, and I didn't let them suffer. But I can't.
Let them rest again.”
She called out to the man who was doing the grinding, and he quickly ran back and squeezed Lu Dali away.
To be honest, he was really afraid that his employer would give this job to Lu Dali. Grinding was different from other jobs in the yard. He only had to work until noon. He could earn three silver coins a month in such a short time, which was not the case in this town.
It's easy to find. The key is that he still has half a day to go home and work, and he doesn't delay his family affairs. If this job is taken away by Lu Dali, it means that he will lose the wages in vain.
"Okay, you can go back."
Lu Dali gritted his teeth and chased him to the door of Chu Yunli's yard. "Hehua, can you lend me a few dozen taels of silver first?"
"No." Chu Yunli spread her hands, "I have spent all my money, you know that."
Lu Dali hurriedly said, "You can pledge the land deed."
Before he finished speaking, he met the eyes of the woman in front of him who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Chu Yunli mocked, "You did this yourself and even lost your ancestral property. Now you are harming me again. I am not short of food and clothing. I have a tofu shop and a medical clinic on hand, and I don't want to make a lot of money just by eating."
If I become fat, I won’t be willing to take such a risk. It’s even more impossible to take such a big risk for others.”
She looked at Mr. Wang, "You followed him, do you agree with what he did?"
Wang's tears fell again, "What can I do if I don't help him? Hehua, you are my daughter. I really shouldn't trouble you, but Shulin is also my son. He is still so young. He will marry a wife and have children in the future. If he doesn't even have a house,
None, what will he do next?”
"I can't control it." Chu Yunli waved his hand impatiently, "Not to mention that Lu Dali has so many brothers outside who don't need my help. It's none of my business where you end up. To put it bluntly, then
It's not my fault. Don't say that I don't have any cash on hand. Even if I did, I wouldn't lend it to a bold person like Lu Dali. My money is hard-earned and I just want to save it. Let me say it again,
Rather than wasting your efforts on me, you might as well go find someone else for help."
She frowned and said, "If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for being rude." She glanced at the bustling backyard over there, "There are so many guys, it's probably okay to ask them to help beat someone up."
Wang's ""
She wasn't sure whether her daughter would really let those people come to get along with Lu Dali, but she definitely didn't want to see these two people becoming life-and-death enemies. She immediately wanted to drag the man out.
Lu Dali looked deeply at Chu Yunli and said, "Hehua, you really won't help."
"I won't help," Chu Yunli said firmly.
Lu Dali strode out the door. Wang turned around and glared at Chu Yunli fiercely, then said "He has no conscience" and trotted to follow.
The news that Lu Dali even pledged his house, and now that he has lost all his money and cannot get back the title deed, is about to be kicked out of his home and live on the street, soon spread in the town.
His usual brothers are not really heartless, but their families are not rich. Even if they can get dozens of taels of silver, it is all the savings of the whole family. The brotherhood is real, but there are elders and elders in the family.
Xiao, it's impossible for the whole family to help him alone.
Soon, Lu Dali discovered that all of his brothers were occupied. Not to mention drinking with him, they even had no time to talk to him.
Is there anything else Lu Dali doesn’t understand?
These people were obviously unwilling to help him. As the day drew near, he could only collect a few taels of silver, and the Lu family's house was finally taken away.
He took his family and settled down with the money he borrowed.
In the past, the Lu family hired a mother-in-law to take care of the family's daily life, and she had someone to do the rough and heavy work. At that time, Wang could do a little if she wanted to, and someone would help if she didn't want to. But it's different now. It's definitely not possible to hire someone, and she has to do all the cooking and laundry.
Wang will do it himself.
After she married into the Lin family, there was no need for her to do the work herself. Even if she knew everything in her natal family before getting married, she had already forgotten all about it in the past twenty years. For a time, she was just busy, working from morning to night,
Still can't do anything well.
Lu Dali is also very busy. He wants to make a comeback, but he must have capital. But what he lacks most now is money.
Of course, there are still three pounds of nails in the ruined ship. Even if Lu Dali is in despair, he will not be able to support his wife and children for the time being.
Xinghua couldn't stand the depressive atmosphere at home, so she moved to her mother again. Her mother thought more about how Lu Dali was able to save so much money and be kind and righteous to others, but he did it by any means necessary.
Now he's borrowing money everywhere, but he can't borrow it. No matter who he is, as long as he is pushed into a hurry, all morality and the like must be put aside. If he is so poor and crazy, he will probably exchange his daughter's marriage for money.
Therefore, Xinghua Niang quickly settled on a fiancé for her daughter. It was a pretty ordinary family there. Not only did Xinghua get married, she would not enjoy happiness, but at least she would not endure hardship.
When Lu Dali learned about this, he was furious and directly called on Xinghua's husband's door: "You are worthy of marrying my daughter, not to mention anything else. Xinghua was raised by me, but you have decided to get married privately, without first marrying me."
You know the rules. This person who doesn’t know the rules is not worthy of marrying me."
This family's surname was Liu, and they were quite close to the butcher's family, and they did not break off the relationship just because of these few words.
When Lu Dali saw this, he sneered and said, "Xinghua has a bad temper. She refused to accept the marriage arranged by my biological father for her before. Your family may not be able to bear such a daughter-in-law."
Liu's mother frowned, "It's not that Hehua was the one who decided to marry Gao Changhe from the beginning. I mentioned Xinghua first just to prevent outsiders from gossiping." She waved her hand, "Xinghua has a good temper. Her mother told me the truth.
The marriage has been decided and you are late."
Lu Dali likes the feeling that he keeps his word and outsiders are willing to do things according to his wishes. Recently, he has been in trouble everywhere and has been refuted enough by others. He has to endure those things, but now he doesn't want to endure it anymore.
Mother lied"
"I don't believe anything you say." Father Liu stood up and said, "You don't want Xinghua to marry into my family. To put it bluntly, you just want to sell your daughter for a good price. Xinghua is a very good girl, and I won't let her end up like that."
We are in such a situation that our marriage has been decided, and as long as she lives one day, she will be a member of my Liu family."
The Liu family was quite strong, and Lu Dali felt that he was justified, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
This matter soon spread to Chu Yunli's ears. In fact, even though Lin Hehua had already been married once in her previous life, she never knew that Gao Changhe's marriage was prepared for her. She thought it was the first time she proposed it.
Xinghua, Xinghua didn’t want it, so it fell on her.
When Chu Yunli heard about this, he immediately laughed angrily and went directly to the butcher's house.
At that time, Lu Dali was arguing with Xinghua's mother about their daughter's marriage.
He was unwilling to let his daughter marry into such an ordinary family. "Give me some time first, a year at most. Such a person is definitely not worthy of Xinghua. Why are you so anxious?"
Xinghua Niang had a different idea, "I don't want my daughter to be rich and powerful. I just want her to find a man who knows how to love others and stay together for the rest of her life. The marriage has been decided, so you don't need to say anything more."
Lu Dali looked helpless, "You are ruining your own daughter."
Chu Yunli arrived at this time. She kicked the door open and asked in the astonished eyes of everyone in the yard, "Lu Dali, I just want to ask you, who is such a kind family as marrying Xinghua to the Liu family?"
Damn it, do you really want her to marry Gao Changhe?"
Lu Dali frowned, "Why are you here?" He glanced at the sky, "You should be working in the hospital at this time. Who told you what?"
Chu Yunli crossed his arms and stepped into the butcher's house step by step. He walked up to Xinghua Niang and asked, "Madam, I just want to know if Lu Dali and Gao Changhe proposed to get engaged, did they ever think about marrying Xinghua?"
Xinghua Niang was in her thirties, and she looked much older than the Wang family, but her brows were sharp, and it was clear at a glance that she had not been wronged in her husband's family. Hearing this, he frowned, glanced at Lu Dali, and said, "I don't know how to do it anyway."
He should know that he wants his daughter to marry that kind of gangster."
There was no direct answer, but he said everything.
Chu Yunli closed her eyes and asked, "Lu Dali, why did you marry me to Gao Changhe?"
Lu Dali defended, "I just said that to the Liu family to make them give up the idea of marrying Xinghua. I originally wanted to marry Gao Changhe's daughter, Xinghua. As for you, Xinghua, and you don't agree to marry, your mother thinks
I was embarrassed, so I agreed."
As the words came out of his mouth, he was shocked to realize that he had made a mistake. It was too late to make up for it, so he simply turned away.
Chu Yunli reached out and covered her chest.
Lin Hehua has always been unwilling to marry. She went on a hunger strike and heard her mother help persuade her. She always thought it was her mother who couldn't persuade her stepfather, but she didn't expect that it was Wang who took the initiative.
Chu Yunli couldn't stay any longer, so she turned around and ran to the yard where Lu Dali was renting now. The door was ajar, so she didn't have to knock on the door. She pushed the door straight in and saw at a glance that people in the yard were struggling by the well.
The Wang family who fetched water.
Wang's clothes were half wet, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her hair stuck to her face. She looked particularly embarrassed. When she heard the movement at the door, she turned around and saw her daughter rushing over, and couldn't help but squeeze out a smile.
Chu Yunli asked, "It was you who proposed to marry me to Gao Changhe."
Ms. Wang was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning of her words. After a moment of recovery, she dodges her eyes and muttered, "It's all in the past. You're not married anyway."
Chu Yunli looked at the woman in front of her. Her throat was particularly blocked and she was speechless. She asked, "Do you regard me as your biological daughter?"
"Of course you are my biological child." Wang said immediately, "I chose you Uncle Lu when I remarried, precisely because he would not treat you harshly."
"I think you are doing it for yourself." Chu Yunli stepped closer, "Mom, you even gave up your own daughter in order not to embarrass him. He is so good."
"Then" Mrs. Wang was forced back by her, and retreated to the edge of the well. There was no way to retreat. She said with some embarrassment, "Don't listen to outsiders' nonsense. At that time, your Uncle Lu hated Xinghua. I thought that although you were not
His biological daughter, but he treats you just like his biological daughter. Xinghua is disobedient. If you are obedient, you will benefit from it later. I didn’t know how much money he had before, but he must have a few hundred taels.
Yes, an obedient daughter will definitely please him. With the money he gives, it doesn’t matter what kind of person she marries."
Chu Yunli looked at her indifferently and said, "Xinghua Niang arranged for her to marry the Liu family. Lu Dali was unwilling to do so because she felt that the Liu family was not worthy of her daughter. But Xinghua Niang said that money is an external possession and she did not want it."
My daughter is rich and powerful, and I just hope that my daughter can marry someone who can take care of her and stay together for the rest of her life. You are both mothers, and your ideas are very different. Besides, mother, you hold the second child left by the Lin family in your hands.
A hundred taels of silver and land deeds, the only descendant of the Lin family is me, these are enough for me, am I a person who is short of money?"
A few hundred taels of silver was really a lot for people in the town. At least, if Lin Hehua didn't squander it carelessly, she wouldn't be able to spend it all in her lifetime.
Since there is no shortage of money, there is no need to compromise on the marriage for these extraneous things. Xinghua Niang knows a little about what Gao Changhe is, but it makes no sense that Wang has no idea at all.
Mr. Wang muttered, "Who would think that there is too much money?"
Chu Yunli couldn't bear "How much have you spent in your life?"
After Wang remarried, she only used a few taels of the Lin family's money and saved the rest. She didn't like to spend money, so she didn't want to do anything with so much money.
From Chu Yunli's point of view, Wang's agreement to let her daughter marry Gao Changhe was ultimately to please Lu Dali, not wanting to embarrass him, and wanting to be a sensible woman.
Chu Yunli asked, "I think you want to compete with Xinghua Niang to see who is more considerate."
"That's not the case." Ms. Wang was a little excited. "I'm younger than her, more beautiful than her, and I'm better at serving people than she is. What can she compare to me?"
But Wang was comparing himself to others both inside and outside his words.
The words were not speculative. Now that he knew the truth, Chu Yunli had no intention of talking to her anymore. He only said, "In the future, don't come to my door again."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
When he was going out, he happened to bump into Lu Dali, who was rushing back. When Chu Yunli passed him, he kicked his leg.
Caught off guard, Lu Dali was kicked. He staggered two steps and tried to stand up, but his legs hurt too much, so he fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Chu Yunli looked at him condescendingly and said, "Don't appear in front of me in the future, otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you."
Lu Dali ""
After that day, Lu Dali never came to Lin's house.
In the end, he still couldn't win over Xinghua's mother, and soon, the auspicious day for Xinghua's marriage was decided.
Mrs. Wang would come here occasionally, but it was not for meals. Chu Yunli vaguely felt that Ms. Wang would come here after finishing her work at home.
She didn't let Mr. Wang in or talk to her.
The mother and daughter have been in a stalemate. Chu Yunli's business is getting better and better. At the medical clinic, Dr. Zhou likes to visit doctors and is respected by people in several surrounding villages. The reputation of the Zhou family and his son has spread. There is a lot of enthusiasm.
The woman also wanted to be a matchmaker for Dr. Zhou.
If Chu Yunli hadn't acted quickly, Zhou Ping'an would have become the hot cake that everyone is fighting for.
In the blink of an eye, it was a few days before their wedding.
Every time she got married, Chu Yunli was very serious and made good choices. Because of her pickiness, the news about their marriage soon spread in the town.
On this day, Chu Yunli and Zhou Ping'an took a walk back to Lin's house, and saw Mrs. Wang at the door again.
Ms. Wang stepped forward and said, "Lotus, don't leave in a hurry. I have something serious to tell you."
When mother and daughter met before, Chu Yunli would run away as fast as possible without saying a word to her.
With Zhou Ping'an here today, Chu Yunli was not in a hurry, "Just tell me, I'll listen."
Mrs. Wang rushed to her, "On the day you get married, you will always have to sit high in the hall. You have to make me two sets of clothes. I don't want to embarrass you."
Chu Yunli looked at her, "Now that you are the wife of the Lu family, it is not appropriate to return to the Lin family to serve as a high priest. I have already thought about the matter of worshiping, and just invite my father's memorial tablet. As for how you look like this,
There are a lot of things going on at home recently, so you should be busy with your own business and don’t worry about me. If you don’t care about me, I can live a better life."
For a mother, saying these words to a child is like stabbing a knife in the heart. Wang's face immediately turned ugly, "Hehua, you blame me, right? I really decided to marry Gao Changhe for your own good."
, I really have no selfish intentions at all.”
Whether you have selfish motives or not, things are already like this. Lin Hehua has been killed by him. It's useless to say anything. Chu Yunli interrupted her, "I just blame you. Regardless of whether you have selfish motives or not, you still caused me to marry for no reason."
Once upon a time. Now that my fiancé is right next to me, do you deliberately bring up these things to get him to break off the engagement? Do you want to hurt me again?"
This is not nonsense. If you meet that stingy man, you may really want to break off the engagement.
Wang's face turned pale, she looked at Zhou Pingan, and said apologetically, "I didn't mean to mention the past. Pingan, Hehua is a good girl. I was not clear about the previous marriage. Fortunately, Hehua broke off the engagement. I'm sorry."
She, I came here today because I really want to help you two witness the marriage, since you don’t need it."
When she said this, she looked depressed, "Then just pretend I've never been here."
Seeing her leave, Zhou Ping'an frowned, "She really gave up."
Of course not, Chu Yunli said casually, "Even if she is willing, Lu Dali will not be willing."
Nowadays, Lu Dali is raising money everywhere and is going crazy. But there are only so many wealthy people in the town who can help him. Chu Yunli is one of them and the person closest to him.
Of course, this is just what Lu Dali thinks. In Chu Yunli's heart, he is an enemy.
Gao Changhe and Lu Dali have parted ways long ago, and it was a few months ago that the two of them sat drinking together.
On the first day of the wedding, Lu Dali came to the door. At that time, there were many people in the yard who came to help prepare for the banquet. Chu Yunli didn't want to pay attention to him. Lu Dali stood at the door and yelled, "Lotus, I have
It’s a very important thing to tell you. Your mother is sick. I don’t have money to hire a doctor. Please give me some money first so as not to make her condition worse.”
Hearing this, Chu Yunli felt a little dazed and felt that this scene was very familiar.
