"I don't know." Chu Yunli turned around and looked at her, "Where do you think I should go?"
Yang's tears were streaming down her face, "Da Ya, it's all your mother's fault. If you go back and admit your mistake, she will forgive you." As he said this, he grabbed her wrist, her slender and pale hands not knowing what to do.
Where did you get such strength?
The mother and daughter reappeared at the door of the courtyard. Mrs. Du said angrily, "My life is not good, but I am still angry. Don't you want to leave? Why are you back?"
Before Yang could apologize, the silent middle-aged man over there said in a rough voice, "Mom, it's time to eat."
Mrs. Du glared at him and said nothing.
Yang looked at the man gratefully, pulled Chu Yunli to sit aside, and handed her a small steamed bun.
Only then did Chu Yunli realize that the steamed buns in each person's hands were of different sizes. Old Man Du and Du Mancang, who had just helped their mother and daughter to rescue them, had the largest buns. Old Lady Du's and the silent fourteen-year-old boy over there and that one
The three-person buns that are about her age are the same.
As for the smallest one in her and Yang's hands, the two of them combined were not as big as Mrs. Du's. Chu Yunli chewed on the steamed bun in her hand that was irritating her throat, and thought about it.
She has just arrived here now, and He Daya only remembers working, and the memory of going to He Village is blurred. She only went to the town once when she was about to get married, and Du Mancang took her throughout the whole journey, so there was no need to worry about it.
Dare to look up. So she doesn't know what the situation is in the town now. She can't leave so hastily. She has to think about it in the long term.
In the middle was a pot of cabbage with water, a little salty, and each person had a steamed bun in his hand to eat the cabbage. They didn't need it for a quarter of an hour, and everyone had already finished eating and left the table.
Before Du Mancang left, he ordered, "Weier, help me put away the dishes and chopsticks. You should do some work after eating all day. Don't be too lazy."
Du Weier retorted, "Why am I lazy? I even went to town to do embroidery to change money. It's not like other people who only eat and don't work all day long."
When she said this, she deliberately glanced at Chu Yunli.
Yang smiled flatteringly, stretched out her hand to collect the bowl, "Weier's hands are for embroidery, so you can't use such swear words. If your hands are too thick, you won't be able to manage the thread. I'll do it."
Du Weier sneered, stood up and left. When she reached the door of the wing, she suddenly paused and looked suspiciously at the hanging rope in the yard, "Where's my coat?"
Yang entered the kitchen, Du Weier looked at Chu Yunli and asked, "Where's my coat?"
Chu Yunli wiped the faded paint table with a handkerchief, "It's by the river, I can't move it."
Du Weier was so angry that she stamped her feet, got up and ran out, "I'm going to the town tomorrow to get some embroidery in exchange for money. If I can't find my coat, I will definitely ask my mother to drive you out!" Her tone was domineering and willful.
Chu Yunli didn't think so. She might not starve to death if she was driven out. She entered the kitchen with an invisible handkerchief. Yang was washing the dishes. When he saw her coming in, he sighed, "Da Ya, what are you doing today?"
Are you here? Why don’t you bring your clothes back with you?”
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that they will like you if you are more sensible? Don't compare with Wei'er. There is no harm if you learn housework. My mother has only been in the family for a year, and outsiders say that my stepmother can't do it.
Good to the first child. Many people are watching me secretly. Don’t make it difficult for me. When they truly accept me in the future, our mother and daughter’s hard life will be over. When you get married, you will still have brothers from your mother’s family.
reliable."
These days, I can’t even rely on myself, so I still want to rely on others.
Chu Yunli looked down upon Yang's thoughts. He Daya's misery and Yang's misfortune were actually caused by her thoughts. Yang's natal family was not a good person.
Chu Yunli whispered, "Mom, actually the cousins from the He family may be more reliable than Du Yu. They are related by blood over there. What do we have here? Are we just going to serve them like cows and horses?"
Yang looked outside and scolded in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, call me big brother."
"I am not necessarily a sister in other people's eyes." Chu Yunli said seriously, "We have been here for a year, has he ever called us seriously?"
Yang didn't take it seriously, "I'm a scholar, so it's normal for me to be reserved. Your Uncle Du is very kind to us, and your grandma, although her words are tough and her words don't sound nice, they don't really make you hungry.
"
Although this was a fact, Chu Yunli was speechless for a moment. In fact, she thought carefully about it. Her father's family had already been divided, and there was land in the family. It was not a problem to feed the family. Even if he was gone, the land would not be used.
Because of their race, mother and daughter would not go hungry. Later, Yang wanted to remarry and take her father's only child with her, so the land was taken back by the He clan.
Until now, I still have to live under other people's roofs and beg for food.
Yang married the Du family, took care of the housework, and might have children in the future. She was already a breadwinner, but the daughter she brought... why should they raise her?
I'm doing you a favor by raising you, so don't be ungrateful! Therefore, she should work more.
Especially Mrs. Du, although she would not starve to death if she had a mouthful of food to eat, she always felt that she would be at a loss if she did not do enough. On weekdays, she liked to boss her around the most.
After a long while, Chu Yunli said seriously, "Mom, the He family is my home, and I want to go back."
The bowl in Yang's hand fell into the pot, and her tears fell again, "Your father is gone, are you going to leave me too?"
Chu Yunli was vaguely impatient. He Daya might feel pity for her mother and give in step by step, but she would not pity such a woman. "If you were really good for me, you shouldn't have brought me to the Du family!"
If you are really good to your daughter, you shouldn't let her end up in such an embarrassing situation.
Yang was stunned, "But if your father is gone, how can I live as a woman? There is a lot of trouble in front of the widow's house. There are still so many gangsters in the village. If they come a few more times, the rumors from outside will drown us mother and daughter... You
You are still a child and don’t understand the power of rumors. Besides, Du Yu can read and you will be his sister if he brings you here. If you have a powerful brother, even if you get married, your mother’s family will have someone to rely on..."
Yang had tears in her eyes and her tone was meaningful, that's what she really thought.
Chu Yunli saw Du Weier coming in with her flowered jacket from the window. She didn't say more and just said, "I want to go back to He's house."
Yang was stunned, and carefully looked at the unfamiliar look on the familiar face, "But your father's land and house have been taken back to the clan, how can they be willing to give it back to you?"
"There will always be a way." Chu Yunli stood up and went out, leaving behind a stunned Yang.
She didn't go to the river to get her clothes to dry, so Du Weier wouldn't even bring them back when she went there. Yang wanted to be a loving mother, so she just let her go.
She left Dujia Village and went directly to Shanghe Village.
There are hundreds of households in Shanghe Village, all of which are members of the He clan. When Chu Yunli left, it happened to be the time when everyone was going to the ground. When they saw her coming back, many people greeted her. She did not have stage fright, smiling and calling as she remembered.
people.
She went to the village chief's home.
The village chief is her grandfather, three generations back, and they still have a very close relationship.
The village chief's house is a brick house. When Chu Yunli walked in, he happened to meet the village chief's wife coming out of the kitchen. She was full of surprise and said, "Ah, Da Ya is here."
Chu Yunli smiled and asked, "Grandma, are you here?"
"Yes." The village chief's wife is in her fifties and is an easy-going woman. "I'll call you."
The village chief came out of the house with his hands behind his back. He was quite surprised to see her. After looking her up and down, his eyes passed over her short cuffs and patches all over her body. He sighed, "Da Ya, you
How is Mom doing at the Du family?"
Chu Yunli didn't waste any time, "It's not very good, so I want to come back and live there. My father's yard is still there, just on the ground..."
The village chief sighed again, "The land has been given to your uncle. There are many people watching the land, but the land belongs to your grandfather, and your uncle should get his fair share."
Chu Yunli said in a serious tone, "I want to come back, so please help me. Not only do I want to come back, I also want to set up a household."
The village chief was dumbfounded, "Establishing a female household?"
Chu Yunli nodded, "It's a female household. My father's blood cannot be cut off just like that. I am the child of my father's house." If you don't want to have biological children at that time, you can adopt a child named He, as long as she has a house and a house.
There is as much land as people want.
Nowadays, people attach great importance to the inheritance of heirs. She spoke sincerely. The village chief was a little moved and said, "You are a good boy. If your uncle is willing to return the land to you, it shouldn't be a big problem."
The original uncle is an honest and honest man, and he is also the aunt... who has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
The village chief had no objections, so the villagers basically didn't have many objections. She went out and went to He Daya's home where she had lived for twelve years. Since Yang's remarriage, this place had been empty, and there were some in the yard.
There are no weeds, but the house is still clean.
"What are you doing back here?" A woman's voice rang at the gate of the courtyard. Outside the fenced courtyard, Mrs. He Yang was holding a grass-cutting knife, a little wary, "Where is your mother?"
Chu Yunli said seriously, "Auntie, I want to come back to live! So, move the things that belong to your family back here quickly, otherwise I will think that you are taking pity on my niece and supporting me."
"Fart!" Mrs. He Yang said loudly, "You think so well. Didn't your mother take you away? From now on, you will be the daughter of the Du family. The genealogy is no longer in the He family, and there will be no you in the He family's yard.
share!”
"This yard belongs to my father. He only has one daughter, so naturally it is mine." Chu Yunli said in a leisurely tone. In fact, the village chief was relieved, and she was not so afraid that He Yang would not give it to her. "In the future,
I will come back and live.”
He Yang bared his teeth and claws, and his voice was so loud that half the village could hear, "You fart, I won't agree to it!"
"Come back!" A steady middle-aged man's voice sounded next door, "If you are willing to come back, this yard will be returned to you, and the land will be returned to you."
After hearing this, Chu Yunli felt relieved again. Uncle He Daya was still very reliable. If Yang hadn't listened to her parents' advice and insisted on remarrying, mother and daughter would have been able to survive despite the hardship.
He Yang was anxious, "His father, didn't you say that this courtyard is for the second child to live in after he gets married?" She had already spread the word. Recently, several people were interested. If there was no such house, and the second child got married, he would still have to build a house.
House, otherwise marriage will become a problem.
There were many people watching the fun, and many people were gloating about the misfortune.
At first, many people were interested in this courtyard and the land belonging to He Dachuan, but because He Dachuan had an eldest brother, and He Yang promised to adopt the second son to He Dachuan in the future, no one else could compete with him.
At this time, a woman on the side came forward and said with a smile, "His aunt, you are thinking of sending someone off now. Da Ya is a girl, and she will get married sooner or later. You ask her to write a note, and she will marry in this yard."
That’s the second child in your family.”
A woman next to her agreed, "Yes, she is already thirteen and will get married in two years at most. By then, if you help her prepare a dowry, you will be worthy of Dachuan both emotionally and rationally. When you go down there in the future,
He will also thank you."
The peasant woman didn't shy away from talking about marrying someone in the girl's family, even in front of the girl. But everything was fine, and she had no objections to her coming back. She didn't think she shouldn't live in this house, she just married someone.
Later, it should be given to the uncle who helped her prepare the dowry.
He Yang was right in thinking that the dowry must not include a betrothal gift. There was no doubt that there was some ambiguity in this. It was regarded as the rent of this house. It was empty anyway, and she still had to free up her hands to clean it. Now
No longer refusing, "Da Ya, I won't embarrass you. Please ask the village chief to write a note stating that this house will be given to your second brother after you get married, and you can live in it."
Of course Chu Yunli refused. It was her father's house, so why did she become an outsider? When she lived in this house, there were still people who were concerned about her house. What if her daughter-in-law came in in a hurry?
Will she force her to get married as soon as possible as an elder?
This is very likely to happen!
Furthermore, she suddenly thought that if she really came back, He Dajiang would be her biological uncle. If her father passed away early, it would make sense for He Dajiang to help her prepare the dowry, but he could also decide on her marriage.
More and more people gathered outside, including gangsters from the village, who also leaned under the big tree at her door to watch the fun.
Chu Yunli glanced at her, intending to take a look at who they were. In the future, she would live by herself, and these people might come to disturb her, so it would not be wrong to take this opportunity to take a look.
At this glance, her eyes fell on a young man who was leaning against a big tree. He had a handsome face, his hands folded across his chest, and his cloth was full of patches. It was loose but clean, and he had a horse tail in his mouth.
Cao Cao looked at the situation here with great interest.
Her eyes became sore and a little blurry. She stretched out her hand to wipe them. She reluctantly moved her eyes away from his face, looked at everyone, and said, "I will not marry in the future. I will recruit a son-in-law to come to the house. The name of the child I will give birth to will be He. I will inherit."
My father is incense."
Ignoring everyone's surprised expressions, she looked at He Yang and said, "I won't bother my second brother."
