If you knew it a long time ago, why didn’t you admit it?
There was a moment of embarrassment on Mr. Hu's face, but he had seen the world and quickly calmed down.
"I just learned about it recently. You are very tired from traveling all the way, so go down and rest quickly! By the way, if there is anything inappropriate next time, you can come and tell me."
Jiang Jixiao frowned: "I want to go back to town."
Chu Yunli answered: "You don't tell us why you came back to us. What you said seems to be that all the property is owned by our husband and wife. But there is no such thing as pie in the sky in this world. If you don't explain it clearly, we will live together for two years."
After attending the big banquet, Tian set off for home."
Mr. Hu was a little displeased, but he still said: "My heirs are few and I couldn't raise my three previous sons, so I brought you back. Jixiao, you let me down."
Jiang Jixiao lowered his eyes: "In fact, I can still look for more, maybe there are other heirs."
Khufu looked coldly: "Yes, my son will set off to pick him up. You two brothers must get along well with each other when you arrive."
Jiang Jixiao: "..." There really is!
He had a numb face and really didn't know what expression to put on. When the leader arrived, he pulled Chu Yunli out of the yard.
When he reached the trail outside, he asked in a low voice: "What do you think?"
Chu Yunli looked at him completely: "You are a scholar. If you don't want this family business and don't want to recognize this family, you can just ask the big boss to make the decision."
"But..." Jiang Jixiao hesitated: "I did use the money they left to get here. I have to remember my gratitude when I study."
Chu Yunli emphasized: "That is the money left by your mother."
Jiang Jixiao shook his head: "What if it's not the case?"
The two looked at each other, and both felt that they knew too little. They still had to find out more about Jiang Jixiao's biological mother. It was best to know the inside story of the two's separation.
The courtyard belonging to Liang was not big, and it was not the best in the house. After Liang went back, he found that it was much larger than before. As soon as Chu Yunli sat down and drank a cup of tea, four women came in.
The leader was a very capable woman: "My husband's surname is Zhou. I was ordered by the master to come and serve you. From now on, if you have any orders, you can directly tell the slave. By the way, these guys are the master's."
I know the nanny I specially found after my husband moved on now. They come from a good family and will do their best to take care of the young master. I can feel free to choose him."
Women in villages and towns do not hire wet nurses.
Jiang Jixiao was surprised at first, but then he refused Chu Yunli before he could say anything: "We don't want them, let them go."
Mrs. Zhou had a look of disapproval: "This is inappropriate. A rich man doesn't have the ability to breastfeed his own children. If word spreads, it will be a joke..."
Chu Yunli interrupted her: "I just told you to listen to our instructions. Are you planning to ask me to find Mr. Hu to find a new wife in charge?"
Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, and Fu Shen retreated with a few steps.
There were only three members of the family left in the house. Jiang Jixiao smiled bitterly: "Jiayu, I know it takes a lot of effort to take care of a child. We are new here, so I don't feel comfortable leaving the child to others. This child... is my life and is very important to me. Often.
In the end, if you want me to go to my place, just tell me."
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "There is no need to be so polite between husband and wife."
Jiang Jixiao was speechless. That was what he said, but how could he dare to treat the woman in front of him as his wife?
In particular, this woman has extraordinary skills, is very smart, and has quick reactions. She is not ordinary at all. If he really has some charming thoughts, he is afraid that he will be beaten to death. Of course, when he thinks of his wife who left after desperately leaving a child for him, he will think of everything.
Gone.
Jiang's father learned from his mouth that his son had been picked up. At that time, he was a little panicked and very angry. He ran to the town without having time to think about it. When he knocked on the door and saw his wife, he asked: "Why didn't Jiang Jixiao leave when he left?"
Tell me? After all, I have raised him for so many years, and I have no conscience at all. What does the relationship between father and son for many years mean to him? He is so cold and careless about kindness, and the Hu family doesn’t think much of him after returning home...
…”
Jiang's mother was very aggrieved: "I was in a hurry when I left, and they were urging me hard, so I didn't have time to tell you."
"Then let's go, why don't you go back to the village and give me a message? And let me hear about it from my mouth..." Jiang's father squeezed in step by step: "They all left you here, do you really think that he
After recognizing your rich father, he still supports you?"
Mother Jiang was muttering about this in her heart after the young couple left. When she heard the man's words, there was a moment of panic in her eyes.
Just at this time, Mr. Kong poked his head out of the kitchen: "They will go to the city to settle down first, and then come back to pick up my sister-in-law. Before leaving, they specifically asked me to stay here to take care of my sister-in-law."
After hearing this, Father Jiang felt that Jiang Jixiao was quite reliable. It was just that bastard son who refused to honor his father.
Mrs. Kong is famous for her cooking in the village. She is very lucky to have her take care of three meals a day.
Jiang's father asked for a long time, and what he heard was just like the rumors. The so-called ostentation and behavior of Khufu in Kong's mouth were not as detailed as the outside. He wanted to stay, but Kong wouldn't let him, and added
He had something on his mind and quickly returned to the village.
When Luo Shi learned that he had been picked up, he couldn't sit still. Hearing that Jiang's father was back from town, he hurriedly came to visit him.
"how?"
Jiang's father said bitterly: "He's gone."
His previous plan was to contact the Hu family by himself. Even if they wanted to pick him up smoothly, they had to give him a benefit first. Furthermore, he also planned to smear Shen Jiayu's reputation in front of the Hu family, and then use Yue'er
Send it to Jiang Jixiao.
As a result, everything was disrupted. Father Jiang rubbed his eyebrows and said: "In this way, I will take Yue'er to the city and act according to the situation. If Yue'er cannot stay with him, then Yue'er will be my daughter and his.
He has to take care of his biological sister! At least he must arrange a good marriage for Yue'er."
What the two of them didn't know was that Yue'er's uncle, the younger brother of Luo Shi's former boyfriend, had already arrived at Jiang Fu's home.
When Luo Shi remarried, her husband's family was not willing to let her take the child away. It was just a girl anyway, so she wouldn't starve if she stayed. When she got older, she would use the betrothal gift as a dowry to send her out, and that would be all.
The Lin family was really worried about Luo's insistence on bringing their daughter to him. What if the man he remarried was a beast and had evil thoughts towards the child?
The Lin family didn't want to have any choice. If the child lost his father, he would have to rely on his mother. Unless his mother died, it would be the relatives' turn to take care of him. The Lin family had been worried a lot over the years, so they simply treated Jiang Fu as relatives and kept in touch with each other.
.
Yue'er's uncle Lin Heizi didn't come alone, he also brought his wife. Lin He was a cheerful woman, quick with her hands and feet, and could do things quickly. After she came in, she exchanged a few greetings with Yue'er and said a few words.
Talked about business with Jiang Fu.
"Yue'er is not young anymore. The girl will get married after all. It will not be good for her to stay too long." He smiled and said: "I came here today because I think a marriage is very suitable for our Yue'er."
Luo Yue'er's complexion changed slightly.
Seeing this, Mrs. He continued: "This young man belongs to the Li family in the town, who sells sesame cakes. Do you know?"
The town is not big, and there are only two restaurants selling sesame cakes. The Li family's sesame cakes are slightly smaller and taste better, while the other one is more affordable, and the two businesses are about the same. Every time there is a market, they are very busy.
In business, it’s good to be busy, but I’m afraid not to be busy.
Jiang Fu's eyes lit up: "It's true that the son of the Li family hasn't decided to get married yet. He's good-looking and hard-working..." He really thought it was a good fit.
This is all about feelings. Even if he didn't like this bastard at first, after raising him for so many years, he has developed some affection for her. Besides, he worked hard to raise this stepdaughter. He doesn't have a daughter, so he naturally wants to
She can marry well and take care of each other with her two sons in the future.
Seeing that he agreed, Mrs. He lowered her voice and said: "We are not foreigners, so I will say some things directly. The previous rumors have been heard in our village. It is really not good for a girl's family to carry such a reputation. Yue'er
Nowadays, being locked up in a room and not leaving the house is no longer a problem. We still need to quickly decide on a suitable marriage. As time goes by, we will forget about those ridiculous things."
Jiang Fu was silent: "I really didn't know she had such thoughts."
In He's opinion, the Jiang family is quite kind, but her sister-in-law is dishonest. They say there is no smoke without smoke. If Luo Hongye was upright and did not interact with others in private, why would there be such rumors?
"You have to ask Yue'er's mother about this matter." Jiang Fu had deliberately ignored his stepdaughter's reputation these days. Now when he heard the Lin family mention it, he felt that the matter was imminent.
As soon as I mentioned Luo Shi, I came back.
When Luo Shi saw her former brother-in-law and sister-in-law, a smile appeared on her face: "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you were coming?" She looked at Jiang Fu and said disapprovingly: "You should have gone to find me."
Jiang Fu was angry: "How do I know where you went?"
Although he was persuaded by his wife that the affair between his wife and Jiang Gui was okay, he was still unhappy after hearing too many rumors in the village.
Luo didn't answer the question, and instead asked He to chat.
Mr. He took the opportunity to talk about his purpose of coming. After hearing this, Mr. Luo subconsciously refused: "If this can't be done, I will reject the Li family quickly and delay the marriage of my children."
"Why can't it be done?" Lin Heizi was dissatisfied: "How long do you want to keep Yue'er? Girl, if you keep it, you will be sad. This is my brother's only bloodline. If it weren't for this, I would be too lazy to worry about her.
.”
"I have my own plans for Yue'er's marriage." Luo Shi hesitated.
"You are her mother, so you are right to plan for her." He smiled and said: "We are uncles and aunts, this is not an affair. It is right to worry about her. We should discuss such a big matter. The Li family
This marriage was decided by Yue'er with the help of my mother-in-law... Not every girl is lucky enough to marry and live in the town without worrying about food and clothing."
Luo Shi was not very happy, and said with a half-serious smile: "I know that the daughter I gave birth to is a smoky Li family, and Yue'er can't bear that kind of suffering. Xing'er has reached the age of talking about marriage, can you tell me the truth?
If you are satisfied with the Li family's marriage, you can definitely let Xing'er give it a try."
He: "..."
She said this as if she was harming Luo Yuer.
Not only was she unhappy, Lin Heizi also heard the eccentricity of his ex-sister-in-law, and sneered: "Since you said you have plans for Yue'er's marriage, how about you tell me what kind of family it is? As an uncle, I am here
Worrying about her for the last time will be worthy of my dead brother."
Luo Shi was speechless: "The matter has not been settled yet. I will tell you when there is news."
Lin Heizi reminded: "I am his uncle, not a foreigner. If I don't want to harm her, even if the marriage fails, I won't tell anyone."
Mrs. He really felt that the Li family's marriage was a good one, so she rushed to the door to mention it. She thought she would gain the gratitude of the Jiang family and her ex-sister-in-law, but in the end, she was poured cold water on her, as if she was meddling in other people's business. She immediately asked questions
: "Which family is it? There are not many better people in Linglong Town than the Li family..."
The couple sang together and insisted on getting to the bottom of it. Luo Shi could not shirk it, fearing that Lin Heizi would make his own decisions, thinking that his daughter would marry into a wealthy family sooner or later, and there was nothing to hide. So she whispered the matter.
Lin Heizi just felt like he was listening to a book from heaven. He could understand all the words, but when they were put together, he couldn't figure it out. He asked: "You just changed Yue'er's surname to Luo, but now you want to adopt her out?"
Luo Shi was a little embarrassed: "The adoption is for Yue'er's benefit. It doesn't really matter what your last name is... In theory, Yue'er followed me to the Jiang family and grew up in the Jiang family. She should have adopted the Jiang family's surname a long time ago."
Lin Heizi was annoyed: "I have no objection to taking the surname Jiang Fu, why does Jiang Gui?" There were rumors in the village at first, and many said that Luo Yue'er was Jiang Gui's child. At that time, he just laughed and found out. After all, his brother and sister-in-law were
Even if the relationship is not good, the sister-in-law should not really go and steal, but now he is not sure.
He thought like a man. She really didn't think that Luo and Jiang Gui had an affair. She was a woman. After the woman got married, she only thought about her husband and her daily necessities. She went to live with the men outside, unless she didn't want to live.
Today, Luo Shi had humiliated her several times, and she couldn't help but ask: "Is it true that Yue'er is Jiang Gui's child, and now she is placed in her father's name?"
Luo Shi's eyelids twitched. When she said this, she knew that the Lin family was suspicious. She immediately made an angry look: "I did it for Yue'er's good. Jiang Gui happened to love her very much and wanted her to take precautions and give her this convenience."
, why not?”
"I don't agree." Lin Heizi stood up suddenly: "Yue'er is a girl who grew up in this village. If she goes to those wealthy families, she won't even get along with each other, and she will still be bullied. You are really her mother, you shouldn't act like this.
.”
At this moment, Lin Heizi was really angry, his eyebrows were filled with anger, and veins were popping up on his forehead and the back of his hands, as if he was going to be beaten if he disagreed with her.
Luo Shi was so frightened that he took two steps back: "I am her mother, and I will not harm her. You have not raised her all these years, so you are not qualified to decide her marriage. Of course, I am very grateful to you for caring about her, that's all.
That's all. It's up to me, the mother, to decide her final destination. Also, my mother-in-law agreed to this matter."
"Absurd!" Lin Heizi glared at her fiercely: "Is Yue'er my brother's bloodline?"
Luo Shi frowned: "Yue'er has been in the Jiang family for so many years..."
Seeing her rambling, Lin Heizi was instantly furious: "Answer me."
Luo Shi hid behind Jiang Fu: "Yes!"
Jiang Fu agreed: "Agui was very fond of Yue'er before, and wanted to discuss giving Yue'er a good place to go, so Hongye came to discuss it with him in private. After all, it is a matter of marriage in the girl's family, and the less you know, the better.
good."
Lin Heizi clenched his fists and glared at Luo Shi fiercely: "I'll ask Jiang Gui, if Yue'er is his child, then you can keep it for me!"
Luo Che's complexion changed slightly.
Lin Heizi had already run out angrily. He was afraid that the man would do something stupid impulsively, so he hurriedly chased him out.
Luo Shi was so panicked that he tugged at Jiang Fu and said, "Hurry up and have a look and let them fight. If this thing gets serious, they will laugh at me and you."
Jiang Fushen thought so.
Lin Heizi became extremely angry when he thought that his brother could not let go of the child before he died, holding his hand and asking him to take good care of Yue'er, and that he would not die until he nodded and promised in person.
If his brother knew that the child he was worried about before his death was not of his blood at all, he would be really angry. Especially when Luo Shi insisted on taking the child to remarry, Lin Heizi felt that her family had wronged her, and it would cost a lot to raise a child.
Silver, he also gave all the family's savings to Luo's dowry at that time.
As a result, the child turned out to be a wild child in the end.
Jiang's father was feeling uncomfortable when he saw Lin Heizi coming angrily.
"Jiang Gui, let me ask you, what is the relationship between Yue'er and you? Why do you recognize her as your adopted daughter and force Jiang Jixiao to find a good home for her?"
How can she hurt her child? It is impossible for her to embarrass the child she has raised for many years.
Jiang's father didn't think too much and said with a smile: "I'm happy, but can you take care of it?"
Lin Heizi clenched his fists tighter and tighter: "Is she your child?"
"Your brother has been dead for so many years, right? What does it matter?" Jiang's father said in a joking tone: "Many people say that I can't have a baby. If you insist on saying that she is my daughter, I will still be happy."
Lin Heizi couldn't stand his careless joking tone, so he couldn't help it any longer and rushed forward, slamming his fists down on Jiang's father's face.
In his rage, he fought without any control. Jiang's father received two blows, and immediately fought back after reacting. They were fighting for a moment, and He jumped in to deflect, and the beating became more and more fierce.
When Jiang Fu and his neighbor heard the noise and rushed over to pull them apart, both of their faces were bruised and swollen. In comparison, Jiang Fu, whose hands were often held down by He, was more seriously injured.
The village chief hurried over and scolded him from afar: "What are you fighting for? Do you have the strength to go into the fields? Are you finished with your work?"
Lin Heizi was still angry: "This bastard wants to adopt my brother's only child, and he said...said..."
His brother has been dead for many years, and Lin Heizi really didn't want him to become a talking point. He knew that he was impulsive today and was really angry with Luo Shi. He kindly came to help Yue'er propose marriage... No matter what Yue'er had done before
Shen Jiayu didn't really hurt Shen Jiayu and wanted to replace him. This matter has been widely circulated and it is not true anymore. Yue'er's reputation has been ruined, but the Li family is still willing to look at each other. This is a good thing. He is sincerely doing it for his niece.
Okay, so I came to the door excitedly.
As a result, Luo Shi actually wanted to use Yue'er to make a career... Is it so easy to marry into a rich family?
Yue'er's status is just like being a maid. If you don't learn any rules and want to be a husband, even if you do, you will be looked down upon by those below.
The village chief is from the Jiang family, or one of the elders. He is impartial on the surface, but naturally wants to help his family in private: "Agui, what do you say?"
In front of so many people, Jiang's father naturally refused to admit it. He only said: "Yue'er looks good. I don't have a daughter myself, so I treat her as my daughter. Isn't that okay? Also, Jixiao has been recognized by his biological father.
If you go back, even if you want to support me in the future, if you don't come back to support me in person, it's already too late for me to raise another child at my age, so why not adopt a daughter and come back?"
Lin Heizi was so angry that he wanted to fight, but as soon as he made a move, he was restrained by a group of people. He gritted his teeth and said, "Luo Hongye, are you worthy of my brother?"
Luo Shi lowered his eyes: "I helped him raise his daughter, how can I feel sorry for him?"
Lin Heizi screamed: "I don't allow you to adopt Yue'er!"
Luo Shi seemed to be deliberately irritating him: "I am her mother. She should be obedient no matter what I ask her to do. You have no control over her."
In fact, she resented her former brother-in-law for making such a big fuss.
Lin Heizi couldn't convince her, so he searched the group and saw Luo Yue'er hiding behind him at a glance: "Girl, do you want to adopt an adopted child? If you are willing, uncle will take you home today and give it to you."
Prepare the dowry."
"I..." Luo Yuer lowered her head: "I listen to my mother."
Lin Heizi's throat felt so sweet that he almost vomited blood from anger. He gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to adopt, you will no longer be the daughter of my Lin family. Luo Hongye, please give me back the money you took away from my family! Otherwise!"
, this matter is not over yet.”
Luo Shi's expression changed slightly: "After all, you still want the money, so you should have said it earlier." She looked at Jiang Fu: "Give him three taels of silver first."
Jiang Fu: "..." Such a loud tone.
The family's savings, which they had worked so hard for so many years, were only three taels, and she wanted to give them away. Why?
