Mother Lin was particularly enthusiastic. Chu Yunli didn't know how a sick person could have such strength. It took a lot of effort to withdraw her hand.
She ran very fast...and was still busy.
At this moment, the yard bought by Chu Yunli had been cleaned spotlessly, and she went to the street. She had just checked Mother Lin's pulse, and she was deeply poisoned, so she had to drink the antidote quickly. The medicine Lin An'an boiled could indeed detoxify, but it would take a long time.
One point, it takes about half a year.
Xiaoya herself didn't have any medical skills, so Chu Yunli deliberately walked away to grab some medicine and bought some vegetables by the way.
She had been away for more than an hour, and when she came back her hands were full. She greeted the neighbors along the way, and when she was almost home, she saw someone squatting at the door from a distance.
Liu Xicai lived a comfortable life since he was a child. Because he inherited several shops from his ancestors, he usually did not work and hung out with those people all year round. Because of those people, generally no one dared to bully him, and he was well-informed.
, all the noisy things inside and outside the city are briefly discussed.
But he never expected that one day he would hear news about his daughter from outsiders.
Some people say that Xiaoya bought a house here and bought a lot of furniture and moved it in that day. She has a lot of money. It doesn't look like she is a pitiful little girl. Liu Xicai thought he had recognized the wrong person, but he had such a good nose and eyes that he couldn't help but not believe it. Besides, this girl
If he didn't come back for two or three days, he would have to look for someone.
When they arrived at the place, the door was closed. Liu Xicai asked the neighbors and found out that the person who had just bought the yard was indeed the granddaughter of the Jiang family, and that she was also having trouble with the Jiang family.
This is correct.
Liu Xicai watched for a while, his legs were sore, and he didn't want to wait any longer. He asked his neighbor about Xiaoya's whereabouts, but he didn't know anything about it. He waited patiently for a long time, and he had the urge to kick in the door and go into the house to wait.
He had been squatting for a long time, and he wanted to go back and come back tomorrow, but finally he saw Xiaoya coming back.
Seeing the man holding large and small bags in his hands, obviously looking like he was going home, Liu Xicai asked curiously: "Did you really buy this yard?"
Chu Yunli nodded: "This is my home, what are you doing here?"
"I'm worried about you." Liu Xicai had been waiting for so long, and his enthusiasm was dampened by his daughter's coldness: "I didn't agree to you moving out. This yard is here, you and I
Go home, the little girl will be bullied if she lives alone. You said, if someone climbs over the wall in the middle of the night...ah!"
The last sound was a scream.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Yunli knocked him down and stepped on his shoulders: "If anyone dares to climb over the wall and come in, I will remove his legs."
Liu Xicai: "..." This girl is so fierce!
However, he likes it!
The people he associates with outside are all those who talk about brotherhood and loyalty, and the gangsterism in his daughter really reflects his temper.
"As expected of my daughter." He endured the pain in his shoulder and smiled so hard that his teeth came out: "But you still can't live alone."
Chu Yunli let him go and took the key to open the door.
Liu Xicai could see that his daughter didn't listen to his words at all, and she didn't seem to want to go home with him. He frowned: "This woman lives alone. Even if no one dares to bully you, gossip is inevitable."
"It has nothing to do with you." Chu Yunli didn't even look back.
Liu Xicai was annoyed: "I am your father, why does it have nothing to do with me?"
"I don't have a father!" Chu Yunli put down the things in her hands, went to the kitchen to take out the newly bought medicine jar, filled it with water and soaked the medicinal materials: "If you want a daughter, look for it elsewhere."
"If I want to recognize my daughter, all I have to do is spread the word, and the whole street will be lined up in less than half a day!" Liu Xicai followed her into the yard, thinking that there is a difference between men and women. Even if he is his biological father, others don't know, and he is afraid that
The outsider misunderstood, so he didn't close the door and said angrily: "You have such a bad temper. If I weren't your biological father, I would have slapped you."
"Since you can't stand me, then stay away. We will all be happy." Chu Yunli stopped talking and started to light the stove.
Liu Xicai wanted to lose his temper again.
However, this is the daughter who just came back. The father and daughter have never gotten along before and have no affection at all. If they lose their temper, they will only push their daughter further away. He has lived half his life and only had a stupid son who was laughed at by outsiders.
After many years, I finally have a well-behaved daughter, who is willing to take her home no matter what.
He was afraid that he would say something bad, so he took two deep breaths, but he didn't know what to say. His eyes fell on the small stove and asked curiously: "Are you sick?"
"You're the one who's sick." Chu Yunli said without raising her head, "I won't go back."
Liu Xicai pulled a handful of hair: "You already know the whole story, why are you still angry with me?"
Chu Yunli said bluntly: "The fact is that you insulted my mother."
Liu Xicai emphasized: "That was the order of her parents, and her mother agreed!"
"But she doesn't want to, and she's already married." Chu Yunli held a fan: "Go away, don't force me again. Don't force me to do anything to you."
Liu Xicai was furious: "Xiaoya, you are forcing me."
The atmosphere in the yard was stagnant, and someone came to the door again. Lin Jiaan looked in and said, "Xiaoya, this is..."
"You'll be able to drink the medicine in half an hour." Chu Yunli smiled and said, "How are you doing there?"
Liu Xicai looked at his daughter, who had a completely different attitude from when she faced him just now, and his eyes fell on Lin Jia'an at the door: "Who is this?"
"Neighbor!" Chu Yunli answered.
Liu Xicai looked unbelieving: "I'm just a neighbor, it's not your turn to help make medicine." His eyes were fierce: "Stay away from my daughter."
Lin Jiaan blinked: "But she said she is not your daughter."
Nowadays, the poison in Lin Jia'an's body has not been cured. He is so weak that it is difficult to walk. He will definitely suffer from a fight. Chu Yunli took out the clothes she bought for him and said: "Take it and try it on. If it doesn't fit, you can take it back and change it."
Lin Jia'an smiled, turned around and left.
Liu Xicai was furious when he saw someone entering the next door: "What's so good about that pretty boy? No, it's just a yellow face. Apart from being prettier, the yard is as dilapidated as a pigsty... I don't agree to this marriage."
"
"It's none of your business." Chu Yunli waved his hand: "The same thing, I have no relatives."
There was a "pop" sound.
Liu Xicai was so angry that he kicked the empty basin next to him and walked away.
Lin Jia'an next door had put on new clothes and was sorting them out when he heard his mother next door shouting. He hurried over.
Mother Lin wanted her son to cook. When she saw his new clothes, she asked, "Did Xiaoya buy them?"
Lin Jia'an smiled and nodded.
Mother Lin was in a daze: "Son, if you bring me in, will you be gossiped about?"
Lin Jiaan: "..."
"No need to marry into the family."
Xiaoya has been working every day since she was a child. She is very simple. She has never thought of starting her own business. She just hopes that she can get rid of those bad people and live a comfortable and comfortable life.
Mother Lin looked surprised: "How much luck have you accumulated in your previous life...I must have done a lot of good things in my previous life to be able to get along with such a good girl."
*
After Liu Xicai returned home, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He kept a straight face as soon as he entered the door.
Mrs. Qin was already used to his weird temper. She used to be wary of her son's various compromises, but now that she saw that her son was not included in the family business, she could no longer bear it and snorted: "Having fun outside,
I don't owe you a cold face when you get home."
"Shut up." Liu Xicai said in a deep voice, "Xiaoya has been out for a few days, have you asked me once?"
Mrs. Qin's face was full of disapproval: "My mother doesn't care about her, but she is not my daughter. My own son can't even care about it, so I have no time to care about others."
"If you hadn't been talking nonsense, she wouldn't have moved away." Liu Xicai's tone became more serious: "Do you know that she has already bought her own house and even said that she has no father? You should protect these things in the house like treasures.
Yes, people didn’t take it seriously at all.”
Mrs. Qin was hanging clothes, and she paused when she heard this: "Did you buy a house?"
She was immediately overjoyed.
In her opinion, Xiaoya's ability to buy a small yard was already her best effort, and she probably didn't have much money. The reason why she didn't want to keep anything behind was that she was still young and energetic.
Thinking of something, she frowned: "If I remember correctly, that girl is not favored in the Tang family. Where can she get the money to buy a yard?"
Liu Xicai, who has been married for many years, knew what she was thinking when he saw her expression, and sneered: "Don't worry, I didn't give you any money. It would be better if she wanted my money."
"A good man won't live in separate families!" Ms. Qin said with a smile: "It's a good thing for the elders that someone bought a yard based on their own ability."
Seeing that she had no intention of reflecting on her mistakes from beginning to end, Liu Xicai was so angry that he kicked the basin of clothes.
There was still half a basin of clothes that had not been dried. The basin was kicked up and the clothes inside fell to the ground.
Mrs. Qin has been doing laundry all day long, this is the last point, and there is not much water in the well recently, so laundry is very difficult. She does her best to take care of her son at home, and the man wants to make trouble for her when he comes back from his leisure time. It doesn't make sense
Well. She immediately became annoyed: "Please pick it up."
"Shall I pick it up?" Liu Xicai couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed him and threw him to the ground: "Xiaoya was driven away by you. You just wanted to make me die without someone to care for me. If you don't like taking care of me, just get out. I didn't ask for it.
Let you stay!"
After saying that, he strode back to his room and kicked open the door with a bang.
Mrs. Qin fell down and felt extremely painful. She couldn't get up for a long time. She was so angry that she got up and went back to her parents' home.
It takes half an hour to walk from the Qin family to the alley where the Jiang family lives. In fact, it is quite far away. The more Qin thought about it on the way back in the carriage, the angrier she became. Thinking of passing by the alley where the Jiang family was, she simply asked the driver to pull her away.
past.
Chu Yunli boiled the medicine and delivered it to the Lin family. Mother Lin was very happy. Even though the two families lived next door, she still had to let her son send the girl home.
Even though Chu Yunli had just moved here a few days ago, the neighbors had already noticed the signs of the door between the two young men. Seeing the two talking in the alley, everyone passing by smiled kindly.
"Xiaoya!"
Hearing a loud shout, Chu Yunli shouted loudly.
Mrs. Qin strode over: "Even if you leave, you still want to be a pest between our husband and wife. You are not very young, but you are so evil-minded..." She came over in a hurry, and when she got closer, she saw a young man beside Xiaoya.
, mockingly said: "You are indeed a vixen, the best at coaxing men. How dare you do this in broad daylight?"
What happened?
What's wrong with an unmarried man and an unmarried woman standing together and talking?
Besides, Xiaoya's elders are more unreliable than the last, and Lin Jia'an has a sick old lady. As long as the two of them are willing, this marriage can basically be successful.
The unmarried couple who were about to get engaged were standing in the alley in broad daylight without holding hands. This was too serious a statement.
Chu Yunli clapped her hands and gave her a slap.
Mrs. Qin fell down and could barely get up. She couldn't do the laundry, so she took advantage of her anger and wanted to go back to her parents' house to rest for a few days... If she stayed at Liu's house, her mother-in-law would not help her take care of the child.
.The body is her own. Only if she lives a long and healthy life will her children be taken care of.
After receiving this blow, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Chu Yunli looked puzzled: "I didn't use much force, don't pretend."
Mrs. Qin: "..." She wasn't pretending!
I really can't get up.
Chu Yunli thought for a while, called the coachman over, pulled Qin and threw her back into the carriage: "Send her home."
Mrs. Qin screamed in pain, which attracted a lot of people to watch. She also wanted Xiaoya to compensate or at least apologize. As a result, everyone cursed after hearing Xiaoya tell her identity.
She should.
It was late at night, when Liu Xicai was lying down, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. He was too lazy to pay attention, and Liu's mother didn't want to open it, but the people outside were very patient and kept knocking, as if they would not stop until they knocked the person out.
Both mother and son were quarreled. When they opened the door and saw an unknown person, Liu Xicai frowned: "What's the matter?"
The coachman was frightened by his fierce tone and pointed at the carriage: "The person inside wants to go home, but she can't stand up..."
Liu's mother walked over in two steps, opened the curtain, and saw her daughter-in-law. She suddenly became furious: "Aren't you going home? How did you get yourself into this?"
After Mrs. Qin left the alley, she gave up the idea of returning to her parents' home. Xiaoya didn't know how to respect her elders and beat her like this, so why did she come back to complain.
"Little Ya, hit me!"
Liu Xicai was stunned: "You deserve it! Who are you going to trouble her with?"
Qin: "..."
She looked at her mother-in-law: "Mom, that girl is neither old nor young, and she has no elders in her eyes. I saw her standing with a man, so I tried to persuade her, and she attacked me."
Mother Liu frowned: "Stop playing with these little tricks. No matter how you smear Xiaoya, she is a member of the Liu family. Even if she doesn't come back, the things in this family will still be half of hers."
This was the first time that the mother and son had clearly stated that they wanted to give Xiaoya something, and they divided half of it at once.
You know, in addition to this courtyard, the Liu family also has six shops. The rent can make a family of four live comfortably. If half of the shops are missing, they will have to spend more money on flowers. How can this be possible?
"No!" Mrs. Qin said plausibly: "Bao'er is a son, and the family property is passed down to sons. You can give her a little, but not so much."
Liu Xicai had never thought about how much he would give to his daughter. He was surprised by what his mother said, but he didn't take it to heart. No matter what his mother said, he still had the final say on how much he would give to his daughter.
However, he couldn't bear it when Mrs. Qin acted like a miser.
"How to divide the family property is my business." Liu Xicai said impatiently: "Don't you want to go back to your parents' home? Go back."
He took out a handful of broken silver and handed it to the coachman: "Send her away."
Mrs. Qin screamed: "You are not afraid of anything happening to me this late at night! Liu Xicai, you are too cruel!"
Liu Xicai looked indifferent: "Brother the coachman doesn't look like a bad person, it doesn't matter."
It can be seen that people know their faces but not their hearts, and it is said that people cannot be judged by their appearance. What if it happens?
For a moment, Mrs. Qin felt cold all over her body as she opened the door, feeling that all her efforts to the Liu family over the years had gone to waste.
*
The Tang family didn't know that the Liu family was in such trouble, after all, they had too much to take care of themselves.
Everyone's illnesses and injuries pointed at Tang Qianqian.
The inn at home has been closed, and Tang Qianqian can't take care of her family of three, so she can't spare any time to visit the guest inn.
In fact, if Jiang Huixin was a good person, she could hire someone to do it, but Tang Qianqian was raised too well and knew nothing about the family business. If she wanted to make money, she could only take a break.
Tang Qianqian is already 12 years old and has never done so much work. She was so tired all day long that her back ached. After making another pot of porridge, she said helplessly: "Mom, you can't go to the other side, Brother A Lin."
Do you want to bring some ready-made food at home?"
Cooking by yourself is hot and tiring, and the key is that it doesn’t taste good.
"No money." Jiang Huixin was also helpless. If she had known that the whole family would be in this situation, she would never have spoiled her little daughter so much. Even if she didn't let anyone do the work, she would only have her by her side all the time, so that she could fight.
It would be better to take care of the family business than to have no income at all now.
The key is that the family has no savings and still owes nearly twenty taels of silver in interest.
Tang Qianqian lowered her head: "I heard something today, I don't know whether it is true or not."
No one paid attention to her.
Jiang Hui was seriously ill and Tang Mingshan was in no mood.
Tang Qianqian continued by herself: "Sister, she bought a yard not far from my grandma's house. I heard that the yard was sold for more than ten taels of silver."
Still no one answered, Tang Qianqian asked tentatively: "Where did she get the money?"
Tang Mingshan said angrily: "I have a good father. Stop dreaming!"
Tang Qianqian: "..."
"No, I heard that someone named Liu came to the door and was driven away by her. If the money was provided by the Liu family, she would definitely not dare to do it. The fool's mother went there and was slapped by her. The Liu family
Later, I didn’t come to her door to cause trouble for her.”
Jiang Hui was thoughtful.
Tang Mingshan didn't believe that Xiaoya could buy the yard on his own, but now that she was very skillful and ruthless, it was not impossible to rob her.
Thinking of this, he thought, if he went to the Yamen to file a complaint, the girl would definitely not get any favors. However, he gave up the idea in just a moment. The little girl was ruthless, and it was not easy for him to raise him to the point where he could barely get out of bed.
I don't want to get hurt anymore.
Not to mention the inconvenience behind the injury, the key is the pain!
Who wouldn’t want something as good as money?
Tang Mingshan was now crazy about poverty, so of course he wanted to. But he didn't dare to ask for it himself, so he asked Tang Qianqian to find a carriage and send Jiang Huixin there.
Jiang Hui was very reluctant. Her daughter was living a good life, but if she tried to get along with others at this time, the already limited relationship between mother and daughter would be eroded. According to her original idea, they would be fine now, and wait.
Now that my daughter is married and a mother, if she tries to move around again, there may be some possibility of reconciliation.
The carriage arrived outside Chu Yunli's yard. The gate was open, and the young men and women were boiling medicine. Tang Qianqian was about to get off the carriage when she was grabbed by Jiang Huixin: "Don't go."
She had inquired just now and found out that her daughter had indeed bought the yard for at least a dozen taels. This was no small sum!
Tang Qianqian was confused: "If you don't go, we won't be able to explain to dad."
"Anyway, as long as you have money, you don't have to ask Xiaoya for it." Jiang Huixin sneered: "Let the carriage go forward."
A little further past is where the Chiang family is.
Tang Qianqian has been well-behaved since she was a child. This is a nice way of saying it. To put it more unpleasantly, she means she is very good at asking for favors and being obedient. When bad things happen, she will never move forward. When good things happen, she will act coquettishly and get angry and wait for others to deliver them to her. She did not refute her mother's words and arrived outside the Jiang family.
Just shut up.
"Mom, open the door!"
Mother Jiang was not having a good life these days. She took over the laundry job of helping day laborers, working from morning to night every day, and those people provided her with three meals a day.
Seeing her daughter come back, Mother Jiang was not happy: "I am busy and have no time to entertain you."
Jiang Huixin held her daughter's hand and stepped through the door: "We can't open the pot at home, and I'm here to ask for money. You sold me for a good price back then, but it makes no sense to not give me any money."
Mother Jiang: "..."
"I don't!"
"If you don't have the money, sell the house to pay it off!" Jiang Huixin had already thought of this on the way here: "I owe a lot of interest, please help me pay back some."
The daughter who had always been weak suddenly changed her temper. Mother Jiang frowned: "You are so bold, I am your mother..."
Jiang Huixin was indeed scared, and her legs were shaking under her skirt, but there was nothing more terrifying in this world than poverty. If she didn't muster up the courage to ask her mother for money, Brother Li would come to collect the debt in two days, and the whole family would be devastated.
To be embarrassed...that would be a nightmare!
"If you dare not give it, I will order this house!"
Mother Jiang was surprised at her daughter's boldness, and was both frightened and angry.
Several children in the house heard the noise outside and quietly moved out from the wall. Not long after, Mrs. Li ran back with her hands on her hips: "Who said the house was for sale!"
She stepped into the yard and said fiercely: "This house belongs to me and my sister-in-law. Who dares to sell it?"
Jiang Huixin: "..."
Mother Jiang was dissatisfied: "I have a share, too."
Mrs. Li knew that what her mother-in-law did was unkind. The house at home was in the name of her late father-in-law, and it might have been sold without her knowing. At the moment, she was not busy going back to work and letting her children
I went and called Mrs. Zhou back.
"Sister-in-law, let's sell this yard and divide it! Otherwise, we might become someone else's one day."
Zhou agreed immediately.
The two decided so happily.
This is the ancestral home!
Mother Jiang was so angry that she almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
