Not only did it reach the ears of adults, it was only heard by these scholars in the city. If they refused to vouch for him in the future, he would be finished.
Tongsheng and scholar seem to be only one level lower, but in fact the difference is as big as heaven and earth. Let's put it this way, Liu Feijun and He Huaian are already scholars. If they deliberately create obstacles for him, it will not be easy for him to take the county examination.
That's all, you can't afford to offend, but you can't afford to hide.
"Sister-in-law of the He family, it was Lu Sanya who threatened me, so I lived with her." He said with a bitter look on his face: "I am not unfaithful to my wife."
Chu Yunli didn't believe a word of it.
It was Liu Feiyao who married Chen Shilin in her previous life, because the husband she chose was really not liked by the Liu family's descendants, and she couldn't openly say that she was bullied by him and had to marry, so the Liu family didn't give her much in dowry.
The little money he had left in his pocket to take the exam in the city was just a drop in the bucket. Chen Shilin was living with Lu Sanya as he was now. Liu Feiyao didn't know when the two hooked up, but on the day Chu Yunli came,
It was already obvious that there was no understanding between the two.
Therefore, Chen Shilin's statement that he was forced to do so is purely fabricated.
When Liu's mother saw him like this, she was once again grateful for her daughter's cleverness. "Huai'an is very good. If she had been replaced by this son-in-law, she would be the one crying at the moment."
"Feiyao, we've finished watching the fun, let's go home. You can't stay out for too long with your belly..." Seeing what Chen Shilin did, Liu's mother's pity for Yang Changyu's newborn disappeared in an instant, and she even deliberately
Said: "Chang Yu, after this couple gets married, hurry up and have a child."
Yang Changyu felt miserable. Did she not want to give birth?
She can't give birth on her own!
This Aunt Liu was so annoying. Before she left, she even stabbed her in the heart.
When the mother and daughter left, Yang Changyu noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere. He turned his head to look at the man beside him. When he met his cold eyes, he took a step back in fright: "Husband..."
"Don't call me that!" Chen Shilin said with a serious face: "Yang Changyu, did I dig up your ancestral grave, and you want to harm me like this? How important is the reputation of a scholar? You brought so many people to see it, do you really want me to come back with you?
Are you a farmer at home?"
Yang Changyu opened his mouth and explained: "This is not my intention. I don't dare to come. Please help Feiyao to be brave. I didn't let her find so many people to watch."
Chen Shilin saw that she was timid, and she was not as good as Liu Feiyao... Ever since he and Liu Feiyao got engaged, he could not help but compare Yang Changyu and Liu Feiyao in his heart.
It's simply not as good as others.
Now Liu Feiyao has made the He family rich with a large dowry, and the Liu family has done their best to help promote He Huaian as a scholar.
Yes, in his eyes, He Huaian was about the same as him, not even close to being a scholar. If he happened to meet an examiner who liked their writing style, he might be able to pass the exam. What's more, He Huaian put down his books for so long after being injured. As a result, he
He was studying with injuries, and during this period he wasted time to complete the wedding, but he still succeeded in one fell swoop. If he said that there was no help from the Liu family's ancestors and grandchildren, he would not believe it to death.
If he is the son-in-law of the Liu family, then he is the one who has passed the scholar examination now. Not to mention that Liu Feiyao is still pregnant. It is really a slow step and a slow step. Originally, he and He Huaian had similar status, but this was just a short time.
Within a few months, the two of them had completely distanced themselves. He Huaian became someone he couldn't get close to even if he wanted to please.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his hand and slapped her away again, angrily saying: "She hates me so much. You have no choice but to look for her. And you say you don't want to harm me?"
Both sides of Yang Changyu's cheeks became red and swollen, tears came out of his eyes, and he broke down and yelled: "You were married to Lu Sanya in the city, and you refused to touch me when you came home. I am your wife, and you are the one who did the wrong thing.
You didn't apologize to me, you didn't explain to me, and you hit me when you came up. Chen Shilin, I misjudged you."
Chen Shilin felt no guilt in his heart, and said indifferently: "I also misjudged you. From the first time you came to the door, I should have noticed that you are not as good as Liu Feiyao in everything. Your family background, appearance, virtue, and even cooking and cleaning are far behind.
, I shouldn’t have married you in the first place.”
Yang Changyu never expected that he would say such words. It was already aggrieved for a city girl to marry him, but he still thought she was not good enough. Where was her face?
Even though his family background was not good, Yang Changyu had never suffered any grievances since he was a child, and he had never been so disgusted by someone pointing his nose at him. He immediately became furious and began to speak arrogantly: "If I hadn't married you blindly, how could you have done it?"
Find a girl from the city? You are only worthy of marrying a waiting girl like Lu Sanya..."
Chen Shilin didn't want to be accused of being a womanizer, and he didn't want to live with Lu Sanya, and because he wanted to ask Lu Sanya for money, he had to be gentle with others. To be honest, he didn't show it on his face, but in his heart
He felt that this was quite embarrassing and humiliating. When Yang Changyu said this, he felt even more shameless: "Shut up!"
Chen Shilin clenched his fists and wanted to take action again.
Yang Changyu was not afraid of him: "You've already done it, and you're still afraid of me telling you? You two are a perfect match!" Instead of retreating, she moved forward, putting her red and swollen face close to hers: "If you hit me, you can let people outside
Let's see how you treat your wife who stayed in the countryside to help you take care of your parents and family."
Chen Shilin was speechless. It would take decades to study to gain fame. There were many scholars like him who left their wives in the countryside. Yang Changyu was not as virtuous and capable as other people's wives, but at first glance, to outsiders, they all
He felt that Yang Changyu helped him take care of his family.
Under such circumstances, he felt sorry for her and found another woman to live with in the city. No matter who would judge, they would say it was his fault.
His face turned red: "I'm going to divorce you."
Yang Changyu looked at him with wide eyes. Seeing that he was not joking, she took two steps back and fell to the ground.
"Husband, I was wrong." She apologized first, and then said indifferently: "If you are unwilling to forgive and insist on divorcing me, I will not leave. I have nothing to do with you, it is you who dislike me everywhere.
, and I'm sorry, if you are determined, then I will go to the Liu family or other scholars in the city to comment. Anyway, if you make me an abandoned woman, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
Chen Shilin said that he wanted to divorce her because he was impulsive. Firstly, he was a scholar, and abandoning his wife who was a loser would be a stain on his life. Secondly, Yang Changhua was also a child, and was looked after by the Liu family's ancestors and grandchildren. He might not succeed next time.
At that time, he had an elder brother-in-law who was a scholar.
With the scholar as a relative, it was only a matter of time before he passed the exam himself.
His expression changed several times, and it took him a long while to control the ferocious look on his face. He slowly stepped forward and pulled the person up: "Chang Yu, don't say such things, we are not there. I just made a mistake and said that I wanted to divorce you."
It’s not sincere. I know that those words of yours were not your intention. What you said during the quarrel cannot be taken seriously. You forgive me and I forgive you. Let’s live a good life in the future, okay?”
Yang Changyu didn't really want to break up with him, so he stopped immediately when they got along, threw herself into his arms and cried extremely sadly.
The two reconciled.
Chu Yunli was not surprised by this, but she knew that after these things happened, the two of them could no longer be a loving couple. No matter how good they looked on the surface, there was already a gap between them in their hearts.
The rural examination was in the autumn, and when He Huaian and the Liu family set off, Chu Yunli's belly was already swollen. It is worth mentioning that several yards of the He family had been repaired. After the autumn harvest, He's mother specially packed her bags to the city.
to take care of her.
With her mother-in-law by her side, Chu Yunli did not go to Liu's house every day, but stayed in the yard where she was "dowed".
Mother He cooked delicious food for her in every possible way. She was a very kind person and would not use her own methods of raising a baby to restrain her daughter-in-law. Instead, she would know what Chu Yunli wanted to eat when she heard it.
I went out of my way to find out how to do it from someone who knows how to do it, and then I came back and tried it.
Her only dissatisfaction is that her daughter-in-law spends most of her time embroidering there. There are rules in the countryside, and pregnant people are not allowed to touch the needle and thread. Of course, she is not dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's embroidery. In her opinion, it is pure nonsense. She is afraid that her daughter-in-law will spend most of her time embroidering.
Sitting makes it difficult to give birth in the future. She has figured it out these days. The young couple are very close to each other, and women often have accidents when giving birth. She is afraid that her daughter-in-law will have difficulty in giving birth if she sits for too long, and she will hurt her son.
.
Also, it was hard to find such a good daughter-in-law even with a lantern, so it was not just her son who couldn't bear to part with her, but she could not bear to see her who was already smoking from her ancestral grave.
She didn't want to openly let her daughter-in-law embroider, so she said she didn't know the way and took her daughter-in-law for a walk on the street every day.
On this day, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came back from outside and saw a steward-looking person standing at the door from a distance. Mother He didn't take it to heart at first, but when she got closer and saw the steward greeting her daughter-in-law, she suddenly realized that this was someone looking for someone.
Own.
The steward was particularly polite to her daughter-in-law, and lowered her head slightly when speaking to show humility. She knew that she was not looking for trouble, and immediately greeted her warmly: "Please come in and sit down."
The steward said cheerfully, "You're welcome, madam."
After entering the house, He's mother went to the kitchen to prepare tea, thinking that this person should be a relative of the Liu family. When she went out with the tray, she saw her daughter-in-law taking out an embroidery piece from the house.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lived under the same roof, so she could naturally see that her daughter-in-law's embroidery skills were extraordinary. When she saw the steward unfolding the embroidery and looking at it carefully, she later realized that her daughter-in-law had been sitting there embroidering, probably in exchange for money subsidies.
Household use. Thinking of this, she felt a little distressed.
My daughter-in-law is still pregnant.
Since the steward came here specifically to buy his daughter-in-law's embroidery, he should be more polite. Mother He smiled and served tea.
The steward held the embroidery in his hand and motioned for her to put the tea on the table. He thanked her with a smile, then put the embroidery away, took out a hundred-tael silver note from his arms and handed it to her with both hands: "Put it away, madam.
There is also a Mrs. Ding who wants to order a screen with a picture of hundreds of sons for her daughter-in-law. I told you that you don't accept the job at will, but Mrs. Ding has already said that she is willing to double the price and pay two hundred taels."
The smile on Mother He's face froze.
As early as when the steward took out the banknote, she vaguely saw that it was one hundred taels, and she was shocked. She thought that the steward had no scattered banknotes, and her daughter-in-law wanted to return some... Then she heard this
The remarks.
Two hundred and two are asking for a screen. Oh my God, is that screen made of silver?
The people in this city are really very wealthy.
At the same time, she also thought about why her daughter-in-law had such a generous dowry, a lot of money to subsidize the He family, and the Liu family was not dissatisfied. It turned out that she had secretly saved all this herself.
My son is not getting a wife, he is clearly bringing home a golden doll!
