Jiang Huixin looked very afraid of men and took a few steps back.
Liu Xicai was surprised at first, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Chu Yunli ignored the quarrel between them and took a step forward: "I don't agree to the marriage you have made with my mother, and I won't marry you. It will make people laugh at you on the big day. It's best for your family to leave early."
This is the marriage."
"You are..." Liu Xicai's eyes fell on Jiang Huixin: "What is your relationship with her?"
Chu Yunli already guessed two things from Jiang Huixin's frightened look: "She is my mother."
"Oh?" Liu Xicai suddenly became interested, looked up and down Chu Yunli's eyebrows, and asked: "How old are you this year? In what month were you born?"
Behind her, Jiang Huixin turned around and ran away. Because she had not paid the fare, the driver suddenly became anxious: "Stop!"
After this roar, Jiang Huixin ran faster.
Chu Yunli didn't look over there and answered to herself: "She was born in March, she is fifteen years old this year."
Liu Xicai pondered at first, then became happy. He took out a copper plate and handed it to the driver: "Stop shouting, I will help her pay. It's just a little copper plate, what are you calling for."
After the coachman got the copper plate, he stopped chasing and packed up to turn around and leave.
"Don't worry." Liu Xicai shouted: "Go to the intersection and wait. I will send this girl back to you later. I'll give you the fare!"
The driver readily agreed and left quickly.
Liu Xicai stretched out his hand and said, "Girl, I can't explain such a big thing in one or two sentences, so you come in first."
Chu Yunli stepped into the yard and saw that there were more clotheslines in the corner than in ordinary homes. They were now full of clothes. Judging from the size, they were larger than those worn by ordinary people. They should belong to the young man who was squatting just now.
"Want to break off the engagement?" Liu Xicai asked and raised his voice, "Yu Niang, bring me a pot of tea."
Mrs. Qin brought her son back to her room and was helping him change clothes with her mother-in-law. When she heard this, she responded crisply. When she saw Chu Yunli when she went out, she felt quite uncomfortable and said, "It's such a big thing to break off the engagement, you
It doesn’t matter what you say. You have to discuss it with your parents.”
No matter how much she loves her son, in the eyes of others, she is just a fool. This is not the first time she has proposed marriage for her son, but this is the only time it has been decided, and she does not intend to compromise. Doctors say that her son's condition is
It will become heavier and heavier as we age, and we might not live to be twenty.
Five years is a long time. An ordinary person can leave many children in five years. But for a son, he has to hurry up.
The Tang family didn't care for the girl, and they were in urgent need of money. She didn't think the couple would break off the engagement.
"Go make tea." Liu Xicai urged: "I'll tell her."
After being married for many years, Mrs. Qin could tell that her man was in a particularly good mood at the moment. Her eyes fell on the young woman sitting there again. Although she was quite thin, she had the same beautiful features as her mother. She was a beautiful woman. What kind of virtue was this man?
, no one knew it better than her, and immediately reminded: "This is the fiancée decided for my son." You should restrain yourself, and don't touch anyone.
"I know." Liu Xicai waved his hand impatiently: "The flower cake you bought this morning is pretty good, take some out."
Qin: "..."
There is no shortage of money in the family, but she is not used to spending money lavishly, and she does not buy flower cakes every day. Anyway, she is not willing to give them to this woman who is unwilling to marry her son.
However, in front of outsiders, she did not dare to make a fuss and responded obediently.
When the tea was served, Liu Xicai personally took the teapot and poured it. He deliberately came closer and glanced at the neck of the girl in front of him. When he saw a small red mole under his left ear, he immediately beamed and said, "Go get the flower cake."
Mrs. Qin saw a man who never worked at home pouring tea for other women in person, looking at their necks, and laughing like this again. She became more and more angry, and looked at Chu Yunli with eyes full of evil. Because
Because she gave birth to a sick child, Liu Xicai always wanted to find another woman to have the child, but Qin felt guilty. In addition, she married into a high family and never dared to quarrel with a man on this matter. Flower cakes are used to entertain guests, usually
They were all served on plates. Mrs. Qin was in a bad mood, so she threw the whole package on the table.
Liu Xicai narrowed his eyes: "Take it and put it on a plate and bring it over."
Mrs. Qin: "...This girl is my son's fiancée. We will be a family in half a month. There is no need to be so polite."
She looked at Chu Yunli: "What do you think?"
"I make my own decisions about my marriage. If you don't want to be laughed at or talked about on your big day, you'd better cancel the engagement yourself." Chu Yunli stood up and said, "I won't drink the tea. I've already spoken.
That's it. No need to give it away."
With that said, he turned around and left.
As soon as I took a step, I heard Liu Xicai say from behind: "Little girl, don't be angry. If you want to break off the engagement, I promise you that."
Mrs. Qin was furious: "His father! This girl is my chosen daughter-in-law, and the betrothal gift has been paid!"
"We haven't settled the matter yet. We just need to get back the betrothal gift." Liu Xicai said lightly.
Mrs. Qin was so angry that she burst into tears: "No matter how impatient you are, you can't touch everyone."
Liu Xicai sneered: "If I ask you to choose a new girl, will you understand? Anyone in the world can be your daughter-in-law, but not her!"
Based on Mrs. Qin's understanding of men, he was already angry. She looked at Chu Yunli and cursed: "You vixen..."
"Shut up!" Liu Xicai slapped the table: "Don't curse!"
In Qin's eyes, Xiaoya can take away a man's thoughts as soon as he meets her, making him scold his wife in front of outsiders because of her.
"I'm not wrong."
Liu Xicai did not attack her and said: "Where are you thinking? This girl...can't be my daughter-in-law, but she can be my daughter."
At the end, I laughed out loud.
Qin: "..."
For a moment, she thought she had heard wrong. In the past few years, because the couple's child had never known anything, many relatives and friends wanted to adopt the child to them. Occasionally, she also thought about it. She had previously thought about passing on her sister's child.
The daughter took it over and raised her. However, the man vetoed her words as soon as she said them.
Regardless of whether they are boys or girls, he does not want to raise children for others.
Why do you want to raise it again now?
Mrs. Qin looked at Chu Yunli with doubtful eyes. This girl is very good-looking, but even if she adopts her, it won't be her turn! Such blood-related heirs may not be reliable, let alone those who are not related at all.
Also, this girl is very courageous... Anyway, she has lived for thirty years, and this is the young girl who ran to her husband's house to break off the engagement when she was not satisfied with the marriage.
Liu Xicai ignored her complicated mood and looked at Chu Yunli with a smile: "Girl, I feel quite destined to you. You can move here later. I regard you as my biological daughter. Anyway, the Tang family is willing to sell you for money."
I don’t care for you at all. If you follow me, when you get married, I will give you thirty taels of silver as a dowry! If anyone dares to bully you, I will also support you."
He took care of everything and looked happy.
Chu Yunli took a step back: "Sorry, I'm not interested in finding some elders to put pressure on my head."
Mrs. Qin breathed a sigh of relief. In her opinion, Xiaoya was self-aware. She emphasized: "I advise you not to run around and say nothing about breaking off the engagement. Prepare to get married and I will treat you well...
"
"I told you, this marriage won't work!" Liu Xicai's eyes changed: "Tang... is his surname Tang, right? They will come to cancel the engagement."
The tone is firm.
The coachman was still waiting at the street corner. Liu Xicai had just paid the fare, and Chu Yunli didn't hesitate and got on the carriage directly.
As soon as I walked out of a street, I saw Jiang Huixin crying sadly on the side of the road.
Chu Yunli opened the curtain: "Do you want to go together?"
Jiang Huixin nodded, and after getting on the carriage, she said: "If the marriage doesn't work out, I'll find a way to retreat later."
Chu Yunli said nothing, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The rest of the journey was silent, and Jiang Huixin's sobs could occasionally be heard.
Returning to the Tangjia Inn, Jiang Hui felt extremely uncomfortable and went back to the kitchen to do some work without any delay.
Tang Mingshan was lighting a fire in front of the stove, and when he saw her coming in crying, he immediately frowned: "What's there to cry about? We are determined to fight this marriage, so Xiaoya can only get into the sedan chair obediently!"
Jiang Huixin was dumbfounded: "Xiaoya made a scene today, maybe they will come to the door later."
She thought carefully about it later and realized that Liu Xicai must have recognized her. So, even if he had just a little doubt about Xiaoya's life experience, the marriage would not be possible. For this kind of thing, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.
No matter how bad Liu Xicai is, he will never let his siblings get married. The marriage will definitely be cancelled.
Tang Mingshan was furious and threw the firewood in his hand: "The good daughter you gave birth to is a debt collector! I don't know what evil I did to meet such unlucky people like you."
Jiang Huixin was so frightened that she didn't dare to tell the truth anyway, so she pretended to be concentrating on her work.
Chu Yunli was about to go back to her room. When she heard the noise in the kitchen, she walked over and saw Tang Mingshan losing his temper. She folded her arms and leaned against the door frame: "This marriage shouldn't be decided."
Looking into Tang Mingshan's angry eyes, she said casually: "Mom, when I left, that person told me not to worry, saying that you would come to the house to cancel the engagement."
"Retreat!" Tang Mingshan glared at her: "It's okay to cancel the engagement, but I don't have to withdraw the money anyway."
Over there, Jiang Huixin had a look of horror on her face, and her hands that were holding the plate were shaking. When she met Chu Yunli's eyes, the plate slipped and clattered among the pile of dishes to be washed.
"What are you doing?" Tang Mingshan said irritably: "Be careful, if it breaks, you have to buy it with money."
Jiang Huixin trembled with her lips and plucked up the courage to say, "Otherwise, it's better to call off the marriage."
"Retreat?" Tang Mingshan glared at her: "What will you do to deal with that gangster then? Do you want Qinghe to be beaten, and do you want the Tang family to have no descendants?"
"No." Jiang Huixin's face was filled with tears, and she shook her head while crying.
Tang Mingshan sneered: "Anyway, I don't have any money. Xiaoya, I'm going to support you, and I just want you to marry me..."
Chu Yunli interrupted her: "It's not that I don't want to marry, it's that my mother doesn't allow me to marry!"
"She can't be her fault, you have to be sensible." Tang Mingshan said impatiently: "You don't want to live at home anyway. After you get married and have children, no one will care about you anymore. Everyone will be happy!"
"Okay!" Chu Yunli agreed.
Tang Mingshan was overjoyed.
Jiang Huixin's eyes widened, and the water droplets on her eyelashes refused to fall off. She said hoarsely: "Xiaoya, don't get married!"
"This kind of thing is not up to me." Chu Yunli looked like it had nothing to do with him.
"How can we get married like this? You are...siblings!" Jiang Huixin burst into tears.
