When she was asked about this, Aunt Zhu raised her chin and said arrogantly, "If you ask this, you are asking the right person."
"We have iron mines in Tiezhen. Not to mention the county town, there are often wealthy people from the capital." She squinted her eyes and counted on her fingers, "As long as I can remember, the one with the biggest background is the Chenhou Mansion in the capital.
The princes of other families have all been here... There are also generals, imperial envoys, and various adults. We ordinary people can't tell who has the highest status among them. As far as I know, when the prince Chenhou came, let alone the county seat,
Even the adults in Fucheng are accompanying me personally."
Chu Yunli finished drying her clothes and listened with great interest.
Seeing her interest in coming, Aunt Zhu became proud and said, "It's a pity that you can't see her. You weren't born yet when they came."
"Oh, by the way, Prince Chen Hou is accompanied by a beautiful woman with a big belly. She looks really handsome. We don't have such good-looking people in Tiezhen. She is just like a beauty from a painting. I don't know her parents.
How did it happen? She was pregnant and about to give birth. Her body shape has not changed, except for her big belly... If you ask me, this wealthy family must have some ways to take care of their women. When women from ordinary farmers' families are pregnant, their faces
Not only do you have spots on your face, but you are also obese and have a few rings of flesh on your body. Many people cannot lose weight in their lifetime. But others, after giving birth to a child, it is as if they were never pregnant."
Chu Yunli's face was full of disbelief, "Is it true? It sounds like you have seen it with your own eyes."
"Don't tell me, I have really seen it." Aunt Zhu became more and more proud, "When she left, I went to the town entrance to see it myself. That woman was so beautiful. She had just given birth and she was with a big girl.
It seems like that, no wonder Prince Chen Hou took her with him even though he was so far away..."
Chu Yunli also wanted to ask if she was born when Prince Chen Hou left, but Mrs. Qin in the room suddenly shouted, "Yu Shan, I have to go to the latrine!"
Chu Yunli responded, turned around and walked in without asking any more questions.
There was no audience for Aunt Zhu behind her, and she was still a little regretful. She thought for a while and said loudly, "I remembered that you were born when she left. It's a pity that it wasn't the full moon. Your mother was taking you to confinement. No
Look! Haha!”
Chu Yunli paused as she entered the door, then recovered and walked to the bed to help Mrs. Qin get up.
He helped her to the latrine, and after lying down again, Mrs. Qin closed her eyes and said, "What did Aunt Zhu say outside just now? She was so lively."
Chu Yunli looked at her face and said, "The prince came from the capital, and all the adults from the county accompanied him, and even praised the prince's wife for her good looks."
Hearing this, Mrs. Qin did not open her eyes, "She likes to talk nonsense the most. You can just listen to it."
"I didn't take it seriously at first." Chu Yunli responded casually, "Mom, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Mrs. Qin didn't answer, but said, "It's time to harvest the crops in the field. I can't get up, so you go and harvest them."
Chu Yunli: "..." You think highly of me too much.
If I remember correctly, Dai Yushan usually didn't go to the fields, and the most he did was deliver a meal.
The autumn harvest is so tiring that normal people would have to shed their skin, but Chu Yunli wouldn't do it. Where can she find the money? She immediately said, "But I don't know how."
Mrs. Qin still didn't open her eyes, "Your uncle will come to help you when the time comes. Don't be lazy on purpose. Girl, please be diligent and do yourself a favor. I have worked so hard to plant it. Why don't you leave it to rot in the ground?"
?I don’t need to eat next year, I will starve to death. Raising you is worse than raising a dog. Raising pigs can also eat meat, raising you is of no use..."
Here we go again, anyway, every time I scold Dai Yushan, it is an infinite derogation. What do you mean by being worse than a pig or a dog?
Chu Yunli didn't care what she heard, it went in one ear and out the other. But if she thought she was her mother's substitute, how uncomfortable would it be if she heard these words?
This was even more extreme than cold violence. As time passed and Dai Yushan listened more, she became less and less confident. So much so that she actually felt good about marrying a bastard like Hu Laosi.
Chu Yunli didn't want to pay attention to her, so she turned around and went out to cook. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind to silence her even if she didn't kill her the day she knew the truth.
This is the first time Chu Yunli has encountered such an unpleasant mouth!
If Aunt Zhu is right, Dai Yushan is probably the child of that prince, but what about the Qin family's child?
Was it given to the other party in exchange, or was it not supported at all?
If even Aunt Zhu, who likes to inquire into people's secrets next door, doesn't know, then maybe the only one in the iron town who knows the inside story is the Qin family herself.
During the autumn harvest, the two uncles from the Qin family came to help. In fact, they were very kind to Dai Yushan. Knowing that she had never done any work, they sent her back to take care of her mother and just cook and send it to her.
It's like an ordinary uncle's attitude towards his niece.
The more this happens, it proves that they don’t know what’s going on!
I never expected that the Qin family would hide it so closely, even from her natal brothers.
The eldest uncle's name was Qin Huai, and the younger uncle Qin Tao's name was Qin Huai. When they came back for dinner after finishing their work, they also talked about the marriage on behalf of Tuoshan.
Qin Tao suggested to her sister who was lying on the bed, "My eldest son is seventeen this year, how about our two families get married?"
Mrs. Qin waved her hand, "No, I don't want to force her to get married."
Can't speak!
Sure enough, Qin Tao looked not so good, "Yu Shan is your daughter, but the boss is not bad either. He is a good helper at home and outside, and he is obedient and filial. How can he not be worthy of Tuo Shan? Besides, I won't treat you badly if you hire her back."
If you want her, why do you force her?"
Mrs. Qin also knew that she had said the wrong thing and explained, "Her marriage must be done willingly."
"This is easy to handle." Qin Tao looked at Chu Yunli who was drinking porridge, "Tao Shan, would you like to go to your uncle's house?"
"No!" Chu Yunli answered without hesitation, and immediately said, "I have to take care of my mother and not get married."
The two brothers didn't look good when they heard that, but when they heard what she said next, they felt heartbroken. Looking at her sister lying on the bed, Qin Tao suggested, "Anyway, your two cousins, when the time comes, you will be older."
It’s good for your cousin to live with you and take care of your mother.”
Not only did he have a daughter-in-law, but he could also take care of his sister. If he really had a son here, everyone would say that the Qin family is loving and righteous.
Chu Yunli was dumbfounded, but she couldn't just admit it. She reacted very quickly, "My aunt won't agree, and besides, I have someone I like."
If the son were to be married into a wife, Qin's second sister-in-law would definitely not agree, but the benefits could be seen. The house and land here, including the money that Qin had saved over the years, would eventually be paid for by Tuoshan.
It belongs to her son! Even if Qin's second sister-in-law doesn't agree now, she will agree after thinking about this.
Therefore, Chu Yunli added the last sentence.
Qin Tao disagreed, "I like it but I can't eat it. Are you stupid?"
Chu Yunli found that every time after becoming a girl, someone would urge her to get married when she got older, which made her very irritated!
Fortunately, Mrs. Qin came to the rescue in bed, "Don't force her on the marriage."
What Qin said was tantamount to rejecting the kindness of his two brothers.
The Qin brothers didn't look very good. You must know that they had just helped Qin with work for a day, and they were rejected by her so bluntly. They stopped drinking wine and threw down their chopsticks, "Then take good care of yourself.
We went back."
After saying that, the two of them left.
It could be seen that both of them were a little angry. Chu Yunli raised her eyes to see Qin's expression on the bed. Even if the brother was angry, he had no intention of changing his words.
This is good, Chu Yunli doesn't have to bother rejecting the Qin family's marriage.
After the autumn harvest, Chu Yunli had some free time again. She would go up the mountain whenever she could, and she had saved some money these days. This time, it seemed that she could do nothing but wait.
From Dai Yushan's marriage, it can be seen that Mrs. Qin is a stubborn person. If she doesn't want to say anything, she will not say it no matter how hard she presses her.
Winter has arrived in a blink of an eye, and there is a lot of firewood in the house. Dai Yushan will be sixteen after celebrating the New Year. A few days ago, before Chu Yunli came, many people in the village wanted to come to propose marriage. However, since Mrs. Qin fell ill, except for
Among the two or three young people, no one met her by chance. Even Zhu Mingyue over there had already made a marriage arrangement.
Qin's illness meant that for Chu Yunli, she rejected many people out of the blue.
In winter, there was almost no one in the mountains. Chu Yunli was bored at home and casually went out for a walk. She followed the path in the mountains all the way up and reached the edge of the mine without paying much attention.
Still far away, he saw the officers and soldiers guarding the mine. Chu Yunli didn't want to cause trouble, so he left in another direction.
Before they had gone far, they saw a man lying in the col. He was completely black, with some wounds on his back, and the bones were faintly visible. He was silent, and at first glance, he looked like a dead person.
Chu Yunli frowned slightly and looked at the mine not far away. Dai Yushan had heard that after some miners hired from other places died, they just threw them into the mountain col. Not to mention compensation, they even saved the coffin for burial.
Anyway, no one will come to investigate!
She jumped down and turned the man over. Her original intention was to find a hoe to dig a hole and bury the man, otherwise she would feel guilty.
After turning the person over, I found that he was a very young man, maybe twenty years old. The black ash on his face could not hide his handsome facial features. He was even prettier than Chen Huiyu, who was Dai Yushan's favorite.
Chu Yunli was a little surprised, not because of this man's appearance, but when she touched his neck, she found that this man was still breathing!
Since he is not dead, he has to save people.
Fortunately, she was strong enough to drag him across a mountain, and then she dared to leave him to catch his breath. Then she saw the ruined temple not far away... Thinking about it carefully, she found that there really was no place to hide people nearby, and that ruined temple
At least there are tiles. It's winter now. If you leave them outside, you can freeze to death in one night!
After dragging the person into the ruined temple, Chu Yunli lit a fire with the hay, and the room became warm.
Because the man was so seriously injured, he still had a little warmth in his chest. If he hadn't met her, he would have been dead.
Chu Yunli found medicinal materials to help him bandage his wounds, and then went home to get a medicine jar and boil some medicine for him to drink. After working for a long time, he finally took a breather.
It was getting dark outside, and Chu Yunli had to go home. Before leaving, she looked at the man again and said, "I'm doing my best. It's up to you whether you want to live or not."
After saying that, she stood up and planned to leave, but found that the hem of her clothes was being pulled away. She lowered her eyes and found that his fingers were moving. Chu Yunli was so happy that she looked at his face and met his eyes.
.
Just one glance and he fainted again!
Chu Yunli: "..." The worse he got, the worse he became. This time he turned out to be a miner who was killed?
