Mrs. Kou was unwilling to give in. She felt anxious and felt a pain in her stomach. In fact, her stomach had been cramping from time to time since last night. She had given birth to a child before and knew that in this case, she would give birth soon.
She lowered her eyes and waited for the pain to pass. She wanted to fight for herself, but Mr. Hu was already impatient: "Go back, come here if you have nothing to do. This is not the place you should be."
Mrs. Kou added another layer of discomfort. Shen Jiayu could come here to learn how to settle accounts, but she didn't deserve to be there. If this continued, the children of the two families would be as different as clouds and mud when they grow up.
They are also from the Hu family, so why should the children she gave birth to be inferior to others?
Mrs. Kou slowly turned around, but refused to go back to the yard. She endured the pain and stood by the roadside, and waited for another half an hour, her stomach falling more and more. Just when she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to give up her thoughts and go back to the yard,
But he saw a slender figure walking out of the study room.
coming!
Ms. Kou stepped forward with a smile: "Sister-in-law, can you do me a favor?"
Chu Yunli saw her pale face and the sweat on her forehead and asked curiously: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Mrs. Kou didn't answer the question: "Sister-in-law is learning how to calculate accounts, and I want to learn it too, but my father is not willing. Can sister-in-law help me to beg for mercy?"
"Not very good." Chu Yunli looked her up and down: "You are about to give birth, this is not the time to learn anything. When you give birth to the baby..."
"Are you afraid that I can learn better than you! You are jealous of our father's love!" Kou's voice was sharp, and his face was a little ferocious. The more he spoke, the closer he got.
Chu Yunli took two steps back and didn't touch her at all.
"You don't want to blame me for the premature birth, do you?" Chu Yunli narrowed his eyes: "Speaking of which, your belly can't wait at all. Grandma Wen will know it when she touches it. It's better not to hold on here.
"
Kou didn't believe it.
When this child lands, it is all determined by fate. No one can control it except God. How can Po Wen have that ability?
She took out a dagger and rushed forward.
Chu Yunli frowned and turned sideways to avoid it.
But after Kou missed it, he fell directly to the ground, holding his stomach and his face full of pain, screaming: "Shen Jiayu wants to harm my child!"
Chu Yunli was quite speechless, this plan was too clumsy.
Mr. Kou's last sentence was so loud that Mr. Hu in the study heard it. When he went out, he was lying on the ground, his body already wet.
The Hu family was small and they didn't have many children. He immediately ordered: "Go and ask Mrs. Wen and the doctor to come over." He also ordered: "Hurry up and move people into the house."
No one else was allowed to enter the study room outside, but at this moment, Mr. Hu was willing to let Ms. Kou go in to give birth, which shows that he valued this child.
Mrs. Kou naturally knew some of the rules of the house after she came here. Seeing that she had won such an honor, she looked at Chu Yunli with a bit of pride.
Chu Yunli secretly sighed in her heart, Mrs. Kou wanted to frame her even if she had a child in her belly. She was so courageous, wasn't she afraid of something happening?
With the skilled steady women and doctors standing by, it would be difficult for anything to happen. Kou had already been in motion for a while, and she had given birth to a baby before. Half an hour later, a strange baby's loud cry came from the room.
Voice.
"Congratulations, sir, mother and son are safe."
The servants congratulated each other, and Mr. Hu also had a smile on his face. After seeing the child, he had time to ask about the situation just now.
"Why did she fall?"
Chu Yunli was not in a hurry to explain when she gave birth. After hearing Master Hu's question, she said: "She wanted to hurt me... maybe she wanted to pretend that I had caused premature birth. Father, I didn't touch him from beginning to end.
She, everyone who was here just now can testify."
Kou said differently: "Shen Jiayu did it on purpose. She showed off her father's importance to her in front of me, and said that after becoming the mistress of the house, she would drive my children out to beg for food... Wuwuwu...
…Father, you have to make the decision for us!”
When Chen Nianhu heard these words, his face looked very ugly: "Father, if you don't like us, you can send us home. Don't let us be despised and slandered here."
Chu Yunli blinked but did not speak.
Mr. Hu looked at Po Wen: "Is there a premature birth?"
Po Wen shook his head: "Start it normally. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so smooth."
Kou: "..."
She swallowed, but she didn't expect Po Wen to really see it.
I can't tell, but it's because Wen Po has little experience and is not good at craftsmanship. In the small place where Kou was born, Wen Pos are all half-skilled and only know how to deliver babies. In some families, the mother-in-law or the sister-in-law who has given birth to a child is even the one who delivers the baby.
Mr. Hu looked ugly: "Do you want to go back to the village?"
Chen Nianhu: "..."
What he said was angry!
"Father, they bully people too much. I am not as smart as my elder brother, and I am not as lucky as him to have studied for many years. I should be bullied by them, but they can bully me, but they must not bully my wife and children."
Mr. Hu nodded: "Since you care about your wife and children so much, you should take them back to the village."
Chen Nianhu suddenly became anxious: "Father! You are partial!"
"I'm just biased." Mr. Hu said bluntly: "If you are smart and can really frame others, I will still look down on you. But look, what are you doing?" He turned to look at the steward:
"I will give him two hundred taels of silver later. After the child is washed, I will find a carriage to take the family back to the village."
Chen Nianhu was dumbfounded.
Kou said anxiously: "Father, I know I was wrong!"
Mr. Hu said in a cold voice through the door: "You don't even care about your own bloodline, and you risk letting it get into trouble to frame others. I can't tolerate people who are so contemptuous and indifferent to human life!"
This was just a reproach on the surface. In fact, Chu Yunli knew in his heart that Mr. Hu was not a good person at all. He had definitely done a lot of things to frame others. He was just a smart man and had not missed any clues. What really annoyed him was
Mr. Kou's temper... to put it harshly, he doesn't even care about the life or death of his own children. If he really has his evil thoughts, he will only treat Guangzong even more harshly.
The child is still so young, and there will always be times when he cannot be taken care of. There are not many children in the family, and he cannot afford to lose any of them. In the past, the brothers ended up turning against each other, so it was better to separate them as soon as possible. Anyway, he never wanted to hand over the family business from the beginning to the end.
into the hands of Chen Nianhu.
Since the two brothers will have to separate their homes sooner or later and let Chen Nianhu move out, it would be better to do it sooner. At least, there will still be some blood-based affection between the brothers and they will not target each other.
After Mr. Hu made up his mind, no one could make him change his mind. Three days later, Chen Nian and the Hu family really disappeared from the house.
It's because he acted quickly, otherwise Chu Yunli is not a good-tempered person. She can tolerate Kou's provocation once or twice, but if he really keeps asking for trouble, she will definitely fight back.
After sending the person away, Mr. Hu also had a deep talk with Jiang Jixiao. The general idea was that Chen Nian and the Hu family would rarely come back in their lifetimes, so they could no longer cause him any trouble, and asked him to take care of this nominal brother when the time came.
Jiang Jixiao didn't take these words to heart at all.
His mind was not at home, and he concentrated on studying.
Mrs. Hu saw all this in her eyes. In fact, after hearing that Mr. Hu wanted to send Chen Nianhu away, she ran to persuade him.
She really didn't like Chen Nianhu, who spoke and acted imprudently. Secretly, she wanted Jiang Jixiao to take over the family business so that she could get a share of the pie, but she was also not happy to see Jiang Jixiao's family dominate.
It would be best if the two brothers are fighting fiercely, and if she helps out, Jiang Jixiao will definitely be grateful to her... With Chen Nianhu gone, Jiang Jixiao has become the confirmed next head of the family, what else can she do?
?
She tried to persuade the man, but it was in vain, and she was scolded for talking too much. Originally, Mr. Hu insisted on sending Chen Nianhu away and chose Jiang Jixiao as the head of the family long ago, so it was okay.
But what concerned her was that Shen Jiayu was learning to keep accounts, and she heard that he was doing well. If Shen Jiayu succeeded in learning, what would happen to her in the future?
She only wanted to let her nephew take over the family business and respect her in the future. If Jiang Jixiao and his wife caught him, what would she do?
This won't work.
So Mrs. Hu came to find Chu Yunli.
Chu Yunli could guess a lot about Mrs. Hu's thoughts. She learned from Hongying that Master Qingbai suddenly learned that she had been deceived by her lover. She was so sad that she did not want to become a monk.
It was Mrs. Hu who said all kinds of unpleasant things that made Qin Qing unbearable.
Moreover, Hongying also said that if she had not innocently cared about her unborn child, she would have died.
Words can sometimes be more hurtful than weapons. Chu Yunli didn't want to seek justice for her innocence, but she just didn't like Mrs. Hu's temperament. When she saw people coming, her expression was dull and she didn't order anyone to serve tea.
The servants in the yard thought it was inappropriate and immediately brought tea and snacks.
Mrs. Hu looked her up and down: "You have been very busy these past two days, and you can't even take care of your children, right?"
"Just look at the account books. You can learn as much as you want. I will take care of the children myself." Chu Yunli said seriously: "If Madam wants to persuade me to give up the account books, it's better not to speak as soon as possible. They say that you will learn until you are old.
My husband only wants to take the imperial examination and become an official. If I don’t know anything, I will not be worthy of him sooner or later, and he will abandon me."
Mrs. Hu never expected that she would say such words. It took her a while to find her voice: "You are husband and wife, you gave birth to his eldest son, and we have known each other since we were young. He will not abandon you."
"That's not necessarily the case." Chu Yunli said plausibly: "There are many loving couples in this world who turn against each other. I don't ask him to care about me for the rest of my life. I just hope that the day he leaves me, I won't be dependent on others, even myself.
Can’t feed you.”
According to this statement, she did not learn to settle accounts to take over the Hu family's property.
Mrs. Hu didn't believe a word of it: "As a woman, it's best not to show up in public, especially since Jixiao is a scholar. If you do business... it's not good for him. This is called competing for profits with the people."
Chu Yunli said plausibly: "That's not possible. If you donate all the money you earn, no one will blame you."
Mrs. Hu: "..." I have worked hard to earn money and donate it to outsiders, so it would be better not to earn it at all.
If Shen Jiayu is a stupid person and can only learn superficially, she will not care. But Shen Jiayu learned so well that even Mr. Hu praised him a few times. Mrs. Hu would never tolerate it.
So that day, Chu Yunli noticed that there was an additional medicinal ingredient in the soup he drank every day.
It is not a highly poisonous thing. After drinking it, it will make people weaker and less energetic. This soup is unique to her, and Jiang Jixiao will not drink it. She sneered in her heart, took the soup and went to the outer study to find Mr. Hu.
.
"Father, this soup is poisonous."
Mr. Hu looked surprised and glanced at the milky white soup in her hand: "Nonsense!"
"It's true." Chu Yunli said firmly: "Madam didn't take care of the kitchen and let others take advantage of it."
Mr. Hu frowned and called for the doctor.
Chu Yunli never admits wrong medicine. After the doctor checked it carefully, he nodded: "There are indeed too many medicinal materials. Drinking this soup will make people weak. Drinking it for a long time will be harmful to life!"
Mr. Hu first sent the doctor away, and then sent someone to fetch Mrs. Hu with a livid face.
Mrs. Hu came very quickly, and her expression was as usual when she saw the soup.
Chu Yunli suspected that she had gotten the news before coming, so he took the lead and said: "Madam, I have been poisoned, can you explain it?"
"You have so many people under my command, but I don't have the sharp eyes, the head, and the six arms." Mrs. Hu said with a serious face: "You yourself have offended and been harmed by others, and yet you want to trouble me. How can it make sense?"
"In this huge Hu Mansion, someone actually dares to murder the master. You don't want to find the culprit, but you still blame me for not knowing how to behave?" Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "In my opinion, you are the one who harmed me."
Mr. Hu frowned: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"I didn't!" Chu Yunli pointed out: "She is not surprised at all that I was poisoned..."
Mrs. Hu was shocked and explained: "You don't know how to be a human being. Today will happen sooner or later. Of course I won't be surprised."
"Madam!" Mr. Hu said with a displeased look on his face: "Investigate this matter thoroughly, and we must find the culprit to scare the monkeys."
Mrs. Hu did not dare to choke and agreed.
After checking again and again, they found a little cook in the kitchen. The cook only said that she couldn't understand Shen Jiayu's good life, so she was jealous and so she killed him. Mrs. Hu sold him immediately.
At this point, the matter is finally over.
Chu Yunli didn't pursue it further.
From that day on, the mother-in-law next to Mrs. Hu recommended a health-preserving soup to her. After Mrs. Hu drank it, she sweated a lot and felt weak but relaxed. In the words of the mother-in-law, this was detoxification.
Mrs. Hu trusted her dowry and had no doubts at all. After drinking for several days, her body became weaker and weaker. One morning she couldn't get out of bed. She called someone and found that her mother-in-law was not the one waiting for her.
, after asking, I learned that the person had already taken the deed of betrayal and returned to his hometown.
She had been a housewife for many years and was not stupid. She soon suspected that there was something wrong with the soup and immediately called a doctor.
The doctor couldn't see why. Mrs. Hu was relieved, but she still stopped drinking the soup. Even so, she was still weak day by day, and later it was difficult to even stand up.
It has been half a month since Mrs. Hu drank soup. Recently, she has become weaker and weaker. She can no longer swallow dry food. She relies on drinking some soup every day to survive... Even if she only drinks soup, if she drinks too much, she will
I vomited. Within a few days, my whole body lost weight.
Mrs. Hu lived a miserable life every day. Mr. Hu came to visit her twice and asked her to take good care of her and the doctor to treat her well, which was very considerate.
However, Mrs. Hu was not satisfied with him and hoped that the man would spend more time with her or investigate the cause of her illness in more detail.
On this day, Chu Yunli was looking at the account books and heard Mr. Hu next door losing his temper.
"What can I do if I go to see a doctor when I'm sick? There's still business to do. If I wasn't in business, where would I be able to hire famous doctors everywhere I want?"
While scolding, he stood up.
Chu Yunli put down the account book and chased out.
Mr. Hu heard the movement behind him, saw her, and said, "My wife is ill. As my daughter-in-law, you should take some time to go over to the bedside to fulfill your filial piety."
"Okay!" Chu Yunli agreed immediately: "Put the account books aside for now. I won't be here for the next few days."
Hearing this, Mr. Hu looked pleased: "This is right."
The two of them went to the main courtyard one after another, and they could smell the medicinal smell permeating it before they got close. Mr. Hu felt a little uncomfortable and frowned: "I can't smell this strong medicinal smell. I can't eat for half a day after smelling it.
"
No wonder he didn't want to visit.
Mrs. Hu was so thin that she was almost human-like. When she saw Mr. Hu entering the door, her eyes lit up: "Master..."
When he spoke, his voice was extremely weak.
Mr. Hu sighed: "If you are sick, take good care of yourself and don't make trouble. I'm busy over there. Don't ask people to invite me. If you feel uncomfortable, ask the doctor to give you some medicine."
Mrs. Hu: "..." She doesn't lack doctors or medicinal materials, she just wants a man to accompany her.
"Master, I'm afraid... I won't be able to endure it anymore."
After talking about it, my voice choked up.
Mr. Hu looked displeased: "Don't say such things. I have already asked the doctor. You are just a little weak, not as good as you said."
This is also a fact. He is weak and weak. He looks very ill, but it is still far from the end of his strength.
He looked at the sky and said: "I have to go out for a while. You take good care of me. If you are bored, let Jiayu accompany you."
After saying this, he left quickly without waiting for Mrs. Hu to speak.
Mrs. Hu looked at his back longingly. When she turned around and saw Chu Yunli, she felt very irritated: "I don't need you here."
Chu Yunli nodded, turned around and left.
Mrs. Hu: "..." Isn't this a bit too neat?
Thinking of the Liang family's nephew saying that the master has already planned to hand over two of the shops at home for Shen Jiayu to practice... This is not a good thing. Instead of letting her free up her hands to do business, it is better to put people in front of her, at least until she recovers.
, Shen Jiayu never wants to get involved in business.
"Wait a minute."
Chu Yunli turned around: "Mom, do you have any other instructions?"
Mrs. Hu looked displeased: "You are the daughter-in-law, and you should stay by your side when your elders are sick. Otherwise, how will the news spread? Are you that busy? A female generation should take care of the back house and take care of her husband.
Family members, let them have no worries..."
"You look quite weak, but you can say so many words at once, so it shouldn't be a big deal." Chu Yunli left without being in a hurry, sat back on the bed again, picked up the medicine the maid had just brought, and blew it to cool it.
Then he put it to her lips: "Mom, drink the medicine."
Mrs. Hu snorted coldly, lowered her head and drank the medicine.
Chu Yunli deliberately put the bowl flat, but Mrs. Hu tried hard for a long time but couldn't drink it. She couldn't help but raised her head and yelled: "Idiot, don't you know how to lift the bowl at an angle?"
So, after hearing her words, Chu Yunli poured a bowl directly towards her head and face, and the smell of medicine filled the air instantly.
Mrs. Hu: "..."
She knew that the master didn't like the smell of medicine, so she asked someone to open the window for ventilation and light incense. After taking this bowl of medicine, the smell could not be dissipated for a long time. She suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of anger: "Shen Jiayu!
"
Chu Yunli stood up and took a step back, pretending to be apologetic: "I have never served anyone. Mother, please be more considerate."
Mrs. Hu was originally weak and hadn't eaten anything. She was so angry that her head suddenly buzzed and her vision went black. She seemed to be about to faint in the next moment. At this moment, she didn't care about embarrassing Shen Jiayu.
He refused to attend to the family business and shouted angrily: "Get out!"
"I won't get out." Chu Yunli said with great interest: "I was just wondering if the medicine that the cook gave me was the same medicine you drank. If I didn't smell the medicine at that time, it was
I won't end up with the same fate as you."
The medicine given by the cook can make people weak, but that was half a month ago. Now that the matter is mentioned in a haphazard way, Mrs. Hu always feels that something is wrong. Her family knows about her family affairs, Shen Jiayu
Where the medicine came from, no one knew better than her. Mrs. Hu felt guilty and would inevitably think too much. She raised her head and looked at the young woman in front of her suspiciously.
Shen Jiayu's face was filled with a cheerful smile, and the smile was a little weird. Mrs. Hu was so blessed that she asked, "Did you poison me?"
Chu Yunli's smile deepened: "Mom, how can I, a girl from the countryside, have such skills? Besides, in life, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense, just like when I was holding the pot of soup with added ingredients.
, I already suspected it was you, and I didn’t even ask. After all, even if it was really you, you wouldn’t admit it!”
"So you're going to poison me?" Mrs. Hu glared at her fiercely: "My illness came on strangely. I've never had it before. Even after the doctor cured it, it was as if there was no cure. You must have poisoned me. Get rid of it quickly.
Give me the medicine."
Chu Yunli looked surprised: "Mother, I see that your illness is getting worse and worse, and you have begun to suffer from hysteria. Since you don't like me, I'd better not make you angry here, so as not to make your condition worse.
As a junior, I would be very unfilial if I could not relieve your pain." She turned around and said, "Mom, take good care of yourself and get well soon..."
"Stop." Mrs. Hu was furious: "Shen Jiayu, I will tell the master and ask him to drive your family away."
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "I advise you not to say it. If you do say it, my father will definitely think that you want your nephew's family to guard such a big business."
Mrs. Hu: "..."
She had expressed this idea before, and Mr. Hu scolded her back at that time. She had to admit that Shen Jiayu's words were reasonable. If she really went to complain, Mr. Hu would not only not believe it, but he might even get angry.
As for her nephew, if she drives him away, she will really have no hope at all.
"You will not die well!"
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were alone, the servants in the house had already left. Chu Yunli had already walked to the door. Instead of leaving, she raised her hand and closed the door. When she turned around, she looked at Mrs. Hu with a look in her eyes.
It was a profound and meaningful statement: "I advise you to be polite to me. By the way, let your nephew go home and stop meddling in the Hu family's business."
Mrs. Hu's face was ashen: "In what capacity do you say this to me? Why should I listen to you?"
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "Unless you want to die!"
The tone is firm and confident.
Mrs. Hu opened her mouth, she was really scared. If...if her illness was really caused by Shen Jiayu, the doctor had been checking for so long but couldn't find anything, and it couldn't be cured, and Shen Jiayu
If he doesn't plan to let her go, there's no telling if she will really die one day.
He died and the culprit could not be found. He died of illness!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Hu shuddered and felt a chill in her bones.
A little later, Mrs. Hu found Mr. Hu and told her that she wanted to send her nephew back to her parents' home.
After being married for many years, Mr. Hu knew how much she valued his nephew. She really raised him as his own son. He felt strange at the moment: "Why did you make such a decision? Is someone threatening you?"
Mrs. Hu immediately wanted to tell the truth, but her life was in the hands of others and she did not dare to take the risk. She only said: "He is from my mother's family. Whether his name is right or not, he might as well go home early. He has been by my side all these years."
, his relationship with his family has become estranged, and if things continue like this, it will not be good for him."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be telling lies, Mr. Hu's expression softened: "It's all up to you."
After the people left, Chu Yunli naturally started to take over the shop. There were two shops at first, and after half a month it became four. However, Mr. Hu refused to give more.
On this day, he found Chu Yunli and said bluntly: "I taught you how to settle accounts and gave you the ability to support yourself. To be honest, I really have no intention of letting you be my daughter-in-law. Your status... you are not worthy of it."
I am the mistress of the Hu family."
Chu Yunli laughed angrily: "So, is Master Qingbai worthy?"
Mr. Hu owed that woman, but after so many years, he was no longer willing to admit that he had failed such a woman, and he was even less willing to have anyone mention this matter. His face immediately darkened: "Because of my guilt for her,
Leaving the family property in Jixiao's hands is enough to make up for it..."
"That's what you think." Chu Yunli emphasized: "She has ruined her life by you, and now she is still a Qingdeng Ancient Buddha. If you are really guilty, you should become a monk."
Mr. Hu was so angry that he lost his words: "That's nonsense!"
Chu Yunli emphasized: "I won't leave unless Jiang Jixiao personally drives me away."
Mr. Hu: "..." He has been looking for his son in private these days and wants to discuss changing his son to a wife. But no matter what he said, Jixiao was unwilling.
If he is willing, a letter of divorce will send the person back to the town, why does he need to appear here to discuss it?
He really came to discuss: "As long as you are willing to go home and let Jixiao go, those few shops now will be your dowry."
"There will be more if you stay." Chu Yunli smiled like a flower: "Jiang Jixiao is a scholar and doesn't like these copper-smelling things. As his wife, it is reasonable to help him take care of his family's finances."
Mr. Hu looked ugly: "Don't go too far."
"It's you who went too far." Chu Yunli tilted her head: "Did you sleep well last night?"
Mr. Hu: "..."
He hadn't slept well for two or three days, and he wasn't even sleepy during the day. The key was that he was exhausted and couldn't keep up his energy. The doctor couldn't find anything wrong with him, but just told him to rest more, otherwise, if he doesn't sleep for a long time,
It won't last long. When the body is exhausted, it will be dead.
Regarding the fact that he couldn't sleep well, only the people around him knew that Shen Jiayu cared about him so much?
"Just say whether you agree or not."
Chu Yunli shook his head: "I don't agree." She suggested: "I heard that people who have done something wrong can't sleep at night. In fact, you can go to a temple in the suburbs to repent. Maybe you can fall asleep.
Woolen cloth."
Mr. Hu: "..." This is impossible.
He didn't believe a word of it. But for the next two days, he still didn't fall asleep. He was already groggy and his brain was foggy. He lay on the bed with his eyes closed and couldn't fall asleep. He thought of Shen Jiayu's words again.
, in the end he let the carriage take him to the temple in the suburbs.
The county town is not big, and the nunnery and temple are on a mountain, no more than two miles apart. It is so strange that Mr. Hu fell asleep as soon as he entered the temple.
Smelling the fragrance of sandalwood, he had a good sleep and rested for two days before returning to the city.
But after returning to the city, things were the same as before. Mr. Hu suspected that he wanted to ask for sandalwood, so he bought a lot of them, but it was still the same as before. Helpless, he simply moved to a temple to live.
As soon as he entered the temple, there was nothing wrong with him. He could eat, sleep, and work. The only thing he was not used to was that he was required to be a vegetarian here and no women were allowed.
He thought that he might as well regard the temple as his home, go to the city to do business every day, and come back to sleep afterward. At most, he would cultivate his moral character for a while, and then go on to it after he had recovered his health.
He made a good plan, rested for two more days, and was about to do business. As a result, he vomited as soon as he left the temple, and his whole world was spinning. Let alone doing business, it was difficult to stand still.
After Mrs. Hu became increasingly weak, the head of the Hu family also fell ill.
Hu's family leader's illness was very strange. He was fine in the temple, but would vomit as soon as he left the temple. Later, it became so serious that he would faint and fall unconscious even ten steps away from the temple.
With such a strange disease, everyone would inevitably think that he had done something wrong and that the Buddha was punishing him by forcing him to stay in the temple to atone for his sins.
The head of the Hu family has never done anything serious wrong in his whole life, but he has done a lot of immoral things. The person who has anything to do with the temple is probably the innocent master.
People outside were talking a lot, saying that Mr. Hu had suffered retribution.
And everyone thinks that Mr. Hu is destined to be a Buddha.
Mr. Hu refused to accept his fate at first, but later he found that he could not leave the temple, and he was filled with fear. He was afraid that if he forced himself out, he would make the Buddha angry, so after thinking about it, he ordained as a monk.
He was not willing to spend the rest of his life in the temple, but if he didn't stay, he might not even be able to save his life. No matter the business, money, or even the glory of the Hu family, it was not as important as his own life.
After Mr. Hu was tonsured, Hongying learned that he did not really want to become a monk, but was forced to do so, so she bought a few firecrackers to set off, went to the nunnery again, and informed Master Qingbai of the matter.
Master Qingbai has been a monk for nearly twenty years. In the first few years, she might have been unwilling to give up, but later she really gave up. When she heard about this, she recited a Buddhist name and sent Hongying away.
After Mrs. Hu heard that her husband had such a strange disease and saw countless doctors but nothing could be done, she became completely honest.
Others may think that Mr. Hu has received retribution, but she has a different view, because she herself is suffering from a strange disease. How can anyone be so thin that there is only a handful of bones left, and only drink a few mouthfuls of soup every day, but still live well?
Shen Jiayu must have an expert around him.
She must be a clever doctor, and Mrs. Hu has accepted her fate. Fortune and wealth are not as important as her life. Anyway, she is not hungry now, so let's just live with it.
Chu Yunli spent half a year taking over the entire family business and donated most of the money in the warehouse. Roads were built everywhere in the county, and even the official road to the capital was paved. She
Many improved varieties were also introduced and distributed to the people in the county at a price that everyone could afford.
Everyone is praising Mrs. Hu's good deeds and the Hu family's generosity and kindness.
When Mr. Hu heard the news in the temple, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He wanted to stop it, but the couple didn't come to the temple at all. If he let people spread the news, it would be like nothing. The couple must have heard his instructions,
But he wasn't going to listen.
Later, Mr. Hu also gave up. Anyway, Jiang Jixiao has a bright future. As long as he is good, he will not worry about the future of the Hu family.
Jiang Jixiao devoted himself to studying, and now the two of them had no shortage of money. Chu Yunli specially hired a famous wife for him. Two years later, he won the imperial examination in one fell swoop.
In the entire county, there were only a few people to be elected. As soon as the news came out, everyone came to congratulate him one after another.
At this moment, Mrs. Hu still looked sick. Jiang Jixiao was not surprised. He was also very happy at first. After he found that Shen Jiayu's face was as usual, as if this was a very common thing, he was very happy.
Scored two points.
He focused on the book again.
Another half year later, Jiang Gui was released from prison. Generally, people who came out of prison would suffer from various diseases, and many of them could not survive the cold winter. Jiang Gui survived, but the root of the disease was also lost, cough.
Coughing, like a tuberculosis.
Jiang Gui wanted to come to Hu's house to find someone, but was beaten up. He knew the current affairs and did not dare to pester him, so he begged for food all the way back to the village.
Luo Yue'er was already married at this moment, and her husband's family was just an ordinary family in the village, relatively poor in comparison. With her reputation, no one who could find a wife would be willing to marry her.
Three years later, Luo Yue'er's beautiful appearance has gone and she has become an ordinary village woman, with rough fingers and tanned skin.
Jiang Gui didn't dare to go to Jiang Jixiao, but he dared to go to Luo Yuer. Even now, he still believes that if Luo hadn't lied to him, he would never be in this situation.
Luo Yue'er's life was difficult after she got married. It was not easy for the family to make ends meet. How could there be any money for him?
Jiang Gui tried to pester her, but was beaten up by her husband's family. When he came out of the prison, he became a street rat that everyone shouted to beat. He could only live by stealing chickens and dogs.
When someone in the Jiang family had their things stolen, they didn’t care about him, so they simply beat him up. In the following years, mentioning Jiang Gui was always abusive. In an early spring, someone found Jiang Gui dead in a ditch.
, the people were all rotten to the point of being blurred, and no one knew how long they had been dead.
When the news that Jiang Jixiao passed the Jinshi examination came back to the village, the Jiang family members hated Jiang Gui even more. They originally had their own share of this honor, but now they can only listen to it.
When Luo Yue'er heard that Shen Jiayu was destined to join the family, she felt a little dazed for a moment. She really felt that the plot against Shen Jiayu happened in her previous life... However, her mother was right. She would definitely have a good life following Jiang Jixiao.
It's a pity that she didn't take Jiang Jixiao seriously at first, and when she wanted to marry him later, it was already too late.
She was in a trance when she heard the man scolding: "Why are you so dazed? Take this water and pour it out!"
Luo Yue'er turned around and picked up the water for washing her feet. Smelling the stench, she finally came to her senses.
This is her day. She must not have any intention of harming others!
If her mother hadn't harmed Shen Jiayu, with her reputation and appearance in the village, she wouldn't have married such a person even if she was blind.
