As early as when hiring someone, Chu Yunli had already said that as long as he could find someone, he would be given one day's wages.
Everyone worked hard and finished their work early. That's why it was so fast.
Luo Shi pretended to be surprised: "Really in the woods?" She asked doubtfully: "But it's not like anyone in our village has made a fortune..."
Chu Yunli had already turned around: "Since someone died, let's report the crime."
"No!" Luo Shi said anxiously: "You are not the one who suffers. You have to ask the Qian family about this matter. What if they think Qian Yufeng did nothing good and don't want to make a big fuss."
Chu Yunli also has his own reasons: "Qian Yufeng insulted me with his front foot, and his back foot died. If we don't find out clearly, some people will definitely think that I secretly found someone to kill him. But I will never take it.
of human life.”
Luo Shi: "..."
She had long discovered that Shen Jiayu had the ability to kill, but she had never had such thoughts. Just like Gou Wa and Qian Yufeng, no matter which woman met these two, she would probably have the thought of killing. And
Shen Jiayu didn't, he beat the person up and then let him go.
However, Shen Jiayu's torture methods are particularly powerful. Gou Wa is still despised by everyone in the village, and the villagers do not allow women in the family to approach him. It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone screams and beats him. And Qian Yufeng
Even worse, his life was almost ruined.
This also includes her... Shen Jiayu's attack was not heavy, but it really made her life worse than death.
Chu Yunli looked her up and down: "You are blocking me like this. Could it be that Qian Yufeng's death is really related to you? In other words, he came to see you on the day of the accident. The time of the accident can be calculated when the widow comes.
, what were you doing at that time?”
A few questions made Luo Shi break into a cold sweat. The key is that when she chased her out, she was indeed seen by the villagers, and there was more than one person. Someone even called her out loud, but she ignored it at the time and didn't even say hello.
Luo Shi held on and said, "Don't slander me."
Chu Yunli nodded: "Anyway, sir, I won't let Qian Yufeng die in vain. You'd better have nothing to do with this matter. Otherwise..." She smiled broadly: "I won't be able to see you in the future. By the way, you still have to
I want my daughter to marry a good family, but Luo Yue'er has a murderer's mother, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to get married."
At this moment, Luo Yue'er was standing not far behind the two of them, her face turned pale.
Qian Yufeng has been dead for a few days. The weather has been hot recently. You can still smell the strange smell on his body from a long distance away, which makes people feel sick. The timid people don't dare to step forward and take a closer look, even if
Those who are more courageous don't dare to take a second look.
Seeing Chu Yunli approaching, everyone immediately moved out of the way.
You know, this person has to pay for his work. After Chu Yunli recognized that it was indeed Qian Yufeng, he glanced at Jiang Jixiao, and he immediately took out the money: "Who can take it and get a share?"
A prestigious person in the village was pushed forward to receive the money. Chu Yunli was already squatting in front of Qian Yufeng. As soon as Jiang Jixiao gave out the money, he saw her actions and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Don't touch it, later."
Someone will come."
"I'll just take a look." Chu Yunli lifted the leaves covering Qian Yufeng's face and said, "The first injury should be on the bridge of the nose. No wonder."
Jiang Jixiao had passed the scholar examination, so he had naturally read books on autopsies and the like, but he was not specialized. Hearing Chu Yunli's confident tone, he was slightly surprised: "Are you sure?"
Chu Yunli did not look back.
Jiang Jixiao believed her words deeply and suddenly realized that the bridge of Qian Yufeng's nose was injured. If this place suffered a heavy blow, it would definitely be extremely painful. It is normal for him to be unable to fight back for a while. And this can also be explained.
Luo Shi, even a woman can kill him.
Everyone there divided the money, and most people did not leave, but stayed to watch the fun. There would not be a murder case in the village for decades.
Even in the entire county, there were not many cases of human life. The mayor brought people over and ordered people to take turns keeping an eye on him and not allowing anyone to get close. Moreover, he privately asked about what happened to Qian Yufeng. What happened to Qian Yufeng?
He also inquired about his grievances with others. In the evening of that day, Luo was ordered not to leave the village.
Two days later, the county magistrate arrived with his people overnight.
At this time, Qian Yufeng had been dead for several days, and his face was blurry. After a few days of delay, he could not see clearly. After careful inspection, he determined that Qian Yufeng had been stoned to death.
Still in the woods, Luo Shi was brought in front of everyone.
She naturally refused to admit it and kept complaining, saying that she chased him out that day to give him money. Moreover, she insisted that Qian Yufeng must have been murdered because of someone seeking money.
"How can I, a female prostitute, beat a grown man? If you ask around a little, you will know that Qian Yufeng can beat five people by himself. I don't have that ability... If he really has that ability, I won't give him any money."
.”
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "Fifty taels of silver is not a small number. Where did you come from?"
Roche is stuck.
Chu Yunli stood up, came to the Lord, and bowed deeply: "Luo Shi has chosen my husband to be her son-in-law, but he has already married me, and she is unwilling to do so. She has harmed me several times, and please be careful, Sir."
Luo Shi was so focused on getting herself out of Qian Yufeng's murder case that she never expected that Shen Jiayu would sue her at this time. She had people come to her home twice to bully Shen Jiayu, and many people helped, including some
There is the matter of Lin San asking Jiang Gui to take the carriage to the city... As for her murder of the scholar's wife, there is almost no defense.
Of course, Shen Jiayu cleverly avoided it. Her crime was not that serious, but she should be convicted for her harmful intentions.
In an instant, Luo Shi's whole body went numb.
"I……"
The master frowned, looked at the master who was busy writing at the side, and asked: "Luo Shi, where did the money you gave Qian Yufeng come from?"
Luo Shi was speechless.
This cannot be said!
Because this is clearly related to her harming Shen Jiayu. If she hadn't found Qian Yufeng and shouldered the matter in front of Shen Jiayu, Mr. Hu would not have given her dozens of taels of silver.
"If you tell me honestly, I will give you a lenient sentence."
His Majesty's authority was so great that Luo Shi was so frightened that she trembled all over. When she was frightened, she started to speak inconsistently. Even if she refused to admit it later, she still couldn't hold back and confessed everything after the Lord tortured her.
Qian's mother did not expect that her son was beaten to death by a woman. After Qian Yufeng got a little older, he refused to talk about his own affairs at home. It was only then that Qian's mother knew the cause and effect of her son's beating.
In fact, the Qian family didn't really want to trouble the adults. They all vaguely knew about Qian Yufeng's mischief outside. Since he was gone, they all guessed that Qian Yufeng had offended someone and provoked others to retaliate. But Shen Jia
Yu insisted on filing a complaint and quickly invited the mayor to keep an eye on him. They wanted to collect the body but it was already too late.
They only regretted that they were not quick enough, causing the death of everyone in Qian Yufeng, and ruining the family's reputation.
He went to humiliate a talented lady, what was going through his mind?
People will subconsciously excuse themselves. They have always believed that it was Luo who instigated him, otherwise Qian Yufeng would never have such an idea.
The Qian family came forward to accuse Luo Shi, saying that she was the culprit.
"Things didn't work out, but you got so much money. Where did the money come from?"
Mr. Hu originally wanted to take his son back to the city, but after the murder happened, he thought he couldn't wait. After investigating, he found out that the matter was related to Luo Shi. He felt a little uneasy at the moment. He didn't feel at ease knowing that he was gone, so he
She just let it flow, and now she was outside the crowd. When she heard the adults asking these questions, she felt frightened.
Luo Shi has already confessed, so naturally she will not hide anything about this matter. At this moment, if she can pull one off, she is not the culprit, and she can be given a lighter sentence.
"Master Hu asked me to do it. He didn't like Shen Jiayu as his daughter-in-law. He wanted to slander her as having a lover, and then divorce her as a matter of course..."
"Nonsense!" Mr. Hu couldn't sit still: "I didn't say such things."
He didn't actually say it, just hinted it.
Luo Shi said plausibly: "Since it has nothing to do with you, why did you give me so much money later?"
Mr. Hu opened his mouth and came: "I saw that you, mother and daughter, were pitiful at the hands of my daughter-in-law, and wanted to settle the matter, so I helped you."
This makes sense. Rich families are all about saving face. If Shen Jiayu, the daughter-in-law of the Hu family, forces people into a desperate situation, it will be easy to say or not.
Luo Shi: "..."
Her face was filled with grief and anger: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have harmed Shen Jiayu, nor would I have gone to Qian Yufeng, nor would I have enmity with him and have him come to my door..." If he hadn't come to her, she wouldn't have.
If you act impulsively and kill him, you won't be in this situation now.
But Mr. Hu really didn’t tell her to do those things!
At this point, the truth has come to light, and Luo Shi was put in shackles by the Yamen in front of everyone. She murdered the scholar's wife in front of her, and killed her in the back. Even the queen could not wait, and she would be executed immediately after being taken back to the Yamen.
.
The beheading was a beheading, and not even the whole body could be left alive. Luo was frightened and frightened, and rushed towards the stone beside him, intending to kill him. The official was shocked.
Unfortunately, Luo Shi was wearing a shackle and was unable to hit the stone with all her strength. Her head was bruised and bloody, but she was still fine. When she tried to hit it again, the Yamen had already stepped forward to hold her back.
Luo Shi was particularly desperate. She didn't want to die. She didn't want to die, and she didn't know who to beg. Finally, she looked at Chu Yunli: "Please let me go...I beg you..."
An adult intervened, but it was useless to beg anyone. Even Gouwa was found, taken with her family, and sent to the county to be imprisoned. How could she escape unscathed?
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Gui's threat to Luo Shi was also revealed. At the end of his anger, Luo Shi was like a mad dog, biting anyone he caught.
Jiang Gui said that he had been deceived by this woman for many years. Luo Shi also said that Jiang Gui intended to insult her daughter and blackmail her for money. In the end, Jiang Gui was unable to escape and was put in shackles.
When the master left, everyone was still unfinished.
Mr. Hu's face was ashen. He did not explicitly ask Luo Shi to do those things, so he was able to get away. But he knew in his heart that no matter what he did in the future, adults would keep a close eye on him. This was not a good thing for a businessman.
.
He was thinking about donating a sum of money to build bridges and pave roads and improve the Hu family's status in adults' minds.
After the matter was settled, Chu Yunli and Jiang Jixiao went to the city together. This was Master Hu's wish. They followed the adults and eliminated all the dangers on the road.
Also, if adults can't be safe on the road, how can they still survive in this world?
The master did not stop them from following, and they buried pots to make rice on the way. Mr. Hu even ran to join a partnership with someone. The master acquiesced to the matter, and he was determined. He thought that when he returned, he would ask the Yamen if there was any place where he could be used.
It is good to lose money and eliminate disasters.
Chu Yunli didn't show up much, while Jiang Gui and Luo Shi were already disgusted with each other and ignored each other at all.
How can this work?
On this day, it was time to eat again. Chu Yunli handed the child to Jiang Jixiao and went to get the food.
They ate the same as adults, while the yamen ate slightly worse. But prisoners such as Luo Shi and Jiang Gui only ate steamed buns, leftovers from the day before. It had a bit of a sour taste, but it would never kill anyone. Chu
When Yunli passed by, she pretended to just find out and approached Jiang Gui: "Is this what you want to eat?"
Jiang Gui saw the two dishes and one soup she was holding in her hand. Although it was not very good, it was rare to be able to be so meticulous while on the road. He was thick-skinned and said angrily: "Are you willing to honor me?"
"As I said before, after you get ten taels of silver, don't say any words of kindness or unkindness again." Chu Yunli said plausibly: "Actually, this person is all about feelings. If you had been good to the child's father,
Point, even if you break off the relationship, he will not ignore you. Who knows what you were thinking at that time?"
Jiang Gui: "..." What else can you think?
He had his own biological child, and he didn't pay attention to his adopted son at all. If he hadn't been afraid of being blamed by Jiang Jixiao's relatives after driving him out, he would not have cared about his life or death.
At this moment, he truly believed that he had been misled by Luo Shi. If this woman hadn't kept saying that Yue'er was his daughter, he would have calmed down and taught his adopted son well, and he wouldn't be in the current situation.
With these thoughts running through his mind, he scolded Luo Shi in his heart, and said with a shy smile: "Daughter-in-law, I know I was wrong..."
Chu Yunli snorted coldly and walked away.
Jiang Gui: "..."
As soon as he turned around, he met Luo Shi's mocking gaze.
Luo Shi thought that he wouldn't live for a few days, so he risked his life. Anyway, the two of them were already at odds, and immediately sneered: "You are using others as a straw, and you still want others to help you take care of you in old age. How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?"
Jiang Gui was so angry that he rushed over and hit her on the head with the shackles: "I asked you to laugh. Damn it, if it weren't for you, how could I be a prisoner?"
Naturally, Luo Shi would not accept the beating obediently, and the two of them instantly struggled with each other.
The officer was having a meal, and when he saw that there was trouble, he was very unhappy. They were both criminals anyway, so he took off the whip from his waist and hit the two of them.
The person with his back to the Yamen must be at a disadvantage. The two of them hugged each other and rolled around, hoping that the other person would carry them off. The more this happened, the harder the Yamen beat them. By the time they stopped, both of them were covered in injuries.
There were blood stains on his clothes, let alone fighting, it was hard to even breathe.
Even though they were injured like this, the two of them could not get into the carriage and continued to be dragged away.
Jiang Gui was filled with resentment. He couldn't deal with Jiang Jixiao and his wife, so he looked for opportunities to deal with Luo Shi.
Luo Shi naturally wanted to fight back, and once the two of them started fighting, they would be punished again. When they entered the city gate three days later, the two of them were already dying.
On the day of Luo's execution, there was lightning and thunder in the sky and heavy rain, but Chu Yunli still insisted on going.
When Luo Shi saw her, he was very excited. Before a condemned prisoner left, he could say a few words to his relatives and friends. Luo Yue'er never showed up from beginning to end, and apart from this daughter, Luo Shi had no one else who was willing to see her off.
His close relative.
Chu Yunli slowly approached, and Luo Shi took the lead: "I have already suffered retribution, what else do you want?"
"You deserve it." Chu Yunli said with a cheerful smile on her face: "I don't do anything, I just watch you die. In other words, you love your daughter so much, you plan everything for her, and you don't hesitate to risk your own life.
Life and reputation, in the end..." She looked around and said, "I didn't even come."
It would be a lie to say that Luo Shi had no complaints in her heart. Although Luo Yue'er was a drag, she stayed with her and never suffered any hardships in food and clothing. She also came to the county seat several times... The town is a direct route to the county seat.
If my daughter is willing, she can definitely come and see her off on her last carriage.
Seeing the resentment in Luo Shi's eyes, Chu Yunli continued: "Speaking of which, if she doesn't come to help you collect your body, after you die, you will be thrown into a mass grave, and there won't even be anyone to worship you. It's so desolate.
"
"Stop talking." Luo Shi screamed, and then began to abuse his daughter: "That heartless thing will definitely not end well..."
Luo Shi left with resentment in the end. Before leaving, his eyes widened.
Chu Yunli watched the knife fall from his hand, then slowly turned around.
Jiang Gui was sentenced to three years and will be ignored for the time being.
This time the couple arrived in the city and were taken directly back to the house by Mr. Hu. The courtyard was changed and there were about ten more people serving around them. They seemed to be the serious masters of the Hu house.
Chen Nianhu and his wife were still in the same courtyard as before, with no changes at all. Regarding this, the two of them were secretly worried. Mrs. Kou was going to give birth in the past few days. Po Wen asked her to only walk around in the courtyard and not wander around at all, so as not to be caught by others.
collision.
Mrs. Kou was too anxious to care.
When Chu Yunli went to pay her respects on the third morning after she settled in, he met her on the way back.
"Sister-in-law."
Chu Yunli looked at her huge belly and said, "Stay away from me and walk slower."
Mrs. Kou smiled: "I am a girl who grew up in the village, and I am not so squeamish. When my mother was pregnant with me, she had been working in the mountains. I was born in the fields." She tilted her head and asked tentatively.
: "Sister-in-law, what happened when dad went to Linglong Town?"
Why do I treat you so well when I come back?
She didn't ask the last sentence, but Chu Yunli already understood what she meant. In fact, no one with any brain would ask this question.
Mr. Hu didn't like Jiang Jixiao at first because he didn't show much happiness about recognizing his relatives after he came back. Instead, he seemed to avoid it. Mr. Hu was used to being proud. How could he stand this? Give them a
It was reasonable to teach them a lesson and let them live in a side courtyard, deliberately promoting Chen Nianhu to suppress them. However, when it came time to choose the head of the family, there was no comparison between Chen Nianhu and Jiang Jixiao.
Not to mention that Jiang Jixiao was a scholar, but only because of his love. Mr. Hu felt indebted to Jiang Jixiao's biological mother, while Chen Nianhu was only born to his maid.
Chu Yunli didn't care about the difference in status, and didn't think that Jiang Jixiao was necessarily nobler than Chen Nianhu, but others wouldn't think so. At least, Mr. Hu never thought of handing over the family business to Chen Nianhu, otherwise, he would also
I won’t abandon my business and go to Linglong Town to pick up people in person.
Chu Yunli avoided the important and took the easy: "Something happened. Many people bullied us. My father helped teach us a lesson."
Mrs. Kou noticed that the baby in her belly was moving. The closer she got to the day of delivery, the more uncomfortable she felt. She subconsciously reached out and touched her belly and said, "I heard that my sister-in-law is very powerful. She gave birth to the baby at home alone.
I'm not that strong. I don't know if it's because I have a lot of money but my body is fragile. I can't sit or stand these past two days. I feel uncomfortable..."
Chu Yunli didn't want to listen to her complaints. The pain of giving birth was not something that only the Kou family had. To put it bluntly, if Chen Nianhu hadn't happened to be Jiang Jixiao's blood brother, the two would never have known each other in this life.
"I have to go back and see Guangzong, let's take a step first."
Guangzong is the name Mr. Hu gave his child, and it has been listed in the family tree.
After hearing this, Mrs. Kou felt a layer of jealousy in her heart. The child she gave birth to was the oldest among the Hu family's grandchildren. It has not yet been included in the family tree, let alone the honor of being named by Mr. Hu himself.
It was a hot summer day, and Chu Yunli and Jiang Jixiao went out of the city early in the morning, with the child in her arms obediently.
It was probably because Shen Jiayu was gone. Jiang Jixiao valued this child very much. No matter how busy he was, he would take time to hug him every day. At this moment, he looked at the child and said, "Are you tired? I'll give him a hug."
Chu Yunli handed it over unceremoniously: "I will take him to see Master Qingbai later."
Jiang Jixiao was silent for a moment: "Okay."
The nunnery was receiving female guests. Chu Yunli came to the door but was not stopped. She bluntly said that she wanted to find Master Qingbai.
She was taken to the courtyard at the back to wait. The courtyard was elegant and neat. Although there were no precious flowers and plants, it was neatly maintained. She didn't stand for long when footsteps came from behind her.
Chu Yunli turned around and saw the woman in front of her who was about thirty years old. She was dressed in plain clothes, which made her look even more fair and beautiful. However, her expression was indifferent, which made it difficult for anyone to think of blasphemy. She bowed slightly: "Donor."
Speaking of which, this is Shen Jiayu's mother-in-law. Chu Yunli smiled and handed over the piece of letter paper she received: "My husband and I received this. Is it the master's handwriting?"
Qingbai took a look and said, "No."
Chu Yunli was a little surprised. She really thought it was from Jiang Jixiao's mother-in-law.
"The poor nun is a foreigner. He no longer cares about the worldly affairs. The poor nun has long forgotten what happened back then."
Chu Yunli frowned: "After receiving this letter, our family of three followed Mr. Hu back. Are you saying that someone deliberately misled me?"
"Probably not." Qingbai smiled bitterly: "Probably an old friend from back then."
Chu Yunli thought thoughtfully, but every young lady will have people around her to serve her. Qingqing was completely heartbroken and escaped into Buddhism. But the people around her are still there, and there must be people who are not worthy of her.
"Then, I'm taking the liberty of coming, so please don't blame me, Master."
She said, holding the child and turning around.
"Wait!" Qingbai stepped forward and placed the prayer beads in her hand on the child in her arms: "After all, I can't help his father, I owe him."
Chu Yunli blinked. She had heard Mrs. Hu talk about what happened back then. When Qing Qing found out that she had been deceived, it was still early before giving birth. At that time, she had already given up on Mr. Hu. She really didn't want to have children, so she could just act like that.
She drank the abortion pill, but she still gave birth... For an unmarried woman, this could almost ruin her life.
"His father didn't blame you. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't accept male guests, he would have wanted to come and see you. However, he was afraid of disturbing you."
Qingbai smiled bitterly, waved his hand, turned and left without saying a word.
Chu Yunli appeared outside the nunnery with her child in her arms. She immediately saw Jiang Jixiao spinning her Buddha's hand in circles. Almost as soon as she appeared, he came forward to greet her: "How?"
"It's not a letter she sent." Chu Yunli said thoughtfully: "The people around her should be sad."
Jiang Jixiao frowned: "Let's go down the mountain first."
Because he couldn't come in, Chu Yunli didn't even have a vegetarian meal. Although he brought snacks, they were not serious meals after all.
On the way back, Jiang Jixiao was quite silent: "I want to find the person who sent the letter."
"If you don't actively take over the position of head of the family, she is likely to appear again." Chu Yunli yawned. She got up too early. She had to take care of the child at night, so she was a little sleepy at the moment.
Jiang Jixiao looked at her appearance and said apologetically: "If you can't survive it, why not give the child to me."
Chu Yunli snorted softly: "You have to study during the day, so I don't dare to delay you." Especially after returning to the Hu Mansion, there were more chores than in the town, which would also delay his time during the day.
Jiang Jixiao was silent: "You really want me to take the imperial examination and become an official?"
"It's not me." Chu Yunli yawned again, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Jiang Jixiao's expression was complicated and difficult to describe.
After the carriage went down the mountain, Chu Yunli woke up. Jiang Jixiao tentatively said: "We still need a wet nurse and let her sleep in your outside room at night."
"No need." The two of them had just returned home, and their foundations were not yet deep. Chu Yunli couldn't believe that those who were new to the country would be hard to guard against if they were bribed to do something to their children.
When Jiang Jixiao saw her refusal, he didn't force it: "Then, I will take more time to help you share the burden in the future. If you can use me in any way, just ask me."
Before he finished speaking, the carriage stopped.
Chu Yunli opened the curtain and saw an old woman with gray hair and a stooped figure standing by the roadside. She was holding a basket and looked past her and fell on Jiang Jixiao.
"Is something wrong?"
The old woman didn't answer, but tears gradually filled her eyes as she looked at Jiang Jixiao.
Chu Yunli thought thoughtfully: "Did you send him to the village in the first place?"
The old woman came back to her senses, nodded and said, "You and the second master look very similar."
The second master she mentioned should be Jiang Jixiao's uncle.
Chu Yunli looked around and said, "This is not the place to talk. You come up first. I remember there is a tea shed in front."
"I opened the tea shed." The old woman wiped her tears and said, "You go first, I will come back later."
The two waited in the tea shed for a quarter of an hour before the old woman arrived belatedly. Her eyes were redder than before.
Chu Yunli asked curiously: "Does his father have any other relatives?"
"There is only one second master left, but the second master was weak in the past few years and couldn't take care of it." The old woman poured a bowl of crude tea for the two of them and said: "It was the girl's idea to send the young master to the village, and the money was the girl's idea.
All private rooms.”
Chu Yunli took out the letter paper again: "Is this from you?"
The old woman nodded: "Yes! Everything owned by the Hu family should be given to the young master, because Hu Tu said at the beginning that he was devoted to the girl and was willing to give everything he had. Since he gave everything he had, then he would give the family property to the girl's child.
, it’s just reasonable.”
When she said this, her face was full of resentment: "Hu Tu is really too much. He obviously has a wife and concubines at home, but he still wants to deceive the girl. Who does he look down on? If the girl hadn't met him, she wouldn't have been lonely all her life.
Qingdeng Ancient Buddha... The girl grew up pampered and pampered. She was served by others when eating and drinking. But when she got to the nunnery, she had to do everything by herself. She even went to the kitchen to cook for others... The girl had never eaten like this before.
All this suffering is caused by that man. The girl is generous and willing to let it go, but I don't want to."
Jiang Jixiao looked at her with a complicated expression for a moment.
The woman in front of him was kind to him. Let's put it this way, if her biological mother had not been so loyal to the person she entrusted to her after giving birth to the child, even if he had not been strangled to death, the Jiang family would not have received so much.
silver.
If Jiang Gui had not received a large amount of money, he would not have thought of sending him to study. If he had not studied, he and Chen Nianhu would be the same. Mr. Hu would not treat him differently, even if he was chosen in the end.
Being the head of the household also requires his efforts.
"Anyway, you don't have to be polite. Just accept whatever the Hu family gives you. It's all what he owes to the girl."
Jiang Jixiao went to the nunnery and was not able to see his mother-in-law, but he saw the mother-in-law who served her mother-in-law. But this matter could not be hidden from Mr. Hu.
That night, Mr. Hu came over.
"Have you met Hongying?"
Hongying was the old woman during the day. Jiang Jixiao nodded: "If possible, I would like to find a place to settle her." Hongying was married when she was young, but her life was not good and she was widowed early.
After that, he stayed by his mother's side and was loyal to her.
"It should be." Mr. Hu sighed: "If it weren't for her, it wouldn't be so easy for you two to give birth to you smoothly. She was the one who gave you birth in the village. Of course, the person she entrusted to her was not that reliable."
Jiang Jixiao did not blame Hongying for sending him to the Jiang family. Jiang Gui was indeed not a good person, but he was also not very courageous. After taking the money, he honestly raised him.
He curiously asked: "Did you know about my birth?"
Mr. Hu glanced at him: "I found out later that I couldn't find you. If I had known earlier, I would never have let you suffer like that. If you were by my side, you would have been enlightened early, maybe a few years earlier.
Passed the exam to be a scholar. I don’t mention these anymore, I regret mentioning them. I just want to make it up to you now. In this way, even though you are a scholar and you are unlikely to do business yourself in the future, you still need to read the account books to avoid being fooled.
.Studying is certainly important, but this matter is also very important. Having too many skills is not a burden."
Jiang Jixiao frowned. Shen Jiayu wanted him to take the imperial examination and become an official. He wanted to study hard and had to find time to take care of his children. How could he have time to read the account books? Just as he was about to refuse, he noticed someone tugging on his sleeve.
The direction is... Shen Jiayu.
He immediately had an idea: "I concentrate on studying and don't want to be contaminated by these copper-smelling things. In this way, let Jiayu learn from you. She is very smart and will definitely learn it soon."
Mr. Hu's face darkened: "She is a female prostitute..." It's not that he looks down on women, there are some strange women in the city who can make a prosperous business without relying on men to show their faces. However, he doesn't want his daughter-in-law
He is such a person. Also, Shen Jiayu came from a small place, and he really didn't like such a daughter-in-law. His previous plan failed, so he temporarily stopped thinking about it, but it didn't mean that he was really willing to recognize this daughter-in-law.
Jiang Jixiao interrupted him: "Jiayu is the child my wife gave birth to for me. Unless I die, I will never leave her in this life. We are dependent on each other and have a deep relationship. My father looks down on her.
underestimate me."
Mr. Hu was simply furious.
There are many good women in this world, and there are certainly some who are prettier than Shen Jiayu. Wouldn't it be good to marry a lady from a wealthy family?
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "Father still wants to change you to a wife. In the town before, Luo Hongye came to harm me and got another sum of money. Father said he didn't want to see me force my life, but what is the truth?
I know it in my heart."
Mr. Hu's eyelids twitched. After experiencing so many things, he agreed with his son's words: Shen Jiayu is a very smart woman.
"Come to the study tomorrow and I'll find a woman who knows how to settle accounts to teach you."
Chu Yunli smiled and thanked her.
Chu Yunli was able to do things like looking at the account books easily. Shen Jiayu's family was originally in business, and she only knew a little bit. But even if Chu Yunli was a plenary meeting, Jiang Jixiao knew the inside story. The two were now in the same boat, and he
I won't expose her.
Therefore, half a day later, the female steward ran to Mr. Hu for a reply.
"Madam is good at it herself. She can settle accounts faster than a slave and has sharp eyes."
On the other side, Mrs. Kou learned that Chu Yunli had gone to learn how to calculate accounts, and Mr. Hu personally sent someone to teach him. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. This step is slow, but every step is slow!
She only regretted that her mother's family was too poor and did not teach her to read. Otherwise, she could also learn.
Even if you don't know how to read, you can still learn it from scratch. Kou did as he said and went directly to the outer study room to ask for a meeting with Mr. Hu.
"Father, my daughter-in-law also wants to see the account book."
Mr. Hu: "..."
He had tried it a long time ago. Neither Chen Nianhu nor his wife could read a single word, and they both wanted to be comfortable. He didn't want Kou to learn anything, but he was still afraid that Mr. Chen would teach Chen Nianhu how to read. As a result, Chen Nianhu
I sleep all morning every day, eat four or five times a day, take naps, and take care of my children. I can't calm down to practice calligraphy. After studying for so long, I can only recognize a few dozen characters.
If it were a child, the progress would be very fast. But Chen Nianhu is already a father. If he studies this way, he may not be able to learn anything in his life.
Not to mention Kou, with such a big belly, she might give birth at any time. What a fool!
"You give birth to the child well and let the child learn well in the future."
Kou: "..." Does this mean you have no intention of teaching her at all?
In other words, in Mr. Hu's heart, she and Shen Jiayu were completely different.
