Chu Yunli continued: "Our family has discussed it. If Yang Changyu insists on marrying Chen Shilin, we will let the whole family move out when she leaves the cabinet!"
This is a fact.
Chen Shilin almost insulted Liu Feiyao, who was considered an enemy of the Liu family. The Liu family did not care about him on the surface, but kept it in mind. Yang Changyu was going to marry an enemy of the Liu family, so what else could he be polite about?
Mother He's smile deepened.
She was in a good mood and didn't bother to argue with Chen's mother.
After the wedding was done, He Huaian was about to prepare for the county examination, and planned to live in the city after returning home. Before leaving, he bought the surrounding land, marked out several yards, and gave He's mother money so that she could live in the city.
The yard was gutted and renovated.
The He family was not at ease about He Huaian moving to the city permanently, but they had business to do at home, so they could only suppress their worries and send the couple to the entrance of the village.
The Liu family is also very worried about their daughter, fearing that her daughter will not be used to living in the countryside.
Chu Yunli was in good spirits, and the Liu family was relieved. It was not easy for a married person to live at home permanently. According to the current rules, you must return to your husband's house before dark on the day you return home, otherwise it will be unlucky.
.
After finishing the meal, Mother Liu took the initiative and said, "I have gone to clean the back area myself. I made the bed this morning. You can rest when you go back."
The house that He Huaian bought was on the street behind the Liu family. In order to get closer to the two families, Liu's mother also found someone to open a door in the wall of her backyard. In this way, the two families were only separated by a street and could be reached by walking in a few breaths.
True, the Liu family was a little dissatisfied with the marriage at first, but the more things went on, the more satisfied Liu's mother became.
No matter which family in the city you marry your daughter to, it is not as convenient as it is now. Also, it is simply a daydream for a newlywed couple not to live with their parents-in-law. My daughter has this luck.
From that day on, there was an additional disciple in the Liu Family School. Everyone knew He Huaian's identity and were very polite to him. Chu Yunli had nothing to do, so she started to embroider. She was very good at embroidery. After taking out a small piece of embroidery,
Immediately a wealthy lady came to the door.
Chu Yunli did not accept everything, only two paintings.
Mother Liu didn't expect her daughter to have such a skill, but she was also afraid that she would hurt her eyes by being too serious, so she often called people to the front.
On this day, Chu Yunli accompanied Liu Mu to buy groceries, plus food for the disciples in the school. A lot of meals had to be prepared every day, and they had to go with a carriage.
When he came back, Chu Yunli saw Chen Shilin standing at the door of Yang's house, holding a book in his hand and talking quietly to Yang Changyu.
The two of them were an unmarried couple, so it was normal for them to exchange a few words at the door. However, both of them looked unhappy at this moment. Chu Yunli suddenly became interested, and while moving things, her ears perked up.
"Anyway, what my mother means is that you can take care of the wedding dress and the wedding procession. If you want it to be grand, you have to pay for it."
Yang Changyu's face turned red with anger: "I've never heard of the rule that the wedding team requires the bride to prepare."
"Then who do you think gave He's money?" When Chen Shilin saw Chu Yunli on the roadside, he felt ashamed and beckoned, "Feiyao, come here and tell me."
Chu Yunli walked towards the carriage: "I didn't worry about the marriage at all, and I didn't give any money. All my family prepared was my dowry."
Chen Shilin looked unbelieving: "Then where did He Huaian's money come from?"
"Just because you can't make it doesn't mean he can't make it." Chu Yunli said plausibly: "Don't judge others by yourself, you are far behind him."
When someone said this to his face, Chen Shilin's face turned dark.
Yang Changyu and Yang Changyu haven't even decided on a wedding date. They talked about it, but they just said one more thing when they were separated. It's too early to argue about this matter now.
However, in just a few words, Chen Shilin had already seen that the Yang family would not be able to provide money for the marriage, and Yang Changyu also understood that Chen Shilin was not willing to marry her casually.
She felt very uncomfortable, really.
She and Liu Feiyao had grown up together and had about the same amount of food and clothing. She didn't notice much difference, but this marriage was completely different. If she really prepared for the marriage as Chen Shilin said, she would become a city dweller by then.
The laughing stock.
At this moment, Yang Changyu regretted his rashness. Even if his mother didn't get her wish, she shouldn't have chosen someone so poor.
It's too late to regret.
As for Chen Shilin, he felt equally uncomfortable. He obviously knew Liu Feiyao first. Although Liu Feiyao didn't say it explicitly before, she already had the idea of joining hands with him for the rest of her life. If it hadn't been for an accident, he would have been the one to marry Liu Feiyao.
He was also the one who built the new courtyard of the old house. By the way, the house where He Huaian lives now was still the dowry of Liu Feiyao.
Thinking of this, Chen Shilin felt sour in his heart and regretted so much that his intestines turned green.
For scholars, the most important thing is to get a good name in the exam. Now that the county exam is coming, everything has to be put off. Chen Shilin is the same. He tries to calm down his mood, thinking that he must succeed in one fell swoop. When he becomes a scholar,
There is everything.
As the day for the county examination approaches, the atmosphere in the Liu family's front yard becomes increasingly solemn.
He Huaian was everyone's favorite boy student before, but something happened in the winter of that year. Therefore, he is now only a prospective boy student and has to pass the exam.
In February, Chu Yunli personally escorted Tong Sheng to the exam. When he came back, he met Chen Shilin at the door of Yang's house.
Chen Shilin smiled and asked, "Are you going to see Huai'an off?"
"Am I familiar with you?" Chu Yunli snorted, turned around and left.
Chen Shilin took two steps after him: "It's been several years since he put down his studies. He must have failed the exam even as a child."
Chu Yunli originally wanted to deal with him, but when the opportunity came to her, she would not miss it. She rushed back and slapped him hard: "Shut up if you don't know how to speak."
Chen Shilin was hit hard and felt great pain in his cheek. He came here often recently to exchange books with Yang Changhua.
Regardless of whether Yang Changhua likes him or not, he is Yang Changhua's prospective brother-in-law. Only when he is good can Yang Changyu be good.
After Chu Yunli finished beating the man, he was still angry. His eyes fell on his books and snatched them back: "My grandfather compiled these, and you are not his disciple. I won't show you these books!"
Chen Shilin covered his face with one hand and subconsciously wanted to take the book back with the other hand. Hearing this, he was slightly stunned.
He wanted to argue a few words, but he saw that the woman in front of him had already pushed past him and knocked on the door.
Yang Changyu had just seen off his fiancé when he heard a knock on the door and thought he had forgotten something. However, when he opened the door, he saw Chu Yunli standing at the door with an unkind look on his face. She asked doubtfully: "Feiyao, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Yunli handed the book to her: "Did you give this to him?"
Yang Changyu was quite uncomfortable. What the Liu family and his son had compiled were all beneficial to the county examination. They did not restrain their disciples, nor did they explicitly prohibit spreading these things. But after all, these were their hard work, and Yang Changyu knew the grudges between the two families.
, but still sent it out... I didn't feel it was wrong before, but now I feel a little guilty.
Seeing that she was silent, Chu Yunli asked impatiently: "Is it you? Or did he steal it himself?"
It's too ugly to say stealing. Even if Yang Changyu found out that she had chosen the wrong person, he was already her fiancé. She subconsciously wanted to defend: "I gave it to him, what's wrong? My brother didn't say that these things can't be given to him!"
"
"Now I've said that anyone can see these things, but he can't!" Chu Yunli said in a cold tone: "If you are not convinced, move further away."
Yang Changyu's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Chen Shilin's expression.
After Chu Yunli finished speaking, she turned around and left without staying any longer.
Chen Shilin felt that this was not quite right: "Liu Feiyao, why do you want people to move away?"
Chu Yunli turned around and saw that Yang Changyu had grabbed his arm: "She is getting more and more arrogant now, and she doesn't make sense at all. We are not the same as her." He lowered his voice and persuaded: "You took the book from Liu Family Academy,
Whether it’s easy to say or not, don’t argue!”
Chen Shilin wanted to lose face, but after being reminded by her, he did not want to make the matter a big deal: "Don't worry, I will listen to you."
Yang Changyu blushed.
However, what happened this time reminded Yang Changyu that this family lived in the courtyard of the Liu family, and Chen Shilin could not let Chen Shilin know about this, otherwise, the marriage might change. And the Liu family's attitude was unclear now, and they might kick them out at any time.
Even if she doesn't expel her, just telling Chen Shilin the truth will have a huge impact on her.
We must quickly set the wedding date. Only if we really marry Chen Shilin is it safe.
So, after she and Chen Shilin separated, she found her mother and explained the pros and cons.
Yang's mother had nothing to say to her daughter. The Yang family was poor. The families she had found for her daughter before could have told them the inside story. Everyone knew everything and there would be no accidents during the marriage.
But my daughter didn't want to and insisted on choosing by herself. Now that it's better, she still has to hide it from others.
But things were already like this. Mother Yang could only hold her nose and admit it. She took a carriage to Dafu Village and went to the Chen family's door in person.
"Shi Lin is busy taking the county examination, so I can't disturb him. But the two of them... outsiders don't know, but we both know in our hearts that the sooner the marriage is done, the better."
Chen's mother disliked Yang Changyu for not having much dowry, and was unwilling to use money to arrange a marriage. She was no match for Liu Feiyao. But she was a girl from the city, and her brother was a child. This was already a difficult marriage for her family, so she missed it.
Well, where can my son find such a suitable match?
Chen Shilin thought that after he passed the exam, he would have a good discussion with Yang Changyu and cancel the marriage and find a new fiancée. But Chen’s mother didn’t think it was so easy for a scholar to take the exam. Could it be that failing this time would allow Yang Changyu to pass the county exam three years later?
Pass?
It's impossible.
Since she is going to get married, she might as well be more relaxed. She only hesitated for a moment and made a decision in her heart: "I think so too, but Shi Lin is afraid that he won't be able to make time..."
Yang's mother immediately took over the conversation: "I have thought about it and decided to set it on the tenth day of March. As soon as the county exam over there is over, he will get married when he returns home without any delay. If he succeeds, it will be a double blessing.
.”
After finishing the exam on the eighth day of the lunar month, getting married on the tenth day of the lunar month is indeed quite appropriate.
Both of them were afraid that things would change, so they hit it off immediately.
On Chen Shilin's side, it was his classmates who congratulated him, and he finally understood what happened.
The scholar who passed the exam wanted to change his fiancée to a different fiancée. It was something he wanted to do, but it was difficult. He had to pass the exam first, and he also had to find a girl he thought was suitable and didn't care about his engagement. The most important thing was to let the girl he was already married to
Yang Changyu, who had consummated his marriage, let go...everything seemed like an insurmountable mountain.
Now that it’s decided, let’s make it happen.
He calmly accepted the congratulations from everyone.
After the children's examination, the results were released half a month later, and He Huaian was in the front row. Four disciples from the Liu Family Academy also passed the exam. It didn't look like many, but it was already the school with the largest number of students in the city.
The Liu family was very happy. Many people came to congratulate them. Chen Shilin was among them. He held a glass of wine and said, "Congratulations!"
He Huaian showed some joy when facing the congratulations from others. When facing Chen Shilin, his face turned cold: "If I hadn't fallen into the water before, I would have passed the exam. In other words, you and I don't seem to be compatible. That time
You fell into a pond inexplicably in winter together, and I fell from a height with you last winter. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have died long ago."
Chen Shilin was a little embarrassed: "It just happened."
"Really?" He Huaian dropped this sentence and went to chat with others.
For the people in the village, He Huaian's passing the exam was a big event. He made a special trip back. He's mother was very happy, but she had to suppress it.
In a blink of an eye, the county examination started.
This time, the Liu family sent many disciples in. Liu's mother suddenly didn't have to help with cooking. She was not used to it, so she simply took Chu Yunli back to Dafu Village.
As a daughter-in-law, it is not appropriate for her not to accompany her elders. Firstly, Mother Liu sent her daughter back, and secondly, she also wanted to go to Dayang Temple to pray for blessings and fulfill her wishes.
Two courtyards of the He family have been repaired, and the one belonging to He Huaian was completed first. Now the furniture and furnishings inside and outside are all new. This kind of courtyard is the first in the village.
Many people say that the He family is about to get up.
He's mother truly believed that her eldest daughter-in-law was a lucky star. Since she met her, her family has been getting better and better, from being a poor family recognized in the village to being the richest family.
Chu Yunli was usually away from home, so he couldn't be empty-handed when he came back. He specially prepared two sets of new clothes for everyone, and bought He's mother a quilt and some pieces of fabric newly produced in the city. When he came back, the carriage was almost full.
Mother He talked about spending money, but the smile on her face never fell.
It's not that she covets these things, but someone in the village secretly said that the girls in the city looked down on the poor families in the village, and took the money to build a new house to silence the He family... After all, that house is not Liu Feiyao's own.
?
As for building a house for her younger siblings, the money she spent has to be repaid. They also said that she was unwilling to serve her parents-in-law when she got married, and lacked basic respect and respect for her parents-in-law, and was not filial at all.
Nowadays, my daughter-in-law has bought so many things and sent them back, but she doesn’t have to return them. If someone has such an "unfilial" daughter-in-law, she will wake up laughing even if she falls asleep.
Therefore, for her daughter-in-law who rarely comes back from the city, Mother He keeps making new ones every day. Now she has built a new yard and is not afraid of having guests. She also does not allow Mother Liu to live in the temple and will take people home even after dark.
.
Liu's mother lived in the village and went out to hang out every day. When she felt relaxed, she rarely thought about the county examination. As for He's mother, she had to entertain the mother and daughter well, so she rarely thought about her son.
In the blink of an eye, the mother and daughter had lived in the village for eight days. He Huaian rushed back as soon as he finished the exam, and Chen Shilin also rushed back.
Because his wedding is just two days away, the Chen family is already making preparations. However, at the moment, it doesn't look like they are going to make a big fuss, and the food is average, just not rude.
In the first two days of the big day, many people go to help. This is the habit of the villagers. If this time does not appear, when there are weddings and funerals in your family, others will not be willing to help.
Mother Chen came to help before, and Mother He also went there. The public statement was that she didn't want to owe the Chen family, so she had to pay off the work for a few days and never interact with them again.
After Chen Shilin came back, he felt particularly bad when he looked at the things in the yard and his new house.
In particular, on the way back after the exam, he asked He Huaian about his understanding of the explanations on the exam paper, and found that he seemed to have done something wrong.
If you make a mistake, you won’t be on the list. I’m afraid this year will be bad!
He was in a particularly bad mood and had to force a smile in the face of everyone's congratulations. Chen Shilin was so frustrated that he simply hid out. No matter how much he hid, he still had to show up on the big day because the bride was a girl from the city.
It's quite a long journey, and we have to set out the night before.
Traveling all night and having to pick up the newcomer back the next day, this trip is particularly hard and most people are not willing to go. Especially since the Chen family has a scholar who is usually aloof, no one is even more willing to do it.
Scholars are indeed great. When someone comes to ask for help, they should usually help with work. But the He family also has scholars, so how can they get along well with the people in the village?
Furthermore, the He family sent people to the city to pick up the bride. They prepared all kinds of snacks and gave out wedding money. It was almost two days' wages of a strong laborer... Although the help cannot be measured in money, but it is better to get the benefits.
Is it better to run away in vain?
Mother Chen searched around, and most of the people she invited were people who had helped the He family to welcome the bride, but none of them were willing to go. The food for the journey was coarse-grain steamed buns, and there were two copper plates sealed in the wedding package. Who would be willing?
She felt another layer of dissatisfaction with the He family, thinking that He's mother had broken the rules and fed up the appetites of these people, so they were unwilling. So, she went to invite those who had not helped the He family before...
No one was willing to take this trip even if they were given money, let alone refused on the spot if they were not given money.
Chen's mother couldn't invite anyone, and her face became increasingly ugly. She found her son in private and said, "Shi Lin, go and invite him in person. They will always give you face."
Chen Shilin had no choice but to offer tea to them one by one and ask them for help.
Tong Sheng was so polite that everyone who was invited was too embarrassed to refuse. When it got dark, a team was finally assembled to welcome the bride.
Chu Yunli didn't stay long. Before those people left, she went home with He Huaian to rest.
The county exam was very tiring. I couldn't eat or sleep well during those days, and I was under a lot of pressure. Many people fainted when they walked out of the exam room.
To be honest, it was quite inappropriate for Chen's mother to choose this time to get married.
Regardless of whether they were suitable or not, the wedding date was set, and Chen Shilin came to pick her up according to the date. The wedding team was very shabby, and it was the first job in the city...the worst kind.
Yang Changyu was sitting in a carriage with only a big red flower tied on it. Hearing the sparse sound of suona outside, he felt particularly uncomfortable. To get married like this, it would be better to walk quietly by himself. At least he wouldn't attract anyone's attention.
It would be embarrassing.
Fortunately, we soon left the city and reached the suburbs. Such a wedding procession was not alone and was not so embarrassing. We drove slowly and hurriedly all the way, and finally entered the village in the afternoon.
Yang Changyu wore a hijab and wanted to be carried in like Liu Feiyao... Chen Shilin had been busy these days and was exhausted mentally and physically. He didn't sleep all night last night. After traveling for so long, he felt a little dazed when he stood there.
I haven’t done any heavy work, and I don’t have any strength in my hands. How can I hold someone moving?
Even if I could hold it, I couldn't walk in at all.
But the bride refused to come down, and the people around her were making noises again. Chen Shilin couldn't help but push himself forward, and in the morning he took her down and led her in. As soon as he exerted force, his vision went dark and he fell over.
On the ground.
Yang Changyu thought he got what he wanted, but before the smile on his lips could fully raise, his whole body fell weightlessly to the ground.
Amid the exclamations, Yang Changyu's hijab fell off, and she immediately saw the sparse tables and chairs in the yard and the food on them. They looked shabby no matter how they looked, and her eyes became hot and she couldn't help but shed tears.
But everyone had already surrounded him, helping Chen Shilin up with all hands and feet.
Chen Shilin looked pale and had fainted. Fortunately, there was a barefoot doctor on the spot who came forward to check and said he was just too tired and would be fine if he took a rest.
After everyone heard this, they felt relieved. The groom had fainted and could not go to the church to get married. Mother Chen finally felt relieved after hearing that the doctor said her son was fine. She hurriedly called everyone to sit down and sent the guests away after the meal was finished.
Forget about this happy event.
Everything went smoothly after that. Yang Changyu was asked to change out of her wedding clothes and come out to help greet the guests. She was not very happy and took her time. Most of the guests had already dispersed without doing much work.
Yang Changyu felt aggrieved, and she worked with a lot of resentment. She noticed that her new mother-in-law was glaring at her over there, so she didn't bother to care.
But two women came to Chen's mother: "Sister-in-law, your daughter-in-law has come to the door. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise?"
Yang Changyu had no intention of paying attention and did not even look up when he heard this.
The two were very angry, but Chen's mother was very angry: "It's so disrespectful of you to come to collect debts on this special day!"
Yang Changyu suddenly raised his head.
She had previously said that if Liu Feiyao married into the He family, someone would be collecting debts on the big day. As a result, nothing happened to Liu Feiyao when they got married. She was quite disappointed. She never thought that she would be involved in such an unfortunate and embarrassing thing.
The two women said in unison: "It is only natural to pay back debts. Your daughter-in-law is a girl from the city, and she does not lack this..."
